The alternative 10 greatest riffs of all time

Your favourites as you've never heard them before

8. Day Tripper

This pint-sized Jean Michel-Jarre goes by the name of Yuuki, and seems hugely proud of his ability to play John Lennon's most popular riff on one of his (or more likely his dad's) many synths. It's a feelgood victory for pushy parenting.

7. Enter Sandman

Frequently the last refuge of the man who can't play anything else, the kazoo is more comedy prop than musical instrument. It's been put to good use here, though: with the help of some video editing software, Mister Tim has given you the chance to hear how Metallica's 1991 hit would sound if it was performed by a plague of wasps.

6. Back In Black

Suzuki's cult Omnichord replaces the guitar in this live rendition of AC/DC's evergreen riff-powered monster: it's played by Matt Mahaffey of American pop/rock band Self. Impressively, he's also responsible for the drums and vocals - it's like watching a non-technophobic Jack White.
