Voted "Back In The Saddle" on pure gut reaction.

i mean, there are better SONGS in this list, but "Sunshine Of Your Love" is so obv the best riff.

Cream.

― meisenfek, Thursday, 26 February 2009 09:20 (seventeen years ago)

actually its Ain't talkin' 'bout love...

― meisenfek, Thursday, 26 February 2009 09:21 (seventeen years ago)

The Day I Tried To Live = Kashmir backwards, sorta. I've always seen it as a rip-off of the chromatic idea that make Kashmir heavy.

― bendy, Thursday, 26 February 2009 11:18 (seventeen years ago)

This is "Purple Haze" although Hendrix had better riffs than that one.

― Geir Hongro, Thursday, 26 February 2009 11:23 (seventeen years ago)

Best riff: Sunshine Of Your Love

Slash gets a gold star for singling out The Day I Tried To Live, my favorite song on Superunknown.

Rock Bottom

― henry s, Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:30 (seventeen years ago)

The Day I... is a strange choice. Soundgarden had some way better riffs.

― chap, Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:46 (seventeen years ago)

^^^^^this

― bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:46 (seventeen years ago)

Jesus Christ Pose alone has, like, three that are better than this one

― bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 14:49 (seventeen years ago)

Particularly the one that comes in at 3.50.

lol poor jeff beck, does he have any rabid fans that aren't also famous guitarists?

― Lorax in NYC (some dude), Friday, 27 February 2009 00:55 (seventeen years ago)

I notice "Purple Haze" and "Black Sabbath" are both in the list. Slash has a thing for the tritone, apparently? :)
