There are SO many good riffs, too many to choose...so I'll make this easy.

There are about 8,000,0000 favorite riffs, but right now my favorite riff is:

Scar Symmetry - Hybrid Cult

Nightcrawler · 03-12-2008, 03:25 AM

Blood and Thunder - Mastodon

Pantera-A new level. So metal and simple it hurts....

Vision · 03-12-2008, 07:24 AM

Damage Inc - Metallica. The verse part still sticks with me.

Need To by KoRn

‘winds of creation’ by decapitated. most it, really, but the beginning is something i’d have killed to have written.

‘dawn of the angry’ by morbid angel. you can’t beat that main riff, especially when it kicks back in.

‘oh my fucking god’ by SYL. the riff with the pinched harmonic in it later on in the song.

‘portal’ by origin. sweep picking epicage FTW.

mostly anything by akercocke

‘secrets of the black arts’ by dark funeral. one of my favourite BM riffs.

‘rain’ & ‘jupiterean vibe’ by samael. amazing bits of chuggery.

Hmmm... it´s a hard thread, because I love so many riffs, but I´ll post some riffs that I remember:

- Dream Theater - Lie (first seven-string riff I actually remember listening to, and it rocks),
- The Glass Prison´s first riffs

- Korn - Blind (always a classic), Did My Time,

- Metallica - Master of Puppets, The Thing that Should not Be,

- Pantera - This Love, New Level, Drag the Waters, Five Minutes Alone, I`m Broken, Becoming (jesus, almost all of their songs... Dime was incredible)

- Meshuggah - Closed Eye Visuals, New Millenium Cyanide Christ

- Opeth - The Whole "Deliverance" song

- Scar Symmetry - Mind Machinery

- In Flames - Pinball Map

- Rush - Stick it Out

- Alice in Chains - Dem That River, Would, We Die Young, Them Bones

- Soundgarden - 4th of July, Rusty Cage, Spoonman

- Black Sabbath - ALL OF THEM!

There´s so much stuff I like, but these are some good examples!!
