Broken Beat and Scarred after the solo...when there's no drums, just guitar.

Mine would have to be either Suicide & Redemption by Metallica off Death Magnetic right at 3:06 or the intro riff/line to Hex Omega by Opeth off Watershed.
Both riffs/lines get me going in a big way. But ultimately the Suicide & redemption riff is one of my all time favorites. I hated that song up until i finally listened to it long enough to hear that riff... now i love the song because from that mark to the end, the song is fantastic.
BTW, there is a youtube video a guy put together with Hex Omega synced up to some scenes from the movie sunshine... its pretty cool especially the beginning.

Yes Suicide & Redemtion is a good song, actually my favourite on that record. My favourite riff of Watershed is probably the opening riff in "Porcelain Heart", it so evil, MIGHTY EVIL :twisted:

My fav riff of 2008 is the main/verse riff to "that was just your life" off Death Magnetic

Wow looks like death magnetic is very overrated record. Just because its metallica's it doesnt mean its best in any way. My favorite would be Testament's Formation Of Damnation all way from the start riff to middle of the song.

I would love to put TONS of my favorite 08 riffs, but my all time favorite would be Elevator by Ihsahn. The beginning of Elevator is great but when its gets 30 seconds in... pure magic! Love the counterpoint!

****, so many great ones to choose from. But i'd have to say my favorite belongs to a band that wouldn't even traditionally be classified as metal.
Russian Circles - Station (after the initial buildup, the riff that starts at about 1:18)

the first song that comes to mind for me is "dominhate" by Elvenking. not just the riff, but the entire song and how it moves.

I would agree on both counts. Metallica is way too overrated. To me they have not had any good songs or tones since the black album. Testaments new album is absolutely a rhythm and lead guitars players wet dream. Both guitar tones are killer with lots of mids to them. Eric Peterson has laid his best work to date on this record.
I would love to know Eric's setup for his killer tone on this record. I know he is a Marshall man so his tone is coming out of EL34's

Why is it overrated if people like it? I dont think anyone here thinks a certain riff is the best BECAUSE its metallica, its just what people like.

Tones on Load, while not "metal' are killer and some of their best. Garage Inc has some of the best guitar tones of their career.
