Not all Lamb of God songs are in Drop D.

Jacob Noel could be just me but I dig overlord as well.

Blood of the scribe, the chorus riff is amazing

[@jacopomarazzato841]

One of my favorite is 512

[@bassica5195]

Il signor Tiplanoinculo samd here homie

[@danielhello9558]

Yess I love it because its quite different and the changing of Randy's voice throughout the song.

[@thendarius]

Il signor Tiplanoinculo i Thought the same but it's not drop D, I guess

[@anthonystark9390]

its drop C#

[@kyleolin3566]

Michael Scott Hmmm. I love 512, and my metal guitar is currently tuned to standard D...

[@thegatesofsleep]

Excellent job. Lamb of god has delicious riffs.

[@JenocideDoll]

"Now You've Got Something to Die For", fav Lamb of God song by far, you saved the best for last good sir.

[@JamieSlays]

+Jenocide such a great song!

10 Sylosis riffs that restore faith in standard tuning metal

Aristotle Theo Sylosis is everyone's shit

[@kaiserslacht]

You are wise, my friend.

[@DarraKummitus666]

Opeth - Heir Apparent is a damn heavy ass song that you wouldn't believe that it's in E standard

[@canadianmetalhead5788]

Reading this made me so happy! By far my favourite band!

[@leonardoxveful]

Omg, that killer tone. Awesome video dude, I love LoG :)

[@joshgiesbrecht]

I love the riff from hourglass. One of my favs. Along with the Blood of the scribe chorus riff.

[@skullkrusher4418]

I'm so glad you put pathetic on this list. I think that's a severely underrated lamb of god song. It's such a great riff!

[@InteractionImplants]

"The Faded Line" has my favorite LOG riff.

[@orcslayer258]

You should look into this thing called palm muting, particularly for hourglass lol

[@thomaslasater3288]

I'd love to hear ya dig into Ammon Amarth

[@MonsieurVAA]

That will restore your faith in drop A and drop G

[@andrengrimsley3813]

Bruh u didn’t even play the best riff in hourglass

[@nikifalcon]

Ghost Walking is also a good song by Lamb Of God.

[@mcorp4268]

Mikhail Khapov drop D riffs here not drop C#

[@nikifalcon]

Oh. Alright.

[@labermichnichtzu8003]

MCORP shouldn't it be called dropped B?

[@vvar389]

laber mich nicht zu Drop B is a whole step down from Drop C#

[@labermichnichtzu8003]

ah so it's the tuning that trivium uses on in waves, isn't it?

[@Mortimyer93]

Laid to Rest always will have a special place in my heart. The first metal experience I ever laid ears on.

[@franciscopeirone4160]

You're definitely the next Lamb of God guitarist P.D: You must sign with Jackson if you want to look like Mark Morton

[@JamieSlays]

+Francisco Peirone haha I wish!! 🙏

[@MultiCrackShot]

Not taking away from Jamie's guitaring skills at all, but it is completely different to learn how to play the songs as opposed to actually writing them from scratch. Lamb of God are all geniuses.

[@skyline2601]

@@MultiCrackShot Honestly I feel like someone with his experience could easily write riffs like that. Their riffs have a pretty specific formula and with some creativity you could write something like that.

[@Jack-Yates]

Some of these are actually just mind blowing!

[@niklasfreericks5436]

I really like Lamb of God's Resolution album

[@MrJacobnoel]

Niklas Freericks it's their weakest album to be honest

[@niklasfreericks5436]

***** They are doing something right if i like their weakest album

[@lord.6856]

I agree with Jacob but there is a song called King Me...emotional af...in a good way.

[@MrJacobnoel]

Franco Reyes Yeah, not really the Lamb of God vibe but its still a good song

[@dylanschmeichel2008]

how its like there most brutal. ghostwalking is definently my fav song.

[@darkaquatus]

It gives me hope that you started this compilation off with ruin. Love you for that

[@Wojciech940]

It's the first time I'm here and you are really talented guitarist and enthusiastic as a person. I like that, keep it up, man

[@alexclancy9467]

I still think that the fast part in Vigil is one of their best riffs ever.

