My list of top ten heaviest riffs is something along these lines 1.Sad but True 2. The God That Failed 3. For Whom the Bell Tolls 4. All Nightmare Long 5. The Thing That Should Not Be 6. Leper Messiah 7.Just a Bullet Away 8. Eye of the Beholder 9. Holier Than Thou 10. To Live is to Die Now my list of FAVORITE riffs is more like this 1. Disposable Heroes 2. Phantom Lord 3. Broken Beat and Scarred 4. Master of Puppets 5. Blackened 6. Ride the Lightning 7. Creeping Death 8. Orion 9. The Judas Kiss (chorus riff) 10. Sweet Amber And just because I'm having fun, here's my list for top ten grooviest/catchiest riffs 1. Escape 2. Disposable Heroes 3. Seek and Destroy 4. Ride the Lightning 5. Ronnie 6. The Four Horsemen 7. The End of the Line 8. King Nothing 9. Harvester of Sorrow 10. Hate Train (chorus) And now I'm late for work
@@masteroffire5793 But in terms of heaviness alone, compare it to anything from periphery III, or any gojira song and they dont come close to matching heaviness
There's a whole lotta metal out there but Sad But True still remains my #1 favorite heavy riff of all time - from ANYONE - and it doesn't even make it into this guy's top 10 from Metallica???
Jaime Andrés Bolaños Yeah, Motorbreath is really fucking good aswell, Hands down my favorite song off Kill Em All. The Struggle Within is weird for me, because a Lot of people say that it's awesome but I never really feel it, you know? I mean I've gaven it a lot of chances. Either way, The God That Failed for me is the most Underrated song off that Album.
***** Jarrod- that fucking ripped, man. Perfect. I've been playing guitar for about 2 years now but have zero experience in the metal territory (bad at palm muting, tremolo picking, etc). What Metallica song would you recommend me starting out with, playing it slow and building up?
+Tom Mules The fast picked thingy riff at the end of each turn, could have been a little little bit better. But other than that flawless on every other Metallica riff you portrayed. ;)
If you are talking HEAVYNESS I think that ur list would have been 1. Sad but true 2. Of wolf and man 3. The thing that should not be 4. Damage inc 5. My world 6. Ride the lightning 7. Broken beat and scared 8. All nightmare long 9. St.anger 10. Leper messiah This is kinda like "metallica best riffs" which is the video you made
AlphaSite115 I agree on most, but I would replace RTL with For Whom The Bell Tolls. The chuggy riff before Kirk's melody is one of the heaviest riffs not just by Metallica, but simply ever. The riff is so heavy that Black Sabbath wouldn't be ashamed to use it.
I don't play music, but I came across this video 6 or 7 months ago when questioning if I should try playing the guitar (immediately after my first Metallica concert). As I'm watching Metallica's live concert on UA-cam right now, I paused to pull up this video again, solely because I remember how hard this dude rips it. Keep it up!
***** Well Blackened was in there if you watched it.. And yes there are other Metallica riffs that could have been included, but this it my top TEN. Can't please everyone. The Thing That Should Not be couldn't be included because its in a different tuning and wouldn't fit the medley.
I don´t think that these are the heaviest, but you made an awesome video, really enjoyed it, and I can see a good effort in putting all these 10 awesome riff together in a way they match with each other. take my like bro :)
Jarrod, I've just started playing guitar about 2 months ago, and your videos really inspire me to keep playing and become as good as you when I grow up! Thanks a lot man!
My Top 10 : -The thing that should not be -Damage Inc. -The call of ktulu -Fight fire with fire -Battery -Blackened -Master of puppets -All nightmare long -Orion -One
I started guitar at the same age as you because I am 14 and your video said you had been playing for 4 years already. I go t my guitar at ten but I didn't find my inspiration with it yet because since I took lesson s, it felt more like homework but now I'm at 14, found inspiration earlier this year and now I live for music and guitar. I hope to follow in your path and see where it gets me.
A top 10 list is always subject to critique, but there is no arguing your technique or tone... I'm talking every note with equal clarity & heaviness. Great Job, I enjoyed watching.
