Ghost because its melodic and kick ass

My FAVORITE riff of all-time is the intro to “Mr Brownstone” from ‘Appetite for Destruction’. That ALWAYS gets me pumped. I have wanted to do it with so many of my bands in the past, but it’s not the kind of song where the lead singer can play all of those awesome rhythm parts during the verses. THAT makes an awesome song — not just chuggin’ away at chords during the verses, but doing something interesting that compliments the melody. Awesome tune, man. Amazing.

Paradise City, Pffftt…..Its the BEST !!!!!

My favorite slash riff is the entire solo of sweet child of mine. the way he splits it into two different sections,starting slow for the ballad appeal then kicking on the wah for the rock, its truly genius.

One riff? Are you kidding me? No fan could only point on THAT one riff ;o). Sorry, I really want to win, but I cannot say that there is only ONE especially riff. Rock N’ Roll Dunlop ;oD.

Awsome

Is this contest for US citizens only?

Marc 
(Europe)

It has to be the intro riff to “you could be mine.” It gets you so effing pumped, plus they’ve got Arnold on the video getting everyone jacked up! Ahhhhhhh!

Favorite Riff BTW is Coma

November Rain

November Rain- classic riff with feelings and amazing sound

My favorite Slash riff is Coma. I love how it’s sound, and really how it starts with the A-chord and the bass riff, and building it self up, and explode into this riff

my fovorite slash riff is in dont cry because it starts kinda soft and just all of a sudden KABAMM!!!!! TOTAL EPICNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Gotta go with You Could Be Mine.  That song still shreds my face off to this day.

Rocket Queen…such a simple but heavy, dirty riff. That riff can easily gettin a crowd goin and its one that you can HEAD BANG ALL NITE TO!!!! R N’FR

Gotta go with ‘You Could Be Mine.’  That song still shreds my face off to this day.

Sweet child… Best rif of all time… period

HMMMMM hard question I love most of Slash’s work but Night-train used to be my favourite but there are some crackers on the  solo cd & velvet revolver/snakepit  stuff is cool as well…gonna stick with Night Train coz my heed is starting to hurt!!

The old school Gn’R riffs will always be classic, but i think off his new album, by the sword is just a rocking riff. Starts off with an acoustic, goes into a slightly broken up clean tone, then into an all out heavy rock n roll sound. Just awesome!

Sweet child o’ mine. Who needs explanations…?

My favourite Slash’s guitar riff is “Don’t Cry”. It always knock me out Sound is amazing, Slash plays the solo with feelings. This song shows fellings, which accompany people (for example) unhappily fall in love…

paradise city just because its a kickass riff

Don’t Damn Me’s Opening riff is the baddest riff. (so many to choose from but this one always sticks out). It has attitude, finesse, covers most of the fretboard and just plain rocks!

Sweet Child O’ Mine, simply iconic, timeless, pure rock, sweet sound.

my favorite riff is in rocket queen because it has that constant groove throughout the whole song and you can always go back remembering where it started from

Don’t Cry For Sure!!! VERY POWERFUL

Coma.  Simply heavy, heavy, heavy!

mine at the moment has got to be by the sword from slash…great player slash!!

The intro to Back from Cali! In every way it kicks ass!

I don’t think i could say which one is my favorite, but probably the Paradise City one is one of the bests, because its simplicity and power

Ghost. After waiting so long for some new riffs, who would have thought it would be that good?!! It just set the album off brilliantly. It proved that Slash still had it and was not growing old gracefully!!

Set Me Free. Reason being is that it just kicks you in the guts but lifts you up at the same time. Made me believe in Rock N Roll again.

very cool and great tone

I’m gonna say my favorite guitar riff of Slash’s is Sweet Child O’ Mine because its beautiful and the song makes me think of my mom.

My favorit Slash riff is in Sweet Child O Mine riff, because it is the first riff I tried to learn. When I first heard that riff it inspired my to play guitar and started to play guitar. I really like that riff how it starts and ends and the sound is amazing.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but   Sweet child O’ Mine prob takes the cake.

Double Talkin´ Jive… because the tone and extravaganzza, but, like stuff from Slash, always ROCKIN´!!!

Welcome To The Jungle…it displays a massive mix of styles and is one of slashs best!!!

Slash has done a lot of riffs, so picking one is rather difficult. There’s the killer intro riff to ‘Ghost’, the grueling riffs from ‘Nightmare’, the funky chunk of ‘Rocket Queen’, the clean chord-hopping of ‘Paradise City’, the makes-me-want-to-cry beauty of ‘November Rain’, the driving grit of ‘She Builds Quick Machines’… Do you look at the delayed effects of the intro riff to ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ which earned it the honors of the greatest rock song of all time by VH1? What about the flamenco stylings at the end of ‘Double-Talkin’ Jive’? Or the funk laid down for most of ‘Locomotive’?

In the end, you have to choose one….

I’m gonna crash and burn, I’ll never learn… I’m on the NIGHT TRAIN! I really can’t think of a better riff that Slash wrote than those in Night Train – any riff in the song, take your pick, it doesn’t matter. It is THE quintessential GNR song – subject matter, tempo, sound, everything! I can never get enough NIGHT TRAIN!

My favourite Slash riff is the one in my favourite Guns N’ Roses song “Estranged” , starting at 3:06 .
It’s just extremely soulful and it touches my heart every time I hear it …

Fall to pieces, it’s just full of emotion!

Sweet Child O Mine as it’s just beautiful, and so much fun to play on guitar.

sweet child o’mine of course, its the one riff everyone knows him for and one hell of a catchy riff at that!

I have many but sweet child o mine just soars and takes off for me everytime

Rocket Queen is my favourite
(In case you wondered, Slash, Brian May and Richie Sambora were my three main inspirations to start playing the guitar…)

It’s really hard to choose, but i think it’s Paradise City. The riff couldn’t get any better. I can’t get enough of it.

The first that comes to mine is WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, the first time I heard that riff I had to run out and buy the record so I could play it over and over, till I could play it. It ws the coolest thing I had heard and one of those things guitar gods are cut from.

I would say Night Train. The verse riff is pure rock n’ roll….with a tasty lick added to keep it out of cookie cutter land.

The intro to Sweet Child of Mine.  I’m not sure why, I just really like it.

Out Ta Get Me Feb ’88 Live at The Ritz. I watched that when I was a kid & thought to myself…THAT IS ROCK N ROLL! that show was one of the reasons I started playing. That opening riff still gives me goosebumps!!!!

Paradise City for me

That one is my second fav. Loved listening to Slash & Izzy back in the day!

You could say a lot of things. Sweet Child O’ Mine might be the most known riff, but to pick the best riff is a serious challenge. Paradise City is really a cool riff and i have also thoght of it. Fall to pieces got a lot of emotions in it, and could easily get on a top 5. Estranged is so simple, but still so full of soul. From the new album, a lot of songs could get mentioned. Back from Cali, the laid back, pure, crunchful riff that can’t make you do anything but relax. Ghost which is a perfect opener for his new album, and Beautifu Dangerpus just to mention a few.l I have thought a lot about what could be my favorite riff, and there are 2 songs that i have had to choose between. The Nightrain-riff is one of the riffs i have listened to the most, it’s just the best, really.. But one riff i really, really, really love. It’s so bluesy and cool, that that must be my choise. Not very many know the song, but my choise is “Beggars and hangers on” it’s so cool that Slash uses his slide, and i can listen to the riff over and over again, so that’s my choise.

I would have to say the Sweet Child O Mine solo…something about that solo I love..the phrasing

Probably the intro to Jungle.  It’s simply the best opening of a rock n roll record you’ll probably ever get.  Great build, sets the table for what’s to come

Velvet Revolver
 - “She Builds Quick Machines”. Chicken picking at the end makes me feel funny

Welcome to the jungle. It’s simply one the most amazing not to mention recognizable riffs. From the first few notes you know exactly what’s coming!

“Just Like Anything” by Slash’s Snakepit from album “Ain’t Life Grand”
intro is stunning

Wow – what a tough thing to pick. So many amazing choices. I guess I’d have to say “Welcome to the Jungle” because of its staying power. I like a lot of the VR and solo stuff but “Welcome to the Jungle” still gets me every time I hear it!

The wailing “funeral” riff at the end of November Rain.  Gets me every time.

Nightrain is My favorite it’s just one of those songs that’s in your face and just rocks. It’s got that killer hook from the beginning and the way all of the parta of the song mesh is awesome just bought the stoke cd/DVD it is killer nightrain especially.

Mine is the the solo form Sahara. the mix between Slash’s smoothness, his tone, his guitar, and his intelligence on how to run chills up anyone’s spine just blends so perfectly and creates a kick ass, chilling, and inspiring solo, in my opinion 

Nightrain b/c it has soul, balls and feel!

The intro to civil war. Slash/Newman Cool Hand Luke both rebels.

“Slither”, it’s a catchy riff you cant get out of your head!

Hard to pick one, but I’d say the riffs going on behind Paradise City and the wicked solo at the end.

I could talk about various riffs … every time I think a better …… but how is one to choose, I choose ”you cold be mine ”!!!!

My favourite Slash’s riff is definitively NIGHTRAIN… trough the years I’ve listened  to all his stuff but that one allways reminds me of the best GNR and his passion to play rock and roll!!!

Hey Guys!!!
Its very hard to say which one of Slashs Riffs is the coolest Riff cause all of them rock!

But I guess I have to choose one so I`ll pick
 ”Rocket Queen”
The main riff is all you need to hear to know what Rock N Roll is all about.
The first time I listened to this Song was in June 2005 in England when I bought my Copy of Appetite for Destruction and I was blown away by this dangerous sound. I like the riff because it sounds so dangerous but without sounding too hard.
It fits totally into this song and means so much to me!
 

Paradise city for the win!!

My fav riff is Mean Bone by slash’s snakepit, i love how sound that guitar, damn so osgasmic

My favorite is song is rocket queen but I love the sound he gets from civil war! When he uses his pedal it just makes this amazing rich sound that I love to hear. So my fav is civil war!

My fave is Illegal i Song on the first VR album.That tune kicks ass !!

I’d have to go with Sweet Child of Mine, but all of them are incredible.

Nightrain………..the fuck’n best!!!

Paradise City because it’s an amazing riff, and fun to play

Sweet Child O’ Mine, because it sounds brilliant and is fun to play.

Hmmm I would have to go with….. Civil war! It’s just so unique and has a sound only slash can produce! It stands out for me!

Nighttrain!! its so chunky, its pure Rock!! The tone is perfect, gives me a shiver every single time.

Starlight i love the fuzzy sound and how its clean but distorted all at the same time!”

Love the riff to “Fall to Pieces” – every bit as good as any GnR riff

Love the riff to “Fall to Pieces” – every bit as good as any GnR riff

godfather theme?

Slash is one of my favourite guitar players, he has a unique style and sound, I love all the riffs that he made, so it’s really difficult to choose one… 
The truth is that the most important riff in my life was “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, because it was the first rock song that I liked, it let me enter to the rock music’s world, because of this song I decided to buy my first guitar, so somehow Slash changed my life… After I heard the song, I started to listen to Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Slash’s Snakepit and Slash’s collaborations. I loved songs such as “Mr. Brownstone”(I always loved the Wah Wah in this one), “Nightrain”, “Mean Bone”, “Slither”, “Watch This”, “Doctor Alibi”, etc… He can make riffs in differents styles, but when you hear his music you know who is playin’ the guitar, it’s easy to recognize. Well, I have to choose one… So…I choose “Paradise city”because is something that’s memorable, something that digs in, something that obviously has the right note selection to make something just sound attractive, It actually seems that it was written specifically to blow up your fuckin’ mind… And it does… Doesn’t it?

Voce é muito, muito bom mesmo.

The welcome to the jungle riff, becuase of the nasty distortion and catchy rythm, is awesome and always makes me go wild

Sweet Child Of Mine!!
I went to see slash at Birmingham, UK July 20! (a few days before the recorded show at Stoke)
the concert was amazing!! and as soon as he started playing the beginning riff, the whole crowd went wild, and i got goosebumps! its a freaking classic!! 
the tone, tuning, sound is just amazing!!! 

My favorite is Perfect Crime, because it’s so fucking badass! |m|

Messages By Velvet Revolver! most epic intro ever! 

Nighttrain cos it’s Awesome and technically brilliant!

My favorite riff from Slash is Slither because it is simple and raw. There are many other riffs, licks and songs that are great, Welcome to the Jungle, Nightrain, Ghost, Obsession Confession, Always on the Run (Lenny Kravitz), Sweet Child O’ Mine and on and on.

It’s pretty hard to tell but I’ll choose ‘Welcome To The Jungle’. It was the first song of his first album and he was already showing the world how brilliant he is!
Estranged, Don’t Damn Me, Speed Parade & We’re All Gonna Die (among many others) are epic as well.

Rocket Queen… Love the riff, love the song. It’s almost too hard to choose one. 

Rocket Queen… Love the riff, love the song. It’s almost too hard to choose one. 

Paradise city!

Paradise city!

Slither

Slither

‘You Could be Mine’ Riff:  Plus it’s in T2.  Sweet as…

Favourite Slash guitar riff has to be Sweet Child O Mine because it is simple and no nonsense, calming, yet powerful! The tone Slash creates, not just on Appetite but even modern day is incredible, all guitarists have tried to recreate or mimic this including me in my G N R tribute band!  Slash + Sweet Child O’Mine = Les Paul + Marshall + the ever famous Jim Dunlop Wah and MXR Chorus, simple but deadly!

Although all the riffs from Slash in his Gun’s era are iconic and sound epic, I want to go with something from his solo album. For me, I absolutely love the riff in By The Sword. It’s addictive & catchy and just makes the song what it is. Just AMAZING! ^^

It’s probably Estranged, because it gives so much of an awe to your face, you can clearly just sit back and enjoy that masterpiece….

Wow this is hard to pick one… but i think for me its the main riff to slither! always reminds me of when velvet revolver burst onto the scene with ‘contraband’. we saw a new and more raw side of slash as well as duff and matt, proving these guys were not one trick ponies that just got lucky in G’n'R, they’re kickass musicians that deserve to be in the R&R Hall of fame!. me and my band were like… F*ck yeah Slash is well and truly back in style!

also, whenever this riff comes on, you’ll see me run for my les paul to play along  ;)

Don’t Damn Me. Because it makes you wan’t to keep on keeping on m/ -.- m/

I love the “Don’t Damn Me” riff from “Use Your Illusion 1″… it’s fast, dirty, and indicative of his style.

Hard to pick a FAVORITE but i’ll say Welcome to the Jungle… OR.. .Paradise City..

Shotgun Blues, much under appreciated song with some amazingly simple but effective ROCK RIFFS!

Favorite riff is from Slither, it’s just an awesome riff that fits perfectly.

The riff from Slither is actually one of my favorite guitar tracks to play, mostly because of how the track plays with small variations on the palm muting, playing the riff on another string and then playing it on a totally different part of the neck while keeping the same melody.

