Heaviest riffs imo: 1) Last Rites/Loved to Deth main riff 2) that one The Conjuring riff (though Good Mourning/Black Friday as a whole is a much heavier song) 3) "Distorted figures walk the streets, it's 1999" riff from Set the World Afire 4) Take No Prisoners "Love and war" section 5) Captive Honour chorus riff 6) Train of Consequences pre solo 7) Hard to say Cryptic Writings is heavy at all, but Trust pre solo 8) Prince of Darkness as a whole 9) No idea, TWNAH is a shit album 10) Blackmail the Universe right after the first verse is over 11) Haven't listened to much of UA, so can't say 12) This Day We Fight, almost feels like a sequel to Take no Prisoners 13) Same as UA 14) Dance in the Rain last section 15) Hard to pick a single riff, maybe Dystopia after Dave's solo or Conquer or Die! pre solo riff 16) We'll Be Back's ending section - reminds me of She Wolf but heavy as fuck!!! You had great choices too.
The 1999 riff in set the world afire is soooooo heavy. I would say the heaviest off of countdown though is the main riff of architecture of aggression imo.
1. Looking Down the Cross (Outro riff) 2. Bad Omen (intro scrape riff followed with harmonics) nothing gets heavier than this imo 3. Liar (Intro Riff) 4. Rust In Peace (Outro Riff) 5. This Was My Life (Outro Riff) 6. Black Curtains (Intro/Chorus riff) Hidden Treasure wasnt mentioned and never is for some reason but I thought id mention it since its also amazing Hidden Treasures: Go To Hell (Main Riff) 7. She-Wolf (I dont need to explain what riff) 8. Prince Of Darkness is def the heaviest but man I love Insomnia sm 9. 1000 Times Goodbye (intro) EVERYONE ALWAYS HATES THIS ALBUM BUT WHY? its genuinely such a great album Ive heard every single megadeth song a million times now and I think every single song of theirs is truly amazing (other than the songs on risk theres a few i dont care for. maybe a total of 5 i dont care for on other albums, maybe 10 total) 10. Kick the Chair (Main Riff) 11. You're Dead (Every riff is super heavy imo) 12. This Day We Fight 13. Millennium of the Blind (after final solo) again another hated album I think its amazing 14. Dance In The Rain (Enslave and impoverish riff, towards the end) 15. Fatal Illusion (No vital sign of life Riff) 16. Killing Timee (intro riff) Kill The King never made it on a real album but I feel like its worth the mention since the riff is pretty heavy and overall a great song
Great-sounding video. Gotta say that I think the heaviest riff on RIP is either Polaris or Holy Wars (end section). On Countdown, I think it would be the Ashes verse riff.
I would’ve picked: Looking Down The Cross The Conjuring In My Darkness Hour Lucretia Ashes In Your Mouth Victory She Wolf Prince Of Darkness Dread And The Fugitive Mind Kick The Chair United Abominations Bodies Sudden Deth Dance In The Rain Conquer Or Die! Dogs Of Chornobyl Hon Mention - Kill The King
Amongst those sixteen, I'd say The doctor is calling, for its dramatic accents. However... Well-played, Yordi, as always, and what a killer gig on Recipe, you both guys rock! 🤘🎸🎶
@@GeorgeSearsSolidusSnake you sir have phenomenal taste 👌🏻 there’s a lot of stuff Dave didn’t perform and it pisses me off but I can only dream of it😢 Nick Menza is why I became a drummer so when songs like Diadems, Five magics, poison was the cure, high speed dirt (only 1 crappy live recording) aren’t played live, I just get bummed out. 🙁
@@coolbron2597 Guess what my friend. I saw them live in Greece (it was in 2012) and they played High Speed Dirt! Dave said it was the first time in like 15 years. Definitely my favorite part of the show.
