At a live show when the clap happened my buddy got bonked in the nose and security/medical made us leave cause he was bleeding so bad. "Either you're taking him or we're calling him a whambulance"
And here we have the elusive baenasuarus cleverly mating with a 6 string guitarasaurus rex. Quietly we shall gander upon this event as it has been said to only happen once every 8 years or so.
@lordmordecai2211 the song is like the Free Bird of metalcore - instead of infinite guitar solos, it's infinite breakdowns! Seriously, that song never gets old, and the entire album is brilliant, easily one of the best og metalcore albums
System of a Down is always the first band I go to when I think of Drop C#, Daron Malakian is one of my favourite guitarists and he definitely helped me get more into writing in Drop C/C#. Plus BYOB was the first SOAD songs I ever heard and one of the first my band and I played live (as well as one of my all-time favourite songs by them), that riff will always just rip your fucking head off and I love it
I smiled when you played that Norma Jean song, not because I've listened to it, but because of Austin Dickey's many attempts to remember the full title. (From a DickeyDines Show video).
Nice list. I'd also add "Sing For Liberty" by All That Remains, "- human" by Metallica, "Unchained" by Van Halen, "The Sinner" by Memphis May Fire, "Anodyne Sea" by As I Lay Dying, "Scream" by Avenged Sevenfold
Andrew playing the bass ? What a surprise ! Edit : I just noticed it's not a bass but actually a guitar, I was misled by the low number of strings, I thought it counted as a guitar only starting from 8 strings and up (7 strings are piccolo guitars, that's another thing) Jokes aside, nice riffing as always !
A great riff in drop C# is the opening in Clean Today by Katatonia, which is also pretty underrated. I also really like the bridge section in Headup by Deftones, the "walk into this world" one. Very simple but effective
Norma Jean’s Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste changed my life when I first heard it over 20 years when I was in high school. That album defined the metalcore generation of the time.
Guilt Trip play in Drop C#, they've got lots of super fun riffs on their album from last year. Surrounded By Pain, Tearing Your Life Away, and Sweet Dreams
awesome playing dear Andrew, it is also cool that you play the Harley Benton LP style Guitar, i got one too, and you inspiere a ton to play it even more now
For standard, you could do some winds of plague riffs. Idk which ones but i think the first few albums/eps were standard. Which is crazy bc it doesnt sound like it
For me, the main riff to Images by Mutiny Within demonstrates that C is actually quite deep. Honestly, you don't need deeper tubings than C. Maybe sometimes A, but anything below that is superfluous, and any riffs written would sound better transcribed up.
yo the clap for enter shikari is diabolical
So is that ass
This comment deserves so much more love 😂
Aggressive not diabolical i disagree..
At a live show when the clap happened my buddy got bonked in the nose and security/medical made us leave cause he was bleeding so bad. "Either you're taking him or we're calling him a whambulance"
@@anti54321 shoulda doubled the injury and gave it to the security too
rare spotting of the baenasaurus mating with a 6 string species...
May you get all the likes.

the clap for shikari is actually insane
It tickled me a bit 🥵🥵🥵
That Stick Stickly riff tickled my brain
I swear it wad in Drop D
@@1tofallen123 i swore it was in drop B or A#
@@1tofallen123 Drop C#
Some OG Alice in Chains like sludge factory and damn that river go hard in C#
Don't forget Them Bones
@alexanderd.f.157 that's a given
And we die young
@sgtbrunope oh yeah that's a personal fave
@@sgtbrunopegreat song, I love Stone Sour’s cover of it
3:06 AYO 😭😭😭 I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
2:45
I fucking LOVE that Stone is getting the recognition it deserves. That whole album so fucking hard
Seen AIC's album art and clicked immediately, just icing on top it's your video
In drop c#, I used to play old Oceans ate Alaska, Sleeping with Sirens (first album) and Revocation (grip tightens)
NORMA JEAN MENTIONED 🔥
one of the most criminally under-rated songs ever
@lordmordecai2211 the song is like the Free Bird of metalcore - instead of infinite guitar solos, it's infinite breakdowns! Seriously, that song never gets old, and the entire album is brilliant, easily one of the best og metalcore albums
I remember setting up the guitarist guitar for him before going on stage to play that song
panic chord heaven

That hits me right in the feels. So good. Seriously, like, just the best tuning for everything.

The first OM&M album got some good drop C# riffs
A lot of these songs with more modern production really shows how important the mix is. These slap like new again!
Chimaria had some really killer riffs. A lot of stuff off of the resurrection album in particular. I also love the breakdown in. Pure hatred
Based pick on In Waves by Trivium. I was really happy to see it in the video when I got the notification, keep up the good work man!
Drop C# is one of my favourite tunings. Surprised no creed or tremonti
I'm surprised Disturbed even made it. Nobody's inspired by radio crap
@@infinidominion Disturbed is one of the biggest and most influential bands of the noughts, but pop off ig
Alter Bridge too
reminds me i need to learn ghost walking on guitar, what a riff
That tone is 🔥
Nice list. I'd also add "Sing For Liberty" by All That Remains, "- human" by Metallica, "Unchained" by Van Halen, "The Sinner" by Memphis May Fire, "Anodyne Sea" by As I Lay Dying, "Scream" by Avenged Sevenfold
Opeth and Dillinger Escape Plan would be good candidates for standard riffs.
And pantera
And sylosis
Almost every thrash band to be honest
3:06 🤣
What about C# standard on a 9 string guitar heaviest riffs?
@@THEDJAG-gt1tz get ready for a total of 3 riffs lol
bruuuuuh
we got clapped on fr 🙏
what classics tho
Love that distant Hoodie
Andrew playing the bass ? What a surprise !

