Best riff ever of all time

[Hosenbugler]

You're all wrong. Smoke On The Water is the greatest riff ever of all time.

 

[guitareben]

ok i have a few best riffs ever XD



Many of my best riffs EVER are in this song, the first 3 and a half mins is just filled with epicness. (specifically 1 min 15 secs bit )

I would post more btbam riffs but ya know, we need some variation



The riff about 30 secs into it. Awesome!



Andy mckee is amazing



The riff at 1:24

Ok i know this was best riff (not plural) but ya know, there are many different genres and i have many different best riffs .

 

[Hollowway]

Hands down my favorite riff of all time. Not the kind of music I play now, but I still absolutely love it.

 

[bigswifty]

This intro riff is just amazing.. as is mostly every SikTh riff ever written
There are so many amazing riffs out there though, how can you pick just one

This is all just really intense.



That percussive sound coming from the guitars in the intro, then the tapping rhythm is awesome.

Also, no youtube link, but the new Red Seas Fire tune "The Recovery"'s riff at :34 is really awesome, such clarity and beat in these chords. Great fun to play!

Also, this song is just memorable riffs galore, but the riff starting at 2:42 is just something I'll never forget, it's so punchy!



Riff doesn't start until after, but start listening at 5:24, the jazz part builds up back into the br00talz but the the jazz chords are used again, great song structure this

Sorry, but that was fucking gay

That man is an idiot.

Neg rep me all you want, but that was retarded.

I feel stupider just from watching it.

Another one of my personal favorites.

Fuck yes!

I truly think I'm the biggest After the Burial homer on this board, maybe in the world. Christ alive I love that band. I was actually coming into this thread to post a riff from one of their songs as well.


Starting at 2:25


I'm sure you guys know which riff it is. All of them are fucking heavy as shit, but at 3:35 is when I bash people's skulls into the ground.


1:08- I particularly love the bass line. Definitely one of my favorite Death songs.

you're lucky I agree slightly, but the riffs were intense.

I prefer the spirit crusher chorus riff. It is EPIC in musical form.

It didn't move me at all.

If anyone calls that metal I will fly to wherever you live and cunt punt you.

If you don't have a cunt, I'll arrange one for you

Let us not get in to a 'metal/not-metal' debate...since this thread isn't about Metal riffs, It's about riffs in general...

Thank you, sire.

I also nominate 'Burnin' For You' by Blue Oyster Cult.
