How Many More Times

Does this song have a riff? If so what is it?

Instead of getting technical (I'm not a musician anyway)...

So are there many riffs in a song? Im guessing the lead guitar player plays the riff. Is the drummer playing the beat or the bass player? I really dont know. I think there is some kind of formula.
