If you’re gonna build 50 minutes of music around one riff, that riff has gotta be good. It’s gotta be one of the best riffs ever written. There have been many riffs over the years that can qualify as some of the best of all time, and most of them only play for about a minute or so (you know, because the songs they are in have other riffs). So ensure it is something the listener will never grow tired of hearing.

If you’re gonna build 50 minutes of music around one riff, you should probably try to create some sense of change through the rhythm section. Maybe we taste the riff backed by a slower beat first, and then a gallop, and then harmonized with juicy bass grooves. Add some odd time drumming in that doesn’t quite line up with the riff to throw the listener’s brain for a loop and add freshness.

If you’re gonna build 50 minutes of music around one riff, then let the vocals carry harmonized anthems overtop it, delve into harsh vocals to craft a darker section, write some transcendent lyrics that will keep the listener holding on to every line across the lengthy repetition.

For the love of god, don’t do this.
