Total Guitar magazine's readers voted Guns N' Roses' anthem Sweet Child O' Mine as the greatest guitar riff ever ahead of Nirvana's grunge anthem Smells Like Teen Spirit. Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love came third, followed by Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water. Total Guitar editor Scott Rowley said: "To a new generation of guitarist's, Guns N' Roses are more thrilling than the Sex Pistols."
