Greatest Riffs Ever

[Fasana]

Alter Bridge- The End Is Here


love it

 

[somanyquestions]

Lock this shit up if ya thank I ain't fuckin' looked already. I tried, muthafucka. I tried.

What, in yer hurablest opinion, is the greatest guitar riff ever? I don' mean most recognizable or the most groin-grabbingly overplayed. I mean fun, catchy, awesome, whatever gets your head shakin' (or your booty, if ya swing that way). No off-limits.

I'm kinda attracted to Grandaddy's "The Crystal Lake." Kinda reminRAB me of Radiohead's "Airbag" (both in sound...and the fact that it isn't beaten into the back of yoursskull bytheend of the song).

Have You Forgotten is a great, memorable riff that also has the virtue of being unintrusive.

I like that kid.

Mine would be...

Can Ya Hear Me Knockin'? - Stones

I could say some more but they'd basically be a copycat of Bub's post. So I'll say a bit about Can Ya Hear Me Knockin'... it is said, that after the first solo in this song, that Mick and all the others put down their microphones and instruments and were done with the song, but Keef just kept on playing, and they decided to use it in the song. You can't say that Keef's the best in the world, you just can't, I mean, he's not even lefthanded, but despite that... jesus, the bum's got some skill.

 

[Blu Vylett]

The riff in You Really Got Me by The Kinks is really good.

 

[sleepydad]

It's astounding how many awesome things you find in weird places. A psych pop riff that reminRAB me of Sabbath? Hell yes at 0:35.