Got to be the godfather theme, although there is soo many awesome riffs. How can you pick just obe from a man who will always be a kegend

Gotta be “Don’t Damn Me”…..just rocks your face right off!

Don’t Damn Me off UYI I is probably my favorite Slash riff. I always soundcheck with that riff to make sure my rig is sounding right. 

Rocket Queen was always my favorite, hands down.  But Night Train and Mr Brownstone are both monster as well.

I love the intro riff from Soma Ward City (Slash’s Snakepit). That one always gets me jumping on a cold morning

Well…it’s hard to choose what riff I like more! All the riff by Slash are exciting, they make you cry..Every time I listen a song played by this awesome guitarist I have a shiver and I go in a special world where every note is an emotion. If I have to choose probably I will say “Sweet Child o’ Mine” because while I listen the intro and I play it on my drums, I simply close my eyes and I start dreaming. Slash is simply AMAZING.

Nightrain!!! This fkin riff hypes me up everytime time and it helps me when I wake up at 5am to go to school and then to work. It fkin rocks!!! Is my all time favorite hype song.

My favorite riff of Slash is Nightrain. True rock n roll
Simply the best.
Have power and energy. 

Favorite riff is from “Promises”, cuz is one than a few that i can actually play

I say in my opinion Estranged! It just gives that shock and awe effect where you don’t want the song to end!

My favourite Slash riff has to be the intro to Estranged! The pure soul and emotion that oozzes from every note is just stunning! Its what music is all about, pulls you into another dimension and you’re left in his hands! 

There are many but on the last album I would narrow it down to 2.  Ghost just for the cool way it sounds, it just rolls off in a cool way.  And second would be Gotten, the singer is really not one of my favorite voice but the blues guitar is just awesome.

My favorite riff is Welcome to the Jungle. It was a breaktrough for that time…. 

My favority Slash’s guitar riff is the main riff of Nightrain, from AFD album. This riff have the best tone of all records that Slash made in all his years. The notes are played not very precision, but with the soul and the feeling that nobody could do except Slash himself.

My favorite Slash riff is Civil War. Probably one of the better songs and Jam packed with Wah-Wah riffs. I started playing guitar because of slash and wah helped me stand out.

My favorite riff is Sweet Child O’ Mine by Slash. It is absolutely perfect and I have never heard this one from anyone else close to the original.

NIGHTTRAIN by far! Not only is it a solid lick, the outro is still one of my all time favorites!

This is a hard pick but my very FAVORITE riff of all time by Slash is the intro to Welcome to the Jungle. Every single time that I listen to it I get goosebumps. This riff is one that defined the AFD tone along with Nightrain and it let everybody have a new perspective on Rock in the late 80′s and early 90′s. Slash plays this riff and makes it seem so easy and every time he plays it it is so flawless and amazing. As always, the rhythm and lead always work great in any GNR song because of the amazing guitar sound that Slash and Izzy get by using the greatest pedals–MXR!!!

My favorite riff of slash is the intro of locomotive ! Fast and strong…

There are so many! I’d say maybe Rocket Queen, such a sleazy guitar riff.

Sweet Child. There aren’t many riffs you could identify on just the first note alone (try it and see) , the tone, the power …iconic and makes you smile every time you hear it

Its Rocket Queen, because that riff warms me up in a way that I could spend all month listening and I wouldn’t sleep, when you hear that you can’t stay quiet, you have to dance, sing, jump, wathever passes through your mind!!

Paradise City all the way!!! 
Because it a happy song but at the same time its a very “in your face” song but not too ‘dark’.

well what can I say, slash is my hero. he has inspired me to live life and pick up the thing that has changed my life, the guitar. he has greatness almost beyond any guitarist around today and I will never have enough approval for his solos but for me it has to be the haunting ringing notes of estranged that just gives me such joy as a guitarist and a music lover, the song musically says what the lyrics are trying to say without speaking a word and shakes me to my very core, his music is just awe inspiring and has helped me through some of my darkest times. i almost feel as if i know him even though i dont because his music shows me so much. the man,the myth,the legend was a saying invented for this man and ive got nothing but admiration for him and he is and will always be my biggest idol

Nightrain because of the awesome harmony of the intro, and the kickass energy of the Rn’R riff!

“By The Sword” is my favourite. It has that great bluesy intro-riff, then a crescendo to the fine rock-part, crowned by a beautyful solo. Is there anything more to ask for? Definitely not! Well… an original copy of the cd/dvd “Made in Stoke” perhaps… )

Paradise City. One of rocks most memorable riffs, and is always associated with good times.

So you make me choose 1? Wow difficult task as you mentioned in the preview a guitar legend just might have several up his sleeve  . All in all I would have to pick  ”Good to be Alive”  from the original line-up of Snakepit great intro great solo the reason that it resonates so well with me is that I saw the live performance on Late night with David Letterman all these years ago and it was straight up in your face no bulls&%t RnFnR if you know what I am saying

There are a lot amazing songs from Guns N Roses, Slash’s Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and Slash. I can not really choose one but I’ll choose is November Rain, because it is justincredible, legendary

Best riff ever for me is the short one in “Rocket Queen” just right after the interlude just before the chorus comes back ! stunning !
It’s groovy dirty rock n’ roll and give me dancing everytime ! priceless !

also I forgot: the emotion in the crazy solos !!!! fckn great song!

This tour is VERY GOOD!UNFORTUNATELY I WILL NOT be able to go … : (I have no money …BUT I AM VERY SLASH YOUR FAN!!YOUR NUMBER 1 FAN OF BRAZIL!

Nightrain rules, live at the ritz 88, quality

Mr. Brownstone. Hands down, that riff’s just chuggin’ along and not giving a f***. So much awesome…

November Rain because there are many and i love the old school bends and long notes that many of todays current leads seem to forget while shredding their career away…Tho one can be fast and wild, sometimes the long slower bends are just so beautiful and allow the tones to be heard.

sweet child of mine,because you just need 1 second to recognize it.it´s just a music historic riff.

Got to be Sweet Child of Mine. Gives me goosebumps everytime. Second choice, Slither. Have it on every morning on the way to work, always wakes me up!!

I think my favorite riff is probably the rythm part of “Locomotive” because it’s so hypnotic and well-constructed. As a guitarist, it’s a very a hard riff to play. Besides, For those who knows Slash, you can’t think of somebody else when you listen to it. It’s like a riff-signature for me.

My favorite riff by slash, ever, is the riff from rocket queen. not the intro riff that he does with the bass, but the outro riff, with the bombastic sounding power chords, interjected with a bluesy little flourish of the fingers. every time i hear that riff i become overwhelmed with joy and just can’t help but dance and air guitar like a crazy person

My favorite Slash guitar riff is the one on Fall To Pieces..i came trought a hard time listening to that..plus it helped me to improve my guitar tune and feeling A LOT..

It’s a REALLY awasome..i love all his riffs..but this one is so underated..

Paradise City – Rock’n'Roll perfection. 

civil war solo with the wah. It was the first thing i played when i got my cry baby!

Although all of Slash’s riffs are pretty sick, along with his unique tone and playing style i think i have to say my favorite one is the riff in the Guns N’ Roses song Dont Damn Me. Just because of its raunchy nature and the song has a nice solo to add to it. Also the outro is great because he breaks the riff down to the root notes and it just turns out really nice.

Appetite is the reason I picked up a guitar.  To me that album is Rock ‘N Roll.  So at first I thought I was definitely going to pick a riff from that album – something like the Nightrain intro, or the end of Rocket Queen…but instead decided on the intro riff for Set Me Free.  Hearing it for the first time after all the hype of a new band with most of GnR which eventually would be Velvet Revolver was like hearing the intro to the return of Rock ‘N Roll. 

my michelle! no doubts about it. when that main dirty riff kicks in, brains are melted. such a brilliant contrast from the clean intro to the main riff. its incredible. 

At this point it’s Ghost, just because it’s in my head all the time and it’s really cool to play.

Sooo many!! Watch this off slash is onea those plug in and jam tunes that will never get old along with all the others! One of my fab new slash tunes…

Favorite Guitar Riff Has To Be The Nightrain Intro Because It Really Defines Slash’s Guitar Tone & It Works For Me To Find His Tone R&F’NR ((;

My favorite riff is sweet child o’ mine’, because the slash puts his soul in music and she is very good

It’s very hard to pick your “One favourite Guitar Riff” from Slash! There are so many that are so good and all suit the songs. I would have to say the build up of the solo in Sweet Child O’ Mine when it hits the Am and the drums hit every quarter note, then hits the Em and man that is just a massive statement while the guitar is talking to you. Whilst it has been over played for so many years now, I still think its the best studio recorded solo he has done. Just because of the way it talks to you. And you cannot beat the sound of that Derrig and the original Appetite sound. My other equal favourite would have the be the version of Nightrain played on Live at the Ritz back in the 80′s. The variation of the solo’s on that night were freaking awesome. Oh and the solo he played on Conan and Conan was versing Jack Black on the guitar, that just screamed F**king Star!

Sweet Child O ‘Mine pourquoi tout simplement car Slash est le meilleur guitariste au monde !!!!!!! Ctete chansosn est ma préfèré elle a bercer toute ma jeunesse !!!

Welcome to the Jungle…  the intro gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it… it sets the tone for the rest of the song…

Well it’s difficult because obviously there are so many to choose from, that’s why this is a contest eh?
I would have to pick the song from the last solo album, “Were all gonna die”, it just gets me ready for the day, had it as my alarm for a bit but realized that it gave me too much energy! So simple, so incredible, slash forever.

how can you pick one…? i mean all of them are classics. at the moment i’d have to say double talkin’ jive. theres so much energy and passion in that song. love it.

Sweet child for me simply because a piece of music it has moved me deeply for so long..it still moves me…..how many songs can do that for year after year. sheer genius !

Estranged, this riff is powerfull!!

Ok Appetite, the MUST HAVE CD, but Mean Bone, Been There Lately, Serial Killer, and why not, Be The Ball are insane riffs. Snakepit are for me, the hardest stuff that Slash made on his career, so far Every time i listen those tracks my brain explode!

Slash is a very talented and intelligent musician and I’ve enjoyed listening to his choice of playing. It’s hard to decide on just one favorite riff, but I’ll have to say “Paradise City”… it doesn’t matter where you are, who you’re with and what mood you may be in, you hear that and it just makes you want to turn it up all the way! Love his music.

So many classic hits/riffs from Guns N Roses, but after hearing the steam of Live at Stoke, it has to be “Been There Lately” by the Snakepit for me at the moment. It’s effing hard to play too!

Difficult choosing one riff. I love all of them!  but there is one  when I hear it leaves me spellbound, completely paralyzed, like the calm before the storm, and it’s the intro riff of “Sweet Child O’Mine”. It’s very special for me.

beautiful dangerous and why i love it cause it sounds like a train wreck

For me the best riff is of the song Slither, because I feel the way I passed all the sound energy that has such brutal of Slash. It really drives me crazy and makes me want to jump in and enjoy like a madman. Greetings from Santiago, Chile:)!

Favorite Guitar Riff Has To Be The Nightrain Intro Because It Really Defines Slash’s Guitar Tone & It Works For Me To Find His Tone R&F’NR ((;

Estranged because no one can even try to reach similar guitar sound like Slash did.

sweet child of mine cause its my grandsons favorourite and even tho he is only 8 he plays it over and over again and i never get tired of listening to it. he has put slash’s cry baby wah peddle on his christmas list too! he was thrilled when we came to see slash at stoke that slash played it along with paradise city.

Estranged. Nothing more, nothing less…

Don’t Damn Me. That’s the one for me. But iff two people play it together it won’t work. The Job of Izzy Stradlin is to mellow it down to make it just right. Slash’s sound is killer. I like the brakes in the song and the different kind of playing of the chorus. I don’t think they even remember recording it. It sounds like the first or second take. boom! ready! next.

My favourite riff from Slash is the Main Riff of “Back from Cali” …
I’m a huge AC/DC fan and one of my nearest friends, told me to listen to Slash’s new record (in 2010). So i got the album and started listening through it, but stopped right at “Back from Cali”. It got that kind of sound like Angus Young has it on “Rock ‘n Roll ain’t Noise Pollution” and it really kicked me, when Slash got to the small blues solo, which is not that impressive, technically, but has the special feel that Slash has running through his veins.

Yours Roo

It’s hard to pick one as there are so many. Depends on mood as well. But the favorite is probably Estranged. It’s amazing how Slash managed put so much emotion into that song with a ‘single’ guitar and his riffs. Fantastic…

‘Coma’, simply because it’s such an ‘in your face’ riff and coupled with Duff’s bass lick, it’s so heavy it really hits you hard!

My favorite is probably from Bad Obsession on Use Your Illusion (can’t recall which of the two offhand, but I think it was II).  That hard buzzsawy sound is what made me pick up the guitar.

double talking jive gotta be just a in your face riff

It’s hard to say, but it’s probably Sweet Child o’ Mine, because Slash put his soul in this song, in ghe first time that I listened it, I think “this song is very, very brilliant” and I nevermore stopped to listen it. Slash is the number one of the guitarists in all the world.

It’s a very difficult choice!! I like all of them! But, as I have to decide for one, I’ll pick one from his solo album….I would say Back from Cali riff!! It is just awseome!! It has a lot of “feeling” and it brings back a lot of musical influences that made Slash what he is….it is just “raw” Slash music!! Just perfect!!   

It’s gotta be the intro riff to “Starlight.” It’s such a change of pace from the rest of the album.  So pretty and mellow, ringing through until it eventually builds up gets nice and heavy!

The intro to Sweet Child ‘O Mine. I don’t care how cliche’ that is. I was thirteen the first time I ever heard it and when I did, I made up my mind right then and there that I wanted an electric guitar and I wanted to play rock n roll like that. That same year, I got my first electric guitar and I’ve been playing for 22 years. Every time I hear that riff, I am instantly transported back to that time and place where I heard it the first time and it makes me smile and think about good times. All of my musical journeys, successes and failures, all started with that riff. 

Nighttrain and Estranged, It’s just . ….. amazing

My favourite riff of all times is Welcome to the jungle. It is straight and powerful like a punch in your stomach!!!!! It is the opening of one of the greatest albums ever made in rock’n'roll history!!!!! Just saying “Hey, this is Guns’n'Roses and you can like it or not, but it’s us, hard and pure!!!!!”

Favorite one is Nightrain ! Rythm is simply but efficient and solos are so great and amazing, shared with all his rythm guitarist player and each time a pleasure for him and his audience ! Love it so much ! At least on my ipod twice a day !

my fav is the ‘by the sword’ intro riff, so simple and yet so amazing

My favorite Slash riff is Don´t Damn Me, it´s so heavy and powerful.

The intro to sweet child O mine because each time I listen to it  I get carried away to keep on listening to slash’s album over and over again!

I would have to go with sweet child o’ mine. It’s a riff that is known by so many people and will go down into one of the most memorable rock riffs of all time. It’ll be played through generations and will never be forgotten.

