Kiss has an instant classic guitar riff. When it comes on everyone knows exactly what song it is. __________________________________________________

In addition to the songs you mentioned I like the riffs in Endorphin Machine and Electric Chair. "The first time I saw the cover of Dirty Mind in the early 80s I thought, 'Is this some drag queen ripping on Freddie Prinze?'" - Some guy on The Gear Page | |

Purple Rain has possibly the greatest riff of all time in rock+soul music. It's an absolute gift from God.
Whereas a song like Back in Black has a great hook, Purple Rain reaches down to the core of your emotional senses. "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |

Yeah Purple Rain is simply phenominal. Seeing him perform it on Rave Unto the Joy 2000 was pretty awesome also.
The guy is one hell of a guitarist www.nextpowergeneration.com PS3's own NPG! | |

Rebirth Of The Flesh. Just heard it for the first time last week and my first thought was 'that's a great riff'. | |

I dig "i like it there". That opening riff sounds like the amp is waiting to explode. "I'm Yours" is great too. | |

Not the greatest song he's ever written, but the riff from Wall of Berlin certainly sticks in my head all the time!

Definitly:
- "Purple Rain" (simple chords actually, but nonethless classic!) - "When You Were Mine" (whenever l hear that guitr riff, l start tapping my feet  )
- I Hate U (same for the beginning) How about synths riffs? - "Controversy" - "1999" - "Little Red Corvette" (love those synth slow strings) Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves. | |

While both are marvellous, wonderful songs, there is no "guitar riff" in any of them. |

I like all of the guitar playing. What is the definition of a riff? "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
riff is a lick that is characteristic and in many cases it carries the song
Black Knight by Deep Purple is riff you know that melody or better yet the most popular rock riff Rolling Stones-satisfaction | |

No one said anything about the funky-ass riff on "Dead On It" I mean the Hohner simply at it's best! | |
