TOP 10 METAL RIFFS PRODUCED

[radzio777]

Moron who knows NOTHING about metal. Dragonforce speed up their music in studio, If dragonforce can play in studio, why can't they do it live? By the way, atreyu and avenged sevenfold are Metalcore. Metalcore is music which evolved from Hardcore, which isn't metal. So why you call this shit metal? Are you dumb? None of these riffs are good at all, every Stoner Metal (i bet you even don't know what's this) riff owns every band in this vid.

[MindViRuSeS]

@radzio777 You're still off. Theres a differnce between hardcore and metal smart one. Metalcore is metal with a little twist in some points.

[crazyguitar787]

what the music of intro?

[brentbanaagbaab]

choose real metal if you are gonna post a vid about "metal riffs," may it be classical metal, thrash, death, black, doom, etc., not poser metal like those core shit (and A7x)...

[fendermatt497]

@brentbanaagbaab a7x are not posers

[brentbanaagbaab]

@brentbanaagbaab prove your point.

[uponthewake]

the only good band on here was Opeth...and even then it was one of my least favorite opeth album/song.

[xHOMEBROx]

i have an issue. i like all these riffs because not one of you could play them all neither could i and i also really enjoy a7x in fact im going to uproar specifically for them. but these are all great bands

[uponthewake]

@xHOMEBROx I can play them all...except for maybe dragonforce, but then again they are mere guitar masterbation...the rest of the riffs are fairly easy

[pwnagexe]

avenged sevenfold? metal? good riffs? i dont think so.

[fendermatt497]

@pwnagexe THEY ARE METAL WITH GOOD RIFFS UR RETARTED

[InfernapeCalib]

@ZombieDog131 it isn't? It's hard rock. Their old stuff is metalcore. I.E STST WTF.

[GNRslash28]

@ZombieDog131 but they're not a metal band...

[GNRslash28]

@ZombieDog131 I have heard that song. Once you hear real metal you'll understand that z7x sounds more like a boy band than anything. stuff like Morbid Angel, Deicide, Death, Sodom, Venom etc.

[GNRslash28]

a7x is not metal you fucking idiots

[Darkflame3600]

@GNRslash28 Who cares if they arnt metal they are great and dont you know how hard it is to make music dood?

[GNRslash28]

@Darkflame3600 but the title is top 10 metal riffs and they aren't metal.....

[Darkflame3600]

@GNRslash28 But they sound great you know =-)

[gteamer]

Man, I wasn't sure if you were going to add Sonata Arctica or Symphony X, but because you did, this gets a thumbs up!

[666vinicin666]

Is that a Trivium song in the start ?

[TheLastAbacus]

If u had picked any other dragonforce song, i would have killed u ;P

[SquallLeonhart4444]

all of that sucked dick

its posers like you that give us real metalheads a bad name

[stickmanXP]

Have you listened to Waking the Demon? is a great riff....you should chek it out

[swordslash97]

You are a horrible person and your music taste is goddamn awful. The fact that you grouped Symphony X with metalcore and super shitty bands is beyond a sin, and God shall punish you and those who follow you.

[CapnPuff69]

@swordslash97 ^This

[MetalLicka777]

great list but needled 24/7 is my favorite

[xXDarkWarrior666Xx]

Ensiferum - Batle song Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark Dimmu Borgir - Burn In Hell Deep Purple - Burn Norther - Mirror Of Madness Ensiferum - Deathbringer From The Sky Metallica - Master of Puppets Lamb Of God - Walk With Me in Hell Bring Me The Horizon - Chelsea Smile, this is my list xD

[CoDxEpic]

DragonForce are a "Studio Speed Metal" band because they can't play the full song withut stopping or doing exactly the same as the studio version, they record different parts then stick them all together, if you notice when they're live, they improv. on TTFAF solo cause Herman and Sam can't do the solos without stopping.

[MrJuico1337]

@CoDxEpic They do not improv on the solos in the live vids I've seen.

[stormtrooper86]

Opeth are the only one i liked tbh, the rest is just not for my taste. Here's some of the shit that was overlooked: Dismemer - Override of the Overture, Black Sabbath - Iron Man, Morbid Angel - Maze of torment, Solitude Aeternus - Burning, Candlemass - Solitude, Manilla Road - Necropolis, Slough Feg - Gene-ocide, Atheist - Piece of time etc

[SharinganMan]

@stormtrooper86 Either you didn't read the description, or you don't know jack shit about shit

[fillipeano]

Symphony X's riff was the best on there. A7X is fine but that riff was weak as hell. And don't even get me started on Dragonforce..

