Thanks for watching everybody! Which bands should I do next? Like the guitar tones? Check out STL Tones Amphub here: stlton.es/k

[@calebsunder]

Attila

[@lennartmittee5014]

Stone Sour :)

[@davibezerra5882]

In This Moment or Type O Negative

[@nikkmorse]

How about Metallica in the style of Amon Amarth, slayer, buckcherry, Steve vai, Jimi Hendrix 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@schecterseven3894]

Avatar.

[@kricorvo]

A friend of mine's father was the drummer for Bolt Thrower. It's awesome to see their style being referenced to this day! May he rest in peace. Martin Kearns!

[@davenelson8592]

Why have you never done one of these with the ten second songs guy? Seems like an obvious pairing!

[@harcrof2887]

That would be PERFECT

[@zaharya]

And also make a whole song in one of the styles!

[@zaharya]

This would be fun in style of Avenged Sevenfold... oh wait.

[@AlexPhantom1292]

This means war XD

[@dillonmacpherson3350]

When I listen to this means war all I head is "candy shop" by 50cent

[@stronk9760]

Dillon MacPherson lmao brooooo someone should make that mashup

[@rafaelcarmo5562]

I see what you did there

[@Xsyara]

Shiiiieeeettttt xD

[@thethrashyone]

Me: "I hope the Megadeth one is done in the style of Holy Wars." Also me, at 4:21 : 😌🤘

[@nigel7779]

sounds like he heard megadeth once and thought "ok just add nerd shit"

[@rstango]

The spiritbox one sounds amazing!

[@mrgreenfr6216]

Of course : it's Spiritbox!

[@tarquinball]

lowkey sounds like holy roller 😂

[@COG_]

@@tarquinball that's what I thought :D

[@craftcrate6602]

Omg Orbit Culture I had 0 expectations for that It's great to see them getting more recognition their such an amazing band Btw they actually have their own Sad But True called Mirrorslave, Niklas said he wanted to make a song like SBT and he did

[@metallicatTim]

I just recently discovered OC and they are quickly becoming one of my fav bands! Unbelievable I'd never heard of them before... Anyway, when the OC part came on, I actually guessed In Flames (I like to guess wich bands he plays, fun game!), but was pleasantly surprised it was OC! Awesome!

[@fabiolopes2271]

Im the one who suggested it to get more people into it, they need to blow up ASAP. lml

[@alexandrbarmakov3543]

How about asking other KZbin musicians play Your riff in Their style? I mean, there's bloody pandemic rolling through the streets, why not make a massive collaboration and all of them can post there perspective on this. We freaking love y'all, just help each other out and have massive fun...

[@skflwphgaawfas7402]

Lul, as if they would give a shit about some noones asking them to do sth, they've got a lot of both work and money to be bothered

[@DisturbedVette]

eblanator govna id do it

[@sunsetsmusic3792]

When Metallica plays there last show, they need the last song that they play to be "Hit The Lights".

[@JCDwyer]

I’m betting their last show was that drive-in thing.

[@masonmead9434]

JC Dwyer no way

[@JCDwyer]

Mason Mead dude I really hope you’re right. I just got some “over this” vibes at a lot of moments in that drive in film.

[@dl11]

Their*

[@justindenson5425]

I highly doubt the drive in show was the last. They'd likely do a farewell tour.

[@howlinhirshy8358]

1 riff 20 bands Beast and the Harlot a7x

[@loganblackfire7238]

Yes!

[@jmustang2000]

You could have done it in the style of Avenged Sevenfold and just played This Means War. 😂😂

[@shaggymotionless4269]

That's what I thought lmao

[@uj5436]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@harcrof2887]

He also missed an opportunity with Psychosocial, playing in the style of Metallica (St Anger Era) and literally just played Frantic lololol

[@cliffordpurk18]

Dude I love the fact you threw Bolt Thrower in there 😅 that's awesome! 🤘

[@Soloeagle54]

Wow, this was probably favorite one you've done by a long shot. So many good riffs. I really liked the Testament, Orbit Culture, and Shadow of Intent ones. I'd like to see Allegaeon make it in there one day

[@brokeTM]

Do a one riff 20 bands for Tool - Vicarious As for bands to do any riff: Mushroomhead Fallujah Boris Bongzilla Unprocessed Fellsilent Extol Deftones Sybreed Minus The Bear Genghis Tron ...

[@ttmcoffee6806]

Bolt Thrower and Megadeth were my favourites. As groovy as the original but each in a different way. Black Vail Bridges stands not far behind those though. Great job with all of them as usual :) I'd love to see Thank You Scientist in one of these someday ;)

[@ZethKeeper]

The Testament one could easily fit onto "Dark Roots Of The Earth" or "Brotherhood Of The Snake"! Great job, Pete!

[@nooralamgir3703]

Yes

[@jeepnut1]

Devin Townsend - The Hummer 🤣🤣🤣 I'm going to keep trying to get Extol in one of these. I also think Flogging Molly would be awesome. Alestorm got me thinking about Turisas. This is the series that keeps on giving!

