Thanks so much for the positive feedback guys, really happy with how this came out and had a lot of fun doing it! It’s all about sharing cool riffs so I’ll keep em coming! All styles!
Splendid idea bro! Love that you are making the full track yourself instead of just jamming the riffs on guitar only. Makes it so much more appealing and interesting!
Great content idea! When I play my Rabea Carthus through the JHS Bonsai and Buffalo Germ Fuzz or Boss FZ2 into my Friedman BE50 Deluxe I start making those disgusted faces. Get around copyright strikes by recreating tracks, very smart!
That’s the thing with Toska - masters of ambient quiet to sudden gnarly filth. Top track that still makes me grimace with joy is the transition from light to heavy parts on Illumo. Makes snot uncontrollably drip from my nostrils when I play along with this, even today. I kid you not. Can’t imagine what my face is doing when this occurs. Enough said.
1- Chalk Teeth 2- Chasm, the 'breakdown' right before the end of the song 3- Riffs Under The Bonsai Tree 4- the riff for Djent 2020 5- the breakdown from Black Friday Hope to be able to play every single one of these one day. You're my favourite guitarist Bea, and your music is so much inspiring. Cheers mate!
The first time I heard ‘New Level’ by Pantera, I pulled such a strong grimace that it hurt my face. 1994, Ozfest. I was in a Pantera tribute band for 7 years ❤️
Yes!! And the way they go full palm muted, then half-muted, then open strumming with the riff is such simple way to make it more dynamic, but so so sick
1. I'm just gonna say the band Power Trip because they have so many nasty riffs 2. Sleep - Dopesmoker 3. Mars Red Sky - The Collector 4. Tool - Invincible (after the bass solo) 5. Omerta - Lamb of God
Could probably choose 5 pantera tracks that make me make that face. Although demiurge by messhugha definatly gets in there. Amazing sounds on your recreations, did all the artists justice
One of my favorites is a pretty underrated one. "Lucifer's Rocking Chair" by Cancer Bats is such a simple, but filthy riff. I can't help but make the stank face ever time I play it.
Just now got around to this… I literally cheered with joy and clapped when you broke out Pantera! Had it cranked on the house system and grimaced with disgusting joy 🤩
Wes Borland is such an AMAZING guitarist, I've always lived his style both musically and aesthetically. It was so cool growing up with so many legendary bands, but Wes's playing always stood out in terms of just sheer attitude and heavy groove🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Who didn't join in, making their own grimace? You can't help it if you're getting into it. - Chances are you'd air-guitar along with it. Maybe even mimed with your own guitar. Perhaps even played along. - Great stuff, Rabea! Loads o' fun too!
My number one is probably off of that Far Beyond Driven album as well. My personal favorite is 5 Minutes Alone. So heavy with such groove. Can’t get enough of it.
I truly enjoy your work sir, these videos will go into my routine inability to not push play when I get a notification. Excellent choices, for sure! Thank you! The chorus riff from Haken - The Architect makes me make the face, every damn time.
super cool concept for a video series! There were some curve ball but ultimately unsurprising riffs in there, but the Meshuggah riff was in my head as soon as i read the title of the video. what a stonking riff! between that and when I discovered Spirit box on your channel, Holy Roller and Demiurge have been my go to gurn riffs of last year.
Which song not to pick from Meshuggah ? Pineal gland optics chorus ? End riff of Dancers to a discordant system ? End riff of Swarm ? Behind the Sun ? These guys build riffs like you build a freaking bulldozer.
Great vid. Thanks for introducing me to Tigercub. Number one for me would be Limp Bizkit - My Generation - when it gets heavy AF towards the end after the bridge. *Grimace*
Please do more of these! I loved seeing you play these in a full band setting and also hearing your thoughts on why you chose exactly these riffs. Waiting for the next one! 🙌
Tigercub has some killer basslines/tones. Props to your buddy! Tom Morello was an inspiration for me to pick up the electric - a treasure trove of bangin’ riffzzz. I don’t know how many times one of his will just pop into my head and I’ve got to go listen to whatever album it’s on ASAP. Revolver and The Wind Below were the two last ones - my daughter just started playing and she did the chicka chick - my son was like “I don’t think you’re supposed to do that” and I said oh no. That’s. A thing. Played The Wind Below. :)
When you broke into the b riff from I'm Broken i was just pulling filth face and headbanging in my loungeroom while my Mrs is watching TV thinking WTF is up with this idiot. One of the best riffs ever written. Absolutely filthy. BTW your mix made it even more filthy, with the much better tone and fuller sound overall.