Joke would be funnier if he wasn’t actually playing a bass as well lol
It's a bass bud.... Dingwall D-Roc
LoG mentioned, petition to get Baena and the Carcosa Bois on Headbangers Boat 😤
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal album has a collection of smashing heavy C# riffs
Yeah,but those are C# standard riffs, not Drop C#
God I'm glad you played Stone by AIC... That is such a sick riff.. Cantrell and Duvall are riff KINGS!!
A great riff in drop C# is the opening in Clean Today by Katatonia, which is also pretty underrated.
I also really like the bridge section in Headup by Deftones, the "walk into this world" one. Very simple but effective
Norma Jean’s Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste changed my life when I first heard it over 20 years when I was in high school. That album defined the metalcore generation of the time.
Hi Andrew, I am just writing to say that It would be sick to see an Abasi concepts 8 string on the channel.
Guilt Trip play in Drop C#, they've got lots of super fun riffs on their album from last year. Surrounded By Pain, Tearing Your Life Away, and Sweet Dreams
Drop C# is the borderline where music begins to change from commercially viable to heavy asf.
Nice clips bro 😎
Amazing. I was waiting for some resolution LoG. Nicely done
Glad to see Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste was in there. That riff goes so unbelievably hard.
awesome video Andrew, the LP riff rules
Another fine bit of tunage in ~standard~ C# would be Alpha Omega by Architects but maybe not the heaviest of heavies
so nice it's with bass!
Goated list of riffs
awesome playing dear Andrew, it is also cool that you play the Harley Benton LP style Guitar, i got one too, and you inspiere a ton to play it even more now
omfg, stick sticky, I haven't heard that song in AGES!
Focal is GOAT. I use the Shape 65's and they are insane.
Andrew Baena rocking the slash guitar, would never have thought I would see that. Also, that clap on Enter Shikari is truly evil.
This video really showcases how great nu metal riffs were
Love the Trivium love. I'd argue that bridge riff from Chaos Reigns is heavier than the In Waves main riff. But, that's just my lowly opinion.
O' God the Aftermath by Norma Jean in it's entirety is some filthy drop C#. 👍
Dude, that Deftones album has so many good ones, my favorite is Headup personally. Dropped a like for Norma Jean tho :)
love seeing a norma jean riff on this list
No more tears is my favorite dropc# riff. Or prime mortal form by only living witness
The Jesse Switch shoutout! Everyone's second-favorite Canadian (next to BAENA of course)
My favorite drop C# riff is definitely the opening to Kõdu - Sügispime. Really obscure, but REALLY fucking good black metal from Estonia
suggestion I have for drop d is Jambi by tool and E standard the bridge riff from blackened
Heaviest open tunings, can get some Monuments and Heavy Devy in there
3:05 brother whattttttt
A nice shout out for the 🦀 in there!
Drop C# is nasty 🔥🔥
War of Ages plays C#, in my opinion one of the most underrated metalcore bands
Greeting from Hungary! I think, the best Drop C# tunning bands: Trivium, Linkin park, and As i laaaay Dying. :) :D
BRO SAKU DIR EN GREY, NO MORE TEARS OZZY OSBOURNE, DRAG THE WATERS PANTERA, but overall AWESOME VID🤘💪🤣
Cool thing that the bass has more presence now.
The Chad tuning
Well done! Is that Harley Benton all stock?
best guitar tone you have got so far
Personally I think hollow by AIC is heavier than Stone but great list still!
BYOB is a masterclass of heavy and imaginative guitar playing
I remember when this was the absolute peak tuning. It still is but I remember it before too. 😮 3:05 is wild
For standard, you could do some winds of plague riffs. Idk which ones but i think the first few albums/eps were standard. Which is crazy bc it doesnt sound like it
Ghost walking is just 🫦
Belmont plays in this tuning, and they’re great
The album tales from the thousand lake by amorphis has some bangers to !
Sweet Dreams by Guilt Trip will always be my fav
It's not exactly heavy but the riff from Misery Business lives rent-free in my head
johnny franck is everywhere I swear.
I feel like be around the fur album Could have a whole video like this lol
Imagine playing down with the sickness with your ring finger.
Attack Attack! mention :D
should reeeeeally check out Only Living Witness - Prone Mortal Form
Buried Alive by Alter Bridge is my favorite thing to play in this tuning.
Crabcore for the win
Enter Shikari!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
For me, the main riff to Images by Mutiny Within demonstrates that C is actually quite deep.
Honestly, you don't need deeper tubings than C.
Maybe sometimes A, but anything below that is superfluous, and any riffs written would sound better transcribed up.
Norma Jean 🙌
10 fuuuuuh🎉🎉🎉ken 💪💪💪💪heaviest rifts 🤘
Another Heart by Tremonti
Metalingus by Alter Bridge
The Defiant by Trivium
Hey, we got those monitors at some of my classrooms
Anything done by Death Angel like son of the morning, let the pieces fall.
Was that a Harley Benton and a Dingwall bass? Or is Harley Benton making a Dingwall style bass now?
Drop A# has entered the chat
bridge riff from through blood and dirt and bone by trivium, no contest
CRABCORE BABY
Descent Into Cerberon by Sonic Mayhem (QII OST)
👏👏👏
Usually sponsors annoy me but Sweetwater is kooooo
What sim are you using for bass, cuz Gahdamn
Stick Stickly 4 the life!! ^_^
The sinner-Memphis may fire
While it's not the heaviest riff, Escape Artists Never Die from Funeral For a Friend, is a good Drop C# riff.
putting Attack Attack unironically but missing Deftones' MX is crazy.
