- This is my Part 2 of 90's GRUNGE/ALTERNATIVE Riffs That Won Us METALHEADS Over. I stayed up till 6am to finish this one. Was well worth it since I dig these riffs so much. Thanks for watching. I apologized for Nirvana because it's so overplayed, in case you were wondering. :)

Thanks!!!
I’m gonna be honest: when I heard ‘Just One Fix’, I immediately started thinking, “Du. Du hast. Du hast mich…”
So much this
Sounds more like Rammstein’s “Links 2 3 4” to me
Go listen to Die Krupps as well. As hell.
I too, thought this.
Many years earlier, just to be clear.
You could probably add literally everything AIC and Soundgarden ever did to that list
I think 90s alternative music was the perfect mix of punk and metal, that’s why it appealed in such a wide audience
Really? We (metalheads/punks) generally hated that stuff. I certainly never saw it as a mix of punk and metal.
@@hmpz36911 because you were purists
Love that you added something from S.C.I.E.N.C.E., but surprised it wasn't Nebula.
Also, glad you included Refused. This was awesome!
That certain shade of green opening riff made me buy the album without listening to the rest, so I understand it completely :-)
Or new skin
Certain shade was a more well known tune so guess prob cause of that. It's also a banging tune
So awesome!
Plenty of great Metal riffs on that album. Glass, New Skin, Vitamin, and most importantly CALGONE! They saved the best song on the album for last.
The first Foo Fighters album is full of fantastic riffs.
That whole Ministry album was so good. I remember driving around with Jesus Built my Hotrod cranked up in my car. Loved that album. Same with Faith no More. 2 bands that I thought really had something new to offer.
I had to go back a couple times to remember Ministry! Very cool.
Ministry are awesome.
2:52 - Faith No More's Falling to Pieces/Zombie Eaters cassingle was the first piece of music I ever owned. I was 5 and hadn't yet learned out to read, so my older brother had to pick it out for me from the shelf.
Thanks for grinding this out all night for us! Looking fwd to pt3🤘🏼
Tad is such an underrated band , Inhaler record is filled with some nice ass riffs. It still sounds so good
Watching the first video, I wondered if he'd ever heard Tad. Still surprised he threw em on here. Inhaler is a killer record.
The L7, Ministry, and The Refused albums are all amazing, highly recommended.
Shame on me! How could I forget about L7?! There was also a band more known back then, an all female group called "Babes in Toyland."
I was VERY young...but loved the energy from them. 🤘❤️🔥
I'm a little surprised there's no Dinosaur Jr in here. Awesome riffs in that band.
I used to play the bass line and fill of Sabotage at rehearsals right after tuning, it used all four strings so it was like a little tuning test
L7 getting mentioned? That's cool. Bricks Are Heavy is a heavy ass album.
Zombie Eaters, AND Just One Fix? Friggin awesome choices
This is only the 3rd video I've watched but I've enjoyed this. Great job
Great job. Great sounds on drums, bass, and guitar.
OMG , this was amazing. Reminded why I love these sounds - the ENERGY!! Awesome! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Ha that's funny I've already thought AIC and STP sounded similar. Great compilation by the way!!!! This, and strong coffee got me rolling this morning. Thanks!!!
Whoa that was an awesome collection of killer riffs ! Love your drumming 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This is awesome! Have to listen to The Shape of Punk to Come for the next couple days now! Love your channel!
Sorry, that's impossible. You are going to spend the rest of your life listening to it.
Great video Mike, really great sounds too
I would like to say thanks for this video, as it introduced me to Ministry, and later STP.
Dare I say better than part 1? Just One Fix, Zombie Eaters...and TAD. Saw Tad open for Soundgarden on the Superunknown tour. Great show that was (by both bands). Also, a Tad song is playing in the movie Singles when Cliff blows all the windows out of the car. 😂 So. Much. Nostalgia.
Awesome list!