Bea….. fantastic choices! Four I knew & loved, and one that I need to investigate (Tigercub). Keep up the great work. You always keep it interesting. 👍
Love this Bea! When the “face” comes out in your playing it’s always BAD-ASS riffage with huge tone! This new series is great looking forward as always to more from you!
Dude! Mad respect you adding the new Limp Bizkit riff here with all of these titans! I didn’t expect the Pantera riff either! Love that you’re playing all of this yourself too! Hope to see some presets on the new QC presets in the cloud 😉 Much love from South Florida ✌️
definitely enjoyed this. Thanks for talking about the equipment you use as you do these - as someone just starting to learn guitar, hearing the details like that is super-useful.
Mate you did well whittling this down to 5 - I ended up doing a riff a day similar to this during one of the UK lockdowns to try and share some beefy riffs with people that might not have heard of some of them. Killer job on these, they sound monster! Top 5 for me currently Chevelle - Humanoid March of the yeti - earth tone 9 (end riff) Helmet - In the meantime Sevendust - Against the world Light of the Morning - Cut and stained Looking forward to the series - hope you revisit this one again with another 5 or so - always down for hearing some stank face riffs
YES! I totally endorse this idea!!! I love Riffs and you always have good taste in Riffs, you're own as well as your influences! I'd have to say Aggy Bas would have to be in my top 5 for sure, looking forward to seeing what other choice riffs you bring to the table in this series, and hopefully some more of your own!
My favorites: Sleepwalker - Tigercub Second Death - Stray From The Path Still Alive - The Ghost Inside The Lines - Beartooth (not super duper heavy but one of my introductions to heavier music and it floored me) Freak on A Leash - Korn
Ah yes, time to discover new songs and bands again... Great idea, love it!!! If I'd to pick these, I probably couldn't decide... However, what made me do the faces really bad recently was listening to Vildhjartas new album; it has just so many great and absolutely disgusting riffs, so I can only recommend checking it out!
As always, great vid man, looking forward to the next in this series. However I gotta say that Demiurge eeeeasily takes the number one spot for me. Nothing in the world can stop me from pulling down the corners of my mouth and squinting my eyes when that riff drops. Absolute facebaster
Top 10 (because I can't just pick 5) ones for me in no particular order, for anyone who likes supremely chunky death metal/hardcore/grindcore: Misery Index - Conjuring The Cull Left Behind - Eternity of Empty END - Absence Bloodbath - Eaten Rotten Sound - Caged Nasum - Circle of Defeat Bolt Thrower - The Killchain Justice For The Damned - Machine of War (and every other riff they've made) Nails - Unsilent Death Undergang - Tvangstanker
No particular order Meshuggah- Do Not Look Down Periphery- Remain Indoors End of the World- God Forbid Disciple- Slayer Pantera- WAAAAY too many to pick from Mastodon- Steambreather Baroness- Desperation Burns Megadeth- Kill the King Testament- More Than Meets the Eye Protest the Hero- Bloodmeat Ok I’ll keep going if I don’t stop myself…lol
Oooh. Yeah. Especially the one that goes after the first verse part (right around 2:25 i think). Not only my face hurts when hearing it, I also want to break something. And that ride on the drums
My favourite Pantera album, my favourite Pantera song, my favourite Pantera riff!! I took the limited edition album into school in 1995, played it loud and got detention, totally worth it 🤘
My 5 filthy riffs off the cuff (no particular order): 1 - Gardenia from Kyuss 2 - That short riff from Type O Negative - Black No. 1 3 - Any riff from Bleed of Meshuggah ( or any Meshuggah song really) 4 - Vildhjarta - Regnar Bensin ( riff after the breakdown half way through the track 5 - That 2nd riff from Rabea in the Riff Wars
Damn Rabea, as soon as I read the title of this video, I’m Broken was the riff that immediately came to mind as my #1. Glad to see you got it right as well ;) Keep up the great work!
Totally agree about Koloss! I love all of their music, but that album in particular is just brutal across the board. #1 and #2 for me are a tie, I wouldn’t be able to pick which riff should rate higher for this list
Thanks so much for the positive feedback guys, really happy with how this came out and had a lot of fun doing it! It’s all about sharing cool riffs so I’ll keep em coming! All styles!
Splendid idea bro! Love that you are making the full track yourself instead of just jamming the riffs on guitar only. Makes it so much more appealing and interesting!
Great content idea! When I play my Rabea Carthus through the JHS Bonsai and Buffalo Germ Fuzz or Boss FZ2 into my Friedman BE50 Deluxe I start making those disgusted faces. Get around copyright strikes by recreating tracks, very smart!
