Can we take a second and really appreciate the 96 quiet bitter beings riff, I mean how do you even think to do that. Will always appreciate that riff and refer back to it for inspiration
Dude! The first time I heard The Leper Affinity, when that riff kicks in, I was absolutely standing there with my mouth open (whilst headbanging of course). I'm so happy that I watched to the end of the video and discovered that your favorite riff is also one of my favorite riffs. Once that riff happens, you know Blackwater Park is going to be a wild and unforgettable ride!
A close second for me on that album is the riff in A Funeral Portrait that happens from 2:00-2:30 in the song... in an album full of amazing riffs, that one in particular always without fail makes me feel something powerful and visceral.
Especially considering Nuno Bettencourt is only one of the most unbelievably talented musicians ever. They are criminally underrated, probably because everyone thinks "hair band," and they only know the song "More Than Words," which is just really not representative of the rest of their catalog.
It’s an underrated ozzy track. It doesn’t get the love that anything from the rhoades and zakk wylde era do. Which is a shame bark at the moon is a fantastic track with a great riff.
@@frenchthrasher Exactly my thoughts! Although, I didn't know Anthrax had made a cover of it. So I haven't heard it yet. All I know is that Trust don't play the riff that way and I like their version better. In my last cover band they had the song and it was so good (I discovered it at that time) I had to play it as they play it, solo included. Cheers from Southern France mate! 🍻
@@BradleyHallGuitar I was about to say the same... Seems I'm too late! 😉 Also, I didn't expect some Muse even though your pick is awesome. I played it in my first cover band with some others including Hysteria and Stockholm Syndrom. And I expected some Opeth, then I was thinking "not sure if we can call any Opeth riffs 'underrated'", apparently we can! And again, love your pick. The solo started playing in my head right after. 🤘😎🤘 Peace from France mate! 🍻
LagAvenue hmmm...not sure about that one. I’d definitely say Universal Mind is more popular. However, probably not as common as some riffs you’d hear =D
Well, it is far less praised than things like Crazy Train and even No More Tears, at least with modern radio, so that is likely the logical. There is often a lack of appreciation for the Jack E. Lee days of Ozzy time, so not touching on the two "main" guitarists, Randy and Zakk, makes sense.
Awesome compilation,here some suggestions for a part 2: Scorpions: "Sails of Charon" Savatage: "24 Hours Ago", generally speaking,why is nobody talking about the late Criss Oliva when it comes to amazing metal guitarists?! Annihilator: "King of the Kill" XYZ: "Face Down in the Gutter" Nevermore: "The River Dragon Comes" Thin Lizzy: "Massacre" ("Live and Dangerous" version) Crobot:"Welcome to Fat City" Alter Bridge:"Peace is Broken" Accept: "Midnight Mover" Pagan´s Mind: "Intermission" Jorn Lande: "Lonely are the Brave" Armored Saint: "Mess" John Norum:"Distant Voices" Paolo Gilberto´s Racer X: "Miss Mistreater" Symphony X: " Serpent´s Kiss" Teramaze: "Without Red Hands" Skullfist: "Get Fisted" Grand Magus: "Hammer of the North" Richie Kotzen: "Riot"
I would go with Savatage’s Holocaust for an example of Criss Oliva’s ability to create killer riffs. An woefully underrated guitarist and riff machine.

Amazing video!! We have similar taste👌Glad to see Jason Becker, Emperor, Carcass, Opeth, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Testament, The Darkness, At the Gates, Slayer, Mastodon, Marty Friedman.. . I hope you do the second part of this series. This is a great way to know about other bands. So many suggestions. You are great. Saludos desde España
@@dominikweber4305 no it's not dumb! It's a symbol from an anime named Shingeki no Kyojin, or in english, Attack on Titan. It symbolises obviously freedom, courage, and determination.
Fucking hell mate. Easily my favourite "underrated riffs" video. About half way through i thought to myself "there better be an opeth riff in here". Wasn't disappointed. Great job. Great playing.
Not sure if stranger in a strange land is “underrated” but it’s easily one of my favorites of all time, I fell in love with that riff wishing 5 sec of first hearing it
Actually, now that I think about it... the title track also has one super-syncopated monster riff in 14/4 (not sure how a schooled musician would count that, I'm sure you can correct me) in its mid-section, right before Loomis starts sweeping that solo out of the galaxy... THAT is my nr.1 favourite Nevermore riff ever, and they only repeat it 4 times and that's it. Do you know what riff I'm talking about? Jeff and Steve play two different versions of it, one palm-muted and one with open strings.
