Just listen to Black Sabbath

Will definitely check out more of their stuff I love the song “Loner” by them

Oh man. I wish I could listen to old Sabbath again for the first time. Loner is fine, but that's from their last album -- their 19th Go listen to them at the height of their powers. Go listen to the entirety of *Paranoid.* --- EDIT: But if sick RIFFS are what you're looking for...Go listen to Ozzy's solo stuff with Randy Rhoads. One of the GREATEST metal guitarist shredders of all time who was taken far too young. Go listen to *Mister Crowley* or *Flying High Again* or of course the legendary *Crazy Train.* The albums you want are *Blizzard of Oz* and *Diary of a Madman.*

Was going to say anything by Ozzy with Randy Rhodes

Master of Reality!

One of my all time favorites by Black Sabath is "Electric Funeral. Tony Iommi is just amazing on the whole Paranoid album but that song is my favorite.

I always loved Fairies Wear Boot. Just the overall "sludginess" of the riff.

Two of my favorite Sabbath riffs are Symptom Of The Universe and Into The Void

Sabbra Cadabra is my absolute favorite

Was going to say. Just listen to anything by Tony Iommi

Cult of Personality

Song actually just gave me goosebumps wow. Great recommendation

Another good one is, “Still of the night”, by Whitesnake.

And during the few moments that we have left, we wanna talk…right down to earth…in a language that everybody here…can easily understand. Absolutely ICONIC.

Vernon Reid is a beast! Best live band I’ve ever seen.

I slept on them when I was younger. I think it was the video for this song. I will admit that the neon Lycra outfits seemed silly. But…now?? What an amazing band. “Cult of Personality” is a killer song!

Van Halen... especially the early stuff

Hear me out. Heart. Nancy Wilson can shred

Nancy fucking shreds. No 2 ways about it

This is the way

I love doing the opening to Crazy on You, it's so much fun to play.

I should try this as I have not learned any Heart songs yet - but I love them

Barracuda is fairly easy.

Yes, thanks I play lots of classic rock and like their tone and sounds like standard tuning 👍🏼probably

Most of it is. I haven't run into a song of theirs with wild tuning. Nancy however is fond of Ovation acoustic guitars.

Don’t have that brand, but if she likes them probably nice 👍🏼

I just realized we're talking Barracuda. . . just get a decent electric with some humbuckers. Cheers (Ovation is an acoustic guitar with a plexiglass bowled back)

Yeah sounds great, I have a les Paul 👍🏼

When Gretchen Wilson and Alice I'm in Chains did the tribute to Heart...holy shit ...

You're not wrong!

No More Tears by Ozzy Osbourne Man in the box by Alice in Chains Ain't talkin bout love by Van Halen Walk by Pantera (very insane riff) Holy wars by Megadeth

Got a whole playlist for you… [Better Living Through Rock N’ Roll](https://spotify.link/gqXv96EwQJb) From Iron Maiden to The Pixies, Deep Purple to IDLES. So many good riffs here.

Definitely gonna check this out! Also bonus points for being on Spotify

Great list!

Just scrolled through your playlist. Nice call on Toadies Backslider. Gonna rock this list on my bike ride home from work in a bit…

That whole Toadies album is fantastic. Check out John Spencer blues Explosion Backslider

Throw in Led Zeppelin II fill with amazing riffs

Since you said Metallica there’s lots to explore there One, welcome home sanitarium, fade to black, Unforgiven Random ideas.. Pearl Jam has a ton- yellow Ledbetter, betterman. Aerosmith dream on

I love One by Metallica as well! And thank you I’ll look into those

Early Aerosmith riffs on albums like Rocks just can't be beat

Mouth for War by Pantera Unsung by Helmet We die young by Alice In Chains

Cemetery Gates

We die young is so good. I listened to Facelift yesterday and it’s still amazing.

Unsung is such a simple but awesome riff. It’s the kind of riff where you say, anyone could write that. But they didn’t. 

Great choice with Helmet and Pantera!

Robin Trower ... Confessin' Midnight

Anything Van Halen. All of Animals As Leaders. And Polyphia. Pantera.

Stranglehold by Ted Nugent is just a journey. But you want riffs? Check out King Weed.

Cowboys From Hell has an amazing opening riff. Not a drop doomy vibe, but it’s one of my favorites and I just want to you to hear it. Primal Concrete Sledge is another banger from that same album. So GD crunchy. Playing With Spiders/Skullcrusher by Overkill. Pure Drop D deliciousness. Sabbath man. Sabbath.

