My Top 15 HEAVY Riffs

I see these kinds of lists all the time on YouTube - Top 10 Breakdowns, Top 12 Drum Solos, Top 15 Metal Bands, Top 10 Ways to Cook Down Sausage, Top 5 Ways to Say "No" to Your Gerbil, etc. - all kinds of arbitrary top ## lists, fraught with egregious spelling and grammar errors, that are really just a way for people to say "Hey, everyone! My opinion is so cool that I think you should hear it!"

Well, now it's my turn to make one of these and expect everyone to watch 6+ minutes of purely subjective material! I decided to compile a list of my top 10 heaviest, sickest, nastiest, grooviest, face-meltingest, mind-numbingest, awesomest, head-bangingest riffs, but found that there were at least 5 mind-numbingly face-melting riffs that wouldn't make the list; I couldn't just leave them off, so I upped the number to 15!

I hope you enjoy the video, and I hope your face is melted by the end! \m/

so exellent!!! i love it all :D but the riff in Inferno, by symphony x, is better to my, just my

opinion

@alevd14

I do like the Inferno riff, as Michael Romeo is one of the best guitarists out there - however, I don't consider it to be all that "heavy." Thanks for commenting!

next time you should include "Resurrection" by Chimaira. The first 30 seconds are so awesome. by the way, good job on this playlist and THANK YOU for introducing me to Brainstorm.

@Giovannino357

Thanks! I forgot how I came across Brainstorm...I've never known anyone else who has even heard of them, but they have some pretty awesome stuff. Another one of theirs that I really like is "Arena."

[SnareSpectre]

@dlikor

...is not on this list. They will never be on a list like this for me, despite all the people who have come on here saying what you just said. :)

[lpcrush]

No disrespect man, just talking metal to another metalhead, but no Electric Wizard? No Lamb of God? No Pantera? C'mon man!

@XxYamiHiroshixX

Highly unnecessary.

[KnighferDK]

Dude! In The Name of God is my favorite song! I might not know so many of the other ones, you put on the list, but i sure do love your taste for ITNoG! :D

[SebastiaanLP670]

@dlikor

i was expecting something havier like: Textures- Sun´s architect, some hatebreed´s awsome guitar riffs, mudvayne, rammstein-ich tu... if you know some badass intros like those ones please tell me.

[Jcnukestar4821]

@SnareSpectre ty for putting these songs up from some bands i never heard of

[camelont688]

I like the description. The video is cool too. :P

[amithabajan2]

Good list, but I love how you have creed here, but not any mastodon. The intro riff of march of the fire ants will blow your mind.

[aToOoOoMboi]

Soulfly - Jump the f. up. Korn - Here to stay. Mudvayne - Internal primates forever.
