[@JamieSlays]

hey! check out my latest video ;D i think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the riff!! (psst its through struggle)

[@nickstimetz1384]

Jamie Slays hey man how many bpm is that fast riff in through struggle?

[@luisrojas-to9sf]

Jamie Slays si te falto through struggle sin ninguna duda

[@luisrojas-to9sf]

Jamie Slays bue oido chabon sin duda los mejorrs riff del metal

[@occiferfigpucker4840]

It's confined, not confide. Fail.

[@occiferfigpucker4840]

Also it's the darkest nights... Do some homework man. Jeez.

[@robbieredrum5953]

As I Lay Dying will always be supreme metalcore. Especially the first album.

[@JamieSlays]

Yeppppp

[@timm5970]

I think you mean especially shadows are security. That's hands down their best album

[@sirnasty1553]

M I S T E R G R A Y honestly though

[@ckngmad1357]

yeah, first 2 album contain ocean between us and 94 hour

[@timm5970]

male grotesque no they don't lol

[@vinsennarendra7901]

These riffs, will carry me through the darkest nights~

[@jlayton2335]

You forgot through struggle

[@JamieSlays]

>,>...

[@JamieSlays]

hey! check out my latest video ;D i think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the riff!! (psst its through struggle)

[@redjammie8342]

and the sound of truth. I kept waiting until the end

[@RECTALBURRITO]

Oh dang. I forgot about it!

[@masallset]

Through struggle was a killer and was actually the first I heard by then also the wreckage was awesome as well

[@thomasobanion923]

Not certain, but I think “Confide” is actually titled “Confined”.... maybe my memory is not so great. Great work anyhow

[@JamieSlays]

Oh no did I spell it wrong ☹️

[@thomasobanion923]

Jamie Slays it’s all good. Just making an observation. The guitar work was good. Keep up the great work my friend ;)

[@JamieSlays]

Thanks bro. I should’ve double checked haha

[@AldayFernandoIII]

Of corz it is confined, if it is confide all along then it is mandela effect for me

[@kane_eightee]

It’s definitely Confined.

[@stoenchu122]

As I Lay Dying are back to save metalcore from dying

[@jasonfeider595]

stoenchu122 yes as I lay rocks so hard

[@chaz1745]

Ice Nine Kills? Wage War? While She Sleeps? In Flames? Bury Tomorrow? Architects? So many freaking bands.. Metalcore isn't dying you're just not listening to the right bands.

[@goregore5421]

El.Tres.Piernas bmth are poser bro😂😂😂

[@NguyenPham-bl6qm]

Amen brother

[@jessezimmermann3570]

Architects

[@bobbysteurer8631]

The chorus of “Confined” is one of my favorite riffs of all time!

[@JamieSlays]

Yessss

[@waterproof4403]

I'm humming it everytime 😂

[@atvena]

its probably the best chorus backing riff of all time.

[@dariorox1]

yeah but here he played "Confide" 😄

[@GaryIstAltMan]

ABSOLUTLEY.❤

[@Bloodray6]

Hey, Can you do 8 riffs that prove Tim Lambesis is innocent? all kidding aside, you did forget Anodyne Sea

[@Jpinedo777]

LOL!

[@DaxterZA]

When I got my first electric guitar and Amp I learned most of the songs in this video's list. Hate them or love them, AILD has some of the coolest guitar riffs, and if you want to improve your playing, especially metal, I highly recommend learning AILD songs!

[@LifeSoDetermined]

Nick and Phil are riff masters. As I Lay Dying was so good. Still hoping they will get back together.

[@JamieSlays]

Here’s hoping!

[@LifeSoDetermined]

Great videos too man. I'm glad I found your channel a few weeks ago.

[@puredisgust]

Life So Determined. TIM is bringing As I lay dying back, but he's the only original member, so no Jordan, Nick, Phil and Josh....new music this yr.

[@slkgfj]

What. They're basically Wovenwar now because the singer of As I Lay Dying tried to hire someone to murder his wife, and the rest of the band probably agreed that distancing themselves from "that christian band whose lead singer tried to kill his wife"

[@dylan.606]

wovenwar is better anyway. tim lambesis got pretty stale

[@joshuaheney4969]

Where's Parallels? 😢

[@korman7]

Ya....that riff has a ton of creativity with the tuning. Sounds like nothing else.

[@jl123ist]

You missed "Parallels" Freaking awesome Intro riff.

