What If Slipknot Wrote These Riffs?

[@peteplaysmusic]

Which riffs do you want to see next? :) Also, check out the Harley Benton Fusion III here: bit.ly/3rmOODS

[@outlaw13G]

Any new originals?

[@peteplaysmusic]

Yep, working on it :)

[@primus6677]

Metallica - Spit Out the Bone

[@Tragic_TV]

HEEEEEEEE’SSSSSS BAAAAACK

[@m1_garandmaster541]

Hey Pete can we get a Phantom Of The Opera rift?

[@JDizaster]

Slipknot doing Blind just sounds like Before I Forget 😂

[@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734]

Well, they’re both NÜ Metal bands, sooo.

[@andrewpappas9311]

You’re not wrong

[@Xeroforte]

​@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 that makes no difference, they sound alike because they sound alike. Plenty of nu metal bands sound different from each other.

[@Sleivi1]

Also because parts of the riff is exactly the same.

[@eeyorehaferbock7870]

@@XeroforteSlipknot were directly influenced by Korn early on, so there’s that.

[@BaenaCarcosa]

The Blind riff was so trippy haha, welcome back dude!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha, thanks buddy :)

[@colinhoffman9092]

Love that high pitched snare in the drums, reminds me a lot of how Joey's kit sounded

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! The kit preset I used is called SnotLip so I think they modelled it off of his kit :)

[@meffis_project]

I always do that snare in my music. I love it. I dont like modern drums that sounds all the same

[@Dyres-EvE]

the riffs by themselves sound great but the drum tracks in this vid really sell it absolutely amazing

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@metallixro]

All iconic riffs but 10/10 for including E1M1 !!!

[@DhavalVaghela56]

The Blind riff sounded like Before I forget in parallel universe!! 😄Love the tone on the video

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@EzeVentre]

Smoke on the Water sounds sick! Great to see you back 🤘🏻

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! It's very good to be back :)

[@eeyorehaferbock7870]

I can’t be the only one who thinks it sounds like the main riff from “Eyeless” but in reverse.

[@Rick951]

These all sound great. Just one issue with one of the suggestions. When played correctly, Smoke on the Water is not 035.

[@WeEatGhostsband]

In the style of Dillinger escape plan would be amazing id personally pay you to make that video

[@soulsearch13]

Same literally

[@eyeoeyeoash]

E1m1 lit gave me the biggest goosebumps! So sick

[@soggytatty3845]

Sup Pete! Good to see you again.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! It's good to be back! :)

[@GameDevMadeEasy]

I think... It is time... What if Pete Cottrell wrote these riffs?

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha thanks! I appreciate it :)

[@kasnitch]

Pete you are one masterful riffmeister .

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! I try my best :)

[@FizzyK-45]

Love this new format of the *1R20B* series, I love the Slipknot E1M1 Riff at 2:07, both Mick Gordon and Slipknot are amazing together. 😁

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! The regular 1R20B series will continue too, this is an additional series kinda like it where I can talk more with you guys :)

[@FizzyK-45]

@peteplaysmusic Sounds good to me, your music is always awesome to listen to. 😁 Edit: Btw forgot to add this but I wanna see you turn a pop punk riff into a metal riff, maybe like *Dammit by Blink 182* or *The Hell Song by Sum 41.*

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

I like the extra content watching you come up with a general idea. It takes skill taking the essence of 2 bands. Without context I'd have a good idea what you were trying to accomplish. Nice to see you back, looking forward to seeing more. 👍

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! I wanted to talk to everyone watching a bit more in these videos and show the process a bit :)

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

Yes Pete! Good to see you back and firing off the riffage. Hope you’re doing ok and look after yourself.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Good to be back :)

[@inkedhoney]

Good to see you back! The sound quality of your vids is awesome as always🔥 and from this vid, my fav riffs are probably Iron Man and Smoke on the water, so sick!

[@MrJeezus]

Dude, you're giving away some really sweet riffs.

[@benjaminprietop]

Good to se you back, Pete! So sorry for your loss, lots of strength for you and your family lml

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! It's good to be back :)

[@feduwtc]

this sounds crazy you perfectly captured what makes their simple riffs sound so agressive, i want a full version of Iron Man btw you should give us some tips on how to write a Slipknot style song, i'd love to know how you got your samples

[@Quiltfish]

Good to see you back! One band I never see considered for these kinds of things, and I think it should be 🤪, is Strapping Young Lad

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Oh I love Devin and SYL, this would be so cool! :)

That Korn Blind was epic dude !!

