Greatest guitar riffs


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

My top 10 in no particular order....

Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit, this riff pretty much ended hair metal...

Ozzy Osbourne: Crazy Train

Metallica: Take your pick, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, The U nforgiven, Sanitarium etc etc...

Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name Of

Jimi Hendrix: Again take your pick...Voodoo Child, All Along The Watchtower, Hey Joe, Purple Haze....

Guns N' Roses: Sweet Child of Mine

Lynyrd Skynyrd: Freebird

Led Zeppelin: Stairway To Heaven

Blue Oyster Cult: Dont Fear The Reaper

The Eagles: Hotel California

I could go way past 10 but I'm also way too lazy. I think this list is good but definitely not what I would consider the BEST....

bleh, I can't believe I did that. I've always associated it with Hendrix for some reason ever since I heard it. Perhaps because the riff is so much like his guitar style. Not even a huge fan of the song the riff is just an all time classic.....

Stop insulting Hendrix by comparing a four chord riff to his style...

Maybe you meant the way the guitar sounded, but Smoke on the Water is highly overrated and not technical... at all...

Also, I didn't see any SRV on that list, which is a travesty to anyone who knows anything about guitar riffs... especially when the White Stripes made the list...

Sorry, you're right I meant sound not style. And yes I can agree having no SRV in the top 50 with The White Stripes there is a JOKE....

I love Stevie to death and play a lot like him but he wasn't that creative as far as song writing. He never reallly came up with any great riffs, he just played the blues like he was breaking out of jail

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
