My Top 10 Metal Riffs...
Рет қаралды 154,096
3 жыл бұрынI'm sure I'm missing 1000's of riffs that deserve to be in the lineup though put on the spot this is pretty much it for me.
Out of all aspects of music, it's the metal riff that drives me the most. Something about the guitar tone, note choice and execution that makes me want to pick up the guitar.
I used Neural DSP's Archetype Nolly for the recording. A really great all round amp sim that I highly recommend. Find out more at neuraldsp.com
If you want the preset I made you can find it here - drive.google.com/file/d/1zXId...

I'm pretty sure Kiko wrote Conquer Or Die, almost entirely... I'm brazilian, and I think he said that in one of his videos in portuguese, but can't remember 100% surely. Great selection milord. Master Of Puppets and Holy Wars main riffs are my top 1, hands down, I can vibe and headbang into these songs until I die. But Orion/Hangar 18 are f*cking master pieces, I love Cliff's love & strength, and I love Marty/Dave harmony, the "solo duet" in the end of H18 it's unbeliavable. Keep it up, love your vids and tones!

I feel the appreciation for South Of Heaven is along the lines of those who get it and those who don't. That intangible heavyness by the slowing of the groove, ... but you nailed it. Definitely share the same appreciation for that song!

Right before you mentioned Floods, I had the riff playing in my head. Somehow I sensed it was going to be next when you talked about it being "emotional". Probably my overall favorite Pantera riff and song. Love the Deth, Metallica, and Slayer mentions too. I'm a thrash head myself and ever since I started playing guitar, thrash always just excited me and made me want to play faster. Deth is probably my favorite of the bunch though. Cheers brother!
