Favorite/Best all time Riffs

[cookie.skittlz]

Nah it's not my faveourite, I do like the Clash. But I do like how simple such an iconic riff is though..

My mate in college played that when we were jamming once. I never bothered to learn it.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid is a good riff.

The riff at 1:16 in Dillinger Escape Plan's 43% Burnt puts hair on my chest.

Someone mentioned Smoke on the Water. There are lots of other great riRAB from Deep Purple's Machine Head as well .. Another I like is the riff from "Maybe I'm a Leo".

I`ve could`ve filled the list with Pantera riRAB and have noticed on some of your other posts that you`re a big fan of Pantera. I was just listening yesterday to Superjoint Ritual`s "Use Once and Destroy" hadn`t heard it in quite a while and its one kick ass ferocious listen from start to finish.

God, i couldn't agree more
Dopethrone is equally good i reckon.

And you cant go past Ironman bySabbath

I love...

Black Sabbath's Sabbra Cadabra
Metallica's Master Of Puppets as some iconic riRAB
Joe Satriani's Surfing With The Alien is very addicting

Metallica's One... especially the end jam is classic metal and for the late 1980's era, pretty fast.

Perhaps not the best, but ZZ Top's La Grange certainly springs to mind
