- Basically, this is a video of guitar bands from or close to the Seattle music scene in the late '80s and early '90s, or that were connected to it in some way. And yeah I'm sure a few people will remind me in the comments that they didn't like being labeled, but for the purpose of this video I'm calling them gruunnnnggee!

Видеоклипы
Mix of Black Sabbath, punk rock, hardcore punk, some psychedelic and garage rock from 60's... Love it. You play it like someone touched by God. Especially Nirvana riffs.
Did you read that from some generic magazine or some poser wanna be music critic? I really don't hear any sabbath, let alone "punk rock" in any of this so called "grunge" crap.
@@Kris_P._Bey_Ken I'm don't read any magazines, just listen to music and use my ears, and connect the dots. It's just true. And nothing to say.
@@Kris_P._Bey_Ken if you don't hear any Sabbath, you must be kinda deaf boi.
@@postpunk6947 point out a song that has a "black sabbath sound" and I'll take a listen. Other than that YES I AM DEAF.
@@Kris_P._Bey_Ken on this compilation? First one, Melvins Leech, L7, TAD Jinx, Soundgarden Room..., 7 Year Bitch, Mudhoney Suck you to dry, Soundgarden 4th of July...
Man 4th of july is one of the heaviest darkest riffs period. That song is a masterpiece. Good list!
Alice in chains Am I inside is the darkest song I've ever heard, it's not heavy tho
@@chriscornell8810 Have you heard frogs?
Easily one of the heaviest
Yea, it definitely leans into doom metal territory
Not really lmao you haven't heard much metal
Grunge is one of the few “musical fads” that has aged like a fine wine
as opposed to hair metal
Except for the vocals, I'm sorry
What color was kurt nobrains eyes when he died? . . . . . . blue... One blew this way one blew that way. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Kris_P._Bey_Ken Hahahahaha 😐
@@zeth7109 😂
Came for the L7, heard L7. I'm satisfied
Listen to El pibe de los astilleros by Los Redondos. You'll be surprised
And you even wore flannel. Nice. This makes me very hungry for a Soundgarden's Best Riffs list.
This video was absolutely filthy, especially that "4th of July" Soundgraden riff on that SG, sounded vicious. Another great grunge riff that you'd probably love is "Tyler" by Toadies. Super underrated 90s grunge group from Texas. Their '94 release "Rubberneckers" has even more filthier riffs.
4th Of July is a sick riff. Just so woozy. You want to speed it up when you play it on guitar. That would be wrong.
Playing SG on an SG...what a concept!
that song is in drop Z
@@silhouettoofaman2935 Kim Thayil didn't play an sg, he played a guild s-100
Oh man, Rubberneck is perfection!
It Ain’t Like That is such a dark and heavy riff. Still one of my favourites. Great job as always!
All time great Grunge riff
metal riff Alice in Chains is heavy metal
Kim Thayil cites it in an interview as one of his favorites, and requests it when asked to play live with AIC (check for Kim/AIC footage with William Duvall singing). He also used it at the MoPop tribute to AIC, with Shaina Shepherd singing. They killed it :)
Posers
Dude you really nailed the tones on these riffs, also I love your player jaguar and your playing, Great video!
Thank you!
@@bloxsy_ your welcome :)
@@bloxsy_ seriously!! What pedals were you using??
@@therealnagel the white noisey sound in Them Bones reminds me of a super high gain distortion pedal like a DOD Grunge or something similar
Grunge,one of my favorite and influential genres,isnt dead,but in a other way alive.
The attitude will always remain because it has that punk rock influence, the music may be dead but the attitude will always stay alive
Grunge didn't exist. They were different genres but with similar lyrics
Room a Thousand Years wide is underappreciated. Glad you included it.
My fav Soundgarden song
It's so good probably my favorite Soundgarden riff
Mine as well. Love soundgarden and it's so hard to pick a fav song for me, but i always come back to room a thought years wide
thanks for putting "i don't know anything" in the video. i love that riff, it's so easy and yet sounds special
Perfect pedal/amp/downtune combo to replicate the sludge Kim Thayil was oozing on "4th of July"
"Black Sabbath meets The Beatles" is how i usually describe grunge in the simplest of terms.
I know it has roots in punk music but most people dont know the differences between genres/subgenres when it comes to rock, metal, or punk... so yeah.
I don't get the Beatles part tho..
@Luigi Conder kurt himself loved the Beatles and nirvana is full of melody, hooks, and simplicity
Dave Grohl: "Our songs were simple. They were children songs, that was the unspoken rule." (Might be paraphrasing.)
That's what makes me think of the Beatles.
