This was the first time I’ve heard this riff and it remains one of my favourite riffs even a year later, right up there with Panteras Far Beyond Driven hits. Absolute poetry.
100%. I heard this and Battery in '86 and it changed my playing forever. I was in the Functional Idiots in the mid 80's and you got it just about right. NYHC was a very closed clique at the time...Biohazard, Cromags...played with most of the hardcore bands back in the day. CBs was the coolest place in the world until you walked in...then you realized it was the grossest dive you've ever seen. It was an amazing era. The difference was it was dangerous. SOD was fucking ridiculously dangerous. Couldn't exist today. Same with my band back in day. Rude, crude, tacky and vulgar. Great times. Fun fact-Pi Alpha Nu is about the fraternity I was in at that time. Billy was best friends with the singer from my band and he came to New Paltz NY to hang and play. He was very impressed by the toga party he attended...as well he should be. 250 kegs, dozens of moshing frat members....legendary. His later band MOD covered my bands song "He's Dead, Jim"
Haha. Interesting about pi alpha nu. I remember the song about the fat Chick in the crowd 🤔 that used to crack us friends up. Crazy times. Don’t know how we lived through them.
@ Matt Flemming wow, I remember my last year in what you guys would call high school back in 1988 in Ireland. A friend's cousin was over from New York and he let us listen to "In Pursuit Of Toast". We were all big fans of east coast Thrash, Crossover and Punk. We listened to everything we could get our hands on; Overkill, Nuclear Assault, Anthrax, SOD, MOD, Crumbsuckers, Ludichrist, Blessed Death but we'd never heard of you guys. Needless to say, we thought you guys killed it. A couple years later I got my hands on He's Dead Jim on purple vinyl. I still have it and play it occassionally.
@@tonytendencies4698 Thank you, Tony. We were nowhere near any of those other bands...just an obnoxious hardcore band out of upstate NY. It's awesome that you guys got to hear us. It really was an amazing time. We got letters from Russia and Germany from people. Really fkn cool. This was back in the time New York was dangerous, CB's was a shithole and we raged. 'Caligula would grin.'
I still play that album all the time! Scott is the Tony Iommi of the 80s in terms of riff writing imo. I think the biggest thing killing metal right now is all the guitar players writing the drum parts with computers and making the kick lock to their right hand. It's so bad, drummers are trying to learn how to sound like a computer!
For what was pretty much a goofing-around side project this LP had a massive impact, I think you can hear it's influence on the slower, chugging bits of 'Among the living'. It was also the first time I remember seeing the crossed NYHC logo and hearing the word 'mosh' - the chugging bits in the songs were listed on the lyric sheet as the 'mosh part'. The LP title and the lyrics were dubious then as now but you're right about them just doing it as a big F-you to wind people up. Billy Milano always came across as a massive bonehead dick, which I guess makes him the ideal frontman for the project.
Amen. The march crushes and your tone is spot-on as well. The only thing controversial here is your 1/4 step bend followed by a pull-off at the fifth fret. I'm refering to the second riff.
Bro, you have a really relaxing voice. You should make a podcast where you tell stories, or just talk about life in general, and people listen to it to help them sleep.
You speak of knowing authenticity and the fans know. I agree and I have to be honest I lived in Cali and grew up in the thrash scene. We were part of a movement! Since the Gojira is the only band to have tapped the hairs in the back of my neck! I’ve saw them live in SF at the Gilmore on Magma tour. I was genuinely blown away by the live tone and they’re EVH gear. Ever since I’ve wanted to trade my marshal half stack. Afterwords I researched interviews and they are pretty much line to amp. Until Magma and a pedal o ti stir is used. That impress the hell out of me! So old school thinking. Cut the BS and crank up the gain! Anyways if you read this message I’d love to se a Gojira segment from you! Thanks brother for keeping REAL metal alive.
@@CIRCLEOFTONE hell yeah brother. I think they are red pilled to. Just listen to the lyrics of the storm! Also another song about child trafficking(born for one thin) seen in the video. And the main riff to Sphinx reminds me the days when Slayer reign in blood and Master of puppets were out when you’d here a heavy riff but the more you listened the heavy it got! About the brother drummer your right. Check out I’m sphinx-how he keeps adding a longer and faster transition drum roll. What are your thought on they’re equipment and EVH AMPS specifically ? Thanks for the reply!