[@TikiMtlcre]

One of my favourite bands! Good job bro!!

[@JamieSlays]

Yeh! Mine too!

[@metalfreekz13]

I love their mix of thrashy riffs and melody. For me: 10. Parallels 09. Through Struggle 08. Beyond Our Suffering 07. Nothing Left 06. No Lungs To Breathe 05. Condemned 04. Morning Waits 03. Comfort Betrays 02. Wasted Words 01. Collision

[@stonecold5373]

best metalcore band of all time. can't believe how they aren't ranked higher on charts. the fucking guitar and melody in their songs is top notch. sound of truth should definitely be on here. best riff ever.

[@chux27]

You forgot "Through Struggle"

[@JamieSlays]

hey! check out my latest video ;D i think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the riff!! (psst its through struggle)

[@andrewtrofimov1027]

This reminds me how much fun AILD songs are to play on guitar. Confined was the first song I ever learned that wasn’t just chords.

[@TheJWUZZLE]

Yes and you forgot The Sound of Truth.

[@CreeCore94]

I love how the air drumming was so good in the confined part, that I didn’t notice the spelling mistake the first time watching this. Stoked.

[@002nl]

Thanks so much for doing this mate! It's a great tribute for the band.

[@josephanderson8282]

Yea man! Nicely done! Longtime fan here as well. They create a sound that I always, personally thought was A+, and great playing!

[@kungfuman82]

All right, "Confined" got me headbanging. I'll have to check these guys out now. Great video as always!

[@soadfan1016]

kungfuman82 Probably cause of the blast beats

[@atvena]

watch it live at wacken in 2008 it will get you moshing

[@brandonproctor3639]

My absolute favorite by far! Damn I love As I Lay Dying! I really love the riff from "Tear out my eyes". I was kind of expecting that 🤔

[@adrianwagner8319]

Thank you!!! Subscribed immediately man. Great song's from an amazing band

[@bennersftw2644]

God this was good dude! Ima go listen to all their albums again! This video brought me back to the good ol' days.

[@highguy0678]

The sound of truth Chorus riff might just be the greatest riff I've ever heard in my life.

[@muthu1046]

Fantastic guitar playing!.. AILD is one of my favourite bands as well..

[@Tyler-ni5hi]

Great job man and nice jamming this out.

[@jordanboys7979]

Jamie! I've been a huge fan of your videos for a while now and got super excited when I saw you made a list of favorite AILD songs, double thumbs up! 👍🤘

[@RudyAyoub]

Can u do prog riffs or its not ur thang?

[@JamieSlays]

I could try!

[@6tony1gray4]

Top prog riff of all time. 0-3-5

[@Reggiegigas718]

@@6tony1gray4 True

[@quantumxfluxmd6821]

Leave him alone gruby 035🥲

[@nathanhogsed7475]

🤘😁🤘 That was awesome! I really miss As I Lay Dying 😐

[@jannismuhlbauer6943]

absolute insane guitar work mate!

[@brandonproctor3639]

Damn right they are mate! Awesome work my friend and great tone.

[@djf5065]

Confined and the darkest nights the first real metalcore songs I learned when I transitioned in my guitar playing, the memories!

[@MauriTonon]

great choice in riffs! especially the last one - they hadn't played darkest nights in years, and I was so happy seeing them playing this song only weeks before Tim got busted.

[@jagorganics648]

Helllllll yeaaah. Soo glad I've seen em live. Awesome shows!!

[@TAKFULLHOUSE]

Sounds Great! Awesome playing man!!

[@pantherex1855]

At the Gates says your welcome metalcore

[@BajaDeezNutz]

The Kings are back baby!

[@TheSapShop]

BajaDeezNutz I cried watching the new video they dropped lastnight

[@nekradevil]

Thank you so much for video. Great band, great playibg through. Good luck

[@jpaxton19]

Well fucking done dude. All of their best. They are definitely one of my favorite metalcore bands for sure. You nailed it sir

[@DJL3SS]

Shadows Are Security is one of my favorite albums of all time. Through Struggle is still a big workout song for me. Great job on the video!

[@JamieSlays]

hey! check out my latest video ;D i think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the riff!! (psst its through struggle)

[@EricLS]

I’m not sure why, but despite so many amazing songs by this band, I always come back to Comfort Betrays. There is something off kilter and complex about that song. The solos bounce around over a polka-like beat with playfulness before descending into absolute face melting madness. There is just so much packed into that song. I get why it’s not they’re most popular one, but it’s my go to.

