Favourite Riffs???

[lenny&carl]

Another vote for Dominance & Submission right here. Also by BOC there's Cagey Cretins, which motors along. And uh Whole lot of Love by Led Zepplin is a good one.

Oops, sorry Hotpie. I meant You Really Got Me. Unforgivable, seeing I saw The Kinks way back when. Blame it on the Alzheimers.

Name any TOOL song and Adam Jones will deliver.

Could repeat earlier songs, but other songs I'd recommend are the opening riff to Pearl Jam's Alive and Do The Evolution.
