Rock and roll changed dramatically as the calendar flipped from 1969 to 1970. The new decade began with The Beatles breaking up. If the pop era ended with The Beatles, the rock era was only beginning. A new musical style had been brewing in the South, while Californians blending country and rock music would soon dominate FM radio. America found its own “Rolling Stones” in Boston, and a band in Jacksonville wrote a nine-minute anthem as ubiquitous as “Stairway to Heaven.”

This was the year that gave us some of the most unforgettable guitar riffs in the history of classic rock. These riffs are not just tunes; they define the year and bring back memories of big hair, leather jackets, and the first notes of rebellion. Let’s dive into the seven heaviest riffs that 1976 had to offer.

Few bands have the kind of progressive death metal intuition that WHITE STONES are packing. Formed by OPETH bassist Martin Mendez just over five years ago, the Barcelona-based quintet have already released two well-received and intriguing studio records. The spirit of his other band was undeniably present and discernible throughout both, but by the time WHITE STONES released "Dancing Into Oblivion" in 2021, they seemed to have already outgrown any need to directly emulate the Swedish titans. Instead, Mendez's band started to get weird and experimental, albeit still within a framework of prog-inclined heaviness.

Great White. Slaughter, Quiet Riot and Vixen…Ah, the names alone conjure up images of sunsets on the Strip, the lingering scent of cheap whiskey, and that unmistakable sound that defined a generation. They’ve all been around the world and back, leaving a trail of classic anthems in their wake, and now they are packed into a one-night showcase of Epic 80’s Metal. I have no idea why these types of shows are not more popular in the wake of the the Motley Crue/Def Leppard “Stadium” tour. You don’t need to have a festival or a massive outdoor venue to bring together a great selection of band that normally play smaller venues, and showcase them back in an arena show. It’s a win-win for fans and bands alike, and the Honda Center in Anaheim was packed with fans wanting to rock.
