    These are all good but probably my favorite riff ever is the intro to Raining Blood by Slayer.

    Well, after spending some time thinking, the best riffing put to record was done by Randy Rhoads on the song "Believer." Just check out the track on the Tribute CD. I have never heard anything else that comes close to the amazing flow and impact of the riffs there.

    Right In Two, by Tool.

    That end riff is so.... boundless! Unbelievable song from an amazing band! Few riffs even come close. If you don't believe me, listen to the song, beware though: patience is a virtue. the riff I'm speaking of doesn't come in until about 5 minutes into the song, and goes for a full three minutes more!