Gives you that stank face bro
Nice, grooves that start and end with that stank face.
Fuck yeah. Clutch
Honestly one of the top of my list is Toska's Congress, that opening after the ambient style build up just hits so good.
Yeeeep. M A N Y of his riffs make me make the face.
That’s the thing with Toska - masters of ambient quiet to sudden gnarly filth. Top track that still makes me grimace with joy is the transition from light to heavy parts on Illumo. Makes snot uncontrollably drip from my nostrils when I play along with this, even today. I kid you not. Can’t imagine what my face is doing when this occurs. Enough said.
@@isteve520 that’s one of my favorites :) Probably top three with Abomasum and Congress. Hard to pick though.
Perfect number one choice! One of the best riffs ever written by one of the best bands of all time. Pantera 4 life.
1- Chalk Teeth
2- Chasm, the 'breakdown' right before the end of the song
3- Riffs Under The Bonsai Tree
4- the riff for Djent 2020
5- the breakdown from Black Friday
Hope to be able to play every single one of these one day. You're my favourite guitarist Bea, and your music is so much inspiring. Cheers mate!
Grimace with joyful disgust is the perfect encapsulation of all that is heavy... can't wait for more episodes of this series!!
The first time I heard ‘New Level’ by Pantera, I pulled such a strong grimace that it hurt my face. 1994, Ozfest.
I was in a Pantera tribute band for 7 years ❤️
Yes!! And the way they go full palm muted, then half-muted, then open strumming with the riff is such simple way to make it more dynamic, but so so sick
2:45 in No one loves me and neither do I by them crooked vultures
1. I'm just gonna say the band Power Trip because they have so many nasty riffs
2. Sleep - Dopesmoker
3. Mars Red Sky - The Collector
4. Tool - Invincible (after the bass solo)
5. Omerta - Lamb of God
Great list! I'm not sure if that would be my Top 5 picks, but some of them would, and all of them are among the Top 10! :D
Could probably choose 5 pantera tracks that make me make that face. Although demiurge by messhugha definatly gets in there. Amazing sounds on your recreations, did all the artists justice
Domination would be mine, the tempo change from the solo ending into the breakdown is so good.
"Messenger of fear in sight..." 🤤
tigercub riffs are unmatched
Tigercub is going straight into my bookmarks list.
One of my favorites is a pretty underrated one. "Lucifer's Rocking Chair" by Cancer Bats is such a simple, but filthy riff. I can't help but make the stank face ever time I play it.
Underrated stank face riff. The outro to boulevard of broken dreams. I've been saying it for years. Great list!
I think that has to be one of Green Day’s heaviest moments
Seeing the fro flow when you headbang is majestic!
Absolutely love that collage of faces at the beginning, especially Devi
Totemist EP is phenomenal. Really looking forward to the follow-up.
Was literally making that face to the new ffaa album when this notification came up xD
That first riff is tasty!!! Can’t wait to see more in the series! Gotta be some karnivool coming surely!!!
Probably in the 'bass tones that make me grimace with joyful disgust' 🤤
Just now got around to this… I literally cheered with joy and clapped when you broke out Pantera! Had it cranked on the house system and grimaced with disgusting joy 🤩
YES ! Keep then coming please ! I love when you do these videos. Your top 5 most influencial riffs video made me discover karnivool 🤘🏻
honestly very impressed with how spot on you got that Dimebag tone dude
Wes Borland is such an AMAZING guitarist, I've always lived his style both musically and aesthetically. It was so cool growing up with so many legendary bands, but Wes's playing always stood out in terms of just sheer attitude and heavy groove🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love to see some Tigercub on this list. That Sleepwalker riff (along with the B-riff that they play at some points) is an absolute slap in the face.
This was sick!! Can't wait for more episodes!
Rabea "Makes me grimace with joyful disgust"
me, in southern Ohio "You mean stankface?"
PanterA FTW!! that ending riff is indeed a classic dime riff! headbanging until it hurts!
Listening to Tigercub now, thanks for putting them on my radar this is brilliant!
love this series!!great riffs
Who didn't join in, making their own grimace? You can't help it if you're getting into it. - Chances are you'd air-guitar along with it. Maybe even mimed with your own guitar. Perhaps even played along. - Great stuff, Rabea! Loads o' fun too!
That is my favorite Messhuggah riff!!! I was so pleased to hear it on the list. Also Audioslave was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for good tunes, Bea!
Demiurge was the first tune I thought of when I saw the title of the video. So glad it was on here!
I live this idea for a series! Please share the QC patches!!!
I literally was thinking I'm Broken when I read the title of this video. Killer list.
effin great mate! Can't wait to watch more of this series!
