Are these things vamps?

When Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard just pounded away on the same chord or two over and over until something breaks is that a vamp?

 

[Mark Wein]

I guess. A vamp is usually a short musical phrase that repeats, usually to fill time until something more important happens.

My musical ideas are all vamp.

i learned from metal gear solid 2 that a 'vamp' is when you're bisexual.

Little Richard though claimed to be 'omnisexual'. So I dunno...
