Anything by Deftones, Stef is a riff monster!

The pills that I've been taking confuse me...

Ooo, I like riffs.
The entirety of Vulgar Display of Power.. but if I had to pick just one, Mouth for War:
VIDEO
The Sword - Freya :
VIDEO
Fu Manchu - Make Them Believe. That opening riff is killer:
VIDEO
QOTSA - You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire . Starts at 0:45:
VIDEO
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner. So many good Kyuss riffs, this is just one:
VIDEO
Nick Drake - Road . Does this count? The timing fucks me every time:
VIDEO
The Voidz - Pyramid of Bones:
VIDEO
Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser:
VIDEO
RHCP - Nobody Weird Like Me :

Excellent choices! Mouth for War has two huge riffs, both verse and chorus. The Sword and Fu Manchu are both brilliant. I really love the 'We Must Obey' album - this is one of many great riffs on there:

If we're talking Josh Homme, this is probably my pick:

Tom Morello - Original Fire, Revelations, Bombtrack
Eric Clapton - Pilgrim, love that riff with his high vocal
Bully Duffy - quite a few Cult tunes
Somebody De Leo - Stone Temple Pilots guy.. Tiny Music album

apart from what's been mentioned already:
Procreation of the wicked-Celtic Frost. VIDEO
I am the Black Wizards-Emperor. VIDEO
Atlantis-Angel Witch. VIDEO
There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Not the thread for it, but their drummer is fucking excellent. Totally drives all of their best tracks.

Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
Theres enough riffage in that song to satisfy a hungry guitarist.
The best things in life are actually really expensive!
