You don't even need to get his actual signature picks. just try a flow in the size you prefer.

    Blackened is a stellar riff exercise. Seek & Destroy and No Remorse are what made me love Kill 'Em All.
    Chimaira's cover of Disposable Heroes is my absolute favorite straightforward Metallica cover. (Apocalyptica's cello cover of One, Rodrigo y Gabriela's nylon string cover of Orion, and Art vs Science's loungejazz cover of Enter Sandman are all pretty rad variation covers, though.)

    I was only 3 when the black album came out, but it still saturated the airwaves along with load and reload when I was growing up. I bought the black album tab book when I first started playing guitar, and they were the first songs I tried learning. Wish I would have discovered pre black album Metallica sooner, but being being a teenager in the early 2000s with uranium and headbangers ball exposed me to a plethora of bands like yours and I didn’t gain appreciation to the earlier albums until an adult.

  • @robmandel3413
    @robmandel3413 Рік тому

    I was a freshman in high school when kill ‘em all came out. Changed my life forever. Spent forever (trying to play😂😂😂) playing those riffs. Whiplash, seek and destroy, no remorse, jus the whole album, an endless onslaught of riffage. Still to me the best metal album ever. Pure agression and energy. Next up I’d say the #1 pure Metallica riff is disposable heroes. That gallop riff and descending chromatic chords…just pure intensity that helpless canon fodder feeling. And that intro riff to fight fire (The fast chug, not the melodic part) then the interlude riff.
    I saw Metallica with cliff twice. What an amazing musician he was.

I think that’s the thing about Metallica’s massive appeal, is that their riffs and songs are not out of reach. And that great riffs and songs don’t require Olympic level gymnastics on guitar. And James gave status to rhythm players. That was cool.

    My first Metallica album was the black album it was my gateway to metal like many others. I worked my way back in their catalog and then I saw the video on MTv for Symphony of Destruction and I had found my band ! I still loved Metallica but I was introduced to Metallica through friends and Megadeth I felt like I had stumbled upon or discovered something I could turn my friends on to. Most of them didn’t get it lol , I was the “Megadeth” guy. I really liked the technicality of And Justice for All but not the long songs and I think that might be why I enjoyed Megadeth so much.
    The Black Album for a whole generation of metal heads is the most important album of all time and I don’t care that the songs are slower it’s still one of Metallica’s best.

    Overall, great list. Only one I’d add off the top of my head is Blackened (main riff).
    Seeing that all these riffs are on the first 5 albums, I’d love to see a follow up video on your thoughts on Load and beyond. Whether it’s top riffs or general thoughts.

    I heard somewhere years ago that the main riff to Sad But True, had a baritone, an octave below, cleverly blended in.
    Not quite sure how true it is.
    Wherever I may Roam is one of my favourites.
    Such a spaced out vibe about it.
    Reverbs and room sound back then, was something special.

    The first Metallica song that I learned to play was Seek and destory. Just me about 6 to 8 weeks to learn. I was having lessons from a school friend of mine Darren Elliot. I was 15 going on 16. Let me just tell you that my friend Darren by the time he was 17 he could play the first three Metallica in full. And he even know Kirk's guitar solo's. I would say that he was that good, he could of took Kirk's place. I did go on to learn more Metallica songs after that. I found it a little hard at first, but once I got the hang ot it. It did start to get easier. Most of the tunings was in E. I did cheat by buying a guitar magazine to learn enter sandman and unforgiven. Thank you Rob for showing me some of your favorite Metallica riff's. Love your long sleeve Ride the lightning Shirt. I was going to buy that myself last year, but I brought the long sleeve Garage days $5.98 instead. And my reason for that is. Becauae that was my first Metallica vinyl.

    -Search and destroy
    -Disposable heroes (this song doesn’t get enough praise)
    -Sanitarium
    -Masters of puppets
    -Fade to black
    -Call of Ktulu
    -Four horsemen
    -Jump in the fire
    Hey Rob. So sorry I couldn’t make the chimaira reunion show(s). If/when you guys ever play out and it’s closer to me i will definitely make it out. At that time financially it was not feasible for me to attend… as much as I wanted to enjoy witnessing a reunion of such “magnitude”. I hope you understand.

    You know what I really love about this video? We're about the same age and hearing you talk about how you got into Metallica is really taking me back. I remember my first exposure to them on Justice but being too young to really grasp such heavy fast music or understand a 10minute song with no lyrics. My earliest memory heavy of music was Van Halen and Led Zeppelin. The Black Album was the one that really got me into Metallica and then exploring their catalogue was an incredible Journey. Being in a garage band jamming on the drums with my friends, For Whom the Bell tolls was on our list! One of the reasons Chimaira was such an influence on me is because I can hear all of my favorite music in your music. This is a fantastic video again my friend!

    Hey dude, I'm sure you're aware of that but since you don't mention it in this video... "Am I evil ?" is NOT a Metallica song, but a cover by Metallica of a Diamond Head classic which actually provided the template to a lot of early Metallica stuff. To their credit, they never denied Diamond Head's huge influence on Metallica's heaviest material.

    • @RobArnoldWorld
      @RobArnoldWorld  Рік тому +1

      Yep! But I've got a thing about covers where whatever version I hear first, is what I like. Couple examples... Zero The Hero from Cannibal Corpse (Black Sabbath), and The Hunt from Sepultura (New Model Army.. I think)...
      Anyway... I heard those first, and I love them! Had I listened to the originals first, I probably wouldn't have gotten into them. I'm sure everyone can relate in one way or another. 🤘

    One thing that's cool about Metallica is that their riffs are often quite simple but still so incredibly melodic. Even though there are so many talented bands out there today I kind of miss that type of writing/music. Anyhow, one of the first riffs I learned when I was a kid was Wherever I may roam, figured it out on a cheap acoustic guitar and felt like a king!
    Also never forget the drums, even those were melodic and creative, just listen to the intro in Justice for all, still so epic.
