Can't have paradise city, it's ripped off Sabbaths Zero the Hero.

Speaking if Sabbath, Symptom of the Universe is the best of the best.

Sorry Sweet child o mine was an awful riff and was actually done as a pisstake initially I believe. Estranged by GnR was an amazing guitar riff

7 nation army was an awesome but very simple riff.... if it works it works I guess!

PurpleBin · Mar 20, 2017

I wanna be Adored - Stone Roses. That intro...amazing.

If we're talking bass riffs it has to be Michael Dempsey on the associates track club country, he played with The Cure, The Associates and The Lotus Eaters but his work on this track is great.

Johnnythespider · Mar 24, 2017

Charlie Burchill of simple minds plays a staccato style solo at the end of The American which is one of my favourite endings to a track ever

torchomatic · Mar 24, 2017

The bassline on I Travel is also fantastic.

xcraigx · Mar 24, 2017

Muse New Born
Sonne by Rammstein
Immigrant Song Led Zeppelin

Shot by Both Sides - Magazine. Same riff as Promises by the Buzzcocks.

Best solo - Buzzcocks: Boredom. Some solo as Orange Juice - Rip it Up.

westcountry_skyblue · Mar 24, 2017

Pretty vacant-Sex Pistols.
Steve Jones not bad for a bloke who said they couldn't play!

Come as you are somewhat "borrowed" from 'Eighties' by Killing Joke.