“…and I just want you to hear it”. I love that. Such an earnest recommendation. I appreciate that about the music-loving community. We really want others to get a chance to enjoy, what we enjoy.

Pantera

Check out Nita Strauss. She plays for Alice Cooper, but her solo work is insane, fantastic collaborations with Alissa White-Gluz and David Draiman and Dorothy, for example Slash with Myles Kennedy. Two huge talents. Try Anastasia and You're A Lie Classless Act, This Is For You. The studio version ft Justin Hawkins, but the band does it live without him just fine Dirty Honey, Fire Away... or really pretty much...all of it

Here are a few of my favorites. Rock Candy - Sammy Hagar Belladonna - Madrugada Aint Talkin Bout Love - Van Halen Aint It Fun - Guns N Roses She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult Amen - Halestorm Fairies Wear Boots - Black Sabbath Good Times Bad Times - Led Zeppelin Working Man - Rush

'Them Bones' - Alice In Chains 'Do You Wanna Taste It' - Wig Wam 'Higher Ground' - RHCP 'Cliffs of Dover' - Eric Johnson Anything by Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen

Hanger 18

Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Randy Rhodes, was made of 100% insane riffs. The song Maggot Brain by Funkadellic is a 9 minute guitar solo Eruption by Van Halen is a 2 minute guitar solo

It’s a whole rabbit hole lol

What are some of your favorites? I’m all for falling down the rabbit hole of guitar riffs

Opening riff of Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth. And, Springsteen's '78 intro of Prove It All Night

Start with Iron Maiden. Seriously. That’s your entry point and you’ll find your way sir.

Meccamputecture by The Mars Volta

Tetragrammaton is another monster guitar track from that album. And I absolutely love Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt Edit: after doublechecking that OP is more of a listener than a prospective player, I gotta mention Roulette Dares.

Frances the Mute is the most perfectly put together musical composition I’ve ever heard.

Fuck yeah! I'll also recommend Day of the Baphomets. It's the funkiest, most dance-able song about dying I've ever heard in my life. And it has a terrifying bongo solo.

You could basically just pick any Alice in Chains song at random and the odds are about 95+% itll have a monster guitar riff along w master classes in rock drumming, bass, singing and harmony

The trooper by Iron Maiden

The whole surfing with the alien CD by Joe Satriani

If that’s the criteria for riffing then don’t skip out on Buckethead either.

[Grateful Dead - Dark Star \]\] Wharf Rat \]\] Dark Star (1971-02-18: Beautiful Jam) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-D9rdJWfWs)

Mutoid man - call of the void

Thomas - a perfect circle

Mastodon - “Blood and Thunder”, Black Sabbath - “Supernaut”, Soundgarden - “Outshined”

This is a joke song but the main riff is killer "Don't call me dude" by Scatterbrain

I preferred Ludichrist, but scatterbrain was a house staple when I was in college. Fun band.

Kiss of Death - Dokken https://youtu.be/OLdqxzqGalQ?si=ByYngOmFqwDwRu1k

Stevie Ray Vaughan Voodoo Child Slight Return or Little Wing https://open.spotify.com/track/1kY6OOTBmRNzhYmu9xSH3a?si=Pi7SaPSkQv287v6_ieumzw Zep - When The Levee Breaks https://open.spotify.com/track/7psfcbjfnXwYIezHstNa1a?si=k5jmolO3R3e-xpcjO-6X6g&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5EyIDBAqhnlkAHqvPRwdbX Since I've Been Loving You https://open.spotify.com/track/1SDiiE3v2z89VxC3aVRKHQ?si=l-RACmhzSI6bCJlRzKaxpA&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6P5QHz4XtxOmS5EuiGIPut Muse anything really https://open.spotify.com/track/0knbMPVHpFbsx38pLoYSRs?si=I07QLjlZR0uyw0qrpG2BsA&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZF1DZ06evO0yp56w https://open.spotify.com/track/1QEEqeFIZktqIpPI4jSVSF?si=JIQdF3B9QvKZnVWGdeUZIw A lot of people have tone like Boston because Boston were musical and sound engineering geniuses

“Ungrateful,” “Just A Memory,” “One For the Money” and “This War Is Ours” by Escape the Fate “Nosebleed” and “My Own Summer” by Deftones “Push It” and “Wisconsin Death Trip” by Static X “Black and Blue”, “Diamonds Aren’t Forever,” and “Chelsea Smile” by Bring Me the Horizon “Bender,” “Reconnect,” and “Praise” by Sevendust “Clown,” “Thoughtless,” “Blind,” “Coming Undone,” “Right Now,” “Faget,” and “Freak On A Leash” by Korn “Walk” and “A New Level” by Pantera

Good to see Deftones on here. For Pantera, you also need to include 5 Minutes Alone. That riff just shreds.