Awesome as always, man, loved the addition of Sabotage so a video like this on bass riffs would be great too
Watching part one, already has my head spinning....the right way. Also....I feel like there MAY be a part 3, just an assumption at this point 😊 I want to wait (?) and let it all absorb again.....although not easy to hold back commenting on all the crazy awesome music coming back to life in my brain again after way too many years. Funny....not necessarily like riding a bike (or skates lol), a lot easier in fact, go figure. Thanks again for some great run downs!
"Zombie" The Cranberries
....has always, and still, rocks my face off ❤️🔥🤩
Zombie Eaters is such an amazing song with an incredible riff, more so because it's hiding behind the slowest intro on the album. It really sneaks up on you!
Good song, but the pick should’ve been Surprise! You’re Dead! That song is out and out thrash metal, not alternative.
Nice! I’m gonna add these to my playlist, thanks
Thank you so much for this awesome video! Yes ... Zombie Eaters FNM. I remember those middle school tingles I would get listening to that trk. Your drumming sounds great btw.
I see Zombie and Sex Type Thing in there Mike :)
I don't remember or haven't heard a bunch of these. I got some catching up to do now!
Oh, one more I just remembered - Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls.
Man how do you make your recordings sound so damn good? Your guitar tone in these is amazing. Besides being a guitar guru you're also a damn good engineer if you recorded and mixed these yourself. Gotta share the sauce dude!
I think it’s called trying for decades, failing, and just trying again and again. :) Plus I grew up with a best friend who is a recording engineer and he taught me a lot. I appreciate the comment.
Yes! Even more of the "Mike Pop Video" :P . I loved seeing L7 included here. Sh*tlist was the first song I learned to play from L7, thanks to its inclusion in the Pet Sematary 2 soundtrack. I am loving this format Mike, keep the vids coming!
This music was so much more appealing to me than glam and a lot of the metal bands. Thanks for the effort and it sounded great as usual.
Faith No More really was the complete package while Jim Martin was still in the band. Im aware how awesome Patton and co. are on their own merits, but even tho they don't want to admit it the tension created by Jim adding a metal touch to songs FNM intended to be poppy/jazzy was what was such a draw for them. Not the same since
Patton has done some pretty killer collab work. Check out lovage if you're into trip hop.
I loved seeing the bass in this one!
Sweet! Love these little tidbits!
I've got to say it, Dude your engineering skills are getting pretty great.
always appreciate some Tad love.
I started listening to Ministry when they released "A Mind is a Terrible Thing the Taste" and I've always thought they were metal.
Industrial metal, pretty much.
Psalm 69 was one of my favorite albums forever!
The Shape of Punkt to Come... One of my all time favourites.
REFUSED! Both "The Shape of Punk To Come" and "Songs to Fuel The Flames of Discontent" are perfect albums. There is nothing meaningless or out of place and nothing bad on either, and they are both the perfect length for the styles they were going for.
Agree on both counts -- would add that 2019's "War Music" was also very good. Not up there with the other two (which is an unfair comparison), but still much better than what most other bands have done.
First off, great videos (both of them). I'm not a grunge/alternative fan, but you have played a few songs that I really like. I'm not what a lot of people would classify as metalhead...at least not by today's standards. I like late 80's and early 90's "hair bands". Pop metal I guess you could call it. I'm a big fan of Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, Warrant, Slaughter, Winger, Firehouse, Cinderella, Trixter, and yes, even Nelson (stop laughing, lol). I also love old Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne, bit melodic pop metal is my thing. I play a lot of covers, been in cover bands. So I always appreciate your videos because you have a lot of diversity in your playing. I hope you do more video's like this where you explore different kinds of rock from different era's. And while I'm not a huge fan of the 90's Seattle sound, I give you an A+ for everything.
Yes! Refused! What a great surprise to see them here!
faith no more will always be my favourite band ever ! happy birthday mike !
Still remember a club in Hamburg, when the Saturdays were called SepulBioPantura... and when Cranberries' Zombie played the dance floor didn't empty... it was still full and they rocked to it.
Awesome to see STP in the mix!!!