My favourite riff?? Sweet Child O’ Mine.. Why? The riff says everithing.. Apart from this, if I hadn’t heard this song I would never have played guitar. Thank you so much Slash!!

Intro riff to Mr. brownstone. All that needs to be said is that is a kick ass tune.

Beggars & Hangers On, the slide on it rocks

by the sword has to b my favorite riff of all time, when i first heard the riff Slash and Gibson had just released his sig guitars. I was lucky enough to get one of the USA model. It plays like a dream and i play it every day. i played that riff over and over when the single was released it was surprised to say the least awesome for sure Rock on Fuckers

Sweet Child o’ Mine!!
Simply because it was the first song I heard and that totally changed my mind both musically and in relation to the world, for me to listen to Sweet Child o’ Mine and later the other songs of GN’R and other Slash’s projects was something that opened my mind to the world!

My favorite guitar riff is the chorus of Nightrain because of its bluesy & rock sound, simple but effective, all Slash in one riff

Paradise city. Bad ass.

It’s hard to decide there’s so many, but Paradise City, is most favorite.

For me Nightrain works awesome, first struck on the Guitar and will get your attention on the spot and waiting for more…and for sure you’re going to get more..!!
a lot of favorites and really hard to pick just only one. but always something special is everytime Slash use his wha pedal like in the Sweet Child O ‘mine solo, captivating with full of energy. just simple and incredible!

dont dam me love it

Paradise City! Whenever you hear it, it lifts your mood! It makes me think of summer and everybody in a good mood having a good time! And I also love the bit of lead before the vocals start. First time I heard it it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

NOvember rain solos 1,2 and also double talkin jive solo part

its a difficult choice but im going to say speed parade because its so raw and heavy its completly diffrent from the cruchy night train and out ta get me that he did on AFD

its a difficult choice but im going to say speed parade because its so raw and heavy its completly diffrent from the cruchy night train and out ta get me that he did on AFD

My favorite riff is the most famous riff from sweet child o’ mine, I have been chosen this song because one reason,
before i knew guns n roses 3 years ago, and before i started playing guitar by myself, i always heard this riff in the radio or the TV or somewhere and it stuned me, and always wanted to know what the name of this song and when I discover and start to hear GN’R this is the time I started to play, slash is my favorite guitarist because I regard that because of him and his AMAZING songs,solos and riffs I actually stated to rock!!!

The opening riff from Beggars and hangers on. It’s the absolute perfect mixture of rock and blues.No one can make a guitar sing the way Slash does, and that riff especially, is bluesy, and raunchy, and gritty.It shows that a bunch of effects aren’t neccesary for a fantastic sound.

This is probably the hardest thing on earth, if not impossible. Every Slash riff is different, unique, amazing, awesome. Some of my favorite songs to play will be Estranged, Sweet Child, Coma, Paradise City(GNR Favorite), Nothing to Say(Slash Favorite), Ghost, Back off Bitch, Double talkin’ Jive, Nightrain, November Rain and many many more! The AFD Tone along with Nightrain is always a fucking beast! Just simply awesome! That sound cannot be compared with any tone, and can not be used by anyone else than Slash. All his solos, made or improvised, are just always working. 

Slash is, have always been, and will always be my all time idol, both as guitarist, but also as a person, and a hero. 

/Alexander Vinderslev

My favorite is the rif played in Mr. Brownstone, it sure is fucking awesome!

Thee are so many riffs from Slash which I love. SCOM is a classic, estranged is magical, Monkey Chow is pure hardrock, paradise is so memorable, all of those riffs have something awesome.

if you close your eyes and listen to the estranged solo, then you will see, how beautiful life could be!

Set Me Free, because it was so great to hear something new from him, it had been a couple of years when this song appeared on The Hulk soundtrack in ’03, and I had been worried about his health problems.  It was exciting that he was back playing with Duff and Matt while doing something completely new with Scott.

Paradise city is my favourite Slash guitar riff. It’s a pure rock song! Fuckin’ riff and amazing solo!

Main riff of Snakepit’s Been there Lately.

It’s so balls-out, it’s not even funny.

My favorite Slash riff is Back From Cali, because it is just so cool and simple that only someone as amazing as Slash could pull it off and turn it into the amazing song that it is.

Slash is one of the greatest when it comes to writing riffs, but I would have to say “Nightrain”. To me it symbolizes Slash’s raw hard rock style. It is completely unique and original but still very rock n’ roll. My first introduction to Slash and rock music was “Welcome to the Jungle”, which is amazing in its own right, but “Nightrain” really taught me alot about guitar when I was first learning to play. From the tone to the main riff to the solos. It’s still one of those songs that are best to listen to when cranked up.

Wow its hard cuz his riffs are th best rocking riffs ever made, but my favorite is Ghost, its an unique riff wich from me its the new Slash , still classic  but innovative, its the Slash´s Rock n Roll, no GNR no Snakepit, Just Slash, the best hard rocking player! Cant whait for the new album , i kwon its gonna be awesome! 

Estranged. I love it as much now as I did 20 years ago. It has such melody, is so emotive and possibly most importantly is original and different to anything else I know of – a masterpiece of a guitar part in a masterpiece of a song. No wonder Slash got a special thanks from Axl in the credits!

My favorite has to be the main verse riff from Locomotive. Do you need to ask me why! Ok I will tell you. Everytime I hear it my heart explodes out of my chest, my bones shatter and I thank life for letting me live in the era of Slash! The riff just builds up momentum, just like a locomotive and you ain’t going to stop it once it gets going!

Sweet Child O Mine solo when slash kicks in the wah has to be one of the most powerful of all of slash’s riffs. The first time i ever heard that part all I could think was holy shit….

As much as I love the GN’R days, riffs, and the whole nine yards, one of my favorite Slash riffs, by far, is “Doin’ Fine.”  It’s just one of those feel-good songs, that you can’t help but crank the volume up on when it pops up on the iPod.  Lord knows I’ve had enough of my “doin’ fine” moments in my younger days.  :)

I Love all of his riffs.  My Favorite Is Nightrain.

Hard choice but probably Estranged,just a Killer-Riff, nothing to say

The riff from Mr.Brownstone. That riff, no matter how many times I listen to it, goes through me the same way every time! More than any other riff, it just grooves and jerks so beautifully with a little funk thrown in. I think it’s the essence of him.

Gotten! Because the song means so much and I can relate to it, which just hits the… “what a song” switch when I hear it and I have to turn it up. Its not one of his bigger, rocking tunes but It shows again how versatile slash’s playing is. He can make the guitar sing the words.

That is an impossible question to answer, far too many.  It all depends on what mood I’m in.  Lately, my favorite riff from Slash would be Soma City Ward from his Snakepit days.  That band was INSANELY underrated!  And that riff in particular has such a killer, driving, almost funky groove, plus its super fun to play.  Damn you Dunlop and Slash for distracting me.  I’m supposed to be working here and now all I can think about is playing guitar! =)

I love the riff from “Locomotive” and its hard charging, unrelenting, heavy metal momentum!

Mr Brownstone because it is the perfect link between blues to heavy rock n’ roll.
The whole song is just pure pleasure to play because it feels good.
This might be because of slash’s unique talent to insert groove in a rock n’ roll song.
And music is all about groove.
Mr Brownstone is definitely a

Paradise City.. Simply cool and powerfully..

Paradise City. The blues and rock combined, perfect!

Welcome to the Jungle is my favorite.  From the opening delay to the actual riff gets you so fired up and ready to explode.  Although, it’s still tough to nail down any one favorite from a riff-meister like Slash.

ALMOST EVERYTHING! From “Back From Cali” to “You Could Be Mine”

Nighttrain intro!!  The way Slash interacts with Izzy’s guitar on the intro is prime realstate. 

Well right now it might be from Velvet Revolver with Slither but Starlight, Beautiful Dangerous, Die By The Sword are close.  Of course I like GNR but VR and Slash solo are where I’m at right now.

My Michelle!
Makes you believe it’s a smooth ballad
Rocks your ass instead!

“Always on the run” from Lenny Kravitz’s “Mama Said” album…………Kravitz hasn’t been that close to cool before or since…
Slash ripped up “Field of Joy” on that record as well….wish he’d play more Mockingbird’s, it was his first guitar, they look and sound cool and we can actually afford one!!!

i would half to say nighttrain is my favorite riff, it captures slash’s tone perfectly in that one riff. It is a great rock riff and is one of his most recognizable and signature riffs. Its just pure rock.

This is quite hard but I will say “Slither” just rocks and it was great to hear him ripping it up again after not hearing any new riffs for a while

I would have to say the intro to Sweet Child O’ Mine. It’s always been my favorite song and the intro is just so amazing and hypnotic it holds your attention and takes you away to that special place.

Paradise City: because it feels like taking people to the real paradise on mind.

welcome to the jungle.  i know it’s an old song.  but it’s my favorite.  being also from los angeles it is a jungle sometimes in hollywood.  i feel that the song was & still an anthem.  i love the lyrics & music.  the introduction riff tells you your starting into the perfect rock world.  the second riif is in the middle after the druming & slash does this slide guitar bit & then plays.  the third riff is at the end of the song with him playing the guitar.  this record is to me the greatest hard rock song ever made with an album the greatest hard rock album ever made & i’m sorry it never got more awards & recognition.  for a new band with a young gutiarist like slash, at only 21 he is totally awesome.  his knowledge of guitars & products plus his ability as a gutiarist is brillant.  he deserves all the prase he gets from guitar magazines, espically being so devoted to his craft.  he is also a nice person & really cares about the fans.   by the way there is a great instrumental song on the slash album called watch this dave.  great playing there.  i’m not a musician so i don’t know what else to say.  i’m just glad that slash is alive & well to enjoy the fruits of his labor.  he’s got it where most don’t.  thanks       cathye o.     p. s. gnr (the old band is my favorite band with slash being my favorite person.  i ‘m sorry the band broke up.

ROCKET QUEEN it just gives you a good vibe 

paradise city take me down to the paradise city where the girls are fat an got big tittys. hahahah make you just wanna run in circles an rock your head an jump an just rock n fucking roll  rnfr since1990 i was in my moms belly rocking to gnr haha

I would have to say the intro to Sweet Child O’ Mine.It’s always been my favorite song and the intro is just so amazing and hypnotic it holds your attention and takes you away to that special place.

has to be sweet child o mine.
i’m not a guitarist so i can’t say exactly why but everytime i hear the opening to that song i just have to crank it up. it just has a beautiful sound, and i’ve heard other people try to play it but no one comes close to slash.

By the sword!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always on the run, funky as hell.

if you use one that he created it’s sweet child of mines. if you asks about what he plays in concerts, it’s the godfather theme. it was is amazing.

As much as i love the punchiness of Nightrain i’m gonna go with MR BROWNSTONE, the groove is just quality and that wah intro sets the whole thing up fantastically. Great riff, rounded off with a “yowsa”, good stuff. ;D

Slither

Aaah what a question.. and pretty impossible to answer! The thing is; Slash is a riff-master so naturally they are all Rn’Fn’R Hall of Fame status – Rocket Queen, Sweet Child, Coma, By the Sword, Beautif… (too many to say) BUT I remember the first time I listened to Welcome to the Jungle, my jaw dropped and was so in the zone – the way it holds on then starts letting go and gains momentum to that ingenius riff – the kind of one which makes me think ‘why the HELL didn’t I think of that?!’ so my final answer: Welcome to … Paradise Ci.. Rocket.. ugh.

I love it all… I just let go and become one with every note of the riff…. The more intense the riff the better i like it…. Better than sex,Slash.

Don’t Cry, technique simplicity and pure emotion on that solo !

I love it all….I just let go and become one with every note of the riff…. The more intense the riff the better I like it… Better than sex, Slash….

the ghost, because its the best way to start an album R&FN’R!

WTF! Choose the best riff from slash is very difficult, but my favorite is Paradise City, it is amazing how a song can be so perfect! Something that, from my point of view characterizes slash is that starts with riff “quiet” and suddenly boom! Exploits! Little by little starts to increase the speed achieving notes surprisingly good! By lifting the mood, shake the soul in the most profound! Simply going crazy to all the cursed world.

“Back from Cali” is an awesome, bluesy-rock riff, with an awesome “classic” Slash solo…

There are obviously many many amazing riffs from the GnR, VR, and Slash’s Snakepit days too, but “Back from Cali” is definitely one of my current favorites!

For sure it has to be Rocket Queen for me.  Sounds so simple but such an infectious groove to that everyone seems to sway to it.  No matter what their background or interest.

Rocket Queen,Think About you,Anything Goes,Dust N’ Bones,Civil War,Bad Apples,Pretty tied Up,Don’t Damn Me,Coma,Estranged,Good to be Alive,Back & Forth again,My mama Said(with Lenny Kravitz),Mean Bone,Back to the Moment,Serial Killer,Do it for the Kids,Spectacle,Headspace,By the Sword,Promise,Starlight……… Oh man!!  I can be here writing a Testament with all the riffs and solos played by Slash!!
It is very hard to Chose your favorite riff…….. and it apply the same when it comes to chose your favorite Dunlop Pedal….
MXR Chorus,74 Vintage Phase 90,MXR Tremolo,Any Dunlop Wah-Wah,MXR Smart gate….. they are Great!!

You wanna sound like the man??  Do yourself a favor an buy a couple of Dunlop Pedals….. you won’t regret it!!…….
I didn’t!!……..Love my Dunlop Gear…….. cheers everyone!!

Sweet Child has got to be my favourite, best use of the pentanic scale ever… Awesome

beggars and hangers on for sure, starting out all sloppy and bluesy and then rips it up 

Or even the pentatonic scale…

speed parade, its so heavy and almost thrashy so energetic and powerful! snakepit rocks

My favorite one must be Paradise City’s intro. It’s so beautiful and powerful, when you hear the first chord you know what you’re gonna get! Just pure Rock N’ Fuckin’ Roll. 

Locomotive is one of my favourite riffs though the question is tricky, as he is the master of the catchy riff. I like locomotive as it has a driving energy and is accompanied by some sharp soloing and represents a very expressive style of playing. All that said, I will most likely change my mind to another riff tomorrow! Thank you Slash for the soul.

Paradise City, it’s simply amazing!

It is very hard to pick my favorite slash riff because I like everything Slash has done but if I had to pick one I would say welcome to the jungle beacuse that was the first time I seen Slash, live at the ritz concert on youtube and thought it was he amazing.  after that I was inspired to pick up the guitar and Slash is the reason I play guitar

Rocket Queen, Nightrain, Mr. Brownstone, Back from Cali, Promise…Too many! But that’s good..

Sweet child o’mine solo is the best one. It has the power and melancholy that the song needs.

