The 'Guess the Riff' thread - Non-Guitarists Welcome!

For the last hour I've been trying to set up my stuff, but it sounds so bloody dreadful. I just get a load of white noise which drowns out my killer riffs. My guitar only has four strings, intonation is screwed, all my cables are broken and my amp is shot. I hate life.

Quick, someone, for the love of god, more riffs! (Whilst I buy a damned tone port or something in the meantime).
 
I will probably have a go at recording one of these tomorrow. All very much depends on whether i actually know 5 distinct riffs to play :P

Sod it, I've decided to do one. Apologies but I am basically playing clean through my stereo, and the quality is just awful, additionally I only have 4 strings and the intonation is buggered. As a bonus though it proves my point Clinkz that metal sounds rubbish clean! This will no doubt elevate me to idiot status ++8 though :eek:

No 1 is: Joe Satriani - Circles. Brilliant song!

Don't be so self depreciating, I thought it was fine!

1. Joe Satriani - Circles *beaten*
4. Slayer - Raining Blood
 
Ack, I only recognised riffs 2 & 4 from I_Am_Vengeance - Riff Mix 1.... and they'd already been identified.

I really need to listen to more music.

Got the day off due to office power cut. Bored. Here's another one. 4 is slightly dodgy.

1. metallica - master of puppets
2. Paul Gilbert - You Kids ?
3. ?
4. Queens of the Stone age - You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire
5. Limp Bizkit - The One?

I doubt number 2 is right, but if number 5 is, I'm a god :D

Theres still a few more left to guess (see OP). I will probably do another one later too.

Surprised you got number 4 tbh!

Sadly 2 & 5 wrong, but I can name at least two more songs myself for number 5 that use that chord progression...wonder if anyone will get the one I'm aiming for.