Awesome video, awesome song, awesome band, and love the editorializing at the end. Spot on...lived through that stuff, and your comments struck a chord. Keep it up with great music and great commentary....!!!!
Thank you for bringing the knowledge of the division between hardcore/ punk and the metal scene. It happened here for years in Rochester NY with the skins and long hairs. We all loved the aggressive music, but for some reason...hair was the deciding factor...total bullshit. We all loved the same type of aggression in music, but it essentially came down to how you looked. And that usually ended up in both sides warring against each other for no fucking reason!
I was hunting that tone for long time…the closest result i had it with Ada MP-1 3tm through Marshall 9000 power amp into Mesa halfback loaded with C-90’s…it’s all about speakers man…good video as always 🤟
Just listened to this song again after... I don't know... 20 years?! Although the production sounds terribly dated this is still one of the most crushing riffs of all time.
I was about to go out and play Crosby stills and yawn to tourists here in Salem. Then I seen you playing my first guitar riff ever!! I agree with all of this and I'm going to fight my instincts and go out now. I swear
Billy sounds like the east coast version of Paul Baloff! Anyway, I was checking out your channel to see if you had any info to replicate Scott's S.O.D. guitar tone. But It's funny how so many people in metal today are trying to revisit the sounds of the good old days of 79-85. All of my favorite young bands today sound like they are from that era weather, its thrash, speed, power, black, death, or doom - or any combination of those. Cheers mate.
Great video brother, and I agree with you on the social woes plaguing society right now. I grew up on Long Island New York and watch the hardcore scene spring up out of nowhere seemingly. It was definitely a fun time to be alive. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
As a guitarist in different bands, for me it's all about playing a sound that YOU like und writing riffs that YOU like, then put in the hours to make it work together and something unique will come out that's you. If you default to prebuild blocks of stuff "that works", be it riffs and/or sounds, it will come out bland und usually you won't feel it when you perform. At least that's my experience.
Welcome to planet MFr is a pretty good introduction to White Zombie. Charlie is incredible I wasn’t expecting him to steal the Pantera tribute shows he’s definitely got the chops.
A lot of younger folk don't realise how much Scott Ian and James Hetfield down picking / palm muted style has influenced metal. Not saying that they invented it but made it popular ✌✌
You can get the same tone and aggression but recordings are so much clearer today and that's part of the magic. I heard a cleaned up remaster of stairway to heaven and it sounded like dogshit. But with all the background noise and unclear quality of the original all the guitars were back in tune and everything blended better. Same thing, imo.
I don’t think enough people pick this one for their top 20, 50 or 100 lists. Maybe they don’t know it. Who knows? There’s no denying that this album had a huge influence on metal as a whole
It's interesting that Slayer & Metallica get so much credit for wearing punk shirts on stage when Scott Ian was literally playing in bands with people from the NYHC scene & Nuclear Assault and actively participating in the underground, yet Anthrax doesn't seem to get the same amount of respect or revelry from the underground even though their influence can be felt all over Crossover and NYHC. But I'm only 33 and wasn't there so what do I know! Anyway, love when you dig into the lore of the bands, it's what makes the old scenes so interesting imho and what the current crop of bands is missing.
@@CIRCLEOFTONE I have the cliche 50w stealth I feel like my rig is a Rock swiss army knife. COT, Id like to recommend the album punish and destroy by Weekend Nachos
Channel is turning into Circle of Moan recently. Love the talk about gear and the playing is always spot on (Amazing tone in this video especially), but don't need 2/3 of the video to be an "Old man yells at cloud" style rant about the classic "Music was better in my day" opinion 🤷🏻♂️
Were you old enough to see the clash of the titans tour in 1990? I went to the Manchester concert and Birmingham , those were the best two thrash metal concerts I've ever witnessed .
march of the SOD? march of Godzilla more like it! Classic album! TC Booster + Marshall and minimalist recording = Scott's guitar tone on that ! Less is more
Soldiers of Destruction, Stormtroopers of Death, Speak English or Die had loads of out there crazy names we came up with as kids for what the initials S.O.D meant. AND before anyone says it the guys / Anthrax were and are ultra cool, not hate based and didn't support anything racist or far right etc... From what I recall a lot of it was based on the UK 2000AD Comic stuff. Not an expert so my take on that may not be 100 % correct. Anthrax were and are great though and deserve higher recognition for their part on the scene than what they get overshadowed by Metallica and Megadeth. Well not Megadeth of course as Megadeth are and always will be no1 👌😂
Just wanted to gloat that I have a 1979 JMP 2203 😁 Glad you rate them Owen! 🤘 And you're absolutely spot on the way you describe the cliques back in the day haha, good stuff!
