Cool and unique riffs/licks
 

Sometimes you hear songs that seem boring, and then, out of nowhere comes a riff or lick so cool that it finds it's way straight into your heart and just stays there. Has that ever happened to you? Share it!

At about 1:14...


Please tell me if there's alredy a thread for this, I might have overlooked some of the search results.

Down-Bury me in smoke 4:00 to teh end of the song the end of time ..thats the most classic riff ever u can loop that riff for like 14 mins and it would still be epic and thats what they pretty much do in this song LOL



DOWN - BURY ME IN SMOKE - YouTube

:laughing: I feel old just mentioning Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple. It has to be one of the all time rock/guitar riffs.

This is better though:


Notice the similarity? :)

I could listen to this song every day for the rest of my life, especially this performance:

8:06 til the end of the song. It's been stuck in my head for weeks. Fantastic.

That's the hell of a riff! Amazing. :clap:

That was epic. I'm interested to hear more from this group. Please post more.

Pearl Jam - Black (from ~min 4 till the end)

thanks for sharing,its so cool

Starting at 1:33:

Chris Squire
 

The accenting saxophone and keys are nice.

I hope you're not sick of all my Queen talk by now. There's more to come.

0:55

That riff just always gets stuck in my head.

Even though the rest song is boring (no chorus?), the opening riff is great, yet simple. I love it.

Starting at 3:05. What a groove man.


Billy Cobham - Stratus - YouTube

At 0:58. It feels like you're being thrown around in the middle of a storm

Not sure if any of y'all have heard of Vildhjarta or Northlane but they have some of the most unique riffs and rhythmic patterns I've ever heard.

Every single riff from 2:20 onwards. Not bad for nearly 25 years old.

2:42 onwards. Outside of Dave Lombardo, probably the finest example of drumming and riffs in the extreme Metal genre.

Opening of this song is pretty awesome.




Although I guess it's not Rock & Metal? :o:

This song was brilliant when I first heard it, still awesome!

The Hives are pretty good. They're bringing raw rock 'n' roll back into the music world, and they're doing their job well.



I don't care if everyone on this forum has heard it already, the main riff is how a rock riff should sound.

I feel like The Hives are very Under rated, they're absolutely brilliant live and their songs are a breathe of catchy fresh air compared to many things being played around at the moment

I've always really liked the opening riff in this song

Go to 1:20

I grabbed my bass the other night and played along with this. I cannot, for the life of me, get this riff outa my head now:


Joe Satriani - Light Years Away - YouTube