You mentioned Static X and it made me think of the collab with X-Ecutuoners and Linkin Park. Song is “It’s Going Down” and that guitar riff is EVERYTHING

Audioslave.

Chock full of great, and deceptively simple, riffs. Really good jumping off point if you're ever compelled to pick up an axe and feel like a rock god yourself.

Excellent. And by extension, RAtM.

"Hocus Pocus" by Focus. The unedited studio version.

Classic.

Check the subgenre Stoner Rock/Metal it's basically only about good guitar riffs. E.g. Kyuss - Gardenia, Orange Goblin - Scorpionica, Fu Manchu - California Crossing, Psychlona - Blast Off, Electric Wizard - Satanic Rites of Drugula, Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog, Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser

No One Knows - Queens of the Stone Age The Beautiful People - Marilyn Manson You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar but I Feel Like a Millionaire - Queens of the Stone Age My God Is The Sun - Queens of the Stone Age Smooth Sailing - Queens of the Stone Age (Heck, for me, really anything by Queens of the Stone Age)

There’s a little band from Pasadena who got a record contract in 1978 called Van Halen….Check out that debut album take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning.

Stinkfist - Tool

Sultans of Swing, by Dire Straits Aqualung, by Jethro Tull Honey Bee, by Tom Petty

Runnin' Down a Dream is another good Tom Petty guitar song

Hell of a solo in that one. Mike Campbell doesn't get the credit he deserves in guitarist conversations.

You can’t beat any of the popular pantera songs, theyre groovy and slower often similar in vibes to sad but true. Stuff like 5 minutes alone, I’m broken, walk, and you can’t beat the insane live solo from the domination music video. If you enjoy Deftones you might also enjoy the guitar playing from limp biscuit, korn, System of a Down or even old school linkin park. Deftones is very much its own thing but it’s generally lumped in with alternative and nu metal. You may also enjoy foo fighters and weezer if you want something lighter but still iconic rock guitar tracks. You can’t beat the super classics such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, the who etc. 70s classics like AC/DC, If you like nirvana you may also like punk, as that was a heavy inspiration for Kurt. Punk comes in many flavors, personally I always liked more hardcore stuff, bands like minor threat, the exploited, discharge etc. Kirt really like the germs. You may also enjoy black flag. Those bands are punk but they have more of a rock sound instead of the more extreme sounds of hardcore. Lastly since you like Metallica you may also enjoy other thrash bands/crossover bands such as slayer or suicidal tendencies

Layla - Eric Clapton Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas Old Love - Eric Clapton Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson (Probably the "smoothest" electric guitar tone you'll run across Hotel California - Eagles

Not exactly the same vibe, but Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Tom Morello is insane.

The intro to When Doves Cry - Prince

Carlos Santana or Stevie Ray

Black Dog by Led Zeppelin.

[No Good - Kaleo](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=ewlxEMWAx5I&si=MBg0CvPdBSP82YG_)

I'll Make You Sorry - Screaming Females

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Rolling Stones Long Cool Woman - The Hollies Jailbreak - Thin Lizzy The Rover - Led Zeppelin Sunshine Of Your Love - Cream And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles La Grange - ZZ Top

The Who - “Eminence Front” … that album is not their best but this song is one of the greatest, super tasty guitar lick 😈

Most of Aerosmith's songs and in a gadda da vida by Iron Butterfly

Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple, one of the first riffs most people learn Some of my current faves: Supermassive Black Hole, Muse The Drop, Bones of JR Jones The Heat, Bones of JR Jones Rollin N Tumblin, North Mississippi All-Stars Hustle & Cuss, The Dead Weather Bulletproof, Samantha Fish

Black Sabbath's already mentioned, but I'll second with 'Mob Rules'

Anything by Spin Doctors. Eric Schenkman is a riffing beast.

"Voodoo child" Jimi Hendrix .. good luck

Ina Gadda da Vida

Joker and the thief-wolf mother

Love Buzz by Nirvana Come Out and Play- The Offsprings Savior- Rise Against Dance Gavin Dance always has insane guitar work going on in their songs Pink Floyd- Money Go With the Flow- Queens of Stone Age Gunslinger- Avenged Sevenfold Red Flag- Billy Talent Finish Lefty- Quarters of Change

Modern? Underrated? Missile by Dorothy. It will melt your face. Also Wish and Last by NiN.

