50 guns n roses riffs please!!

[@euskalduntitou]

Nice vid man, almost as huge as the rammstein one ! Shoulda play more last album's riffs, there are some killers Btw what's the guitar your using please ?

[@sodablower]

Nice one. Any chance of a Mastodon one? SOOOOO many great riffs to choose from! 😀😃😀

[@deanoneill5364]

Sir, which is your favourite? Well done! 👏👏

The fact that Tony Iommi was tuning down to C# in the 70's is something that amazes me

[@kakkashi21999]

He only did because he injured his fingers and tuning down meant he had to apply less pressure to the fretboard.

[@PenguinzFTW]

@@kakkashi21999 yeah I know. He lost some fingers in an accident he had whilst working. But in a time where 99% of guitar players all tuned to E Standard, Tony's tone really stood out amongst the crowd because of the difference in sound he was getting

[@Mr1Tanker]

@@kakkashi21999 Yeah, a happy coincidence

[@gredangeo]

However, I see a number of bass tabs essentially in Standard tuning. Geezer Butler didn't take advantage of that low end, it seems.

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

@@gredangeo the bass tabs must be wrong if it's in standard tuning, well just tink in C# standard and you're okay for nearly everything from Masters of Reality to Sabotage.

[@bretmorris830]

Into The Void never gets old. That riff was so ahead of its time.

[@siberianprince8110]

The cover by Exhorder proves it very clear

[@guitarzan2979]

I think that’s my all time favorite. I used to listen to that in my VW Bug in the early eighties and it’s also the first Tony Iommi riff I learned to play on guitar.

[@TheFanboyHater]

I mean it's a variation on Grieg's in the hall of mountain king, so is it really ahead of it's time?

[@maksphoto78]

@@TheFanboyHater Grieg was ahead of his time. Ask Apocalyptica.

[@Roberto-nn6kb]

@@TheFanboyHater not really, maybe a bit similar

[@ollytherevenant1653]

Tony Iommi is a legend. His solos were always great and idiosyncratic to him but what made him stand out was just pumping out constant powerful and catchy riffs. A national acrobat, sweet leaf, and hand of doom are my faves!

[@redol__]

Almost the same bro

[@guitarzan2979]

Listen to his solo in the studio version of “Slipping Away”. It’s short but hard and then Geezer resolves it perfectly. I really dig the way they perfectly blend tension and resolve. It’s very short but one of my all time favorites. I saw Tony Iommi on “That Metal Show”, years ago and he spoke of all the riffs he’s got in his head that he hasn’t laid down yet.

[@Erlkonig4285]

children of the grave has such a legendary riff, love that song to death.

[@NetMoverSitan]

It was used in Brutal Legend for a key moment in the game.

[@scifiordie]

A pop band stole it and made a fortune with it

[@GeraldoGuitarrinha]

​@@scifiordie which?

[@atvena]

Sounds like blondie's Call me and kiss Detroit rock City had a baby

[@skrillah6259]

One of the riffs written by Geezer aswell

[@Malum09]

the bad thing about hearing an Iommi riff is that you want to hear the whole song.

[@durge12]

or you're listening to something like fairies wear boots and you're like "which one?" because there's like 5 riffs before the lyrics even come in :D

[@gaffer2602]

​@@AscendWithMeThere's only so much time to listen Tony Iommi in a day. Gotta fit in as many of those riffs as possible

[@lehtokurppa7824]

Riffs perfectly fit the time periods when they were created, but all still have that unmistakable Sabbath sound.

[@chaotik7853]

it proves that Tony Iommi is the person that makes Black Sabbath the band it is, not any singer

[@TylerMcCrackerJacker]

I always love that you always give less popular, underappreciated and overlooked albums and songs the love they deserve

[@yaboyblacklist2431]

I love the fact that you chose several riffs from the Tony Martin era of Sabbath. That era is very underrated, especially Headless Cross

[@twiztidlestat]

Fn PREACH. The Tony Martin era is indeed underrated.

