The Tempo Experiment

[@jaredfitzgerald6878]

120BPM: Crowbar 160BPM: Gojira 200BPM: The Faceless 240BPM: Decrepit Birth 270BPM: Nile 300BPM: Fleshgod Apocalypse 333BPM: Infant Annihilator 666BPM: Rings of Saturn I tried lol

[@bernieorbust6104]

Jared Fitzgerald 240 reminded me of necrophagist

[@13MATTallica96]

Play the first one at .5 speed to get 60 BPM and you have a Cough song. Doom Metal indeed.

[@provokeout]

Jared Fitzgerald i think 666bpm is infant annihilator bruh

[@jaredfitzgerald6878]

Paul Wake Up I think both bands could be switched interchangeably lol

[@OllieSvensson]

200 is Gojira ;)

[@DavidMcGrawdrummer]

When drummers play guitar better than most guitar players in the scene. And write better riffs too!

[@johnkratos4313]

true

[@tylershockley4277]

Idk about that

[@ronaldothomejunior3702]

It's important remember that Lars Ulrich wrote some great Metallica riffs, but unfortunately he is not this kind of example

[@cannemen]

This is what I think (it may not be 100% right though): 120 BPM - A thrash band once they discover marijuana and start playing sludge instead 160 BPM - Kerry King learned how to play diminished arpeggios 200 BPM - Basicly Necrophagist 240 BPM - Cannibal Corpse on meth 270 BPM - Suffocation 300 BPM - Cattle Decapitation (kinda) 333 BPM - Probably what many Tech Death metal bands like Brain Drill will play once they drop the fucking sweep picking abuse 666 BPM - Pornogrind

[@mifo2069]

Phuck Yu 666 kinda Catasexual Urge Motivation ;)

[@estelombo]

Absolutely perfect!!!

[@deathmetalchar]

Lol I had to go back and watch the vid with this guide. Fucking awesome man!

[@jesseinfinite]

Phuck Yu 120 bpm was more like sludge metal But the rest of this is very accurate :P

[@xXBiShOXx]

Phuck Yu For 240 I was thinking it kinda sounded like Soreption.

[@gonzalochairez677]

Honestly any of those tempos can be metal...

[@Jesse-mh6hv]

Gonzalo Chairez I mostly agree

[@markiyanhapyak349]

Sure. …They are.

[@lightspeedproject]

240 felt the most natural for me i guess if it was to be a death metal song

[@christianford1039]

jason G I feel the same way. I enjoyed 240 BPM the most. It kind of feels like a nice mean for the kind of riff this is -

[@Pendrum911]

jason G agreed

[@Arcanineisthebest]

I felt that for the last part after the small silence, but the beginning felt most natural to me at 200, but the arpeggio thing still needs to be faster in both, I think.

[@dr_atheist4272]

If you're into electronic music, check out speedcore. It's hardcore techno, but fast.

[@justinmurray8920]

I liked 240 and 120

[@MrFliffi]

different tempo makes different genres out of the same music :0

[@BrickwallStudios0]

That double bass drum killed me on 666bpm

[@MegaKronos1]

cant......stop.......Laughing! 😂😂

[@SillyViking1]

+John Mirra Give "Henker" a listen :P

[@huffingfarts]

+SillyViking fuck yeah henker is just fuckin silly

[@BrickwallStudios0]

Fucking hell hahah beautiful

[@skinnyman1ua]

speed up video x2 for better effect :)

[@Blade658]

It's weird how the different tempos made me think of a different band or genre. I didn't realize how much influence that had. 240bpm was my favorite:3

[@D.M.-]

I think 666 might have been sped up

[@alexanderarias8519]

Nah br0 he's just that good

[@okayyeahkolbe7335]

most likely, but it was probably just for the sake of the joke.

[@alinehelenamironsuarez2370]

no way Sherlock!

[@ericcartman9199]

D. M. I dunno does a bear shit in the woods

[@silversky5554]

D. M. no shit sherlock

[@WhaleWTFMetal]

They all sounded metal as fuck !!!

[@swigyyswag4284]

The blast beats at 666 bpm sound like farts tho.

[@AlienAutopsy666]

I personally like 160bpm and 240bpm \m/ Sick riffs btw!

[@SirRandomIV]

TheWretched_Spawn I liked 160bpm the most

[@Cuzjudd]

160bpm ftw

[@JoelSebastianMoreno]

Is that the Squier Telecaster Avril Lavigne Signature? LOL.

[@dandosapershing6103]

JoelMetal hahaha 😂

[@sundigest1121]

JoelMetal LOL

[@genghislad6195]

I loled at this

[@Boopadoop-kz6np]

Yeah, just noticed. I think he replaced the pickup(s) and stuff but that's still funny 😂

[@antoniantoni3831]

High skill only

[@mus1cal4ddict76]

Between 160 and 270 is just right

[@doi558]

200 was perfect

[@SyfkyAnagus]

true 200 bpm is definately metal approved for me :D

[@toad15fan]

doi san slayer. Nuff said.

[@shixerz_93]

270 was definetly best for me. I guess not a surprise as a fan of Nile

[@willstanbury9725]

It sounded really gojira-esque to me when it was around 160-200 bpm

[@willstanbury9725]

Also the pickguard there made the guitar look fuckin stupid

[@willstanbury9725]

Phillip hanna that would explain it

[@kianabulhosn1958]

damn your right. as soon as he plays the first arpeggio that riff after totally sounds like it could be right off of the way of all flesh

[@herpderpinson6117]

At 200 bpm, (not so much at 160 imo) the section before the blast beat sounds sorta like The Heaviest Matter or something else off Mars to Sirius

[@gringochucha]

160 is definitely my favorite. It has enough speed to be thrashy, but it lets the riff and the harmonics really shine. Nice groove!

[@pillsareyummy]

My band played this at 1,233,434,434 BPM (and that's before the coffee and cocaine).

[@Podcastage]

This video just made me laugh non stop. It's soooooo tight!!!!!

[@subarashizeo5815]

120BPM-Doom Metal 160BPM-Regular Metal 200BPM-Technical Regular Metal 240BPM- Death Metal 270BPM-Fast Metal 300BPM-Grindcore 333BPM-Technial Death Metal 666BPM-Power Metal in Minor

[@lasamoostang]

This channel is fantastic!!! Way underrated and way better than a lot of other music/guitar/metal channels!

[@chrisgsauce]

Personally my fav was 200 bpm. But 666 is a close second :P

[@chadeddie]

I like the sinisterness of the slower 120. 200 is seems solid too, and I don't care for any of the faster ones, so I'd split the difference and say 160 was my favorite.

[@tanaysinha3719]

270 bpm - perfect death metal riff

[@Admiral_Bongo]

300 and you've got a Brain Drill riff.

[@AB-0802]

Wait, so you're saying Brain Drill doesn't use 999999bpm?

[@Admiral_Bongo]

Ariel Brugada Well, Brain Drill breakdown then.

[@AB-0802]

+Admiral Bongo That's more reasonable

[@Wannalikemy]

Holy Devil R.O.S isn't Slamming Death Metal or Technical Death Metal. It's Technical Deathcore.

[@ElysianTyrant]

TheNamelessYeti Who gives a shit? We are talking bpm here. It doesn't matter if it is Brain Drill or Black Tongue, bpm is bpm here bruh.

[@gutturalemesis]

200BPM = Suffocation 240BPM = Dying Fetus

[@mmmmmmmtoast]

200-240 sounds like most of the tech death i listen to. Not including the ridiculous wank shit. Really though im just happy your guitar is handicap accessible.

[@BillyFromDaA443]

300 BPM and above sounds like I wrestled a bear once

[@TheRandomshite123]

billy bonolis how lol

[@MegaKronos1]

I came back to this video..... and Michael is is still following me looking into my soul.....

[@LtxVirgo]

160 was groovy, 240 was best suited, i think. Very Soreption-y...

[@AXEL77hrm]

Wow! That's what must be called EXTREME! Wonderful job! A real great artist can play riffs optimally at fast speed or low speed. I begin to more appreciate after 160bpm!

[@reservedhogs4735]

Avril Lavigne Telecaster? Okay...

[@Arcanum_Letalis]

Not about which one sounds more metal, but they soundd like different kinds of metal...going from groove all the way through to brutal...awesome riif by the way..

[@13lueBomber]

I love this channel, man. Earned yourself a new subscriber, and I’m sure many more in the near future. Keep it up, brotha! #66Samus

[@13lueBomber]

Man, that 300BPM sounded so damn good!

[@jeremyschiesser6730]

This actually puts fantastic perspective onto a riff itself. Depending on the tone and riff you can essentially change genres simply by changing the tempo.

[@MrCassiocassa]

160bpm was great - The riff has many details and if it was faster it wouldn't sound as good as it should!

[@alexfakluy3410]

A random Squirrel up to 240 is okay for me, but you make sense ;)

[@RobKingRC]

That was Killer Bro.. Sweet Riffs..🤘👊🤘

[@ElephantWatchtower]

200 was perfect imo

[@СергейБолдин-в9м]

0:45 I love the bass sound here.

[@BigMuff75]

great basstone. reminds me of dan lilker (nuclear assault)

[@kellywinter424]

They all sound badass to me

[@GrowlingVocals]

200bpm sounds the most evil to me Speed isn't everything, if you play it too fast, there's no time for the note sequences to have their effect and evoke whatever emotion (in this case brutality and sheer terror)

[@yoashuain1]

Killer guitar riff! Need to hear your solo pjs for sure.

[@DANTVSVERGIL]

200 BPM sounds like Suffication

[@Dantho1997]

I LOVE the wheelchair sign on your headstock🤘🤘

[@SanskarWagley]

should've started at like 40-60 BPM and worked your way to 120

[@DragisaBoca]

Sanskar Wagley Couldn't end on 666 then.

