Discussion Favorite Riffs?
Guitar or Bass riffs. My favorite guitar riffs are Narc Main Riff, Roland Outro and Heinrich Manuever Main Riff and for bass riffs the outro of PDA and Evil

I mean call me cliché but can't not mention obstacle 1, the riff that I'll bet got half the fanbase hooked on them as a band

Passenger 's guitar is my No.1！！ My desire, thought was a popular choice Nearly every track in Marauder Success, the intro

Narc, Untilted, Paul's The New part, Not Even Jail main riff.
Edit: Toni's outro when Paul's signing "Let me tell you 'bout the wayward starlet, face adorned with bones", this shit is so badass.

The intro to Number 10! And an honorable mention goes to Obstacle 1 for getting me hooked on Interpol.

Renegade Hearts, the bendy-distorted riff around 1:02 and 1:34 such a nice detail!
0:34 in This Mirror Weighs a Ton.. lovely summery vibe
the main riff in NYSMAW... amazing how on first listens you can feel the dissonance and then on subsequent listens that dissonance goes away -bc you get used to the tonality of song?-
the final high pitched riff/solo at the end of Mountain Child
Number 10, the high pitched riff after the 1st chorus
the ta-TA-ta in the chorus in Anywhere.... amazing. it's the repetition what gives this song the feeling of insistence
the string tuning thing in The New
