      Dual guitars. There’s so many cool layers to it. From two rhythm guitars to Iron Maiden to Dethklok. Or triple and quadruple is good too:) Just skip Queen. Brian needs his own episode.

    Kid Gloves - OMG - yes. Did not see that coming, which is a good thing.
    The riff is killer, of course. The solo is one of, if not my favorite solo of all time. Just amazing stuff from a guy that's, let's face it, is overlooked compared to his bandmates.

    • @theoriesabound6711

    For my money, it would be Panama; but you’re right, that whole album is full of magic. Dig the theme of the video. 👍 Maybe you could do a more specific breakdown: like best riffs of the 80’s in Phrygian dominant, or something like that...

I had dabbled with guitar for about 3 years, my grandpa made bluegrass records, my dad played and after I heard that album that was it for me. There were no "Uncle Bens" back then so I had to teach myself, which I did along with Cherry Lane tab books that would take 4-6 weeks to arrive cause you had to send a check.

    A Great list from a great time to be alive! I was 16 in 1984 and a Sophomore in high school. I Got my driver's license that year and we did a LOT of cruisin' to almost all of these songs. I had already been playing guitar for 4 years by 1984 and could play most of these riffs back then and still play them today. Another great, but lesser known, band of the 80's (and still touring today) is Y&T. Their album "In Rock We Trust" was released in July of '84. "Lipstick & Leather" and "Don't Stop Running" are just two of the many great songs from that album. Dave Meniketti is such an amazing musician as both a guitar player and singer. Keep up the great work with these lists. They bring back a lot of "most excellent" memories from those really fun years. 🎸 🎸 🎸

    I love these kind of videos. My suggestion is to go back farther in time to the 1960s, maybe starting with 1964 and do YOUR top 20 riffs for each year. That's a ton of content right there.

    As someone who was a 14 yo guitarist in 1984, I approve this list. Thanx nephew Ben!

    Man, you were born in the wrong decade. With the exception of the Talking Heads tune (I just never could get into them), you just laid out a good portion of my high school soundtrack. You must do one of these lists from '87--sooooooo many great rock albums dropped that year.

    Finally, someone hit up the awesomeness of maiden! 83 was another great year for music...bark at the moon, shout at the devil, eliminator, pyromania, syncronicity... ahhh.

    I go to Uncle Ben’s page to improve my technical prowess, and it’s awesome that he worships EVH and the power of old school Metal that I grew up with. With that said, U2 used to be a guitar band. Sure, it’s not technical, but it was so unique and massively influential back then. U2 released ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ in 1984 which was full of guitar goodies, but Pride and Bad were easily the most famous that year.

    Awww man! You got me so good with the Talking Heads intro! I fell in love with it again when I watched “The Boys”

    You should totally make these a series! Usually when I click on these kind of video's I expect to see the same lists over and over again but you introduce me to new music by putting in a lot more effort it's awesome!

    I was in high school in 1984. I really miss that whole decade. Every type of music was at the top of it's game. Rock, metal, pop, rap, etc...

    I came here from the Best Riffs of 1985 video just to say that I was 9 years old in 1984...
    And also, I had to pause this video after every entry to go listen to the full song before coming back to watch the rest of this one... except for The Scorpions... I had to listen to Rock You Like A Hurricane like 15 times to get it out of my system before coming back here.

    The year I graduated from high school!!!! We played a lot of Rush. I was the bass player. A lot of Geddy lines helped me get better on the guitar.
