Vote on the guitar riff you think has the biggest goddamn balls in the world!

Some examples of big-balls riffs:
- Sad but true, Metallica
- Walk, Pantera
- Back in Black, AC DC
- Smoke on the Water, Deep purple

My vote goes to Sad but True.

gboz · 12-01-2004, 05:27 AM

"Dogman", Kings X. Anyone else familiar with this? If not, you owe it to yourself.

lamb of god - laid to rest (opening)
pantera - this love (mid-song)
alice in chains - them bones (opening)

No Quarter--Zep
Kashmir--zep
In My Time Of Dying--Zep
In the Light--Zep
Ironman--Sabbath
Fairies Wear Boots--Sabbath

Just to many to remember

K-Wise · 12-02-2004, 12:13 AM

Ironman is probably the best ever. But I've always thought Purple Haze and Sunshine Of Your Love were pretty fuckin memorable. Theres a million riffs out there that just kick ass.

Asta!!

pixelbend · 12-02-2004, 05:24 AM

Ironman is awesome. I just recently learned that Tony Iommi played his guitar with it tuned really low because of a factory accident where he lost the tips of two of his fingers. If not for that, they would have never had that low, edgy sound that inspired millions of would-be rockers.

Also, Poundcake - Van Halen. You have to have balls to take a power-drill to Frankenstein.

Ozzy's singing in that song isn't the best it's ever been so that turned me off for a little while but then I REALLY listened to the riffs and it all came together and now I think the song kicks serious ass.

Asta!!

Arroe · 12-02-2004, 05:53 PM

i say back in black.

I also like "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica. That intro guitar part is pretty sweet.

pedro padilla · 12-02-2004, 06:25 PM

any classic Joe Perry aerosmith riffs. Walk this way. Sweet Emotion.
Ted Nugent Cat scratch fever or Wang dang... are purty catchy as well.

The bitch is back--Elton John

Some less obvious ones:

Steve Vai - Erotic Nightmares, Die to Live
Dave Lee Roth - It's Showtime (so doesn't sound like Jason Becker)
Extreme - L'il Jack Horny

roachboy · 12-03-2004, 08:07 AM

supernaut is a much cooler riff-tune than iron man, i think.
so is wheels of confusion.
so is sweet leaf
so is the middle part of sabbath bloddy sabbath
so is the entire recorded history of killing joke (through their mid 1980s hiatus)
so is much of the recorded history of prong.
so is most of the 1970s electric miles davis stuff.
so is everything sonny sharrock recorded.

i could go on and on
