[@IgorGabriel-uo7jj]

he plays creeping death at 1987 metallica speed as a fucking warm-up, Jeff is a god

[@ianspeckmaier7344]

Jeff warms up WITH Creeping death, I have to warm up FOR creeping death :P

[@RobGravelle]

You said it!

[@inakiaraluze4528]

Hellfuckingyeah.

[@joseph9val]

First riff; Creeping Death (metallica) Second riff; Chemical warfare (Slayer) Third Riff; Rainning Blood (Slayer) Fourth Riff; Riding the Wind (Judas Priest) Fifth Riff; Sentinel (Judas Priest) Then can anyone help me?

[@brb562]

Sixth riff; Turn Me On (Accept)

[@EgiN281]

Says "James Hetfield is the king of down-picking", but plays it insanely fast. What a guy...

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

hes so down to Earth , i love this man

[@thesabbath483]

James can play even faster but also even cleaner, so yes, Jeff is right when he says that James is the King of downpicking, because he actually is.

[@qsafex]

@@thesabbath483 that's a crazy take. James admitted that Master of Puppets was sped up during recording because he was unable at the original BPM.

[@thesabbath483]

@@qsafex Yes but when you see them play all those shows soon after the release of the album, you can see that he got much faster, espescially when you watch the Canada 1986 shows, he got CRAZY fast. So he's still the king of downpicking and metal picking in general.

[@TheTrueFortress]

Jeff is my all-time favourite guitarist and his taste in music is very fine indeed.

[@HishamofJapan]

He is so humble he doesn't know it.

[@MorbidVizions]

The ALMIGHTY Jeff Waters!!

[@luc93luc]

he plays incredibly tight

[@666.Slipknot]

One of the best heavy metal guitarist of all time. 🙏🙏

[@evil_google2477]

Jeff the Guitar Terminator!

[@HorstKirkPageKian]

Last one is "Turn Me On" by Accept

[@sudharsanpaskaran]

Awsome dude!!

[@AGNTthrasher]

So the entire W.T.Y.D. solo was based off of The Sentinel? That's fuckin awesome!

[@Deamonition]

That would be because unlike Hetfield, Waters gets better has he grow older, which is far from being the case with the whole Metallica band.

[@Miist3rDuce1]

Not true, dummy

[@Deamonition]

@@Miist3rDuce1 Jesus fucking christ, you comment 10 years later and you call me dummy?

[@unclepecos7835]

Riding on the wind excellent stuff

[@djenii2020]

Один из лучших гитаристов планеты!

[@Hohlopidor]

лучший

[@yenlam3133]

'been an annihilator fan from the git!Jeff's heavies got a tasty melodic angle & the occasional funk riffage! Chuck-777

[@iamgribs]

Jeff water is one of the very best.

[@RazorAceYU]

HAIL JEFF WATERS! I jumped the second i heard him playing Creeping Death because this is also my warmup riff. :D For the record, he plays it even better than Hetfield nowadays.

[@ThatGuitardedGuy]

down picking hell.....so awesome

[@macdeath69]

@RazorAceYU I believe he can also do the solos better than Hammet.

[@traumaa.d.1495]

i just found out about Annihilator. [i know, under a rock, and hopeless. lol] never the less. im fucking obsessed. i had to go on a jeff waters binge to see his licks and watch interviews... heres the deal: im perplexed that he sites metallica and slayer this much. dont get me wrong i dig Metallica and Slayer it seems just as much as Jeff BUT all i keep thinking is... and this is just my own honest commentary in my head.. "slayer? metallica? hmm alright rad! buuuuuuut jeff, your playing is like you're mozart and slayer is a 9 year old playing chop sticks but just learned how to play chopsticks an hour ago." i jest...... Kinda... im being over the top but in all seriousness i find his playing and phrasing, soloing, arrangements, quick chirp arp or runs in like 'Imperiled Eyes' for instance. very impressive. i put on Annihilator while cleaning my studio and i found my self head banging moving instruments and cables. hearing these songs and commenting "this son of bitch can play!" good to see a player like this super humble.

[@iamgribs]

It's because he was influenced by them. He ran with a similar style of music, just took their techniques to a higher level.

