Leprosy has a few good opening riffs but this one takes the cake by far.

Riffs, hooks and solos, Uli Roth is tearing it up in the intro.

Obviously, there's "Black Sabbath", but this one is my second favorite.

I mean really, any of CF's opening riffs could be posted.

You wanna talk about Crowbar here's the catchiest sludge metal song ever.
