Best guitar riffs

[Holla if ya hear me]

Id have to go for"November rain"-G- n- roses
then going back a while-My Sharona by "the Knack"-that is impossible to play.
I know that Hendricks rocked but-
Any others???

 

[Godz Illa]

Best guitar rifts?
Apparently Noel Gallagher fom Oasis and Graham Coxon from Blur hated each other.

Also I believe Slash and Richie Sambora refrain from sending one another Christmas cards.

 

[Red Bear]

Master of Puppets, every riff in that is awesome.

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Van Halen and Sammy Hagar

 

[millersnose]

:lol:

 

[Twizzle]

the original Layla, had a pretty good riff

 

[Quint]

Master of Puppets, every riff in that is awesome.

Way Cool...I agree!
But Crazy Train by Ozzy has it covered by sheer historical value.
( Especially when Zakk adds his own style to it Live!)

Metallica - Creeping Death
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Intro riff to Metallica - Seek and Destroy

I'll just say everything from Metallica's first 2 albums.

 

[j_tig]

let there be rock, thundersrtruck, back in black - pretty much any AC/DC riff

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

The Darkness have some pretty cool riffs

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Metallica - Creeping Death
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Intro riff to Metallica - Seek and Destroy

I'll just say everything from Metallica's first 2 albums.

Surely you'd have to add the third album to the list too? As others have mentioned it's chocka with classic riffs.
A few others:

Slayer - Postmortem
Machine Head - Old
Massacre/Death - Corpsegrinder
Bathory - Blood Fire Death

 

[Bastard Squad]

Probably not the best guitar riff, but the best known would be Smoke On The Water

 

[Bengal]

Probably not the best guitar riff, but the best known would be Smoke On The Water

I agree I still like Comfortably Numb fromPink Floyd also.

Indeed. I just put on MOP for the first time in a long time, and it deserves to be there. Still my 3rd favourite Metallica album though, but the first 4 were all supperb.

 

[Muffdaddy]

Cult of Personality - Living Colour
Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix

All those riffs had a major effect on my life and the way I play guitar, so IMHO they are by the best guitar riffs ever.

 

[andrew flap]

mine is whole lotta love by Zep.

creeping death by Metallica gets an honourable mention.

keep yourself alive(intro) by Queen is another