You've got those riffs perfected! Even the speaker's settings or whatever you do to change the tone of all the chords is on point. I was convinced that was Kirk Hammett in disguise for a minute
I've been reading some of the comments, just remember guys everyone has their own preferences. I thought his choices were great, sure there could be others that could be in there. Very well done!!
most of these are far from the heaviest. i'd say frayed ends of sanity (bridge riff), the thing that should not be, sad but true, dyers eve, the house jack built (hate on load whatever you people want, i think it's still an amazing album xD) and some other songs are some of their heaviest. anyway it still was a really nice cover dude!
0:00 - Orion 0:20 - Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 0:40 - That Was Just Your Life 1:06 - Battery 1:24 - Blackened 1:42 - Creeping Death 1:59 - Master of Puppets 2:40 - One 3:01 - Ride the Lightning 3:54 - Seek and Destroy
Heaviest riffs? Disposable Heroes Battery The Thing That Should Not Be Sad But True Don't Tread On Me One (machine gun riff) Frayed Ends Of Sanity Some Kind Of Monster Creeping Death (bridge) Fight Fire With Fire
he might think it's too thrashy while battery and blackened might be more heavy than thrashy and the thing that should not be, sad but true, and harvester of sorrow are more doomy than heavy.
My Favourite Heavy songs: -All Nightmare Long -St.Anger -Welcome Home -Spit out the Bone -Blackened -Creeping Death -The God that failed -No leaf clover -Fade to Black -Sad but True -Hardwired -Dyers eve -Seek and Destroy -Orion -
My list of top ten heaviest riffs is something along these lines
1.Sad but True
2. The God That Failed
3. For Whom the Bell Tolls
4. All Nightmare Long
5. The Thing That Should Not Be
6. Leper Messiah
7.Just a Bullet Away

3. Broken Beat and Scarred
4. Master of Puppets
5. Blackened
6. Ride the Lightning
7. Creeping Death
8. Orion
9. The Judas Kiss (chorus riff)
10. Sweet Amber
And just because I'm having fun, here's my list for top ten grooviest/catchiest riffs
1. Escape
2. Disposable Heroes
3. Seek and Destroy
4. Ride the Lightning
5. Ronnie
6. The Four Horsemen
7. The End of the Line
8. King Nothing
9. Harvester of Sorrow
10. Hate Train (chorus)
And now I'm late for work
This man deserves more likes, he even went late to work, goddamit.
I agree with all your tops :)
+João Sérgio yea there's so many and I could only fit 10 in a list
+João Sérgio well frayed ends is pretty groovy too. I'd probably put fight fire and dyers Eve in a "Top 10 Fastest" list
cual es top al fin y al cabo
I didn't know Ryan renolds could play guitar
Who? I thought he looked like moose milk
Looks almost like jacob from twilight
haha
If you look closely he looks like a young James ;)
Nicholas Long I was just thinking the same thing.
Metallica makes riffs heavier than most modern metal bands and 90% of them are in E standard.
Mkay. Dunno about that.
@@zeusolympus1664 Master, bells, sandman, leper messiah, and many others would like to have a word with you
@@masteroffire5793 But in terms of heaviness alone, compare it to anything from periphery III, or any gojira song and they dont come close to matching heaviness
@@dannyburke1098 son heavy isn’t just how deep it is, thickness and tone play a larger role than the tuning
@Nemesis 86 personally I think the drumming is holding back metallica in the heaviness column
you can't have a Metallica top 10 Heaviest riffs without Sad But True
There's a whole lotta metal out there but Sad But True still remains my #1 favorite heavy riff of all time - from ANYONE - and it doesn't even make it into this guy's top 10 from Metallica???
He wanted a one take and SBT is in D Standard
sad bu true is not in top 10 heaviest riffs
@@sergeyevichseid9178 Yes it is
@@officialrockdrive it's not, for me fight fire with fire and damage inc are heavier
Who knew Ryan Reynolds was such a monster on guitar!
Dammit I thought that I thought of that first!
I thought the exact same thing
DAMAGE INC., FIGHT FIRE AND DYERS EVE ARE MISSING.
Fight Fire with Fire is so underrated....
+Bengie Macfarlane “Sawyer” yes dude... and metal militia, jump in the fire, and the struggle within (solo part)
Jaime Andrés Bolaños Yeah, Motorbreath is really fucking good aswell, Hands down my favorite song off Kill Em All.
