Makes me realise that Black Sabbath might be the most influential metal band of all time.
Black Sabbath shaped early metal for sure.
Some say that there are 2 musical period: before and after Beatles. I'll always answer that replacing with Sabbath
Sabbath + Punk is so much music today.
Only if you’re over 50 lmao
Sabbath is where it all starts & ends
"Cool enough for the guys, sexy enough for the girls"
- Josh Homme on the music of QOTSA
😎🤘
That guy is a total tool
literally the most legit way to describe their sound!
Perfection in a quote!!
The riff from Gardenia makes me feel like an ancient being crawling out of the primordial ooze.
Just found out that band is from the Coachella valley where I currently live. That album cover is off Dillon rd going into sky valley right before desert hot springs
no it doesnt
your comment is better than the actual riff
silence anime pfp
What an observation ! You are doing the stoner thing properly !
Gardenia's riff is sweltering, man that whole album deserves the "desert rock" label. Keeps you warm on a chilly day.
The sword is nothing but sweet riffs
The Sword rule....so does Orchid ,😁
Kadavar are also very cool! Really like their thing live. The hound on drums as well.
100%
The beginning of Freya is a top 10 riff to me.
Freya is something that can't get off your mind, absolutely strong riff. Stoner at its best
Just missing some Electric Wizard 😂 Great playing and INSANE tone!
yea where tf is funeralopolis
I love Elder but that riff isn't really anything special, Funeralopolis slays it
Think he's going for more early American stoner vibes, Wizard are a bit more doom/stoner - especially by Dopethrone
and a bit of Pentagram perhaps, no? I am thinking 'Megalania' off Review Your Choices
So glad Mexicola made it onto this list. I've been listening to it for over 15 years now and it still retains the magic
Fucking great song indeed, was not expecting it since much of the samples were from the more 70s psychodelic kinda of stoner
My fav song of all time! Timeless track…even my teen kids enjoy it! 🤘
That sweet spot where someone has almost the same music taste as you, but then plays it on an SG! Top tier work my friend and some fantastic choices.
Everything is better on an SG, haha. Thank you so much dude 🤟🤟
Josh homme…the only guy who puts two songs in that list! Fuckin legend.
i think he technically played on Eatin Dust too
Gardenia was written by Brant Bjork
also this dude couldn't keep up with either
God I love Homme
Sleep got 2 riifs from the same record in that list
Something special about Mexicola that stands out from all of those riffs and yet so simple but powerful
Into The Void by Sabbath is the mother to all these riffs.
100%
Yes
That riff is iconic, but I particularly love the interlude section of Warning between the 3rd and 4th verse. There are like three of four different themes in that section alone. Tony plays solo for like 2 minutes. It's killer.
Sabbath were definitely breaking some new ground in music. Fathers of an era.
"changes" by sabbath is the mother to all these riffs...
Hey everyone! *Thank you so much for your awesome support, you guys are amazing!!* 🙏🙏🙏
Here are some of my favorite Stoner Riffs, from my favorite Stoner Bands.!
Might need a part 2 for this one. Let me know in the comments 😎 🤘🤘
we do need part 2 & part 3! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much bro! Part 2 should be a thing!
@@anastasisstratos5633 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Red Fang is super underrated
The whole scene is underrated unfortunately. 🥲 Thanks for watching dude 🤟
Stop saying everything is underrated
@@MeatCatCheesyBlaster underrated comment bro
Wires is such a good choice.. ripping lyrics too
Karma to burn is so underrated
The whole album is a guitargasm
Definitely! The guitarist passed away a couple of years ago. Rip. Great band!
The riff is really close to bullet in your head from ratm !
Never thought of it that way 🤟
@@bacheletlucas8213 yeah its like ripoff close
@@bacheletlucas8213 Yeah! First time I heard this riff I thought someone was playing a detuned version of Bullet in your head.
I am getting really close to 60. Haven't listened to metal as a habit for over 25 years. These riffs rock. I still play. I learned Paraniod and many Zep albums back in the day. These are some really cool riffs.
