Why did you put in to list Instinct of Survival and From Enslavement to Obliteration? I like death metal, but this two songs are not death metal

All the Death riffs stick out a mile above all the other bands. Chuck was so ahead of his time. R.i.p

He was playing tech death before it was a thing.

My thought exactly. And Cannibal Corpse in brutality haha!

@@Vdoom777 do you mean in terms of his musicianship or personality?

[@Vdoom777]

@@blastradius7193 Musicianship. Death is boring. I can't bear to listen to them. They might be inferential in a way but man...they had nothing on Possessed, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Bathory, Morbid Angel, and so many other bands. Idk...I just don't get how people are enamored with Death. I listened to them over and over trying to understand but they are just boring.

Yeah but... Symbolic is 95 :/ So... No

[@ztack9019]

Completely random..but has any one heard of Morta Skuld?...I was just listening to their album dying remains..sick riffs and the lead guitarist has alot of melodic solos..just trying to put the album out their bcuz I swear no one talks about that band..the album came out in 93..it would be cool to see some of their content on this channel

[@SoundwaveMusic22]

man something about the Carcass riffs are just so unique, you instantly know it's them

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

Very true... one of my favorite bands. I seen em out here in hollywood, got a pic with jeff walker 😀

[@craigroaring]

The also tuned down lower than most very early.

[@InuranusBrokoff]

Jeff Hanneman, although not a death metal guitarist, wrote music that gave most of these guys nightmares.

[@luciferdzhugashvili]

InuranusBrokoff I think he invented death metal.

[@raumyurena5693]

Heavily one of the most underrated guitarist in metal...

[@Assimilator702]

luciferdzhugashvili The evil sounding riffs Hanneman wrote were undoubtedly a heavy inspiration for DM. There’s a fine line between the evil Thrash of Slayer and DM.

[@ezelandbechstein2083]

The riff-Smith...absolutely love what you do mate! Excellent vid, you got me easy learning classics like 'eyemaster' and '...for victory', just my generation, now purchased the old riot drums and beyond, thanks dude! Classic death/black metal; good taste

[@fredericogobbi]

nice that you remembered Sepultura Morbid Vision (Mayhen), because people forget that this album is one of the first records of Death Metal

[@futariTV]

Nice that you took Bolt Thrower several times. Now i am going to listen to Realm Of Chaos again ^^ But good choices in general. Thank you.

[@MalasangreHellion]

Glad to see some recognition for Necrophagia, then some Bolt Thrower. Good job.

[@jettrainbow]

9:06 and 13:43 are probably my two favorite classic death metal riffs.

[@Omnatten9]

I happened upon this by accident. Turns out I really enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@fractallightx]

3:27 "Regurgitated guts" by Death is one of my favourite death metal songs. The best part is the brutal melodic ending song riff (last 20 seconds). Iconic for me. I just close my eyes and see bloody undead massacre.

[@adityapathak4895]

Simon If you're reading this then I just wanna let you know that thank you so much for selecting these riffs. I always wanted you to play "Slowly We Rot" and "Sacrificial Suicide".I'm glad you did.

[@SensibleJones]

Great series Simon!! Also, thanks for the headsup about Ugritone!! Will have to investigate them further!!!

[@robsonqm]

Great job! Very nice selection, I may say. Hail from Brazil!

Bill Steer is one hell of a riff mmaster! an so was CHUCK!

[@Rebar77_real]

Anyone else have a riff they enjoy playing wrong? Wait don't shoot! I mean you learned the tabs without ever hearing the song. But you still enjoy the way you play it, maybe just because it's muscle memory at this point. I remember learning Suffer the Children wrong out of a magazine 25 years ago. It was the second tune to Slayer or Sepultura or something heavy. Anyway, my 14yr old dumbass never heard the song before but tried to figure out the tab anyway. Thought I had it half-figured out and liked shredding away with it. Ten years later I was mortified when I actually heard it the first time! I could recognize the chord order but my chugging was all over the place like it was my first wank after a week of church. I figured nobody ever recognized the song because they'd never heard it either, right? lmao. Hickville pre-internet suuucked. I still play it my dumbass way as a warm-up now and then. Thanks for reminding me of that Simon, great vid/list man. Cheers.