The Struggle Within is weird for me, because a Lot of people say that it's awesome but I never really feel it, you know? I mean I've gaven it a lot of chances. Either way, The God That Failed for me is the most Underrated song off that Album.
ya las ponen en otros top de metalcore tranquilo posero jajaja
+Bengie “Sawyer” Macfarlane Motorbread esa cancion punk y Harcore punk me gusta pero no tan buena por tener puto punk posero
You are setting a benchmark. Perfect quality of video, recording, playing
Thank you
***** Jarrod- that fucking ripped, man. Perfect.
I've been playing guitar for about 2 years now but have zero experience in the metal territory (bad at palm muting, tremolo picking, etc). What Metallica song would you recommend me starting out with, playing it slow and building up?
David Reme Im not Jarrod , however i reccomend you master of puppets and fade to black
David Reme u should try for whom the bell tolls,it's the easiest one,or either ONE
David Reme Seek And Destroy, Enter Sandman, Am I Evil.
How were The Thing That Should Not Be and Harvester of Sorrow not there, but Seek and Destroy was?
Mr. Platinum seek n destroy is like their main song dude heavy doesnt not necessarily mean bass.
Thing That Should Not BE is the definition of heavy for Metallica. That and Sad But True etc
@@Youboob99 people have different opinions on what is heavy, I personally think The thing that shouls not be is the absolute heaviest!
fr. but the ending riff of seek and destroy the one he SHOULD have used is one if their heaviest
It’s sad but true man
Almost nobody has mentioned “The god that failed” That riff’s too heavy!🤘🏼
That’s what I was thinking
HEAVIEST means The thing that should not be and Harvester of sorrow. Dude, you left them, it's a shame!
Heeeeeeeelllllllllll no Sad But True mate
sad but true and the thing that should not be are tied
Ya, I was expecting to hear harvester of sorrow on here
Sad but true is literally played in a heavier tuning as well lol
@@World29283 The Thing That Should Not Be is in D Standard
Is it just me or do all these riffs sound good together?
+Heavy Metal Warrior That's because almost every Metallica song is on a E tune. In this video only Seek and Destroy is on a A tune.
+Elier Lizárraga seek and destroy is also in E
My bad, you're right.
It's because they're all in the same key mostly
Very good selection of riffs man, especially Blackened. You played very well fam \m/
+Tom Mules Thank you!
+Tom Mules The fast picked thingy riff at the end of each turn, could have been a little little bit better. But other than that flawless on every other Metallica riff you portrayed. ;)
2:21 - when he gets all the chicks.
Lmao!
Laughing my head off at that dude😂😂
Hahaha
Maybe a dude or two. Definitely not me.
that part of master of puppets is actually not that hard its more later in the song
for me the heaviest metallica riff is from the thing that should not be
saame
As Jason said, "Fuckin' heaviest number known to mankind."
@@aragusea yeah
My version of this list:
All riffs from Justice, and fight fire with fire. There we go.
That Was Just Your Life is CRIMINALLY underrated
Awesome playing bro, like always! glad to see you back!
Edgar Thanks my man!
Fight Fire with Fire and Sad But True are the heaviest Metallica songs ever in my opinion.
If you are talking HEAVYNESS
I think that ur list would have been
1. Sad but true
2. Of wolf and man
3. The thing that should not be
4. Damage inc
5. My world
6. Ride the lightning
7. Broken beat and scared
8. All nightmare long
9. St.anger
10. Leper messiah
This is kinda like "metallica best riffs" which is the video you made
AlphaSite115 You can make your own video with your own list if you want
Yeah I can dig that list I love of wolf and man I play that daily
True
AlphaSite115 Oh yeah! Sad But True should have been at least #6...
Or Damage Inc.
AlphaSite115 I agree on most, but I would replace RTL with For Whom The Bell Tolls. The chuggy riff before Kirk's melody is one of the heaviest riffs not just by Metallica, but simply ever. The riff is so heavy that Black Sabbath wouldn't be ashamed to use it.

Keep it up!
Finally a video from you :D
What about fight fire with fire?
Гоша, молодец что подметил
Heaviest riffs and no *The Thing That Should Not Be*? :/
Right! It's the single heaviest (and in actual heaviness) thrash riff I've heard (followed closely by Jesus Saves)
***** Well Blackened was in there if you watched it.. And yes there are other Metallica riffs that could have been included, but this it my top TEN. Can't please everyone. The Thing That Should Not be couldn't be included because its in a different tuning and wouldn't fit the medley.
Anyway, it's a very good video :)
Zmiyu Thank you my friend!
