* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When it was first formed Riff had a singer, Juan Carlos García Haymes, but fans wanted to hear nothing of him. Be it rock, blues or heavy metal, Music/{{Pappo}}'s voice was part of his personal style, and there was no way the fandom would accept someone else other than Pappo singing in a band that has Pappo in the line-up.

Riff is a heavy metal from Argentina.

Music/{{Pappo}} halted his solo career "Pappo's Blues" in 1980 and started the band Riff with Michael Peyronel, Boff and Vitico. It was the first major heavy metal band in Argentina, taking NewWaveOfBritishHeavyMetal influences. They released their first LP "Ruedas de Metal" in 1981, followed by "Macadam 3... 2... 1... 0" and "Contenidos". Most concerts ended in violence, forcing the band to break up in 1983.

Riff returned in 1985, and by this time the local heavy metal scene was more populated. They released "Riff VII", with JAF singing alongside Pappo. The reunion was short-lived, JAF and Vitico started solo careers and Pappo moved to the United States. From that point on, the band stayed as a side-project of Pappo and Vitico, who reunited it several times to release some new album and make some concerts, and then return to their other projects.

Pappo died in 2005, but the band returned for some concerts in 2018.
