Also, Crazy Train. But is it the intro riff, or the second intro riff, or the main choo choo train riff?

Take your pick from Black Sabbath.

I'll go for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or maybe Supernaut or how about St Vitus Dance.

I see your riff and give you a classic riff and a great solo.

Mind you, Day Tripper was a good call.