I absolutely love that you have Cloudkicker in here. Ben Sharp is a musical genius and is incredibly underrated, plus he his digital downloads are completely free.
Amazing!!! Watched till the end! My suggestions for the next one: Angra - Nothing to Say Ensiferum - Deathbringer from the Sky Kiko Loureiro - Reflective Symphony X - Anything from the "V" album
I love that Newborn is first. I’ll play the verse riff from that song and everyone always loves it. Even my lo-fi hip-hop friends will be like “What is that? That’s sick!” I know it’s a few years late and not exactly what you might expect but the riff from The Cure’s song End is astounding. It’s so simple, beginner level really, but the way it twists at your heart is amazing.
Watched the entire video thinking "damn this dude can play" and that all riffs were great picks. Subscribed immediately upon seeing that riff from Leper Affinity is your favourite of all time because it could very be mine as well! Keep putting out solid content dude!!! Edit: That Ihsahn riff is straight up nasssssty!
So glad you put The Root of All Evil... what an album opener that song is. The riff slams you right in the face. Also And Then There Were None is my favorite Exodus song, the solo is amazing too
Very accurate and precise quick picking fair play to you, but I was admittedly very smug at the timing of 'Get you Back' and 'It's Showtime' reassured me I haven't wasted 15 years of playing lol
Amazing vid man! I suggest: Dr. Sin - emotional catastrophe Dr. Sin - fire Dr. Sin - insomnia Dr. Sin - innocent crime Sepultura - Roots bloody Roots Sepultura - Territory Ozzy Osbourne - No more tears Raimundos - Eu quero ver o oco
You should check out Rings of Saturn. I'm usually not a Death metal or deathcore fan, but they manage to meld technical metal with deathcore its perfect. They have a lot of great riffs Edit: OMG I LOVE CLUTCH! THEY DO NOT GET ENOUGH LOVE!!!
I was SO FUCKING HAPPY when the last one was The Leper Affinity. That song is complete gold and I love just sitting down and ripping that one out, all ten minutes of it!
Rust In Peace Polaris is one of my favourite riffs ever and definitley very underrated! You should do another video like this I'd love to see some Alter Bridge in there, they have a ton of underrated riffs!
Zr00we Vektor is amazing, one of the few post-2000 bands that get me really excited! I love also Gorod and Obscura, but they are prog death, not thrash like Vektor.
Good selection. The best underrated gems for me are Fingerprint File by The Rolling Stones, The Vigil by Blue Öyster Cult and basically every riff in The Masque by Edge of Sanity,
Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, Nuno, Syu, Shawn Lane, Petrucci, Bumblefoot, Friedman x2, I think you hit most of the players that make me go wtf voice leading is that? Well done, sir.
Not sure if it counts as a riff, but my favorite riff is Megadeth's "bridge" segment of Rattlehead. "You, your head: is pounding with pain !" That part has such a great groove.
@@td601 Alot of people often try to start a fight either with them or the fans even if they don't have anything to do with it 😞 Well, yeah, I respect them for what they listen to but why attack us? I just wish it never happens...
@@sidthejovian5105 It's a commonality within metal and rock, there are a lot of elitists.. Just take a look at the riles of Megadeth VS Metallica. Not only in music but with a lot of stuff involving what we could define as "celebrities" people will blindly follow them like sheep and fight for them whenever, wherever. Don't take them seriously, and make sure to not let them waste your time. Now have a good day ^^
I know i'm late to the party, but OMG i waited for any Opeth riff all the video and you delivered at the end with one of my all-time favorites and it was interesting to see we both play it completely different. I fell like Opeth need a whole 50 underrated riffs video of their own
One brilliant and wholly underrated riff I keep coming back to is Demetori's Silent Voyage to Eternity (full name: 春の湊に ～ Silent Voyage to Eternity), the riff that accompanies the first solo section, right after the second chorus.