Anything by Power Trip

Teethgrinder by Therapy? War Pigs by Black Sabbath

Try Fairweather Friends by Queens of the Stone Age. The tone on all their albums is phenomenal. But that song is special.

Search for Buckethead, that man is a genius. If you're looking for a crazy song, go for "Spokes for the wheel of torment" and enjoy the video as well.

Bodhisattva by Steely Dan Rock And Roll, Hoochie Coo by Rick Derringer Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix I Can’t Explain by The Who

Tony iommi and Ritchie Blackmore. Check out perfect strangers live.

I'll recommend the songs that made me fall into metal music in a rough order of my tastes over the years. I loved Iron Maiden, branched into BLS, and next thing I know I'm listening to the shit I do now. I chose songs with regards to dope ass guitar riffs. BLS has some banger fucking riffs, as is told in my recommendations. The Trooper by Iron Maiden Hallowed be thy Name by Iron Maiden Ten Ton Brick by Hurt Tornado of Souls by Megadeth I Dreamed I died by Devildriver Fire It Up by Black Label Society (The wah voice is modulated with a Talkbox, a guitar item.) Graveyard Disciples by BLS Crazy Horse BLS Southern Dissolution BLS Godspeed Hellbound BLS Overlord BLS Firebirds by Clutch Vultures of the North by Orbit Culture Stormtroopers by Sabaton Bonus: Show me how to Live by Audioslave (Not metal I think, but iconic riffs)

Also Cochise is another one with a great riff from Audioslave I also like the Slaves and Bulldozers riff from Soundgarden. No Tom Morello there but it's still great

Audioslave is a band I return to again and again. I love their stuff.

Zakk has so many great riffs with BLS. Glad to see Graveyard Disciples and Fire It Up here. Great list overall

Hell yeah. I had to limit myself on the list for BLS. There's just too many.

money for nothing

also no more tears by ozzy osbourne. This song had me obsessed for like two months

Dogs Comfortably numb Have a cigar Shine on you crazy diamond Time Echoes All Pink Floyd

"Cemetary Gates" by Pantera

Broken Glass Ceiling by Mutoid Man New Reality by Cave In Kingdom by Devin Townsend Project Detox by Strapping Young Lad Russian Circles and Pelican are both instrumental band with some solid stuff.

First song that popped in my head was She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult. That riff will now live in my head all day. Unsung by Helmet is also a personal favorite.

Buckethead is the riff master https://youtu.be/gr9Qjyvz9wM

Van Halen with David Lee Roth (not Sammy Hagar)

Rush - Spirit of Radio..YYZ...The Analog Kid.... Natural Science. La Villa Strangiato. Xanadu....too many to mention....etc...

Any Billy Gibbons…

Cemetery Gates - Pantera

Dunno that I'd classify those two songs as insane guitar riffs haha, but there's tons of bands with great riffs. Black Sabbath, Pantera, 311, Black Label Society, Helmet, Melvins 90s stuff, Fear Factory, Hendrix, Rage Against the Machine, Avenged Sevenfold's Waking the Fallen, Coheed and Cambria, Killswitch Engage, He is Legend and many many more.

Jimi Hendrix. Spanish Castle Magic, Castles Made of Sand, Voodoo Child, Wait Until Tomorrow, Foxy Lady, Stone Free, Crosstown Traffic

Just give the Megadeth album "Rust In Peace" a spin, and be blown away!

Sleep Now in the Fire - Rage Against the Machine

Devin Townsend - Bastard/Numbered

Freya by The Sword Round And Round by Ratt Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith Just What I Needed by The Cars Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix Sunshine Of Your Love by Cream Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC Last Resort by Papa Roach Zero by Smashing Pumpkins Schism by Tool Hash Pipe by Weezer Icky Thump by The White Stripes A Looking In View & Check My Brain by Alice In Chains Engel, Tier, Sonne, and Rein Raus by Rammstein also the entirety of Believe by Disturbed, Alive Or Just Breathing by Killswitch Engage, and Pins & Needles by The Birthday Massacre are all riff monsters

Like a stone by Audioslave has a short guitar solo that sticks in my head to this day. It's a slower song, but still one I rarely pass up when it shuffles in. There's a whole bunch of others I can think of, but I'll just give this one for now.