***** yeah, its in drop D.
ur shadow looks like an alien ayy lmao
Ayy lmao
ayy lmao
Ayy lmao
Im dead went back and looked at it then choked on my chocolate bar
Ayy lmao
Finally someone added THAT WAS JUST YOUR LIFE as heavy song.
nice transition form Creeping Death into Master of Puppets! Great Job man!
Great video. Personally, I think Disposable Heroes should have had a spot here, but everyone has different opinions.
Such an underrated song.
David Näslund
Ah yes, one of my favorites
Yeah,Disposable Heroes is just great!
I don´t think that these are the heaviest, but you made an awesome video, really enjoyed it, and I can see a good effort in putting all these 10 awesome riff together in a way they match with each other. take my like bro :)
Definitely more like: Top 10 BEST Metallica riffs. Just about all of the HEAVIEST riffs were on And Justice For All.
Wow man, you nailed it!!! Keep it up.
Sad but true ?
ElliotNott it was a one take video, sad but true requires a different tuning then all the other riffs he played
Jarrod, I've just started playing guitar about 2 months ago, and your videos really inspire me to keep playing and become as good as you when I grow up! Thanks a lot man!
Too Sweet
First like :D
Best Metallica riff video I ever seen and smooth transitions
...And Justice For All is their heaviest album, so basically all the tracks off that will make this list
donaldrocks101103 that's what I was thinking. That entire album could make up this top ten. Even though there is only 8 on the album lol
Ethans Bass there are 9 songs on justice.
donaldrocks101103 i
Naaaaaah mate it’s the black album
im not a big fan of st. anger, but its objectively their heaviest album
this is freaking awsome! the songs blend into each other very well
Title needs to be "Top 10 FAMOUS Metallica Riffs"
Heaviest? Pshhh
That was a GREAT combination of riffs you did there XD!!!! Awesome dude !!!
Hey man another amazing video, any idea when we're going to see some more videos these are fantastic!
+jake Thanks a lot, I will be recording another one while i'm home for break in early March!
+Jarrod Bolon can't wait! Any spoilers?
Your face excited win :D Good job man!
My Top 10 :
-The thing that should not be
-Damage Inc.
-The call of ktulu
-Fight fire with fire
-Battery
-Blackened
-Master of puppets
-All nightmare long
-Orion
-One
Awesome transitions dude. Very well played.
Dude grow a beard and you'll look like James Hetfield.
mario1997281 If James Hetfield and Ryan Reynolds had a kid, that would probably be him.
Mihai Mike Nice one hahaha :)
+mario1997281 Oh my god... I just noticed... You are absolutely correct XD
+Mihai Mike
...or Sam Bradford.
+mario1997281 rofl
Amazing transition from one song to another! Job well done dude!
3:26 I headbanged over my soup lol

You can add "Hardwired"
Mike Goodlock look when this video was recorded. Hard wired wasn't even a thought yet. :D lol
Yep!!
Maybe it was
nicely done man, good job of meshing all of the songs together and transitioning.
Sad but true and Harvester Of Sorrow should be here. Anyway, you are really
Good
A top 10 list is always subject to critique, but there is no arguing your technique or tone... I'm talking every note with equal clarity & heaviness. Great Job, I enjoyed watching.
That was flawless!! Awesome job man!
Really great video, but imo, Dyers eve, Disposable heroes and Shortest Straw shouldve been on here
DrinkingRedBull finally someone mentions Dyers eve!
Haha yea :D Its one of my favorite metallica songs!
avengedownt Haha yea :D Its one of my favorite metallica songs!
DrinkingRedBull mine too, plus its one of the heaviest
all the justice riff should've been on here xD
This is the greatest top 10 video
I’ve ever seen
You've got those riffs perfected! Even the speaker's settings or whatever you do to change the tone of all the chords is on point. I was convinced that was Kirk Hammett in disguise for a minute
Great stuff dude. Killed it at #4!
God damn dude, I was trying to drink, but I was headbanging too hard! Earned my sub :)
+John Moore Appreciate it!!
A-MA-ZING. Good job man!
I don't see Harvester of Sorrow...
Dr. Last Minute Evil boring
+Chiko Honda not boring like u
he didnt give so you cant take
Steven Baeza the life that he forsakes?
Dr. Last Minute Evil because he was cheated of his youth
Amazing!! Best Metallica covers I have ever seen!!!
