That's what I love. Nearly every song starts to repeat from the verse after the solo. So it's like it reaches the absolute limit of riffs before it allows itself to repeat then you get to hear em all again
personally , death is one of the very few band for me where every albums are very good yet different, scream bloody gore, leprosy and spiritual healing are probably my favorites, yes some track in others work are also damn too good
Chuck died on the day that i was born. Same year and everything. Just discovered Death like a week ago. I love it. I feel as if I were destined to one day be fucking addicted to this band. I still do not have a favorite song from them.
Evan Schaefering yeah. So many qualities they have 1.) they evolved their sound and every album is unique 2.) they were able to experiment with their sound without going “soft” 3.) We got to see Chuck grow as a person and guitarist from his talent and lyrics 4.) each album has a unique line up of talented people Also Chuck is my most powerful son. That’s why he’s god, he is the son of SHAGGY and no he didn’t die he ascended to a new dimension
@@stephenhester9804 I think James Murphy was also with Testament and Disincarnate Undoubtedly, way he played could not be unheard.. Great style there 🌟
I got to meet the man in 1995. Hung up stairs at the old Peabody's in Cleveland Ohio for about an hour and a half. Chuck was the most humble man who ever walked the Earth. It's not every day you get to meet your idols and I've been playing guitar ever since I discovered him in 1991. The ultimate riffmaster! I have a signed flyer that I laminated when I got to see him on the symbolic tour. It was truly an unforgettable night, I miss him dearly!!!
"Destiny" was the only official love song Chuck ever wrote for Death (unless someone can prove me wrong!) and it's about his brother who died when they were younger I believe.
Top 5 In my opinion: 5- Defensive Personalities (45) 4- Denial Of Life (30) 3- Evil Dead (48) 2- Mutilation (49) 1- Open Casket (29) Long Life To Metal! ;)
RIP Chuck, that band that got me into extreme metal, i'd say the sound of perseverance is one of the greatest albums ever, no other metal band has made me feel things like his riffs and solos
*Mt. Rushmore of metal riff lords* George Washington - Tony Iommi Thomas Jefferson - Dave Mustaine Theodore Roosevelt - Dimebag Darrell Abraham Lincoln - Chuck Schuldiner Obvious honorable mentions - James Hetfield and Steve Harris.
@@papabroly8000 You're talking about Textures? THE Textures? I've never seen another Textures fan on the internet outside of their videos. Rock the fuck on!
@@Stroopwafels112 "Textures," Cynic's only instrumental track from their seminal 1993 LP, "Focus." But yeah, I listen to one of Textures' songs occasionally (their most popular one, obviously, but at least I know of them). Edit: "Textures'," not "Texture's"
FINALLY!! - believe it or not, this was one of the first videos I wanted to make. it was postponed, for one reason or another. but now it's on - the framerate/lag problems of my videos is the same. even if I've changed my pc. I've found out that is my video editor's fault. I can see everything perfect in the preview, but the export is choppy and laggy. I've tried everything, spent too much time to fix it and nothing worked. so, fuck off - the video of story to tell's lead guitar was completely lost ... whatever - of course will be typing errors or stuff like that, as always. no matter how many times I recheck the video - L is dead
Really digging how you set these up, almost blending them into each other. That's what I love about chucks playing, each song feels truly unique. Each has its own story to tell. I'm glad I was born in a time where I was able to listen to this man's music. No disrespect to the other members in the band but Chuck was Death. Truly a philosopher. Rest in peace! I'll make sure to keep the memory alive \m/
I guess it's a good thing that Andrea didn't put the closing riff from Perennial Quest in the video after all. Because otherwise there would have been floods all across the world on the day of the video's release
I was quite disappointed by the shortage of some of my favorite riffs, but then I remembered there are simply too many outstanding Death riffs. Great video
@@biohazard8295 whatttttt? Been into metal for almost 30 yrs, along with all different genres - psybient, atmospheric, downtempo to Up - you name it! I could still sleep like a baby listening to metal.. I dunno how but yeappp.. It's the riffs that sound like lullaby or tht I know instruments too well to observe, so absorption is not really an issue here
@@quentinorsoni The right hand is impressive, yes, but by practising riffs faster and faster you can easily work up the stamina to play that fast, or faster, in less than a year. The left? Not so much.
