10 Iconic Metal Riffs Played by 10 Guitarists You Know

[@steveort2105]

John Petrucci is made completely of hair at this point

[@Userlefty]

😂

[@fingershol1673]

Don't be jealous of another man's hair

[@smaque666]

And tons od hair dye

[@cocky_potato]

His massive forehead has entered the chat.

[@TranceSFX]

I invested in some real estate on his forehead. Great returns actually

[@deadguyale6665]

The Pantera riff on the Hello Kitty acoustic is off the charts!

[@thrashnicity5913]

That riff from into the void is ridiculous

[@shacozzi4888]

best stoner riff of all time

[@QVAlfista]

Over 53 years old and this riff still breaks bones then when Geezer's bass kicks in the groove pulverizes the broken bones into dust! Iommi is THE Riffmeister!

[@jeffbriggs3226]

Opening rift The Trooper feels like "you're in the horse's mind". THAT, is precisely how it makes me feel!!!🤘😎🤘

[@kaioregattieri6892]

Into the Void is the greatest riff in history of music!!!

[@zaynes5094]

@kaioregattieri6892 It is up there with anything Metallica, I always go to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Iron Man. Supernaut was also a favorite of John Bonham.

[@grogu1986]

Satchel the GOAT 😂❤ love seeing so many legends talking about other metal gods

[@jordanforbes149]

I feel like Matt Pike was only gonna play the intro riff and then just kinda got lost

[@nicolasbertin8552]

He simply could not not play it, it's like when you can't cut off a song, you have to listen to the rest;

[@peachmelba1000]

The guitar solo on NOTB was the first time lead guitar blew my mind. It set me on my path to becoming completely obsessed with all things guitar. It's been a fun journey.

[@josearalat]

I know Satchel is supposed to be funny but the guy can play with the best of them.

[@infinidominion]

Shoutout to that palm muted/open riff in Old Mans Child's The Last Chapter. Its my Master of Puppets, not in a down picked way, but because if you practice it, you can develop awesome palm muting alternating with open power chords

[@nicolasbertin8552]

I was always a techno/electronic music guy until my 20s. But then something clicked when I heard Neurosis. Hearing riffs from The Doorway, Times of Grace or Sovereign, jesus... My brother listened to some Iron Maiden and I just didn't connect. It was too happy and ridiculous for my taste at the time. But Neurosis got me into metal, then since it was the south of France in the early 2000s, Gojira was touring all the time here, and then other bands like Nostromo, Samael, Psykup, Cult of Luna, Jesu, Isis... My main jam stayed the heavy and slow. Sleep, Electric Wizard...

[@F355]

8:10 same with a lot of metalheads I guess, there is that 1 defining moment where we felt: I don't know what this music is but I'll listen to this for the rest of my life.

[@-Leonelli-]

Myles Kennedy is just Kevin Bacon with a wig and he's fooling nobody

[@iraklismoschonas5214]

He’s a combination of Kevin Bacon, Jared Leto and Jim Carrey! 😂

[@zigsrig]

Always great to hear a guy bashing out the Trooper on a Tele!

[@jordanforbes149]

It’s vindicating to hear Tobias Forge say he can’t play master of puppets with all downstrokes because I can’t either.

[@los_blancos4499]

Well he's not an amazing guitarist, but playing MOP from straight to finish with downstroking is a hell of a task, he's right about that

[@jsz2619]

@@los_blancos4499 I can't play it either with downstrokes only. It is pretty challenging alright. Oh, wait! I can't play any instruments. Ok, never mind.

[@jdmensing]

@@jsz2619 LOL - nice one

[@pdxpete48]

I can remember hearing the Cradle will rock form Van Halen, that, and Parasite from Kiss and Diary of a Madman it made me want to play guitar for sure.

[@Lucarbarbarosa]

4:40 he is the mix of jim carrey and kurt cobain

[@Matzahfiend]

I was gonna say Jared Leto's brother, Dared Leto.

[@maddoxmay611]

Lots of stuff beat it. Painkiller is a great example

[@EL_DUDERIN0]

Does the Steel Panther dude keep the plastic on his neck pickup for toan??

[@joshuaprietophoto]

The ingenuity of those early Black Sabbath albums probably had more influence on guitar based music than anyone else all of metal, all of rock, all of punk in some way was at least partly influenced by that sound and those riffs lots of other goodies too

[@muttonmark]

Must be a Matt Pike stand-in, cuz he’s wearing a shirt

[@warmothgmc]

Lol. He always has a shirt on when I bump into him in the neighborhood at a local watering hole 😂. He’s actually a really cool dude.

[@laynefuller]

​@@warmothgmcyeah at the watering hole, I've heard many reports of him chilling on his porch no shirt tho.

[@ronaldbrasseur9327]

Iommi cut his fingers at a factory he worked at

[@Friendroid]

deliberately, so he could become the ultimate riff lord

[@doctorsacred]

A bagel factory!

[@Gangster2God]

The hello kitty guitar, just had me spit out my drink! LMFAO

[@cihan4889]

It doesn't surprise me that most guitarists are influenced by Tony Iommi. Iommi: the man who created heavy metal.

John 5 and not a single telecaster in sight. WHAT?

[@Bigrailindad333]

Because he’s playing a character who’s an idiot

Both are good at rambling incoherently. Satchel is funny, though.

[@kevinallcock5927]

6 mins in.. the Sabbath bit was awful sadly

[@VanDerLaars]

Yeah, like not wasting too much brainpower into coming up with the riff, and also the riff itself being quite simple.

How come none of these "metalheads" (with all due respect to Petrucci) never mention the sick riffs from Metal Church, Candlemass, Armored Saint, Mercyful Fate / King Diamond, DIO and quite a few others?!

[@leob4403]

Most of those bands aren't any good

[@CapOlimar]

Because everyone has different tastes, just my guess.

Probably because all the bands you listed minus Dio are at least somewhat obscure.
