My Favorite Metallica Riffs!

Jimmy talks about some of his favorite Metallica riffs that influenced his rhythm style of playing.

[@SalivateMetal]

The two most influential thrash albums for me were "Master Of Puppets" and "Deliverance". Bravo JPBII. You're awesome and God bless!

[@shawnstevens3848]

Jimmy, huge fan for decades man! You’re awesome and a huge inspiration for my guitar playing. Metallica was awesome, but I showed all my metal friends Deliverance. You’re playing is outstanding. Much love!

[@klauth_Yksyn]

So great to see you play Jimmy, thanks for THIS!

[@ghostredneck]

Brother, I agree that James was instrumental for a guitar sound for the metal generation of the 1980s. But I would also add Jimmy P Brown for the Christian metal sound of the same generation. Deliverance first album was ground breaking and very impactful in my life. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!

[@g1lart300]

Hello Jimmy! Deliverance song "no love" is very reminiscent of Metallica's "Battery" along with Iron Maiden's guitar riffs. The opening of Psalm 23 is very similar to welcome home (sanitarium), and "victory" in places resembles "fight fire with fire." I hope you won't be offended by the comparisons, these are just my observations. God bless you!

Amazing video! I'm glad you enjoy the intricacies of so many riffs, especially Dyer's Eve! Another reason I still love Metallica...their brilliant musicianship in the 80's. Their music from back then still never gets old for me. Deliverance also has great guitar work, for example..the beginning of "If We Faint Not" being a tune that made me stand up and go "Wow!" Simple or not isn't important, it's the feeling it stirs in you that is the best. That's the magic. Thanks

I had EXACTLY the SAME experience with the timing-trick going on in the Orion song They also turn thigs around the the 'Battery'-gangvocals in the chorus. Same kind of detail. This is exactly why I fell in love with their music (and therefore with Deliverance after I got saved). But Metallica don't use these kind of small details that much anymore, I wouldn't call it a downfall of the band but they just changed...... great video Jimmy!!

[@JazzSoulMetal]

Songs like All Nightmare Long, Spit Out The Bone, ManUnKind, and My Apocalypse and more still have that stuff.

[@justindetie2126]

Sounds awesome brother!!

[@klauth_Yksyn]

Loved the turn around on Orion! 👍Frayed ends of sanity @ 7:12 has an inspiring stalling out feel that I was always drawn to. It's these moments that really makes james stand out as a true inspiration.

[@michaelfrancis1]

hey hey hey, great video! definitely a super influential band to say the least. I didn't listen to them much until ...and justice for all. then i backtracked and learned (the ways of shred) from so many great riffs! The first time they really caught my attention was when a friend handed me his Walkman, at school lol, and said dude, check this out! it was, The Thing Which Should Not Be. So, the mix is what truly got me. MASSIVE guitar tones. STEREO spread... DOUBLE TRACKED guitars.... I was rigging up tape recorders to bounce tracks... and i was like, this won't do! i need more gear! and of course my dad was like, well then you need a better job! i was and will always be (very) thankful for specifically The Weapons Of Our Warfare and Learn. among others you guys wrote, those two albums kept me from longing for better Christian heavy music. Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Texas! 🤟😸🤟

[@kensheahan]

Tasty licks bro! Miss you, brother!

[@samson7point176]

Loved this.

Saludos Jimmy!!! 🔥

[@Rage-of-War]

Dude, nice to see you again!!!

[@Rage-of-War]

Your first couple records we could really hear the Hetfield influence and it was perfect!!

[@JimmyPBrownII]

Thanks James! Good to be back!!!

[@Rage-of-War]

@@JimmyPBrownII Last time I saw you was when D played with the three tremors, I think it was Feb 2019, was a great night of meeting you guys and helping load gear ha ha ha

[@kensheahan]

Dyers Eve is my all time favorite Metallica song!

[@ErWo75]

Orion is a beautiful song. It has a mysterious feeling to it. It’s otherworldly!

