MORBID ANGEL Riff Journey (1989 - 2017 Guitar Riff Compilation)

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Rewatching this after 10 months or so. Gonna remix and remaster this one at some point cause (looking back) this tone kinda sucks.

[@12breacher82]

Need a Rat pedal to make it legit. MA has some greasy, slimy sounding tones and I think you did a pretty good job with just the Nameless. Great riffing; MA is an ATF and I love seeing people jamming their songs. Kudos for skipping 2011, and for the stank face with those riffs!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@12breacher82 yeah I mean by my standards, it wasn’t such a great tone. But looking back, that’s more or less how MA’s guitars typically sound (slimy, baked, and overall greasy). I’ve actually got a RAT style plugin pedal and it sounds fairly close. I often use it for bass so it’s distortion can glue well with the distortion of the guitars.

[@Wolffaceguitar]

Ya ought to do god of emptyness, it's the death metal campfire song along!! Excellent work

[@mervunit]

honestly this shit rips my guy

[@katshades]

3:36 the tone is a million times better than Herectic guitar tone.

[@greer776611]

Everyone always says Cannibal Corpse is the greatest death metal band- but it will always be Morbid Angel to me!

[@luisserrano5690]

Don't forget how many people love Death and Chuck Shulinder to the core, too. I mean, they are great bands, but Morbid Angel is my personal favorite too. Hail the Angel! 🤟

[@raakareiska9804]

@@luisserrano5690 Chuck made one record that could be classified as pure death metal and his music quickly evolved to something else. And he did not even claim to play death metal. Death is great but greatest death metal band? Never

[@fahrezirafid8]

Same here

[@jye_24]

@@raakareiska9804 Chuck Schuldiner and Death Is Death Metal... He is the Creator of it I don’t care what anyone Says. Scream Bloody Gore is the First Death Metal album and Leprosy Topped that… And as for the Best Band, I would Easily Put Death over Morbid Angel. I don’t care if Chuck went more Technical or Progressive he is the King. Not a Single Morbid Angel Album is Better than a single Death Album. I am a Massive Morbid Angel Fan but Chucks Musicality is Literally from Another Planet. I don’t care about how many Blast beats he used or how many Riffs he Trem Picked... Death is Untouchable.

[@raakareiska9804]

@@jye_24 Possessed made it first not Death. At those days they both sounded more like thrash and Possessed just took the name Death metal to use. Their stuff does not differ much from early Kreator

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

Morbid Angel has the grooviest and most unique riffs. Hard to find videos like this

[@jojoplaysmusic]

We’ll be sure to stick around, since there’s more from where that came from :)

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

@@jojoplaysmusic BTW, how do you learn their songs? The rhythm guitar is kinda hard to hear on a lot of songs.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@Spongebob-lf5dn it’s a combination of looking for tabs and figuring it out by ear for this particular case. Most of the time tabs are wrong but they kinda give you a framework to start-off with.

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

@@jojoplaysmusic oh alrighty then 👌

[@Spongebob-lf5dn]

@Steez Keebs It seems that entire album is less about dark and evil riffs, more uplifting grooves.

[@andrewsawdon2170]

I love how Trey plays his riffs. You can tell that he's probably self-taught by just the way they sound and play. Sure, the riffs are pretty standard for death metal nowadays, but nobody can play them exactly they way Trey does.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

He definitely had an “out there” style of writing for the time.

[@devilxking2]

You can tell by his picking hand alone he's entirely self-taught. Amazing player

[@EGGJAZZ]

how can you say the riffs are standard, nothing like them elsewhere

[@fabricio6740]

There is something in the Morbid Angel's riffs, that is marvelous baffling...

[@jojoplaysmusic]

They do sound very particular without sounding too weird

[@lwelz68]

Those riffs from 2011 were just "too extreme" for this video! :)

Nice work jojo do it with all the greatest band and you gonna be famous. 🎉

[@evvldvrk1music-official]

"Juvenilia" was the missing album between the last two albums, granted its a LIVE album so I'm not sure why they bothered giving it a new name. I guess they wanted to trick the fans into thinking they put something new out so they can make money... probably the same management that was responsible for "Illud Divinum Insanus" I'm just happy they returned to their former glory with Kingdoms Disdained

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I just don’t take into consideration live albums. They’re not main releases.

[@ichpinhead]

The Illud joke is fun and all but it's been a decade and people should have been able to figure out by now that there are at least a couple actually good Morbid Angel songs on that record. Well, one or two, possibly three.
