Top 11 - Greatest Stoner Riffs - Part 2

[@StonedJesus]

heck yeah! Thanks and good job, bud

[@RiffLair]

Thank you Jesus! Couldn't leave you out! Cheers! 🤘

[@falsevektor]

I'm The Mountain was one of my late best friend's favorite songs. Every time I hear it it reminds me of them. Thank you for that epic song. 🤘

[@StonedJesus]

@@falsevektor thanks

[@bengrimm1222]

Electric Wizard is so awesome at writing evil sounding riffs. Truly unique band.

[@RiffLair]

The first time I heard Funerapolis I was amazed by the sound! Like wow.!

[@John-k6f9k]

They're 90% Black Sabbath, not that unique. But I still have all their albums

[@theultimate0117]

@@John-k6f9k truly inaccurate and parroted forever. More like Eddie Hazel than sabbath. Wizard was more of a sleep inspired band initially

[@calowenby1654]

Cool name you’ve got.

[@RiffLair]

🤟🤟

[@shanedeel2]

part 1 was one of my most watched videos last year

[@RiffLair]

Thank you so much dude! Part 1 was a huge step for the channel last year 🤗🤟🙏

[@MrJalafanakis]

Hell yeah brother

[@John-k6f9k]

You don't need drugs to love this stuff.

[@RiffLair]

True! Drugs are optional.

[@tomasparra720]

are different experiences 🥦🤙🏻🐉🪻🪬

[@doom4369]

Holy shit finally some acid mammoth recognition on this platform. Those guys fucking crush

[@justinrisen1929]

Sweet Leaf and Funeralopolis and Into the Void are the first stoner songs i learned. Stoner Rock/Metal is the best

[@RiffLair]

Must have been Into the Void for me. Always been a huge Sabbath fan. My first CD I bought was Black Sabbath :)

[@per-olofwiktorsson2650]

That's my top 3 right there.

[@RiffLair]

Can't argue with these 🤟😎

[@timh9497]

Was not expecting Acid Mammoth, then following it up with OG! You sir🤘🏻

[@RiffLair]

No1 expected Acid Mammoth I think! Thank you for watching brother!😎

[@heksekvlt7161]

acid mammoth is PEAK

[@RiffLair]

Yeah dude 😎🤟

[@Itakepicturesofthesun]

Wo fat being on here is truly what we all needed

[@RiffLair]

Really fat this riff 🤟 Dope!

[@mylescasey8914]

That tone is phenomenal 🔥

[@RiffLair]

Thank you so much dude! 🙏😎

[@reverb.deluxe]

Good to hear you again! Sweet Leaf was the first stoner riff I ever heard. Love the Soundgarden clip too!

[@RiffLair]

Hey 👋. Nice to see you here again 🤗 My first ever CD I bought was Black Sabbath. Into the Void is also considered stoner/doom 🤟

[@Glensully]

not a bad song in there. I started in 89. loved Outshined, one of first bunch of songs i learnt after i was getting decent

[@dustydogz]

Used to play Sweet Leaf in a standard tuning back in the days cause that's how I thought it was meant to be played. Adding Melvins and Soundgarden to the list is cool because grunge is intertwined with stoner in so many ways. Good job!

[@RiffLair]

I used to Play it that way too. It sounds nice but people won't hesitate to correct you on the internet.😎 Melvin's and Soundgarden are not really Stoner. The specific songs though more so I think. Both were requested a lot in my previous video 🤟

[@aphex_303]

I can't hear the Sweet Leaf riff now without my mind immediately jumping to 'Sweet Loaf' by Butthole Surfers.

[@Lumpygroovy]

@@aphex_303Weedpeckers version is fkn gnarly

[@zachary963]

Is that a Galactic Empire tattoo? Awesome!

[@RiffLair]

At last! Someone noticed! Yes 🤣

[@wannyyydilliamsss]

Dave Grohl's Dream Widow album had some great stoner stuff on it. The album got completely forgotten about because it dropped at the same time as Taylor's death.

[@mynameisnotjohn3311]

STONED JESUS MENTIONED!!!!

[@RiffLair]

F#$@ yeah dude! 🤘

[@fingercrampss]

love the video, well played!

[@RiffLair]

Glad you enjoyed my friend 😎🤟 Thank you!

[@Terribleguitarist89]

I've always dug the sound of the genre but haven't done much of a deep dive, this part 1 and 2 were a great starting point for me.

[@RiffLair]

That is awesome man. Glad this helped you on your journey through the desert 😎🤘

[@arikjacobson5771]

Bringing it back with Wo fat! What a banger! Love your vids!

[@RiffLair]

Thank you so much brother. Always thought that dice/bend on that Wo Fat track is killer! :)

[@RiffLair]

Hey guys!👋 Finally back with a new upload. Do you agree with the list? Also please let me know your opinion about having an intro. Do you like it with or w/o? Cheers.!

[@Fakewhack-st8fl]

If you've already worked an intro into existence, great!, it belongs, if not, I wouldn't worry.

[@Fakewhack-st8fl]

Both lists are fantastic. Your choice of riffs are unique, memorable, and full of exactly what viewers look for imo.

[@RiffLair]

Thank you so much. I try to select interesting riffs from a guitarist's perspective as much as I can.

