    Clapton didn't write that riff, you goose! Dwayne Allman did, and he played most of the lead part as well!

    Anyway, I'd go for the intro to Johnny B. Goode, by Chuck Berry.

    WOW! Is my face red.

    Clapton is still a genius though, I could try and get out of it by saying I never specifically said he wrote it, but I would be lying to myself and to all of you.

    It has to be either the riff at the start of guns and roses 'aint it funny' or the one about 3 minutes into 'sweet child of mine'

    Life is a game the more u play the more u enjoy!

    I'd have to agree. Great song altogether, too. It might be my favorite Metallica song to this day.

    A lot of Dream Theater's stuff. Especially on their 2003 album, Train of Thought. It's so insane. Also a lot of things that Randy Rhoads have done is insane as well.
