my top 10 heavy guitar riffs

[StanwoodSpartans]

i dont care about riffs, its all about that guitars tone.

10-52 ernie ball strings + ENGL fireball + ENGL 4x12 = heavyest guitar tone in the world IMO

boogie amps can suck a dick, but boogie tubes and amazing quality.

[DrunkerJo]

VAMPIRES - GODSMACK! HELL YEAH, BUDDY!!

[3441Edward]

Good list but i personally think you could have added sevendust :P

[SatanLovesMetal]

Pantera?

[BraveMavrick]

nice picks, thumbs up for periphery!

[sd0453]

These are good. Like you said, it all depends on your own personal taste. It sounds like you consider heavy to be well-produced, thick, chugging riffs. And Periphery do that exactly!

[DROPIt7]

@sd0453 yes, you've got me! ;-)

Metallica- The Thing That Should Not Be is the heaviest song period

[RylaDarkstar]

i was expecting heavy riffs

[tvlguy24]

Immortally insane by Pantera is the heaviest riff ever.

[pivotgodxd]

Dude, where is Pantera? The heaviest band ever D:

[theanaconda666]

PERIPHERY ARE FUCKING AMAZING

[chandyanand]

maybe murder song by scum of the earth?

[77Fortran]

I recommend something off City by Strapping Young Lad- on a good stereo it feels like being destroyed by a huge machine!

[jrnaudi]

Creed AND Alter Bridge...nice :) 

[sadqwf]

This is so lame. Pantera/Machine Head/Maiden/Metallica/Anthrax/­Slayer/Lamb of God/Megadeth/Disturbed/Testame­nt/Metal Church?

[DROPIt7]

@sadqwf if you were looking for these bands you had to look for "the fastest riffs" or "thrash metal riffs"...

i like these bands too, but a heavy riff is IMO a low-tuned, slow, mighty riff...

but like i said in the discription it's all a matter of taste,

so don't piss me off and go watching videos you like!

[hssn0903]

@DROPIt7 what are you talking about ?

those bands have loads of heavy riffs...

[adtrrocks1231]

@DROPIt7 nah man listen to almost anything on the black album by metallica those are heavier than most of these listen to almost everything pantera, and most lamb of god riffs are 10x heavier than this so are alot of Disturbed riffs and alot of Slipknot riffs and most of that stuff is slower and groovy

[sadqwf]

This is so lame. Pantera/Machine Head/Maiden/Metallica/Anthrax/­Slayer/Lamb of God/Megadeth/Disturbed?

[iLikechevelle]

[turbidhat]