Funny how the more modern the metal tone the less gain and vintage it gets. The only difference is where the low pass filter and eq sits. If you cut the bass at 100-140 hz and you got a modern tone just about imo. Yeah modern metal has gone too pedestrian haha
Yep. Like when it was the MTV headbangers ball intro. Visually links them with being heavy. The riff and tone has to be there, but it's the rest of the puzzle that makes it legendary.
@@CIRCLEOFTONE I knew a bunch of hardcore punk fans in a uni share house back in 99 who had the rap music channel on their TV constantly… on mute 🤫… because no one was listening 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
last band that tried to push buttons was Whirr. they got cancelled and one band they were jokingly bashing, G.L.O.S.S., got pushed. now nobody cares about G.L.O.S.S. because ppl tend to forget about boring dime-a-dozen generic hxc punk bands.
it is great riff but dude its not the best in my opinion but opinions will differ due to personal likes , for example disposable hero's has a more intense opening , for me thats hella chug chug chug🤘
That's a classic riff but too fast for oomph of chug plus it did not have the MTV headbamgers ball intro etc to push it over the edge to the public. By the way you may like this ua-cam.com/video/uSgTYwuzDB8/v-deo.html
Billy was literally Antifa at SoD shows, lots of talk of him beating up nazis. EDIT: This is reference to anyone who misses the point of SoD, It's a satire.
@@Snandra66 Yep but if he was racist to his core why would he join a band with Jews in it? There are levels to racism and in the late 70's it was hard to find white guys in NYC that didn't raise an eyebrow to entire blocks of stores etc not talking English. I personally think S. O.D. were dumb and were guilty of stereotype levels of "humor". It was messed up but that was nothing compared to what Mark Wahlberg and co were doing at the time.
@@CIRCLEOFTONE The edgy humor I don't have much problem with but when he makes statements like that publicly you start to wonder how much of a joke it actually is to him. And I mean it's not absolutely not unheard of for racists to have friends of the same ethnicities they're prejudiced against, they'll often find "one of the good ones" and use them as proof like "see? I'm not actually racist at all I have a friend who's (insert ethnic minority)."

I was 15 when SOD came out .. that album changed my life... the song FREDDY KRUEGER also has a massive heavy legendary riff !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hell of a time to be a teenager. So fun.
All of Scott Ian's best riffs are on the S.O.D. album!
Charlie benantte came up with the basics of the riff , according to Scott they would just play the riff when warming up ,and it went from there.
Intro for Among the Living is as heavy as any SOD riff.
Charlie the drummer ALSO wrote some of those incredible riffs!!!!! He is a BEAST 💯💯💯

It's a classic but didn't get the general public loving it from MTV Headbangers ball intro music etc. It's all about hype, not just the riff.
Billy was literally Antifa at SoD shows, lots of talk of him beating up nazis.
EDIT: This is reference to anyone who misses the point of SoD, It's a satire.
Based of him to beat up nazis, calling Scott Ian a "dirty jew" and using an ethnic slur against jews, not so much
@@Snandra66 Yep but if he was racist to his core why would he join a band with Jews in it? There are levels to racism and in the late 70's it was hard to find white guys in NYC that didn't raise an eyebrow to entire blocks of stores etc not talking English. I personally think S. O.D. were dumb and were guilty of stereotype levels of "humor". It was messed up but that was nothing compared to what Mark Wahlberg and co were doing at the time.
@@Snandra66 oh wow, didn't know he was saying that shit. Is this from an interview?
@@sammadden5540 From what I understand he openly posted it on his facebook, should be an article on it if you just google it
@@CIRCLEOFTONE The edgy humor I don't have much problem with but when he makes statements like that publicly you start to wonder how much of a joke it actually is to him. And I mean it's not absolutely not unheard of for racists to have friends of the same ethnicities they're prejudiced against, they'll often find "one of the good ones" and use them as proof like "see? I'm not actually racist at all I have a friend who's (insert ethnic minority)."
Nope
Nasty tone.
