Best GNR riffs (bar SCOM).

[Towelie]

.....

[Flayer]

Tough with so many good choices. Put in Nightrain.

[EvH]

Rocket Queen, no contest really.

[BreakDown2014]

There are many great choices but I went with Better. It's one of the best moments on CD and in GN'R discography imo

[Towelie]

I would say the top 5 for me:

1. Jungle

2. Coma

3. My Michelle

4. Locomotive

5. Shacklers

[Flayer]

Sticking with Nightrain for my top spot, but if you went album by album, then YCBM for the Illusions and Shackler's for sure on CD.

[Gordon Comstock]

Tough choice between Coma, Locomotive and most of AFD, but I went with Coma.

[Kosonen]

Coma

[dando]

Original Guns, rocket queen or dead horse

current Guns, there was a time or street of dreams

[Gordon Comstock]

From CD, there's Better and then there's everything else as far as riffs go. I'd say Riad is the second best.

[Silent Jay]

Jungle.

Huge let down on Chinese, I don't even know Scraped had a riff before.

[shjtjustgotreal]

at this point i dont even know if the people on this forum are trolling most of the time or are dead serious

im too afraid to ask

[WhazUp]

Rocket Queen. It is sleazy and sexy, especially with the serious drum grooving going on underneath it

[Shooting Star]

Better

[Towelie]

Original Guns, rocket queen or dead horse

current Guns, there was a time or street of dreams

TWAT and SOD dont even have riffs.

[Free Bird]

1. Mr Brownstone.

2. You're Crazy (Lies)

3. Nightrain

Best riff not listed: One In A Million

[Jakey Styley]

Was between Nightrain and YCBM for me.

[DR DOOM]

I voted Locomotive.

I feel a little conflicted in doing so, like trying to say the best GNR songs are Estranged or November Rain but it's so rifftastic

[wasted]

Out Ta get Me.

[J Dog]

Hard as hell. Voted for YCBM but damn, there's like 10 I could vote for.

[Flayer]

Jungle.

Huge let down on Chinese, I don't even know Scraped had a riff before.

Scraped's actually got some pretty good stuff going on imo.

[Nosaj Thing]

I can't choose one.

My favorites off the top of my head:

My Michelle
Welcome to the Jungle
Rocket Queen
You Could Be Mine
Paradise City
Nightrain

[maynard]

Oh yeah... My Michelle has a badass riff. Sometimes I forget some songs exist, lol.

[Towelie]

Oh yeah... My Michelle has a badass riff. Sometimes I forget some songs exist, lol.

Nice to see My Michelle getting some love rather than the usual culprits. And you're right, the riff is totally badass. So simple yet so fucking cool and sleazy!

[Nosaj Thing]

My Michelle riff is awesome. It sounded damn powerful with Slash UYI tone.
