The riff that announced a new supergroup to the world, but it wasn’t the first time Morello had used it – the riff appears on Enola Gay, from 1995’s Weatherman with Vic Bondi.

LOSE YOURSELF

EMINEM

The best guitar riff on a rap single since Walkthisway, with an outstanding shuffle feel.

ALL MY LIFE

FOO FIGHTERS

In 2002, Allmylife rocked hard, setting out the stall as lead single for the Foos’ first album of the 21st century. And though Dave Grohl might be the band’s resident megastar, if push comes to shove, it’s Chris Shiflett’s guitar part that we’ll be fighting for. At face value, these are two remarkably similar parts, but in the verses Chris lays down the syncopated, almost funky single-note lines as well as the two-note shapes that Dave mirrors. Shiflett also delivers the textural part that accompanies Grohl’s powerchords during the breakdown, and he takes the unison string bends in the outro, too. The spotlight will always be on Dave, but most of the magic happens with Chris here.

MY LAST SERENADE

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE

The driving rhythms that defined the American metalcore of the new millennium still kick every bit as hard today.

CAN’T STOP

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

Some will say that 1999’s Californication was the last great Chilis album, but Can’tstop saw John Frusciante and co bring funk into the 21st Century.

GET FREE

THE VINES

A memorable string-bending riff forms this iconic track from Aussie rockers The Vines, who would inspire a young Alex Turner.
