It's definitely very, very close to a very popular eighties opening riff: My brother has been trying to figure it out for 6 weeks and introduced me to his version of "torture by obsession" by asking for my help a few days ago. I originally though it may have been an Uncanny XMen riff, I don't know why, but I had the feeling it was an Aussie bad.
it can be a few things

It sounds like a cross between "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits and Grateful Dead's "Touch of Grey"




It also sounds a little like the solo in this (fast forward to 3:00)