My favorite Slash riff has always been the main riff from the Snakepit’s “Shine”. Slash is a master of the wah pedal, and that riff proves it. Usually the wah pedal used for a riff rather than a solo is sloppy, and on no other occasion have I heard a riff use the wah pedal so smoothly. It’s a classic rock n roll sound, heavy, but not too heavy, and just the right amount of bad-ass. Ain’t Life Grand is undoubtedly one of Slash’s best records, because of how in-your-face the guitars are. Shine starts off with a bang and never lets down.

nightrain kik ass song + alot of fun to play

GHOST. man that riff fucking kicks ass. To me ghost is one of the best/technical/magical/RNFR riffs ever made. Slash is a huge rock and roll figure to me and I think the song ghost represents his whole personality the best. When i was watching slash live ghost was his opening track and man it gave me fucking goosebumps. Seeing an icon in front of you playing a magical riff with talent like myles kennedy on vocals blowed my fucking mind. so ghost is my favourite just because of the image and aura it creates.

Nightrain! Its just pure rock. Great tone and awesome tune, puts me right into rock party mood. 

The solos in November Rain, for the way they build the emotion

Ain ‘ t Life Grand: Slash’ s Snakepit: Great Riff and style: Rests in my head.

This is hard, because all of the riffs are so f*cking AWESOME! I have to say my favorite is estranged, slash’s emotion while playing is indescribable.The bend, the solo, all of it is just so beautiful and AWESOME! Slash is my idol and forever will be, ROCK LIVES FOREVER. ../

I have been a huge fan of Slash for many years and inspired by him, I respect his work very much and hope to see him live at least once before I die. But to answer this hard to choose question I’d have to say my favorite riff is Sweet Child o’ Mine, because that intro was what got me into playing guitar, opened my mind music wise and completly changed my life.

slither it just plainle kicks ass

My favorite GNR song in which Slash played during Farm Aid IV in 1990 called Down on the Farm.  How to play under pressure, Slash spit on the Fat Redneck giving him a hard time I believe shaking his fist at him like he was going to beat him up.  And I just love the whole song from beginning to end, and of course the riff from Slash.  Always loud and proud brother.

Civil War or The Garden.  INCREDIBLE guitar tone.

favorite slash riff is probably the riff for nighttrain! that song gets me puuummmpppeeedddd

My favorite Slash riff has to be ‘Beggars and Hangers On’…it’s such a groovy, sleazy, raunchy sounding slide riff that just exemplifies the kind of effortless taste and talent that Slash has in spades. As much as I love everything GNR, it’s a little difficult to discern exactly who wrote what (I know Izzy wrote quite a few riffs as well).

Sweet Child O Mine But This SOng have a special sound, in the solo use many effects  all of this exelent, with this awsome Cry baby Slash, this songs never gonna die but have a special feeling and a exelelent sound , it sound like part jazz and rock … is speciall.. all time we have this in the head and the hard … 

Slash is one of my favourite guitar players, he has a unique style and sound, I love all the riffs that he made, so it’s really difficult to choose one… 
The truth is that the most important riff in my life was “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, because it was the first rock song that I liked, it let me enter to the rock music’s world, because of this song I decided to buy my first guitar, so somehow Slash changed my life… After I heard the song, I started to listen to Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Slash’s Snakepit and Slash’s collaborations. I loved songs such as “Mr. Brownstone”(I always loved the Wah Wah in this one), “Nightrain”, “Mean Bone”, “Slither”, “Watch This”, “Doctor Alibi”, etc… He can make riffs in differents styles, but when you hear his music you know who is playin’ the guitar, it’s easy to recognize. Well, I have to choose one… So…I choose “Paradise city”because is something that’s memorable, something that digs in, something that obviously has the right note selection to make something just sound attractive, It actually seems that it was written specifically to blow up your fuckin’ mind… And it does… Doesn’t it?

good call! Shine is awesome!!

My personal fav is definitely Sweet Child O’ Mine. I just started learning it a couple of weeks ago and I’m trying to perfect it. I would love to win this for my boyfriend who is a bigger fan of Slash than I am. He grew up listening to him, so this would be such an awesome win for him!

My favorite riff has to be paradise city. The song has so much enrgy it is incredible. I just love the way it goes from blazing to melodic soloing.

I am not talking about technique, it’s not about playin’ the correct notes… It’s about the feelin’… Actually, he is a fucking genious, he proved it.

Well, I have to choose one… So…

I choose “Paradise city”, because is something that’s memorable (it has the energy of the old Guns N’ Roses), it’s something that digs in, something that obviously has the right note selection to make it just sound attractive, It actually seems that it was written specifically to blow up your fuckin’ mind… And it does… Doesn’t it?

I think it would have to be Sweet Child O’ Mine, as generic as that seems to say. There’s a reason it’s one of the most recognisable riffs in guitar history, and the solo is mind blowing. Alexi Laiho from Children of Bodom said in an interview that a solo should only be there if it adds something, and when you see people singing along to their favourite solos, it shows how well they fit the song. For me, the Sweet Child O’ Mine solo is exactly that; people know every note to it, and that’s what soloing’s all about!

Night Train….energy and tone are awesome.

Paradise City, because is fucking huge, heavy and every time I listen to it makes me go crazy…!!!! and I just wanna dance like a fucking lunatic…. ;0)

One of my fav Slash riffs is definitely the main intro and lead part to Ghost off his solo record.
I was a bit cautious of the Solo record, it was definitely one of those moments where I worried that he’d drift from his roots and do something that would dissapoint.
I put the CD in and pressed play.
I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy as when I heard that opening lick and thought “fuck, this shit’s going to be amazing.”

SHINE something bout that riff cuts right through you

Rocket Queen!!!  Been There Lately!

…plus about 50 others which i don’t have the time to name….

It has to be the opening riff to sweet child, As soon as the riff starts people go crazy. That riff is what i started playing guitar for and it still makes every part of me come alive when i hear it.

And The NOVEMBER RAIN Solos are awsomesss! this go right to the heart , slash riffs enter on your mind and you never forget it , not only for the composition also the feeling ! really i cant say one into all riffs but all are great in special i have in my mind november rain and sweet child o mine but all are exelent , i forget tha paradice city is my  favorite song hafe a very awsome riffs not difficult but have felling in all notes 

Ain’t It Fun.  Enough said.

Nightrain!
A song that defines slashs style, tone and soul!

There are so many classic Slash riffs, but my favourite has to be “”Nightrain”. That was the song that got me in the going-out/party mood for years, and it still brings back debauched memories every time I hear it. And the TONE may be my fave off that album, which is really saying something since AFD hasn’t a single guitar tone that’s any less than stellar.

My favourite Slash riff is and will always be Nightrain.It is hard, we can feel the anger and the motherfuckin’ groove coming out of these notes. We can also feel the importance of the wah pedal on this song.It gives the rock n roll depth that everyone is searching in a rock song. Long life to rock n roll and to Dunlop by giving me the chance to win one of those prices!!!

Sweet Child O’ Mine contains my favorite Slash riff.  It is classic, quintessential Slash.

“Mean Bone” it epitomises what rock and roll is. Simple, raw and effective. A bunch of teenage kids could play the song in a crappy back street pub and still get that true rock n roll feeling as if standing infront of millions. That’s what true rock n roll is and slash can create that intense feeling with such a simple riff. Effortless and effective…

Estranged for sure because it just really opens my mind!

Paradise city is my favorite riff for sure! It’s a cool riff on the original record and the solo record!

My favorite Riff would have to be the entire song Rocket queen and well also my michele so easy to play but yet simple does not mean it is not effective.

I could not agree with you more. Miss that energy of the 80′s GNR and the fact that it can’t be duplicated due to the amp that was used on it was taken back.

Would probably go with the opening riff to You Could Be Mine. It’s one of his best riffs and his tone is so just so unique to his playing style.

I love everything about Rocket Queen. The main riff at the beginning is really powerful but it’s also something that can really make you move.Then, about 3:30 into the song, the guitar part changes in a way that fits the change of lyrics perfectly. It’s a bit softer and more melodic and overall, just beautiful.

m/m/ fav. been there lately or superhuman m/m/

Slash, my favorite ever idol, unique style, unique presence that gives us fans the gig to love every riff and every new song more and more. My favorite riff all time is Sweet child of Mine, but the one I choose is Nightrain, because I really felt the music deep, has I can´t live one day with out hearing at least a couple os slash´s song, I live, sleep and eat music, cuz its a part of my life, composing and playing, but slash was a big inspiration for my life. I also enjoyed “Pieces” a lot and “Paradise city” where we encounter slash inner expression, he totally rocks. Rock n´fucking roll

Starlight. The way the verse riff slightly mimcs the intro riff to the song.

I’d have to say my favorite Slash riff is “Welcome To The Jungle”. The song had brought up an interest in rock & roll for me and allowed me to improve my guitar skills.

Shine. Also Sweet Child O Mine and Mr Brownstone. And the obvious, the final riff of November Rain.

Gotta go with Sweet Child o Mine.  It starts off simple, melodic. It adds to the song instead of overwhelming the song.  It gets heavier, and heavier, still.  But then it pulls all the way back.  It’s sparse.  It never becomes too much, it’s totally under control.  It just defines one of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time.  

Beggars & Hangers is definetly the number 1 on my list, with that magic slide that takes you….and then…..explodes my brain!!! It’s awesome!!!

Soma City Ward from Slash’s Snakepit. It’s fun to play.

there are so many riffs its very hard to pick just one,from the classics like( welcome to the jungle)(sweet child)(mamma kin has a  kind of punk/rock sound)(used to love her) there all great,if i could only listen to just one of slash’es riffs i’d have to chose all of them.

The outtro solo in Paridise City.  Its so fast and smooth.  All of Slash’s work is great to listen to, but this is my favorite

I recently saw Slash and Myles perform together in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By far the greatest show I’ve been too and that’s saying a lot considering I’ve seen many other great guitarists. Slash can play anything and Myles can sing any song so the two performing together was a real treat.

There are so many riffs Slash is known for but the one that stands out to me the most is one of the most well known songs of all time “Sweet Child O’ Mine”. Slash may have other songs with more difficult, impressive solos but that isn’t always the key to having a historical lick. It’s simple in its composition but still mind blowing.

I was privileged to see this song performed by Slash with Guns N’ Roses, then at an Alter Bridge concert Myles Kennedy covered the song, and then most recently I got see Myles sing the song again while performing with the original creator of the masterpiece Mister Slash.

Sweet Child of Mine

Welcome to the Jungle: It would be harder to come up with a better riff from the 80′s than that intro. You always perk up when you hear it

For me Sweet Child O’ Mine has to be it. From the instant it hits your soul, you know your going to Rock!

Even though it is extremly hard to pick a favourite out of all of the briliant riffs Slash has come up with over his incredable carrer, I’m going to chose Sweet Child o’ Mine.  This riff is my favourite because of the story behind it of how Slash was messing around on his guitar comeing up with cool ways to warm up and practice scales or whatever, and that’s what he cae up with, then all of the oter guys in GN’R were like, keep playin that and the song was born.  And lets face it, that guitar solo is honestly beautiful, and i don’t normally use the word beautiful. 

Ghost it rocks!!!!

Rocket Queen has to be my favorite riff because of how raw that song is and just puts me in the zone before I run in a race

el mejor riff es el de november rain…sweet childo mine….la verdad es que todas las canciones de guns…para mi son excelentes y me hacen recordar gran parte de mi adolescencia donde sus canciones me sirvieron de refugio en una etapa dificil de mi vida ,gracias SLASH….GRACIAS GNR

I’ll aways be a fool for Appetite for Destruction: The opening riff from Mr. Brownstone is just so completely drenched in cool, with that old-school Bo Didley feel and great sensability…. and when the whole band kicks in it’s very powerful.

 ”Estranged” is my favorite out of all his riffs because ok, we all know he is amongst the greatest guitar players of all time. unique sound, exquisite technique, ageless talent and passion that doesn’t wear off. However what he achieved in “Estranged” was, i think, his greatest creation. He had to make a riff for a song that axl wrote, a very intimate, and personal song, that was already amazing even if it was played just by the piano. He managed to take sth great and transform it into sth beyond perfect. I honestly don’t know how a man can do sth like this, unless he applies himself and his entire personality right to the core of the existing song. As a result we are very lucky to have that masterpiece. Not often does someone hear songs that let music flow through his/her entire body, let alone having that happening every single time you listen to it.

I love the way he “Slash’s” the Godfather theme,
It sounds awesome live.

Saul you are the shit man! We went to west Hollywood elem at the same time. Also used to hang out  at Valdez guitar shop when it was on Santa Monica… Anyway   The intro to welcome.    Brownstone….   Lower (Snakepit)   Back to Cali…..  Dude you rock LONG LIVE HOLLYWOOD MY BROTHER!!!!!

Ain’t Life Grand. It sounds like a strip tease song!!

Beggars and Hangers-On.

That riff is completely genius. The drop-d tuning makes it all the more better, and once the distortion kicks in, it’s pure gold. The first minute is completely genius. The slide guitar is completely unique and a powerful force in it’s own way. 

All in all, I would have to say that the riff for Beggars and Hangers-On is my favorite Slash riff. 

Whithout a doubt, my favorite slash riff (and my favorite riff of all time) would have to be Paradise City. It’s dirty, sexy, memorable and it makes you want to jump off the walls. It’s everything you want in a great rock n’ roll riff.

My favorite riff  by far is Rocket Queen…its so fkng sexy, nasty and cool, it makes me want to……rock my brains out!!!!!!!

All Rocket Queen solos. Seems to explain the depth and variety of his expression through the guitar as much or more than all the others. That being said it is a hard choice, like chosing a favorite child. They are all head and shoulders above most other guitarist out there. Slash’s work has soul as well as credible technique and style.

hmmmm Paradise City because its so free-flowing and effortless but you get the feeling it was made to sound that way and wasn’t actually effortless- perfectly crafted.

I’ll keep this short and sweet: Paradise City. Just amazing and instantly recognizable. ‘Nuff said. 

Welcome to the Jungle, of course!!  Because it’s epic!!

gotta love the riff in ‘ghost’ before the guitar solo. so funky and gets your head banging everytime Rn’Fn’R!

Paradise City riff, powerful and straight to your head.

My Michelle! Great tone and riff from AFD.

Which Slash riff is my absolute favourite? Well, My life is modelled around old guns ‘n’ roses, because GNR is more than a band to some fans. It’s a way of life. “appetite for destruction” has been and always will be my bible. And therefore, my personal favourite Riff from “the dude with the snakes” has GOT to be Mr. brownstone. NOTHING is as fun as playing that riff.

Dove of Peace is my favorite ever.

When I first started playing guitar all I ever really wanted to play was Slayer South of Heaven, Nirvana’s Smells like Teen Spirit, Ramones Havan Affair and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath until I heard Rocket Queen.

When I was 13, I was skateboarding with my friends at this local skate park. My good buddy came down with his ghetto blaster (remember those!) and I was screwing around until I heard the riff to Rocket Queen. That riff was just soo funky and hard edge, I was moved. So when I got home I made it a point to save up enough money to go and buy Appetite. I didn’t really have a lot of money, so for 2 weeks of none stop chores and actually wearing underwear (I was and still am against wearing underwear) I saved up enough to buy Appetite. I just got totally immersed with the album but Night Train and Rocket Queen caught me the most. I then spent weeks on end trying to learn and play Rocket Queen. When I finally learnt the riffs I laid into the solos (which made me buy a slide) and it just sucked me in. After learning the song I HAD to know which guitarist it was who did it. That’s when my all time guitar playing addiction to Slash began. Its not soo much Slash that gets to me its Slash’s playing. The emotion/soul he puts into it and his influences that make me wan’t to always be a better guitarist. 

