We've been Gaining it for Riffs for a full year!!
To celebrate proper, this time we have an esteemed guest in Nathan Beaudry from the Deep Purple Podcast!
Nate hits us with three main riffs and them some.
We talk Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica/Megadeth, Herbie Hancock with sprinkles of Vanilla Ice / Queen, Jethro Tull and of course a bit of the ol' Deep Purple.

It is indeed WARPURGIS NACHT - and what better date to GAIN IT FOR RIFFS, yet again?
The preciseness of The preciseness of the Police and the will to experiment of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
fueled our riff choices this week.
03:28 warrants The Police and at 35:46 we head on to Mars
Enjoy!

Easter Special with your riff boys travelling through time and rock.
As we have relapsed into habits of time travelling we have made stops both around Y2K with some hipster-stoner in "Sleepy Silver Door" by Dead Meadow and in the midst of the late 80s with some re-branded muscle rock balladery by David Coverdale's might Whitesnake.
So, hey, hop on and join the friggin' show why dontcha!?
Olle opens the Silver Door at 06:10 while Jon riffs through the Still of the Night at the 40:50 mark.
ENJOY!

While dental surgery takes its toll on the normal GIFR production line we at the network would like to invite you into this daydream.
Music by Koltrast
What's up folks?!
We did indeed file for sick-leave on both ends last week, but lo' and behold we are BACK!
This week we visit beautifully groovy riffs from both ends of the Atlantic pond.
Olle tones in the deepest of purple at 06:18 and Jon drops the needle on the Snakeskin Cowboys at 32:32
ENJOY!

Having ended up amongst ancient tombs in the deepest of jungle,
we are unsure if we are trapped within Olle's dengue fever or the schaman's magic pipe.
What we are, however, sure of is that this week we take the Trek of Ancient Riffs!
Hopefully Olle has recovered before next Wednesday for more clear-headed explorations!
Enjoy!

Music by: Jonatan Hedlin
The bums lurking about around the Thames surely didn't know how to prog out at the level of Genesis.
But indeed, they inspired Ian Anderson and Martin Barre to compose long nasty riffs.
Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, two megastars who may have pulled the best line-up split of known history?
Jon rips onto the riffs of J. Tull at the 08:00 minute mark while Olle climbs Solsbury Hill at 37:37.
Enjoy, folks!

YES! JUDAS!
Finally the dual lead prophets of Judas Priest,
Glenn Tipton and KK Downing gets smashed
together with progrock pioneer Steve Howe of YES.
And there is only one place on the podcast heaven
where these stars align - you guessed it:
GAIN IT FOR RIFFS!
Olle gets stuck in the Roundabout at 00:05:47 and Jon pokes
the Electric Eye at 00:43:50!
ENJOY!

So, it happened.
We each made an undisclosed riff choice, as we do for most episodes, and happened to pick the very same band!
This is Episode 666 (42..actually) :
The Unexpected In Flames Special. Olle's mainriff is Clayman from the album of the same name and Jon's is Cloud Connected from the album after, Reroute to Remain.
We take a trip back to teenage years and scope in on In Flames development and changing of style and members over the years.
Othe riffs include "The Jester Race", "Dead Eternity", "The Hive", "Episode 666", "Bullet Ride" and "Only for the Weak"
Outro tune: "Blackbird" by Jonatan Hedlin
Enjoy!

Blizzards!
Jungle Valleys!
Deserts!
What a mighty trek this week, folks.
Your resident riff-mongers are now not only back on earth but completely ROAMING the globe.
Jon is trapped in a blizzard but still welcomes you to the jungle with some mighty ass Slash-riffage as a (standing up!) Owlie explores Sky Valley with a guitar tone of Jurassic proportion.
It's an adventure worthy the, by now, established season 2 of Gain it for Riffs!
Enjoy!

