The guitar part for the rest of the song isn't all that riff-driven, but the first 15 seconds give me chills every time.</p> <p>"Rain" by the Cult. Nobody puts together a melody like Billy Duffy.</p> <p>"Who Are the Mystery Girls" by New York Dolls. Power chords FTW.</p> <p>Anything by Bowie that Mick Ronson put his hands to. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff/page/2#post-30470 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 10:48:20 +0000 rhinostones 30470@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>It's pretty short, but the opening riff for I Won't Forget You by Poison.<br /> It reminds me of the part of the video where C.C. leaves his girlfriend and then gets on the bus, and I start to cry.

I can actually play that. I'm learning Crazy Train, but i'd still sy Rock You Like A Hurricane Because, (dims the lights to storytelling mode) i was watching Metal mania on VH1C and it was that song, then i went to my guitar lessons and the teacher asked me if i knew that song, i said "yeah i like just heard it for the first time 3 hours ago on M.M."<br /> And i was able to play it perfectly the first time.<br /> So Rock You Like A Hurricane will always be one of my favorite songs just because of that. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28637 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:16:39 +0000 MyOwnWay 28637@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Aint Talkin Bout Love - Van Halen </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28629 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 12:48:34 +0000 Sparkii Silver 28629@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>the keys riff to runaway by Bon Jovi is pretty crazy </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28628 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 12:41:56 +0000 BunniSparxx 28628@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i can play sweet child o mine..............but id still say gypsy road <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28442 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 06:37:23 +0000 CrueChick 28442@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>dude- that's like impossible to choose! <img src='http://glamrock.com/forum/bb-images/smilies/icon_eek.gif' alt='8O' class='wp-smiley' /> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28420 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 22:43:25 +0000 Dr.Feelgood 28420@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Of the ones you listed, I'd say Nothin But A Good Time, but you cant forget about Wild Side. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28386 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:05:08 +0000 TylerSixx 28386@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Live Wire<br /> Wildside is up there too </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28383 Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:36:03 +0000 Guitarsmurf 28383@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Alice Cooper - No more Mr nice guy<br /> Racer X - Superheroes</p> <p>Of the ones mentioned above: Sweet Child Of Mine! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28225 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:23:18 +0000 Sparkii Silver 28225@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>bark at the moon, jake was a beast </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-28215 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 21:57:05 +0000 Dash 28215@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Mr. Rainmaker-Warrant or Don't blame it on love-Danger Danger which kinda is the same intro,but that muted guitar intro sounds so badass </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-27168 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 09:15:31 +0000 klf1018 27168@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Boyz Are Gonna Rock;; Vinnie Vincent Invasion. :] </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-26445 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:12:44 +0000 Minnigh 26445@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I would have to say defiantly Crazy train! </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/rock-music-forum/best-opening-guitar-riff#post-26393 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:42:37 +0000 Retroman 26393@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Roxx Gang "No Easy Way Out" does it for me everytime!
