Intros and Riffs
You know how when you hear a song for the first time in a while and all of sudden you remember how fu*king cool that song was? Now when I mean cool, I mean gets the testosterone flowing cool, rather than a “my Ectasy just wore off, aren’t those dandelions” cool. When I say gets your testosterone flowing, I mean in a normal get’s you up in your seat way, rather than a "let’s put on some camouflage and go play paintball" way.
But today’s list is going to even more specific than that – I’m going to list the top “coolest parts of songs.” I'm more of an instrumental guy rather than lyrics guy, so that's all you're going to see.
In no particular order:
- Intro, Crazy Train, Ozzy Ozzbourne
- Riff + Solo, middle part of Four Horseman, Metallica
- Main riff, Leper Messiah, Metallica
- Intro, Welcome to the Jungle, Guns N’ Roses
- Intro, Sweet Dreams, Marilyn Manson
- First solo, Master of Puppets, Metallica
- Intro, Hells Bells, ACDC
- Drum beat, post chorus, Unforgiven II, Metallica
- Main Riff, Back in Black, ACDC
- Main Riff, The Game, Motorhead

some that you didn't mention that i love:
-intro riff to "master of puppets", as well as the doubled guitar interlude at about 3:52
-lars' bass pedal overload during "one"
-intro to "sweet child 'o mine" by g&r
-intro to "it's so easy" by g&r
-main riff of "thunderstruck" by ac/dc
-the last 2:30 of weezer's "only in dreams"
-the guitar solo of "stairway to heaven"
-intro to smashing pumpkins' "today"
-riffs for zeppelin's "living loving maid" and "rock and roll" (my choice if i was in the mlb and got to pick my at-bat music)
-all of the darkness' "i believe in a thing called love"

Great list - and all crossed my mind. It was just a matter of what classification of cool did these parts belong. For instance, did the intro to master of puppets, fit into the "let's go mosh and break some glass windows" cool? DId the intro to smashing pumpkins belong in the "let's watch the sunset and reminisce" cool?
But all are great parts to songs. Some other great parts would be final solo in fade to black, rhythm in the middle of "to live is to die", intro to judas priest "breaking the law"