[Chaz6993X]

Bodom is the shit, but Sixpounder is a better riff. Atreyu is emo and gay. Dragonforce is actually really good, other then the fact that they reuse a lot of stuff. I've never heard of Archeon. Opeth is really good. Never heard of Mars. Lamb of God is brutal and true American Heavy Metal. Symphony X is so amazing. and Sonata Arctica is really good too.

[CannibalKangaroo121]

i LOVE A7X. They are my fav band ever. but honestly i don't see why everyone is so crazy about unholy confessions. they have much better songs with much better riffs

[crammiddleschool]

Atreyu and A7X FTW!

[linkinparkismusic]

@xwakingthefallenx nice list but u gotta tweak the audio

[wildbucky]

the only think im not crazy about on this list is dragonforce

[linkinparkismusic]

@wildbucky we know dragonforce is over rated because of guitar hero but give the band credit they r an awesome band, even tho ppl never liked them until guitar hero

[wildbucky]

@linkinparkismusic i actually agree with you on that one. to be honest, i fell sorry for the dragonforce fans pre-guitar hero. yes they do have talent, but it sucks how they got that bad rep among actual metalheads.

[audiodead]

Utter shite list.  Noughties metal is utter twaddle.

[youngb1ood]

lamb of god or pantera probably have the best riffs. but the atreyu song is pretty good as well.

[billybobtrailertrash]

fuck everyone who says trivium are shit live they are awesome live i hope everyone who said that gets raped tortured and die a slow painful death once again fuck you

[darthsasuke554]

lol

just lol

[xXxAlexSalxXx]

its amazing what people call METAL now, most of this isnt even close to metal.

[curtisawesum]

pussy list...no real memorable or truly great riffs...btw ur a fag for puttin dragonforce on here

[xdavidbbyx]

@curtisawesum

Need some Cannibal Corpse

[DavidH2404]

I would've put Eternal Rest over Unholy Confessions... insane intro and epic heavy verse... so genius.

[lordofflies666]

i gotta say. some of these riffs are good. and im glad you explained these are your faves that was real smart on your part. assholes are everywhere, even amongst our Metal brethren unfortunately(too bad there's no "metalhead burning-at-the-stake" for this inconvenience). and for those that like Trivium, they're a good band, but they suck live. Matt Heafy just sounds terrible on vocals. the rest of the band's good though. A7X is the same way. The Rev was a killer drummer man. such a shame. R.I.P.

[darthsasuke554]

@lordofflies666 Trivium sucks live????

fuck you my good sir...fuck you

[lordofflies666]

@darthsasuke554 i have a fuckin right to speak my own damn mind. so fuck you too asshole and go back to school you twatmuffin.

[darthsasuke554]

@lordofflies666 and i have the right to speak my mind two

that right does go both ways you know

[raugusto2]

You Should Change the name for

"TOP 10 MUSIC RIFFS PRODUCED"

For Me Dragonforce is NEW Metal

FOR ME

[linkinman48]

at 2:00 what is that. i recognize it but i can't put the name to it right now. what atreyu song is that?

[jfowler88]

@linkinman48

Bleeding Mascara

[METALFREAK03]

mallcore best riffs maybe. I know their are newbs in metal but you need to go back to the seventies to get the very best riffs. Now its just chewed , re-used shit that is 'faster' and more 'produced' than the ones that came along at first. :) Nice list though. I was into this sort of metal when i first started, then i got into death and thrash metal subgenres and i was fixated. Good riffs there to.

[ThrashMetalRiffs]

Check out my channel for over 40 Top 10 Thrash Compilations. It was hard enough doing a Top 10 for thrash never mind a Top 10 for any genre. Well done! Some very nice Riffs here though. Great vid

[Jackie00100]

What is the real first riff in the intro? im sure i have heard it before

[jaagup117]

no Maiden?

[MultiBlahblahblah3]

ik this is just ur opinion, but ur opinion sucks :P

Especially for mentioning *shutters* .........dragonforce

[mossbergman590]

@MultiBlahblahblah3 Dude, they speed up they're riffs and solos so they can try to sound like the best guitarists ever. I don't know about you but to me thats just FAKE and UNTALENTED!!!

[MultiBlahblahblah3]

@mossbergman590 uhm yea, ik.

i hate that band lol

[mossbergman590]

@MultiBlahblahblah3 lol

[mossbergman590]

dragonforce is FAKE!.... they speed it up in recording studios.

[jebbediah1]

@mossbergman590 and they have like 5 guitarists

[mossbergman590]

@jebbediah1 hahaha... that shows how untalented they are.

[jebbediah1]

@mossbergman590 pretty much

"dude, play this note that is supposed to go half a second after this one for me"

[mossbergman590]

@jebbediah1 hahahaha.... yeaaa those guys suck!