Anyone who gives light to anything Tigercub makes me happy 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Appreciate you Rabea. Thanks for always bringing the groove and the tone 🤌🏻
The "stank face" For me one of the stankiest riffs is "Isolation - Alter Bridge"
Yeah! A lot of Tremonti's riffs are huge face melters 😅🤘🏻
My number one is probably off of that Far Beyond Driven album as well. My personal favorite is 5 Minutes Alone. So heavy with such groove. Can’t get enough of it.
How awesome that you discovered Pantera in 2006 and some young fella will see this video and discover them in 2022. Ageless riffs
I truly enjoy your work sir, these videos will go into my routine inability to not push play when I get a notification. Excellent choices, for sure! Thank you!
The chorus riff from Haken - The Architect makes me make the face, every damn time.
super cool concept for a video series!
There were some curve ball but ultimately unsurprising riffs in there, but the Meshuggah riff was in my head as soon as i read the title of the video. what a stonking riff!
between that and when I discovered Spirit box on your channel, Holy Roller and Demiurge have been my go to gurn riffs of last year.
Great alternative choices. Lovely work on the Pantera, it sounded huge! But..... killing in the name of. That's the daddy!
Which song not to pick from Meshuggah ?
Pineal gland optics chorus ? End riff of Dancers to a discordant system ? End riff of Swarm ? Behind the Sun ?
These guys build riffs like you build a freaking bulldozer.
Thanks for showing me Tigercub! Blew my mind.
Great vid. Thanks for introducing me to Tigercub. Number one for me would be Limp Bizkit - My Generation - when it gets heavy AF towards the end after the bridge. *Grimace*
Riff that I love but also
That was great! Please more riffs!
Great video, love hearing stuff like this and occasionally you find some new music
Please do more of these! I loved seeing you play these in a full band setting and also hearing your thoughts on why you chose exactly these riffs. Waiting for the next one! 🙌
Loved this episode. Can’t wait for more in this series
This was super fun. Look forward to more videos like it.
Lovin it - finding that I prefer your versions to the tracks that you picked! Looking forward to the next instalments!
Great video and looking forward to more similar lists.
Thanks for sharing. So much fun!!
that pinch harmonic at 7:46 was beautiful
Tigercub has some killer basslines/tones. Props to your buddy!
Tom Morello was an inspiration for me to pick up the electric - a treasure trove of bangin’ riffzzz. I don’t know how many times one of his will just pop into my head and I’ve got to go listen to whatever album it’s on ASAP. Revolver and The Wind Below were the two last ones - my daughter just started playing and she did the chicka chick - my son was like “I don’t think you’re supposed to do that” and I said oh no. That’s. A thing. Played The Wind Below. :)
On a different note…. Great seeing happy, healthy and looking fit. We love you Bea.
Hell yeah, excited for this series
I love it! So fun! Please keep producing this series
Loved every single second of this video, great selection, greetings from Mexico!
Definitely love this content - Love it! Please do as many as you can or until it's not longer fun.
When you broke into the b riff from I'm Broken i was just pulling filth face and headbanging in my loungeroom while my Mrs is watching TV thinking WTF is up with this idiot. One of the best riffs ever written. Absolutely filthy. BTW your mix made it even more filthy, with the much better tone and fuller sound overall.
I absolutely love this series! Keep it coming, Rabea!
Bea….. fantastic choices! Four I knew & loved, and one that I need to investigate (Tigercub). Keep up the great work. You always keep it interesting. 👍
Loads of love for Audioslave, Josh from JHS shouted that album out on the MXR Blue Octave pedal video today
Loving the new series! Pantera at #1! Can’t go wrong there! Looking forward to seeing more content like this!
Great mix of different genres! Well done
Yes, Your onto something here brother....the OoO face...lol Great shit bro luv it , that Groovy, funky, crunchy melt ya face off.... \m/
Love this Bea! When the “face” comes out in your playing it’s always BAD-ASS riffage with huge tone! This new series is great looking forward as always to more from you!

Much love from South Florida ✌️
Let's goooooo South Florida gang
@@maxalaintwo3578 letss goooo south florida WYA 954

Great list! I love a good stanky heavy riff. The last riff on Ion Dissonance “the surge” turns my face inside out every time I hear it.
definitely enjoyed this. Thanks for talking about the equipment you use as you do these - as someone just starting to learn guitar, hearing the details like that is super-useful.
Mate you did well whittling this down to 5 - I ended up doing a riff a day similar to this during one of the UK lockdowns to try and share some beefy riffs with people that might not have heard of some of them. Killer job on these, they sound monster!
