"Reign In Blood" VS All (Ultimate Guitar Riffs Battle)

[@ligamentpull1]

Jeff Hanneman, James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Scott Ian, Gary Holt, and Max Cavalera are amongst the greatest Thrash Riff Writers of all time.

[@wilsonkonana8532]

Without any of them, I wouldn’t have picked up the guitar for sure. Also Pat O’Brian was another massive inspiration for me

[@cliffordclaussen2321]

You are both absolutely 💯 percent correct. Thank god for all of those great guitar players that shaped our lives and our ears 🔥🤘🎃🤘🔥

This was the soundtrack to my teenage years in 1986 (I'm 52 now). One memory I had during this compilation is when I bought Destruction's Eternal Devastation, I blasted "Curse The Gods" while wearing headphones REALLY LOUD. I'm surprised I didn't blow out my ear drums.

Yes, even though the riff here was very basic.

Oh yah, Postmortem; one of the most relentless, ferocious songs ever constructed. It shares this category with other songs like Disposable Heroes, Devil’s Island, and D.N.R.💪🏻🤘🏻

[@rockriverash3120]

That's a win/win battle right there.... every single riff is brutally priceless!! Totally awesome stuff! 🙏🍻🎸🥁🎶🤘

[@gregnorvell9730]

Maybe it's me being a lifelong Slayer fan. But they're stuff just sounds so dark and aggressive compared to the others. Not to take anything away from them. All great songs and artists. But there just won't ever be another Slayer. Since day one hearing them (36yrs) they've checked all the boxes. Sure miss them and Jeff. You done all the artists justice on this, completely smashed it!!!!

[@a.skowronek3915]

All made great songs on their Albums … but Slayer made a whole great Album 📔

[@actionkato2133]

Postmortem riff is incredible. Best moment on the album

[@doc25000]

I got to see the Big 4 in Indio California back in 2011, Jeff Hanneman's last performance with Slayer, I have vids on my channel from that show and other Slayer shows including their Final Tour, This battle is EPIC! Thanks man, This is KILLER!

[@jordiumethar4963]

there is not a single bad riff!!!. They are all great. One of my favorite Slayer riffs is Postmortem!!!

[@playdiscgolf1546]

Postmortem and Raining blood, the best back to back songs in Thrash history!

[@Jacobmovietalk]

It could’ve been one song. And Postmortem is probably my favorite Slayer song.

[@SpywareVA]

Nicht viele Gitarristen können es auch nur annähernd mit Jeff aufnehmen. Er war ein reines Metal-Genie und wird für immer seinen Platz unter den Sternen haben. Es lebe SLAYER. Greetings from Poland

[@romaincassignol]

Man, you're really an encyclopedy of metal riffs 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@larseckardt_nl]

Amazing man. Back in these days when 99% of these bands had their own style and riffs. Listen to 'all new metal, nowadays on spotify. All the same production, style. Riffs? Slayer rules. Hanneman is the riffmeister. Mosh.

[@blapask]

Postmordum is one of the sickest riffs of all time

[@eldiablo3794]

How about Slayer vs Deicide? That'd be awesome. Reign in blood vs Legion, South of Heaven vs Once Upon the Cross.🤘🏾🎸

[@schillinger7814]

I've always classed Legion as the Reign In Blood of Death Metal.

[@capsuleinc-rj6qq]

1986 truly was an amazing year for thrash metal

[@newwavepop]

its nice to see Nuclear Assault get a mention, Rign In Blood was one of my favorite albums back in high school "86-90" but Nuclear Assault were my favorite band. also "The Thing That Should Not Be" i always think is Metallicas most under appreciated song. the riff in "Raining Blood" and "Angel Of Death" are both just about unbeatable but i have always LOVED the "Postmortem" riff.

[@schillinger7814]

Absolutely awesome vid and that nod to Jeff at the end was brilliant!!!!!

[@xdsapilloxd]

Sometimes I forget how F_K_N monumental the entire Reign in Blood LP is, not one song that isn't great! I guess that is why it is clearly the greatest Thrash Metal Album of all time.

[@mindjab]

Reign in blood is a masterpiece and can’t be touched. Jeff hanneman was a fucking monster 👹 RIP

[@jakobthonen9411]

Once upon a time, and it was only a few years ago, I didn't quite understand how it was possible to listen to this kind of music and enjoy it. Then one of my son's friends made me listen to Reign in Blood. To my own surprise I suddenly became able to appreciate the sheer beauty and complexity of Metal. Glorious!You're a very skilled guitarist, and I enjoy your channel very much.

It's the only album I've listened to more than any other album, and I never get tired of it to this day. Like Kerry King says "it just hits you right in the head from beginning to end". Rip Jeff!
