Tune low. Chug Slow.

[@cosmo.genesis]

+Rob Scallon Man the riffs you make. I worship you.

[@8stringsofdeath72]

+Rob Scallon How on earth do you mix so that 9th string doesn't play the brown note? Seriously tho... riff 3 might make someone poop.

[@followfornothing]

Brown Note Win by Forfeit.

[@AntropoxShredder]

+Rob Scallon You guys should get Pete Cottrell in on this!

[@followfornothing]

Phillip Sullivan And Ola Englund

[@JHSmithmusic]

That moment when you realize that rob scallon is so good that he doesn't even need to plug into an amp.

[@DRT-81]

Josh Smith was wondering if i was the only one to see that ...

[@theheretic5559]

Josh Smith he is the amp

[@kalebpaulinusbaraparatu7157]

USB Amp? 😂

[@bbqchickenrobot3]

Wireless system?

[@samwardonline]

Pre-recorded tracks?

[@wtalking1]

you went all the way to chicago for that little cameo lol

[@wtalking1]

+Ryan “Fluff” someone has to point out the obvious

[@JulianWorden]

+William Talkington thats not what he meant at all lmfao

[@screamsofinsanity]

+Ryan “Fluff” Bruce also for the Chicago pizza right?

[@8stringsofdeath72]

+Ryan “Fluff” Bruce Off topic.... but have you ever heard of Paul Wardingham? The dude is blowing my mind.

[@nickleek2364]

They also colabed on other videos too

[@dennisfeijns2804]

Rob's first riff is so good!

it reminds me of the riff "Love" by strapping young lad

[@agustincasciero]

It has that Gojira feel and I love it!

Rob is just too crazy and powerful, it cannot be helped

[@daytontapert2465]

at 1:30 the sickest riff of the whole video

[@rikkezxz3616]

Sorry im late but do you know what riff that?

[@streicherPRIV]

RikkeZx Z Sorry im late, that riff is out of robs album „The scene is dead“ and the song is called „the dial“

[@carazy123_]

Betttt

[@simbathegermanshepard9564]

riff wars with the doo

[@taxidermy8800]

Just ask him to play hotline bling and they won.

[@gingythescot1161]

craig seddon rob would win :P

[@XXSSGOKUXX123]

craig seddon YES

[@drewbayless9069]

Doo would win

[@MistaSnowman28]

The facial expressions on Fluff's and Jared's face, during Rob's 9-string thall riff, were priceless!!! Hard to explain to my co-workers of why I'm in tears laughing over this video!!!

[@muenchhausenmusic]

Hahaha, yeah, the concept of this and Riff War 3 is just awesome!! With Fluff and Jared taking turns to play the hype man, plus the fact that they chose players who I think they'd agree that their riffing is more imaginative than their own's, but that they regardless prop up their team mate when he's playing a fairly generic riff. Rob's acting as well. This all combines into just plain dope entertainment! The whole thing with the 8 string is the cherry on top. Love it!

[@anonimo120797]

I'm impressed with the gain of that Telecaster

[@temitopefalade700]

Sebastián Was right next week!!!

[@roosolini7105]

Probably put some pickups in it that can metal.

[@ghost.of.aleksz.salad.]

Rob won 1 and 2 but Jared's riff on 3 was sick

[@DanLeafMan]

+ghost of aleksz salad but was it played on a 9 string........

[@themunt4241]

+ghost of aleksz salad Rob won the first one, Fluff the second, Jared the third.

[@TheTrophyCollective]

I agree

[@thomazbarreto7322]

On the third one Rob out-djented them. No arguing boys, it's over. You can't handle the djeny.

[@hatred9427]

Cursed comment: When Rob plays, pull down your pants and look at Jared and Fluff.

[@kinniecas9004]

Leel André LOOOL

[@sikguy9939]

I did this at jared's last riff

[@marcoesposito8753]

What the fucc

[@m.maddix2130]

1:46 That's Jared's "The 'Music Major'" Riff from his "10 ways to hold a guitar (for beginners)" video, but slightly slower :D I love that one!

[@gabrielhole-jones2547]

+M. “MadMaddix” Maddix I'm pretty sure the first riff was his "Alcohol" riff from guitarists on drugs lol.