[@bradponzar7733]

Square Hammer (Main Riff) In the style of: 1. Ghost 2. Metallica 3. Megadeth 4. Anthrax 5. Slayer 6. Static-X 7. Meshuggah 8. Death Decline 9. Korpiklaani 10. Soundgarden 11. Led Zeppelin 12. Motely Crue 13. Primus 14. Mr. Bungle 15. Deftones 16. The Offspring 17. The Smashing Pumpkins 18. Incubus 19. Limp Bizkit 20. Type O Negative

[@koffieverslaafde627]

Square hammer like the warmth - incubus tho

[@Javaisd3ad]

Square Hammer: South Park Style

[@Zelinecaa]

Still waiting for 1 riff 20 bands: Misirlou

[@momiamalvada1967]

I was expecting this means war by A7X in one point hahaha amazing video as always!

[@MAXXX1195]

Am i the only one to try to do it like a blind test each time ? Next riff suggestion : Insomnium - Weather The Storm

[@807ftn]

I love that you did The Hummer! Your facial expression, your pose; everything was perfect! How about Rivers of Nihil next? Do you have a sax?

[@dannybass2398]

One of the best and heaviest riffs from Metallica imo just got even better. Awesome video as always man can't wait for the next one

[@002nl]

Bolt Thrower and Testament were definitely my favorites. You should do more Animals As Leaders and Toska for the next time! Edit: I also digging the Shadow of Intent one, that was great!

[@s.n.8128]

Honestly, this feels so similar to repeating the same word over and over again, where it just loses all meaning. Man, this riff just goes further and further into the void of nothingness the more you listen haha.

[@mgrocki]

man, that tone is pure filth! love it! (PS - could've sworn Bolt Thrower was Pantera)

[@markcheetah4960]

I was gonna say Disturbed, lol

[@velizarzhelev6552]

Everything is pantera bro

[@clarathebandicute]

I'd love to see a making of one of these. How you pick the song, whether you go through deciding on styles whether you just think of different ways to play and who that artists could be or reverse.

[@gordontubbs]

The Obituary riff sounded like that could've been on St. Anger.

[@nikkmorse]

The beanie man strikes again with another awesome track...loved the status quo version 😁, again extremely awesome work 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

[@santinoruiz4689]

3:00 This sounds like train of consequences by Megadeth.

[@aleksanderwojczak765]

I didn't realize the potencial od this riff for modifications. Great video!

[@BozKiller]

Very very good. Testament, Rammstein, Obituary, Bolt Thrower, Ihsahn, CoB are spot on!!!

[@JimCyanide]

I'm still waiting for the day where you use a gojira riff for one of these

[@getchumped]

definitely

[@thanesmashmontages412]

There have been several. Watch older videos

[@getchumped]

@@thanesmashmontages412 of course there have been older videos, but new riffs in the style is always appreciated

[@benparsons4979]

flying whales could be good

[@kennethhuber3133]

just hit the high open stings in between the phrase

[@ShredMaster2010]

Lost it at the Willie Nelson head 🤣

[@guitaraholic83]

I wasn’t expecting that one at all. I liked it a lot!

[@CacklingAntagonist]

You absolutely nailed the Rammstein version dude.

[@Tarquin21723]

Rammstein officially has to cover Sad but True now. That was too awesome.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Do one for Thunderstruck and have a Dance Gavin Dance, August Burns Red, Veil Of Maya, Phinehas, The Black Dahlia Murder, Erra, Rise Against, Norma Jean, Every Time I Die, Thrice, Crystal Lake, Chon, Four Year Strong, Silent Planet, The Ghost Inside, Soilwork, Ice Nine Kills, Pvris, Converge, and Counterparts versions of them lol.

[@VasKurtas]

Yeah, and I would add BTBAM and Protest The Hero

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@VasKurtas Yes sir!!

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@VasKurtas Just edited the comment to get it to 20 bands btw lol I'd add them in maybe next time but I do remember BTBAM was in once. I wanna see some other bands on it.

[@VasKurtas]

Well, he did some bands more than twice, so...

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@VasKurtas Oh, I know. That's my point though, I think people are overkilling some of the same bands. Not so much BTBAM.

[@claudeman]

The Sultans of Swing main riff would be awesome to do. Also missed opportunity to play "This Means War" by Avenged Sevenfold lol

[@vasilyneganov3883]

Thanks a lot for doing these, Pete! These are great fun, really. Having seen 6 or 7 of these vids, I'm amazed at how you nail the characteristics of most bands in a single riff. I'm admiring your musical vocabulary and the clear breadth of taste. Keep up the good work, focus more on music and less on plain entertainment - there are far too many clowns on KZbin. Thanks again :)

[@wolvetica]

This would have been cool in the style of Alien weaponry

[@KevinKoolx]

That Killers riff was great !

[@genericguitarist141]

1 riff 20 bands, War Nerve by Pantera \m/

[@RitoruBorazaOfficial]

Pete, I really enjoy these. Thanks for doing them!