I'll tell you right away the albums that I didn't make listening: The sick , the dying... and the dead United abominations The system has failed Countdown to extinction (one of the most overrated, maybe a couple of songs are good) Cryptic writings and risk Now the heaviest riffs of each album: Killing is my business: Rattlehead, it's simple It's just unbelievable. Peace sells: Devil's island Chorus or Wake up dead(riff in the middle) So far so good so what:Set the world afire, Almost any riff, one of the heaviest songs R.i.p.:Take no prisoners,a riff when the first words begin, or a riff of five magics when the words begin Youthanasia:Blood of heroes, it's very heavy The world needs a hero:Disconnect verse or return to hangar verse Endgame:How the story ends intro, the best endgame riff 13:fast lane Verse and riff after verse/Public enemy no1, riffs under third solo Super collider:Don't turn your back,the only heavy riff of the album, because this album is good in another way Dystopia:the treat is real,Just the top of the heavy riffs
For me it's: -Looking Down The Cross (slow outro riff) -The Conjuring (that one riff) -Set The World Afire (main riff) -Take No Prisoners (Going to war, give em hell riff) -Sweating Bullets (Post solo riff) -Black Curtains (Something's under my skin riff) -She-Wolf (Main riff) -Prince Of Darkness (Main riff) -Dread And The Fugitive Mind (Machine gun riff) -Kick The Chair (Main riff) -Sleepwalker (Main riff) -The Right To Go Insane (Intro riff) -Public Enemy No. 1 (Main riff) -Kingmaker (Main riff) -Lying in State (Intro riff) -We'll Be Back (Outro Riff)
I don't think Lucretia riff is the heaviest on Rust In Peace, Take No Prisoners and Rust In Peace Polaris have way heavier riffs. Nice video and playing btw
My choices: KIMB: Title track PS: The Conjuring SFSGSW: Into the lungs of hell RIP: 5 Magics solo intro riff CTE: Sweating bullets bridge Youthanasia: Killing road Cryptic: She wolf Risk: idk TWNAH: idk TSHF: Blackmail the universe riff #5(?) UA: Sleepwalker Endgame: Head crusher bridge riff #1 13: idk, maybe sudden death SC: Idk Dystopia: Either Fatal illusion or Lying in state TSTDATD: Dogs of Chernobyl
You are obviously more talent than i am.. but some of these are def YOUR fav to play.. not the heaviest by any means except opinion which was clearly chosen by your skill level.. which by the way is awesome .. be proud !! But be sure to add "in my opinion" in the title..
I am a huge fan of the main riff in The Killing Road but I had a hard time understanding why you would repeat the same chorus riff for a minute when the main riff is far more complicated and heavy
Bro first of all... You picked the first riff on Skull Beneath the Skin as the HEAVIEST? That aint even the heaviest riff on that song lol. The beginning of this list sucks The riff after the bass lick on Skull Beneath the Skin, The chainsaw riff on Good Mourning Black Friday, The chorus riff on 502, The final riff in Rust in Peace... Polaris The "if you're fighting to live" riff on Ashes in Your Mouth The break on The World Needs A Hero The verse riffs on Kick the Chair (it's basically very similar to Rust in Peace... Polaris)
I would say, regardless of peoples' thoughts on which are the heaviest, Megadeth continues to write interesting riffs.
They do. Their newer abums seem to get heavier too:)
So interesting 😮
That expanded Recipe for Hate... Warhorse was incredible. Great job!
Thanks!
That was such a cool transition with drums at 0:31, it really gives it that opening
Added a sneaky little half-time :D
dude that conjuring riff is so groovy
Awesome riff indeed:)
Nice shout outs for Play For Blood and the pre chorus for Guns, Drugs and Money. That last one is surprisingly brutal
Awesome songs:)
Heaviest riffs imo:
1) Last Rites/Loved to Deth main riff
2) that one The Conjuring riff (though Good Mourning/Black Friday as a whole is a much heavier song)
3) "Distorted figures walk the streets, it's 1999" riff from Set the World Afire
4) Take No Prisoners "Love and war" section
5) Captive Honour chorus riff
6) Train of Consequences pre solo
7) Hard to say Cryptic Writings is heavy at all, but Trust pre solo
8) Prince of Darkness as a whole
9) No idea, TWNAH is a shit album
10) Blackmail the Universe right after the first verse is over
11) Haven't listened to much of UA, so can't say
12) This Day We Fight, almost feels like a sequel to Take no Prisoners
13) Same as UA
14) Dance in the Rain last section
15) Hard to pick a single riff, maybe Dystopia after Dave's solo or Conquer or Die! pre solo riff
16) We'll Be Back's ending section - reminds me of She Wolf but heavy as fuck!!!
