    Thanks so much for the positive feedback guys, really happy with how this came out and had a lot of fun doing it! It’s all about sharing cool riffs so I’ll keep em coming! All styles!

      Splendid idea bro! Love that you are making the full track yourself instead of just jamming the riffs on guitar only. Makes it so much more appealing and interesting!

      @hyperbolekid 2 роки тому +1

      Great content idea! When I play my Rabea Carthus through the JHS Bonsai and Buffalo Germ Fuzz or Boss FZ2 into my Friedman BE50 Deluxe I start making those disgusted faces. Get around copyright strikes by recreating tracks, very smart!

  • @squishy949
    @squishy949 2 роки тому +75

    Honestly one of the top of my list is Toska's Congress, that opening after the ambient style build up just hits so good.

    • @therewasascene
      @therewasascene 2 роки тому +2

      Yeeeep. M A N Y of his riffs make me make the face.

    • @isteve520
      @isteve520 2 роки тому +4

      That’s the thing with Toska - masters of ambient quiet to sudden gnarly filth. Top track that still makes me grimace with joy is the transition from light to heavy parts on Illumo. Makes snot uncontrollably drip from my nostrils when I play along with this, even today. I kid you not. Can’t imagine what my face is doing when this occurs. Enough said.

    • @therewasascene
      @therewasascene 2 роки тому

      @@isteve520 that’s one of my favorites :) Probably top three with Abomasum and Congress. Hard to pick though.

  • @riccardominuto
    @riccardominuto 2 роки тому +5

    1- Chalk Teeth
    2- Chasm, the 'breakdown' right before the end of the song
    3- Riffs Under The Bonsai Tree
    4- the riff for Djent 2020
    5- the breakdown from Black Friday
    Hope to be able to play every single one of these one day. You're my favourite guitarist Bea, and your music is so much inspiring. Cheers mate!

    Perfect number one choice! One of the best riffs ever written by one of the best bands of all time. Pantera 4 life.

  • @TheComedyGuitarGuy
    @TheComedyGuitarGuy 2 роки тому +14

    The first time I heard ‘New Level’ by Pantera, I pulled such a strong grimace that it hurt my face. 1994, Ozfest.
    I was in a Pantera tribute band for 7 years ❤️

    • @tableslam
      @tableslam 2 роки тому

      Yes!! And the way they go full palm muted, then half-muted, then open strumming with the riff is such simple way to make it more dynamic, but so so sick

  • @Stubz_Perez
    @Stubz_Perez 2 роки тому +12

    1. I'm just gonna say the band Power Trip because they have so many nasty riffs
    2. Sleep - Dopesmoker
    3. Mars Red Sky - The Collector
    4. Tool - Invincible (after the bass solo)
    5. Omerta - Lamb of God

    Wes Borland is such an AMAZING guitarist, I've always lived his style both musically and aesthetically. It was so cool growing up with so many legendary bands, but Wes's playing always stood out in terms of just sheer attitude and heavy groove🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

  • @thatjacksondude858
    @thatjacksondude858 2 роки тому +5

    One of my favorites is a pretty underrated one. "Lucifer's Rocking Chair" by Cancer Bats is such a simple, but filthy riff. I can't help but make the stank face ever time I play it.

  • @NathanArhur
    @NathanArhur 2 роки тому +9

    My top 5:
    5: Animals As Leaders - The Woven Web @ 1:37
    4: David Maxim Micic - Bill part III @ 2:14
    3: Car Bomb - Fade Out @ 0:06
    2: Periphery - Blood Eagle @ intro riff
    1: Literally anything Vildjharta. My face hurts after listening to Vildjharta.

    Who didn't join in, making their own grimace? You can't help it if you're getting into it. - Chances are you'd air-guitar along with it. Maybe even mimed with your own guitar. Perhaps even played along. - Great stuff, Rabea! Loads o' fun too!

  • @therewasascene
    @therewasascene 2 роки тому

    Tigercub has some killer basslines/tones. Props to your buddy!
    Tom Morello was an inspiration for me to pick up the electric - a treasure trove of bangin’ riffzzz. I don’t know how many times one of his will just pop into my head and I’ve got to go listen to whatever album it’s on ASAP. Revolver and The Wind Below were the two last ones - my daughter just started playing and she did the chicka chick - my son was like “I don’t think you’re supposed to do that” and I said oh no. That’s. A thing. Played The Wind Below. :)

  • @rednettle
    @rednettle 2 роки тому

    Mate you did well whittling this down to 5 - I ended up doing a riff a day similar to this during one of the UK lockdowns to try and share some beefy riffs with people that might not have heard of some of them. Killer job on these, they sound monster!
    Top 5 for me currently
    Chevelle - Humanoid
    March of the yeti - earth tone 9 (end riff)
    Helmet - In the meantime
    Sevendust - Against the world
    Light of the Morning - Cut and stained
    Looking forward to the series - hope you revisit this one again with another 5 or so - always down for hearing some stank face riffs

    super cool concept for a video series!
    There were some curve ball but ultimately unsurprising riffs in there, but the Meshuggah riff was in my head as soon as i read the title of the video. what a stonking riff!
    between that and when I discovered Spirit box on your channel, Holy Roller and Demiurge have been my go to gurn riffs of last year.

    When you broke into the b riff from I'm Broken i was just pulling filth face and headbanging in my loungeroom while my Mrs is watching TV thinking WTF is up with this idiot. One of the best riffs ever written. Absolutely filthy. BTW your mix made it even more filthy, with the much better tone and fuller sound overall.

  • @ihazhedont
    @ihazhedont 2 роки тому +13

    Which song not to pick from Meshuggah ?
    Pineal gland optics chorus ? End riff of Dancers to a discordant system ? End riff of Swarm ? Behind the Sun ?
    These guys build riffs like you build a freaking bulldozer.

    If I'd to pick these, I probably couldn't decide...
    However, what made me do the faces really bad recently was listening to Vildhjartas new album; it has just so many great and absolutely disgusting riffs, so I can only recommend checking it out!

  • @ingreynelg
    @ingreynelg 2 роки тому

    All these are great but really dig the Limp Bizkit one, steps out of the box by not being the classic “double whatever the guitar is doing with a bass”. That riff shines on it’s one.

  • @Cindarr1

  • @Qartoffeln1

    @leolapulga6784 2 роки тому

    I really hope there will be a part 2 with the same topic/title! Your very own "In the Face of the Nameless" (especially from 1:51) and the "Does It Djent" video are some of the most satisfyingly disgusting things I've heard in my life! So don't be shy, add your own stuff! ;)
    Otherwise, songs that come to mind for part 2 would be "Blood on the Scribe", "Toxic Garbage Island" and the intros to "Stranded" and "March of the Fire Ants"!

    My favorites:
    Sleepwalker - Tigercub
    Second Death - Stray From The Path
    Still Alive - The Ghost Inside
    The Lines - Beartooth (not super duper heavy but one of my introductions to heavier music and it floored me)
    Freak on A Leash - Korn

    This episode was great! A very different Top 5 than what my Top 5 would look like (probably more Doom and Stoner, with some Monolord or Weedeater in there) but super cool video idea and video series!
    If I may, I might have a suggestion, what about "Riffs that put you in hyperspace mode", which would be the supper trippy highly psychedelic you-see-the-stars-mooving kind of riff? For instance, Acid King or 13th Floor Elevators :D

  • @alfiesolomon3531
    @alfiesolomon3531 2 роки тому

    My 5 filthy riffs off the cuff (no particular order):
    1 - Gardenia from Kyuss
    2 - That short riff from Type O Negative - Black No. 1
    3 - Any riff from Bleed of Meshuggah ( or any Meshuggah song really)
    4 - Vildhjarta - Regnar Bensin ( riff after the breakdown half way through the track
    5 - That 2nd riff from Rabea in the Riff Wars

  • @iamthejshep
    @iamthejshep 2 роки тому

    in no particular order, here are mine
    Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
    Aggressive Evolution - Loathe
    The Offering - Sleep Token (final breakdown)
    Holy Roller - Spiritbox
    Cops - Needtobreathe (not a heavy band at all but its stanky, blues rocky, and one of the best bass tones ive ever heard in my life)

  • @Adrian94260
    @Adrian94260 2 роки тому

    This top 5 is really relatable ! Espacially the Meshuggah riff, everyone agrees on this one it seems, and it was kind of frustrating when you stopping playing it to be honest !
    So, if you guys wanna here some of my favorites (i have no idea how you can pick only 5) :
    Amenra - .Aorte. Nous sommes du meme sang. (the ending riff, so emotionally charged too)
    Code Orange - Forever (that intro, damn)
    Cult of Luna - Finland (the ending)
    Deftones - My Own Summer
    Kylesa - Scapegoat
    Limp Bizkit - Nookie
    Meshuggah - Dancers to a Discordant System
    Opeth - Blackwater Park
    RATM - Bulls on Parade
    Russian Circles - Youngblood
    Snarky Puppy - Outlier
    Soulwax - Is It Always Binary
    The Dillinger Escape Plan - Good Neighbor
    The Monks - I Hate You
    The Psychotic Monks - It's Gone
    Thundercat - Them Changes
    Unsane - No Chance
    Vulfpeck - It Gets Funkier

    Always nice to see Wes Borland get a nod in this kind of list. :)