[@maidentallica]

Genuinely prefer this version of 5 Minutes Alone to the original, nice work chief!

[@robertdonosobuchner3129]

Really cool interpretations! The riffs sounding great. 🤘 Harley Benton gets better and better. I will try the Amarok 7 BKRD Quilted Burst....

[@robertlewis5447]

Bro when you did blind it literally sounded straight off of the self titled album 🔥

[@thektalks190]

I now want Slipknot to release an album of these covers... bonus if they can have Pete play on them as well

[@Orkam616]

it would be nice if this series have the same riffs for every band so we can compare between riffs

[@tbdaemon]

I don't have a riff suggestion but instead I have an "in the style of suggestion," and that's in the style of Meshuggah. Bust out that 8-string!

[@ekojar3047]

Dude, the Pantera and KoRn riffs are sooooooooooooo FN BA!! They both have that groove that even Slipknot has a hard time with in new music. They might need to Consult you for riffs! Those to have that classic Bounce to me and the drum work is on point to help bring out the important notes. And most importantly, it doesn't sound exactly like an old song, excluding the blind intro part, but it all makes up for it with those heavy groovy jams that follows! KoRn could take a note from this one too. In the modern age, Blind doesn't drop in and hit as hard as it did back in the day, but the intro will always be legendary. Just man!, great thought, and attention to detail, and feel for what sounds right man. 🤘

[@sirepaulos]

great to see you back

[@peteplaysmusic]

Good to be back :)

[@simonisalas]

smoke on the water, OMG you blow my mind and my ears bro ! amazing perfomance, SOunds like an 100% percent slipknot song !

[@MajorTomMusic]

Doesn't sound like Smoke On the Water, tho.

[@Mickocarbomb]

E1M1 is just if Mick Gordon joined Slipknot

[@robmortimer4150]

How about if Zeppelin wrote different metal riffs?

[@chriscuthbertson]

Blind sounds like Coal Chamber

[@jasonengland6372]

Pete nailed this

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@afouadwonderknuckles]

You missed an opportunity to write "Why Knot?" but we're gonna let it slide cause the riffs are sick!

[@gredangeo]

Blind was just simply Before I Forget. I guess that was bound to happen with a 023 riff in there somewhere. Lol.

[@peteplaysmusic]

It just worked so well haha :)

[@bjwaters]

Fun video idea, for sure, but I don't know how I feel about the flow. One of the things I liked about the 1 Riff 20 Bands video was how each style flowed, like it was all one big song. Now, I get that maybe you wanted to feature the riff normally first for each one so that folks could hear the difference, and I guess not everyone knows every riff. It just felt weird with the stop-and-start style. As for future video ideas, as a big power metal nerd, I think it would neat to hear riffs in the style of Helloween. Classic metal bands would be pretty entertaining as well (Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, etc.).

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! 1 Riff 20 Bands format will remain the same but for these ‘reverse’ ones I’m talking a bit more and showing the process a bit. Think of it as kind of a spin off. But yeah the regular 1 Riff 20 Bands will remain exactly the same :)

[@BoyAditya]

Noice!! Next ALL legendary riff in style of Pantera... You know... Since you have that floyd rose guitar 😁

[@ScarysReviews]

please do a What if Slipknot played Fear Factory ( Scapegoat, Replica, Edgecrusher, Linchpin, Cyberwaste) and What if Fear Factory played ( Surfacing, left behind, before I forget, Gematria, devil in I) since there's a couple connections between the bands.

[@gravelrhoads]

Great job! I always thought Black Sabbath and Slipknot would go great together. Also, I was thinking about buying that exact guitar.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with how that one turned out. And yeah, it's actually a real nice guitar. My only issue with it is the volume knob positioning but that's very normal for me haha :)

Blind by Korn in the style of Slipknot kinda slaps hard.... Like, you are middle of a fight just throwing punches, or killing monsters in a game! Suffice to say I loved that a lot! Speaking of slapping hard, how about different bands in the style of Gojira, or Meshuggah?

Right off the bat, your version of Iron Man sounds like the System of a Down version.

[@RagingEntertainment]

You should do Michael Jackson, Beat it, in the style of Slipknot.