Its also thanks to Rocket Queen that I lost my virginity! It was lost at  the part of the song where Axl sings “here I ammm…”.

It was because of that song that I’ve had the most awesome experiences and what made me a guitarist.
 

will try to leave any Appetite song out of the discussion cause the riffs on that album are too good to compare to anything else.

so that would probably leave me with Slither, Ghost or By the Sword.

I’m choosing slither, song just kicks ass, and the riffs are very powerful

Sweet Child o Mine……….Just The Guitar monster tone……. and its sound what is that sound.l……..that wah wah wah……chuka wah wah  sound……its a what CRY BABY……wow…..the song should be called WAH ….just amazing ….the song takes u on a musical emotional wah journey roller coaster in and out and up and down and all around …. just amazing!

Rocket queen is my favorite. It kicks ass!!!!!

best one off appetite besides paradise city i think!

It’s a very difficult choice!! I like all of them! But, as I have to decide for one, I’ll pick one from his solo album….I would say Back from Cali riff!! It is just awseome!! It has a lot of “feeling” and it brings back a lot of musical influences that made Slash what he is….it is just “raw” Slash music!! Just perfect!!

Estranged, just perfect.

November Rain is my favorite, because it’s beautiful and November is my birthday month.

Slash is my all time favorite guitar player……
I went to go see him play at the Warfield in San Francisco in August of 2010. The best show of all time, just pure rock n roll. It was so awesome that the concert was recorded and its the only album in my collection that makes me want to pick up a guitar and quit guitar all at the same time. Is he the best guitarist of all time, probably not, BUT he is probably the most well known guitar player of all time, he is the ambassador of rock n roll guitar, man even young kids of the 21st century are going back to learn about rock music because of Slash and Guns n Roses, with the song like “Sweet Child of Mine”. Slash has opened the door for many young kids to learn about rock n roll, that is why Slash is one of the greatest guitarist of all time, not to mention, he is instanly recognizable.

My all time favorite Slash riff is “Nightrain”. That song has great riff that people can sing along to it is easy to remember, not to mention the freakin awesome solo at the end, everytime i hear that song, i just want to play guitar and just freak out on it.

Rocket Queen, la primera vez que escuché ese riff me enloquecí!!!!!!!!y cuando escuche por 1º vez  Beggars and Hangers-On lloré… lloré , aunque los riff son muy cortos, pareciera que Slash le hace el amor a la viola. 
Quiero contar,  algo que quizás no viene al caso: cuando me casé nuestro bals principal fue The Grandfather Theme….

Soy una niña (jajjajjaja) Tengo 32 años y hace 24 que sigo a éste guitarrista, por su desenfado, por su ganas de trabajar, por no querer tener problemas con nadie, por lograr formar una familia hermosa, por llegar a desintoxicarse por su cuenta y por dar tantos ejemplos de vida, de trabajo duro y humanos. 

Slash, sos lo que muchos quisieran ser, y encima HUMILDE!
Éste año te conocí, viniste a la Argentina, y fue uno de los mejores días de mi vida.

Besos.-

Slash is not only my favourite. He’s an inspiration to me. My favourite Slash riff is Back From Cali. It really digs me in and Myles Kennedy has done awesome vocals on it. Second would be Ghost. Slash album just rocked! All the songs were brilliant and I’m sure the live one would be even more.

I want his pedal board and his hat.

my favorite riff is the intro to Beggars and Hangers On. Its got that nice slide to it and is just soaked to the bone with bluesy badassedness!!! Plus, I’ve learned bits of it on my acoustic! Rock on!!!

My favorite is the Nightrain riff, becase it’s so powerful.

Let It Roll!! Caught a VR show in Chicago with this song as the opener – I’ll never be the same!

Choosing this is way too hard, but I’ll have to try. I’m in love with so many of his riffs, he’s my favorite guitar player of all time. 
I’m going with that crazy riff to “Be the Ball” because it blows my mind. It feels like you’re quickly getting pulled up higher and higher. It’s the rush of jumping off steps and destroying mirrors with baseball bats. It tells me I can do whatever the fuck I want at this very moment and no one can stop me, that I can BE THE BALL. It’s pure rock n’ roll and it leaves my mind in blissful shatters. The WAH WAH can only be described as orgasmic, you hit a point where your mind wraps its fingers through the entire melody. It’s rhythmic. It’s badass. It’s Slash.

I would have to say that my favorite solo is the one from November Rain. The solo is simple, but the bends he does just puts so much soul into it.

My favorite riff is definitely the opening of Sweet Child O’Mine. Back in 88, seeing Slash in the video plug his guitar and start this instant classic melody was the coolest thing on earth for a 14 year-old kid like me.  After that, I knew I would end up with a Les Paul in my own hands, thanks to the inspiration Slash brought in.  This brilliant musician shreds, all right, but with so much feeling and blues in it that even the anti-ultraspeedy shredder like me was, and still is, totally blown away.  So let me win this package, it would be sooooo nice !!!!

I love all the Guns n’ Roses legacy and what it represents, but in my opinion, the killer riff for “Been there lately” is a synthesis of all the rock n’ roll energy that Slash transmits on his playing. It has poison on every single note that he plays and for sure, everyone who listens to this riff may feel it ! Thanks Slash for being a genious in the way that we love, rocking the f’n world !.

Paradise City because whenever I hear it it simply takes me away from reality and puts me right in the middle of a terrific time!

Hi My favorite riff is from Estranged by Guns N’ Roses ’cause touch me deep in my soul, when a riff  when a riff so it that is  indescribable. I have no words to tell what prodiuces in me..I love Slash, He is my big inspiration !!I really want win but No matter if I no win, the best gift is the music that Slash make Sorry my english, xoxo & Thanks for this big opportunity

My favorite slash riff has to be rocket queen because it has a cool funky vibe to it while retaining the brash delivery that all of slash’s riffs have. It is so simple yet it is catchy and memorable also.

From the GnR period, I love My Michelle guitar riff, because it is raw and dirty.
From Snakepit period, my favorite riff is Beggars & Hangers-on – it is very catchy and I will never unhook from it.
From VR period – Come On, Come In. I think it is one of the best songs VR made.
From Slash solo period, I love We’re All Gonna Die. It is a true rock n’ roll song. I haven’t heard any new rock n’ roll songs for couple years before that album.

“Always on the Run” is a killer riff that Slash made and changed everything inside our minds ! Very intelligent, groovy sounded and shows us the diversity of Slash’s abilities. Lenny Kravitz was a lucky man when Slash made that riff to him !.

My favorite slash riff has to be rocket queen because it has a cool funky vibe to it while retaining the brash raw delivery that slash’s riffs have. It is very simple yet catchy and memorable as well.

Well, it is REALLY hard to say “this is my favorite Slash riff”. And that’s because this man has written some of the best riffs EVER. From “Appetite For Destruction” to his first solo album, he has been proving why he is justifiably concidered one of the best players of his time. Since it is a contest, though, I have to chose one riff. So I’d go with “By The Sword”. This song may not be as powerful as “Welcome To The Jungle” or “Slither” or “She Builds Quick Machines”, but it has something in it that’s really special. Slash, you are a true inspiration.Thanks for everything and please, oh please, KEEP BLOWING OUR MINDS with your music

Hi My favorite riff is from Estranged by Guns N’ Roses ’cause touch me deep in my soul, when a riff  do it that is  indescribable. I have no words to tell what produces in me..

I love Slash, He is my big inspiration !!

I really want win, it’s so hard i know Slash have  many many fans around the world but anyway No matter if I no win, the best gift is the music that Slash make

Sorry for my english, xoxox & THANKS FOR THIS BIG OPPORTUNITY

My favorite Slash riff would probably have the intro to be Beggars and Hangers on because it has a warm feeling to it as well as a good Rock N Roll feel. Its also a good song to listen to when I’m wrenching on my car.

It may be one of the most challenging GNR’s songs

We saw Slash, Myles and the boys at Spirit Mountain Casino in Grande Ronde, Oregon last Winter. It was an amazing show in a little podunk town and it was unbelievable! All the songs were excellent. They seemed to have a good time also. I am an old man but have become a big Slash fan. Like the last guy says, Genius!

It’s all about the melody and emotions inside of it. Every time I hear the November Rain’s solo it gets me to the bone. I can feel Slash’s coming from the inside of me and spreading through my whole body. It gets me so excited and so hot that I can’t control it. When I imagine him playing this solo in front of that church, well… yeah, it gets me to the climax!

Cool!
My favorite riff would have to be in “Mr. Brownstone”.. pure 80′s-90′s rock!

SLASH IS THE GREATEST AND WILL ALWAY BE THE GREATEST. FOR ME THE BEST DRIVING RIFF OF HIS HAS TO BE ROCKET QUEEN. THAT RIFF HAS ALL THE GROOVE ALL THE SLEEZE IN THOSE FIRST FEW LINES. AS A MARSHALL AFD100 AND SLASH WAH OWNER I THINK EVERY RIFF HE WRITES IS BRILLIANT. PERIOD.   RNFNR.    

i think that my prefered riff is “LOCOMOTIVE”,because it’s a quite hard riff to play,a lot of energy and feelings with a lot of differents phases.and i believe that this riff represents very well what slash had played in the early GNR and what he would do after  with snakepit, velvet and in solo!
but it’s quite hard to choose ’cause what slash plays is what makes me crazy!!! cheers!

you could be mine.  the whole intro section is pretty flawless, and when the riff hits its total rock.

The best Slash riff has to be the main one to Speed Parade off of the Ain’t life grand album. It’s like a punch in the face it’s heavy , dirty and in your face. I heard him live and I was in front row I tought my ears were going to explode. Deffinetly the best riff in my opinion.

Well, November Rain is definitely my favorite song with Slash, especially the solo part which defines his sound. No other wprd to say, you hear that, you know it’s him and you understand why he became iconic. That’s Slash.

By the sword, 2:45 – 3:38

sweet child o mine intro riff because, as a guitarist I know how frustrating it is to deliberately bring a riff together using the notes available without it sounding too complex or made to be difficult.. Scom intro is possibly the easiest thing to discover in d major, yet at the same time one of the most tasty melodys ever to come from that key!

I love the riff from Mr. Brownstone because it is driving and energetic.

 My favorite riff is the begin of ‘sweet child of mine’. It’s simple and complex and once. This riff envolves us while the rest of the band up the song

My favorite Slash riff is Mr. Brownstone, because it sounded darker and heavier than most music and definately showed how diverse and brilliant Slash’s music is.

since i was a little boy, my hero is slash… until now and forever… my first concert at the age of 12 was guns n roses, with my parents… it`s not easy to say wich guitar riff is my favorite… because there all my favorites! but now i think i choose hangers and bangers on… because once upon a time, i was sitting in a house and paint the walls with white colour! and this song was played at my player all the time!!! and i do this more than 3 days… sorry for my english, it`s really bad, but i try it! greetings to all headbangers out there…

Well there are many great Slash riffs out there… I don’t want to throw any classics out, so I’ll go with the song Doin’ Fine from Slash’s Snakepit It’s Five O’clock Somewhere. It’s just a great rock’n'roll song. Don’t need any further explanation!

riff in ‘sweet child ‘o mine sends me to a place where I was stationed in Germany, both of ‘em and me and my boys would be with our girls in the club and just rockin the joint out man, what memories of greatness thanks to Slash and G’N'R!!!

My favorite is the rif played in Nightrain, it sure is fucking awesome!

Best Slash riff for me is nighttrain. Loud and simple riff, and best ones are always the simple ones

Slash has been a huge influence on my guitar playing, ever since i heard the intro to sweet child o’ mine ive been working hard to get as good as him. I even bought a les paul in order to feel closer to the legend and im saving up to get a gibson les paul with sash hardware on it. My favourite song from G’n'R would have to be sweet child o’ mine as the feeling behind the song is just so intense and the solo gives me goosebumps. In short I LOVE YOU SLASH (no homo) XD

Lets make this realy simple…. 99.9% of people will opt for Sweet child o mine, November rain, patience bla bla bla…. basicaly the same old drivle thats been played to death on every tv show and radio station….
My Favorite SLASH riff is NightTrain, the song that made me sit up listen and pay attention to what a Guitar should be doing.
From that moment on there was no other song i needed by Gun’s (Although there all brilliant)  but that opening riff still gives me the chills and stands my hairs up on end like when i was a little brat = P

My favourite Slash riff is one of the best rock riff ever:Welcome to the jungle.When i’m down, the power of his guitar in this song is like a good medicine for me.When i want to have fun ,drink a beer and do an air guitar,this is the perfect song.Thank you Slash.
For his projects outside Gnr i think that American man second solos is simply amazing.
Mauro

Slash is god.
I’ve got inked myself like him, the VR-Lady on the right arm.

B2t:
Estranged. My fav Riff. It’s so simple, but still a great tuning. Love to hear-play-watch-whatever it.
Thank you Slash. Still got the hero-character.

Everyone knows that Slash is one of the best guitar players ever! My favorite at least. And the old Guns N roses songs are timeless his solo album is excellent so choosing a favorite riff is not easy at all! However in the spirit of Rock n Roll i will go with Paradise Cityyyy…There is something about the beginning of that song the guitar and the way the drums come in you can feel the energy and adrenaline rush! EPIC! 

Dime Store Rock !! Good Hard rock style, powerful riff !

My favourite slash solo has to be the don’t cry solo purely on the grounds of I’m having it played at my funeral but for everyone to enjoy not be upset about!

wow, so many comments already… well I think it’s hard to say, what’s the best riff… I’ve already seen Slash playin in Berlin and after the concert i started playing guitar, too. So like i said every Song, especially from Appetite is brilliant… But i think my favorite is probably the Sweet Child O’ Mine Solo, maybe because of the cool way-sound he gets… I really like to play SCOM but have no way.. and o have to commit for me its very expensive…. getting this pedal would be so cool and i could get my #1 guitarist’s sound even more near… thank you dunlop for all your absolutely amazing products !!!!

my favorite Slash riff isn’t really a riff,its an entire song,the Godfather theme.When i saw him play this live at the birmingham gig i cried like a baby. i have loved Slash since the GnR days and when he left was the day GnR in my eyes was no more, not only was he the soul of GnR but he seems like a really genuine guy too

Slither have got to be up there with the all time greatest slash songs! That verse riff using power chords with the moving to the single notes up an octave is immense!!

And least not forget!! The epic solo!!

Needless to say, Slash is the guitarist of our generation as well. During his years in GN’R, Snakepit & Velvet Revolver, he has created memorable riffs, so it’s hard. But, I have to say that my favorite Slash-riff is Sucker Train Blues. The first song of the album Contraband. It just slaps you in the face, a hard n’ heavy type of riff that makes an urge to play guitar! Its low E, heavy, great sounding, and memorable! If there is anoter riff that really digs me, it has to be Been There Lately & Ghost. 

