Top 13 Eyehategod Riffs (Sludge/Doom Metal)

[@DaisyHead666]

Finally some appreciation for the first album! My fav of theirs.

[@DoomTones]

That one is my favorite too. It has some of their slowest riffs ever, which i love.

[@DaisyHead666]

@@DoomTones Its also just such an abrasive sounding album.. wish theyd play more songs from it live.

[@KeithShelley1]

Damn, that's just the Acapulco Gold into an IR? Killer tone!

[@DoomTones]

yeah, guitar, acapulco and ir. Thats it. Barely any EQ, just low and high pass. Its like the pedal is already dialed in perfectly.

[@docbp87]

Great list of some of their best riffs. Hearing this i almost wish Bower's guitars had more low end like this in more recordings because it sounds even heavier than usual, and combined with Jimmy's groove would somehow be even harder. Great video.

[@artboonparn9608]

this is awesome. MAN IS TOO IGNORANT TO EXIST is one of my all time fave EHG songs

[@MB-rc8ie]

I've seen them live... Almost forgot how kickass that riffs are. Simple, but genius at the same time. Thank you

[@Noise_Meister_Records]

Blank was the riff that got me into metal back in elementary school , Cheers 🤘🏻

[@DoomTones]

same here, its the first song i heard of theirs.

[@Metalbaum]

haven't watched but i'm glad southern discomfort/Jackass is there because this might me one of my fav riffs of all time

[@DoomTones]

One of the best riffs ever. B.t.w You have been my subscriber since 2020, back then I had like 5 videos on the channel. I wanna thank you for your support!

[@Metalbaum]

@@DoomTones ur welcome dude

[@schillinger7814]

Amazing!! Got to admit though that my favourite is "Serving Time in the Middle of Nowhere" but I'm not going to argue with your choices. "Southern Discomfort" my favourite here!!!

[@DoomTones]

thanks!

[@Paulkersey5921]

Thank you dude this is so badass

[@stanislaviakhno2328]

Love it! EHG🤟🏻 Sweet playthrough

[@DoomTones]

thanks!

[@spncrgrn]

This helped me find way more eyehategod songs for the daily rotation lmao

[@drpibisback7680]

Southern Discomfort riff forever, I can't believe it originally didn't make the cut for Take As Needed For Pain.

[@nicoguarini28]

Great sound, tho it sounds nothing like da swamp boys. Needs alot more da Randall crunch thing with more top end and low mids.

[@rodbarrett1581]

Cool channel. I like your tone. Playing ehg seems so simple on the surface but it also involves a certain swing and groove which comes from environment, mindset, and maybe some weed and whiskey. It's hard to explain. Your notes are pretty much correct but some of that syrupy swing is missing. As well as some false harmonics. Typically their riffs will start of with single notes for a couple bars then chords are used to bring home. I remember having a conversation with Dixie and shep from weed eater years back about the new drummer. They didn't hear him yet and they asked me how he did. I said the same thing that he has the notes but just needs time to get that swing. Not being anal so don't trip. Just discussing the idiosyncrasies of their music. Obviously your a good player and I dig your videos. Cheers.

[@DoomTones]

Hey man, i appreciate your comment. I agree with you completely, some of these tracks need more swing, and i kind of played some of them mechanically. Gonna keep this in mind if i make more NOLA sludge stuff. I need to add more swing to the drums. Thanks!

[@EdwinSantiago19]

Sounds awesome. I’ve never tried any DIY pedals but you just convinced me to get it

[@DoomTones]

Thanks! Its definitely worth it. This one was quite easy to make. Good luck with your build!

[@mabelstyx]

fantastic video, one of my fav bands louisiana sludge at its finest 🤘

[@DoomTones]

appreciate that! EHG are the greatest!

[@martyboy777]

This blokes nailed the tone. I put this on when I have sex. So many gnarley riffs in a short space of time. 10/10 boyo cheers.

[@erictallant4965]

Excellent!!!!

[@DoomTones]

Many thanks!

[@gioziak]

Great stuff mate. Any chance of doing Kylesa?

[@DoomTones]

havent gotten into them yet.

[@dcjburn138]

What about the bridge riff from serving time in the middle of nowhere? It's THEE riff

[@ptrknife]

what's brand of the guitar?

[@BlackOwl10]

Check out, Egypt - Shamans march

[@orikarin714]

What are the amp settings?

[@jesuslovesu5508]

I love Jesus and this sounds funni

[@browardrap]

Do they hate god? We will never know

[@ArgentPure]

The high e string feels so left out!

[@DoomTones]

jimmy bower (ehg guitarist) only has 4 strings on his guitar

[@BigMuff75]

It's a great tone but not pungent enough for EHG. And the feedback is missing.

[@wookierock7860]

So you're telling me I don't need to mic a cab at blistering volume levels to get "the" sludge and doom tone at home. Just pedals of my liking a lap top and IRs???? No more passed off wife angry neighbors and cops!?

[@DoomTones]

yep, guitar + pedal + impulse response = no cops

[@wookierock7860]

@@DoomTones 🤣🤣🤣 I like those maths. Is a preamp style pedal necessary for this application or can I just throw my favorite fuzz and distortion in front of an interface and rock away?

[@DoomTones]

@@wookierock7860 i dont have a dedicated preamp pedal so i wouldnt know. Fuzz straight into audio interface has worked for me in the past, and it sounds surprisingly good. A good IR (i use Ownhammer) and some EQ is obviously neccesary.

[@internetwanderer231]

Pedals?

[@DoomTones]

Acapulco gold

[@acidfebruary7693]

It's like one riff's variations in 13 songs, sounds poorly

[@DoomTones]
