Best riff ever of all time

[Murmel]

I have always loved this riff. It's a great headbanging riff
It starts at 1:05


And it was this song that made me want to get a seven, because fast tremolopicking on the low B sounds orgasmic to me.

Oh, this thread has been a little deprived of Devy

[Bobo]

Well this is a loaded question, but I'll play.



I'm going to say the distorted riffs that start TGE, especially how it kicks in at 2:10.... I reckon it's also about how the riffs progress through the song and fit in with each other.

Ok, I have to point this out, even though nobody will find it as funny as I did unless they have a good imagination... but I was listening to this song while Dancing With The Stars was on TV, and this couple was doing some sort of cha cha or swing type dance and I swear that it was perfectly synced up to the song. Fucking hilarious

I demand you produce a video of this occurrence. That would be hilarious, hahaha.

these are the first 2 that come to mind:

My personal fave is Behemoth's Conquer All intro/main riff:



When Nergal starts growling, it makes me want to break stuff

 

[stranger]

Not sure about "ever" or "of all time", but I've been really digging on this lately:





Please forgive the usual You-Tube-Tone-Suck. Listen to this album (The Red Album) on a nice stereo and enjoy.

Wow, just checked that out. Great taste!

Rage Against The Machine's first album, from start to finish.

Though my absolute favorite riff is probably the riff right after the solo in Freedom, right after Zack yells "Drop that!!!"

(at 2:35)

 

[brainchild]

from 38 - 56 secs

 

[Cadavuh]

/thread

 

[synapsis78]

riffs leading up to and including the solo for soilwork's "grand failure anthem"...so epic and awesome

 

[Kr1zalid]

Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames
The intro, bridges has nice riffs... And take note of the "game style riffs" they used

 

[liquidcow]

52 seconds into this, and the outro riff:



The intro/main riff for this:



Intro riff of this (and most of the song basically):



Intro riff:



Intro riff again:



Pretty much all of this but particularly the outro and the bit at 2:42:



For epic doom-ness, the riff at the end of 'Origin' by Neurosis.

And finally, the outro riff for this:

 

[Warchest1]

For me, as of about a week now, it's Awaken The Stone King by Keith Merrow. Fuckin unreal riffing in that song.. And for a long time now it's be 42147 by Nevermore. <3