In my 60s bud using dadgbd mostly because of carpal tunnel problems but it does open up a wide spectrum of possibilities.
Sounds like you've been making a mistake for over 25 years. 🤘🏻
Start with at least once a week as your goal, then work your way up from there.
You will feel like you started jogging or something.
@@FACTBOT_5000 I honestly like classical a whole lot better.
@@shawn13mertle13Thats interesting that you like metal and classical too. Do you like jazz?
@@Sam-ni6bc I like some jazz. And some country. Not a whole lot. But some. I think just about every genre has a few artist that are to good to ignore.
props for including orchid! such a great band that nobody really knows about.
Hey Alex, thank you! Orchid is kinda underrated. I think it's pretty known in the stoner community though. Those familiar, sabbathian riffs man.. 🤟😎
eyes behind the wall is such a dope track
Such a Sabbathian riff but with their own character as well. Love the tone. Very good stuff 🤟🤟
Orchid? That well known band that possibly every person who is into stoner/doom knows about?
True. If you're into stoner you should know Orchid. Maybe not into the top bands that stick out imo. At least not "mainstream".
the sword is such an underrated band, i’m actually obsessed with then
Man did you nail that Red Fang tone! Great vid overall, nice to discover some riffs (Orchid & Earthless in my case) even after 10 years listening to stoner/doom and thinking you've heard it all :)
Hey Jeremy! Thank you so much dude!🤜🤛
Putting Eatin' Dust as a second mention earned you my like! That riff slaps so hard!
That was amazing. You’ve just caused me to download a load of new tracks. Love stoner. A big thank you and greetings from Scotland
I love that little flair you give to the Dragonaut riffat 2:38. It sounds so much like early Sabbath.
Thank you so much dude! God knows how influenced I was/am by Iommi. I couldn't help it! 😎🤘
Love seeing the sword in there. They tend to be a forgotten giant sometimes.
That Elephant Riders riff is one of my all time favorite riffs. I love playing that song. Also the Karma To Burn sounds a lot like the breakdown in Bullet In The Head by Rage.
I bump that album all summer long; every year 🔥
Elephant Rider is 🤘🤘 and yeah, Karma to burn indeed reminds me of that RATM breakdown.
That moment you realize you know everything from this list
Playing is so good, love it
Nice Max & thank you dude! 😎🤜🤛
Méxicola ufff what a riff 🔥
Hey Alexis. Yeah, one of my favorite QoTSa. 🤟🤟
@@RiffLair x2 bro, this and everybody knows that your insane, skol from Chile 🇨🇱
Love this selection of riffs. Freya is just loaded with sweet riffs all the way through.
A guy showed me the sword when I was like 13 been my favourite band of all time ever since. Warp riders is one of the best albums on mushrooms
The selection of riffs all sound the same lol maybe #8 strays the path
I keep coming back to these video man, amazing job, tone, playing and selection.
Dudes just over there playing a little piece of all my favorite songs
Can't believe a Electric Wizard riff wasn't on the list!
Didn't want to dive into Stoner doom but.. part 2 is coming soon. 😎🤘
Same. Funeralopolis is such a crushing riff
Great selections. Just saw Elder in September. It was the first time since my old band opened for them in 2015.
Thank you Ernie.! That's very cool, opening for them 🤟 😎
This just made me time travel back to all of the times I was fortunate enough to see Red Fang live. Thanks for that.
The Sword - Freya 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟
Legendary stuff
Damn cool riff!! 😎
Stoner rock/metal is a great genre.
😎🤘
Love Fu Manchu, saw them live and it was amazing. Stoked to find others to look up!
The fact that WV natives Karma to Burn are on this list is why I love this video!!
Hey man. Sure, I love their work. 😎🤘
Settin' Sun deals hands of gold!
