Drop B these days is like playing in E flat back in the 80s 😂 Damn most of this list was a trip back to my teens. Good shit. The whole list could have been early VoM, Parkway, and All shall Perish
BFW is suuuuper underrated, ive seen them live twice and they are just amazing! I'd even go as far as saying that they have the best riffs of modern metalcore!
This whole video could've been a Marc Okubo tribute and I would be here for it, love me some Drop B. The intro riffs on Mowgli and We Bow In It's Aura are two of my favorite riffs to play to this day!
@@TheSlowik98 Dude I know lol. So I just watched Misha Mansoor's "The Duh-jent Set" how to play "Jet Packs Was Yes" (with Misha Mansoor of Periphery, I mean Periphery's Misha Mansoor I should say - I also should say I can't type LOL) but he was saying that the word Duh-Jent actually comes from how he frames his power chords and it sounds really metallic (like DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN) and I also read in Guitar wold in the Periphery interview that they claim to be the inventors of Duh-Jent (and that's a load of crap! I'll tell you why) Because if you listen to duh-jent bands, in my opinion Periphery sounds like young atonal Meshuggah because all they have is just BowNowBowDowDooDow WeeNeeDooWaaNaaNeeDoo. It actually kind of sounds like After the Bural except more atonal because of the legato runs that they have. I think that DuhJent was invented by like Animals As Leaders because Tosin Abasi is a way better guitarist, hes way more creative, and even though they both use Axe-Fx (well actually Periphery uses 7-String guitars) but in my opinion, Duh-jent is having alot of different textural chords playing really really well and being inventive - which just isnt want Peirphery is so I just kind of think periphery sucks.
@@TheSlowik98 Do you realize the original comment is a quote from some guy in like 2010 whining about Periphery on a vlog? And then Veil of Maya turned his mocking impression of a djent riff into an actual riff in their song. Which Periphery's Misha helped produce. The layers of parody here are hilarious. Here's the original: ruclips.net/video/Mxtue8cRdYc/видео.html
Killer riffs especially that Nickelback riff I love them!! Next time you should do something by Otep, I know some of their songs are in drop B flat but I think some sound like drop B. You should do drop B flat riffs too that tuning is sick
F#$% YEAH I'm glad I found your channel. For the love of ALL the GODS someone who just jams and doesn't spend half the video trying to sell me something for half the damn video. Awesome fanger bangin' in Drop B bro!
Most of my favorite drop-B riffs are Chevelle riffs, especially “Saferwaters” and “Family System”. There’s also a couple of riffs off Greeley Estate’s ‘NR,NR’ up there too.
Interesting adaptation of babymetal's karate. As seen it can be played in drop b just fine even though the kami band plays it on a 7string in standard (just how I learned it). As always, a very good choice with the riffs overall.
A lot of Landmvrks riffs are in Drop B and super heavy! Lost in a wave and Death are good example. Bleed from within is also a super heavy drop B band, their riffs are incredible
Hell yea man. Nice guitar, I use a soloist usa series in all my videos and it’s quite possibly the smoothest guitar I have ever played. The esp e2 guitars are very smooth but I don’t like the knocks as much.
Slayer actually used Drop B in the song "Payback," one of the better songs on "God Hates Us All," and for a more recent one, I think "A Pale Light Lingers" by Boundaries is in Drop B and it's fucking AWESOME
Ruin by Architects is actually criminally unknown and underappreciated by so many people. It's way to late for them to ever play anything from it again live, but the fact that when Hollow Crown came out they totally omitted anything from that album live is beyond me.
Where Do I Hide is another kickass Drop B nickelback riff worth mentioning. And another Mudvayne riff would have to be Internal Primates Forever. This video was great regardless but i had to mention those riffs!!!
Martyr AD - American Hollow Bleeding Through - Love Lost in a hail of Gunfire (pretty much anything from. This is Love, This is Murderous) Carcass - Buried Dreams (Technically B standard, but still B! lol)
That Nickelback one was a surprise! I enjoyed the whole video but if I have to pick a favorite, I’ll go with “Karate” because I’m such a huge Babymetal fan. I’m curious, do you like any of the new stuff? The Other One has some delightfully crushing riffage on it.

