The riff from Full Steam Space Machine by Royal Republic

any of the riffs from When the Wild Wind blows by Iron Maiden (most of them are near the middle/end of the song)

that's it for now.

[DoctaSax]

Just about anything from AC/DC, I should think!

 

[Dmouse52]

have to say "whiskey in a jar" by thin lizzy. No idea why really but it does it for me. It's seems to be pretty simple but somehow epic. There's so many really great ones but the opening guitar always pricks my ears up

[Pkatt]

In addition to agreeing with AC/DC, I'd like to add stuff by Prince and Dweezil Zappa to that.

 

Also,  "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits.   I use that song every time I sound check a new system.

[Strelky]

Every single Jimi Hendrix song, every one, no idea why i didn't put this earlier

[Kind9]

Pantera does have a lot of catchy riffs..

Do not forget Dweezil's father. 

 

I am an old-timer; there are too many great guitar riffs to mention, but Keef is at the top of my list. Rolling Stone's songs might seem simple and easy to play, but I have met next to nobody who can match Keef's gangly up-stroke rhythms.

 

Paul Martin from The Blushing Brides could do it, Desmond Leahy (currently working with Classic Albums Live) could do it - even though he was more Mick Taylor-ish than Keith-ish. CC Cristi can pull off a fine Keef (but he does an even better Ron Wood...). And myself. I played in a Rolling Stones cover band called The Midnight Ramblers for about twenty years. They moved on to form Classic Albums Live and I had no interest in sitting down and learning albums note for note.

 

99% of the guitar players who play Rolling Stones music miss the point. I think Keith himself misses the point now, but he is an old man and a legend, so he can be forgiven. Maybe... Maybe he should start taking heroin again.

 

I can't pick a riff. Too many good ones. I am SO self-indulgent today that I am actually making myself sick.

Beginning of Slayer's "Raining Blood" from Reign in Blood.

when my girl is strutting down the road in all her smokin hot glory, i like to think a suitable tune would be " super massive black hole " by muse.

Under the special BB code menu (the third icon from the left, it looks kinda like a green box) select the option that says media. or you could just type media tags around the URL.

Man I can't believe no one has mentioned "Crossroads" by Eric Clapton or "Life in the Fast Lane" by the Eagles. "Green River" or "Fortunate Son" by CCR.

[Guest]

I find the lack of cowbell in this thread disturbing. Must be rectified.

 

 

 

 

Another good riff in the chorus.