You had great choices too.
Nr 6 is my favourite Megadeth riff of all time:)
The 1999 riff in set the world afire is soooooo heavy. I would say the heaviest off of countdown though is the main riff of architecture of aggression imo.
The World Needs A Hero is a good album
You need to give TWNAH a chance. It´s a FANTASTIC album imo
1. Looking Down the Cross (Outro riff)
2. Bad Omen (intro scrape riff followed with harmonics) nothing gets heavier than this imo
3. Liar (Intro Riff)
4. Rust In Peace (Outro Riff)
5. This Was My Life (Outro Riff)
6. Black Curtains (Intro/Chorus riff)
Hidden Treasure wasnt mentioned and never is for some reason but I thought id mention it since its also amazing
Hidden Treasures: Go To Hell (Main Riff)
7. She-Wolf (I dont need to explain what riff)
8. Prince Of Darkness is def the heaviest but man I love Insomnia sm
9. 1000 Times Goodbye (intro) EVERYONE ALWAYS HATES THIS ALBUM BUT WHY? its genuinely such a great album Ive heard every single megadeth song a million times now and I think every single song of theirs is truly amazing (other than the songs on risk theres a few i dont care for. maybe a total of 5 i dont care for on other albums, maybe 10 total)
10. Kick the Chair (Main Riff)
11. You're Dead (Every riff is super heavy imo)
12. This Day We Fight
13. Millennium of the Blind (after final solo) again another hated album I think its amazing
14. Dance In The Rain (Enslave and impoverish riff, towards the end)
15. Fatal Illusion (No vital sign of life Riff)
16. Killing Timee (intro riff)
Kill The King never made it on a real album but I feel like its worth the mention since the riff is pretty heavy and overall a great song
Nice list! I like the Bad Omen riff:)
I agree abt Insomnia being the album's best riff even if PoD is way heavier
Twnah might suck dread, 1000 times and return to hangar kick ass
NO VITAL SIGN OF LIFE THEY DECLARED HE WASNT THERE
That was killer! Great tone as well man, well done.
Thanks!
Awesome collection of songs and great playing! Deadly Nightshade from Thirteen is also pretty heavy!
Thanks!
Excellent video, regards from Mexico!
Gracias:)
6:39 wow! amazing solo
Yeah. Joe's one of the best guitarists I know:)
Very cool! I can only imagine how long it took you to put this together. Great job!
It took a few hours :P
If someone who’s not familiar with the band and watched this they might think that this the heaviest megadeth can get lol
:D \m/
lol right, not exactly deep cuts here 😅
awesome workkkk!! \m/
Thanks :D
Song riff How the story ends: 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
:D
0:45 that's where my melody lies
:D
For me Vortex is heavier and faster from cryptic writings, great selection anyway.
Thanks! It's a better riff for sure:)
She wolf is the most aggressive))
I'd say the riff starting at :30 in "Ashes In Your Mouth" is the heaviest riff on CTE, but that's just my opinion.
Awesome riff:)
I love your right hand on "Killing Road" i enjoyed this alot.👏🏻👍🏻
Happy you liked it:)
Great job 👏
Thanks!
What a beautiful axe dude 🤩👌
Thanks:)
Great-sounding video. Gotta say that I think the heaviest riff on RIP is either Polaris or Holy Wars (end section). On Countdown, I think it would be the Ashes verse riff.
Awesome songs:)
Banging my head to this 🤘😎
Enjoy:)
I love this guys picking hand
:D
Some really unusual choices, but still great to watch. Thanks.
Happy you liked it!

I would’ve picked:
Looking Down The Cross

In My Darkness Hour
Lucretia
Ashes In Your Mouth
Victory
She Wolf
Prince Of Darkness
Dread And The Fugitive Mind
Kick The Chair
United Abominations
Bodies
Sudden Deth
Dance In The Rain
Conquer Or Die!
Dogs Of Chornobyl
Hon Mention - Kill The King
Awesome list :)
Amongst those sixteen, I'd say The doctor is calling, for its dramatic accents. However...