The riff on estranged is the most killer riff in riff age history – I remember getting the vinyl of the use your illusion albums and being blown away by all the songs – id waited so long for them and then heard some new stuff at the wembley stadium show and then stayed up all night with my headphones on listening over and over – and then came estranged and it just blew me away WOW !!! It just builds and builds with as much feeling as the lyrics somehow . Greatest riff Estranged G N F N R

I think that I don´t have a favorite one… I discovered slash with the “appettite” album around 1990 and at the same time I discovered the passion by guitar (the most important think to me on this history. Thanks Slash). I have a lot of memories listening every song: from “sweet child” to “night train”, “welcome to the jungle”…”think about you”. Every song. If I can try one, for me, well…the same order as the previous songs.

paradise city ! It’s just an killer song ! The intro makes the ladies smile , the main riff is headbangers ball !

Sweet Child O Mine got to be one of the most recognizable riff in the world, and I was getting into my music when that came out, thats why its my favorite Slash riff, and still makes me air guitar… R.n.f.R…

This is so hard, love Patience, but I have heard an accoustic version of November Rain, and that was the best ever. Do love Beautifully Dangerous, and the chucka chuck at the start, so difficult choice, Patience is all time fav, but for solo – November Rain, but accoustic version. Wish I could remember where the hell I heard this – if anyone knows?

My favorite riffs are from nightrain, because they are just filled with so much energy and also the wha intro to mr brownstone

My fav slash’s riff is probably the one from Sweet Child O Mine, because this was the only one that made me cry like a baby in a live concert.

“November Rain” is my favourite riff. As the song goes along we can feel the progression and the icrease in power finally leading to an exlposion. 
The overlong and complex solo passages give a chronological signification  to this masterpiece. 
I love the orchestra and piano intervention making the atmosphere harmonious and really  emotional.
I play guitar  in 3 different rock bands. Music is my life. If i ever win this pedal I’ll be the happiest girl  !!!

My favorite Slash guitar riff it’s Nightrain, because…i don’t know, just that’s the one )

Anything Goes! I love to play that riff!

My favourite is you could be mine. Just love the way it rips in.

I have a soft spot for the Estranged licks

There’s obviously countless riffs that make slash a beast in rock n roll.  its tough for me to name a favorite because every one has its own flavor, so i’m gonna throw out my favorite riff of each era…

guns: ive never heard a nastier album opening then welcome to the jungle.  to me it takes the cake, it launched off an explosion in rock n roll that i dont think has ever been seen in a studio debut.

snakepit: again, gotta go with the opener of the debut 5′oclock…neither can i.  such a sleezy vibe to that song, shows a vibe noone heard on appetite, but still keeps the pure rnr vibe that we’ve all come to know and love from slash.

velvet revolver: slither. (sense a pattern?)  I might seem cliche pickin all the 1st tracks….but damn this riff kicks ass. the riff doesn’t make sense in a music theory kind of way…but it just works. this song is a killer way to kick off any night of adventure.  i remember when the video came out and i hadnt seen/heard anything like it.  the seedy attitude of the video combined with just a few (sarcasm) familiar faces in rock… classic.

slash: back from cali.  im keepin my fingers crossed but it finally seems like slash has found a long term vocalist in myles kennedy.  such a good times/welcome home vibe comin from this one.  they kill it at the mtv classic launch show and being from michigan, i gotta love the acoustic version for 101.1, ironically nicknamed “the riff”.

Mmmm damn that is tough, Slash comes up with so many good riffs that you just love to hear live the moment he starts to play them live. Ya know what i’m going to go for a lesser known one. Back From Cali as it’s not often we hear some finger picking. 

My favourite riff? hummm..very difficult choise.
I vote.. humm.. the intro pardise.. No,no  I vote the final part of ”Loving the alien”
It’s so.. sweet! …simple but..melting! really emoctional.

It has to be Nightrain. The riff at the beginning shows just how good a song writer Slash is. It also sounds good in the car, through headphones, in a club, just about anywhere and it sounds especially raw and rich on the new live album. It carries it’s roots with it from the first second to the last chord and that makes it the classic Slash-esq riff….. In my opinion.

Slash…the guitar player who did in my opinion ass kicking and goosebum guitar riffs on “Estranged” . This is a song with everything in it. Slow, fast and an astonishing solo. This is what a guitar player should do, use the range of guitar and the sound of it. You can listen to anything he did and you pick it out as Slash. He makes music from the heart, it comes from his toes and the last string of hair (or hat) he lets his guitar speak. Just like only a few memorable players did, just like Jimmi for example. To me Slash is an icon witch sattled his way of playing  rock ‘n’ roll music because of his personality, he plays like the way he feels. Of course there are to many good riffs that you can name. Thank you Slash for being you and for the awesome music you make!

First time I heard Back to Cali it simply got to the back of my head with shivers down the spine in a second. Has never been like that!

Sweet Child O’ Mine. Always has, is and will be my favourite song. The second you hear the first note of the intro you know what is coming. It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end when I hear it.

Slash is the embodiment of the ultimate modern guitar slinger.  Since i was very young Slash has held a very special place on my mantel of guitar heros i aspire to.  For me Slash has always evolved as a player so rather than pick a singular riff i choose one from each of his long and riff filled career.  From his Gun’rs days for me it’s Mr Brownstone, from his Snakepit days Beggars and Hangers On, Velvet Revolver Slither and We’re All Gonna Die from his solo album. 

Have to agree….”Shine”

My favourite riff has to be Paradise City, that riff it’s so simple yet catchy and powerful. Slash said they wrote it in a van coming back from a few gigs, looks like the song was born for a moment of pure fun and you can get that feeling the entire song. And on top of that riff the lyrics complete one of the greatest classics in rock history!
But I have lots of favourites, Slash is the best to me not just for his solos but for his riffs!You could take any riff from an AFD song and you have one of the best riff ever, that guy pulls riff out of his top hat like magic!

My favourite slash riff has to be nightrain, i love this song!

Serail killer has a f**** dark riff, with a melodic solo Slash’had never done before.
It translates his abilities to do hard rock, classic roc, melodic rock and shows how rich his playing is.
It”s powerfull, with lots of atmosphere, and slash prooves again that his is one of the best guitar player of the last 2 centuries.
Which guitarist can argue that we can sing any solo slash’ plays This is what I call true melodic solos and riffs !

This is a hard pick because they are all great. My favorite riff is the intro to Welcome to the Jungle. Every single time that I listen to it it just gives me the chills. This riff is one that defined the AFD album and let everybody have a new perspective on hard rock in the late 80′s. Slash plays this riff an makes it seem so easy and the tone is just awesome. As always, the rhythm and lead always work great in any GNR song ecause of the amazing guitar sound that Slash and Izzy get by using the greatest pedals–MXR.

Nighttrain has the coolest riff in it. It is what really got me into Slash playing style. Sure paradise city, welcome to the jungle are commercial successful rifts that are eSy to recognize. But nighttrain is the best.

Take me down ti the Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls got big titties..

My favorite Slash riff has “back to the moment” it is fucking awesome!

It’s very hard for me to choose the best Slash’riff. Slash is my favourite guitar player and i never cease to learn from his style. I love it. Sweet child o mine, Mr. Brownstone, welcome to the jungle, estranged nightrain, back from cali, i colud stay until tomorrow to write. So, in my opinion the best in paradise city because has a very blues and heavy sound and blow up your mind, is something impossible to describe. sorry for the english.

Beggars & Hangers On
A heavy blues rock riff, that’s where his music came from.

“Sweet Child O’ Mine” – released same year I got married.

sweet child o mine,,,,,,
for some reason whatsoever, ive been listening to this one song for like aeons and its somehow still as EPIC as it was when i heard it first…..slash=einstein
sweet child o mine=relativity 

Ghost . . . A great soundign slash riff, with power and force, whilst sounding sweet at the same time! A future classic!

Starlight is the best, you just feel that opening riff all the way down to your soul, then Myles starts singing and you can feel his words reach out to you and finally we hit the chorus and it just lifts you up!

Like Slash, I was raised in the motherland of Stoke-on-Trent, and also like Slash I moved away.  When I heard about the Victoria Hall gig, I knew I had to go.  And guess what?  I got a ticket!  Slash is the reason that I first picked up a guitar, Appetite for Destruction laid down the foundation for my love of rock and is still my favorite album of all time.  My favorite slash riff is the intro to Paradise City.  That riff elicits so many feelings of happiness inside me, and there is no better place to be listening to it than at full volume, on a hot summers day driving on the North Welsh coast road where I live.  So anyway, 24/7/11 comes about, myself, my girlfriend and a couple of friends travel to the motherland for the gig, I stood in line outside the Victoria Hall for 2 and a half hours, determined to get front and right, in front of Slash’s custom Marshall Stacks.  What do you know, that’s where I ended up! Hell yeahhhh!!!  Anyway, I forgot to mention that whilst I was in line for 2 and a half hours, one of my friends and my girlfriend who didn’t want to wait decided to go to the pub, and my girlfriend got a little tipsy.  Anyway, just as the support band go off my girlfriend who is in front of me, right on the barrier, right in front of Slash’s custom Marshall stacks decides that due to her earlier consumption does not feel well and has to leave the hall.  Can you see my dilemma? I’m minutes away from being stood in front of Slash in the motherland.  So what do I do? I step up and ask for us to be let through the barrier as she didn’t feel well.  I’m sat on the steps outside with her, I could not speak, I could have cried, I had everything that I wanted in the evening and it was taken away.  Anyhow, when the girlfriend decided that she felt better we ended up right at the back of the hall….not where I had stood in line for 2 and a half hours to stand!!!!  Anyway, to cut a long story short, it was at the moment that Paradise City kicked in that in spite of not being right at the front where I was originally, I was stood in my home city, watching the greatest guitarist from this city and all of those happy emotions elicited from that song came rushing back to me. I truly was in Paradise City!

Nightrain is my Slash´s favourite riff! I´m glad that he started playing it live again!!

My favorite Slash riff, is the into to “Ghost”. Every morning that I took my 14 year old daughter to school, I’d ask her if she was “Ready to Rock” and then crank up “Ghost”. That song was a perfect first song for the album and gets your blood flowing on a cold morning ride.

It’s hard…But…I have to choose one. I think my favourite riff from Slash is “Don’t Damn Me” from the album UYI I, because it’s a very difficult and tricky riff, I’ve suffered one afternoon to learn it normally.

My favorite Slash riff has to be the intro to “Welcome To The Jungle”…..it was such an awesome introduction to a band that no one really knew about yet.  Five seconds in and EVERYBODY knew…..that’s power!

Hi!My name is Melissa, I am 15 and I’m Italian. I was born with Guns N’ Roses music. When I was really little, my dad put “Don’t Cry”, and I loved it. I was smiling like a crazy and I clapped my little hands, I had already Rock N’ Roll in blood! One day my dad, when I was 6 or 7 years, put the concert “Use Your Illusion live in Tokyo” on the TV. It was the first time I saw it! I was literally spellbound. With open mouth, sitting cross-legged on the ground under the huge TV to watch that curly man who played “Only Woman Bleed”, before Knockin On Heaven’s Door. That’s how I fell in love with this group. I remember that I boasted to my father because I knew the names of all the components! Growing up on, I knew more and more about them, and now have become part of my life, something fundamental. Every day I can not help but listen. I just listen only to Civil War and I get emotion. Sometimes I listen them to the MP3, I imagine to be at a concert and I daydreaming. What I’d give to see them all together .. On July 29th I saw Slash in concert in Rome, and believe me it was the best day of my life. They had just dismantled the equipment of the other group. It was dark. Suddenly the lights trained on the stage. Started the drummer to play the first notes of “Ghost”, I had chills. Arrived Slash, and when I see him get on stage, I burst into tears and I put my hands on my mouth. I could not believe it, to have him before me, a few meters, for the first time. The emotion was so much, and also came at the Godfather Theme solo and at Sweet Child O’Mine. Even my father was crying. When i watch the video of the concert, I swear that I tremble. My favourite solo of Sweet Child O ‘Mine. It’s a wonderful song. That solo take my soul and makes me travel in a world of my own, it don’t want to let me to leave. You know what it means to love someone/something to the point of feel bad? It happens to me. You couldn’t ever understand the effect these five guys that make me … Neither do I, in words, I can explain it. I can only tell you that without their music I cannot live, they are my life.
(Sorry for the bad english, hope that you will understand what that I wrote)

For me it’s Nightrain. It is simple and rocks like hell. Everytime I hear this song I want to grab my guitar.

My favorite Slash riff is the rhythm on ‘Slither’ because..

Well, just play it and see

I’d have to go with Beggars and Hangers On.  It’s just got a great groove to it.

The favourite? Nightrain, just Nigthrain = rock & roll.

Slash is a phenom!!! Awesome all the way.

My favourite riff is definitely Estranged. It is such a melodic and beautiful riff that blows our minds! But Slash is a player that has habituated us to great riffs! One of my favourites is Welcome to the Jungle, that delay is awesome and it’s so agressive! We also have SCOM wich is the most iconic riff of Rock and that just show how awesome Slash is.
But Slash has a lot of great riffs besides the GN’R ones. Songs like Slither, Dirty Little Thing from Velvet Revolver or Beggars and Hangers On from Snakepit and even some from the new solo record as Ghost, which is awesome!, Promise or By Te Sword.
Concluding, Slash can make riffs like no one.

Civil War, that is my favourite.

Slash, is the best guitarist for such person and his work for me “sweet child o mine” is one of my favorite riffs without “november rain” “you could be mine” “paradise city” ”civil war” “godfather theme” “always on the run” fields of joy” “garden of eden” “mr brownstone” and his new songs as “ghost” “doctor alibi” “by the sword” “starlight” “nothing to say” “we´re all gonna die” “watch this dave”  ”crucify the dead” y “back from cali” thanks. i’m super fan of slash i’m from colombia valle and i’m 13 years old thanks you so much DUNLOP and SLASH THE BEST

There are a ton but in regard to his solo album, Starlight’s intro. That smooth harmony and the sound of the blue box make it such a great rich tune. I crank up my stereo when that sounds comes on.

My favourite guitar riff by Slash is Civil War (dirty riff) with this fucking Marshall JCM 800 34# sound
I love this song it’s so powerful I can’t describe the feelings a this moment of this song it’s so unique
It’s the last guitarhero

My favourite Slash’s riff is Civil War. Civil war is a really beautiful song and it is important both in terms of musical content from the text. Hearing it played live and what’s more sung by Myles Kennedy has been a unique experience and I hope to relive that emotion seeing the DVD too.

Most definitely the main and ending riffs to Welcome To The Jungle!

slash is one of my favorite guitarist because of his bluesy rock sound to the heavy rock sounds like slither my favorite riff from slash has to be night train its such an amazing riff i cant explain it everything about that song is amazing when ever i hear one of his riffs i recognize that his him playing because of his unique style well i hope you pick me as a winner i really need a wah pedal thanks

There are so many to choose from, but my choice is clearly “COMA” – last track on UYI 1. The main riff has to be one of the heaviest and most bad-ass riffs ever played. Combine that with the amazing solos on that tune and you have over ten minutes of pure genius.