"Black Sabbath meets the Beatles" is a good way to describe Nirvana to someone who's never listened to them. Obviously more experienced music lovers would compare them to the pixies instead but not everyone has heard of Nirvana or the Pixies. Most people know the Beatles though lol
That tone you got on Breed is absolutely filthy. Spot on. Same on Hunger Strike. Fantastic tone. Well done.
Touch Me I’m Sick is my favourite grunge song. Underrated classic
Citizen Dick did it better
Grunge isn’t dead
Nor will it ever be.
@@jesseennis2215 indeed sir
lol
lol
lol 😂
Appreciate you playing some deep cuts and getting heavy n dirty with them. The 90's are the decade when I fell in love with the guitar. The love affair remains strong!
I just realized how close Mad Season - I Don't Know Anything is to Silverchair - Slave
@Téo Nicácio Yessss, I've thought about these ones already lol
Silverchair basically copped the bulk of Sabbath's Sweet Leaf, too.
Sillverchair definitely took the riff from MS. Silverchair fans usually say Slave was created years before it was released and that may be true but if you listen to Slave in 1995(it's on YT) the riff sounds much different than the album version.
I LOVE that you added riffs from the trees,malfunkshun,green river and tad those bands are great but sadly underrated
4 songs of Chris Cornell in this video, always a pleasure hearing this
I cant be the only one that hopes grunge has a comeback
I just want rock to have a comeback in general. It's been pretty lowkey my whole life. Besides Deftones and a few other smaller bands it feels kinda barren
@@leviathan3630 yes I agree. You should listen to a band called “the jins”. I’m sure you’ll like them
it will have
There are modern grunge revival bands. Like Superheaven, for instance
Grunge is the best. Other great tracks by other grunge bands -
Skin Yard - Headswill
Rein Sanction - F Train
Blood Circus - Blood Man
Janitor Joe - Voucher
Seaweed - Recall
Hater - Roadside
Gruntruck - Not a Lot to Save

There are so many bands here I never heard about, and I feel I'll come across some beautiful surprises if I look them up. So I'll use this list, thx!
My grain of sand:
My Sister's Machine - Hands and Feet
nill- criminal
@@GerM_tbo True. I'd completely forgotten about bands and songs that aren't on Spotify, like My Sister's Machine. Here's a few more that should show up on RUclips, if no where else -
Pile Up - Makes Me Mad
Nudeswirl - Sooner or Later
Swallow - Sink
Mono Men - Away
Some Velvet Sidewalk - Mouse & Rat
Sprinkler - Peerless
Napalm Beach - Never Forgive
ethereal - in My head
Babes in Toyland - Sweet 69 and Dust Cake Boy are lovely too.
Came here for nirvana
Is it just me or does his tone near the start seem like it would fit Godzilla by blue Oyster cult perfectly
This video is soooo sick!! Do you think you’re ever gonna do a Soundgarden compilation?
Tad is so heavyyy
Heaviest grunge Band
Best era of music
Facts
Preach
Milk It’s main riff is one of my all time favourites so it’s great to see it here!
Mudhoney is so underrated
I saw green river live at two reunion shows..green river is one of my favorites!I met mark arm at a show here in Seattle and got him to sign my green river CD book and a few mudhoney CD books and gave 2 of them to my concert homies
.still I finally met mark !it was a few years ago but I'm still stoked about it!
I'm glad that you put riffs from bands that are not the big 4 like malfunkshun, screaming trees, etc.
Breed, Loud Love, 4th of July, Them Bones, Plump. Absolute bangers
"OH!" Is what I said when the black screen made me think my phone suddenly died. I wouldn't have the ending any other way though, it really fits the mood of the video. Good job
this is sick! nice flannel btw
Thanks!
Mudhoney concert early 90's at The Metro in Chicago... I've never seen the whole crowd move from one side of the floor to the other so quickly. These guys were consistently amazing live.
Saw them in a small Nashville venue just a couple years ago. They still sound better than the record after all these years.
Man that was great. Thanks for covering the best part of the 90’s!!
Great video man! I’m glad you included a Melvins song! Rock on🤘🤘
Hole, L7, Green River and 7 Year Bitch finally get some recognition!
Leeech is a Song by Green River. The Melvins version is just a Cover.
I love both versions :)
Great video, there’s so many brilliant grunge riffs. Thanks to you & the comments section for leading me to discover so many new songs. 4th of July sounded absolutely brutal on the SG by the way!
90s riffs next? Radiohead? Chili Peppers? Great vid as always btw
One of the things I've always loved abt really early grunge riffage Is how dreary it is, Leech, P.C.C., Skins In My Closet, With Yo Heart Not Yo Hands, Slow Runner. Just dirty fat riffs that make you feel like you're running from shadows in an inky alleyway.
Great list and great covers of them 👌
Nice to see some different nirvana ones up there, think this list was a “negative creep” away from being perfect lol
Really enjoyed it, well done buddy
Thank you very much!
