I know most of you prefer the older tunes and riffs of the Stones, but there have been quite a few really great ones from Bridges to Babylon to A Bigger Bang. The truly memorable riffs are maybe are not as frequent as in the earlier days but they still rock. This was always one of my favorites. Are there others?





Sometimes the simplest riffs are very effective.

I've always thought Low Down, S.S.M.C., & It won't take long are highly original and new from Keef!! and is exploring new sounds and riffs! MACH 3!

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Yes, I agree Low Down is a great later day Keef riff. As is Gun Face, It Won't Take Long, and You Don't have To Mean It!

.. what are you talking about ????

Dangerous Beauty has a good riff, I agree about Lowdown, I would like to add Flip The Switch.

I wish this one had made it onto a finished track (but it's a great listen as it is - reminds me a bit of Happy):

suspended 4th..

Too Tight from B2B is pretty mean.

Much more than this, is great, is cojonudo

I also like Jump on Top of Me.

I can take the rebound just like lightning.

Too Tight, Lowdown and Love Is Strong all offered decent latter-day riffs. You Got Me Rocking is distinctive but nothing special.

it wont take long..................... same from the struggle saga

All the rockin tunes from ABB I'd say. Plus above mentioned.

And Hi! to Rockie Rockman from da oool' Trenchtown ape.

Hey Back Of The Palm ....good ta see ya still alive ....

Breathe fire stay cool.....Rockeeee Rock Foot ....

"Low Down" was also the very first that popped in my head. But "She saw me coming", "I won't be long" are more likely Jagger riffs, right?

This is very posible; i think most of the Keithism guitars are played by Mick

Voodoo Residue - courtesy of the wonderful UrbanSteel. The track on the boot goes on for a while longer than the YouTube version with some semi-audible chat between Mick and Keith and another shorter attempt at the song.

"Struggle"
"Eileen"
"Thru And Thru"

Thank you, ladies.
I wasn't aware I've been missing Voodoo Residue.
I find it a bit confusing to keep track of those 1993 studio boots, since some of them seem to be overlapping.
Hoodoo Scrounge,Voodoo Stew, Voodoo Brew, Voodoo Residue...anything else?

I'll be visiting Urban Steels great archive soon.

Liddas, where in How Can I Stop and Infamy do you hear any riffs?

Love Is Strong
Low Down
It Won't Take Long
She Saw Me Coming

Solo wise:
Take It So Hard
Struggle
How I Wish - maybe not a standout riff but it's certainly a great song
Wicked As It Seems
Will But You Won't
Runnin' Too Deep

"Five String Riffin'" from Voodoo Sessions.

Well, I don't know differntly can I call that superb combination of double stop / sigle notes runs that goes from sec. 4 to sec. 30 of How can I stop.





OR the single notes line that K plays through out Infamy

Again a pitty they don't play these songs live. It would be a great song at least in a smaller club.