Well-played, Yordi, as always, and what a killer gig on Recipe, you both guys rock! 🤘🎸🎶
Thanks Emmanuel!
Love it man.
Happy you liked it!
Great work man, that was awesome 😀🤘🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Dude really forgot about Hidden treasures album. Diadems or Go to hell are the heaviest on there.
Diadems is a great song. Wish they played it live.
@@GeorgeSearsSolidusSnake you sir have phenomenal taste 👌🏻 there’s a lot of stuff Dave didn’t perform and it pisses me off but I can only dream of it😢 Nick Menza is why I became a drummer so when songs like Diadems, Five magics, poison was the cure, high speed dirt (only 1 crappy live recording) aren’t played live, I just get bummed out. 🙁

I'll include EP's next time :)
I'll tell you right away the albums that I didn't make listening:
The sick , the dying... and the dead
United abominations
The system has failed
Countdown to extinction (one of the most overrated, maybe a couple of songs are good)
Cryptic writings and risk
Now the heaviest riffs of each album:
Killing is my business: Rattlehead, it's simple It's just unbelievable.
Peace sells: Devil's island Chorus or Wake up dead(riff in the middle)
So far so good so what:Set the world afire, Almost any riff, one of the heaviest songs
R.i.p.:Take no prisoners,a riff when the first words begin, or a riff of five magics when the words begin
Youthanasia:Blood of heroes, it's very heavy
The world needs a hero:Disconnect verse or return to hangar verse
Endgame:How the story ends intro, the best endgame riff
13:fast lane Verse and riff after verse/Public enemy no1, riffs under third solo
Super collider:Don't turn your back,the only heavy riff of the album, because this album is good in another way
Dystopia:the treat is real,Just the top of the heavy riffs
Awesome list:)
very nice bro
Thanks!
was just curios for first 3 albums
Hope you liked it:)
@ Risk did anyone else start singing THE DOCTOR IS CALLING. and got chills ?? 🤘🤘🤘🤘
\m/
Hey, respectfully, i do not agree with your riff/song choices, but that was a great video and performance. 🎉
Thanks:D What riffs do you think are the heaviest ones?:)
Set the world afire is the first Fukin song you should’ve started blasting!
💥💥💥
\m/
I think the bridge riff in Polaris is the heaviest riff on rust in peace
Awesome riff:)
For me it's:
-Looking Down The Cross (slow outro riff)
-The Conjuring (that one riff)
-Set The World Afire (main riff)
-Take No Prisoners (Going to war, give em hell riff)
-Sweating Bullets (Post solo riff)
-Black Curtains (Something's under my skin riff)
-She-Wolf (Main riff)
-Prince Of Darkness (Main riff)
-Dread And The Fugitive Mind (Machine gun riff)

-The Right To Go Insane (Intro riff)
-Public Enemy No. 1 (Main riff)
-Kingmaker (Main riff)
-Lying in State (Intro riff)
-We'll Be Back (Outro Riff)
Great list :)
Love your video but How dare you not put the ending heavy riff from rust in peace polaris
Sorry :P
New Framus ? Sounds great! Rock -on my Brother 👍🏻😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤙🏻☮️
Not new, but it's great:)
Yes it’s awesome! Great metal tones!
🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤
:D
Very Heavy!
\m/ :D
I don't think Lucretia riff is the heaviest on Rust In Peace, Take No Prisoners and Rust In Peace Polaris have way heavier riffs. Nice video and playing btw
Also awesome. Thanks:)
Super.
Thanks!
I'd say the end of Hangar 18 or Take No Prisoners would be my pick from RIP
My choices:
KIMB: Title track
PS: The Conjuring
SFSGSW: Into the lungs of hell
RIP: 5 Magics solo intro riff
CTE: Sweating bullets bridge
Youthanasia: Killing road
Cryptic: She wolf
Risk: idk
TWNAH: idk
TSHF: Blackmail the universe riff #5(?)