[@TristanCorbellari]

That's a recurring riff Jared seems to use a lot in his videos

[@gabrielhole-jones2547]

Tristan Corbellari Yeah, I saw it again in "15 styles of metal (in 60 seconds)".

[@Julian66666666666666]

he used in his video intros for a long time, but tuned lower

[@thebigfluff5415]

M. Maddix same

[@Off3er]

Robs round 2 riff is freaking outstanding! damn!!

[@erisibrahimi1650]

It just sounds so unique

[@rikkezxz3616]

Is that some band riff?

[@argetect2847]

Rob's definitely got the most original sound/phrasing. Jared I would say is the most sellable. I think his round 1 could easily be a pop metal song, FFDP or the like, or maybe some good title screen music in a game. Always a special place in my heart for Fluff's style though. Really cool thrashy sound. All rad musicians.

[@kudagenit]

+Arg Etect TOTALLY AGREED THAT JARED IS THE MOST SELLABLE. Still wondering why he's the least productive of those three. Some band should hire Jared to write 'em sick riffs. You know, both the surface and the underground are currently sinking down by monotony. The citizen of the Internet world approve.

[@attilafelfoldi1057]

Rob's round 2 was awesome. And those Schecters look and sound amazing as Schecters always do

[@metalhusky]

[ROUND 1] Rob , [ROUND 2] Flüff , [ROUND 3] Jared

[@BatuhanErol]

does Rob take his power from the cap?

[@taxidermy8800]

That would explain why he always looks tired in the few photos of him without the cap.

[@elnegrito1379]

its blessed by the gods

[@DaRKSMuRFz]

must be his night cap...

[@AEarls1015]

Yes.... He actually has no scalp. It's fused into his jead like Joe Dirts mullet.

[@adamridds978]

Watch the S C A L L O N W A V E video to see what goes on underneath the hat.

[@ThePonchov2]

Rob first round won it all

[@svenjansen2134]

Totally.

[@Boogerslov]

2nd is what really destroyed it in my opinion, that sound is fuckin gorgeous

[@mdstevens0612]

If these three if collabbed and did an EP together, I would buy the shit out of it.

[@Metaljesuslol]

That djent at the end. was so........ HEAVY!

[@fuckgoogle9236]

The last riff is the best. A technical masterpiece.

[@dead.asf_]

About time for another riff wars

[@oimss2021]

rob's first riff is insanely magic

[@bargoldstein4898]

next battle: Jared, Fluff, Rob, Stevie T

[@47tilinfinity29]

Rob.

[@thatdirtyninja5829]

Stevie T is a boss

[@abedinsubashi]

What about Davie504

[@bryantmeadowsofficial2834]

Rob and Davie504 did a string battle!! It continued 2 videos

[@huskasinanovic5038]

How about Davie?

[@rj9959]

2:29 That sounds like a fresh poo falling on the moist forest floor of leaves

[@prognosis77]

its a 3 way tie, the ending is priceless..... ha ha Jerk!!!!

[@XOreoAndMilkX]

Jared's first riff was an instant win. Awesome!

[@inzz6016]

Anyone have the tabs? The key on my guitar broke and i get confused. I know it's in a drop tuning at least

[@Geoxor]

2:22 "djerk" xd

[@noname-ng6sj]

ncs btw hahahahaha

[@alexandrtsvetkov7715]

WOW!!! Geoxor!)

[@agustinramirezpena9262]

I love the first riff of Jared Dines !!!! It was awesome !!! and Rob Scallon is Incredible !!! they are amazing musicians !!! Thank you guys for keeping music (and rock genre) alive!!!

[@BrandonBurch]

Best yet!! Rob wins!

[@loganthewanderer9789]

i love riffs over solos. the riff is the milkshake, the solo is just the cherry on top

[@AdamFaulkner375]

Am I the only one who wants to see a collaborative between these 3 and Glenn Fricker? I'm thinking Jared on drums and Vocals, Glenn on bass (for the lolz), Fluff on rhythm and Rob on lead. Recorded by Glenn (or in your individual lairs if need be, but let's face it, Glenns drums are the bomb), mixed by Fluff (with Glenn sticking his nose in every 5 seconds). I think it would make for an awesome range of videos and a great song to boot.

