Your Top 5 Favorite Riffs Of All Time - Page 2

AirJordanStaal · 12-18-2011, 08:34 PM

These aren't really in any order.

I tried to limit myself to just one nevermore song here, probably could've picked just about any of them and have been happy with the choice.

Xaios · 12-18-2011, 08:35 PM

#5: Dark Tranquillity - Dry Run

#4: Agalloch - Not Unlike The Waves

#3: Disillusion - Alone I Stand In Fires

#2: In Flames - Colony

And my very favorite riff:

#1: Immortal - Antarctica

The whole song is just chocked full of awesome, heavy yet melodic riffs. Just awesome.

1:10 ish
That is all

ridner · 12-19-2011, 07:13 AM

I wouldn't even know where to begin.....

Prydogga · 12-19-2011, 07:47 AM

I think you all know the one I mean, (2:41)

Context riff, listen to all of it before it hits and the groove works perfectly. (1:10)

Another one that is simply amazing in context. If you listen to this album in one go at a time like I do, when you hit this part, listening at loud volume, it's both intense and relieving, with a good resolve from the craziness of Immerse. (All of it.)

The best outro to my favourite album of all time. Has the best feel, a great closing riff. The way the lead comes in really adds to make it amazing. (4:10)

Just so powerful, the synth really helps it too. (0:00)

GSingleton · 12-19-2011, 12:13 PM

considered cheating? I think not. The WHOLE album

insanely hard to pick 5. Mine are interchangeable.....except colors.

Here is one throwback.

s_k_mullins · 12-19-2011, 12:24 PM

I don't think I could ever pick just 5, but if I did I'm sure they'd include riffs from Jerry Cantrell, Dimebag, and 80's era Hetfield.

ArtDecade · 12-19-2011, 12:44 PM

Top Five
#1 Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
#2 Scorpions - Sails of Charon
#3 Kiss - Detroit Rock City
#4 Vandenberg - Back On My Feet
#5 Joe Satriani - The Extremist

Cyntex · 12-19-2011, 12:52 PM

I like every riff in this song, my fav Death track.

Konfyouzd · 12-19-2011, 12:58 PM

So much Alice in Chains on the first page... *tear*

I love you guys...

That's really all I have to contribute to this thread.

Oh and I love every riff in that In Flams song "Jester's Dance"

Origin · 12-19-2011, 01:02 PM

A whole shitload of Sabbath and hundreds of other riffs (obviously) and I don't wanna list them, so I'll just say my absolute favourite is probably the awesome, jagged simplicity of the At the Gates song 'Suicide Nation,' main riff.

Good call, sir.

Omarfan · 12-19-2011, 02:36 PM

It occurs to me while perusing this thread that I don't really ever listen to anything for "riffs" so to speak, so I don't really have any. But I tried to come up with some cause I'm a whore for list threads.

I love all the riffs in this one, but especially the "time has a way of taking time" section

This one has had a massive influence on my writing on guitar and I will always love it. You get a sense of why I don't have a lot of favorite riffs when you think about how this has influenced me though. It's pretty simplistic.

Love this one. I wish this band would get back together

I've been obsessed with this riff since I was 16.

I love how absolutely crushing this one is.

But while I'm on Sabbath, a more underrated one here. Iommi has some badass solo work in this one too.

And of course I have to rep for my favorite band. The riff at the start of this is just incredible (as is the solo).

CyborgSlunk · 12-19-2011, 02:44 PM

Everything from 4:35 on, especially the last riff.

This intro has such an awesome groove. Also great solo on this one (1:45).

4:50 makes me so moist.

Riff at 0:40 plus tapping at 1:23

DAT OUTRO (1:55)! So beautiful!

Also that one kicks so much ass.

PS: I know those are 6 songs, just rename the thread to "Your favorite riffs"

.

Omarfan · 12-19-2011, 03:15 PM

Also, I can't believe nobody else has mentioned the greatest riff ever.

QueeZeR · 12-19-2011, 04:20 PM

Damn, 5 is a difficult number. There quite some riffs to choose among for the fift and last one, which one will have the honor...?

Konfyouzd · 12-19-2011, 04:29 PM

I also really like the chorus riff in Shame In You by AIC

Slayer89 · 12-19-2011, 05:46 PM

Djent · 12-19-2011, 08:22 PM

The Elephant Riders is a goldmine of awesome riffs.

Louis Cypher · 12-20-2011, 04:40 AM

Top five today really needs to be top 500... too many to list but in no special order and trying to add ones I love that ain't been listed already

Led Zeppelin - Black Dog (Pick a Page Riff really they are all epic!)

Hendrix - Voodoo Child (slight return)

Pantera - Mouth for War (Again one of too many to list from Dime)

White Zombie - Thunder Kiss '65 (Could be any riff from J tho imo)

Korn - Here to Stay

The McThief · 12-23-2011, 02:03 AM

every riff in this song, especially the intro :O amazing

this whole song too :P

I love the choruses, but my favorite part is the lead and that groove at 1:07 or so

Whole song is amazing, but my favorite section starts at about 1:48 or so

Jinogalpa · 12-23-2011, 06:35 AM

no ministry i'm disappointed

Ministry - just one fix
Ministry - n.w.o
VoiVod - the x-stream
VoiVod - les cigares volantes
Clawfinger - the truth