[@jaydennis1999]

Comfort Betrays is such a perfect title and I agree that it’s grossly overlooked. I ranked their albums on my channel and really give love to that whole album

[@jonboyd9457]

Awesome set! Tear out my eyes is another of my favorites and redefined.

[@joshnowell6172]

Just found this channel you hit on so many metal song I love that people don’t normally appreciate

[@KaoswareMetal]

Love your shirt !!!!

[@sticktoyourdrums8177]

Falling upon deaf ears Through struggle I never wanted Distance is darkness Parallels And the entire Awakened album was dope

[@justinkinsella7212]

Jamie never fails to make me question my guitar playing ability.. nice work as always man!

[@jacks910]

They are back Jamie! I’m so hyped.

[@andrewmarman9655]

Loving the aggressive down strokes!

[@alispie]

Lots of well deserved love here for Frail Words Collapse. Honestly though, they never made a bad album imo. And yes, best metalcore band, I can sign off on that.

[@basketballsauce8148]

You’re right! Great riffs and great video!

[@piotrnowak6680]

Great job. I love your channel 🤘🎸

[@josefkhamis2231]

As I Lay Dying is my all time favourite band. Miss them so much. Forever is my top 1 🔥🔥🔥

[@MegaDarklee]

I like all of the ones that you picked, but I always had an amazing rush when listening to Morning Waits. That song has the coolest sound. At the 43 second mark of the song. I really dig that sound.

[@jacobshort621]

Don't forget the sound of truth

[@chrishamlett1722]

I think you are correct on this! And watching you shred makes me want to learn these

[@JamieSlays]

Yehhhhhh learn them now!

[@javieralarcon6316]

Great songs, as always well performed 😀👍🏻🤘🏻🎸

[@Icanstopatanytime]

Awesome video, man. You should definitely do one of these for Unearth.

[@WHATDA458]

DeathofTeyolia dude, they’re DEFINITELY tied for first. Unearth introduced me to.......riffage I guess you’d call it. Me and my dad were watching headbangers ball when I was like 8 and sanctity of brothers came on and we were like this is it right here

[@jacobharris6746]

This dude probably cant play the sweeps tho...

[@majornugzzz5424]

Sooooooooo much yes for UnEarth. The Oncoming Storm is quite a killer CD, start to end.

[@venumbear7393]

I agree, some Unearth would be incredible. My Will Be Done is still one of the songs I use to introduce friends to them.

[@majornugzzz5424]

Venum Plays mine usually is the first CD. To each is own though! Great jam to get people into. My favorite is Black Hearts Now Reign.

[@salvadorivanrivero5137]

Chorus of Forsaken !!!

[@nikolasimonovski427]

I like to come back and watch your vids because there so much fun to watch. And had inspired me to learn some of these rifs🙂🙂. Greetings from Serbia Jamie.

[@TornByThornss]

Your videos are really inspiring dude!

[@j.rsmith4106]

how I miss those guys. I wish they came back 😥

[@Oshian2012]

Sounds Of Truth and Anodyne Sea. But you nailed these songs dude!

[@andrij13]

Sweet! Makes me miss them! Need to listen to their stuff again

[@wolfdemon656]

Ahhh the feeels! Great job man!

[@aloneincombat2770]

Very good Jamie....I am Gabriel your fan of 6 years in KZbin

[@JamieSlays]

Hi Gabriel!! Nice to meet you! 6 years?! Wow!!

[@sirnasty1553]

They need to release that new album already

[@edreyimendez7028]

Zach The Anime Hunter they broke up yo :/

[@sirnasty1553]

Edreyi Mendez They never said that. Tim just went to jail and couldn’t make music. I believe they said they’re working on new stuff

[@edreyimendez7028]

Zach The Anime Hunter I hope so, it'd be awesome

[@chitownart2767]

Well they posted "Activity" last June on their social media. So im pretty sure they're releasing new music this year. Plus I read an article that pretty much confirmed this.

[@blackdahlia6870]

New single.. Surpriseee

[@chadwilson7903]

I love as I lay dying.. Great vid!!

[@Zizaco]

Very well done My favorite band... can't wait for their (his) return : 3

[@AnarchyDucky]

They're back 🤘

[@JamieSlays]

Yessss

[@isaacduplantis1114]

Please do top Bury Tomorrow riffs!!!