[@gabrielhole-jones2547]

+Adam Faulkner Nah, have Davie on bass (but he doesn't write much metal, so have Rob or Jared write his part), then let Glenn do the drums, and then it'd be easier to play live.

[@_guitarjun_]

Fucking love Rob

[@oldchanel3956]

1. Rob 2. Rob 3. Jared

[@honeybadger1522]

Yes totally agreed!

[@dreamblack1124]

This is one the most amazing vldeos I’ve ever watched in KZbin. 2nd, 4th and 5th rlffs are perfect.

[@PuddleBooks]

Holy fuck fluff is at the top of his mixing game as of lately.

[@dethbubblez]

Loved the cherry on top when fluff walked through the door saying "jerk" lol

[@wheresallthezombies]

is there some kind of hot rails in that tele? it sounds and looks super badass

[@OAK_MTN]

+Ryan Bruce (“Fluff”) Lace for life !

[@wheresallthezombies]

wait so maybe I'm confused, but isn't a hot rails a humbucker in a single coil casing? cause i looked at the lace website and I'm prett sure it just those were just noiseless tele pickups. but maybe I'm wrong

[@SantomPh]

+wheresallthezombies hot rails are called 'stacked humbuckers' ( magnets on top of instead of beside each other) . While they offer hum noise cancelling they aren't as powerful unmodified.

[@topheytophezz]

+wheresallthezombies i think it's the Richie Kotzen signature tele: richiekotzen.com/gear/

[@wheresallthezombies]

Christophe Larmoyer its not. its just a mexican tele

[@KlowdZzz]

Fluff dancing in the back was the cherry on top.

[@Justic3h]

Fluff’s riffs are often very similar. Even in riff war 3

[@TheWarrior39]

first riff of rob scallon was from his video "envy" . Always thought that riff is awesome and deserves a vocal on it. Nice work.

[@haraldeavtraches1598]

I need more of what Rob played in round 2 in my life.

[@funfades101]

agreed, I keep rewatching this video just for that part

[@haraldeavtraches1598]

I commented six days ago and now I'm doing exactly that, again. Rob, new song, dude. You've already written the main riff.

[@joejoecreampuff1912]

The Red Shore. Every on of there rifts sounds like that of their latest album.

[@0ovtcharov0]

The metal with capo in fret 14 riff sounds similiar

[@cameronbangasan5060]

You Guys Always Make Me Smile thank you.

[@jonahperrin3701]

I bet the last thing wasn't even about the 9 string riff, it was about Rob making Fluff mix his 9 string with EMG's, shitty thing to do

[@jakob4414]

0:47 robs riff is amazing

[@poohandler8646]

Fluff just plays KSE and Throwdown

[@calebbourguignon8737]

KSE?

[@poohandler8646]

+Caleb Bourguignon Killswitch Engage

[@superssjtrunks2]

basically every fluff riff ever

[@super_guitar_dude7954]

Rob's riff in the first round wins the entire video if you ask me! love these vids

[@FluffArchives]

Fluff: Jerk. Rob: *Looks at the door like wtf?*

[@trevor_btg]

I love that Rob turns everything metal!

[@dave6564]

how to lose a Riff Battle, go up against Rob Scallon :)

[@ElMamuco]

Fluff and Jared won all of them. Great riffs!

[@denma1778]

The funniest part is when Fluff appears and say "jerk" lol

[@ezeluisoyola771]

My face melted with Rob's last riff...

[@Logstudent1988]

this here is my heaven... i love riffing and writing riffs but everyone wants only the solos.. which i really hate.. specially when it goes way up in notes and starts squeaking..

[@jakethornton7]

+omar khan ahmad Wait you hate solos and pinch harmonics? Man, I guess there's no accounting for taste.

[@Logstudent1988]

I don't hate them. it's just i don't really love them. pitch harmonics is okay with me as long as the riff is really good.

[@Logstudent1988]

agreed some solos are so original the shatter the ground.

[@NaztyHabit]

That low tuning at the end just fucking kills it!!!!!!!!! It makes me curious what all the other riffs would sound like in that tuning haha, awesome job guys, really loving all these riff videos!

[@joeburden9426]

The Scallon Slay.

[@SalswkangJamatia]

Do more of Riff Wars Fluff. We miss this!

[@judgevongrudgenstein3112]

rob won em all!

