okay, I've heard "Green Light" probably a thousand times. But I never really picked up on this. Y'know when the shit gets crazy and there's the intense guitar buildup? Well my wife was like "Hey! That sounds like the guitar from 'Death Valley 69' slowed down!" And I was like "O. M. G." It does, huh? Did everyone else notice this??

Whether this is true or not, I think bands should do that more often. There's a difference between ripping yourself off and self-reference. I'm not exactly sure where one begins and the other ends.. the line seems very blurry. However, if pulled off right it seems like a good idea.

I dnt think you can "rip yrself off" ... I think it is indeed self-reference. I mean DV69 had been their first big hit, and they felt the riff was actually uncharacteristic of the band. So to slow it down and "remix" it into something else, something more characteristic is sort of a cool wink-wink to the fanbase.

I know Aphex Twin has sampled himself a few times, it's pretty interesting to be sitting there listening to a track and being like "hang on a minute..."

It's a common thing that artist repeats itself. It's also true that same things in different context can sound really different...

And I mean that artists do that kind of things unconsciously.

I disagree, I like threads where we analyze specific songs.

I quite like the idea of bands having sort of 'stock' riffs that crop up from time to time in different songs. Not necessarily in a Status Quo kind of a way but more in a sort of working-through-an-idea kind of one. I've noticed a few of these in SY, although I have to say I'd noticed the Green Light-DV 69 continuum.