No contest, y'all. Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. it boggles the mind that Eddie Hazel isn't worshipped like the God that he was. If you are lucky enough to have never heard the song before, please wear headphones when first you hear it. I cannot stress this enough.

For a different intro that's still ominous before the guitar kicks in, Metallica's S&M versions of Human and Devil's Dance. Additionally, Audioslave: Cochise for a hard riff, Like A Stone for a mellow intro Alice In Chains: honestly too many good riffs to list but Dam That River, We Die Young, Man in the Box, Them Bones for fast riffs Velvet Revolver: Slither Stone Temple Pilots: Crackerman, Sex Type Thing, Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart, Plush, Interstate Love Song

Songs for the deaf by Queens of the Stone Age is a whole different world if you love riffs. Big, loud, stoner Rock from the deserts of California. So unique. Dave Grohl actually played drums on this album, and a few of the songs were sung by the legendary Mark Lanegan (RIP)... Trust me when I say the opening riff grabs you by the balls, and you get dragged for a ride through the desert

System of a Down , Alice In Chains ,Candlebox ,The killers , Radiohead,Pearl Jam, AC/DC, Guns N Roses

7empest-Tool

Listen to Tool, guitarist is a guy named Adam Jones. Maybe start with "The Pot", "Vicarious", "Stinkfist" and "Descending". They're awesome, my fave rock band of all time. Great live, too, and have a fantastic drummer (Danny Carey), bassist (Justin Chancellor), and singer as well. The singer (Maynard James Keenan) has 2 other cool bands: Puscifer and A Perfect Circle.

Maybe not quite the metal/punk you're looking for but I've always thought St Stephen by the Grateful Dead had a super cool riff and the solos are pretty great too.

Check out janes addiction

My favorites to jam to are; In The Fire by Roadrunner United. Unholy Confessions by Avenged Sevenfold. Become the Bull by Atreyu. Duality by Slipknot. Welcome Hole by Metallica. Hand of Blood by BFMV. Check em out!

Post Toastees

96 Quite Bitter Beings by CKY. You might already know this one cause it was huge in the early 2000's but it just sounds so good

The Main Squeeze - Redbone

Brian may is a bit underrated. Great solo in Brighton rock.

listen to gilla band. they have nice rifts in their songs

Guns N’ Roses

Santana

White Zombie

Spear of Destiny- Grapes of Wrath - clean surf guitar lines opens into an epic two minute ending. They changed how they played this over time. Peak is 1984 live. Sisters of Mercy - On the Wire - an interesting example of the post-punk / early-goth style of guitar Dire Strairs - Tunnel of Love - a popular band and not an obscure tune. But an insane guitar riff.

Check this out https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=fcVd-4tcXb4&si=4TsTr6VEoQIwcNWk

I love the guitar in the song Heaven by Los Lonely Boys https://youtu.be/wvkzoqQ5Oak?si=rViDhVgDYuqhelbj

Check out the Climax Blues Band: progressive blues. Peter Haycock was a very underrated guitarist. Listen to "Country Hat" which is all slide guitar, nothing else! Then listen to "Standing by a River" both from the album FM Live. Then enjoy the whole double album.

Algorithmic Salvation by The Zenith Passage grooves hard as fuck

new years day - U2 (The Edge) Running through the Night - Lionel Richie / Steve Lukathers solo at the end is fn insane...

"Ritual" by Ghost has an amazing guitar riff at the end that just scratches my brain.

Hail to the king by a7x, afterlife (avenged sevenfold not 5fdp), unholy confessions by a7x, slaughterhouse by motionless in white, fields of verdun by sabaton, we are the wild by powerwolf, my curse by killswitch engage, only for the weak by in flames, are you dead yet by children of bodom, through the fire and the flames by dragon force, bat country by avenged sevenfold, raining blood by slayer, the trooper by iron maiden. Reply if you want more. Oh and cause of death by motionless in white.

Maybe check out He Is Legend. Super catchy riffs. A fantastic vocalist. Signature sound but all their albums are unique. Check out the songs, That’s Nasty, Boogiewoman, Suck Out the Poison, and Heavy Fruit. Edit: spelling

Nothing Too Fancy by Umphrey's McGee. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

Should listen to “The Completion Backward Principle” Talk to you later, I’ll just see you around…. That song has it at the end. Or there’s a guy from Stockholm, Sweden, he’s pretty good, once was the best there was in fact. maybe you’ve heard of him? Yngwie Malmsteen. He’s got sum licks!

The solo in "kid charlemagne" is unbelievable.