Sabbath and Zeppelin have always been my go to for chilling, but when I need that surge Pantera and Slayer are good to go ⚡️
Pantera doesn’t do it for me cause I find Phil’s vocals kinda corny. Can’t explain why. But I can listen to show no mercy, reign in blood, south of heaven, and seasons of the abyss on repeat. Different vibe but yeah they give the kick especially when skating pools.
This helps me discover a genre I don't really know, thanks man!
all those songs make me think of my late teens into my 20s, just in love with that genre..a lot of good times with this music in the background!
Awesome dude. Thank you so much for watching 😎🤟
randomly finding this while every morning for this year, each of these songs and bands are in HEAVY rotation for me. Nice picks.
Awesome man! I hope you liked it & thanks for watching!
that orchid riff slays!
Yeah brother 🤟😎
It just wouldn't be a stoner metal list without The Sword and Sleep. Well done!
Yeah dude! SLEEP!!! Matt Pike for president🤘
Great choices! That red fang tone was almost exact.
I have almost all of those songs on my playlist.
Great list and great playing. 🤘
Videos like this are a great resource for discovering new bands. Well done
Thank you.! I agree. I enjoy medleys as well. 🤟😎
So happy to see some Earthless in this list ! Great job dude !
Same, we need more earthless riffs and covers!
Hey Lois, Stacker! Thank you my dudes! I just couldn't leave that riff out. This guy rips! 😎👊
Wires and Mexicola are among mt favorite riffs of all time.
So glad to see Mexicola in this list, my fav qotsa tune off all time!
Damn didn’t except Elephant Riders in there, one of my favorite Clutch albums for sure!
Damn cool riffs in there!🤘😎
Thanks for introducing me to some of these bands. There is a lot of cool music out there!
Cheers dude! Glad to get their music out there 🤟😎🙏
I literally have all of these in my stonerrock playlist. Stonerrock for life!
Great selection! 🤘
Elder is like crack for me, such an awesome band and so many amazing riffs, I haven’t been able to stop listening for hours on end for like over a month lol
DUDE YES and like nobody knows this band it feels like. My best friend and I worship at the alter of their early work up to Reflections
fantastic recorded tone...stellar playing...glad it showed up in my recommended...
These videos need quite some work to make.. I much appreciate this dude! Glad you clicked! 😎🤘
👌 quality man. Yes to every single one of these songs/bands!
Hey there! Thank you so much for this video. I have always known I had a thing for this genre but I did not know bands explicitly. Now I can start my own search from what you have shown me.
Man this video is incredible it should have way more views
Got around a year ago into guitar and recently got into stoner rock. It stands out so much I love it
Excellent taste in music by the way
Thanks a ton brother 🙏 This video has grown the channel a whole lot.
Great sound, tone, and style on your playing!!!!
Thank you so much dude! 😎🤟🤟
Bro your tone is HUGE. Nicely done!
G I B S O N MAKING GUITARIST GREAT ONE GUITAR AT A TIME!
Damn!! Thank you bro 😎🤟
Deserves 6 million followers
Oh Man! Thank you so much. I could do with less than that heh 😜😎
I heard the opening, immediately subscribed.🤘
Thank you so much Philip!! That's awesome. Glad you like the tones 😎🤟
That’s a great set of tunes, tone is spot on and I now have more bands to check out, thanks!
Thank you! Glad you found some new bands to listen to. Rock on! 🤟😎
Great tone. You nailed them 🤘🏻
Cool choice of songs! Not just the same old. Mix of older and new bands!!
Glad you like muly picks. I was tempted to get some Sabbath like Into the void in there but went with these. So many cool bands in the genre. Can't include everyone in only 11 riffs hehe 😎🤟
Great to see Elder there.
Elder are freakin awesome. Not your typical "stoner" riffs in a good way. 🤜🤛
Love your tone and playing! Nice riff choices too :)
Damn these guitars tones are sick. So much depth. So full.
Awesome job! My favorite genre with some of my favorite bands! Kyuss. The Sword. Orchid. Plus Graveyard and Kadavar (who weren't listed 😢)
I like Kadavar but honestly I don't think they could top the other picks in my opinion. Part 2 coming! 🤟
@@RiffLair, fair enough
Nice work! Ye Mexicola!
