Favorite Riff of ALL time?

[Racerxrated]

One of my favorites to hear and play is from Dio's Caught In The Middle

And this!! 'Don't Talk to Strangers' is another one I tend to play .....lots of great tunes in this thread!

Rock Candy is the first thing to come to mind but there are soooo many.

 

[gibson5413]

Probably not heavy enough for the crowd here at Rig-Talk but the main riff is one of my all time favorites (including 2 or 3 others). I can think of about 10 Rush riffs that are there as well.

Another solid tune on a great album!

 

[Salos]

Tough question.

Maybe Holy Wars, or the end of In My Darkest Hour.

Needle and the Spoon.... Down to Mexico... Kill the King.... Fear of the Dark... yeah I can't play this game.

 

[gibson08]

Def hard to pick, but I would 2nd (or 3rd??) Rock Candy on intro riffs, Heavy Metal (imagine that ) and maybe April Wine Roller, topped of with the MCMM and Stranglehold !! just for classic rock entries of course.

 

[kasperjensen]

The first one that springs to mind is the hard riff in Americana by The Offspring.

 

[Inca Roads]

My Favorite Riff Ever!!!

 

[Deanmachine]

Zeke Chiva Knievel..one bad ass tune!

 

[chameleon2112]

Supernaut by Sabbath. Another honorable mention to Hall of the Mountain King.

 

[Corrundum1]

So many...Symptoms of the Universe, Among the Living, March of the S.O.D., Unsung

 

[sytharnia1560]

always loved "life in the fast lane" and sabbaths "over and over" (although thats probably more a melody than a riff)

 

[Oblivion DC]

always loved "life in the fast lane" and sabbaths "over and over" (although thats probably more a melody than a riff)

Whoa - I can't believe I forgot about Life in the Fast Lane!! That's a great riff. And while we're on Joe Walsh let me bring up Funk #49 as another badass riff song.

 

[skoora]

AC/DC Jailbreak...sometimes Riff Raff.

..coming off the bench

Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knockin'

 

[Badronald]

The 1st 1:54 of this tune, has, in my opinion, some of the best heavy riffs of all time.

[mdc1mdc11]

Jimmy Page, seriously. Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Immigrant Song...the rover, list is pretty f'ing long.

 

[rokket2005]

Tough call to make, all the riffs in this song have been up there for me for over 10 years though

My Favorite Riff Ever!!!

Now that's cool!

 

[SBlue]

I could probably have a 1000 favorite guitar riffs of all time and I would still leave a few out of the list! hehe...
But the one that still gives me the chill down the spine like when I've heard it from the first time is this one!