My ears can’t decide for me, so I’ll let my hands do it. The slash riff I play most when I pick up my guitar has to be the opener from “Don’t Damn Me”. It’s a complex mix between chords and notes, and he just plays it so fluidly I’m still in awe to this day…..Thank You Slash, for over 25 years of the most amazing music!

gota go with the heavy yet simple speed parade by slashs snakepit 

Well Well Well… It’s Almost impossible to chose 2 favourite riffs… because they’re all awesome… but i’ll choose Sweet Child O’ Mine because it is very melodic and sweet and it is already an icon… and the second one is Welcome To The Jungle for its energy and raw tone. Slash ROckS!!!!!!

My favourite Slash riff is Mean Bone.It’s an amazing hard rock song, and the riff proves that Slash is one of the greatest guitar hero of all time! And the solo is just…epic!I saw Slash and the band at Rock in Rome festival, and when they started to play Mean Bone, i was going fucking crazy!! Srry for my bad english

Night train!!! Because it fucking ROCKS n that’s wat riffs are supposed to do damn it!!!

sweet child o mine because of the crowd reaction

I’m gonna choose the song that blow up my head everyday: Paradise City, because I can fly with that song and it takes me far away from my bitter rutine. btw, it takes me down to a perfect place where the grass is green n the boys are so hot haha. greetings from Argentina! 

I love sooo many but I have to choose one so it will have to be Nov Rain only because our first born son was concived to it! It really was to the solo !!! Love Slash!!!!

How can you pick a favorite riff from this guy? Throughout the years he’s put out such an awesome compilation of great guitar riffs. He’s continued to amaze us with every album. I can’t wait to get Made In Stock 24/7/11! And with new material in the works… what more can a guitar-fanatic like myself ask for? (How about a new Dunlop Slash signature cry baby wah!!!) Keep on tearing it up Slash!!!

Lets not forget the solo in “back & forth again”. I showed that solo to a buddy of mine not even into rock and roll and he was completely blown away. Estranged as a whole but particularly the last solo. Coma…holy shit, I don’t have enough space to write about that masterpiece. There’s so much more depth, magic, flame, and emotion in that mans guitar playing than any other. Sure there are guitarist that are better in a technical term but Slash can say more in 3 notes than Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, or Yngwie can in 100! The solo he does on  Carole King’s track is another fine piece of sounds pleasing to the ear. Do yourself a favor and buy a great set of headphones and put on appetite. Not full blast and not in party mode but actually sit there and listen to those guitar licks in every song…Very magical

The list goes on but whats more important than my list of all the great shit he’s done is that he continues to make music. I listen to his guitar playing and it re-invents itself every time i hear it despite the fact that some of it I’ve heard going on 20 years

Nightrain for me. I’m learning it at the moment. It contains a good mix of Slashs’ skills. Including solos, power chords, double stops and blues

Sweet Child O’ Mine – it’s fun to play and sounds awesome when you get it right.

It is You Could Be Mine, cause it’s very heavy and gives a feel of a real rock guitarist…=)

I would say it is Welcome to the Jungle, that’s Slash’s first riff and first song, so it gives a felling of Slash’s playing…

To me, one of the greatest songs slash ever played is ROCKET QUEEN. The main riff of the song is simply perfect. It’s dirty, it’s kind of sexy, and it’s very fuckin’ rock & roll! I think is one of those GNR songs not as popular as Sweet Child O’ Mine or Welcome To The jungle that should have been become wordwide popular. And, of course, the “slide” solo is amazing! But what I like the most of that song is the bridge to the “second part” of the song, and the change of medoly is perfect! Rocket Queen is one of my favourite songs of the Appettite album and, as a guitar player, is a very enjoyable song to play live! Believe me!
Cheers for the music! Cheers for Slash!

Javier Conte. Argentina.

Don’t Cry … such a haunting riff you can’t ignore
But, It’s only one of many great riffs Slash has performed … Keep them coming

Intro to welcome to the jungle coz it fucking rocks.

My favorite slash riff, though I guess not his favorite riff, is the intro to Sweet Child O’ Mine.
Yes, he described is “circus music” or something to that effect, but it is just so recognizable and a good riff to learn: not as hard as it sounds, and very helpful in improving picking dexterity.

Slash is my favourite guitarist, he is able to transmit to me, compared with other guitarists, unique emotions in his solos, that make me dream with my mind and open my heart. It’s really great how this man with a guitar can trasmit all of this. It’s really hard to choose the best riff! I discovered Guns n’ Roses with Don’t Cry and by listening it the first time, I was surprised by the riffs,
so I decided to buy a guitar and this song was the first I learnt. But my favourite song is Sweet Child o’ Mine from Appetite For Destruction, which is my favourite album: it has an open riff and many other solos that can take my soul and it was the song that made me cry when I saw Slash live with Myles Kennedy and his new band this summer. I can say that to see him live was a dream.
He is the best.

I think my favourite one is ‘Estranged’ because it’s just full of epicness. And Slash’s soli are the best for sure. ;D 

Nightrain!!  Incredible opening riff, very classic blues-rock, Slash at his best.  There’s a reason that they used this song to open GnR’s 1992 world tour.  Sounds great on my Gibson Appetite for Destruction Les Paul, would sound even better accompanied by a Dunlop Slash Signature Cry Baby Wah!

I like the blazing Night Train riff, it is my all-time favourite riff. It kicks ass!!!!

My favorite Slash guitar riff is from  “Shine” by Slash’s Snakepit. If you aren’t familiar with this one, check it out – you won’t be disappointed.

The best intro of all time hands down is Slash’s intro to Estranged, you can clearly hear the tone for days of that guitar and the riffs that follow are very articulate to that song, and matches/compliments Axl’s voice as his voice plays with and along the various notes and tone of Slash’s guitar at that time, I think the Goldtop Gibson that went missing on the Illusions tour

I love everything Slash has ever done, but his best riff ever has to be the crunchy metal riff during the verses of “Paradise City.”

Sweet Child o’ mine – good times memories…

Mr. Brownstone. For 1986 this was just a brilliantly classic flavoured riff that wasn’t trying too hard to sound new – but somehow did. It was vintage with attitude – and still is. When he played it at the gig in Stoke I pissed my pants – ROCK ON!!!

I’m
Valeria  from Sicily. Slash is  the best thing in my life. I really love him.

My favourite riff is Nightrain, because this song rapresents in the best, tha
golden years of Guns n’ Roses
and transmits a lot of Energy, makes you want to
scream and send to fuck all the people who
hinder you. It has a great solo .. every time I hear it I
have the chills and when I
heard live was the
best adrenaline moment of my life . It’s a song that represents me, representing my teenage years and that always gives
me strength to go on!

The first rock song I heard was Sweet Child O’ Mine, when I did, my mind was blown up by that riff, since then I’m a huge GnR fan and every Slash project, and since I’m an AB Fan too, this union with Myles is like a dream come true.
Slash you just fn’ rock, thanks for keeping music alive!!

The intro for sweet child o mine is iconic slash, its just so recognisable from the first note. and to think  he thought it was a bit girly!!!

Welcome to the Jungle is one of my all time favs.  The changes, the effects and most of all the groove.  Love it!

Just about anything off Snake Pit. I think the Snake Pit band was the pinnacle of Slash’s greatness. I wish it never died to that awful crap that became Velvet Revolver…

Welcome to the jungle is my all time favourite song by slash there’s so much feel to that song he
Makes you go into ur own world and makes you think you can do anything when u set ur mind to it just look at slash. There’s not much good orginal guitar players out there :/ he’s inspired so much and changed music history thank you slash Keep tweeting m8

I loved the riff from his last album, Nothing to Say/Chains and Shackles

I’ve always loves the riff from Nothing to say/Chains and Shackles.

Since Guns n Roses are a band that first introduced me and got me really into rock, Slash is undoubtedly one of the biggest influences on me musically. So it’s a tough one. But I’ll have to go with “Paradise City” it’s so classic, catchy, and fun. Everytime that comes on you are in a better mood and people are having a good time. He’s a pure genius and is able to speak through his guitar!

Paradise City. Starts off sweet and then gets mean

Thought about this long & hard as Slash has so many great riffs. But it has to be SWEET CHILD OF MINE & my reasons are :

*) The riff to this song is one of the most reckonisable tunes in the world. As soon as you hear the first notes…you know whats coming. *) This riff introduced a whole generation to the band & Slash *) The riff makes the entire song *) Its world class & I just love it x x

I love loads of the GnR classics, but I’m going to go with Slither. The main riff has so much energy to it, and it’s a total statement of intent, but when it launches into the Solo it’s just absolute classic Slash, it’s like a massive welcome home, and the guitar tone was so clear and up to date. Love it!

Hi to all at Dunlop, i would like to thanks for the contest, i would like to win it for the following, i remember to have as one of my first tapes, the AFD, it was amazing, from that record is my favorite song NIGHTRAIN,  i have all the records from Slash´s career, all originals my friends, i even started to play guitar cause of him, i own a les paul, i remember to have 11 years old, sitting at living room watching the concert of GNR in argentina, prayin to be there, that was the last time they played togheter as a band, after that i keep following his steps, i could not go at 1995 in obras, my mother was sick and my father just got fired, so i was not a good year, life keep going and i always following the steps of Slash, when dial up came, it was a daily on US pages to know what was into it, in 2000 in a interview for an Argentina news paper he said might be here, and also to love the meat, i keep waiting, and waiting, years went by, i started to follow the rehersals for THE PROYECT, that after would became VELVET REVOLVER, obviusly y was on the line the first day to buy the record (choose the red cover), prayin for them to be here in Buenos Aires, that same year meet my girlfriend, LARA, we started to date, at that time i used to have a SG copy, years went by, 2007 came, i was one of the firsts to know that he would be on Quilmes Rock 2007, my daugther was to born on 04/12/2007, and i had tha ticket for the concert dated 04/15/2007, i prayed to everithing went ok and finaly be able to go, and it happened !!, i saw my baby born, 3 days later, same day we got from hospital, i talked to my wife and y made a promise to her, if i can go to see him, i promise after slash plays his last chord, i would come home and take care as a parent, “i need to do this”, that was a long waiting, 14 years to see the men, with Duff, Matt, what can i say, a tear fall out, it was rollercoaster of emotions, amazing, even though, i wanted to listen all those songs, the ones i gre up with, the ones i try to play, and THE MEN HIMSELF came this year to MALVINAS ARGENTINAS, 18 years i waited to hear SWEET CHILD O´MINE, to hear ROCKET QUEEN, the 2 songs that has been in my heart since the very first day, NIGHTRAIN AND PARADISE CITY, amazing, a full rock star as he is, now, following every day until he gets a new record out, and be there to enjoy his singing guitar, finnaly, i would like to say, it would be great to have the DVD, the Slash Wah, so can complete the dream of having it, it costs half of my salary here, Thanks for the space,

Greetings from Argentina

Carlos Damian Orieta

i really dig slither. it combines that heaviness with the blues. its got attitude and feel AND nothing to say, its real thrash

my favorite riff of slash it would be the intro riff of  “Paradise City” bacause is inspiring and is the beginning of something fucking awesome!!

my fav. riff would have to be the one in nightrain. i mean when i first heard the song, the magnificent guitar work along with axl’s “in your face” lyrics made a huge impact on me, not to mention the outro. the song’s AWESOME!!!!!!!

“Slither” – It’s got power and groove and it just gives u what a rock song should! Slash is the man!

Mr Brownstone – it’s the best song to f**k to Aiiiiii

Slash is most definately my favourite guitar player.  My favourite riff has to be “sweet child O’ mine”, it not only was the song that first got me into rock, but the feeling i got from it was amazing, so memorable.  A totally timeless song which still manages to give me goosebumps right from the intro, sends chills through all my body and brings out emotions like no other song has been able to do. 2 words Rock God.

My favourite Slash guitar riff is “Sweet Child O’mine” because this song contains an emotion, particulary the solo who’s among the best of all time. Slash is the reason for which I play guitar, I think the way he uses the wah pedal il exceptional and legendary: the good exemple (except sweet child o’mine) is the solo of “By the sword”, the slash’s perfect tone.
Slash is the master of rock’n fuckin’roll.

I would have to say Estranged. Simply because of its depth of playin an technique. As soon as you hear it your foot starts to tap!

I hate to pick one of his greatest hits but I go for GNR’s “Paradise City”.
The main riff is up-beat but very heavy, too. The groove is unbelievebable and the guitar work throughout the whole song is just  priceless. It’s hard to pick only one song but I would even say that it’s my favourite song of all time.

Sweet Child o’ Mine, that riff is amazing!!!

I would have to say Beggars and Hangers on… That slide riff is amazing!!

Mr. Brownstone, it has that great rocky blues riff and it just sounds amazing!!

I would have to say Paradise City, you can just feel the raw energy and it has an amazing groove!!

The best riff that Slash has created is the one from Slither. Wow that riff is just great!!!

You know where you are, you’re in the jungle!!!

Back from Cali!!

Shine from Slash’s Snakepit sounds really cool!!

The solo from November Rain is the greatest riff!!

Listen Estranged and you have your answer. Don’t ask why, just feel.

Hello there
thanks for this contest!! i’m a big fan of Welcome to the Jungle of course
have a nice one

Starlight intro, because it’s so sweet sounding and warm… no words for discussing his amazing tone!

Ghost!!!     that riff is insane just like the solo, wonder how would it sound with a wahwah pedal.

My favorite Slash riff is the main riff to “My Michelle” off Appetite for Destruction.  After the eerily soothing acoustic intro, the entire band launches full-bore into that bone-crushing, grooving riff that is 100% rock n roll, but does not change from the original chord progression.  That little moment gives the entire song a feeling of cohesion, without being excessively repetitive.

 ’Yesterdays’ clean riff, wow man that’s lovely. gotta love that just because it reminds me of someone i spent my life with.

The beginning of Mr. Brownstone is awesome to hear and also fun to play !

My favorite Slash riff monkey chow

the last solo from november rain_cause that solo is insane iit gives me goose bumbs all the damn time i hear it

NIght train, saw him play it live AMAZING!!!!!!

My favorite Slash riff is the one from “SLITHER”. That riff is so upbeat it just makes me wanna jump and scream everytime Duff says “EH!”. Even though it’s not a complicated riff, it’s probably the most fun to me.

One riff?! I’d have to say Shine!

I can’t pick… All the riffs are the best!

You could be mine is the best!

Watch This from the new solo album is the best riff. That octaver sounds so tight!

O yea!

Nothing to Say!

Don’t damn me for sure!  F’n rockin!!

Watch This

I love his riff in “Since I Don’t Have You” – I love to hear his updated version of a 50′s standard. Very cool!

jmcharries@cox.net

welcome to the jungle and patience are my favorite riffs but the man shows he has an extensive arsenal at his disposal.

