Don't forget "Xefer", everyone's favorite Vader riff.

Except mine. Seriously dude, listen to the intro to "Reborn in Flames" from De Profundis and tell me that the shit isn't steaming.

Dead Skin Mask intro by Slayer is classic. Not too much on this short sample, but we all know it.

The Wake up Dead by Mgadeth sample has a riff I always thought was sweet (sounds a little dated a decade later maybe)
