Hey man, do you have any advice for pinch harmonics on bass strings? Can hit them pretty well on my first three string but for some reason I either deaden the note or just get a regular note on my 5th and 6th strings

I'm not even a huge slipknot fan but 2:30 is one of the greatest metal riffs written. It's just a huge perfectly looping rolling riff

[@boyman7823]

Its iconic, which is what makes it both amazing and unbearable at the same time.

[@derekfernandez578]

True. I hated this riff so much when this album came out because it sounded like the most cliche metal riff I'd ever heard. It grew on me though.

[@AmorfoEstudios]

Fuck You Disturbed??😎😏

[@stormshred]

I hate when people are disturbed or avenged sevenfold say they like slipknot. I think slipknot is way to good for nu metal and they are actually good

[@DarthRiley]

Storm Shred lmao because people who like other bands aren't allowed to like slipknot? Whether you like it or not slipknot is nu metal, nu metal is metal that came out during the late 90s and early 2000s. As much as I love slipknot, they still fall into the nu metal genre. Maybe you should expand your horizons a little bud.

[@TheAcePool]

DarthRileyGaming Nu Metal is defined as metal combined with elements of rap, hip-hop, EDM, etc. Not as music released in a specific time period.

[@DarthRiley]

TheAcePool either way it still proves my point, and the time period is just when it became more prominent. What you just described is pretty much what slipknot is. They have those elements.

[@jacobrobles688]

Wow. Before I Forget and Psychosocial are extremely impressive

[@summerrr1]

[@wiccabessa]

Dude iowa has so many great riffs... disasterpieces and the heretic anthem are two of my favorite riffs ever in metal

11: All Out Life (Honorable Mention): Gematria

[@idontcare2851]

I had never truly given slipknot a chance until my friend in 8th grade formally introduced me to the music of Slipknot and Children of Bodom. He would play their riffs on his guitar and blow me away. Been hooked on shred ever since.

[@saturn5087]

I know people don’t like the second half of AHIG but Gehenna’s opening riff is so good in my opinion

[@Ozzy_Dio]

Gehenna Is one masterpiece

[@misanthrope5380]

The vast majority who don't like AHiG in general is because they went from the Stone Sour influence on Vol 3 which brought in a lot of radio rock listeners to a more melodic yet Iowa esque album and it was too heavy for them. Some songs really bring the death metal influence hard. Songs like Gehenna remind me of the ST era.. dark and creepy vibes, like Purity or Iowa (the song). IMHO, was the last great album...

[@ryanevans6717]

That's amazing. wish I could play like u

Lol, buy an Ibanez 7421 (most inexpensive 7 string quality guitar out there) and you'll be able to play these simple riffs in a matter of 6 months.
