    'I'll never put a f**king bad riff on an album in my life'. From anyone else it would sound arrogant, from Matt Pike it just sounds like an immutable truth.

      Eternal Slumber i mean, in his opinion he doesn’t put boring riffs on his albums. But tbh, who does? Everyone puts out riffs and songs they think are killer, i hope

      Koffie Verslaafde but honestly, Matt is an objectively better riff writer than 99.9% of guitarists. Whether you like his bands or not, it’s impossible to deny his influence on modern metal and his ability to write catchy riffs. I don’t think there are very many guitarists who would say that they’re better riff writers than Matt Pike. I could maybe name 2-3 tops.

      I don’t know man he’s a great songwriter but some of his stuff is pretty underwhelming. I don’t look for complexity either I believe in serving the songs and he does that well. It’s not a competition of who in Metal can write better riffs but as a guy who really popularized this kind of doom and “sludge” (yikes) stuff he’s pretty untouchable but nothing he does is particularly memorable. You could take a bunch of power chords and add extensions on top and play them slowly all day but it’s the context that counts.

    By the way, Matt is available for children's parties. I hired him and it was an experience I'll never forget. A memorable moment: the children requested a song called "baby shark" and Matt knew it! He said "how about 'Baby Shark' in C?" Afterwards he dressed up like Conan and showed the children how to properly smash a pinata for its spoils.
