My absolute favorite would have to be from:

Don't Look Back - Boston <--sends shivers down my spine every time.

Some other awesome ones I love:

Funky Monks - RHCP
Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Dismiss the Cynics - In Flames
Scars - X Japan

So what are head-fi's favorite guitar riffs? I'm always looking for more spine chillers

 

[milkweg]

Panic In Detroit - Bowie

 

[andyalfa]

Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King

 

[cwell2112]

Rush - Limelight. Very few moments in music are more awesome to me than the way YYZ transitions into the opening riff of Limelight...except maybe seeing Rush open with Limelight on the Snakes & Arrows tour.

Nils Lofgren - "Keith Don't Go"
Nils Lofgren - "Some Must Dream" (2nd. half)

 

[jernmo]

Maybe not the greatest, but one that always gets me is Luna - Malibu Love Nest (from the Rendezvous album). I love how it builds towards the end. I just wish it kept going for a few more minutes.

 

[Lornecherry]

Boston: Hitch'in a ride ...the whole album is a classic of rock guitar.

But my favorite has to be the end of the Eagle's reunion " hell Freezes Over" "Hotel California" track.

Oh yeah! Might I add "No Mercy", especially the old NDR Live version where he plays electric guitar is stunning.

I also think there are worth nice:
Lynyrd Skynard - Sweet home Alabama and Simple Man
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child
Cream - Strange Brew
The Who - Trick of the Light and Behind Blue Eyes
The Meters - Cissy Strut
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

 

[acidbasement]

There is only one for me.

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

So good.

 

[Meliboeus]

Black Sabbath - N.I.B.
Rush - 2112
Ozzy Osbourne - Mr.Crowley

then add something random from

Artillery - By inheritance
Exodus - Bonded by blood

any song from the said albums might be in the top five IMO.

I'm having a hard time deciding which Keith Richards riff is my favorite, but right now I'd have to say the opening to "Tumbling Dice".

 

[Brighten]

Bleeding Mascara by Atreyu... that song got me into music.

 

[japc]

Slayer - Angel of Death

 

[kingkevo25]

Panama - Van Halen
Black Sabbath - Crazy Train

 

[milkweg]

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep
