I know there's waaay more songs that use this exact riff, so mention them here. WATCH PART 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZjRZXRroLudiLs

[@RaVirrTheTrader]

Arch Enemy - The Eagle Flies Alone (The intro, kinda...?) Lazarus AD - Last Breath (also kinda maybe...?) Shadow of Intent - The Shaping Sickness (verses) Orden Ogan - To The End (also probably not...if anything, these are just radical songs)

[@jojoplaysmusic]

@@RaVirrTheTrader There's a looooot of riffs that also sound kinda similar lol

[@RaVirrTheTrader]

@@jojoplaysmusic But never too many lol

[@user-jo5vy8iw3l]

​@@RaVirrTheTrader Darkest Hour-With A Thousand Words To Say But One (intro riff) A Day To Remember -A Shot In The Dark (intro as well) All That Remains -Chiron (verse riff) August Burns Red -Meddler (intro again) Bury Tommorow -Casting Shapes

[@scifiordie]

"this exact riff" clickbait title, beside using pedal point most of these riffs are clearly different, I would never confuse one for the other, you can't believe they are the same lol

[@raven4404]

The Eagle Flies Alone by Arch Enemy is literally the Dismember riff.

[@HiFugly]

I was thinking that exact same thing lol

[@followthereaper665]

Mind blown

[@februalist4686]

Wuuut da heeeeelll

[@fullmetalguy8357]

Mike Amott is essentially writing in circles at this point.

[@broncoxy]

Electric Eye is an absolute banger tho

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Of course

[@DemonDethchase]

I remember years ago coming across a cover of Doomsday Zone, from Sonic & Knuckles, and towards the end they randomly go into Electric Eye. Why...? Who cares, its awesome!

[@alyona2222]

The poison, Rose of Sharyn and Like light to the flies are amazing

[@BodaciousWickerman]

Yep! My teen years!

[@LimitlessPotential12]

TBDM riff had me checking if the video speed was actually at 1 because I thought that shit was sped up. Super tight man

[@BelfryClock]

A metal KZbin channel covering MCR? I knew it had to be thank you for the venom

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Well yeah, I love MCR

[@DimaNSK-vy4br]

This is not MCR this is MDM with breakdown. ​@@jojoplaysmusic

[@edixonramirez1628]

That “the poison" riff is one of My favorite guitar seccions ever

[@elephantt2077]

Glad that Dismember is included here. More ppl need to listen to them

[@sn00k24]

I'll be honest I don't think these sound that similar at all but I love all of them

[@adhitandroid667]

Love and thumbs up for Intestine Baalism 👍🤌

[@IrlylikeInFlames]

OUR BOY FINALLY DID IT 🤧 🥲

[@sangramos]

@@IrlylikeInFlameswasn’t expecting to see them at all. Super happy

[@diabeticmonkey]

I still have yet to learn that MCR riff. When I was younger, that album was a huge guilty pleasure as a metalhead, and I never expected to hear a riff that technical on it.

[@Ashleighh999]

I haven't even watched the whole video and I know you're talking about Thank You For The Venom lol

[@Tragic_TV]

Spirit crusher by Death has a part where it sounds super similar to all of these songs

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Yep, it's in part 1

[@henrywalton5967]

Damn it you beat me to it

[@Tragic_TV]

@jojoplaysmusic not suprised you already new abt it :)

[@MarieTheDork]

The way you played that MCR riff made it sound like it came from a power metal band lol

[@petertobin2219]

Wow intestine baalism no one ever mentions them well done

[@jojoplaysmusic]

They had to be included

[@Nathan-zs9uq]

It’s a shame I won’t be able to see the video live, but I’ll surely watch it soon. You’re an excellent guitarist, I enjoy your content

[@jojoplaysmusic]

No worries! Thank you so much!

[@onlyasmr733]

MCR introduced me to this riff

[@coolbugfacts3953]

so many bangers in this one gotdamn

[@GallinitaChismosa]

The first riff of Judas priest made me remember the song Evolve - The Warning (band of three sisters from MX)

[@omerinyarrisko]

TBDM - Closed Casket Requiem best version of this riff

[@td601]

Word

[@coolbugfacts3953]

it goes so unbelievably hard

[@satanicpuppyoverlord9054]

intestine balism rep!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

You already know!

[@user-gi1dm4vz8r]

Intestine Baalism to the masses!! IMO the only band, which albums can be compared to Crimson (from melodeath obviously)

[@UnlistedThrash]

Beloved Horrifier by Revocation is also very similar to Electric Eye

[@RickHardcore]

Very well played!!🎸Love your sound!

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Thank you!

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

They're the riff-gifts that keep on givin' 🤘😁🤘

[@jojoplaysmusic]

literally lol

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@jojoplaysmusic 🤣

[@angelcarvallo8546]

Waiting for In Dying Days by As blood runs black (or pretty much anything off their album allegiance)

[@donskii3609]

Leaders are hard to come by🗣️🔥

[@FairyCRat]

I was expecting that 5-7-8 lol

[@mutantkoffee]

Well techincally is transposed,its in the VII position, so its 7 - 9 - 10

[@followthereaper665]

Good way to discover new music!

[@joshbaldwin42]

Pretty sure your mom is the most played riff.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Ok that’s a good one

[@playdiscgolf1546]

In Drop D

[@66aviv66]

Veil of maya - It's torn away - 3:53 also has this RIFF

[@joseblanco9045]

Thanks Sir. Thanks to you I Discovered fascinating music

[@jojoplaysmusic]

My pleasure :)

[@unstable.musician]

Loving the new sound with them fishman pickups

[@mutantkoffee]

A7x Unholy Confessions

[@cru2006]

That's in part 1, this video is part 2

[@mortals94]

Magnolia Éclair - Guilty Gear Xrd

[@leblon712]

Tu es fantastico como siempre

[@sangramos]

Omg wasn’t expecting to see intestine baalism in here! Such an incredibly underrated band holy shit

[@glaciiz]

Futureal by Iron Maiden also uses this riff

[@mihaibulubasa7786]

u can add blood of the scribe from lamb of god to this giant list

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Yes you can

[@kelvinrodriguezjr2184]

Funny enough Machine Head's song Imperium has this riff as well but closer to the classic metalacore riff about 4 or 5 minutes into the song.

[@fireinthesky3379]

Deathamphetamine - Exodus Adjusting the sun - Hypocrisy probably the two most original versions of that riff, i mean Exodus doesn't really sound similar, but it also does.

[@MrSatanislav]

Funny fact: Machine Head's riff here sounds just like one Cradle of Filth riff - but I forgot the song.

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I think I can hear that

[@Alexander-ws6wl]

Enter Shikari "Sorry, You're Not A Winner" ?

[@no1knowzme]

Intestine Baslism 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@nergalshagrath6667]

Sounds like you try to rap rap god on the outro

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I might've

[@Rawrwheresmybacci]

Dude can you do a video on some tones, i have otto audio and i love it but im still struggling to make it sound as good as possible for recording

[@dmytroyatsuk3173]

🔥🔥🔥

[@nodice182]

This is also ‘sorry you’re not a winner’ by enter shikari

[@M5Scomek]

Part 3 - Two minutes to mignight riff

[@BactuallyInsane]

world of ribs

[@themightymcb7310]

Newer bands like Boundaries and Dying Wish also use these kinds of classic 578 riffs

[@angelcarvallo8546]

Just Another Star by Bullet for my Valentine also belongs in here

[@playdiscgolf1546]

All these songs are right in that “pocket”

[@kanoaikawach]

I made a whole playlist on an old youtube account with a lot of different songs that use this riff lol.

[@raulrossi9735]

Priest is the father of this riff

[@andrasagoston7601]

Subscribed! I think When Midnight Breaks from Himsa is an overused riff from 21st century of metalcore music (especially from 2005).

[@russellazure9316]

Hell yea! No need to fix something that’s not broken lol

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Exactly lol

[@BigMuff75]

Good morning.

[@SuicidalGrind]

I came here for Judas Priest, but stayed for Dismember and Intestine Baalism.

[@Rowanexen]

Maybe Betray Me by Tremonti kiiiiinda counts? Idk, my mind is blanking 😭

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I can see the resemblance, but its different enough imo. Btw I got a shiny Delphox :y

[@Stefan979-]

JP still did it best. But you can hardly fail with it.

[@napalmsanctuaryx4129]

Maybe not most used but check out apes of wrath by gwar then check out human sacrifice by vengeance rising. Like, somebody straight up stole something.

[@aLsordon]

Asi es carnalito! Hahah 0,3,5,7,9,11,12.. greatest metalcores from 2000s ! Wheres the haunted?? OLA

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I thought about including Trespass, but I was running late with it.

[@dante7935]

The Best cliche riffs

[@berakfilip]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nicholaskersey3771]

missed Unholy Confessions and any song by As I Lay Dying

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Because they’re in part 1 of course

[@nicholaskersey3771]

Damn he proved me wrong and got me to watch a second of his videos. Touché sir.

[@MomDoer-qc7iw]

Panic attack by dream theater

[@johanjotun1647]

shit man running the 2 string minor box has been done by other bands

[@vomitsky1728]

there are different riffs

[@andrejzlatkov2249]

tbh the only one i liked is my chemical romance, which is not my shit at all, but it was a great riff, besides judas offcourse

[@Mosnarrr]

black dahlia murder is the best band

[@randomguyontheinternet7940]

Am i the only fucking dumbass that knows that as air mans theme 💀

[@TheEmptyAutumn]

Dude, where's "Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow"?

[@jojoplaysmusic]

I remembered it as I was rendering the video and I hated myself for not including it

[@mabooooyleatherface.1044]

idk if i'm stupid but all of these sound like completeley different riffs.

[@fullmetalguy8357]

They are different riffs but utilize the same technique and pattern of riffing. Alternating notes on the higher parts on the fretboard with the low E string.

[@perlundgren7797]

I'd say part 1 worked better, if you haven't seen it.

[@mabooooyleatherface.1044]

@@fullmetalguy8357 ah gotcha . idk shit about guitar playing so thanks for clearing that up

[@magmastarclash]

not putting spirit crusher is blasphemous

[@jojoplaysmusic]

Well it’s because it’s in part 1

[@lehanchick]

not riff, chord progression

[@K707OR30]

I just want to confirm that everyone realizes these aren’t actually the same riff, right? The underlying chord changes are similar, but they’d literally have to have the same sequence of notes and syncopation to be the same riff and would sound/be identical. And that’s not the case. Cool clickbait I guess?

[@sleepforever8378]

its just bands immitating each other

[@sweetypuss]

ok nerd

[@coreyleighmilner-013]

There's already one Nik nocturnal on KZbin we don't need another one

[@Environmental-Time]

one of the worst riffs ive heard tbh
