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.

most many musicians In folk magic and mythology, crossroads may represent a location "between the worlds" and, as such, a site where supernatural spirits can be contacted and paranormal events can take place and may you should read Robert Johnson story about how he sold his soul to master of the world aka SATAN to be greatest guitarist in history

btw no satan no fun and youre one of us the citizen of hell

Melodic yet still aggressive. Just how I love it.

A death metal classic. Just brutal guitar, ready to make me windmill anywhere, anytime.

I prefer the original version of Crossroads "Crossroad Blues", by Robert Johnson, recorded in 1936.

Here's a nice one:

You'll have to go to youtube to see it though.

Some really good ones.

Dethklok, Thunderhorse

Dethklok, Murmaider

Dark Fortress, Baphomet

Megadeth, Holy Wars... The Punishment Due

Wintersun, Winter Madness

Wintersun, Battle Against Time

Ensiferum, Into Battle

Children of Bodom, Bodom After Midnight

Megadeth, Bad Omen

Okay, more than "some", though the thread is called "Favorite Guitar Riffs".

That last one sounded as if Death and Wintersun had a child.

And this old blues band:

I really can't decide on their best riff, as long it's about their older stuff...

BogBrush82 · September 23, 2013

Could have put whole Star One album but three are my favorites .

GrimReaperCalls · September 25, 2013

I really like the intro+riff to Raining Blood by Slayer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKILvAggpYw

And the solo in Blinded by Fear by At the Gates is right out marvelous! It's short, but oh so sweet . 2:11 in this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dFQ5OxV72M

But let's face it, there are so many insanely good riffs out there I would probably find some new favourites if I searched around a bit .

*panthercom* · September 26, 2013

Pretty much anything played by Dave Gregory or Andy Partridge

of XTC... Towers of London, Roads Girdle the Globe etc. Their

album 'Drums and Wires' still sounds fresh even after the 30+ years

since I first heard it.

Buck Dharma does some tasty riffing too; I love BOC's 'Secret Treaties'

album. (R.I.P. Allen Lanier )

People should use spoiler tags when showing more than 2 videos, otherwise this thread turns into "Hardcore&Metal appreciation" thread where no one can understand shit, with so many videos displayed. Also the fact that pages take a while to load won't help.

Anyway, more of my favorites:

Really addictive riffs for me. A great song.