One of the best musical list videos I have seen on RUclips. Definitely contained a tonne of excellent riffs. The only riff I would say shouldn't be on here is Bark At The Moon, I don't know if I would say it's underrated, people do focus more on the intro I suppose but the song itself is well recognised. Definitely a brilliant riff nonetheless
Rust in Peace, Bark at the Moon, Under a Serpent Sun - let me put it that way: There are some pretty well rated riffs on that list. Great Video anyways!
if you're going for a second part, here are some suggestions: Opeth's Serenity painted death(the 3.15 part), Megadeth's Last Rites/Loved to Deth, Pantera's The art of shredding, Megadeth's My last words, Opeth's Masters Apprentices(2.23 riff), Ghost Walking by Lamb of god, Sea of Madness by Iron Maiden, Judas Be My Guide by Iron Maiden, Nevermore by Symphony X, We die young by Alice in Chains, The blister exists By Slipknot(the chorus riff), Without Judgement by Death, Bite the pain by Death, Empty Words By Death.
I have no idea why, but I just KNEW it's going to be Opeth at the top for some reason, although I can't recall you mentioning Opeth before. Blackwater Park is in my top ten records by the way. Great video, cheers!

buckethead was raised in a chicken coop by chickens?
hehehahahahahaha.
YES! I'm a viking is one of my all time favourites, it was one of the first things i learned to play on guitar
DEBIL METAL LET'S GOOOO
"The Stuggle Within" - Metallica. Always thought the breakdown riff and just the song in general was underrated
Waaaay too short though.. if only they used it again as the outro for the song!
AManNamedSam agreed. And the intro lead is awesome.
If anything that whole album was waaaayyy overrated
I think most underrated from that album are struggle, holier, wolf, never, tread and roam.
Big facts that breakdown riff fucks hard
Can we take a second and really appreciate the 96 quiet bitter beings riff, I mean how do you even think to do that. Will always appreciate that riff and refer back to it for inspiration
Its basically just a scale. Its great sounding though
Dude! The first time I heard The Leper Affinity, when that riff kicks in, I was absolutely standing there with my mouth open (whilst headbanging of course). I'm so happy that I watched to the end of the video and discovered that your favorite riff is also one of my favorite riffs.

A close second for me on that album is the riff in A Funeral Portrait that happens from 2:00-2:30 in the song... in an album full of amazing riffs, that one in particular always without fail makes me feel something powerful and visceral.
I hate how underrated Extreme is.
Especially considering Nuno Bettencourt is only one of the most unbelievably talented musicians ever. They are criminally underrated, probably because everyone thinks "hair band," and they only know the song "More Than Words," which is just really not representative of the rest of their catalog.
Michael Pate exactly! More Than Words is a good song, but there’s more to Extreme than that. they can fucking rock out.
I think most of the world agrees on that
It's cuz all the songs they're known for suck balls. Their album cuts are so much better.
Extremely underrated, you could say
Bark At The Moon is def. not underrated. That song is highly praised for the public.
I would have included Waiting for Darkness instead of that one.
Neither Inno a Satana. I love he used Go into the water by dethklok though
the music is a hit but the riff is really outstandin not so many talk about it
I think the idea there is that he played the verse riff, whereas most people think of the intro riff.
It’s an underrated ozzy track. It doesn’t get the love that anything from the rhoades and zakk wylde era do. Which is a shame bark at the moon is a fantastic track with a great riff.
Awesome dude🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
But Antisocial is not a Anthrax song but a Trust song !
A French band 😛😋🇨🇵🇨🇵
Paul Gilbert Fuzz Universe ❤️❤️❤️
@@BradleyHallGuitar yes that's true and I said that because I'm french 🤣
@@frenchthrasher Exactly my thoughts!
Although, I didn't know Anthrax had made a cover of it.
So I haven't heard it yet.
All I know is that Trust don't play the riff that way and I like their version better.
In my last cover band they had the song and it was so good (I discovered it at that time) I had to play it as they play it, solo included.

Don't like the Anthrax cover, they made it fun, and that song is not marrante, nom de diou! Vive l'originale bordel!
@@rickdeckard2240 Je pense que seuls les Français la connaissent haha !
Fuzz Universe is amazing. Would love to hear “Acid Rain” by Liquid Tension Experiment or “Warheads” by Extreme.
Acid Rain is sick but I prefer the backing riff under the huge solo section in Universal Mind.
I would say "He Man Woman Hater" is THE essential Nuno/Extreme riff :)
Brandon Semik def would not disagree! The riff and rhythm under the verses is excellent!
