But the picks suffered significant stress related injuries. Specialists cannot agree on what lasting damage was done but most say the Pick's lifespan was significantly shortened.
The best part is how it flawlessly transitions from the solo to the breakdown, like you already have this epic solo and you assume they'll just go to the chorus again but after the solo keeps building and building to the climax suddenly it just slams down into this crushing breakdown with Dimebag's signature juggernaut guitar tone and just finishes out the song like that out of nowhere.
Dude, i dreamed about such BC Rich V-guitar for ~10 years. Since i was a 16 yo kid. Black body, ebony freatboard, Floyd Rose, beast head. Someday i'll buy one
I have bc rich son of beast Its pretty awesome but the problem is that u cant have a tremolo system But it always stays in tune and is extremenly easy to play And from all the guitars ive played i found that its the easiest guitar to make harmonics on
None of these are some of *the best* riffs though. This video only proves, quite entertainingly though, that you can make a decent riff on one open string or one fret.
@@kyronfrain6774 It's a well known fact that you need at least 2 frets to write some of the best riffs. OK, I'm just playing here. Of course it's all subjective.
The best thing is, that The Mirror riff is so directly influenced by Domination. Same goes for Gojira’s Lizard Skin and Decapitated’s Spheres Of Madness.
I was thinking to myself 'Oh I hope he plays the second part of the riff for the Mirror' and then 'Wait, wow. I guess that counts'. It fits so perfectly
Some might call one note riffs lazy but it's wild we can all remember these as seperate songs. If anything I find it more impressive single notes can be used so creatively. Also so glad to see Carcass on here.
that's the importance of rhythm in metal. I have this thing where a lot of my friends I used to DJ with were all in metal bands at some point, myself included. We all just love a good groove
@@sewageinspector They're all the same bland sound. When they're part of something bigger they work, on their own they're something a beginner could accidentally play lmao
A few more I can think of: Opeth - Deliverance (outro) Gojira - Remembrance (outro) Metallica - Disposable Heroes (main riff) Vektor - Black Future (intro)... Kind of cheating, but it's 0-0-0 in its core. ERRA - Gungrave (intro & 2:56)
One I feel is just the most impactful one just for the fact that the whole song it’s been melodic and harmonic and then by the end it just friggen drops and slams you with the machine gun riff.
0:04 the timing in this song makes my head hurt…it’s like the guitars aren’t synchronized with the drums but at the same time they are? Man, progressive metal is something else, haha.
Eye of the Beholder is the most underrated one in And Justice in my opinion, someone may hate me for what I'm about to say but the worst one may be Dyers Eve (imo)
in a second part you can add the disponsable heroes main riff, the raining blood breakdown, the first flying whales breakdown, and the freak on a leash, the two last ones i think that are 0-0-0-0-0 don't blame me
Hell yeah, a lot can be said with just a nice open string! Disposable Hero's has that nice long one that breaks ur arm and I almost thought about World Painted Blood but the riff does have those 2 notes at the end
Props for throwing Sacred Reich in there! I loved them growing up ! Kinda forgot about them and your video reminded me and I've been checking em out again!
I clicked on this thinking it’d be the same 10 most picked metal bands for riffs (gotta suck off the algorithm) but I loved the variety! Subbed for sure.
Sepultura's Beneath the Remains album has a shitload of great 0-0-0-0-0 riffs. Best example being Lobotomy, there's an awesome one in the beginning, and another one at the end which is also the same one from the beginning of Mass Hypnosis.
This really shows you can make lots of killer riffs by just playing 1 open chord over and over but with a snazzy, muted rhythm to it. This is one reason I enjoy playing rhythm guitar so much. Trying to think if my metal band has any riffs like that... a little bit, it's more we have a few riffs inspired by the concept (as ours either switches to a different chord or are intersected by quick single note riffing.)
Next: "Desperate Cry" by Sepultura after The acoustic break "Jambi" by Tool, The verse or The Breakdown "Reptile" by Periphery, The Last Riff before The song Ends "Remembrance" by Gojira (a person in The coments mention this One), The Last Break "Waidsmanns Heil" by Rammstein, The Breakdown
Zero the Hero could've been on this list. It has a pretty simple riff and it can grind humans with it's heaviness. One of the heaviest sabbath riffs ever.
No frets were harmed while making this video.
Maybe the second fret on a string
But the picks suffered significant stress related injuries. Specialists cannot agree on what lasting damage was done but most say the Pick's lifespan was significantly shortened.
But souls were destroyed.
just strings and pick possible ears from CHUGGING
Neither strings
The fact one note has so much variety shows how important rhythm is
Exactly!
it shows how much tone matters as well
If you don't have rhythm, don't make music at all 😂
Well yeah, half of music, I'd say.
Why is no one talking about how great his tone emulations are. Holy damn, great ear candy!
Thanks man ! Glad you noticed this !
@@TheSuffocater How did you get the tones? With your own gear or some sims? If so, which sims?

