What do you think is the heaviest riff in rock? i don't mean best riff; i mean what riff is so heavy that it just makes your body feel like it's full of iron; indestructible to all that comes across its path.
for me it has got to be "sad but true" by metallica. that song just makes me envision a 10,000 man army about to walk into battle with their footsteps and mentality in unison with that of general hammett and assistant general hetfield.
seeing it live with +10,000 fists pounding the air as they simultaneously jump up and down is pretty frickin' heavy too.
so what does everyone else think?

Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

Another heavy riff has to be Joe Satriani's *Hordes Of Locusts* I can hear those tiny creatures marching with destruction of the earth's greenery on their minds.
Give a listen to a studio version...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr9inblpQe4

I'll have to say I can't think of one right off.
No one has mentioend Mastodon though so I'll throw a couple of theirs out there.
The closeing riff to Siberrian Divide off of Blood Mountin kills me every time.
When The Czar kicks in around the 3:44 mark off of Crack the Skye fucking pure head banging fun.
Love the Melvins the bit too and their song Revolve.

VERY VERY nice choices :thumbup:
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Have to agree with that - and add You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fOIRnKrskQ

I'll see your Millionaire and raise you 'A Song for the Dead' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USKnKTSpZZA That ending is absolutely insane.
Here's a pretty kickin version of Millionaire from Jools Holland back in 02/03.

My vote for most BAD ASS riff goes to 'Tallica's 'Seek and Destroy'
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
I was once I huge Testament fan....they had some heavy shit as well

Good story, never knew that. Seeing them next week . . . cannot wait!
Thanks, been around for a while, never posted . . . too much drama :roll: . This seemd like a worthwhile thread though.

I would say something by Pantera. Drag the Waters and A New Level come to mind.
