Vocabulary and phrases to describe a rock riff

Hi there,

I'm trying to find very casual, somewhat slangish expressions to describe a rock riff. Let's say I'm talking to a good friend of mine about AC/DC's riff from their song "Back in Black" or Led Zeppelin's "Heartbreaker". I've come up with these 3, but I'm sure you could help me find better phrases... Dictionaries can't help much in this case.

1) I love this big, fat riff followed by vocals from hell!
2) This riff just kicks a...! (the bottom part of a human body)
3) I love this roaring screaming guitar riff!

Thanks