😎🤟😎🤟🙏🙏
Love this as a way of finding new tunes
I think you picked like 7 of my favorite Stoner rock song from these 10 riffs. Wow great selections. Was expecting black pyramid somewhere but damn, you got the best of the best here. A+ \m/
Really nice selection, the only band band out of the 11 I never listened to is Orchid, just added them on my Spotify ! Cheers
Thank you dude! Yeah, Orchid are cool. It's like listening to Sabbath really.
Gemini is probably my favorite song of all time
Thank you for watching dude. Elder have very cool stuff goin on!
KYUSS - Gardenia ,.. came for it ,. and you did not disappoint ,. Bravo !
amazing mix
This was awesome! Now I want to go learn these riffs!
Hey mofongotron, thank you so much! You go rip those riffs! 🤟🤟🤟
would love to see a couple of ours but hey, maybe next time :)
Hey Stoned Jesus!! 🤘Part 2 coming soon 😎
Hey hey. Part 2 is finally here. Check it out, leave a comment if you like 😎🤘
Bro. I'm so glad you played Eyes Behind the Wall. That song doesn't get enough appreciation imo
thanks! that was awesome!
Great selection of songs. Not just the usual suspects. Nice to see some Orchid, Karma to Burn, and Earthless. Not an Electric Wizard in sight.
Yeah man, thanks.! Electric wizard may be getting a top 11 riffs on their own at some point. But yeah, not the usual suspects. Awesome bands and great riffs! 😎🤟🎸
Thank you for watching brother!
Solid selection! I'd personally add in Orchard by Windhand.
Thanks man! Will have a listen for sure.😎
Yeah!!! Elder has been paid tribute to! Thanks for including them!
Love the Freya riff
List was fantastic and when you ended with Earthless...holy shit man! Can you do some Earthless lessons? Please!!!
I could do some tabs for these kind of songs in the future yeah. Not much time lately 😔
@@RiffLair That would be great and much appreciated I'm sure by a lot of us. Thanks man🤘🏻
I bet I will do some Elder or more of the genre etc. Got some more Top 11 riffs coming soon 😎
No Sabbath Into the Void? This list is a joke without that riff.
Great work ! what a tone
Thank you so much dude!! 🤘😎
Great choices!
Always feels like a weird Stoner liste without the Wizard. :^)
Part 2 coming soon! 🤘
Not putting funeralopolis here is a sin
Fr tho
Dudes, there's a Part 2 🤟
Great list ❤
Nasty tone, dude. Sounds amazing.
Sleep and The Sword, liked and subbed!
Orchid? Earthless?! I've not heard those names in a good while!
Friendly reminder 😎🤟🤜🤛
I miss old Sword :(
They are pretty cool love though 😎
Awesome!
Good Stoner Doom Riff selection.
Freya by The Sword is one of my favs.
Greetings from México.
Hi, do you play all these riffs with the same tuning? Which one is it?
Sounds like they're mostly standard tuning except maybe drop-D on Karma to Burn?
Hello, good question. I use a digitech drop pedal for convinience since I can't really change tuning on my SG. The tunings are the songs' original. I am planning to wire my Hagstrom Les Paul again and have it for the heavier stuff 😎🤟
Oh hey! I already responded and then saw your message. 😃 Yes! Karma to burn is drop D. Orchid I played in Drop C but I think it's play in standard originally 🤔
Let me know how it sounds to you anyway if you please. I know it's not the same as having your guitar tuned down with a specific gauge but it makes it possible for me to create more content. :)
@@RiffLair sounds great very inspiring
Gardenia is one of the fattest riffs off all time imo 👍
Yeah dude! 😎🤟
The fact that if you told me these songs were all Black Sabbath songs, and I had not known them prior, I would believe you, really speaks volumes about the fine lads from Birmingham.
Saw the video title and though, “Freya and Dragonaut better be in here.” Nailed it 🤘
