@@blastradius7193 Musicianship. Death is boring. I can't bear to listen to them. They might be inferential in a way but man...they had nothing on Possessed, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Bathory, Morbid Angel, and so many other bands. Idk...I just don't get how people are enamored with Death. I listened to them over and over trying to understand but they are just boring.
luciferdzhugashvili The evil sounding riffs Hanneman wrote were undoubtedly a heavy inspiration for DM. There’s a fine line between the evil Thrash of Slayer and DM.
Completely random..but has any one heard of Morta Skuld?...I was just listening to their album dying remains..sick riffs and the lead guitarist has alot of melodic solos..just trying to put the album out their bcuz I swear no one talks about that band..the album came out in 93..it would be cool to see some of their content on this channel
The riff-Smith...absolutely love what you do mate! Excellent vid, you got me easy learning classics like 'eyemaster' and '...for victory', just my generation, now purchased the old riot drums and beyond, thanks dude! Classic death/black metal; good taste
3:27 "Regurgitated guts" by Death is one of my favourite death metal songs. The best part is the brutal melodic ending song riff (last 20 seconds). Iconic for me. I just close my eyes and see bloody undead massacre.
Becks is one of the best beers there are if you don't count the small breweries (craft). Beats the hell ouf of Heineken (still good) but not from Carlsberg (althought from the same brewery).
Those drum sounds are on point, I really like them. First time in FOREVER where I felt like those were live drums and not something like EZ drummer or whatever where everything sounds so 'tight' and 'polished'. Going to get that kvlt soon (as money permits lol, we all hosed up the ass with a giant pineapple).
Nice selection here, although I missed Dismember of course, since they're in the thumbnail 😉 "Spiritual Healing" is definitely one of my favourite Death songs, but you should have played the riff after the intro tapping as well 😊
Simon If you're reading this then I just wanna let you know that thank you so much for selecting these riffs. I always wanted you to play "Slowly We Rot" and "Sacrificial Suicide".I'm glad you did.
I wish I had a neighbour like you. +1 for all of them. Great riffs. Slowly we rot was the first death metal I learned to play, when I got tired of playing Metallica-stuff. [footnote for young people: Metallica was a trash metal band that mysteriously disappeared in 1991]
Man, i just love Benediction. Was my first DM Band back in '93. My first 3 DM albums were the first 3 from Benediction. My dad was cool enough to buy them for me, but i always had to listen to them via headphones.
Celtic Frost -To Mega Therion- should've been included in your '85 montage. An essential album which influenced not only the Death Metal genre overall, but many future musicians to come
Anyone else have a riff they enjoy playing wrong? Wait don't shoot! I mean you learned the tabs without ever hearing the song. But you still enjoy the way you play it, maybe just because it's muscle memory at this point. I remember learning Suffer the Children wrong out of a magazine 25 years ago. It was the second tune to Slayer or Sepultura or something heavy. Anyway, my 14yr old dumbass never heard the song before but tried to figure out the tab anyway. Thought I had it half-figured out and liked shredding away with it. Ten years later I was mortified when I actually heard it the first time! I could recognize the chord order but my chugging was all over the place like it was my first wank after a week of church. I figured nobody ever recognized the song because they'd never heard it either, right? lmao. Hickville pre-internet suuucked. I still play it my dumbass way as a warm-up now and then. Thanks for reminding me of that Simon, great vid/list man. Cheers.
This gets a thumbs-up from me just because of the inclusion of Necrophagia and Nocturnus. People are always arguing over whether Seven Churches or Scream Bloody Gore is the first death metal album, but Scream Bloody Gore, classic though it is, should not even be in the running, as Season of the Dead beat it by a couple of months, so it really should be Seven Churches vs Season of the Dead.
Metal isn't normally my thing, I'm more of a pansy-indie-prog-psyche-rock-popper-genre-hopper (yeah?), and I couldn't tell you the differences between thrash, death, doom, black or whatever, (which is one reason I clicked on here)... but anyway, your vid melted my face right off, so job done, I guess!
@@Assimilator702 don't misunderstand, I could always hear the difference between, for example, Cannibal Corpse and Mudhoney! It was more that I get a bit lost differentiating between the multitude of metal sub-genres and wanted to have more of a handle on that.
squareeyedgit I get it. Just adding a bit of humor. It can be confusing but there are differences and the people that would rather call it all Metal and not divide it up into sub genres are the ones that truely don’t get it. Melodic Death has almost nothing in common with Black Metal or say Symphonic Metal for example.
Good job man . Tbh I never thought of myself as a death metal person but I like some songs from some bands like death and obituary but as I heard your selection I realized I know a lot of those riffs so I guess I'm a big fan of death metal I just didn't realized it before hahaha
Thanks for the introduction to death metal... dunno too much about it, always listened to crust and from recent crust bands I got into they cited black metal as a major influence. So from there I recently got into black metal and know just the basics and have a handful of favorites... only bands I listen too that can be considered death metal are Napalm Death and Before God
very difficult and a that will be have a lot of comments like "why is not (your favourite band) there???" "why is not (your favourite genre) there???" of course bands and genres very underground and with no real repercusion in heavy metal history...
Awesome video, please continue, for death, black, make top for different bands or genre of metal etc, it's so cool. What tuning did you use with the PRS Custom 22?