Slash is the best riffmaker! Nothing to Say!

The best riff would have to be Paradise City!

This is a hard one but I would have to say the one from Double Talkin’ Jive!

The riff from Mr.Brownstone is my all time favorite!

My favorite riff would have to be the main verse riff from Slither because it is just so damn fun to play…

When it comes to guitar riffs, Slash is the master. All his riffs are great to play on guitar and listen to. A riff i very much like is the main riff in the song “Locomotive” in the GNR album “Use your Ilusion II” . it is a very underated song but the riff is damn cool and all the solos in the song go with the riff well. very kind of bluesy. listen to it!

If I had to choose my favourite riff of all of slash’s amazing riff it would have to be Sweet Child o Mine. There is just so much emotion in it.

Rocket queen. It’s a fat ballsy riff you wouldn’t mess with if you met it in a dark alley

nothing to say off his self titled album iz amazing

beggars and hangers on. coolest slide intro ever

There’s so many to choose from! I guess I’ll have to go with Welcome to the Jungle. The menacing delay drenched intro and the sleazy riffing on verses are killer. This song is what got me into G N’ R and made a Slash fan for life.

My favorite Slash riff is Sweet Child O Mine. It inspired me to play a lot more music. I love how it starts and ends. It sounds great, tone is perfect. One of the best riff I ever heard

Paradise city is the best!!

I love all riffs. Go america!

Shine is just a great riff!!

The absolute best is the one from Civil War!

My favorite is the riff in Sweet Child o’ Mine!

You Could be Mine is the absolute best!

Mine is Nightrain, effin awesome!

Greatest riff ever, Coma..

Back from Cali is the best..

Ghost is simple and fun to play!

ALL OF THEM!  But sweet child takes the cake

I love Gotten, simple, beautiful and subtly haunting.

Sweet child o’ Mine, recognizable by anyone!!

Paradise City because it’s not a dark song or a happy song. It’s got the feel of both. The feel of the Paradise City and it being awesome, and the feel of the city being dangerous and impossible to get by. And also it’s a hell of a lot of fun to play.

Sweet Child O Mine for sure. The way it goes from ballad to balls out rock is the best.

I like Back From Cali best, it is fun to play.

my favorite slash’s riff is Mean Bone, that riff bring a lot of energy to the song and makes you jump and shake your head ;D

Nothing makes me want to headbang more, than Headspace. Riffs don’t get much more awesome than that. Fingers crossed he keeps the hunt on for a new Velvet Revolver singer!

My favourite riff?….Out Ta Get Me !!!!!!

They’re out ta get meThey won’t catch meI’m fuckin’ innocentThey won’t break me!”

Amazing !

G’n'R was last R’N'R band!!

 They lived “the wild life” and you feel it , listening this riff/song !Raw power !

My name is Peter. I am 16 years old. I come from a small
country in Europe, Slovenia. Slash is my favourite guitarist because of his
unique style and exceptional guitar technique. 
Choosing my favourite song is verry difficult because I like too many of
them. I usually choose songs depending on my mood. For example : when I feel
happy I like to listen to NIGHTRAIN, MR. BROWNSTONE, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, MY
MICHELLE, IT’S SO EASY,… When I listen to Paradise City I always remember my
favourite season, summer – holidays and listening to music in my room on
maximum volume . But believe me, there is nothing better than laying on the
beach on a warm day, relaxed, listening to ESTRANGED. You can hear the sea and
feel the sunbeams on your skin. Then you close your eyes and feel the breeze
caressing your hair. When the second solo begins you get goosebumps and you
hope that when you open your eyes the guy himself will come out of the water (
just like in the video ) . Slash inspired me to start playing guitar myself. I
have been playing for almost three years now and trying to learn most of GNR,
Velvet Revolver and other Slashs songs. I am curently working on the solo of
Sweet child o’ mine, but the main problem is that I don’t have a Wah pedal L. Wah is an accesory I’ve
wanted for quite some time, but I am lacking the money.

I am also planning on buying one of his signature guitars in
the future. I have already  bought all
GNR, Slash’s Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and his solo CD’s, recently putting them
on all my media players such as ipod and my cell phone. The concert of GNR from
88 in Rits is also on my ipod so I can watch it at my every free moment. I am
constantly waiting for a concert near by. When the time arrives I will shurely
buy a backstage pass because I would love to meet him in person.

I hope you will appreciate my motivations.

Greetings to SLASH and the DUNLOP team from Slovenia.

It’s so easy is great!!

OMG, WTTJ!

Scom has the most memorable!

Paradise City!!!

Patience is a really cool acoustic riff…

Nightrain is amazing..

You could be mine…

The afd100 with slash paired up makes Civil War great!

NOVEMBER RAIN!!

Overlooked and rarely, if ever, played live by Slash or any of the other off-shoots, is one of his best pure kick-ass gooves ever; Locomotive.  There is some old footage that can be found on Youtube of Slash jamming to Locomotive with Joe Perry and Jeff Beck before a concert back in the day.  The song is a little long and may be one of Axl’s more curious lyrical efforts, but the core riff to Locomotive is simply fantastic.  I mean, I gues it shouldn’t  be surprising given the song title, but Slash’s guitar sounds like a pissed off nuclear freight train!

Good call on the DTJ.  Great tune.

sweet child o mine because it is so kick butt it makes me wanna listen to it again and agian the riff is so amazing its like heaven sent down a angel

I’d have to say the solo in Sweet Child ‘O Mine

“Paradise city” is my favourite because when I listen to it wherever I am I feel at home

my favriote slash song is american man because the rythm section in it f’n rocks and the solos killer

Definitely the entire song “Sweet Child O’ Mine”. The is the most well crafted Guitar Riff & Guitar Solo of all time. It’s as good as any Vocal Melody I have ever heard. I’m 55 Years Old & a Record & CD Collector & happen to be a Musician. So I have a lot of other stuff to compare it to. 

to my mind  , riff from good to be alive  is very very cool  ,i cant explain why ,but it is ,so power start  and  soo easy end .
and of course Welcome to the Jungle , Slash with Izzy have made so many small details in this song , and when  i will listen it to one thousen time , im sure , ill open one more detail , 
dam cool riff-maker!

The greatest Slash riff in my mind is on “Think About You.” I came to this conclusion because although it is not one of Guns N’ Roses’ more popular songs, it expresses everyone in the bands’ abilities to perform, Slash in particular. It’s amazing that he can switch midway through the song to acoustic guitar and then very soon after go into an extremely balls-to-the-wall solo. The riff also catches the listeners attention. He played the guitar in such a way that nobody could ignore his skill or the power behind his playing. As the ad says, “Slash cuts through all the bulls**t” and plays with raw and precise riffs and solos that can melt one’s face off. 

Paradise City for me is the essential head banging rock and roll tune that escalates your heart beat and creates a great atmosphere at any party. It’s the type of song that makes any comb a useable microphone and the guitar is heavy enough for all ages to appreciate.

It’s a song that will never die out because it’s iconic, it’s simple and it gets right to the point.

Slash rules, Dunlop rules. End of discussion.

My all time favorite is November Rain! Probably the only song ever to make me get goosebumps at anytime.

The start of welcome to the jungle!!

Slash is one of my favourite guitar players, he has a unique style and sound, I love all the riffs that he wrote, so it’s really difficult to choose one…  his sound in general is so perfect the “crunchy” marshall and les paul combo 
but if i had to choose just one that says SLASH i think it would be OUT TA GET ME

Hy my name is Luca, i’m 15 and i’m from Italy.

It’s a hard question to answer, because there are so many riffs, but i have to choose. Well, my favourite riff is the one from Welcome To The Jungle, even if it isn’t my favourite Guns song, it’s the song that made feel in love with rock music, and the reason why i started palying guitar.
Have a kickass day!

Slash is just a great guitar player that makes great riffs. I’m on the Nightrain!

Legendary guitar player Slash! Best riff is Paradise City!

My favorite riff is Estranged!

The coolest sounding solos are from Civil War!

Every single song is great! To hard for me to choose one in particular!

Awesome chops Slash. The best is Welcome to the Jungle!

We’ve been dancin’ withe Mr. Brownstone.

Nightrain tops my charts!

Very hard but I’d say Nothing to Say!

One of the newer songs I Hold On with Kidd Rock blew me away when I first heard it!

Each and everysingle one!

I’ve got Nothing to Say:)

Back from Cali with Myles Kennedy!

LOCOMOTIVE!!!!! What a riff! Awesome solos too!

My favourite Slash’s riff is Paradise City Riff. It’s few notes, but it can freak out your mind for all day long. When I listen to this riff I want to dance like Axl on Paradise City music video.

Paradise City!

Im on the Nightrain!

Sweet riff=Estranged!

Slash+Les Paul=Amazing sounding riffs.

The coolest is Civil War!

Me and my friends think it is You Could be Mine.. We gon’ win

I like Rocket Queen.

I like them all

Sweet Child of Mine always has a soft spot in my heart. I remember finally being able to play the intro riff as a beginner many years ago. It felt like such an accomplishment!

Night Train simply because of its blues rock influence and it has attitude 

Slash is my favorite guitar player of all time, he has proved everybody that he’s got it all. You don’t just wake up and find out that you’re really good at something, you need dedication and Slash has that dedication! Music isn’t just something he does; it’s who he is and what he loves to do. When he plays, he feels what he’s playing and he can show it! His riffs and solos are beyond awesome, he has his own style! These are only a few reasons why he’s one of my idols. He also inspired me to start playing guitar but I’m just learning.

Choosing which Slash guitar riff is my favorite is really hard because he has so many great riffs… I love “Paradise City”, “Nightrain”, “Welcome To The Jungle” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” from Guns N’ Roses; “Doin’ Fine”, “Back and Forth Again” from Slash’s Snakepit; “Dirty Little Thing” and “Slither” from Velvet Revolver and “We’re All Gonna Die” and “Crucify the Dead” from his solo album “Slash”. In conclusion, he can make riffs like no one.

But my favorite riff is “Rocket Queen” from Appetite for Destruction (which is also my favorite album from Guns N’ Roses). It’s amazing how much feeling and emotion Slash put into that song. There’s something special about this one, it has the right note selection, sounds fucking awesome. I think nothing can beat that riff, it’s killing and memorable and sounds fucking attractive. The most important thing on a riff is something that’s really catchy and something that sticks with you and “Rocket Queen” can do it. 

Sorry for any mistake, english is not my native language. I hope that you can understand what I wrote and the meaning Slash’s riffs have to me.

And Don’t Forget “The Godfather Theme” Live In Tokyo 1992

When are the winners going to be chosen? 

Slash has made some amazing music in his career…..it is hard for me to pick a favorite song or riff, but I have to say Welcome To the Jungle comes to mind the first….when the volume is loud and that riff starts…I feel like I am a teenager again…the energy and fire from that song is incredible…that IS ROCK N ROLL and its best….the riff kicked off an intense set of songs from an album that was easily one of rock’s best ever albums. When I used to see Guns N Roses in concert and when that riff started the show it was like buckle up, hold on and you all are going for the wildest ride in music. There was nothing like a Guns N Roses concert. The energy and excitement was unmatched. I am thankful that I got to witness that first hand and miss that band as a whole in concert. Their music lives on and Slash for one continues to evolve and make incredible music. With GNR, Snakepit, Velvet Revolver and on his own, Slash shows he is a major force in the rock world. The guy is an amazing talent and I am thankful for all that he does. Years ago that riff welcomed me to his world and I am glad to call that jungle my rock home….rock on Slash and rock on Dunlop….when you give people the right tools, you can do ANYTHING.

My computer tripped out and this extra post went through sorry..I tried to delete it but could not find an edit to delete…

speed parade. it had that dirty blues sound but thrash power and it showed just how good slash was at rippin it up on the guitar. theres no way to pick one riff but this to me was such a defining song and made me love slash and everything he does.

my favorite guitarriff of slash is definitely the intro of sweet child o mine, because this song brought me and my girlfriend together. it was the riff i just had to learn at first. that intro. just when you hear the first note, its an amazing feeling. cant explain.

Slash’s (Snakepit) ”Mean Bone”. 
That songs feels is so RAW & POWERFUL! It gives me Energy, Strength, and gets any bad vibe out of my soul!!!
I freaking love to hear it and rock it on my guitar!!! 

Amy B
I’m born and bread in stoke like slash I moved to Guernsey when I was 5. I’m 14 now my favs are gotten and sweet child of mine my dad wont let me listen to alot of the songs cus of the swearing

I gotta go with Back from Cali or Nightrain, the reason I love back from cali riff is because when I was aboard working, and I was feeling homesick I got addicted to that song due to the last sentence “And all I want is to.. come home..” so the riff sorta sticked in my head

Nightrain, well the energy and that’s when I decided to learn the guitar, I wanted to be able to do that kind of stuff.

All the best from Portugal

I always loved Slash for his lead work more than his riffs, but if I had to pick I’d go with Slither’s opening riff.  Yeah, that’s right, something other than G’n'R.  Suck it old guys.

Paradise City for sure, just because its so damn gritty, and has the good ole rock n roll feel with that tinge of bluesy goodness that slash is so well known for.

Slash is one of my favourite guitar players, he has a unique style and sound, I love all the riffs that he wrote, so it’s really difficult to choose one…  his sound in general is so perfect the “crunchy” marshall and les paul combo but if i had to choose just one that says SLASH i think it would be OUT TA GET ME

Always On The Run- this shows how diverse Slash is in that this song really allows him to show he is not only rocking but also funky:) 

I have been listening to Guns N Roses since I was a baby. I was dancing and singing along to song such as Mr. Brownstone and Welcome to the Jungle since I was old enough to walk. Slash has always been an hero of mine because of all that he has overcome not a lot of people could live to tell a story like his. His solo in November Rain leaves me in a trance. No matter what is going on in my life when I hear that song it bring me joy. Meeting Slash was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I waited 4 hours outside in the cold Seattle night to meet my hero and say a quick hello. I have read every book written on Guns N Roses they have always been a huge part of my life especially Slash. Guns N Roses music is what has always brought my father and I together, we haven’t ever had a close relationship but his love of Guns in Roses is what started me listening to GNR. Most of my childhood he spent in prison but I always felt like when I listened to GNR he was there with me. Now that I’m older we spend a lot of time listening to Guns in Roses together because that is both of our all time favorite band.

Mr. Brownstone rocks!!

Wish I was endorsed by Dunlop. Hi  I am Young Guitarist of the Year can you endorse me?! James Bell

I like Double Talkin’ Jive because the main riff is simply badass and the Phrygyan Spanish-like solo is awesome, I also like the main riff in Coma and the solo, the way the solo starts is like if the guitar is kicking out a door, is very abrupt and after that i like how everything falls into place, the rhythm guitar under the solo sounds amazing, that adds another dimension to it… cool songs overall

Speed Parade is always in my head, oh, and You could be mine.    

Easy, the intro to “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”  Maybe a lick/riff combo, but definitely signature Slash.
