Well, Page is the obvious master of riffs and cannot be equaled, but I'll raise your Kashmir a Quarter - No Quarter to be precise.



'course, only Jimi can beat Jimmy so...

When Keith Richards couldn't play Chuck Berry's riff, I knew at least one of the good ones.

The intro to Van Halen's Unchained. I think you can actually hear the power tubes melting in that Marshall head.

Loved the intro to Ratt's Lay it Down.

Both of those sound better the louder you crank it.

The biggining of Dire strait's Romeo and Juliette is nothing to scoff at either.
