No way!!
Tony Iommi and Sabbath have some of the greatest riffs in metal history!
Paranoid,Iron Man,Sabbath Bloody Sabbath,War Pigs,Black Sabbath,Children of the Grave the list goes on and on.
Deep Purple have two stand out ones-Smoke on the Water and Black Night.
Just my humble opinion though!
I never said Sabbath did`nt have the riffs..............
Going on about riffs(and i still think Purple had the best ones),a few months ago i bought a 60's phsycodelic 3 cd set & realised one of my favourite Purple riffs 'Black Night' was a blatantly slowed down riff 'borrowed' from a tune called 'We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet' by The Blue Magoos.Just thought i'd share that with you

Yep, I knew that as I bought the Blues Magoos record when it came out in 1967. Lots of heavy rock tunes are "recycled" from other songs. "Whole Lotta Love" is copped from "You Need Love" written by Willie Dixon and originally performed by Muddy Waters. It was the subject of a court case which Dixon won.
