The Black Dahlia Murder's Brandon Ellis - Rifflist

[@jailenbailey]

I love how TBDM allows him to experiment and use his skills. His technique is amazing!

[@dt7667]

His warmup is my lifetime apex.

[@loumonte658]

Ratt riffs are underrated.

[@willparker547]

Robbin Crosby is to

[@zman2205]

Ratt are underrated in general

[@ThiagoHatematter]

Word

[@elraiser4331]

There's just something about 80's riffs and downtuning that just hits some kind of spot for me.

[@Icedsymphony7]

The creavitvity of the 80s and the down tuning is perfection just proves that well wtitten songs,solo,riffs will always be timeless

[@drewharrito5705]

100%

[@loumonte658]

Yes indeed.

[@Ecclesiastes11718]

The ease in which this guy plays is scaring me

[@8luntman]

that child of night riff is one of my favourite ever riffs

[@depshallburn]

Already said this but that's a pretty Verminous guitar

[@darkmotherboard272]

totally!

[@michael-tx8rw]

the riff from the wereworm's feast is sick. when its playing at the end of the song in context

[@DeathMetalHakan]

I still go nuts every time that riff comes up. It's just so damn good

[@sinsidious6663]

He’s not the guitarists that we asked for… he’s the guitarists that we needed 🤘🏻

[@efimc1714]

Omg, his favourite riff is lay it down. Warren demartini is one of the greatest guitarists of 80s. So underrated

[@austindurham5736]

Ratt and dokken and those 80s dudes had the sickest riffs. The last tbdm riff he played reminds me of exodus. Fucking shit is rad.

[@44SuperShredder]

Never seen lay it down played that way sounds good

[@Anthony-nk4ky]

It’s crazy how quickly he made it fit the tuning Bc the original is drop d and he was in C standard

[@yonikup2865]

My favourite modern guitar player and quickly becoming my all time favourite 🤘🏼

[@pencilsandwich]

So stoked for that dude! One of my favorites.

[@rsbreth]

Hell yeah on the Queensryche riff.

[@tylerpendley2389]

This was so sick. That dude is cool

[@Ishbu101]

This guy is one of my new fav guitarists.

[@saintlotus93]

Brandon has to be my favorite modern guitarist. May be because we have the same favorite guitarists and influences, so a little biased lol.

[@hamburginimercy]

the fact that he played that riff from queensryche makes me fucking love that guy. such an underrated band across the board (new shit not that good) but I grew up on basically nothing BUT queensryche and they are the basis of everything I love about music

[@T-roccBABY]

Here's hoping he'll end every show with My Heart Will Go On

[@Dnll88]

Awesome!

[@havoc2431]

Brendan seems like a genuinely nice dude.

[@fedb9131]

That chord he played for his favourite chord gave me insane mayhem vibes :D

[@KHETTIUS]

Loving that Jackson Kelly!.

[@JokerCat9]

Love how he blends 80's guitar with death metal

[@michaelmueller8746]

That was good guitar world do more stuff like that. 👍

[@MrHobbitton]

His warm up is my struggle

[@kendalgrace9584]

That Smoke On The Water though.... fucking killer 🔥🔥

[@conorheduvan]

Serious Freak Kitchen vibes off that Verminous riff!

[@ghostchants]

During my first listen of Verminous that riff from The Wereworm's Feast was the thing that really stuck with me. Damn I love these sounds here too. So raw but clear.

[@IgnacioCentu96]

That last riff sounds so revocation I fucking love it

[@Mintzer0]

Brandon is so fuckin sick

[@joeyatkins1504]

He’d be the perfect guitarist for ozzy !

[@OnePlickyDood]

$haron would ruin him.

[@santoslhalper6116]

Man. This guy.

[@BigMuff75]

Wow, Queensryche! (Boomer here.) :D

[@Stanowar]

Supercool!

[@mikepaz8322]

I did enjoy it lol love the pinkie warm up! Challenge accepted!🌵🎸

[@Alexanderius]

Why the guitar is not tuned properly?

[@danielepiazza126]

what's your favourite riff of all time?

[@saltpeter7429]

Is he still in Arsis? Or permanently with the Black Dahlia Murder? Great player. I love Arsis , was hoping he wasnt done working with James Malone.

[@skate4slayer]

Ya that child of night riff is sick

[@romandevengenzo4267]

If the original version of Smoke on the Water sounded that rad I would’ve learned it a long time ago 🤘🏻

[@thrasher5122]

First time ive seen lay it down played that simple!!! Usually is a hard riff to play

[@renecruz8973]

Dude I've seen you many times here at SF Metal shows, your fucking awesome⸸666⛧🎻🪕🎸🥁🤘👨‍🎤👩‍🎤🤟

[@MegaJiiRo]

That guitar looks sick. I could never play that though. I need 2 pickups

[@ProfHojo-]

titanic theme 🔥

[@Jakblade]

Wereworms feast riff is nAAAASTTYYY 👍

[@aamado1013]

Imma use that chord now haha

[@michaelclark642]

what was that pedal tone riff he played??

[@germanandreagiri3079]

I was looking for something related to that. It sounded great. It must be something he developed, probably he`s just descending through all the shapes of the scale (I`m guessing Em, or Cm, more accurately) using the highest note of that pattern as the pedal note for that string. I guess we will have to slow it down and figure it out by ourselves.

[@OnePlickyDood]

1:58 my hands hurt!

[@Twobarpsi]

My warm up, 6 shots and a beer.

[@mustbewasabi]

that's his favourite riff he has ever created? wow

[@themightymcb7310]

Check it out in context. You'll understand.

[@mantistoboggen7181]

what happened to ryan knight ...????

[@EmmanuelGonzalez-pw5eu]

Gone

[@JonnySublime]

I definitely didn't think he knew the theme from Titanic.

[@D2ezbmu]

Too cool and too good lol

[@TheKingofTheSwing]

Teach me the ways of the gutair gods plz I suck

[@maverikotonashi]

Puro pinche Jackson

[@practiceeveryday1]

Ratt rocks 🤟

[@JFD18]

Metal smoke on the water

[@headphonesz6527]

I didn't hear the Titanic music at all. Not even close to that lol

[@chriskimmel7252]

Yes it was. I heard it

[@nckhed]

Different tuning made it sound different.

[@chadsmit1085]

After the Space Aids pandemic has ended and it's safe to tour again, you've got to end every TBDM show with MT Heart Will Go On...not the band, just you lol.

[@Jakblade]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Sparrow-Music]

Watch his eyebrows

[@kungfuman82]

I'm glad that after years of shitting on 80's guitarists during the grunge, nu-metal, alternative era's that today's guitarists who don't even mention that stuff are getting the limelight again. It's all a bit cathartic.

[@Noir_grace]

Ему нормально играть с одним хамбакером? Это ограничение потенциала

[@toysamurai6858]

when smoke on the water is played better then ritchie blackmore in 1000 lifes more

[@craigdobson9068]

Really surprised that a guitar player like Brandon, who I've seen nail covered solos perfectly... plays Smoke on The Water and Lay it Down wrong 😂

[@yevgeniybondar5341]

He plays Smoke on the Water totally incorrectly. That's hilarious.

[@danawakes2001]

When you wanna play an Yngwie lick but sounds terrible

[@jakesaylor3646]

Lame?

[@gyberic]

The answer to your question is no