Oh man.....the B.Boys "Sabatoge"?
I mean hell yes 🤘
Faith No More makes sense as Mike Patton draws from many influences, which you can hear his varying styles fully unleashed in his other band Mr. Bungle.
Awesome! A bunch of these I hadn't heard and will have to check out. If you ever do a list for 00's riffs you should check out Carmelina by Matthew Good Band. He was big up here in Canada!
I'll stick around is easily my favorite foo fighters song. Glad to see it getting some attention. Hella underrated
The guitar in these videos is soo perfect. Is it the Engl setup as well? What pups do you have in this Jag?
Tad! Loved the Melvins on part 1 as well. Can’t go wrong with any AIC and pre- BadMotorFinger Soundgarden.
Recommend Gruntruck, Skin Yard and Mudhoney…much loved Seattle legends. Paw’s Dragline was killer as well.
💜Just by looking at the letters "RVA", I already knew what band shirt you were gonna wear! Hahahahaha!
I'm really digging these riff videos you are making! Takes me back - I am a big metal head who was in college when grunge hit, and I ended up loving it, too. BTW - what DAW are you using to record/mix your audio? I've been having a lot of fun recording full song covers as part of my learning to play guitar and am always looking for tips about recording/mixing. Thanks!
It’s an Apollo x16 by UA. 👍
Great playing ,as always !Mine was Would by AIC ,Come as you are, Black Hole Sun...But, i think i was ready for it because i loved Epic by Faith no more and all kinds music diff from Maiden
Shit man, I was genuinely surprised to hear Just One Fix. Love that song
Cool, someone who knows New noise by the Refused👍 Blew my mind when it came out🎸🤘🎸
Great list! Love seeing FNM on there. Their first couple of albums are so killer.
The Crab Song, baby!!!
Always loved a bit of TAD.
TAD!!!! Thank you for giving them props!!
Refused! Yes! Shape of Punk to Come is amazing.
Dude? No Israel's Son by Silverchair?! That's one of the heaviest riffs to come out of the post grunge era. It's at least worth an honorable mention. I think, anyways. Still, great set of videos. Kudo's, my dude!
So happy to see "Diet Pill" and "Grease Box" in this. L7 is super-underrated, and especially Bricks are Heavy, as is TAD, I really have trouble seeing TAD as anything but a metal band. I think one of the things that causes the whole grunge vs metal argument (besides a lot of pointless posturing) is the fact that 1) A lot of us found grunge/alternative at the same time as "any metal that wasn't hair metal/arena rock/glam metal etc" To a lot of us the grungers and punks were a lot angerier and more agressive to us, so antything that wasn't (rightly or wrongly) seen as the standard 80's metal singing about how rich, handsome and popular you were) seemed a lot mroe angry/aggressive/real to us. Personally, my own stuff, while I consider myself a metalhead is actually a mix alternative, grunge, punk, goth, and extreme metal. Basically Sonic Youth meets EYEHATEGOD or Jack off Jill meets Crowbar. Again, rightly or wrongly, the divide to me will always be between music that seems to be bragging and music that seems to be in pain. I will always prefer the latter.
Oh, that was so good. Great riffs, one after the other (replay!). Love your channel.
I saw the video for "New Noise" back in college, and then lost it for almost 20 years, not knowing who sung it, what the name was, nothing. Just that weird video. So glad to rediscover this unique and bad-A song.
Faith No More and Incubus … YES!!! Back in my younger days, “Outshined” was what won me over to Soundgarden … maybe include that opening riff in part 3?
Nice,giving it up to "L7" "the beauty process" was also a really good album of theirs.Gotta put some music from the band "Failure" "fantastic planet" next time!!!👍🤘😜just busting your nada.lol awesome as always brotha.
Zombie Eaters is a killer track. Nice.
what a nice collection of tunes!
Amazing
Agree re: Refused album "The Shape of Punk to Come" -- an absolute must have. I like all of their stuff (even the more recent "comeback album" is great), but Shape is something spectacular and truly special/unique.
