Paul S Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 As far as simple heavy cement mixer riffs go, I think Alice In Chains 'Man In The Box' must qualify for the shortlist: [url="http://youtu.be/NHZS8S6O4-Y"]http://youtu.be/NHZS8S6O4-Y[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 [quote name='mikhay77' timestamp='1362773806' post='2004744'] +1 anything of Vulgar dispaly or far beyond driven,just really cool riffs [/quote] Yeah, the riff starting at 4.00 mins is great on this http://youtube.com/watch?v=ikAJBucW_2Q Also love a bit of Sons of Otis or Lightning Bolt for heavy riffage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Cave-In - 'Big Riff'. More of a classic take on what id class as heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm not sure if its the heaviest thing ever, but despite repeated listenings I still don't know what the bassist is doing in this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2qLY4KHCYE But if its Deftones heavy I can never go beyond 'You've Seen the Butcher'.

Paul S Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I am enjoying this thread. Lots of stuff I don't usually listen to. Here are a couple of oldies - maybe not as 'heavy' but great riffs. Budge have been mentioned, Guts plus Crash Course in Brain Surgery cover by Metallica (their own 2003 re-recording is superb, as it happens). Here is another one of their great riffs - Zoom Club [url="http://youtu.be/VG7e3-jm3UU"]http://youtu.be/VG7e3-jm3UU[/url] And Queen might not be the first band that springs to mind when talking abut heavy riffs but Son and Daughter from their heavier first album has a pretty fine riff going: [url="http://youtu.be/94tKvktP6bY"]http://youtu.be/94tKvktP6bY[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTGAndy Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Heaviest riff has to go to Ever Forthright's Spineless. Check out 3.17, 8 string guitar FTW! http://youtu.be/HcGPxJqHtKg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Far too many to choose from! For me, a heavy riff has to have a groove and impact, rather than maintain a constant level of ferocity. But I appreciate that tastes differ and that's one of the things I like best about 'Heavy Metal' , that so many variations of styles come along, take something and add something and it develops. Liking Rammstein at the moment, and also partial to a bit of Mastodon. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NvnWJU5Ak8[/media] No idea how you get the video's in. Old git, with addled headbanger brain cells.... (Update, old dog has been taught new tricks!!) Edited March 10, 2013 by redbandit599 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Sorry, mate! What I personally do is Copy the web address while watching the vid on YouTube. Then, when writing the post, I Paste that web address into my post to be, and by hand write the media stuff before and behind the link. I couldn't show you how it looked, because the forum software would immediately try and interpret it as instructions But I'll try again, using extra spaces this time [ m e d i a ] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GdsulFAH_i0#t=1s"]http://www.youtube.c...dsulFAH_i0#t=1s[/url] [ / m e d i a ] Yup. That works. Just have no spaces, and it will function. Also read Mr. Foxen's post! best, bert Edited March 10, 2013 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbellishment Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Although it may be [i]'cool' [/i]to name riffs written in the 1970's etc as 'the [b]heaviest[/b] riff ever', I find it eludes from an honest answer to the question... unless people haven't heard rock/metal beyond 1980. When there are/were bands like Strapping Young Lad, Pantera, Morbid Angel, The Dillinger Escape Plan etc kicking out ridiculously [b]heavy [/b]riffs over and over... saying Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath for cool points is just silly... in my humble opinion x [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm-eXzMdfro"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm-eXzMdfro[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