Your riff boys are yet again touching ground on planet earth after a lengthy 144 days in Captain Beyond's Cosmic Space Station.
Coming back as seasoned Monster Astronauts both Jon'o and Owlie-Steen celebrate their newly re-kindled connection with mother earth, by riffing - of course.
Olle is picking from the box this episode, crash-landing into Michael Amott's pentatonic riff-dreams from Halmstad:
Spiritual Beggars! A familiar band for the true Gain it for Riffer and this time it is an all-out feature!
Simultaneously, in another time, Udo Dirkschneider and Wolf Hoffman were plodding down autobahn in an old Volkswagen or Lada, touring their steady beer-chugging hymns from bierstübe to kneipe, from Wacken to Dong Open Air.
So get your riffsticks out of the closet and pour yourself a bland german weissbier and RIFF ON!

LISTEN: JUMP ON A MOON BEAM AND RIDE!
Captain Beyond - S/T (1972) is the deserted island album pick
for both of your resident riffsters, and the 35-minute riffstravaganza
has brought an unfathomable amount of joy to us since we first heard it.
An undeniable classic but at the same time sadly forgotten
by time, sloppy management and bad luck - at the moment the album
is not available on any streaming service..!
So our goal with this New Years Special is to play every riff on the album
and make an introduction to this mystery super-group featuring
Rod Evans (vocals, ex-Deep Purple), Bobby Caldwell (ex-Johnny Winter, ex-Armageddon
ex-Allman Bros), Rhino (ex-Iron Butterfly, ex-Rhinosaurus, ex-Allman Bros) and
Lee Dorman (ex-Iron Butterfly).
Just like the album, this episode should be experienced as one unit,
the imploding center of a dying star, the penultimate accomplishment in 70's riffdom,.
The LP that forged a bond stronger than quasars:
CAPTAIN BEYOND
So strap on your fave purple guitar and riff along!

Happy New Year!
'tis the season! - or something like that, right?!
As philanthropic non-profit riff merchants we come baring gifts.
We know you've all been GREAT (no kidding) this year and thus deserve the HEAVIEST gifts wrapped 'neat the fir.
Olle jingles his heaviest bells with riffs by Corrosion of Conformity and Jon rips out the German veterans in RAMMSTEIN for a proper Weinnacht vibe!
Hell, what can we say.. but:
MERRY RIFFMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all y'all rock and roll children!

Your riff brothers are building an ethereal airthrone as a respite from the ongoing lockdown.
Two quintessential musical duos with riffs heading in vastly different musical directions.
Olle explains why the electric bass is a funny instrument and why getting fired is more important than getting hired.
Jon convicts his right riff hand to three tones of hard labor!
Enjoy the ride, lockdown riff lords!

Fate has brought us both to the late 1960s...rock and/or roll in it's semi-adolescent years. Psychedelic habits, roaring Hammond B3s, increasingly heroic string pugilists. Yes, and why not? This is a great time indeed, a great time for riffs. A worthy stop on our ever elongated journey into and beyond riff dominion.
So, this week Olle riffs out on Iron Butterfly and Jon hits it with the American Band themselves: Grand Funk Railroad.
Intro: Christmas for Dummies by Olle Stjerne
In A Gadda Da Vida, honey!

After a bit over half a year of doing this we take the opportunity to look back at our first 35 hours or so, a.k.a. Season 1!
Never mind the audio drop out 05:21-05;29.
If you are not familiar with Gain it for Riffs this would also serve well as a type of introduction as to what we've been up to since starting this.
We look back at riffs by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Rush, Down, Link Wray, Death, High on Fire, ZZ Top, Justice, Kurt Vile, Metallica and Iron Maiden.
Intro & Outro music: "Born Again (for the very last time)" by The Reverend John Loathe

Prince of Massachusetts!
We both ended up in the later 70s with two rather different but equally brilliant music maestros in Tom Scholz and Prince.
In each episode we pick one main riff each, undisclosed to the other part, to base our discussions around.
In this episode Jonatan jams out on "Long Time" by Boston while Olle goes for "Bambi" by Prince.
We head on to Boston at 06:00 and we stumble about on the ice starting on 40:10
Outro music "You Are The Boss" composed and performed by Spirit Heath
Enjoy!

The final part of our Maiden Special!
In the midst of the European festival season this past summer we did a well received Metallica special here on Gain it for Riffs, and now we are doing it again! To celebrate the completed harvest, or All Hallows Eve, if you wish - what better way to do it than dive deep into Jon's ol' favorite band IRON MAIDEN!
Outro "Cease to Exist" composed and performed by Craneium
Let's have fun!
