TOP 20 METAL BREAKDOWNS | WITH TABS

[@PenguinzFTW]

The Am I Savage? breakdown is easily one of Metallica's heaviest riffs. Happy to see it getting some recognition\m/

[@lairofmedi3421]

Facts. Incredibly underrated song and especially that breakdown section. Amongst their heaviest riffs and it doesn't get mentioned much. \m/

[@dust17111]

I read it as happiest riffs lol 😂

[@biga6664]

Fyck yes such an understated song.

[@anonim2177]

metallica Happy to see it getting some recognition

[@berylmgage09]

Amazing song!

[@B---tw3kh]

Don't know if it counts as a breakdown for most people, but I always loved World Painted Blood by Slayer. The slow drop from F# to F to E and then that bridge in Eb is just so great

[@dust17111]

You know chords lol 😉

[@MetalGodOfLegend]

Yes it is.

[@dustyjoe71]

You’re awesome. My number one breakdown of all time is Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura, of course. Brutal in it’s simplicity.

[@davesmith8341]

That's my favorite as well! Too bad it wasn't on the list.

[@MarkSegalotto2009]

The greatest one. Period.

[@Ethesilentkid2]

Sepultura’s roots bloody roots is the best breakdown by sepultura

[@nextdistortion]

Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura in around 3:08... For me in the top-3 most badass metal breakdowns, if not number one

[@cripplingdebt224]

Can't explain how happy I am that you're shining light on the masterpiece that is Am I Savage. Thanks!

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodva9825]

Glad to see am I savage getting some love that song is hella underrated

[@musicinsession]

One of my favourite channels on youtube!! Learned so many songs, solos and riffs from this guy!! Keep it up Ibrahim!!

[@MegaFreez3]

En büyük mü bilmiyorum ama çok büyük bir usta. Milli değerimiz. Kıymetin daha çok bilinmeli. Harika olmuş eline sağlık 🤘🏻

[@dissonant_a]

Domination and straight into Am I Savage. Perfect! Great list man. Always a joy to watch.

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

Meshuggah - New Millenium Cyanide Christ outro is basically the final boss breakdown for the no headbang challenge. A newer one is the outro for Hello Death from Decapitated and a deep cut is the middle part of Filthy by Nothingface (Tom Maxwell, the riffmaster).

[@hms2407]

Love the fact that that you included the Earth shattering breakdown from Locust

[@Rowanexen]

Jerry Was a Race Car Driver by Primus, Forced Gender Reassignment by Cattle Decapitation, and Not of This God by Slayer are some great ones as well, but I ain't complaining about your picks, you had some damn great ones!

[@eliasmelle6293]

5:42 gave me really big St. Anger vibes, especially the tone

[@championoffire9568]

idk if anyone agrees but the end breakdown of sugar is amazing, easily one of soads top 5 songs to me

[@TeleuteDPu]

You should look into some Chimaira. Frozen in Time is one of my fav breakdowns. Their bridge riff in The Flame is absolutely absurd, too! Great video & picks, man!

[@dissonant_a]

Chimaira have some of the best riffs in metal by far! Their self titled record is just heavy riff after heavy riff.

[@d.o.9808]

Chimaira is criminally underrrated

[@andrewpappas9311]

Domination is one of my favourite Pantera songs and that breakdown riff goes fucking hard, still makes me wonder why they didn’t do anything more with it but it’s still badass nonetheless. Also if you do a part 2 I’d love to see Suite-Pee by System of a Down, that’s definitely one of the best breakdown riffs imo

[@djentleman_alt]

i mean the breakdown in I'm Broken is kinda similar

[@gabrielkirchgestner556]

What bpm is it

[@harlstrum]

Great tone for the classic breakdowns (Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, etc.) For the newer songs, it sounds like you need a stronger boost in front of your amp for a more aggressive yet still tight sound. Other than that great playing and great choice for breakdowns! Am I Savage is such an underrated song!

[@ericcartman1251]

Yeah Locust could have hit harder. Also, in my opinion that’s not even the best breakdown of the album. The end of Pearls Before The Swine hits much harder

[@ThisIsDAPGang]

Love seeing a song from Train of Thought getting some love! Endless Sacrifice was a great choice 🤘🤘

[@Umut_Cet]

The thing about Metallica is.. "Am I Savage" song comes out 2016 and its much brutal and beautiful than 90's and early 2000's breakdown riffs songs. This all about guitar tones and Metallica nailed it. In my opinion, Am I Savage breakdown riff is brutally much better than most of Pantera's breakdown work.

[@ChameleonTW]

Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells Municipal Waste - Shrednecks Overkill - Red White and Blue; The Sound of Dying; The Green and Black; Infection

[@aroundtheworld5555]

Very simple one, but the breakdown in Terror Regime by Jungle Rot is SO good! A perfect example of "less is more."