[@DaddyPoobs]

You should try doing a riff in the style of Psychostick. They've got some awesome poppin' bass lines!

[@milkoportti9240]

This video made me both crack up and subscribe :) Keep up the good work man. PS. I need a 7-string.

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

Totally nailed this! Loved the testament version. Thanks for adding orbit culture, I suggested that.

[@Composer_Ben]

So many good ones! I think my favorites were the Black Veil Brides, Status Quo, and Willie Nelson ones. The Willie Nelson version sounded like it was the original and Status Quo's was the old-school rock & roll cover that got even more popular. And it would be really cool to hear Project 86 as one of the band styles- or one of their songs done in various different styles.

[@MrMapacheco]

YOU MAD LAD PUT IN THE HUMMER BY DEVIN TOWNSEND!!! I'm rolling on the floor laugthing

[@BlakkMagicMan]

You NAILED that testament part dude. 🤌🤌🤘🤘

[@crashbangpow1649]

Great variety of bands in this one! Some I’ve never heard of that I will be checking out for sure!

[@brianmills5302]

This was cool as hell, thanks!

[@jalcmarek]

Awesome! :)

[@trebmaster]

Did he ever do a Dropkick Murphy's one yet? Since we're dipping outside of metal now.

[@savagelouie7007]

Dude, You have real talent! It's amazing!

[@antoninastor4537]

please Tesseract

[@Tach4nk4]

A riff in the style of Voivod would be neat

[@pepsi3005]

We need a Pete Cottrell and 10SecondSong collaboration

[@davidlopes2459]

Hey Pete! Can you do a vid on your picking technique? Love the vids!

[@Ando2k10]

Great video. How about using some of these for future videos? Fates Warning, Hatebreed, Taproot, or 3 Inches of Blood. All of them would be a good style to use, or have great songs to which to apply 20 styles.

[@lestersmart8452]

Your Guitar is so sick brother!!!! I have a red and black Celebrity electric guitar and Spider amp.

[@JohnPaulHare]

Was not expecting BVB in there, but damn! Jake and Jinxx are extremely talented guitarists whose work I enjoy very much, despite the hate they get. It's dumb that they got written off by the haters for their first album, because everything since then has been great (although I couldn't get into Vale, since it isn't a style I normally would listen to). Their rerecording of We Stitch These Wounds is amazing, though, a testament to how much they've grown in ten years or so.

[@Jopeymessmusic]

Ha! The bolt thrower one just sounded like a normal bolt thrower riff. Such a great band.

[@Wind-nj5xz]

5:23 I thought it was Sunn O))) for a moment

[@mortfinis]

Glad to see Orbit Culture is getting out there, such an amazing band!

[@robbophysique1495]

Testament, Bolt Thrower, Obituary & Megadeth were awesome (also props for doing Alestorm, good meme)

[@jordanpantaleo554]

That was a funny nod to some of Devin Townsend's more obscure work.

[@eddiehardt1260]

Shadow of Intent, Alestorm, and Children of Bodom were awesome! We need more of the Shadow of Intent style ones.

[@jaschul]

Please do Soundgarden's "Outshined" or "Spoonman" in 20 styles!

[@mr_dances]

Necrophagist's Seven in 20 styles?

[@TiasHere]

Necrophagist's Seven but it's The Beatles.

[@TheDoctor420]

Appreciate the status quo riff. You should do the next video about them next

[@asp3132]

1 riff 20 bands, Iron Maiden Powerslave. UP THE IRONS!

[@summondarkness]

BEST ONES : EVANESCENCE 2:04 BOLT THROWER 2:57 OBITUARY 3:33 MEGADETH 4:21 (MY FAV) BVB 5:57 YOURE FUCKING WELCOME I SCREAM BECAUSE I CAN

[@sohammakar2998]

ABR's 'The Frost' in the style of 20 bands ?

[@SamuTheFrog]

The evanescence one was pretty rad sounding

[@Tangakkai]

Nice! was expecting some Fear Factory and/or Sepultura Style as well tho!

[@idanshahar]

GREAT JOB!! Really good playing and mix :) Also, nice to know my ML7 PRO can handle a low G..

[@goodolddoug889]

Now I have to look up Bolt Thrower because that version was just awesome

[@cloud1641]

Testament sounded amazing \m/

[@johniadanza5213]

That fuckin sure is their heaviest riff & it sounds great that was one of the riffs I used to jam on my squire through the 30watt Peavy anp I had...- with my best friend who is a drummer. Thankfully I had 2 distortion pedals to slap the gain up into the sky the riffs sounded great & then I'd just stop and hold the strings while soynds came out in a piercing wailof feedback

[@johniadanza5213]

Blackened is pretty sweet too, though & ONE is good shit to play with others

[@jaredgreen5305]

Hands down Pete, you write some of the catchiest fuckin' Riffs I can find on the net brother!!

[@Slevinlobell]

That Willie Nelson one was sick,lol

[@lukavoutilainen7884]
