Crimson
06.08.08
i like the one that goes DUNDUNDOODOO!
BallsToTheWall
06.08.08
It needs a lot more Amon Amarth and At The Gates bro but great call on 20.
willfellmarsy
06.08.08
i thought i was the only one who noticed that in 27...good call
Amputee
06.08.08
loads of good riffs but 9 is the best!
razedtotheground
06.08.08
Pretty sweet list.
slep

SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER
Poet
06.08.08
Stricken may just have the greatest rock-radio riff in history.
Burn2Burn
06.08.08
Fuck dude, great list. I totally agree with basically everything. Not a big fan of Power Trip, however.
Zoo
06.08.08
Decent list but this is seriously lacking The Absence.
Chewie
06.08.08
Deftones don't really have great riffs.
TheDistantFuture
06.08.08
LISTEN TO ELITE!
SCREAM!
06.09.08
the intro to 9 is indeed amazing.
Many other good ones too
renegadestrings
06.09.08
great call on 11
when i got that CD, the opening to redefine blew my mind, "this is incubus?"
TheStarclassicTreatment
06.09.08
Machine Head- Halo has this really cool high pitched riff in it which is amazing.
The Invisible Man by Helloween and Ain't Talking Bout Love by Van Halen rule too.
TheGreatD17
06.09.08
I still think Blackwater Park has the best Opeth riff, but good list nonetheless
Shadowskos
06.09.08
yes to 1 & 9
Bfhurricane
06.09.08
Stockholm Syndrome's and Never Enough's intros dont sound that similar. Theyre not even that good.
LegalDuck
06.19.08
major respect for number 23
Ironpriest
06.21.08
SMOKE ON THE WATER!
TheHamburgerman
11.29.08
Needs some thrash =P
But a list like this can't be taken seriously without the intro riff of Body Parts (Sodom). It's the most brutal riff ever.