[@Feartheviper]

Love Jungle Rot’s breakdowns Blood Ties and Immersed In Pain come to mind off the top of my head too

[@Metalcore00]

As I Lay Dying'i koyduğun için teşekkür ederim. 🙏

[@Junior-kr4rf]

J'ai liké même avant que ça commence, merci pour cette vidéo c'était vraiment du lourd 🤘

[@deathcold_longplaysua4846]

Nice. I would also add these ones: Angelmaker - Exit Signs, Aviana - Oblivion, Beyond Creation - Earthborn Evolution, Fear Factory - Zero Signal, Hath - Kenosis, Infant Annihilator - Blasphemian, Omnium Gatherum - Gods go first, Orbi Culture - North Star of Nija, Slipknot - All hope is gone.

[@nofacegamer21]

I think he's doing metal in the most basic version of the genre

[@deathIeaf]

I absolutely love Locust by Machine Head

[@ImCaggpe]

En sevdiğim kanal :)

[@thog3594]

Cool to see Killswitch on here. If you’re making a part 2, I’d definitely suggest listening to some songs from their first album, particularly Irreversal. The breakdown at the end is sick.

[@MrLPMirror]

Holy moly seeing The Sorrow in there hit me like a truck - they were a local band just from my area :) \m/

[@Parsn2137]

i love how loud bass is on your videos, for me if every band had the bass that loud, metal would be better (my opinion ok?)

[@RealConcussionist]

​@CowOfTheSea_oh come on thats bullshit, ok i'll sea myself out

[@joaopedroferreiraribeiro1732]

Missed Backbone from Gojira. Such an amazing breakdown

[@gktbaron]

This felt more of a beatdown riff compilation than a breakdown compilation, but still sick playing.

[@kanoaikawach]

Beatdown is basically all breakdowns with a bit of riffage so

[@Toxoplasmosis679]

The flying whales breakdown has me headbanging even when I’m not listening to it

[@John-tc5wp]

Metallica, Pantera and Slayer really know how to make headbaging breakdowns. They tell stories, feelings, atmosphere. The whole middle ''composed'' mostly from 00 00 00 is incredibly boring, not heavy and every breakdown sounds the same. Good video tho!

[@Ewmaschek]

'Through Struggle' the ultimate head bang worthy breakdown.🤘

[@GabrielRamirez-lp2jq]

Domination, eyeless laid to rest and psychosocial 🔥🔥

[@Behdad47]

I now have a video where I can show a friend what a breakdown actually means. I wished Born of Osiris was included in the video, but either way, you played what I exactly expected from a breakdown video.

[@ggaccentc]

That Locust breakdown made my brain ooze out my ear.

[@MineiroMoto]

Sepultura - Dead Embryolic cells

[@fahyconor]

tool - the grudge. awesome breakdown

[@Limon_Kara]

Mükemmel! Çaldığınız şarkılan spotify listelerini de oluşturup açıklama kısmına paylaşsanız tadından yenmeyecek.

[@oppermanfitness]

So many zeros and I love it haha

[@jgardner5766]

I've never seen a safer or more basic take on this topic ever damn bro

[@elpistolas4485]

What a sick guitar tone you have 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@samseltoter560]

The ending breakdown in Electric Red by Meshuggah is so heavy it will crumble your walls as you listen to it.

[@dantemert]

kse yi eklemen mukemmel olmus, aralarinda da en favorim o zaten

[@Ewmaschek]

So true on "Through Struggle"

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Solid list, awesome playing as always, I would've put the breakdown from either Spit You Out, Room 409 or Scream Aim Fire for the BFMV pick

[@christopherhuff9883]

Ascensionism by Sleep Token has an amazingly underrated breakdown!!

[@JIB707]

How is holy wars not on here, the breakdown before the first verse is one of the best in thrash metal in my opinion 😅 I don’t mean that in a bad way sorry 😊 I respect the list 🤙🏼

[@aaronhall1603]

Wake up dead takes the cake for me. Or dystopia and we’ll be back. I can’t believe how original they’re songs still are after 40 years. Absolutely insane

[@iceyywuu]

walk - pantera’s breakdown also great

[@rafaelandrade07]

Holyyy I never thought i would see The Sorrow in your vídeo Man, i love the Band, sadly they not active 😢

[@russellbelew2604]

This is a solid list, however I think there's so many great breakdowns to choose from that it was disappointing you had multiple entries from a few bands. Maybe consider in future lists to not allow double entries so you can have a wider array of bands (like Unearth, who I was shocked didn't make the cut)! Regardless, amazing job as always. Keep up the content my friend.

[@terriblecertainity]

to me, Suffocation ( maybe "Liege Of Inveracity" )and Dying Fetus are severely missed here

[@jacobbullon649]

Some good ones on here. Great video

[@dhurz_slap28]

Great selections 🤘

[@jungleblobs5225]

the breakdown bridge riff in Graves Od The Fathers - Cryptopsy is the coolest fucking thing ever

[@andrejspasvelk233]

You missed 'Dead Embryonic Cells'

[@danbonestrider]

Possibly my favourite breakdown ever

[@ryandizzyslizzy]

Hell yeah

[@Mattwarszawa]

that's why i love metal

[@diegoreyyes949]

Domination - Pantera. The best heavy song of all times. 🤘🏻

[@nonamebrotha]

Thanks for the cool tutorial at the end ! Good vid.