I keep coming back to this video just to feel the passion that you put into the work of Chuck and this video is the ultimate Tribute to Chuck Schuldiner and Death! Love this channel!
Haven't listened to Death in a while and this just reinvigorated my desire to give their discography another listen. Truly one of the best bands to experience growing as years went by. The difference between their first albums and the last ones is so visible that one cannot hide the excitement of what joy it is to listen a band constantly develop (well, Chuck was Death). Cheers for doing this.
50 OPETH RIFFS. Will give you the opportunity to mess with acoustic guitars, odd turnings, strange time signatures, etc. Should be challenging but fun. Love your work dude. You inspired me to buy a SG. (Epiphone...still solid. You rock dude. Keep riffing, keep shredding.
I'm sort of ashamed to admit this but at 53 I JUST recently discovered Death and the late, great maestro Chuck Schuldiner. I guess better late than never huh? Of course I just FINALLY embraced death metal and it's many iterations and now I proudly jam Carcass/Dark Tranquility/ Insomnium/Be'lakor/ Mors Principium Est/Allegaeon et al. Once I learned to tolerate the "harsh" vocals the sky is the limit. But undoubtedly Carcass and Death are featured heavily in my playlist. RIP Chuck. Awesome job as always ABB! 💯🤘
Killer video man!! Death rules!! Chuck schuldiner was a metal genius.. definitely one of the best metal song writers in the world hands down.. every single album that came out of Chuck and death was a straight death metal masterpiece! And still to this day it stands tall with everything that's out there period.. so many killer tunes on those albums.. zero tolerance and crystal mountain and spiritual healing are 3 of my all time favorites.. just amazing songs man.. you should do 50 dark angel riffs bro.. or gorguts.. luc Lemay is another metal genius.. you should definitely do some gorguts man.. ppl would shit.. their riffs are fuckin crazy good.. anyway, thanks for sharing your stuff bro.. cheers!
I saw a dude in walmart wearing a Death shirt (there are very few metalheads in tennessee where I live) and so of course I complimented him, and his whole face just lit up and he was like "whoa!! You know these guys?? That's a first!!"
Chuck was ahead even in the late 80s, dude was so talented, still my favorite guitarist today. A real shame that he was gone so early and would have had way more in the tank musically
What makes Death so awesome is how the songwriting and sound evolved throughout the years. And they were all awesome! How Chuck was able to envision what sound he wanted, and aligned top notch musicians to create his vision or sound. All that said...Symbolic is my favorite.
I love the fact you put these "50 riff " videos up. It gets people into different bands and honestly you're is one of the channels I recommend for starting off metalheads
Amazing man! One of the best performances of Death that I've ever seen . Personally, I'd love to listen Vacant Planet's riff and Perennial Quest's outro.
Great choice of riffs and great execution. The start with 'The Flesh And The Power It Holds' instantly gave me chills, what a masterpiece. And then I kept getting chills throughout the video. You've earned a new subscriber, man. Thank you for this \m/
I felt the same way, however when he jumped from 2nd riff to actually 4th one in the song I felt betrayed. For real that missing part gives me orgasmic feeling.
Haha, I felt exactly the same, but I didn't want to nitpick xD He probably just didn't want to choose too many from one song, I guess that's why he skipped it.
Uh, it's hard to decide. The 2nd one is the build-up for the missing one which culminates into the 4th one (no. 3 here), so I don't know, leaving any of them feels kinda weird. Not sure what I'd do tbh. To be fair, there were more riffs I kind of missed here like the opening riff of 'Bite The Pain', the 2nd riff of 'Empty Words', 'Voice of The Soul', but then again, I wouldn't take any of the riffs included here out either. I guess it just shows what a great band Death is, even picking 50 riffs is too hard :D
Death is probably my all time favorite band, along with other greats such as Megadeth, Sodom, Kreator, and Demon Hunter. I always loved the superb musicianship of Chuck Schuldiner (May he rest in piece), as he is basically the Mozart of Metal. I always liked the Egyptian-esque solos in some of Death's songs, as well as their complexity. It always makes me sad to see how overlooked Death can be though, they deserve a lot more attention.
"Flesh and the power it holds" will forever be one of my favorite songs from Death Along with "Voice of the Soul" and their cover of Judas Priest's "Painkiller"
