Riffs currently kicking your ass

[Baroque]

Those riffs that make you pick up your instrument and learn how to play them. Because sometimes songs aren't currently kicking your ass, but have a moment or two that does kick your ass. Or maybe a song kicks your ass, but one part kicks your ass especially hard.

I like this entire song, but 9:47, yeah man, that's what I'm talking about. Wish it kept going!

[Krigloch the Furious]

Vektor is loaded with killer riffs

 

[no country for old wainds]

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Main riff, a minute in. Uber-simple, but I love that tone and the way it cries. Outside of Saint Vitus, I can't think of many that riff quite like that.

 

[Baroque]

3:58 to 4:17

 

[-CC-]

The riffs in the first 2 minutes

 

[Westsiyeed]

One of my favourites; love the build up from 5:30 and then the riff especially from 6:30 to 7:00...

Another: Baroness - The Birthing, from about 2:28 to 3:26 (more guitar work than riffs, but fucking killer):

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

2:10-2:19 I've loved that riff since I heard it the first time. It's got some weird pull off or something going on. Really not sure
2:52-the solo. It's the bends that makes it unique for me. Sort of breaks up that section.


I could go on and on with Nile riffs, that's why I like the band so damn much.

Loaded with killer riffs!

 

[EspaDa]

The whole album is loaded.

 

[The Ozzman]

The riff at 0:29. Simple, but hooks you in

 

[MoSeN]

I've probably listened to over 150 metal bands' complete discographies so far, but for some reason whenever I think of a good heavy riff this is the first that comes to mind (0:44 - 1:14):

0:13-0:36 Great album opener.

 

[Summerian]

Also, 2:40 in this will always make me feel young/angry.

[Baroque]

The last minute of this song (2:42-3:44). Man Havok is full of killer thrash riffs.

 

[Baroque]

1:53-1:58 Holy shit. I think his guitar just orgasmed.

 

[The_Mule]

 

[End of Glory]

4:14 - 4:55 have recently got my attention. Soon to be nailed on the guitar.
