Answer 10

Dead Boys/Guns N' Roses; Ain't It Fun
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MmTueySPqEI
It's a Dead Boys riff, but i prefer the sound of GNR's version, and it's hard to find a good quality Dead Boys video/sound on youtube.

Guns N' Roses; It's So Easy
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7Poi9zDM1wY

Christian Death; Spiritual Cramp

[don't mind the video, hehe]

Answer 11

Check out Led Zepplin man. "Whole Lotta Love". Also Pantera's "Walk", Metallica's "Blackened"(the first change in the song is amazing) and also by Metallica "Leper Messiah"...in fact anything of the album "Master of Puppets" is killer.
