I know who he is, vaguely, but that riff isn't in the same league.

Maiden - 5
Moore - 0

Though not a fan of either the Maiden riff was just better.

OK then, a clean kill for Maiden.

If Epoch doesn't respond in the next few hours we can move on to the next person in line, who is Pet_sounds. Epoch, it's now 17:30 in Ireland. You have till 23:00 then you'll have to wait till your turn comes around again. Don't miss out: act now!

The only way you can up Focus is by choosing a song of theirs that isn't Hocus Pocus .

Focus - 1
Trower - 0

Love both of those, but that Hocus riff is very deceiving with the E7#9 in the 4th measure, known as the "Jimi" chord. It's a lot harder than it may seem.

Focus - 2
Trower - 0

Focus 4
Trower 0

Man I remember when Hocus Pocus first started getting played on the radio (1972). Couldn't freaking believe how fast a guitar player Jan Akkerman was.

Got to give this to Focus as well. Song's a classic and the riff is a big part of that.
Focus 5
Trower 0
