The article from Ultimate-Guitar.com discusses Zakk Wylde’s opinion on the origins of metal riffs. Specifically, Wylde was asked to identify what he considers the “first metal riff of all time,” and he named the riff from Cream’s song “Sunshine of Your Love” as the pioneering metal riff. He also mentioned that this riff predates the work of Black Sabbath, often credited with creating heavy metal music. This perspective highlights Wylde’s view on the evolution of metal music and its early influences.