Top 5 for me currently
Chevelle - Humanoid
March of the yeti - earth tone 9 (end riff)
Helmet - In the meantime
Sevendust - Against the world
Light of the Morning - Cut and stained
Looking forward to the series - hope you revisit this one again with another 5 or so - always down for hearing some stank face riffs
Love this concept. More please.
Definitely keep this going, you have great taste in music
Dude, please keep these coming! I discovered SpiritBox, Architects and Karnivool through your vids.
YES! I totally endorse this idea!!! I love Riffs and you always have good taste in Riffs, you're own as well as your influences! I'd have to say Aggy Bas would have to be in my top 5 for sure, looking forward to seeing what other choice riffs you bring to the table in this series, and hopefully some more of your own!
Great list!! I also love Do Not Look Down from Koloss as well for the stank face!!!
Great list. Love the killer Audioslave showing! Incredible record \m/
My favorites:
Sleepwalker - Tigercub
Second Death - Stray From The Path
Still Alive - The Ghost Inside
The Lines - Beartooth (not super duper heavy but one of my introductions to heavier music and it floored me)
Freak on A Leash - Korn
Ah yes, time to discover new songs and bands again... Great idea, love it!!!
If I'd to pick these, I probably couldn't decide...
However, what made me do the faces really bad recently was listening to Vildhjartas new album; it has just so many great and absolutely disgusting riffs, so I can only recommend checking it out!
Meshuggah always, ALWAYS brings out my naughty face! Like the new series dude 🤘
As always, great vid man, looking forward to the next in this series. However I gotta say that Demiurge eeeeasily takes the number one spot for me. Nothing in the world can stop me from pulling down the corners of my mouth and squinting my eyes when that riff drops. Absolute facebaster
Top 10 (because I can't just pick 5) ones for me in no particular order, for anyone who likes supremely chunky death metal/hardcore/grindcore:
Misery Index - Conjuring The Cull
Left Behind - Eternity of Empty
END - Absence
Bloodbath - Eaten
Rotten Sound - Caged
Nasum - Circle of Defeat
Bolt Thrower - The Killchain
Justice For The Damned - Machine of War (and every other riff they've made)
Nails - Unsilent Death
Undergang - Tvangstanker
No particular order
Meshuggah- Do Not Look Down
Periphery- Remain Indoors
End of the World- God Forbid
Disciple- Slayer
Pantera- WAAAAY too many to pick from
Mastodon- Steambreather
Baroness- Desperation Burns
Megadeth- Kill the King
Testament- More Than Meets the Eye
Protest the Hero- Bloodmeat
Ok I’ll keep going if I don’t stop myself…lol
Loved it! For me, well I make that face about 1:11 into Aggy Bas everytime I hear it. Huge.
Great list and a nice variety of styles! I have recently been playing riffs from Heir Apparent by Opeth and several of them make me grimace in joy
Oooh. Yeah. Especially the one that goes after the first verse part (right around 2:25 i think). Not only my face hurts when hearing it, I also want to break something. And that ride on the drums
Man what a name for a video! Great selection of tracks, too!
I did kinda miss Rammstein in there but man, such filty songs... You truly have earned my subscription.
Very good... going to check out tiger cub now sounded amazing.
My favourite Pantera album, my favourite Pantera song, my favourite Pantera riff!! I took the limited edition album into school in 1995, played it loud and got detention, totally worth it 🤘
My 5 filthy riffs off the cuff (no particular order):
1 - Gardenia from Kyuss
2 - That short riff from Type O Negative - Black No. 1
3 - Any riff from Bleed of Meshuggah ( or any Meshuggah song really)
4 - Vildhjarta - Regnar Bensin ( riff after the breakdown half way through the track
5 - That 2nd riff from Rabea in the Riff Wars
This is Awesone dude, keep doing this. PS: Demiurge definitively number 1 !!
I love riffs and lists
Super cool video. You really look happy doing it too! Do More like this!
Damn Rabea, as soon as I read the title of this video, I’m Broken was the riff that immediately came to mind as my #1. Glad to see you got it right as well ;) Keep up the great work!
YESSS!! Stellar choices and playing Rabea!
Couldn't have picked a better no.1 and love the inclusion of Wes Borland - amazing musician and writer.
So fun to watch Bea play all the parts. If I were as good at any one instrument as Bea is at just drums, I would consider myself a success!
Totally agree about Koloss! I love all of their music, but that album in particular is just brutal across the board. #1 and #2 for me are a tie, I wouldn’t be able to pick which riff should rate higher for this list
Awesome list. Some new to me. Some familiar. Keep this series going