[@Matt6h]

Isaac Duplantis yessssss

[@CandiceG0777]

Great tone and great playing!!! Haha I seen those pinch harmonics you missed though ;) keep up the good videos mate

[@mechapigman]

Omg yes! I can't believe you did this! I'm one happy guy! 🤘🏼

[@JamieSlays]

Yayyyy glad you like it

[@fyrengard]

Through struggle is my most favorite song ever!!!

[@JamieSlays]

hey! check out my latest video ;D i think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the riff!! (psst its through struggle)

[@lancehoppert37]

could be a greatest hits album with those songs! nice job, bro!

[@forprogress999]

“Blinded” is a sick new track. Newish to metal and I really like what it hearing, Jamie. 🤘

[@jcardenas15]

Man I freaking miss As I lay dying !! They need to get back together

[@TOTALPWNAGE3]

jcardenas15 according to Tim he has plans to continue AILD but with new members. Not sure it would be as good but it's something to look forward to.

[@jcardenas15]

lorenzovonmatterhorn yeah I saw a video of him talking about it. Hopefully something will happen

[@thomaspaul6656]

Check the aild official website

[@raffaelnickson535]

Melhor banda de Metalcore do mundo...

[@chickendinnersonly9226]

Great shredding! Keep slayin

[@jakemiles422]

u are truly inspiring. keep up the awesome wrk and thank you. i never comment but i just am continually amazed \m/

[@inspektorsx683]

AILD is the best for me, even they are separated because of Tim

[@MardyBum100291]

They're a band again, currently only member is Tim, but AILD are functioning apparently.

[@Chris0334]

They should be releasing new music in the near future.

[@tonymetals6022]

do u know parkway drive? very good band too. just go and listen to them

[@snowbtf]

Tony Metals Parkway Drive is probably the closest thing you can get to AILD and are hands down the best bands in metalcore imo

[@MardyBum100291]

Parkway Drive were good like 5 years ago, their last two albums have been dire.

[@yungplague5534]

The sound of truth thoooo

[@Killthesefears]

So much heart in your playing, too bro. 🙌🏼

[@TheloniousDrunk69]

Bought a ticket to see them in November. I can’t be more excited.

[@ericsmith2487]

Awesome picks there Jamie.! Absolutely love Nothing Left but where is Parallels or Within Destruction at? 😂

[@JamieSlays]

Those songs are crazy haha. I could only choose so many

[@ericsmith2487]

Too true man plus Parallels is in dgdfad tuning isn't it? Still a great video regardless

[@JamieSlays]

Yeh it is!! Weird haha

[@fallenhw]

Been waiting for their comeback ever since........

[@JamieSlays]

Omg I know!

[@jasonkuy7100]

And now they have come back

[@russellweisenthal9841]

An Ocean Between Us is definitely my favorite! And that Gengar on your speaker is hella badass too lol

[@nilsio22]

nice video ..... confined was one of my first riffs i played when i start leraning guitar .... i needed weeks to learn it and when you play it it looks so easy :D

[@Criglet7]

I hope they come back!

[@jacks910]

Kenny Benny they are back

[@t3chphr3ak]

My guy you need more songs from Awakened

[@RGPEDROSA20]

Liked and subscribed. Dude, awesome work. AILD

[@mikes1307]

This comment started by me complimenting your downstrokes in Confided. As I continued watching not just your downpicking, but alternate picking, economy picking, string skipping, palm muting all spot on. Great technique, well done sir

[@alancapers7086]

and they are coming back.

[@JamieSlays]

Yessssss

[@isaacduplantis1114]

AILD FOR LIFE!!!🤘

[@deadramaster]

Not gunna lie I read this as ALDI and I thought wtf who worships a supermarket

[@isaacduplantis1114]

🤣🤣

[@gordonfreeman451]

One of my all time favorite bands, great song choices!

[@raul_138]

This band got me through grade 10 ,thank you for vid very beautifuly done my friend.

[@lkswtf]

Where is parallels bro

[@adamhurt612]

Not gonna argue but the sound of truth should’ve definitely made the list along w through struggle. The former is really tough to play, I can’t get it to speed anyhow. Good job

[@gordonfreeman451]

AILD has always been one of my favorite bands and "Forever" was the first full song I learned when I first started playing. Awesome vid bro 👌

[@w1923]

You make it look easy! Nice riffing. Sick Ibanez btw.

[@JamieSlays]

thanks bro!! :D