Thanks Drop B aena
The Mydwayne - Dig is a very cool drop B riff!
Sorry i meant Mudvayne😅
@BaenaCarcosa I have a similar guitar it's a Jackson but a different model
Is yours still at 25.5" scale? What gauge strings are you playing? It sounds so good!
NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY HE CHOSE THE NICKELBACK SONG I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
Respect
He’s gotta support his Canadian brothers
LOL BRO
Shout out to the Nickelback riff. That is all
That song fucks. It’s written in honor of dimebag so it’s got some really cool aspects to it
Nickleback always surprises me, I recently found out they did a song on a 7 string which is crazy since their sound isn’t something you’d expect
@@Mangos390 They have some cringe lyrics but they're very good musicians, pretty solid band
@@saidoterodiseno 100% agree I love the band
@@Mangos390 I might add their most popular songs are not necessarily their best ones
Tuned my telecaster in Drop B, that's the main tuning for that guitar since then
Oooh I need to hear that guitar in drop B now
@@InkAndPoet RATM tuned to drop D, not drop B
@@mariuslepont4505 ah thank you
I've got a 50s anniversary, and it won't hold c let alone b, what model is it?
@@tomharrison9546 setup is everything, but i have the Squier telecaster Jim Root, a metal oriented guitar
Drop B these days is like playing in E flat back in the 80s 😂
Damn most of this list was a trip back to my teens. Good shit. The whole list could have been early VoM, Parkway, and All shall Perish
It's not though is it? Dropped tunings lead to different chord voicings over standard tunings. It's not just about having lower notes.
Side of a bullet is unironically an absolute banger
OUTNUMBERED, massive respect. GOATED.
I would've rioted if there was a whole video on drop B riffs and nothing from Zombie EP
Mudvaynes Dig video was so sick when it came out, copped it on limewire and would watch it over and over.
L.D. 50 is such a tough album, STILL!
Limewire!!!! Remember downloading stuff from there with my old dial up internet. Took hours to download a song.
1:00 Slipknot - Left Behind
1:20 BMTH - Pray for Plagues
1:50 The Devil Wears Prada - Outnumbered
2:20 Parkway Drive - Boneyards
2:50 All Shall Perish - Wage Slaves
3:20 Veil of Maya - Punished
3:40 Architecs - Always
4:05 Babymetal - Karate
4:25 Mudvayne - Dig
4:45 Nickelback - Side of A Bullet
One of my favorite tunings!!
Bleed From Within - The Healing
Neaera - spearheading the spawn
The Chariot - The City
Hatebreed - In Ashes They Shall Reap
YES
BFW is suuuuper underrated, ive seen them live twice and they are just amazing! I'd even go as far as saying that they have the best riffs of modern metalcore!
Holy damn what a selection! I only knew the last one, thank you for the three quality discoveries.
-Demon Hunter - Beauty Of the Eyes of the Predator
-Machine Head - Locust
-Bleeding Through - Set Me Free
-Children Of Bodom - I Hurt
Wage Slaves always goes hard. That whole album is a masterpiece
Yess!!!🤘
Fuck yeah! Pray for Plagues, Punisher, AND Side of a Bullet?! This riff salad was tasty AF.
NICKELBACK BROTHER HELL YEAH ‼️
SIDE OF A BULLET!!! Mad respect for including that riff man. I just subscribed
This whole video could've been a Marc Okubo tribute and I would be here for it, love me some Drop B.
The intro riffs on Mowgli and We Bow In It's Aura are two of my favorite riffs to play to this day!
All they have is just bownowbowdowdoodow
literally lmao. generic ass riffs lol

@@yemartini5443 It's literally a copypasta my guy. See the vid I linked to in the other comment.
4:13 juicy harmonic made me throw my phone
Same, gotta take a shower because this one was so dirty...
Love it!
That green Jackson is sick a f! Nice job! 🤘🏼
Killer riffs especially that Nickelback riff I love them!! Next time you should do something by Otep, I know some of their songs are in drop B flat but I think some sound like drop B. You should do drop B flat riffs too that tuning is sick
Forgot how much that All Shall Perish riff slays!
Was just searching for some drop B riffs excellent timing, love seeing some All Shall Perish
“Boneyards” is fucking nasty! 🤘🏻
Side Of A Bullet what a deep cut mention 🤘🏻
F#$% YEAH I'm glad I found your channel. For the love of ALL the GODS someone who just jams and doesn't spend half the video trying to sell me something for half the damn video. Awesome fanger bangin' in Drop B bro!

