"The bit" is on the top of my list, and I'd have to think what the others are...probably the whole riffing of "Instant Larry", also

gwiz

yeah id put 'The Bit' is top of my list too.
i think 'Queen' has a really cool, sludgy riff. definatley a standout riff on stoner which. awsome for a slow tempo song.
that really chunky, bone crunching part of 'the fool, the meddling idiot' when it sounds like armagedden approaching.
heaps of others but these are in my mind at the moment. oh, and basically anything high distortion, palm muted, on dropped D....which is alot!

number two pencil-intro..badass
hooch-chorus
oven

Rembrandt Pussyhorse

TosT

the extra groovy rockin part in "in the freaktose the bugs are dying"

cheeseburger

bass riff in little judas chongo is one of my favs, especially when buzz kicks in with it towards the end. oh ya its shoved has got to be one of the best.

zium

oven, easy as it was, eye flies and anaconda are killer riffs, the it's shoved riffs kick many asses too :)

anyways, the melvins are the riff masters, they have loads of awesome riffs

the controlled feedback on At the Stake. How do they do that?
Also, the Wipers cover Youth of America. Very cool to see live.

Definitely agree with the AMAZON and the fool... crunch part.

Charmicarmicat also kicks ass.

In fact now that I think about it most guitar based Melivns songs have cool riffs - I guess that's why I love them.

i don't think he's using a whammy bar on at the stake.  i think he's just pushing the string down behind the nut.
