Drop E Heaviest Guitar Riffs

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Get the Schecter John Browne signature guitar, or any other music gear at Sweetwater here: sweetwater.sjv.io/Gmn5J9

[@THEDJAG-gt1tz]

Hacktivist is a amazing band too

[@THEDJAG-gt1tz]

I think you forgot to include Hacktivist - Elevate. Maybe you shouldn't think that you MUST NOT include several songs by the same band. Because maybe you should start including 1 or 2 more songs by a band if they are in the same tuning.

[@Alex-dr6or]

"Drop E is the Drop C of the drop A guitars" it shouldn't make sense but it does make perfect sense.

[@Scotland_James]

It doesn’t make snes because Drop C is two full steps down from E standard. Drop E is 2.5 steps down from A. The drop C of Drop A standard is Drop F 🤷‍♂️

[@NateSmith87]

That Tony Tap Dance Extravaganza riff was fuckin moshpit worthy.

[@TacoCrisma]

That whole album is

That guitar looks like a weapon of auditory bliss.

[@h3r3tic66]

4:14 that face encapsulates how it feels playing any tremolo picking

[@VermillionInvades]

Poltergeist was a shock the first time I listened to Koi No Yokan. That album turned out to be one of my favorites of theirs!

[@Beast_Hub]

That Infant Annihilator riff is so fun to play

[@CZitoMusic]

That Humanity's Last Breath riff is thick and nasty 🔥

[@twixfirst]

mad respect for doing tony danza tapdance extravaganza. josh is such an interesting guitarist, writing the heaviest music in the weirdest tunings. understandable that you kept it in normal drop e instead of e b e b e f# b e cuz every time i tune to that i fear for my life. keep up the good work!

[@themightymcb7310]

Yo I was NOT expecting to hear that Tony Danza riff but it was a pleasant surprise. Such a cool band

[@me4tgr1ndr]

Looove Josh travis!

[@tfwnoyandere]

hacktivist is unbelievably slept on. banger after banger

[@tfwnoyandere]

thalls sounding extra thally on this one

[@tfwnoyandere]

i think it must be the presence of certain harmonics in the tone

[@TheGallery213]

More so than the riffs, your tone is fantastic! I've never heard drop E sound so defined and clear 😚👌

[@opethmike]

Just bought a Schecter Omen Elite 8 MLS. I'm in love.

[@maxwellfrost9701]

TDTE is so underrated 🤘

[@JohnR436]

Mix and tone are ridiculously clean yet nasty

[@djencode]

Was good seeing you in Winnipeg! You guys rocked! I ended up putting my Jackson gold flake mdk in f# standard. Guess I'll have to drop the bottom string now lol!

[@Evolji228]

No shit, someone in North America knows who Hacktivist is! Glad to see that. Unlike Us and Turning the Tables are so good

[@juliobonilla3104]

I live in El Salvador and I’ve known them for years, 2013 specifically, doesn’t surprise me they’re known in the US

[@tfwnoyandere]

they're the best

[@justinlonghofer]

Fuck yes

[@GianProgg666]

Well Andrew, you’re doing some stuff in here and I love it! 🤘😈

[@ShallieDragon]

Legit this is giving me ideas for riffs to learn.

[@rondecaro]

Hey man. Came out to Boston on the 11th. You guys were awesome live. It was the best show I have been to in a long time.

[@bolillo5013]

Carcosa KILLED in Chicago. Also, I've been waiting for this one, I need to learn some songs.

[@brodie7364]

The demonstration is impressive as always. This drop really imposes after you have to have the guitar and a neck that supports such a tuning. The next video a version of the drop F.

[@TacoCrisma]

So glad you had Danza in here cause I wasn’t gonna be happy if you skipped em. Need some glasscloud too

[@ericdravenX00X]

Nice picks, Best 2 riffs are Danza and Humanity's Last Breath..

[@AaronMorgan666]

Hell yea dude! Danza 4 is pure bliss!

[@RegularGuyJake]

Sick tone.

[@ajayramirez8542]

I'm so happy to see that Sweetwater is sponsoring so many of my favorite KZbinrs! I live just under an hour away and it's literally music heaven, if anyone ever gets a chance to visit you won't be disappointed!

[@AngelJamieJules]

I hear Animals as Leaders, I immediately like.

[@jamesjearum7296]

Yes mate! HACKTIVIST and LOATHE for the win 🤘

[@2174863]

Now for heaviest double drop A riffs…That one part in Pelt of Innocent Flesh by IA 😏

Hell yeah been meaning to learn more on the 8 picked up recently

We have a song called white eyed raven. Pretty heavy in drop E !m!❤

You guys killed it in Montreal! Awesome night overall.

[@kernoleary1394]

Look at this man posting while hes on tour. Toronto show as SICK! Told you id bring out all the homies!

[@Fail7515]

No Currents? That's how I discovered drop E was a thing. Artificial S... is heavy as hell.

[@uvb76enjoyer]

love dat guitar

[@toompros]

The infant annihilator album cover in the thumbnail made me click immediately

[@ZakkiLowe]

Bermuda - The Recluse is one of my favorites in drop E (EBEADEFE).

[@The_Crooked_Path]

My personal choice for Chelsea Grin drop E riff would be Four Horsemen. So heavy and groovy and evil. Got it right with that IA riff though. Good shit Andrew

[@vinxmusic_]

My favourite 8 string tuning

[@albodoin]

Carcosa show in Montreal was lit! I was just hoping to see that nintendo long sleeve at the merch :(

[@ethanmorrow5623]

Unlike Us by Hacktivist is a banger too

I play in a band with Rich (Drummer) from Hacktivist and always send him vids when their riffs end up in these !

[@TimMucciDrums]

Awesome video dude. Sounded damn good. Quick question, are you still using the stock pickups in that guitar ? Or did you swap them out ?

[@huey66666]

if you do a video in this series with the Ibanez RGDMS8 I'll buy one.

[@user-ug6xh5eo9r]

Wooooooow man that tone!!!!

[@wanderergrim]

Drop A on a 7 string is the Drop D of 7 string as you tune the lowest string down a whole-step and leave the rest in standard. That makes it more equivalent unless you're saying like Drop C is the go to metalcore tuning and Drop A is the go to deathcore tuning. So both tunings are go tos.

[@paulwittek2660]

You don't watch this channel much, apparently.

[@flufficornss]

i dont think you got what he was saying drop c = most common metal tuning on 6 string for 7 string it was drop A for the longest time and on 8 strings in drop E

[@matt926uk1]

you should do 'The Shadows' heaviest riffs, they play in E standard usually and are pretty brutal sounding.

[@tfwnoyandere]

youre on the wrong channel lol

Just when I thought the 7 string guitar explosion of the early 2000's couldn't have created more dumbed down riffs, we have the 8 string Idiocracy movement here upon us. Just the most basic, simplistic, ordinary riffs out there with 100 copycats doing it. I'm bored to tears by 99% of 8 string riffs. Thank you Animals As Leaders for at least doing something novel with it.