[jebbediah1]

@mossbergman590 most definatly, very little talent

[mmadden94]

That Dragonforce song sounds just like "Through The Fire, And Flames", or is it the other way around?

[georgethetraceur]

i stopped watching the video after seeing dragon force on the list "/

[hugobear1]

[ashcoop17]

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

[SilentMassacree]

[ownbeef]

@SilentMassacree are you stupid? ofc Dragonforce is metal, it is speed metal

[runnerdude5000]

@ownbeef Dragonforce is power metal, but pretty much the same thing. :P

[iBangRainbows]

Dragonforce is fake they speed up their "music" in their studio so they shouldn't be on here....jus sayin

[MrYungsan]

@iBangRainbows how the hell would they play it live then u dumb ass, ive been to a few of theyre concerts

[JaoAssy]

a7x \m/ r.i.p jimmy

[1Godiseverything1]

Actually the most riffs that you have added are solo-riffs and no a repeating riff . . . . but yea why not, their good :)

[frenchiekyle]

You are an ignorant LOSER! You spelled loser wrong dumb ass.

[LBJstevenash13]

all these bands suck balls.all posers.real metal is MEtallica Slayer MEgadeth Sodom, kreator.this is just shit.KILL THE EMOS btw

[loghen01]

Typical idiot who thinks ''Metal'' is a religion...

[clichyx]

good riffs man I liked them but I think there are some better riffs

[tinytrumpet]

It's really hard to read the text.

[datniggatrammell]

the dragonforce song is taken from flash of the blade by maiden.. i think u got some good ones but u missed some GREAT ONES

[deanrocks1]

which isthe song at the beggining fuck I know it but i JUST DONT REMEMBER WHOS IS IT OR THE NAME

[666MetalMatt]

Almost puked when i saw dragonfroce and a7x.

Needled 24/7 was the best on the list imo.

Try checking out some nevermore man.

[Kyller54]

who are all these bands? i wish whoever made the vid put it in font i could read lol

[MikeyELITE117]

There should've been Chimaira-Resurrection, As i Lay Dying- The Sound of Truth, AND PANTERA! Why was there no Pantera?

[666MetalMatt]

Tbh dimebag=overrated

[AuralOverdose]

1.Metallica:One (Darkness Riff) 2.Metallica: Master of Puppets (Pre-Verse) 3.Disturbed: Down With The Sickness (Main Riff) 4.Black Sabbath: Paranoid 5.Black Sabbath: Iron Man 6.Ozzy Osbourne: Crazy Train 7.Avenged Sevenfold: Critical Acclaim 8.Megadeth: Symphony of Destruction 9.Metallica: Wherever I May Roam 10.Children of Bodom: Angels Don't Kill This list isn't exactly in a justified order. I probably should have included some Led Zeppelin, some GnR, and some Pantera or Van Halen.

[livein8mile]

He said the past 10 years

[AuralOverdose]

Those were my all time favorites.

[THEGSPOT0394]

dude it doesnt matter the list is endless

[PheonixSeth]

Dragonforce...Atreyu???

wat about ..

Devil Driver, Pantera, Trivium, Megadeth, Black label society, In Flames or some Metallica??? or Killswitch.

[MrYungsan]

@PheonixSeth well y dont u make your own list and put them on there , this is his favorites not yours

[OXCerberusX0]

@PheonixSeth because its proberbly some kid that knows very little about metal. what about dream theater and strapping young lad?? or old school black sabbeth.

[ballbouncer123]

@OXCerberusX0 uuummm actually the reason its new look at the description its in the last 10 years so most of the bls and pantera stuff wasnt in 2000

[666wrathofheaven666]

@PheonixSeth Pantera's good stuff was in the 90's lol

[asdfghjkl4099]

@PheonixSeth i agree Dragonforce is a fakeass band. but Atreyu is amazing bro.

[xNoctis3]

@PheonixSeth

I agree 100% with your comment except the Atreyu part.

I love Atreyu!

But yes, Killswitch, Trivium, and Metallica all the wayy.

[kougarsmvp4]

this is gay weak ass metal and these riffs fucking blow TRIVIUM kicks all of these fuckers asses

[PheonixSeth]

im only 1:14 in and ur saying theres no trivium WTF YA GOTTA HAVE TRIVIUM!!!

[paie2007]

Hmmm, the riff from Dead World sounds a bit like Downfall from COB.

[killazelda]

Try some Doom Metal for Epic Riffs. Try Electric wizard

[ASHBYHAYNES]

Dragonforce...Atreyu...Avenged Sevenfold???

how about some....

Slayer, Pantera, Sodom, Megadeth, Kreator, Vader, Alice In Chains, Death, or some pre-black album Metallica???

