Let's start a thread, purely for my sake, and see if others can use it later to solve their song-searching problems.
I've got this riff / drum-beat in my head, but I just cannot remember what band / what song it is! It's impossible to google a drum-beat, and impossible to say it with text so someone else understands. To counter this, I shall upload a drum-beat version to youtube so you can hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3bouR-6LRk&feature=youtu.be
Notice the pause in the drumming? That's when the guitar does a "wave-like" long-sound "waaaauuumm." or something similar.
Text-version in the spoiler for those who feel adventurous
Alright, let's see if Bethesda Forums has what it takes to be Sherlock Holmes' and figure this out. It's eating me alive when I can't place my finger on this song!
