12 ICONIC Death Metal Riffs

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I was straight playing wrong the second part in "Pull the Plug".

[@spicymeatballs2thespicening]

respect for pointing it out yourself, great job otherwise lol 🍝

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@spicymeatballs2thespicening thanks! I gotta stay honest with myself. Gonna play it again in a future video fairly soon anyways, so I’ll make up for my mistake there.

[@eduardoborges5458]

@@jojoplaysmusic Your playing is amazing bruh, your repertoire is insane. Are you self-taught?

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@eduardoborges5458 thank you so much! I did get some lessons to learn the basics, but I’ve taught myself most of the techniques I use on a regular basis.

[@47279J]

Real nice. Death metal is such a nice genre, so much great music. Great work.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you so much. That’s why I do so many death metal videos, there’s just so much good stuff.

[@MiniulekJr]

Deicide is my favourite Christian gospel band of all the time.

[@DoggoWillink]

Aeon is my favorite personally.

[@johnwaynegacy4904]

Annihilation of the Wicked t shirt 🤘 nice skills bro

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thanks man! And yes! My favorite Nile album!

[@brianhunt4335]

Second that! Annihilation of the Wicked blew my mind when I first heard it, I must have been 14 or 15. Still a top 5 for me 15 years later.

[@raptorrsr5817]

recently discovered cryptopsy on my 17th birthday, favourite death metal band for the foreseeable future

[@jojoplaysmusic]

They were my favorite band for a long time :)

[@Jj06950]

Aw nice bro I’m 18 and Death is probably my favorite DM band

[@stevenstimac3323]

NOICE pick with the Phobophile. Amazing riff and well played!

[@tomaszorlik5232]

Immolation's riff is taken from their song "Into Everlasting Fire" (not "Burial Ground").

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Yeah I realized that like a month and a half after. I was listening to Dawn of Possession in it’s entirety, and I was like “wait, this is not Burial Ground :y”

[@quentinuzman8564]

I’m 90% sure that the second part of pull the plug was played wrong. Other than that: killer playing- killer riffs.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I’m 100% sure I played it wrong, but I’d rather play it again correctly in another video than take this one down.

[@Kaas_is_Baas]

It's a remix 😉

[@broncoxy]

that phobophile riff is just legendary... _and a great way to get carpal tunnel :))_

[@FLAMETHROWER299]

I say slayer and kreator are the best starters fir getting into death metal, even though they're thrash, they did lead the way for the birth of death metal

[@rustinpieces]

I'm SO gonna listen to MA tonight... ...great effort young man! As mentioned earlier, you're too young to have witnessed the rise of DM in the late '80's - and musically, back then being in my early '20's, this was an ear-opener to me like few other genres.

[@diabsoul]

Props to Phobophile Canadian Legends!!! Post the breakdown that follows the riff you played after you give that picking arm a breather!

[@ryancarthen2198]

When i saw the name of the vid hammer smashed face was the first song i thought of.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Of course

[@abysswalker1111]

Great video!! Kinda surpassing that you have a Nile shirt but no Nile riffs😅

[@jojoplaysmusic]

That guitar is the one I use for doing a lot of tunings, and I’m not running the thickest of strings. I feel like if I attempted Nile on it, it would probably die on me while sounding like slushy spaghetti. Also I’m a weenie and Nile riffs scare me 🐒

[@ryancarthen2198]

Nile has some good unique riffs but i wouldnt call anything they have made iconic.