[@Skeem96]

the early 2010's love was insane

[@theredrooster7143]

You’re awesome dude.

[@dandrumma1]

Karma from Parkway Drive breakdown after breakdown fkn killer

[@jxorz6013]

Cool list, never thought to limit it just to six string guitar songs. My top twenty can't be complete without "Bathed in Orange" by Ed Gein, "Dreaming In Dog Years" by The Red Chord, "Locust Reign" by Converge and "Dow Jones and the Temple Of Doom" by Burnt By The Sun.

[@SmashAtoms]

Ed Gein does not get enough recognition

[@jxorz6013]

@@SmashAtoms Facts. They achieved a level of tight, mathy noise and rawness that's hard to equal, even 20 years later. Great then, still good now.

[@TheMusicman-tv8pl]

One of my fave breakdowns is pray for plagues by bmth or nebula by incubus

[@salty_3k506]

someone already mentioned jerry was a racecar driver. so my question would be if you want to do a video on primus. lers guitar playing is like nothing else, especially on songs like heckler.

[@бурурброт-с9ъ]

pantera - "five minutes alone" best one

[@karmabloodykarma2792]

GREAT JOB THANX FOR YOUR TIME

[@chosenone2964]

Excellent. Thanx for this

[@sult4n4hmet]

Süper video abi eline sağlık keşke creeping death te koysaydın ama :D

[@decentpeoples2]

Bro the doos peg the poopdeck breakdown goes soooo hard why isnt it in here lmao

[@chuggy365]

This reminds me when I was a beginner, I’d learn random riffs and play another after another.

[@vocecaiunocontodomalakoi7541]

For me the The Conjuring by Megadeth is easily one of the best breakdowns ever

[@massimodezio4506]

Hello Ibrahim good morning. Terrific stuff and super clean production, Compliments! Would you mind to answer a question? Do you have a sistematic process to establish when it is time to go on from what you are practicing today to new stuff (basically pure technique)? My problem : I cannot normally bring my studies to the bpm speed i want to because it would last forever, and of course I have also to integrate new material in my routine. What are the signs you notice (or the process you use) to put that particular thing to the side (and maybe revisit it in the future?) and bring in new stuff to learn? i hope this make some sense :D Thank you in advance and keep rockin´! maxx

[@proletariatbourgeoisie9929]

You left out the most massive, bone-crushing, evil breakdown I have ever heard in my life. :( Forgotten Arrows by Gorguts.

[@MaxBeseech]

ustaaaa harikasın teşekkürler

[@reeceschwartz1573]

Missed out on sweating bullets breakdown

[@user-lael8]

Absolutely kills material!)

[@janaxelblomberg7768]

Love the inclusion of e standard ones

[@ericblade6152]

hmm. Breakdowns are best with context around them, best to have a few measures before/after. Just an idea if you do another one

[@thewildhealer541]

Good breakdowns but it's criminal not to have the father of all breakdowns, Future Breed Machine

[@r3d.plague]

Abi çok güzel video da bi knocked loose bi lorna shore bi slaughter to preveil görmek istiyo insan. sadece 6 tellide çalınanları aldım demişsin ama yine drop A'e kadar iniyosun keşke biraz daha deathcore grubu ekleseydin. Ama kalan tüm seçimler çok güzel ❤

[@RavGold]

This Locust breakdown kinda reminds me of a picking exercise

[@hacktivist86]

For me the craziest breakdown in the end of Kadinja track "The Right Escape") And 20 years ago breakdown from The End Of All Things To Come of Mudvayne was my favorite). p.s. breakdown in Am I Savage best part of new Metallica album)

[@mr.cozmoo]

Abi merhaba, 20 gojira riff videosu yapsan çok iyi olur. Bu arada video harika olmuş umarım daha iyi yerlere gelirsin

[@nglydngmycngraady5856]

slit your guts? immortal rites? creeping death?

[@heavydevy-c5630]

Gotta love it when it's all 1s and 0s 😂

[@Dakenousss]

You need to check out Chimaira, one of the heaviest bands

[@Frosted_Moontips]

Honestly did not expect to see Machine Head on here but yeah super based X33

[@flatchSave]

Headcrusher of Megadeth is a Headbanger breakdown

[@achrafmaaden6263]

Every breakdown list video should start with Domination , just to set the mood.

[@djinvisible8597]

I gotta ask where did you get that pick guard that’s hands down one of the cleanest looking guitars

[@marcsonntag1308]

I'm shocked that the Roots Bloody Roots outro is being left out!

[@simongabriel5958]

Dreams In Inertia by Code Orange has great breakdown

[@nboy707]

Suicide Note Pt.2 From Pantera has sick breakdown!

[@mer4672]

nice work

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

Could you do a top 10 or top 5 with only Metallica breakdowns ? :)

[@austinhanna8328]

I think this dying soul at 6:30 in the song would've been a better pick. Also the breakdown in kiss of fire by symphony x

[@RenalDistress]

Decimate The Weak by Winds of Plague has a ridiculous breakdown in it

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT...Thanks!