Bruh imagine 10 my bloody valentine riffs
Yo that 4th of July was badass brother
grunge is a mix of alternative rock, punk music, metal, country music. often with an omnipresent and hypnotic bass.
I jut love metal and grunge sooo much! And what a beautiful black jaguar! Awesome
So many really cool riff what's represents to my feels, life, and....I'm just really glad for those couple surprise track. The full video an awesome job with insanely incredible choices! You know I watched this when Mark Lanegan's 🕊️ passed and I really feel now the "grunge is dead" but you playing Screaming Trees and I just...man....c'mon man! I'm so happy and smile to up, U know!
Btw. one of my fave was the Mad Season 🙏🏻 Thank you dude, keep it up!!!
GRUNGE iS NOT DEAD! 💜😎✌🏻
I wanted you to keep going on each one of these. Well done!
The way he played Breed tho 😳👌
great that you included milk it, one of my fav nirvana songs
Love this videos so much, I will love to see best bass grunge bass riffs or some kind of that stuff. Keep it up!
I miss Shadow Of The Season, Plush and Outshined in this top
I really love your playing!, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
The opening malfunkshin riff is pure metal. Nothing less nothing more.
That Jag is SICK..real sick..great playing as well..good work bro
Thanks mate.
Grunge is one of my all time favorite music to listen to, especially when I'm gaming. I remember wearing grunge clothes in high school.
Thats awesome mate, really cranks too that sound... another great vid.
3:03 god bless your soul,mate. That song is SO UNDERRATED
THANK YOU for including Tad, most underrated grunge band
Fuckk yea all the bangers! Love Deep Six, where I first heard of Malfunkshun. Everything from Tad to Mad Season on here badass video man
Shoudlve sprinkled some mother love bone in there
This account does not miss
Its obvious you are a great guitarist I would love to hear you do the best Johnny Thunders riffs and Greenday riffs.
DUDE THANK YOU FOR GETTING MALFUNKSHUN!!!
I truly enjoy your compilation videos.
Thanks mate!
The awesomest music EVER!
4th of july is absolutely perfec, so dark, so strong
Great choices, love this video! 🔥but Sex type thing's riff missed maybe? 😎👍
My dude even threw some Tad in there !!! Awesome bro
i love your guitar, it looks so awesome!
superb - a few in here I want to learn - thanks for posting :)
So glad School and 4th of July were on this video, very underrated songs in my opinion. 😊
Thank you for using an SG guitar. I appreciate this touch.
Sick! I love your tone.
Awesome job i just bought a telecaster, very happy 😊❤
Happy to see Mad Season here. I was obsessed with that debut album, they were amazing
Green River & Malfunkshun representation, instant like.
Thoroughly enjoyed that with my coffee Sir
Cracking out the SG for 4th of July.
Great video as always!!!... But still waiting for the Pixies video tho
yo I saw you use the fender jaguar blk and Ive only seen bad reviews about it which is upsetting because Ive never seen a gutiar I like the look of more, is it really as bad as people put it out to be? did you have any problems (sick vid btw)
I like it but then again I haven't really played Jaguars before so I don't know what to compare it to. Only problem with it is the bridge and the ringing of the strings you get with it when playing sometimes and saddle screws sometimes moving. I like the way it sounds and feels though and enjoy the coil split feature on the humbucker.
@@bloxsy_ thanks!
The heavier riff from hunger strike is probably my most favourite "grunge" riff
wasn't expecting Hole, L7, and 7 Year Bitch because they're never included in these kinds of videos. was very pleasantly surprised.
Green River and The Melvins, the starting point of the “Seattle Sound”
Tones on point! Nice playing
4th of july sounds insane,u make the grunge sound in that sg!
Finally someone includes the melvins in their video
Yeahhhh!!! Grunge will live forever🖤🤘🏻Amazing job mate
Man, you tune School hard af. That was awesome! Keep doing it!
Didn't expect some Malfunkshun ❤️
Amazing tone giving justice to grunge with your jaguar and flannel 😁
Great to see Milk It!
Glad to see 4th of july. My favourite Soundgarden song.
This man knows his grunge to a tee. Mad respect. Fuxkin mad respect
Whats fuxkin mean? It reminds me of the word "fucking" but I can't be too sure what word you meant.
Almost disappointed that I don’t get to complain that you left out TAD!
Bloxsy my inspiration for playing guitar
Wow great selection! What pedals/amps did you use? Thx!
No amp. I just used a Boss DS-1, Joyo AC Tone (clean parts) and EHX Little Big Muff for the fuzzier parts
Nice playing man :)
Thanks man.
Great job!! But no Stone Temple Pilots or Silverchair? :(
A part II would be cool tho 🤘🏻
Those bands weren't from Seattle.
