I love how the entire metal community just agrees that this is the heaviest fucking riff ever.

This is not a riff....This is THE RIFF!!!!!!

One night, Scott Ian wrote the heaviest riff in the past 4.5 billion years of the Earth's history. This was the turning point for the entire universe. Since that day noone has been able to write anything heavier. Chemists have recently found out that Scott Ian is the worlds heaviest element, so you will never see anything that exceeds this riff.

The Heaviest Riff known to mankind, simple, elegant, destructive, face melting. Saw them play it live!

My high school years were awesome! Thank you to SOD, Anthrax, Slayer, Metallica, and Exodus

I had a metal show on my college radio station MANY years ago, and this is the song I opened my show with every week.

Danny Lilker is a true hardcore legend🤘

I can listen to this over and over !! Headbangers ball picked the finest riff for their opening theme on Saturday nights 🤘🤘🤘

Funny story about this song: I work with my family at a mom & pops jewelry store. It was the Christmas rush and the showroom was packed. We had the radio on and my dad came down to help in the showroom and decided to turn the CD changer on which was usually filled with Christmas CDs (this is back in the 90’s). Little did he know that we had this album in the first slot because we were jamming it while setting up the cases that morning. THIS RIFF came on cranked up to 11. My dad said “that’s not Christmas music” while customers looked around confused. One of my favorite memories at work.

I still listen to the this as as much as I did in 85

I remember back then I was maybe about 16 years old probably 17 not sure but I was in juvenile doing community service outside of juvie cleaning up and there was this one guy there it was just me and him he was a little bit older than me he told me all so you like metal because I was wearing a heavy metal shirt and he said have you heard of s.o.d. and I was like no so he had me over his headset but which was a Walkman back then and I just heard this and was amazed at the sound of heaviness how that started I went and bought the cassette and that just turned everything for me awesome memories till today now I just recently bought two s.o.d. shirts that I'm wearing happily because those were my years

I stop in on this GEM from time to time. S.O.D is the greatest Jam Band of ALL TIME ! 🤘🤘

Lilker RULES!!! We need S.O.D. back!!!!

This is absolutely printed on my DNA since 1985

You forget how hard and underrated SOD is... Glad to see them waving their flag again 🏴‍☠️

How does this not have 2000000000 views...

This is what the definition of “power trio” really is.

Changed my style of playing forever when I was a young man back in the day. I'm 55 and still got my foot to the floor, "HEAVY METAL FOREVER" SHOW YOUR HORNS!!! 🤘🤘

When you hear this riff..... YOU KNOW ITS MOSH TIME!!!!

If this doesn't get your head bobbing, then you're freakin dead

Scott is one of the best riffers in Metal.

One of the first riffs we learned back in the day.

This is what they play when Godzilla comes to town.

Just an EPIC, EPIC bit of bass, guitar, and drum work. They way the drums move the riff to offbeats and then back again. Wow! I was instantly taken in.

That was fun. I also liked seeing King Diamond on the shelf.

Hello from Bulgaria one favourite kid band

Just watched this with my gf...NOT a metal girl. HOWEVER she did enjoy this. Now we gonna rabbit hole SOD, Anthrax and all kinds of good stuff. By the end of the day she will be yelling SLAAAYYAAAA at everything!!!

Now we just need to show car, train and plane accidents and we can get this headbangers ball started

Music to my ears.

I'm 51 and I bang my fucking head the hole clip thanks guys needed that!

Cool Kings X t-shirt!

Hey bro, that one guy pissed me off so I blasted out a new cover of United forces yesterday for all you dudes!! Thank you guys for the SOD, MOD, Anthrax and Nuclear Assault, I've been listening and trying to play to since 1987.

Hardest Riffs ever on Speak English or Die. My high school years. The feelings i felt when i heard these hard riffs was like a drug, thanks guys.

I was standing in the first row when they played that. I couldn't help but headbang the s#&@ out of me with a tear in my eye

To me, this IS Anthrax. Since Fast as a Shark ❤

HELL YEAY!!!

Hell yes!

Okay, I know I'm way late but why is it that Charlie doesn't look like he even aged a day????

I was hoping "Sargent D and the S.O.D." would start after that!

"Life Is March Of The SOD" !!! 🤘😈🤘

How I miss old school super fucking heavy shit. Thank you.

OMFG Thank you guys for doing this! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!

I love every second of that!

I watched a thrash documentary one guy said quote, “ ah fuck March of the S.O.D. you hear that from blocks away.” We jammed it in Iraq on loudspeakers in our Hummvees it was glorious.

Yeeesss thank you guys,really fun i the Hymn of metal.

Such an awesome suprise!.. I just was watching SOD and this came up.. thanks you guys are awesome for doing this. 🤟

Thank you brothers ..I needed a pick me up

Superb

Loved this Riff and this song since the first time I heard it.

I had to come back and listen to this again. 🤘

If I ever start a band, THAT, will be our intro at every live koncert!

That was badass!! Good way to wake up in the morning!

Played this on Barr chords and in 88 89 yeah the stuff Metal dreamed of. I played this on my axe yesterday friends over, it's old skewl...Scott Ian of Anthrax! On here too too unreal. Those were metal root years good times.

That was awesome! i've picked up one of Scott's guitar picks at one of the many shows i've seen, I've hung out with Dan when my buddys band opened for Nuclear Assault, and I've seen SOD live in Chicago, Billy sang with a brace or cast on his leg, met Billy at the show, i remember he doesn't like to sign autographs or i would have gotten one.

Yeah ! Quarantine or else ! Sgt.D is comin and you're on his list !!

Danny you have allways been the man. Keep it up please..

This is Fucking Awesome!! CALL BILLY!

Always fun playing along to this intro riff 🤘💀

I used to skate to this sh!t! My Steve Caballero board with bones wheels and torn airwalk shoes. I didn't need anything else

Best thing I’ve seen and heard since the virus started. Thank guys. Please do another album and get a new singer so when I turn 50 in December I can have something to look forward to.

Listened to Persistence of Time and SOD Live at Budokan during first months of quarantine. What an amazing album. Damn I didn’t appreciate it when I was younger.

Thank you

Hey guys, never thought we would live this long! Shout out to Danny Scott Charlie, and Billy (in Texas now I heard, Tommy from City Gardens, I was one of the two guys you met first, at CG on Calhoun st in Trenton, NJ. We did your load in/load out.

The whole album was just something that just happened... There was nothing like it before and there was nothing like it afterwards. Thanks to Scott, Danny, Charlie, and Billy!!

Two strings and aggression is all you need.