Could listen to you play all day. Absolutely nailed every song, especially Master of Puppets. Superb 👍😀
I've been reading some of the comments, just remember guys everyone has their own preferences. I thought his choices were great, sure there could be others that could be in there. Very well done!!
Man fight fire with fire needs to be on this list
Utterly speechless to how creative yet quirky that was.. quality play and a very talented guitarist
The Thing That Should Not Be.
Anthony Arnold ikr such a underrated song but is amazing
Different tuning
plasticguitar good point
Leave it for last and just drop the low E to D and bang it out! Lol He's using a fixed bridge guitar so it would take a second to do. :)
Anthony Arnold ya once you've been playing for awhile you can drop it without looking
Great video man!! Keep the good work
most of these are far from the heaviest.
i'd say frayed ends of sanity (bridge riff), the thing that should not be, sad but true, dyers eve, the house jack built (hate on load whatever you people want, i think it's still an amazing album xD) and some other songs are some of their heaviest.
anyway it still was a really nice cover dude!
Small channel great content, you're gonna blow up!
sad but true is the heaviest one, the song drops below low E.
True but it's not included because this is a one-take video and that requires special tuning
Invisible Kid is the heaviest. It's Drop G#
Lower is not Heavier!!!
Max Bg Yes it is :D
Full step down, also lower tuning doesnt mean heavier, you can play stairway to heaven heavier then that haha if dont right
You rock dude! Keep up the good work
4 master of puppets
1 death magnetic
2 and justice for all
2 ride the lightning
1 kill em all
RIP Load, ReLoad and St. Anger^^
+wierdSchizo But they are awesome albums as well.
IIIRattleHeadIII
I know, I love those albums! They are just absent from this list...
Ok this is freaking amazing, quality is amazing and the guitar is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

16
+Diego Horta good for you
are you famous yet?
+Arjun Saxena watch at his videos on youtube channel, lol
yep
He's a fucking genius.
your videos are really helping, thanks bruh
Fight Fire With Fire?
en los tops de metalcore ya lo pusieron no entiendes
he might think it's too thrashy
while battery and blackened might be more heavy than thrashy
and the thing that should not be, sad but true, and harvester of sorrow are more doomy than heavy.
30,000th subscriber! This was awesome I loved it
So good!!! What pickups are you using in the ESP Eclipse Custom?
Looks like emg 81 in bridge and emg 85 or 60 in neck
David O'Neill Noah Vieira Yep 81 bridge 60 neck
Thanks ***** David O'Neill I am planning to convert my guitar to the darkside of emg. Possibly a 57/66 set maybe even 81/60 after hearing your tones
Have you considered the EMG het-set? Rob chapman did a review, you should check it out, it's basically the 81 & 60 but with James hetfields twist
David O'Neill ye that's another possibility the only thing is they're very expensive
Dude great job! all these riffs belong with each other
my choice : 1. Orion 2. Orion 3. Orion 4. Orion 5. Orion ..................... 140. Orion :P
Lol
Awesome, thoroughly enjoyed!!
Where's fight fire with fire???
Dear guitarist kid who isn't a kid anymore, I shall now happily inform you that you have a new subscriber with a little bell. Awesome job!

You deserve more subscribers. Your playing is phenomenal!
What was the chord at the very end of the video?
Jacon Hulsgate 7 sharp 9! Hendrix chord
***** I see, nice.
Jacon Hulsgate Sweet chord innit! xD
***** Yeah, it really is
You can feel the essence of Hendrix, cant you? First thing I thought was "oh hes gonna play some purple haze"
This is fucking amazing bro, as a huge Metallica fan, I just wanna say your channel is fucking sick, nice vids man
If you made this a year later, you would have seen “Am I Savage?” On here
Very nice dude! I love mashing different Metallica songs together into one long medley myself. Well done.
no riffs from St.Anger...
Because no one likes St.Anger
St Anger has some extremely underrated riffs like Dirty Window and Sweet Amber
Yes it is. Just becuase it's different does not mean that it isn't Metallica
+Ninjoe815! The riffs are good and the vocals are priceless. Just that Lars needed to do something with his set
Reese Tiller The entire album is bloody heavy and I love it :D
Nice work brother!! Sounded awesome 👏
I think metal militia should've been on this list
its not really heavy lmao
