Not the easiest thing to think of, but what are the riffs that really just blow your mind?
Without giving it too much thought:
Slayer - Raining Blood
Slayer - Black Magic
Judas Priest - Breaking the Law
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Black Sabbath - NIB
Nile - Lashed to the Slave Stick
In Flames - Behind Space
Megadeth - Holy wars
Opeth - Black Rose Immortal (2:18 in. Its killer) |

His deep Purple shit definetly Highway Star. 80's?? Shit man- Metallica- The Thing That Should Not Be fucking owns, and Helloween's Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part I and II are full of power metal riffs that are still being ripped off today. Here are some of the best of the rest....

Entombed- Crawl (heaviest shit EVER!!!)
The Lord Wierd Slough Feg- Sky Chariots
Iron Maiden- The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner
Maiden Again- The Clairvoyant
Maiden Again!- Phantom Of The Opera
Metalium- Eye Of The Storm
Iced Earth- The Whole Of "Something Wicked Comes" album
Helloween- Push
Kreator- Blind Faith (fuck add the whole of Terrible Certainty)
Kreator- Dying Race Apocalypse
Children Of Bodom- Bodom After Midnight
Stratovarious- A Million Light Years Away
Darkthrone- Triumphant Gleam
Paradise Lost- Hallowed Land
Gamma Ray- The Winged Horse
Angra- Never Understand
Bruce Dickinson- The Dark Side Of Aquarius
Shaman- Over Your Head
Manowar- Wheels Of Fire
Manowar- Hail To England
Manowar (again??)- Gloves Of Metal

Though their later material doesn't do much at all for me, I find Anarazel's first EP to hold some of the greatest riffs ever. FOREVER NIGHT! |