[@AquaMunkee]

LOL! You guys are a riot (and all sick guitar players too)! When Scallon pulled out the 9-string and his camera started shaking from his riffage I literally fell over laughing.

[@TynoGH]

dat music major though

[@LabyrinthOfEyes]

Love the first riff Jared played. That tele sounds amazing.

[@cjblalala2063]

neeed more asap

[@LtKamarov]

+Ryan “Fluff” Bruce still need moar!

[@ctskifreaks]

The way Jared pops up behind Fluff at the start of Round 2 - so good

[@th3coolkiller]

DUDE ROBS FIRST RIFF AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH SO FUCKING GREAT...PLS MAKE A SONG

[@Finalform]

Best battle ever. Period.

[@willukyagronk]

fluff's riff sounded a lot like killswitch engage

[@ozzyboy178]

The beginnings like those old video games we had when I was a kid

[@Rawnfella]

Short hair suits you well, Fluff.

[@kerryymm]

5 years later and this video still makes me laugh when Rob busts out the 9-string :D

[@thedumpingground5565]

1:47 The "Music Major" Any Jared fans will know what I'm talking about. :)

[@brandonanderson2066]

Fluffs riffs may have been my favorite this round.

[@itsmedeville4465]

i neeeeeeed the cords of Jareds first round pls :D

[@crypticcuppa7722]

Kurolaiho Deville likewise

[@weezyjb1762]

love this fluff hypeman and rob just rippin it

[@Metalman38]

it was a tie until Rob whipped out the ol' 8 string and for that I have to give this one to Jared

[@Aichomancer]

In the last round he got out a 9 string. He was still playing competently with the 8 string. In fact with his 8 string he blew Jared and Fluff right out of the water.

[@killjoy4119]

Gonna have to agree on that one

[@masterbeat04]

*Djared

[@Kingovcurses]

Joseph Irvin didnt Rob start with a 7?

[@Aichomancer]

At 1:28 it was like truly discovering the meaning of life and the universe because that riff was so good.

[@Ozzmaster2112]

is it just me or is that first riff that Fluff plays entirely incoherent? The notes really seem to just run and smudge together in that one

[@JakeMoresea]

Nah. It sounded just a tad blurry, yeah, but that's because of the way he was playing, which wasn't incorrect. It sounded like a very Five Finger Death Punch like riff.

[@RookieTiger]

Fluff and Jared definitely won this one. XD I loved that first riff.

[@theunwelcome]

the origin of the thall that killed Riff Riffson!

[@yaboirico5221]

xD

[@evancaulin9603]

i love the 1st riff. thats sweet mr. dines. kip on burning fluff

[@XeviousGames]

lol none of rob's guitar are plugged

[@vovanvovanovich8670]

First Rob Scallon's riff was so good that it need to be a full song

[@Jack-qn6jb]

i swear jared and fluff just use the same riffs all the time or that they just all sound the same

[@srgt.nobody6560]

Nobody told me fluff was here, he's one of my top 10 favorite guitarist on youtube.

[@Blasulz1234]

I think rob won in round two and three

[@JZWPikaNozna]

Second round from Rob was beyond awesome

[@packiemcreary7188]

Jared definitely had the best riffs

[@1COMIXMAN]

omg the look on jareds face as he clutched his stomach. yeah that rob played would definitely scare the neighbors.

[@blackjackmcgack]

This would be awesome if they challenged new youtubers like chappers and ola and shit Although they wouldn't challenge ola, they'd get rekt

[@johnpinneriv9958]

Rob's faces at Jared's playing in round 1 were priceless.

[@AMB666]

Rob Scallon enjoyed being unplugged lol

[@aidanryanmusic1537]

weirdly enough like you can still hear the subtle things in each riff that makes each guy unique.

[@samslammer2001]

Scallon for sure! But that Schecter blew my freaking mind at the end!!

[@kristofkocsis9716]

I just want to hear a "full version" of the first thing... Dayum!

[@justinshah1147]

Love the last part with Rob Scallon !!!!!!

[@-CYFR-]

That's the meatiest sounding Telecaster I've ever heard.

[@elefsidi]

It's the Richie Kotzen signature. Helluva beast of a guitar, that is.

[@HulktastickFTW]

The riff on the 8 string was awesome
