Ok lets fire this one up, lets get some of our favourite riffs out there, the song can be good or shite but if it has a deadly riff somewhere let us know. No "Sweet Child Child o' Mine" type stuff, only  meat and veg riffs...

I'll fire this one up as its been in my head all morning (and has been since it was first released), the first 30 seconds are savage...

 

That is a belter. I now have have Lee Dorrian bellowing "Sheeee riiiiiides to the sab-buuuuuuth!" in my head.


And speaking of Sabbath...


Down's Eyes of The South



Beauty 😎😎😎



You have the main riff which is deadly and then they lash that beast of a riff on the end.


Savage stuff so far lads!!  :abbath:


The first few that come to mind are these;

The riff at 2.52 in Broken Valley by Life Of Agony

The riff at 2.41 in Diktat by Napalm Death

This entire song. The Great Cull by Killing Joke

And finally the sideways kind of riff in Eye Of The Beholder by Metallica at 1.50

The riff kicks in around 0:49 for those with no patience.



The opening riff is lethal.
