Best opening riff that makes you pause and turn up to 10 - in your opinion of course.

I was going to post Ratt-Lay it Down, but then Cat Scratch Fever Came On and RATT got bumped.

As far as bass, no more tears always worked for me although I know that there are better. Yes, I’ve heard for whom the bell tolls and think that it is great as well.

Either the amazing guitar riff or the distinctive bass riff by itself would make for a good song. Together, with Peter Koppes guitar wailing over the top of both, make for a spectacular song.

Rollin' and tumblin' by Johnny Winter at the First Atlanta Pop festival in 1969. When he started to play the long version of his opening riff he blew out the electricity and the sound system on the first note. He played the entire song in the dark with no amplification.


Here's a bootleg version of another time he played Rollin' and tumblin'.