Domination's breakdown is legendary. You can't talk about breakdowns without having Dimbag's Domination in there
Agreed.
The best part is how it flawlessly transitions from the solo to the breakdown, like you already have this epic solo and you assume they'll just go to the chorus again but after the solo keeps building and building to the climax suddenly it just slams down into this crushing breakdown with Dimebag's signature juggernaut guitar tone and just finishes out the song like that out of nowhere.
The Moscow live version is the heaviest riff evermade
@@yinocold2410rumour has it that, THAT riff and breakdown created the Tsar Bomba
What a clean example of how drums complete guitars and vice versa. These riffs would sound so awkward without the drums but they sound amazing with.
Disposable Heroes deserves to be on this list
And Kill The King Megadeth
She-Wolf 👌
It's a good contender. Also Eye of the beholder.

Arise is such a good album. It's been on in the car for a solid year.
Same. Listen to it 24/7
Best thrash album
Some of the best riffs are the most simple. This video proves it.
Exactly. Can't stand when people think complicated music automatically means good music.
Not really. Atleast not this simple.
None of these are some of *the best* riffs though. This video only proves, quite entertainingly though, that you can make a decent riff on one open string or one fret.

Pt.2 ?
@@TheSuffocater Sure
She wolf
@@TheSuffocater Deliverance outro riff by Opeth
But no more Gojira please, come on they're french, when I learned that I threw out the couple albums I had of them.
These riffs really tell a story, in morse code
The best thing is, that The Mirror riff is so directly influenced by Domination. Same goes for Gojira’s Lizard Skin and Decapitated’s Spheres Of Madness.
I was thinking to myself 'Oh I hope he plays the second part of the riff for the Mirror' and then 'Wait, wow. I guess that counts'.
It fits so perfectly
Legit
The mirror part sounds like a combination of domination riff and the drumbeat of walk. Doesn't sound fitting really
Some might call one note riffs lazy but it's wild we can all remember these as seperate songs. If anything I find it more impressive single notes can be used so creatively. Also so glad to see Carcass on here.

@@sewageinspector They're all the same bland sound. When they're part of something bigger they work, on their own they're something a beginner could accidentally play lmao
im actually surprised slayer made it only two times onto this list
Same, that could be like top 131 riffs and all of them are Slayer’s xd
My favorite band ever
i agree but can’t fit em all lol
impeccable right hand, dude. You nail the vibe of all of the originals so well and your tone is on point.
A few more I can think of:
Opeth - Deliverance (outro)
Gojira - Remembrance (outro)
Metallica - Disposable Heroes (main riff)
Vektor - Black Future (intro)... Kind of cheating, but it's 0-0-0 in its core.
ERRA - Gungrave (intro & 2:56)
And a lot of Meshuggah
Deliverance is a good one
Damage Inc. Solo riff
She wolf by megadeth aswell
Gojira Remembrance outro is otherworldly
One I feel is just the most impactful one just for the fact that the whole song it’s been melodic and harmonic and then by the end it just friggen drops and slams you with the machine gun riff.
that’s why it one of my favorites of all time ;)
But The Mirror
*chugs
But domination is the heaviest one
Hate to admit it but after a solo and a dive bomb...
@@svenmilicic6802 it is the heaviest one. One is the most thrashing and impactful like I said.
Disposable Heroes is THE E riff. No other comes close, not even One.
Explosia by Gojira
Eye Of The Beholder tho.

Yeah!!!!
Eye of the Beholder is the most underrated one in And Justice in my opinion, someone may hate me for what I'm about to say but the worst one may be Dyers Eve (imo)

Good luck with that. The Fear Factory and Meshuggah ones are quite hard. Slayer is also tricky to get up to tempo.
@@NedJeffery You underestimate the power of my right hand!!!!!
@@Musicankanebadum tss!