Man you included Samurai as well! Good to see some Johnny Silverhand love. That dude got issues but made some good tunes
0:58 -- 'cause it basically was :) Easier to ride in on an accepted band's sound first. See Self Esteem by the Offspring, which was near as makes no difference the same song as SLTS.
Big ups for Zombie Eaters and Just One Fix!
Zombie Eaters. What a sleeper on that already amazing album.
Diet Pill is amazing!! That and Monster is their most sludgy-grunge songs
Incubus is so underrated, I heard A Certain Shade Of Green at just the right time in my life. The lyrics just entirely rocked my world.
Love the TAD appreciation
Mike you've got great taste man, so many times I'm like "shit he's got this band as well?". Gonna check out some of the ones I don't know, they're probably good as well.
R.i.p. Mike Scaccia. I was at lollapalooza 92 with ministry at Harriet Island
Been hoping to see some Soul Asylum in this series. Some great guitar work throughout their discography.
I’m friends with the guitarist. I should have him play on it.
Man I rocked SCIENCE for a looooong time, love it dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sabotage always gives me a smile. Did you know there's a clip of Slipknot and Korn playing it? Absolutely hilarious and wholesome.
Was pleasantly surprised to see L7!
I remember back in 96 or 97 I saw Limp Bizkit in a small club in Memphis right when "faith" had come out. And Incubus opened for them,they were hardcore back in the day.Brandon the singer had these really long braids and he'd play a bongo on stage.lol was awesome!!!
I rocked the hell out of that Ministry record in 1992!
Great list! I'd also include Ugly Kid Joe's "So Damn Cool"... that riff is still so heavy.
Oh man The Shape of Punk to Come has one of my favorite riffs. Summerholidays vs Punkroutine. Not really heavy, but lots of fun
Bricks are heavy is such an amazing album
That Faith No More album Epic!
Moreee pls
I just wanna say that I really like the list but it's cool if PJ got some more love too 😉🤠
Really great stuff, man. I only wish you’d remove that ‘chime/pop-up’ sound when you add the text bubbles…just want to her you jamming, brother
Science by Incubus is a good album but my personal favorite is ~Make yourself~ that whole album rocks imo
Crackerman was my favorite riff of STP's first album
Love the refused drop in this.
Zombie Eaters is such an awesome song, hell Faith No More is an Epic band
I can hear influence of Fugazi in that Refused band. I would probably listen them much back in those days as hardcore music was my thing.
THE ART OF GUITAR, can you make a video lesson about all the STP stone temple pilots chords because they don't usually play normal major chords or minor chords Robert and Dean try to use jazz chords and unusual chord voicings
EVERYBODY thought that "Sex Type Thing" was an AIC song unless they already knew otherwise. You can go through Core song-by-song and point out where Weiland's doing his Layne Staley impression, his Eddie Vedder impression, his Kurt Cobain impression, and his Chris Cornell impression -- sometimes in the same song. Personally, it got on my nerves. That, and the fact that "Plush" should end about six chorus repeats before it actually does.
As far as the riff that won my Metallikid self over to AIC goes, it was "Man in the Box." The second that track appeared on Headbanger's Ball, I was hooked. And Faith No More -- if you couldn't appreciate "Epic" as a metalhead, you damn sure got onboard once you heard "Surprise! You're Dead!" For Ministry, it was "Stigmata"; for NIN, it was "Head Like a Hole"; for L7, it was "Shitlist."
I remember Porno for Pyros being a tough sell for me after the magnificence of Jane's Addiction -- which was made even tougher when they released the limp "Pets" as the single. The track that won me over to that album was "Cursed Female."
A few others that stood out:
Hole -- "Violet"
Gruntruck -- "Crazy Love"
Mother Love Bone -- "Stardog Champion"
Temple of the Dog -- "Pushin' Forward Back"
Morphine -- "Honey White"
That first foo fighters record is fuckin badass I’m surprised you didn’t put weenie beenie!