[@EyesofNeurosis]

333 because it is the number of Choronozon. Your playing is sick by the way, very envious

[@GarretGoodbarrel]

I liked 160 the most

[@hugodutoit3469]

200bpm - Fuckin Awesome

[@riccardos.3427]

240-Necrophagist

[@jordanlangton5363]

LOVE the annotations

[@dendox330]

120 bpm by far, its so oldschool death :D and nothing beats oldschool death metal! \m/

[@kurukq]

270 reminded me the most of decrepit births first album, so i loved it the most

[@kazoolhu9176]

My good sir I would have to say 200bpm was the most metal.

[@ronaldothomejunior3702]

240 BPM - Sepultura Live in Barcelona

[@nonono7973]

how to go from judas priest to infant annihilator

[@nicksaggiante9945]

at 300 bpm is so cool samus!

[@FranLegon]

you should've tried lower tempos, like 80 bpm

[@rickhxc]

or 10

[@silversky5554]

Im in love with this riffs

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

My favourite was 200 bpm.

[@Rohrerprod.]

240 is the shit but lower, the riff is equally sick man! Brutal man!

[@EliPandemic666]

i liked it the most at 200bpm

[@guille7545]

Man, the masterization of the song is great

[@NarednikLobanja]

666 is my favorite :D

[@ultimetal]

Everything about this video is great.

[@axxonn01]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH THE 666 BPM BY FAR

[@reformedstoic1581]

The parts before the arrpegio sounded kind of like Cannibal corpse at 120bpm. That and 270 were my favourites.

[@NabilKarsheh]

240!

[@lastditch727]

this is so great lolll, I think I liked 160 the most. Awesome vid man

[@tylerstorer6240]

I just pooped

[@thecrowsnest2872]

160 and everything after 240 are pretty sick

[@gabrielbouchard6769]

Why is your thumb orange tho? lol

[@cade2561]

I guarantee you it's from cheetos or cheese balls

[@Bregeduur1]

That's basically how Slipknot was born. Started at 120bpm, didn't like it, doubled bpm, signed a record deal, (???), profit.

[@CaptnP00pyP4nts]

My brain can't.....function.....anymmmmooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.........(System Shut Down and Reboot):.

[@HenryKhiev]

This was brilliant man! I really liked the riff at 240 bpm.

[@cleansocks75]

160 sounded best to me

[@SirRandomIV]

Jaclyn Overgaauw Agreed, headbanged the hardest at 160

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

Oh shit, tempos play a significant role on bands' sound, and i noticed 'till now LOL

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

***** 120 & 270 works for me

[@duffbeer9202]

is the thing at the end a grinder

[@PolishRatEuropean]

Yes it is

[@JoeyD696]

200/240 works perfectly fine and kicks ass. You can hear every detail of the riff and enjoy it more

[@catshumpcats3]

160-200 sounds best imo But all are metal af so ye

[@snarejayltr842]

I came about four times everytime i rewinded after that sweeppicking part around 2:50

[@MetalAllDayAllNight]

That went from a warmup routine, to a Slayer-esque riff, to a tech death riff. Very cool idea for a video

[@Prince_Sharming]

Love that bass tone too.

[@drefahl9376]

Damn. 7 years. I remember when this vídeo came out

[@Jared-nu2tz]

160 bpm was my favorite. it reminded of cattle decapitation on that opening riff

[@szuraj]

Mega super hiper 66Samus. Ave Metal.🤘🤘🤘

[@kevo_codes]

I love the color of the fingerprint of your left thumb

[@squirrelrevolution8625]

120 sounds the heaviest by far. Excellent demonstration of how tempo makes a WORLD of difference in how heavy something feels. Something most bands do not understand at all.

[@squirrelrevolution8625]

Just hit the 240 demo - interesting that 120 is half that and sounds heavy as fuck too! I think it's scientifically demonstrated somewhere that 120 is the default tempo that humans feel most readily. But I could be wrong.

[@CluthuMcJulian]

Everyone mentioning nile and decrepit birth brings joyful tears to my eyes.

[@gNatflaps]

At 270 bpm it started sounding like a rings of saturn song.

[@elcerditovaliente1]

JAJAJAJA great vídeo!!!! i love the second and third, in 160 and 200 bpm.

[@huggniceman4975]

At 200/240 bpm this is jammin! I love some good ol root/4 power chords.

[@br1an_b]

As soon as I saw "333 bpm" I knew exactly what he was doing. 🤘🏻🎸

[@martyfriedman2672]

The way he described the video at the beginning sounded like describing Slayer riffs.

[@JackstandJohnny]

2:21 Great, nightmare fuel for days.

[@KeithNera]

That 160 BPM break down is hard as frak!

[@thefairchildbros.9184]

160 BPM reminded me a lot of Slayer, and 200 kinda sounded like Cannibal Corpse

[@KainzMusic]

Wut, can't cha go inny FASTUR?!?!? Props man, that was epic and very entertaining!

[@skatterpro]

I usually prefer slow and crushing, but holy hell 240 sounded absolutely perfect. I liked all tempos past 120 though, it just got a bit too tame at first.

[@Koproskulos]

put 666bpm on 1.5 speed and you have Rings of Saturn

[@arturbaptista6741]

270 for sure! It reminded me of Spawn Of Possession!