Metallica - Disposables Heroes
Holy shit, this was surprisingly good. It's my first time seeing your content. Instant Sub. You matched the tone and everything. Awesome!!!
Great video man!!! Favourite was altered state by sepultura man I love that song.. and thank you for putting annihilator in the video! Keep it up
the outro of opeth's deliverance...
Probably one of the coolest all open riffs out there.
Amazing stuff... Man, Mikael is a total beast of a composer
in a second part you can add the disponsable heroes main riff, the raining blood breakdown, the first flying whales breakdown, and the freak on a leash, the two last ones i think that are 0-0-0-0-0 don't blame me
I don't think Disposable Heroes is only open E. I believe you hit the A-string aswell. I dunno

That " Dying " riff is from another planet!!!!!

Disposable Hero's has that nice long one that breaks ur arm and I almost thought about World Painted Blood but the riff does have those 2 notes at the end
absolutely killed it in regards to recreating the tones for this
These are amazing! Zao - a Pirates Prayer has probably the coolest open D breakdown I ever heard.

I'm having some brews and when you played Overkill i realized i haven't listened to elimination in awhile. thank you kind sir!
Great man! You even tried to replicate all the guitar tones! I appreciate the detail!
I was hoping dying was on here and not disappointed. And gojira caught me off guard ive never seen gojira in ur vids. My fav band :)
gojira is the best 😩☝🏾
Always cool to see an Overkill sighting in the wild: criminally underrated!
Props for throwing Sacred Reich in there! I loved them growing up ! Kinda forgot about them and your video reminded me and I've been checking em out again!
Somehow, this is one the greatest guitar videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam.
you nailed dimebag’s tone 😱😈🔥
1:25 So close to Decapitated's Sphere's Of Madness!
i thought the same but gojira came first , maybe he heard the song then thought of the riff in a dream lol
Finally something I can (attempt to) learn! btw good job with the tones.
Was instantly thinking of Meshuggah’s bleed but good on ya for going with another of their tracks.
Thumbs up for Sacred Reich
I used to have that album on cassette no less!
About time, same for a Overkill
the One riff is one of the most memorable riffs to me
Very good point! Great job dude
I clicked on this thinking it’d be the same 10 most picked metal bands for riffs (gotta suck off the algorithm) but I loved the variety! Subbed for sure.
Amazing how one note can be so brutal.
No one talks about the killer drums that make this riffs so good
Dude awesome choices!!
I was waiting for someone to do this
I'd like to personally thank Jerry Cantrell for taking time out of his busy schedule to make this video for us
Lol he looks like a combination of marty friedman and cantrell
Y’all seem to forget how *SICK* the Disposable Heroes riff is!
My god, the Pantera and Fear Factory tones you got going here were insanely good!
Great idea for a video! Highlights the importance of rhythm.
Sepultura's Beneath the Remains album has a shitload of great 0-0-0-0-0 riffs. Best example being Lobotomy, there's an awesome one in the beginning, and another one at the end which is also the same one from the beginning of Mass Hypnosis.
Desperate Cry would have been good also.
Yours videos are awesom!!! Regards from México
Thanks a lot ! Greets from germany !
Deliverance outro. This is great
Lobotomy by sepultura also deserved to be in that list, that intro riff is killer
Nothing beats Domination for me.
nice picks. also nice tones
i love the content bro. ♥️🔥
i was going to say that Lizard Skin was my favorite but then you had to go & play Born In Dissonance. \m/💀
Nothing against every other song here, but "Arise" is one album that every person should listen to before they die. It's amazing.
Best thrash metal record ever made.
I agree. It's a really good album.
Also, I don't þink you needed to clarify ðat you didn't hate ðe oðer songs
I like the way you showed off your guitar collection

Where is Disposable Heroes?
your guitar tones were spot on
It's videos like this that make me subscribe immediately.

CoB upping the ante with In Your Face. That piano-crunch underneath the guitars - such a unique sound.

No Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura? the best breakdown ever
Either way he saved the best for last. I was just happy to see them and by them I mean the real Sepultura

not 0000000 though, Neon Knights would work though lol
I feel like BFG division should be in another rendition of this video because it really is a simple two fret riff but GODDAMN is it good
i love the note progression
Didn't expect you to start with a DT song! I've tried playing The Mirror before and was surprised by how much of it is just that chord.