[@RoofOfAstora]

Then when they slow it down and you're just putting your head through the floor

[@corhoc]

11th hour riff is amazing, didn't even know the song! Thanks I guess! You 've nailed all of them in this video Stay heavy!

[@Kimathy616]

Great video Jamie! I love LOG! I can’t pick a favourite as there are too many great songs by lamb of god, Although I love “now you’ve got something to die for” And also Descending, I’d like to hear you play that 😃 such a great tune!

[@AdiAdi-bf6sj]

Yeaaa i love lamb of god thank you so much for this video, keep them coming cause you're awesome dude

[@Omen_Seven]

A better way of saying this title would have been something like this, Mark Morton: Restoring Your Faith in Drop D Tuning. You could go through LoG's entire catalog and maybe, MAYBE find one or two riffs that aren't very good. And when you consider that's seven records, that's saying a lot.

[@JamieSlays]

Aaron Turner haha it may have been a bit long but I'll consider it 😏

[@Omen_Seven]

Fanboying aside, I really do struggle to think of any LoG riffs that aren't good. Even when it comes to Mark's "worst" ones, they're just decent metal riffs. There aren't very many guitarists out there you can say that about.

[@chrisbotha8085]

Actually Willie Adler wrote allot of those riffs, songs Willie wrote: "Black Label," "11th Hour," "Blood Junkie," "Hourglass," "Blood of the Scribe," "Beating on Death's Door," "Ashes of the Wake," "Ruin" and "Again We Rise."

[@teejay3684]

Awesome job on those. I was hoping to see ashes of the wake (title track) but well done

[@aaron.biketrials]

swagballz935 and the t shirt I'm wearing in the video is a Japanese quote made by my girlfriend

[@RemixGods]

Awesome Playing! May have been screaming along to everything...

[@zackfraser8924]

What's wrong with drop d?

[@EvilLadderGaming]

Zack Fraser nothing. I think it's just that tons of newer metal bands are playing in lower tunings like drop C and A primarily

[@capperith1292]

Yeah breakdowns are drop nothing in 2025...

[@evanrogers4695]

Capperith Bands are gonna be tuning their whole guitar 2 octaves down

[@FigNeutered]

That's what I was thinking. Avenged Sevenfold is still going strong playing primarily in drop D. I think even Gojira has songs in drop D. I get what it's about but there are some seriously cool bands still playing in drop D.

[@Headbanger9000]

Zack Fraser Nothing is wrong with Drop D. It just seems that just about every Post Hardcore band just one day decided to listen to Meshuggah and they said "Derrrp we can do that tooo, cept with morez breakdownz and instead of the low F tuning, lets make that a full ocatve low E from standard, deerrrr" So then Djent was formed and now every 16 yr old kid listening to the new trendy Djent music today, is picking up a 8 string guitar, turning the gain all the way up, playing the same string over and over (yeah really taking Meshuggah to the next level xD) and worst of all, playing an 8 string with SHIT TONE. That sums up just about all djent today. Cry me a river

[@pruple-tm]

"Don't click away! Next riff's a doozy!" Fucking great man XD

[@diego7994]

perfecto job bro, like always, i love lamb of god and i think the best riffs of they are in D drop, vigil, blood of the scribe are another good songs, the all ashes of the wake album is perfect, but my fav song are For your malice, i think this song are overrated and is sooo intense =)

[@JamieSlays]

+Diego Killuminati so much fun to play! Drop d is great

[@insederec]

I don't listen to Lamb of God and never have, I just wanted to come here and tell you all how superior I am because I listen to Tool and therefore I have not lost my faith in drop D because I listen to better music than you.

[@JamieSlays]

Insederec haha the sarcasm is brilliant

[@abhijitbaruah2859]

@Insederec I am superior because i don't listen to the opinions of dumbfucks like you. P.S - I listen to both Tool and Lamb of God, and they are pretty different in genre.
