Great Guitair Riffs...

[fineintent]

I can't  believe the topic has gone so long without someone mentioning Pantera - Cemetery Gates. The riff after the melocid intro is badass, and just rules.

My favourite Pantera riff is in I'm Broken, the main riff obviously.

I really like the bridge riff in My Last Serenade by KSE, The Joker's main bassline, the opening part of Today by the Smashing Pumpkins and, my guilty pleasure, Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja by lostprophets. So simple, but so catchy and gooood.

Actually, yeah, I really like those two riffs as well, just wouldn't have thought about them.

And the lotprophets riff for that song is pretty effective.

Born For Burning - Satyricon

[Farmer Reil]

I was too ashamed to admit it, but since FI already has; Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja has a great riff, that was once my ringtone for ages

Now for the awesome riffs:

Every Dragonforce song. How can you argue with Herman Li? (Although most of the riffs are Sam's. Shhh >.<)

Nightwish have a LOT of blinding riff's too, but my favourite would probably be Passion and the Opera. Just so simble and badass. Honourable Mentions go to Astral Romance and The Carpenter. Wish I Had An Angel is kinda cool too, in moderation. Techno with guitars...hmmm.

Metallica have loads, obviously. I'm crap with song names until I've heard them a load of times though, so I'll be buggered if I can remember which ones I like.

Can't really think of any others...although I'm sure Helloween and Sonata Arctica have a few. Just can't think at the moment.

Oooh, I forgot possibly the best nomination for "Most Likely To Be A Wrestling Theme": Soul of a Vagabond by Stratovarius.

I'd mark for anyone using that, even if they were heels ¬_¬ It would rock for a monster type guy, like Batista.

[David Hassellhoff]

The MC5-Kick Out the Jams

Black Sabbath-Iron Man, War Pigs

Pink Floyd-Hey You(The Bridge part)

Led Zeppelin-Babe Im Gonna Leave You(Bridge)

[Guest Morecello]

Jimmy Hendrix- Vodo Child

I got hooked on the guithtar rift and then WCW comes along and uses it for hogan. I knew the riff sounded famillair the first time they used, but I couldn't put my finger on who it was and then later that night I was listening to Hendrix and boom....Vodo Child.

[The Third Dukes]

I agree with a lot of the ones said, so I'm just going to throw new ones out there.

Metallica - Turn the Page

Blind Melon - No Rain (instantly recognizable)

Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

Steppenwolfe - Born to be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride

And the greatest guitar riff of ALL TIME, and one that criminally hasn't been mentioned before now...

Rolling Stones - I Can't Get No Satisfaction

Air guitar on THAT.