[@RiffLair]

I've already made this intro, do you find it fitting as a viewer or abstracting? Cheers!

[@Who.gives.a.fuzz.]

Infinite points for including Lowrider in this vid and Elder in part 1!

[@RiffLair]

Hell yeah dude 🤟🤟

[@dinosgod]

Great as always brother! Riff Lair never disappoints! Thumbs up for adding I'm the Mountain, one of my favourite stoner songs!

[@RiffLair]

Thank you Dinos!! Stoned Jesus

[@Queso_15.]

electric wizard is my favorite band of all time and you matched the tone perfectly

[@KeyyUnder]

Awesome tone dude, definitely gonna listen to a few of these bands as I'm not so familiar with some but absolutely love the riffs

[@RiffLair]

Thanks a ton man! Be sure to check out Part 1 as well. Some more bands in there as well. 😎

[@chupiconverge6034]

Electric Wizard , part one.😢. Great Sound.

[@1995krampe]

Ah damn the songs selection is very good almost my playlist I’m the mountain is kinda hypnotic hearing that for a while now Diablerie from windhand and mortal bones from the well is also really great I will try those out soon

[@radamrussell]

Yeeeeeeeaaahhhhh....some Wo Fat, but brother man....when talking Soundgarden, Outshined is iconic....but i gotta go with the crunch of 4th of July just because. It gets me every time. Stoned Jesus - Mountain is just a classic for the genre. That one belongs on a 'stoner rock guitar gods' list... and if you make that one....I will throw what McLeod puts down on Elk Blood Heart up against most anything for that list. That solo is bottled magic.

[@_S1nta]

Νιώθω ότι υπάρχει κάτι στην stoner που κολλάει πολύ στα ελληνικά ακούσματα... αυτό το βαρύ των παλιών ρεμπέτικων μάλλον κυλάει ακόμα στις φλέβες μας. Big ups για τα riffs, το tone και γενικά όλο σου το κανάλι, εύχομαι το 2024 να μεγαλώσεις κιάλλο και μαζί σου όλη η stoner/doom σκηνή!! 😁 🤘

[@RiffLair]

Σε ευαχιστω πολυ αδερφε μου! Συμφωνω στο οτι υπαρχουν κοινα στοιχεια στο βαρυ ρεμπετικο με το stoner genre. Ισως και γι αυτο να εχει τοση απηχηση στο ελληνικο κοινο! Να εισαι καλα και καλη χρονια! :)

Thank you so much for the support Mark! I am running my SG into my Friedman Small Box50, plexi channel with a Swollen Pickle Fuzz in front for the most of the riffs. The soundgarden one I use the 2nd, overdriven channel of the Friedman, no pedals.

To improve your list you could also mention some Monster Magnet's songs

[@RiffLair]

I hear you. I find their riffs to be pretty basic though, IMHO. Maybe a video of their own 😎

[@MykelObvious]

Lessons for these too please!!

Fucking incredible man. Well done. also *Revolve by Melvins (not Resolve) but its all good

[@guillaumeguyot9908]

what pickups do you use on the SG thank you

[@RiffLair]

Hey dude. Those are the stock '61 pups. My SG is a '61 std Reissue, 2019 I believe.

[@GothicXlightning]

got to love a good sexy SG of honor hey ? hey i see some SOUNDGARDEN in it got to get me that KYM THAYIL Signature SG of his someday but all in BLACK of course

[@RiffLair]

I think Iommi might have something to do with me getting an SG heh. I was thinking of getting a Guild SG way before I got my Gibson. I bet they are pretty nice! :)

[@GothicXlightning]

my brother Sir Tony iommi is my dearest Guitar hero of all times i am a Huge Goth Doom Metal/ Funeral Doom lover and musician as well yeah iommi is that massive icon that has to come to mind with you see an SG specially when playing Dark somber tones drop low tunings etc but also Kym thayil is another honorable mentioning i have played his Black signature i found it at one of the Guitar C stores and truly could not believe it was sitting there just glad that guitar become much more accessible since it was such a rare beauty i think is in my list for underrated SG guitar types aside the old Yamaha SG series as well sometimes i don't know what i love more between my Black Beauty Custom Les paul and my Ebony SG??? despite SG feeling more slick and having that extra nicer access on higher frets i just ADORE this guitars with all my soul anything that resembles these 2 styles or a infusion of both is just all what i want in a good Doom metal looking guitar

[@ArgentPure]

Actually, Kym plays a Guild Polara not an SG!

[@GothicXlightning]

and that Polara is Actually an SG model that is all what we meant buddy

[@RiffLair]

Technically it's a Guild Polara yes but I think we all know where the shape comes from 🤟

[@mikerauter1859]

No doubt a random question bro! but do like/play any black metal? I asked because the jump from doom/drone to the depressive suicidal subgenre of black metal is not that great. Darkthrone and Burzum for example have many slow atmospheric 'doomy' riffs, it'd be cool to hear you play a few through your trusty SG!

[@RiffLair]

Hey dude 👋 I play lots of genres, even funk stuff etc but black metal, no. I can listen to songs from here and there but never got into it much. Let me know some bands, maybe I like Black metal and don't know it 🤣

[@mikerauter1859]

@RiffLair guitar sounds very off to me. In the original, it is a lot heavier and darker.
