Best guitar riff ever

[Guest Kether]

I'd say it's a toss up between Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar or The Smiths - This Charming Man.

 

Whiskey in the Jar is simply elegant but oh so effective and catchy whereas this Charming Man is nothing other than pure genius.

I wonder what the best air guitar riff ever is?

[dissolved girl]

The Passenger by Iggy Pop is a good contender

[LTM]

The guiter riff in that track called Baker Street fuck knows who it's by. Actually I can't remember if it's a guiter riff or sax riff.

Its Sax!

Not sure about the best Guitar riff, but the best guitar solo has got to be Dave Gilmours solo in Comfortably Numb on the Pulse 1994 Live Video.

 

Pure Class

hmmm not heard that in ages! Joe Satriani is Excellent.

 

Surfing with the Alien (i think thats what its called) is Quality.

[LiquidEyes]

Gotta be one of Rage Against The Machine's! Take your pick!

[Phil rr]

some of the most memorable drumming i've heard is bon jovi - dry county.

 

bryan adams - dont drop that bomb on me starts of with a very nice (but short)solo.

i'm a big fan of the raunchy simplicity of the beastie boys' 'fight for your right...' but my favourite is the opening riff to neil young's 'country home'

 

nice thread idea.
