Default Best guitar riff in a Bon Jovi song ?

First of all Richie doesn't know how to do good guitar riffs like Jimmy Page or Slash...
Anyway, what's the best guitar riff you've heard from Richie ?

For me it's either the main Lay Your Hands On Me riff or the Welcome To The Good Times one.

My favorite has to be the riff from SNL, when they played IML.. "Baby don't back down" then there is the bass and then the distortion and feed back make the riff the best.... Listen to it!!! It is beautiful

BOUNCE,
Ryan

What about the In and Out Of Love riff? I think that sounds excellent live and I'd love to be able to play it. A lot of the good riffs sound simple to play such as Eric Clapton with Layla, Deep Purple with Smoke On The Water, Led Zeppelin with Whole Lotta Lovce, Houses of Holy, Kashmir, etc, but I bet they are far from simple. A guitar riff can make or break a song really. The good ones are remmebered and the bad ones are forgotten. I'd certianly love to be able to play some of the simple, but good ones, Maybe I should take up playing guitar.

Another good riff, is from Wanted Dead Or Alive. That sounds awesome on an acoustic.

Slash?????? Isn't he dead.... or is it detox???? Your kidding aren't you...... What, he strings four notes together at the beginning of Sweet Child and he's a rock god - give me strength - don't even say the word Slash in the same sentence as Richie - their is no comparison!

I think Crash Diet was just saying that Slash is better at writing riffs than Richie is, rather than saying he is a better guitarist. Richie's songs are very rarely riff based, whereas Slash's and Guns n Roses are almost all riff based, therefore I think it is only fair to say that Slash is better at writing riffs. I still prefer Richie's playing though. Whether or not he is better.........well.........6 of one, half a dozen of the other really.

Jimmy Page rules though!!!
