it feels like i am the only one wh never reaaly liked to listen to maiden

Posted by: shellshock1911 Mar 21 2008, 09:27 PM

The Glass Prison breakdown riff- Dream Theater. OMG I could just jam that in my truck with the bass turned all the way up. It is only one guitar for about 10 seconds then the bass, drums and the second guitar track just explode into the speakers...

Home- Dream Theater. The middle eastern style riff, lick thing with wah and keybords that comes in at about 1:40 or so, and is repeated a couple times in the song.

Mmm...3rd, probably just something like Powerslave by Iron Maiden. Any of middle eastern oriented riff I am just going to love so much.

In the Name of God by Dream Theater is great too.

Breakdown in Blood of the Scribe- Lamb of God

Nectar - Opeth (The riff that starts at 8.48)
Brave - Katatonia (The entire song is full with awesome riffs, but I I have to choose one it'll be the main riff)
Hymn 3 - Wolf And Hatred - Ulver (The first riff)

There are tons of other awesome riffs, but these 3 are just pure magic.

*Edit* Actually, the tapping in Brave is better than the first riff, and there is nothing in the world that is even close to the awesomeness of the tapping in brave.
