Emyay
02.18.14 | list needs some opeth. also mother puncher riffs way harder than crusher destroyer, that song actually sucks |
renegadestrings
02.18.14 | Wake Up Dead - Megadeth
the riff is just 3:41 of riffs |
SharkTooth
02.18.14 | 6
"IM A LOADIN, IM A LOADIN,
UP MAH WAR MACHINE!!!" |
InbredJed
02.18.14 | @ Emyay: yes MP riffs hard, but Crusher/Desteoyer packs all the riffage of a country fair into a crispy 2 min package.
|
InbredJed
02.18.14 | @ Sitar: EVH brings the shred, but not the riffs. The closest he comes to a memorable riff is Panama or Humans Being. |
SitarHero
02.18.14 | Woahhhh, Jed! Whatabout Hot For Teacher, Running with the Devil, Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love etc. EVH brings the riff big time. |
DarkRecollections
02.18.14 | Painkiller!! |
InbredJed
02.18.14 | Ok sure, them's riffs, but do they stack up against Sweet Leaf, A Dangerous Meeting or Thumb?
This is what I find so interesting about this topic, everyone has a slightly different idea in mind when they say "riff". |
Emyay
02.18.14 | unchained opening riff riffs hard |
InbredJed
02.18.14 | To my ear, Eddie is a lead player who constructed they rhythmic parts of his songs to facilitate vocal harmony, and later on in the song, a solo.
What makes an Iommi riff different is that it if you take away the bass drums and vox, it's still got all the heavyness, swagger and balls. To my ear, Hot For Teacher or Runnin WTD, while great melodies, are not riffs in the same sense.
I dunno, maybe I just have a preference for heavier stuff. Riffs don't NEED to be power chords right? |
Emyay
02.18.14 | they definitely dont' have to be power chords. for instance rational gaze riffs super hard and those aren't power chords |
MusicTalent
02.18.14 | Amazing list |

BigHans
02.26.14 | neither one riffed as hard as TAD |

InbredJed
03.01.14 | true, but the crazy thing is that it doesn't riff even 1/2 as much as Leviathan |
BigHans
06.26.15 | The riff in A Dangerous Meeting is probably the best riff ever. |