Man the All Shall Perish riff got me in the feels
dude i really like that jackson. So fresh so clean !
amazing stuff brother. i didnt know side of a bullet was in drop B! learned something new today
nickel back has written in drop b?? lmao
They have a good few drop b and e standard with the e tuned down to b songs
Should've listened is in open b I think
They actually play 7 strings too
I think he plays it in b standard on a 7 string when they perform it live. Chad has a custom shop 7 string Gibson Explorer that he rocks quite a bit.
I was gonna say yeah they play 7 strings too lmao
Holy throwback with that old Architects song!
Master riffage of riffs from a riff master. 🤘🏻
Secretly should have been all VoM riffs. Great video
A part 2 would be great!
Gawd, I love that guitar 😎💚🤘🏻
The Punsher riff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
holy shit thank you for recognising architects hidden album ruin. honestly my favourite album by them.
Shocked you resisted the urge to make this vid 8 mins, mad respect
Bringing my drop b jackson in for jazz guitar today, slipknot riffs in the morning until school starts
Mudvayne and Slipknot 🤘🤘🤘
I love the breakdown riff in "Swallowing the Rabbit whole" by Code Orange it is one of my favorite riffs in drop B tuning.
For TDWP I would've done Escape. It goes so incredibly hard, but still, good pick.
Facial expressions during "Dig"...
best easteregg ever
Great list, the only thing I would add is some Machine Head, like the Davidian riff.
Hell yeah! VoM and Parkway Drive were a big part of my high school playlist
the architects riff is GOATED, always is my favorite song by them
No Doom Metal bands for drop B is outrageous.
Dig and Karate are my favourite
Dig and death blooms by Mudvayne are two songs that got me into metal, will always love that band.
There are loads of riffs I enjoy in Drop B from Demon Hunter! Especially on their third album The Triptych you’d enjoy!
The Remedy - Polaris is literally the funnest song to play in drop B.
so alone by currents is up there too
when I think drop B my mind instantly goes to breaking benjamin - Had enough. That opening riff is such a banger
The list is nearing the end. He's on Dig, and the comments already gave away the Nickelback song, so I'm sad that there are no BLEEDING THROUGH riffs.
really like this heavy riff from Diamond Construct - Psychosis (Starts at 2 : 05), maybe for a part 2 :)
you rock this :) thanks for good riffs :) 🤘
WE SO B OMBING
disturbed - immortalized is my fav drop b riff
I forgot how hard Always is. One of my fave albums! I don't listen to core that much anymore but these are classics.
0:59 Slipknot - Left Behind
1:18 Bring me the Horizon - Pray for Plagues
1:52 The Devil Wears Prada - Outnumbered
2:20 Parkway Drive - Boneyards
2:48 All Shall Perish - Wage Slaves
3:18 Veil of Maya - Punisher
3:41 Architects - Always
4:03 Babymetal - Karate
4:24 Mudvayne - Dig
4:45 Nickleback - Side of a Bullet
Andrew you are the shit for adding that Nickelback riff. You're the goat 🐐
A lot of Landmvrks riffs are in Drop B and super heavy! Lost in a wave and Death are good example.
Bleed from within is also a super heavy drop B band, their riffs are incredible
Hell yea man. Nice guitar, I use a soloist usa series in all my videos and it’s quite possibly the smoothest guitar I have ever played. The esp e2 guitars are very smooth but I don’t like the knocks as much.
The Blinding of False Light by As I Lay Dying. The breakdown riff goes so hard
Love the All Shall Perish!
Always ❤❤❤
"For this video, I am once again asking for your financial assistance."
These riffs sound better than originals with II II amp sim. Give us pt. 2 or maybe 15-20 songs next time
Dig is sick but Death Blooms hits even harder for me.
Annotations of an Autopsy - Gore Gore Gadget. Fun to play and brutal AF
Drop B...etter. Better name for it.😎
You’re onto something 🅱️IG here
Two underrated bands that play in Drop B: Circles (Aus) and A Textbook Tragedy
Slayer actually used Drop B in the song "Payback," one of the better songs on "God Hates Us All," and for a more recent one, I think "A Pale Light Lingers" by Boundaries is in Drop B and it's fucking AWESOME

wow mr baena no crowbar sadge
My favourite Drop B riff is every single Gatecreeper riff
Bleed from within- it lives in me
Where Do I Hide is another kickass Drop B nickelback riff worth mentioning. And another Mudvayne riff would have to be Internal Primates Forever. This video was great regardless but i had to mention those riffs!!!
Hey just wanted to know what does the foam piece under the strings serve?
Punisher is one of my all-time favorites 🤘 Also love Dig!
GREAT AS USUAL!!!!🤟
If there's no veil of Maya imma cry
Edit:aaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy
what is that pillow thing on your guitar neck ?
You're missing Halo by Machine Head, classic riff!
When I bought my first electric guitar I instantly tuned it down to drop B.
0:00 “DROP B GUITAR RIFFS!!!” In Time Signature Beat
Brrr ding brrr ding
Black Stone Cherry is an underrated band that utilizes Drop B a good bit
Martyr AD - American Hollow
Bleeding Through - Love Lost in a hail of Gunfire (pretty much anything from. This is Love, This is Murderous)
Carcass - Buried Dreams (Technically B standard, but still B! lol)
3:20 “All they have is just ‘bwer-na-bwer-da-da-weeneenu-weenuneenur’”
Right on that nickel back riff 🤘🏼When we get to see that aviator in action again!?

this video is how i got into the devil wears prada and heavy as fuck metalcore to begin with, so thank you andrew, you're awesome
them: more cowbell! All shall perish: ok.
Hell yeah for the All Shall Perish love!
do you need special strings to drop so low?
I could listen to this part of boneyards instrumental on repeat
as a D standard enthusiast, i approve this video
The riff in Scrambled by Harms Way is so damn good, maybe in part 2?
Drop A# riffs are awesome. Do drop A# riffs next!
Fuck yeah for some Mudvayne and old Parkway Drive!
Machine Head's Imperium is a drop B masterpiece, so many good riffs and it's heavy af!