UA: Sleepwalker
Endgame: Head crusher bridge riff #1
13: idk, maybe sudden death
SC: Idk
Dystopia: Either Fatal illusion or Lying in state
TSTDATD: Dogs of Chernobyl
Nice list:)
Surely one of their best riffs is the one in Ashes in your Mouth… it’s absolutely class and so proggy…
Which one?:)
@ well, all of them on that track
"Conjuring" middle part is such a cool riff, but the final riff in "Wake Up Dead" goes the hardest out of the whole Megadeth catalogue.
Awesome riff:)
Request bro.. Specialy rif drums sound TQ
Thanks!
that's not even the heaviest riff on skull beneath the skin lmao
Which one is?:)
Very clean. Wake up dead and 99 ways to die do it for me 😎
Love 99 ways to die:)
Think Dogs of Chernobyl had better Riffs. And that riff From Night stalkers is Just Sick. 🤘🤘
Also awesome:)
'soldier on' is like the budgie song called 'in the grip of the tire fitters hands' also why do the welsh have great song titles?
Budgie is cool:)
Ik it's the popular one, but Symphony is definitely the heaviest riff on CtE IMO (Ashes in Your Mouth is the best one though)
Good one as well :D
I think the definiton of Heavy i have is far away from yours, but the performance was awesome anyway.
Thanks! Let me know which riffs you'd have picked!:)
🤟🏻🔝👍🏻
\m/ :)
From Peace Sells I would have said every riff from either Darkest Hour or wake Up Dead.
Awesome riffs:)
Tough to choose with MD
Yes :)
You are obviously more talent than i am.. but some of these are def YOUR fav to play.. not the heaviest by any means except opinion which was clearly chosen by your skill level.. which by the way is awesome .. be proud !! But be sure to add "in my opinion" in the title..
I think something being heavy or not is very subjective. For me heavy usually meanz slow, simple and something that gives you stankface :D
I love how this video just randomly decides to become a solo fest 😂
:D \m/
Not even close....got fingers in my eyes...
You break my heart
Always a bit disappointing when somebody doesn't do the diads right in the conjuring
Great picks nonetheless
Thanks! Not sure which ones you mean:)
I am a huge fan of the main riff in The Killing Road but I had a hard time understanding why you would repeat the same chorus riff for a minute when the main riff is far more complicated and heavy
I thought this part was heavier:)
i think poison was the cure is a bit heavier than lucretia tbh
and take no prisoners. but i still like lucretia better as a whole.
Both awesome:)
UA should have been sleepwalker
Awesome riffs:)
@DopezTracks One of my favorites definitely, lol.
Polaris and 5 magics have heavier riffs than Lucretia
I like this one :P
I think insomnia is heavier just me though
Awesome as well:)
Black Curtains is the heaviest on Youthanasia. You jam btw
Awesome song :)
Great playing… and songs… but I don’t know if I agree with any of these lol
:P Let's see your list :)
Bro first of all... You picked the first riff on Skull Beneath the Skin as the HEAVIEST? That aint even the heaviest riff on that song lol. The beginning of this list sucks
The riff after the bass lick on Skull Beneath the Skin,
The chainsaw riff on Good Mourning Black Friday,
The chorus riff on 502,
The final riff in Rust in Peace... Polaris
The "if you're fighting to live" riff on Ashes in Your Mouth
The break on The World Needs A Hero
The verse riffs on Kick the Chair (it's basically very similar to Rust in Peace... Polaris)
Nice list :)
I know this video is obviously opinion based, but Lucretia??? I may have to make a youtube channel to share my opinions on this matter lol
Which one would you pick?:)
the heaviest riff on tstdatd is dogs of chernobyl
Awesome song:)
You can't choose Countdown and not do Symphony... That's the heaviest riff on that record.
Nice song but not the heaviest one for me:)
@@DopezTracks I'm not sure that heaviness is up to personal opinion, I'd think it's simply a fact, but, sure!
I'd say heavyness is a very personal thing:)
@@DopezTracks A'ight, let's agree to disagree :)
Great riffs.. But I don't agree about them being the heaviest in the albums
me neither. sounds as though he chose the most metallica-esque riffs. should've showcased dave's more intricate but still heavy riffs.
I might do a "The Most Intricate Riff" video :P
Lucretia is WRONG
Lucretia never wrong
Lucretia? Yo Focken Danki.
:D