[metalshock360]

great video

[axelsunnyaxel]

downhatgym what you on about name better

[Jordanher]

ok ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Bassbait]

One thing to say:

Spirit Crusher by Death is supposed to be on here. Why? Unholy Confessions is a Blatant rip off. I won't say much more. Just listen to about the 2 minute mark on Spirit Crusher, and hopefully you will find the greatest riff ever composed, which is far superior to A7x's.

[DownhatGym]

Wth this is nu metal / rock grow up man this sucks

[biometal770]

@DownhatGym CoB is nu metal/rock? I hate subgenre douchebags

[volaverutarja]

atreyu? dragonforce? avenged sevenfold?

how old are you? 12?

POSER

[davishon1234]

Do u want to know how to identify a poser...

just look at ur comment

what posers do is belive that they´re true metal fans and the only thing they do is critizice the other people tastes so fuck you!!!

BTW A7x rocks!!!

[Snomi16]

well said...hes a douchebag who doesnt understand that other people have different opinions

[killazelda]

Actually, A poser is a person who thinks they are a true member of the subculture, but lack the authenticity and sincerity.

If one has no right,( or would be directly labeled as a poser, hater etc.,) to criticize (others), that means we have no freedom of speech, Thus you'd be a poser as well, because you critiize the critics.

And i agree with that DF, Atreyu and A7x shouldn't be in the list, but it's his opinion.

I'd put in some, Doom metal bands, Death, Metallica, Pantera, Chimaira.

[davishon1234]

Why not???

maybe Atreyu and DF Shouldnt be in the list

but a7x has really great riffs and solos!!!

btw im not a poser becouse I really enjoy the music

[killazelda]

Hmm, I just dislike a lot of American music, including A7X. A7X's riffs are nothing compared to Electric Wizard's riffs and i find A7X just a very overrated band to be true, but what is, can't be changed. Btw speaking about the poser-issue and how you are/aren't a poser, gives a person the ideas that you actually are one...But enough about posers and all that crap. I just don't find A7X worthy to be in a top 10 best riffs.

[AuralOverdose]

@killazelda I have to agree with all but A7X. They have some pretty heavy shit that just doesn't get any play. No disrespect.

[mayoarm11]

I don't really understand what that means. Are you saying their songs aren't good instrumentally? If so, I strongly disagree.

[AuralOverdose]

They don't get any radio play, so no one knows about the songs.

[mayoarm11]

they get enough exposure though...

[gingerfuntime]

@davishon1234 u hav good taste my friend.

[HeartofObsidian]

I don't agree with number 1

[iziarraputegui]

Dragonshit no :(

[DylanMan6]

Very Great Riffs But Dragonforce wtf?

[cky283]

nice top riffs man, your opinion of course so i can't say anything?

some bands i really hate on there, but you had some good ones to make up for it

better than making a fallout boy fan video

KEEP IT METAL

(minus atreyu and a7x)

you seem to like power metal, check out blind guardian

[Koffarn]

Gayeest fucking list ever. Not a single one of these riffs would even be in my top 100 list.

[FrankTheTank23517]

good except for ax7 and dragon force

[xAcidPrisimx]

@FrankTheTank23517 A7X > Gay emo fucking shit. Im 15. Atreyu sucks my dick for coke, Not gonna lie. A7X isnt really wjat you would call metal...

[nikolacar07]

good list but bad quality

[SirJamestheIII]

street lethal by racer x would pwn all of these but domination is good too

[cky283]

YES! its rare you see anybody bring up racer x when it comes to great bands

[dragonforce123987]

despite my name being dragonforce ( only put it there coz at the time i was obsessed with playing it on guitar hero haha ) but yeah dragonforce shouldnt be up here because dragonforce dont play music...they forge it and are fakes they speed up their music ..... they cant play shit live so they bring a couple beers out and claim to be drunk to avoid people accusing them of not being able to play their music. fuck them off the world doesnt need em - bodom shits on dragonfoce hands down

[Samfisherofwoe]

get Dragonforce the fuck out of here GET SOME FUCKING PANTERA!!!

[goldwrapper]

There hasn't been any good Pantera riffs in the last 10 years.....The only Album they had this decade was Reinventing the Steel.....and there isn't much to choose from on that album.

[Samfisherofwoe]

well still better stuff off it than this crap

[goldwrapper]

haha.....I can't disagree with that....Dime was the man.....I just thought Reinventing the Steel was so disappointing.

[Samfisherofwoe]

no doubt man sucks that had to be their last album. personally i think the lyrics from most of them werent that good but Revolution was my name had amazing guitar on it and personally liked Ill Cast a Shadow's guitar work real good also

[o00beSt00o]

wut waz the riffs guitar intro u put at the begining ?

it's sooo metal ...and sick !

[Tr1bulation]

Dragonforce? Really?
