Which song has it?

There's a documentary about it isn't there? Some black guy (I think) had this riff in his song in the 50's or something and it's been copied a million times and it's since been trademarked by someone else?

The first riff takes me back to a time I wasn't even born in cause all of the late 60's movies I've seen. Would give my right nut to go back in time and been alive back then.

Buckethead is essentially a quasi-human quasi-riff machine, and there are a slew of good riffs to be found in his body of word. The problem is that it is buried in his 3,000+ albums among a bunch of noodling crap that normal people would cut out of a final product.

Too many to pinpoint a single one.

Too many, agree with Fortress, but if I had to chose for my kind of music it would be black sabbath - anything.

The baddest, most face melting shit I ever heard was Jimi Hendrix on the "Band of Gypsies" album. Track 4 is called "Power of Love".

I think it's supposed to be called "Power of Soul" but anyway this shit changed my life. Jimi retired the jersey on that shit. Play it loud and listen to the whole thing.
