What's your favorite riff/riffs?

well i couldnt find a favorite riff of all time thread, so i thought id start one!

these come to mind for me:
electric funeral by black sabbath
DNR by testament
orion by metallica

go for it!

...Each guitarist has an evil fat 40 year old blueswankler trying to get out, If you give in to temptation you'll be sitting next to a fender playing john lee hooker while trying to keep your combover in place.

‘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!!
