Tempo fa il Chicago Music Exchange, celebre negozio di Chicago, considerato un importantissimo punto di riferimento per quanto riguarda gli strumenti vintage, aveva realizzato un video con i 100 più grandi riff di chitarra, eseguiti uno dopo l’altro senza soluzione di continuità. Per omaggiare anche il mondo del basso e della batteria, ora il CME ha pensato bene di realizzare un video con i più grandi groove della storia.
Protagonisti della clip sono il bassista Marc Najjar e il batterista Nate Bauman, compagni di band nei Royale. Anche stavolta, i riff sono suonati uno di seguito all’altro. Tra i brani citati, Stand by me di Ben King, Love will tear us apart dei Joy Division, N.I.B. dei Black Sabbath, Money dei Pink Floyd e Get lucky dei Daft Punk. Ecco il video:
