@Foxshirakami The Down Picker is James Hetfield as well. It wasn't until he got older and started to lose some of his chops that he started to up pick.
This shit is why thrash has always been my favorite flavor of metal. Chunking grooves that keep your head rocking, from a bob to a bang and back. This video just reminded me why I love The Big Four still after all these years, too.
Same here, Thrash Metal is the ultimate genre of metal imo. One of the best things about Thrash is how diverse it is, there are several subgenres of Thrash which means basically an endless supply of old school and modern thrash bands to discover. Not sure if you're into the modern Thrash bands, but there's some incredible newer bands out there that most people don't even know about. One of which is the band in my profile pic, the French Progressive Thrash Metal band called Arcania. Arcania has 2 albums called "Dreams Are Dead" and "Sweet Angel Dust", both albums are bangers from start to finish, technical, melodic, and progressive.
Love your Harley, man. I got my EX-76 about two years ago, best decision I ever made. I swapped out the pickups to Seymour Duncan Dimebag signature pickups and put a Kahler trem on it. Sounds absolutely heavenly.
Nice! You just made a badass recording with a couple Harley Bentons. This should be an eye opener for people suffering from brand worship. Nice job man! 🤘
I never comment on videos(well not a lot anyways) but I've been working all night and the thrash has inspired me to give you cheers and say hell yeah bro!!!!!!!
Enjoyed it. Since it's all you I can't pick a style. They all sound good but has your touch to it etc. It was all like a lesson in technical thrash. Very nice.
Speed Demon - Kreator The Whammy King - Slayer Galoper - Overkill Down Picker - Testament Harmonizer - Megadeth Slow & Spooky - SLayer The Wah Reaper - Metallica No Mids, All gain - Testament The Law Maker - Anthrax Megaman - Megadeth
MAN!! This is freakin' awesomely amazing and cool!! I wanna try to do a cover of it but some of it I probably can't play... cuz I'm getting old (we'll just say), ok? haha

Thanks for watching everybody, which style was your favourite?
Harmonies make everything better
Easily the Galloper!
Speed Demon🤘🏻
The Galloper je sve🤭🤘
The Speed Demon and Megaman are really cool ! Frist and last for me, great video Pete 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
You forgot the " occasional acoustic for the feels"...
Haha yeah! *Fight Fire With Fire intensifies*
Going through the acoustic phase right now
I love that so much...
Battery!
It was in Sodom's Tired and Red
No mids, all gain, SLAYER!
Haha! I may or may not have borrowed that phrase from you for this video :)
What's funny is, Slayer doesn't use as much gain as people think they do. Also, they use tons of mids. Slayer's probably my favorite metal tone.
we were there. I would have never used the tone knob in my guitars if not for you
@@jaceydurland9098 Something slightly less related is they use a very tight noise gate.
as a thrash metal addict, I APPROVE!
Thanks! :)
Fellow thrashers unite
@@peteplaysmusic Please make video about Groove-metal !
Please make one about the Nu-Metal/Post-Grunge phase we all once had
The Down Picker + the galloper + all gain = the most headbang inducing riffs of all time.
The Down Picker is how Metalcore being popular lol
Anyone got names of the songs for the said riffs
@@jessecarpenter6434he broke the riffs but I heard master of puppets and the last was Holy Wars
@Foxshirakami The Down Picker is James Hetfield as well. It wasn't until he got older and started to lose some of his chops that he started to up pick.
Those first two examples are basically just Slayer in a nutshell and I loved it, great vid man
Haha yeah, The Whammy King is a nod to Kerry and Jeff :)
Galloper and slow & spooky sound kinda Slayer - ish too
Almost the entire vid is Slayer.
Ol’ kerry loves his whammy bar
You're absolutely correct. I gotta say, I ain't mad at it.
The Whammy King + Slow & Spooky = all you need is Slayer
Close but you need that speed king riff in there!!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS and a kerry king style solo which sounds like shit and you even fcked it up on tape.
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS I feel speed king sounds more like modern Sylosis riffs
Can’t forget the galloper
and the speed demon

Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarten?
@@Internetuser435 LOL! wrong big 4 but I loved those too.
@@davedixon2167 Lol, alright
And that's cool
My two favorite styles were the "slow and spooky" and the "no mids, all gain". Great video, dude!
Thanks! :)
Slayer fan then?
Same
Your intro picking on, “The Wah Ripper” reminds me of the song the band played during the big fight scene in the Crow at the loft. 🦅
Spot on. I could identify the bands you were emulating for the most part 🤘🏻
You make it look effortless. My wrist was fatigued just watching 😆
Haha thanks! Gotta love those all down picked riffs :)
@@peteplaysmusic you're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to reply. 🤘🏻
1:25 literally A7X in a nutshell (even though they don’t do Thrash) also the lick sounds like Burn It Down lol. Nice video Pete, keep it up ❤
Not quite literally
Love your Harley, man. I got my EX-76 about two years ago, best decision I ever made. I swapped out the pickups to Seymour Duncan Dimebag signature pickups and put a Kahler trem on it. Sounds absolutely heavenly.
the transition between "definitely not metallica" and "the down picker" was pretty sick
And this is why thrash sounds so good
Real nice... Very Metallica inspired, with some touches of Megadeth towards the end. Good inspirations for thrashers!
Thanks! :)
More Slayer inspiration in there than Metallica and Megadeth.
@@pixelbasedlifeforms agreed
@@pixelbasedlifeforms Because Slayer is the thrash
and havok
That open string rythm on Megaman is very nice! Great vid, long live thrash metal
Thanks! :)
As a fan of thrash and a thrash guitarist in my youth, well, that was really enjoyable. Thanks.
I love it. You're an inspiration to pick up the guitar. The editing between the clips are an art too
Thanks! :)
I too think thrash metal is very cool and very close to my heart
Rules all other “genres”. And the fashion is pretty easy.
Nice! You just made a badass recording with a couple Harley Bentons. This should be an eye opener for people suffering from brand worship. Nice job man! 🤘
The whammy KING... I see what you did there and I'm all for it!
Buddy that picking hand is on point. Great stuff
this is basically all fire, love it
Thanks! :)
I never comment on videos(well not a lot anyways) but I've been working all night and the thrash has inspired me to give you cheers and say hell yeah bro!!!!!!!
Haha thanks, I appreciate it! :)
aka: evile, pantera, iced earth, metallica, metallica again, maiden?, slayer, metallica yet again, heathen, testament, megadeth.
great job emulating the styles as always!
I was wonder where my style would show up until the the down picker played. Well done!
Thanks! :)
The down picker has a real distinctive sound and feel
delicious skill brada
The galloper got my vote. I’m still trying to figure it out and you nailed it man
The Wah Ripper - nice double nod to Kirk!
all the above please lol ...and justice for all still remains as my fave thrash album 💪
I would see this band live every time.
Like all! It's like a journey back in time when i started making Metal!
...and "Decade of Aggression" came out... 🤘
greetz from germany
Joe
Thanks for watching! :)
This inspired me to go back and listen to Sylosis' discography all the way again
Excellent study and compilation.
Tight right hand bro!
Thanks! I've been working on that a bit lately, always good to brush up on old school Thrash riffs for down picking/rhythm practice :)
Finally, the best Metal Genre! Thx Pete!!!
"definitely not metallica" ahhh so it must be ...........
MELATTICA!!!
Sick Dude!! Very nice Styles! I love the Galloper! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Enjoyed it. Since it's all you I can't pick a style. They all sound good but has your touch to it etc. It was all like a lesson in technical thrash. Very nice.
Really nice playing & seeing you bring it a Harley Benton made it all the better!!! Great tone!!!!
That was awesome man “definitely not Metallica “ gave me a giggle 😂
Man some of these sound so gooood so crisp i wish he made them into full songs
You just can't get enough of that Harley Benton Explorer, well me neither😅
galloping is just pure energy, love that NWOBHM vibe and the speediness
I enjoyed all of that. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to watch again because those riffs fuckin' killed.
Thanks! :)
This is something that I didn't expect today. Incredible. All of them are great
Very nice dude loved it 👌
Thanks! :)
i feel so recognised in this video! :D
0:56 Slayer also used that riff in “Behind the crooked cross” and White Zombie in “Cosmic Monsters Inc.”
Your picking is absolute beast
SICK my dude! Killer tone and killer chops!
Thoroughly enjoyed them all!
Thanks! :)
holy shit such a banger! adding this to my "racing" playlist 🤘🏻
The low and spooky is so Slayaaaaaaa 🤘🏽
Now this is my cup of tea...
Thank you, Pete!
Awesome video idea! My fav was the Galloper or Slow and Spooky Slayer breakdown.
What it takes to make a thrash metal song. You nailed it, bro.
Man, you just "destroyed" that guitar!! Super nicely done.
That gallop riff crushes, cant not love a tight gallop thrash riff
That was awesome bro😤
Brutal stuff, love it
Slow & spooky: definitely not Slayer 😂 great job really liked this video!
Thanks :)
Awesome video as always Pete!!!
Speed Demon - Kreator
The Whammy King - Slayer
Galoper - Overkill
Down Picker - Testament
Harmonizer - Megadeth
Slow & Spooky - SLayer
The Wah Reaper - Metallica
No Mids, All gain - Testament
The Law Maker - Anthrax
Megaman - Megadeth
Immensely tight riffing, brother.
Wah ripper and all gain are my favs👌
Best reason to buy a harley benton I ever saw
This is every reason why I love Thrash 🤘🏻
man. you're amazing!
Excellent,all my kind of guitar playing
Awesome riffs!!!! ALL OF THEM! Well done! =)
can confirm I have played all of those styles at some point! and they were all good times!
Awesome video and riffs as always...
I’ve been practicing the Harmonizing for my own music lately but it’s funny you added that in.
Wonderful retrospective on Megatallica and Metadeth. 😁😁😁😁
0:23 Kerry Kong solo be like
Dude, that was killer! I’m a galloper at heart. Thank you AJFA!!
This is the first thing I listened to this morning 🤣🤣🤣🤌🤌🤌🃏🌭 Made my fkn day
🤘😈🤘
This is incredible.
I love how all these riffs are melting in creating one song.
BROOOO THE MATSER OF PUPPETS AND HOLY WARS BROKEN RIFFS FUCKS MY MIND UP
MAN!! This is freakin' awesomely amazing and cool!!
I wanna try to do a cover of it but some of it I probably can't play...
cuz I'm getting old (we'll just say), ok? haha
Man, how'd you make the Galloper sound so good!? What song is that?
It's just based on Slayer Raining Blood. Very good for practicing rhythm :)
That's just raining blood? Ah, now that you say that, I feel dumb for not hearing it before lol
Awesome mate!
The galloper and harmonizer are my jam
Absolutely bob on! Nicely done sir
If I had to pick one section that is most "Thrash" to me, it's "No Mids All Gain" Exodus style!!
rocking them harley bentons!
2:04 INTO THE PIT!
Yeah, that’ll start a mosh pit, head-banging and horns throwing. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Megaman aka Hangar 18 lol that was sick dude
Love the harmonics
2:05 ---- INTO THE PIT!!!!!!!
Love all of it!
For sure Speed Demon + Down Picker
So fucking awesome
I felt a lot of this! Pretty good video!
that no mids all gain sound is my dream sound
The Whammy King - I see what you did there
the galloper really blowed my mind up