Sorry Acid Rain is a great riff but too much famous !
LagAvenue hmmm...not sure about that one. I’d definitely say Universal Mind is more popular. However, probably not as common as some riffs you’d hear =D
"Underrated"
"Bark at the Moon"
Oh come on dude that's like toddler's choice
He did include UFO after that so I forgive him for the Bark at the Moon riff.
Well, it is far less praised than things like Crazy Train and even No More Tears, at least with modern radio, so that is likely the logical. There is often a lack of appreciation for the Jack E. Lee days of Ozzy time, so not touching on the two "main" guitarists, Randy and Zakk, makes sense.
@@Soulkrist17 That's definitely fair. Bark at the moon is less praised than Mr Crowley or anything from Blizzard of ozz.
@@brpadington Jake was good too. Randy felt it more.
@@thatguysson8241 I love Jake's stuff.
Me: No Opeth riffs?
Also me: ohhhh...
Yeah, that's definitely amongst Opeth's top three ever riffs.
I was waiting for an opeth riff the whole video
...peth
Awesome compilation,here some suggestions for a part 2:
Scorpions: "Sails of Charon"

Sails of charon? King of the kill?
Fuck yeah dude!
Those are so underrated
Agree with you Criss Oliva the GOAT.
We almost have the same pfp

To be fair let's remind that Antisocial was written by Trust and then "covered" by Anthrax... 😇
Awsome work dude !
58 french people in the place !!! 🤟🏻
Hehe I think about it everytime I hear it, and when I saw Anthrax and they played it, I was singing the lyrics of Trust's song. Cocorico :)
It's good to see Galneryus on a list for once, Syu is a god damn genius.
Fucking hell mate.
Easily my favourite "underrated riffs" video. About half way through i thought to myself "there better be an opeth riff in here". Wasn't disappointed.
Great job. Great playing.
Thank you for including "Where do I hide" - Such a sick riff :D
For another list: Death - Pull the Plug, Faith No More - Suprise, You're Dead!, and RHCP - Fight Like a Brave.
Not sure if stranger in a strange land is “underrated” but it’s easily one of my favorites of all time, I fell in love with that riff wishing 5 sec of first hearing it
OPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH!!!!!!!!! ❤
SEI QUIIIII
Bro, the Nevermore track is wrong! The riff is from "Born" :)
Actually, now that I think about it... the title track also has one super-syncopated monster riff in 14/4 (not sure how a schooled musician would count that, I'm sure you can correct me) in its mid-section, right before Loomis starts sweeping that solo out of the galaxy...

Wow! Some love for Freak Kitchen?!?! *instantly slams the like button*
I absolutely love that you have Cloudkicker in here. Ben Sharp is a musical genius and is incredibly underrated, plus he his digital downloads are completely free.
Amazing!!! Watched till the end!
My suggestions for the next one:
Angra - Nothing to Say
Ensiferum - Deathbringer from the Sky
Kiko Loureiro - Reflective
Symphony X - Anything from the "V" album
4:59 intense Tony hawk flashbacks
I really thought the Nickelback one would be This Means War
Also, should definitely have had Falling In Between by Toto because 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
* start with Muse *

I love that Newborn is first. I’ll play the verse riff from that song and everyone always loves it. Even my lo-fi hip-hop friends will be like “What is that? That’s sick!”
I know it’s a few years late and not exactly what you might expect but the riff from The Cure’s song End is astounding. It’s so simple, beginner level really, but the way it twists at your heart is amazing.

Especially the Nickelback one
No not really
MetallicA!!!!! \m/
Every Extreme riff is criminally underrated, Nuno is one of the most talented guitar players I've ever heard and nobody knows about him
You should include any sylosis riff, that band is criminally underrated
Agreed!!!
King's X, Lost in Germany should be included. Almost their whole catalogue.
Most underrated band ever!
Nevermore is just underrated period
seriouslyyyy
You madlad, that's my favorite Opeth song ever, and you picked the best riff for the end.
Watched the entire video thinking "damn this dude can play" and that all riffs were great picks. Subscribed immediately upon seeing that riff from Leper Affinity is your favourite of all time because it could very be mine as well! Keep putting out solid content dude!!!
Edit: That Ihsahn riff is straight up nasssssty!
So glad you put The Root of All Evil... what an album opener that song is. The riff slams you right in the face.

Very accurate and precise quick picking fair play to you, but I was admittedly very smug at the timing of 'Get you Back' and 'It's Showtime' reassured me I haven't wasted 15 years of playing lol
Honestly DevilDriver has a bunch of really damn good sounding riffs. Would’ve loved to see maybe The Appetite or Head on to Heartache on here by them.
Freak Kitchen played "When spoken to" when they were supporting acts of Steve Vai at Uppsala Internationella Gitarrfestival.
I've always thought that the beginning of root of all evil sounded like those really confusing finger independence excercises like 1342 or 1423
Amazing vid man!
I suggest:
Dr. Sin - emotional catastrophe
Dr. Sin - fire
Dr. Sin - insomnia
Dr. Sin - innocent crime
Sepultura - Roots bloody Roots
Sepultura - Territory
Ozzy Osbourne - No more tears
Raimundos - Eu quero ver o oco
That second one you played, from Nevermore is actually called Born. Godless Endeavor is the album name.
You should check out Rings of Saturn. I'm usually not a Death metal or deathcore fan, but they manage to meld technical metal with deathcore its perfect. They have a lot of great riffs
Edit: OMG I LOVE CLUTCH! THEY DO NOT GET ENOUGH LOVE!!!
Bolt Thrower - The Killchain
I have no idea how this slipped under my radar for so many years but I'm so thankful I found it.
Idk... He-Man Woman Hater by Extreme's riff S L A P S
I was SO FUCKING HAPPY when the last one was The Leper Affinity. That song is complete gold and I love just sitting down and ripping that one out, all ten minutes of it!
My wrist hurts just by looking at you, man.
P.S.: needs more Deftones.
Yess
Did not expect to see a Shawn Lane in here but was not surprised really. Dude was legendary.
I think my favourite riff is where dragons dwell - Gojira
Nothing by gojira is underrated
Rust In Peace Polaris is one of my favourite riffs ever and definitley very underrated! You should do another video like this I'd love to see some Alter Bridge in there, they have a ton of underrated riffs!
If you want some sick riffs just check out vektor they're a really underrated thrash metal band. And they have sick riffs and vocals
Zr00we Vektor is amazing, one of the few post-2000 bands that get me really excited! I love also Gorod and Obscura, but they are prog death, not thrash like Vektor.
I think I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip
@@megabadass30 hell yeah dude
@@Rextum I've heard of them but never listened to them, I might just check them out
Awesome videos dude.
That's my favourite riff too! Such a sick song.
Good selection. The best underrated gems for me are Fingerprint File by The Rolling Stones, The Vigil by Blue Öyster Cult and basically every riff in The Masque by Edge of Sanity,
Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, Nuno, Syu, Shawn Lane, Petrucci, Bumblefoot, Friedman x2, I think you hit most of the players that make me go wtf voice leading is that?
Well done, sir.
Nice to hear something from The Darkness. Permission to Land got me into rock and metal when I was a kid.
Where's All that Remains!? Sick riffs on their first couple albums
Six, man. Whole song SLAPPED
@@xXxThelegend27xXx Six & The weak willed 🤘
Not sure if it counts as a riff, but my favorite riff is Megadeth's "bridge" segment of Rattlehead.
"You, your head: is pounding with pain !"
That part has such a great groove.
That song is epic, man... The drumming and riffing is insane.
not a riff, it's a lick
I was expecting to be so disappointed by your favourite
I wasn't.
Opeth riffs are majestic
Awesome video Bradley! I also love Lil Jack Horny by Extreme, the bridge riff of A7X's Save Me and Down to Mexico by Paul Gilberto
Dude the fact that you had a clutch song on there made my day 🤘
“Rock Bottom” is my all-time favorite. UFO, especially with Michael Schenker, had a lot of awesome riffs.
I think the riff from "Periphery - Have a Blast" which starts at 2:57 never gets the love it deserves. :)
So happy to see Black Shuck on this list, my favourite song by The Darkness, they never get the credit they deserve
Impeccable taste man!! Always loved that riff in Betrayed by a7x, same goes for Heartwork, couldn't have picked better myself
Haha, Slipknot right after Nickelback. I wonder if that was deliberate?
I'm curious, what's the link between them?
XxMr99xX if I remember correctly they had some issues with each other since the singer of Nickelback talked badly about slipknot. Might be wrong tho
@@td601 Alot of people often try to start a fight either with them or the fans even if they don't have anything to do with it 😞 Well, yeah, I respect them for what they listen to but why attack us? I just wish it never happens...
@@sidthejovian5105 It's a commonality within metal and rock, there are a lot of elitists.. Just take a look at the riles of Megadeth VS Metallica. Not only in music but with a lot of stuff involving what we could define as "celebrities" people will blindly follow them like sheep and fight for them whenever, wherever. Don't take them seriously, and make sure to not let them waste your time. Now have a good day ^^
I love how in-tune your guitar sounds with distortion. Even with a compensated Floyd nut my Ibanez can't do that.
The opening riff to “cold” by psycroptic a sicc and one of my all time favourite electric guitar riffs, and it is definitely underrated.
You won a sub by including dream theater's most underrated riff. Spot on, as with many of the other riffs
Cirith Ungol - Join the Legion - Killer, and powerful intro riff.
Ratt - Round and Round. It's catchy, and it's harder than most of people think.
I know i'm late to the party, but OMG i waited for any Opeth riff all the video and you delivered at the end with one of my all-time favorites and it was interesting to see we both play it completely different. I fell like Opeth need a whole 50 underrated riffs video of their own
It makes me very happy to see fans of Galneryus outside of Japan :D! Syu-sama is such an amazing guitarist if you are into that style :).
Insomnium-Drawn to black has a great main riff
Loved this!! Amazing job 🤘🏻. Would love to hear Domination by Symphony X
One brilliant and wholly underrated riff I keep coming back to is Demetori's Silent Voyage to Eternity (full name: 春の湊に ～ Silent Voyage to Eternity), the riff that accompanies the first solo section, right after the second chorus.
CLOUDKICKER!!! like! in addition: best underrated rift in my humble opinion: Recipe for Hate by Clawfinger.
I couldn't believe when I saw Cloudkicker on the list
One of the best musical list videos I have seen on RUclips. Definitely contained a tonne of excellent riffs. The only riff I would say shouldn't be on here is Bark At The Moon, I don't know if I would say it's underrated, people do focus more on the intro I suppose but the song itself is well recognised. Definitely a brilliant riff nonetheless
1:08 is chorus melody from song Born of Nevermore, not the This Godless Endeavor
Why am I not seeing *Running Wild*
(The most underrated band ever)
I was not expecting to see Galneryus on this list. Considering they’re my favorite band this was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Ozzy Osbourne Bark at the Moon is not so underrated btw
Rust in Peace, Bark at the Moon, Under a Serpent Sun - let me put it that way: There are some pretty well rated riffs on that list. Great Video anyways!
honestly the main riff for still of the night is underrated, For Whose Advantage and Questions is underrated too.
I am so fucking happy that you included Postmortem in this list. The most underrated riff ever.
Amazing, Brooo.
Pd: Happy Birthday to my Dad :D
Fucking good call on that CKY riff. Always loved that one.
Amazing list my dude! Love the testament, nevermore nods... This tone is absolutely filthy btw!!!
Beyond Creation - Fundamental Process (the one at 3:27)
This is peak riff, no question about that
love the Into the Water riff
if you're going for a second part, here are some suggestions: Opeth's Serenity painted death(the 3.15 part), Megadeth's Last Rites/Loved to Deth, Pantera's The art of shredding, Megadeth's My last words, Opeth's Masters Apprentices(2.23 riff), Ghost Walking by Lamb of god, Sea of Madness by Iron Maiden, Judas Be My Guide by Iron Maiden, Nevermore by Symphony X, We die young by Alice in Chains, The blister exists By Slipknot(the chorus riff), Without Judgement by Death, Bite the pain by Death, Empty Words By Death.
8 minutes into the Last Baron, that's dope af
I have no idea why, but I just KNEW it's going to be Opeth at the top for some reason, although I can't recall you mentioning Opeth before. Blackwater Park is in my top ten records by the way. Great video, cheers!
Antisocial it's a song of the french band Trust Anthrax just make a cover of the song
ROCK FIIIIGHT!
The Nevermore one was from the song Born, if I remember correctly. This Godless Endeavor is the album and title track.
The riff from extreme - get the funk out ,,, probably one of my favourite riffs ever
Bark at the Moon.....great call.
Jake E. Lee is perennially underrated.