[@iamgribs]

I think you could say, if Metallica and Slayer had crazy Van-Halen style technique, you'd get Annihilator.

[@rredzone]

the SENTINELLLLL!!!!!!!!

[@shermy7243]

He's a guitar god 😇

[@joebrodski1282]

Leck mich am Arsch, die Band habe ich jetzt schon dreimal live gesehen, immer in verschiedenen Konstellationen, immer wieder geil! Darüber hinaus verfüge ich über alle CDs und Jeff Waters ist 'eh einer der innovativsten Gitarrenschinder wo gibt!

[@MusicJamin330]

THE SENTINEL!!!!

[@HCkev]

The best warmup for downpicking gotta be Master of puppets though. That's the song that, at least personally, if I try to play without warming up, my right hand is already tired by the time I get to the verse 😂 After a few minutes of playing I'm fine though.

[@XXxSTEELHEADxXX]

man jeff waters.... his band makes realy great music , however he still says : the mighty metallica and slayer \m/

[@lasdicanacho]

balld to the wall! Shit, Jeff Waters, in my opinion is the best and fastest guitarrist, and so funny

[@maximbutorin8067]

He plays Chemical Warfare better than Kerry

[@Brainwashed90]

If you want jeff to warm up to downpicking and triplets just play Iced Earth...Jon Schaffer best rifflord ever exist !!!!

[@rozaanuarbekova9070]

I'm Jeff Waters Annihilator Fan since 1994 always yours Oscar Pawnee Brave (a MetalGuitarPlayer just like you) especualy for Phoenix Rising and Set the World on Fire.. Thank Bro.. I Wouldl llike to drink a lot of beers with you Thank You for Inspire Me.. See You Bro... Oscar.. .be healthy Goid Bless You Jeff..

[@yunesbb]

FUCKIN SLAYER !! HELL YEAH !

[@Brainthrasher]

Hammett is guitar beginner compared to Jeff

[@marinhrabric6162]

3 hammets combined would still fail some notes while jeff would solo for 5 minutes without mistake

[@sephiroth925ify]

@Anant RamanKirk is extremely shitty guitarist He cant even play his own solos clear.

[@Miist3rDuce1]

No he isn't, dummy

[@Miist3rDuce1]

​@@marinhrabric6162 not true, dummy

[@freno72]

You are my god!

[@Raider0075]

I wish I could learn to play guitar like that.

[@sarpiresthedatsuns]

wats the song @1:22 ?

[@d0dhe5T]

what song he plays on 1:20 after playing slayer rain of blood?

[@knightfall9394]

its a judas priest song called riding on the wind

[@doctordisco4886]

1:22 what song?

[@zackb5636]

His sense of humor reminds me of dead pool lol!

[@user-qq2gs3zd8m]

Я думаю никто не будет спорить, что ни Metallica, ни Slayer, ни Judas Priest, никогда даже близко так не играли!

[@alexito2078]

Ну судить сложно, так как играют в разных стилях, попросили бы их всех сыграть один рифф, тоода было бы видно

[@user-qq2gs3zd8m]

@@alexito2078 Джефф Уотерс треш-метал гитарист, сыграл хеви-метал риффы лучше их авторов! Я сужу конкретно по данному видео!)

[@flguitarist8298]

He used down strokes, he even said so...

[@v_georgiev]

That was a lot faster and cleaner than Metallica and Slayer.

[@Miist3rDuce1]

Not true, dummy

[@v_georgiev]

@@Miist3rDuce1 You are dummy.

[@0BLACKSABBATH]

Haha and these are only warm up for Jeff.

[@MrBIOSkunk]

:)

[@StewTheTrue]

CREEPING DEATH!

[@ogumusss]

hell ye chemical warfare

[@kirbod5920]

Убойно

[@thefuckingmegadave]

I doubt that somebody was able to play a song better than its own creator. I don´t understand why people doesn´t have more respect for bans like Metallica, which have given us so many unforgetable songs... I don´t understand so many hatred inside their supposed fans.

[@dii1314]

That it's not that difficult

[@Brainwashed90]

I love you Jeff but you are wrong...Jon Schaffer form Iced Earth is the king of rithms!!!!

[@ummumunshi8825]

980th like mine!