[@LenaVoices]

So true! After Ozzy and Dio, Tong Martin had my favorite voice for Sabbath singers. Nightmare was the first song I heard from that album, and I remember listening to it religiously on vacation on New year's and it just made the whole trip better

[@TheEman590]

I'm glad the albums are now on streaming and remastered. I can finally give them a good listen

[@JackWoodman]

Send this to a friend who never heard of Black Sabbath, but can't spend time for listening all albums

[@MrXenon1994]

What a coincidence. I was just listening to your 50 Led Zeppelin riffs last night. Absolutely incredible, well done. Deep Purple should be next!

Definitely up there

My reaction to anno mundi going into children of the sea "no fucking way!" That was so awesome dude!

[@supernautcensus5689]

It's a shame 'Falling Off the Edge of the World' wasn't on there. IMO the best riff Iommi ever wrote.

[@mattmcgourty7971]

@Josh Tyler you gotta talk about those 3 songs though if you’re talking about sabbath riffs. They’re some of the most memorable, especially paranoid and iron man

[@chaotik7853]

Mob Rules is such a damn good album

[@YuriBobo]

Also no fairies wear boots, ma gawd what a song

@Josh Tyler or he could have simply ignored the terrible seventh star

[@roshko7115]

Black Sabbath have one of the best albums in the metal history, but "Heaven and Hell", "Sabotage", "Master of Reality", Vol 4, "Dehumanizer" and "Headless Cross" are just my favourite Sabbath albums. What a band! Good job with the video! Your playing and your taste are good as always!

[@Hettmar]

Thank you for covering all Sabbath eras! Tony wrote some amazing riffs in the mid-to-late 80s and the 90s

[@TheAdam159]

Naming amazing Tony Iommi riffs, you could be here all week, theyre all amazing. Great video man!

[@alastairk0159]

the seamless transitions between riffs in different keys and tunings is so impressive

[@serjaoguitarreiro2003]

Tantos riffs lendários do criador do Heavy metal. E ainda deixou o melhor riff pro final 🤘

You are the definition of a Guitar Hero bro, amazing video! I enjoyed it!

[@TheAdam159]

Finally. Tony Iommy is the legend! Thanks Ozzy, Dio, Martin!

Dude I've loved Sabbath since I was a kid but I kinda forget just HOW good they are sometimes since they're such a big name and I'm a hipster like that sometimes but fuck me they're amazing

[@debbieathy5204]

Welcome back to the world of old school bad ass metal bands

[@thrashmetalambassador]

Tony Iommi is the Riff Lord by excellence.

[@stfars]

IMHO the riffs of “I” and “Falling from the edge of the World” deserved to be here. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I think that Iced Earth must be next 😉

[@mrbaris0]

yea you're right but we are talking about Black Sabbath there are so much riffs that he can do ep.2 of that video :D adding to your opinion, heavy riff on "nightwing" can be added too.

[@harry170183]

Much appreciate for adding the Tony Martin era riffs. BS is great in it's entirety , but to be honest - this is my favourite Sabbath Era.

[@AxCYeR]

if black sabbath aren't the fathers of metal music i don't know what is ... such dark sounds right after those happy and colourful sixties ...

[@laxmandutt1109]

Tony Iommi-Father of Metal Ozzy-Prince of Darkness

[@SylviusTheMad]

Thanks for including Seventh Star in this. Tony's work on that record was monumental.

[@samowoz5530]

I've been waiting for this video for over a year now.

[@eliasmindreau1637]

Eternal Idol! Got the dark doom atmosphere with the obscure sequence! Loved the Born Again recognition too!

[@MrFrostien]

Amazing job, Im glad you include riffs from their whole discography, a lot of people tend to ignore all the non Ozzy material

Anno Mundi and Headless Cross are two of my favorite Sabbath riffs! Great work!

Tony Iommi, Master of Riffs

[@nothing_face]

i know you couldn't include every riff in the list but both the intro and the chorus riff from Master Of Insanity are one of my favorites. I'd also have included the intro of Shadow Of The Wind. Anyways Great video as always!

Seventh star is actually such an underrated album, Tony's Riffs are awesome

Nice work with this one, i like that you played "Black Sabbath" riff last, just as i expected! Could you do "50 Fear Factory Riffs" sometime in the future?

Again, nice work as always!
