Greatest Guitar Riffs?

Re: Greatest Guitar Riffs?

It was in an interim session with Entwhistle, bassist for the Who... when John and Keith were feeling estranged from Townsend and Daltry, and they almost broke from the Who (and thankfully did not).
They were trying to create a 'supergroup'
That's when Entwhistle said: "This band will go over like a Lead balloon!" and keith corrected him; "No, this will go over like a Lead Zeppelin!"


It was peter grant the manager who later, changed the name (spelling) from lead to Led cuz the "Thick Americans" would pronounce it as "Leed" rather than
"Ledd".

I may be wrong, but I recall reading somewhere that as a session musician, Jimmy Page is responsible for playing the Kinks' "You Really Got Me"....

Fire by Jimi Hendrix

how about it?
can't see how that is a great guitar riff....
it is one o my fave songs...but a great guitar riff?

Maybe 'memorable' is a better word for it...

I think Auntie is talking about this part:
Duhduh duh duh duh duh duuuuuh, duhduh duh duh <repeat>

Not great but recognizable. Or maybe she was talking about a flute riff?

Exactly! <starts headbanging and playing air guitar at desk>

Maybe not 'great' in terms of quality, but definitely recognizable.

Okay I had to go to the initial post to find it and yes it was...Sweet Child of Mine by GnR!!!

But one I hadn't seen is from Ten Years After...I'd love to Change the World...But I don't know what to do. Fantastic Riff in there that you just gotta pound the heck out of your JBL's.

And the Stones live version of Satisfaction from the Steel Wheels tour! Oh man the Imax movie of Steel Wheels was just like being there. Ears ringing and all.
