Members Gochaz Posted November 23, 2006 Members Share Posted November 23, 2006 That riff that kicks in after the chorus in The Vengaboys' "Boom Boom Boom Boom". It's a keyboard riff, but hell. It's great!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHKCNPAKnLE The If You Want Blood riff is fantastic is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members voodoochile Posted November 24, 2006 Members Share Posted November 24, 2006 oh well, by fleetwood mac (this is supposed to be the inspiration for zeppelin's black dog, another great one) the ocean, zeppelin. i love a lot of zeppelin riffs equally, but this one stands out in a unique way. another of my favorites of theirs is the lemon song and i've always been partial to stroll on / train kept a rollin, whatever they wanted to call it, by the yardbirds machine gun, hendrix/band of gypsies oh yes and 'who knows' too...its on that band of gypsies album as well, i think its just about as good as a guitar riff will ever get i've always loved the main riff of in-a-gadda-da-vida by iron butterfly, but i have to admit, i've never heard another of their songs that i know of. its sorta similar to another of my favorites, sunshine of your love by cream and i can't leave out crossroads by cream also, {censored}in love that riff.