[@PhillyBorrero]

This is a DOPE run-through and a great video!!

[@JimmyPBrownII]

Thanks Phil!!! 😀

[@voidexe1]

god I love Orion

[@johnstie3331]

Jimmy!! Great video. I gotta make that list too someday:) Keep up the solid work bro!

[@jamesnelson1169]

Master of puppets is still one of my favorite Metallica albums,your picking is still epic man

[@JimmyPBrownII]

Thank you my Friend!!!

[@wayneanderson2866]

Hey Jimmy just wanted to say I love your podcast & KZbin channel! You probably did not see the dm I sent you last year, but I saw Metallica for the first time on my 50th birthday almost a year ago…- ironically I wore my only DELIVERANCE t-shirt to that show😂🤘🏼 I thought you might like to know that! God bless!

[@JimmyPBrownII]

How cool is that? Awesome! Thanks for digging the vids and podcasts! 😀

[@Wellingtonws]

Cara, o que me deixa mais admirado além do riff, é fazo-los e cantando ao mesmo tempo. Não tenho essa coordenação e a voz kksksk

[@blueskylizard1]

I love these videos 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@angellm1173]

Nice video! I need video about Megadeth Favorite Riffs! Greetings from México

[@alc8114]

Metallica is great, but I also have to say Deliverance is great too! “Ramming speed” is such a powerful song love the intro and also the drum beat at the end probably influenced by the movie “ben hur”! “Weapons of our warfare, “River disturbance”, “Learn”, “Stay of execution”, all great albums! Just to name a few! I actually think deliverance “intense records presents live”is the best out of all the intense series, and in my opinion the live version of “Stay” is better than the studio version!

[@mylesmilliman6166]

Dude, why have you not picked up a side gig as an audio book narrator? You've got the vocal tone for it for sure. If you have any inclination toward acting you might think about it. Beautiful gold-top btw. And you're so right about that descending march in "FWTBT", the first time I heard that part, man, I mean the neck muscles just take over and you can't stop it lol! What's beautiful about that is that they never come back to it the whole song. It would be so tempting to milk that across the track, but they just let it stand alone and live in those 8 measures for all time. Brilliant.

[@JimmyPBrownII]

Never thought about it. Would be cool to do.. thanks for the suggestion, I’ll look into that!

[@mylesmilliman6166]

@@JimmyPBrownII Cool. I'm the studio manager at an audio book company and we're always taking auditions. Hit me up on messenger if you want any tips and tricks. I expect that you've got everything at your home studio there that you would need to work remotely. Again, there's a fair amount of voice acting involved, but you don't know until you try! 👍

[@timmer110]

I've long felt that it's often not the intricacy of riff as it's the sound. Millions of people connect and feel and are influenced by the sound then as we play we get lost in the weeds of making everything complicated technical but how often does that end in multi platinum reception?

[@blueskylizard1]

Patiently waiting for the breathing still tutorial 😁😁

[@JimmyPBrownII]

I’ll get to it Brad! Now that I’m back at it again!!!

[@blueskylizard1]

@@JimmyPBrownII perfect!!

[@americanman1365]

We all know you can ROCK Jimmy! 😁

[@ErWo75]

Excellent video! You’re no slouch on rhythm either. In fact, you’re just as tight as Hetfield in my opinion.

[@JimmyPBrownII]

That is a high compliment! Thank you Ric!

[@JohnO318]

It's true. You are that good. I wonder what ever happened to Marcus Colon.

[@johnrichmond7739]

Even Phil Keaggy has slowed down a bit. He's approaching his 70's. Even Rex Carroll, Michael Sweet, and Oz Fox will eventually slow down. Everyone eventually does.

[@kennethm.3296]

Would you do a full cover track?

[@JimmyPBrownII]

Hi Ken. Actually released a full cover of Creeping Death! It went to my Patreon members. But we may release here on KZbin in video form soon! Thanks for watching!!! 😀

[@kennethm.3296]

@@JimmyPBrownII Welcome! Thanks so much for these KZbin post.
