mrcat1990 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hugely underrated but Tom Morrelo's riff on Rage's cover of "Maggies Farm" is an absolute belter. When it gets slowed down near the end.. Oooft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLIEA Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Music is based on opinion, you can't be wrong. This is the correct answer. As one of the old blues guys said " never criticise another mans music " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Don't bass guitar riffs count for this? If they did my vote would go to Jack Bruce for Sunshine of your Love. Eta... Just noticed Sunshine of Your Love is listed in that Radio 2 selection. Presumably it doesn't matter that the riff was played on a bass, rather than a lead guitar. .

Mr. Brightside Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Billy Squier - Lonely is the Night should be on the list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bee thousand Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Some odd choices in that list - Jet's "shop's own brand" version of Lust for Life? No Stooges or Ramones? Purple Haze instead of Voodoo Chile? No 'Have Love Will Travel'? No '21st Century Schizoid Man'? Paranoid instead of Iron Man or War Pigs? Enter Sandman instead of Seek And Destroy or Master Of Puppets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Everyone knows the Enter Sandman riff. I doubt as many people know Seek and Destroy and Master of Puppets though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Co.Down Hibee Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 to be fair this is radio 2 and like always they played it safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestersKTID Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 The Trooper by Iron Maiden should be on it or possibly 2 Minutes to Midnight. Most Iron Maiden songs have great riffs but 2 minutes has about 4 or 5 songs almost identical to it by other artists. Maybe that's testament to how good a riff it is.

PrestersKTID Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 For me though, Back in black and Riff Raff by AC/DC. The first is almost universally recognizable as soon as it starts and the other is my personal favourite. (even has Riff in the title) ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee thousand Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Everyone knows the Enter Sandman riff. I doubt as many people know Seek and Destroy and Master of Puppets though True - some people would even say these guys knew it before Metallica did The one band/one riff rule is a bit crap, no? - especially where Black Sabbath and Zeppelin are concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first is almost universally recognizable as soon as it starts and the other is my personal favourite. (even has Riff in the title) ha Both great riffs, also love the riff in Downpayment Blues ,Giving the Dog a Bone and of course Whole Lotta Rosie. Also did anyone see the programme on BBC4 on Sunday night about famous riffs...pretty good ,think it must be on iplayer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
