Its amazing that Crazy Train was done in ‘79 and still remains so fresh until this day
Gojira- Flying Whales. Been stuck in my head for a solid week now.
Manic Crow yeah that’s definitely one too favorite riffs of all time!!
NOW I CAN SEE THE WHAAAAAAAALES.
That song is so goddamn good. THe guitar gives the song such an imperial feeling with massive flying whales... God that song gets me going
Stuck in my head for months 😂along with blind by korn
That's my favorite, and first, song from them. I discovered it by pure coincidence and it always get stuck in my head. Seeing them play it live is otherworldly.
@@RainbowGravity92 dude, is it ever. I saw them open for metallica. I wish they played the slow 2 minute-ish intro, but I see why they don't. But good GOD did I headbang and belt out the lyrics. I looked like a fool but it was surreal
Riffs that will be stuck in your head forever
Plays whole song
Rose of sharyn deserves to be played on its entirety tho
@@Zink971 100% agree with you
@@Zink971 but i was secretly hoping it was going to go back to the half time 2nd verse
Crazy train is such a goddamn catchy riff especially. Holy diver is another really catchy one
jonathan b holy diver is permanently burned into my brain 🤘🔥🔥🔥
ThejaRRo OnE same man 🤘🤘🤘
the one he did here yes its amazing, the original one not too much
@@HarvestingMetalHeads are you high?
Holy diver solo 🔥
I’m a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan and I will definitely say Unholy Confessions is in my head almost 24/7
Yeah I agree
How could it not be
I whole heartedly agree
That breakdown the double kicks is so great
The one that gets stuck in my head is afterlife
Did i just see a 7 string tuned to Drop C?
I
Am
Impressed
Just put a high A instead of a low B then tune down to drop C like you would on a normal 6 string, I have two 7 strings, one with a low B and one with a high A
wait you mean it's tuned CCGCFAD or CGCFADA?
@@drewm5898 I think he means tuned to CGCFADA but that woupd be tuned down a step too right? so CGCFADG I think
@@Ethan84250 you tune the G string to F# to turn the guitar into B standard tuning. from there you tune the whole guitar up 1 and a half steps to get to D standard. then for drop C you just drop the lowest string half a step. so yeah CGCFADG is right.
I have a 6 string in drop C lmao....works fine
Just listening to that ascendancy riff alone makes me wonder how anyone can hate on Trivium.
B J seriously they’re talented as fuck and I love their music
They are sick, they just have some questionable songs is all
@@cykablyat7393 questionable songs?
@@dizzasterartist I got some songs I don't like, especially their "trashier" albums. Ascendancy is one of the greatest piece of music I have ever heard, what an amazing album
@@hugobenetti8558 my least favorite song off Trivium is Contempt Breeds Contamination and The Rising
I dont know if anyone is gonna see this but «96 quite bitter beings» by CKY is one of the most catchy riffs I’ve heard
Escape from hellview too
Hear Unholy Confessions when I was 12. I am now 16. Not a day goes by where that riff haunts me with its awesomeness
aww that’s crazy! i heard it when i was 16 and i’m 32 now haha
For me the riff that never leaves my head is "Black Bear" by Whitechapel
Such a great riff
Alter Bridge - Farther Than The Sun, and The Other Side - very similar and diiiirrrrty heavy
Same. Also with The Other Side off the same album. The last part of that tune stays in my head everytime. So bangin
Parkway drive have the best riffs full stop
Absolutely, this is one of my favourite songs by whitechapel alongside the saw is the law
Just wanted to say congratulations on getting setting two Majesties mate -- thoroughly deserved!!
Dead eyes see no future- Arch Enemy
We will rise- Arch Enemy
What the dead men say-Trivium
Catastrophist-Trivium
4 words to choke upon-Bullet for my Valentine
Revelations-Iron Maiden
The wicker man-Iron maiden
Are you dead yet-Children of bodom
Under grass and clover- Children of Bodom
We're not gunna fall-Children of Bodom
Hallowed be thy name-Iron Maiden
Cold sleep-Bury tomorrow
Choke-Bury Tomorrow
This is absolution-Killswitch
Tears don't fall-Bullet for my Valentine
Hearts burst into fire-Bullet for my Valentine
Bottom Feeder- Parkway Drive
I hope you rot- Parkway Drive
Riff that always gets stuck in my head is Blood and Thunder by Mastodon \../,
Sleeping giant
I just listened to the song before opening up this video :P
Listened to Curl Of The Burl once, got stuck immediatly and still won‘t go away
March of the fire ants
"Split your lungs with blood and thunder" that bit latches on and doesn't let go
That Rose of Sharyn riff is a permanent feature of my life.
My favorite Trivium riff which also happens to be my all-time favorite guitar riff is the pre chorus to Like Light to Flies. A close second is the opening riff to Rain.
Opening riff to rain gets me fucking going every time haha
Those two songs get be head banging so much. The intro to Down from the Sky takes the fucking cake for me though.
The intro to A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation also slaps hard.
nothing beats lake of fire
One riff that always gets stuck in my head is The Wretchedness Inside by Trivium. It’s a killer riff that just never wants to get out of my head
My personal favorite is the trooper. It fits the whole song both melodically and somehow fits what the song is all about. Mark Morton's Cross Off is also a freaking good one
I would have said Pantera 5 Minutes Alone was the much catchier riff by them.
Walk has been stuck in my head for ages
One's own, king man, Christ person, woman God.
Or Domination
How about the bridge in primal concrete sledge or the outro to domination
I would say that preety much all Pantera riffs has a u forgettable groove
Rhandy Rhoads really was an innovative guitarist. Crazy Train will be one of those songs I'll never forget. It is that special for a song
The pantera song that is always stuck in my brain is I’m Broken
Same dude! I just don't like the title because I don't want to be like that haha
If I ever put a guitar into drop D now it is ALWAYS that riff in Ascendancy by Trivium that always gets played over and over until I get used to that sound again, what a riff, when I saw the thumbnail I was hoping it would be! Congrats on the majesty’s too! Beautiful guitars!
Same man
I fucking love that riff.. usually when I play in drop d I always play pull harder or a gunshot lol, fuckin love those songs
fun fact that album was originally written and recorded in drop c#
Waking the fallen is one of the best albums of all time
I can't get Testament's "Electric Crown" main riff out of my head. Such a nice tune.
as i lay dying - the sound of truth (pre-chorus and chorus riff with melody)
Wow, how long have I been away from this channel??? Jamie GRAYS 😂
Stevie Wonder Now That’s a quality comment.
Stevie Wonder Wow, how can you even see the video?
Your tone on unholy confessions is sooo goood
Plini- Selenium Forest
It's stuck in my head
In flames, cloud connected, this one stay in my head long after song's end...
Yeah!
My sweet shadow always gets me
Me too hahaha
Goliaths Disarm Their Davids
Amen!
One of my favourite catchy riffs is the main heavy riff from ‘The Shortest Straw’ by Metallica. It’s so fucking heavy, dirty and fun as hell to play. Rock on Jamie!
Yes!!
That 7 string looks super nice, but i think i would litterally have to sell an organ in order to afford one.
Novaldex - worth it. I financed a Majesty 6 string in arctic dream over a year.... it’s been a year already and payments are done. She’s worth every cent. Seriously. Either the majesty or a Aristides
Goosebumps when you played A New Level such a badass opening riff man! Killer as always!
It's been 6 months and a new level's riff stills stuck in my head and I can't stop playing it anytime that I'm practicing or just holding any guitar
Every time I see an EB, I begin to gas hard!
The riff that is always stuck in my head is ‘Serpents chokehold - Malevolence’. It never leaves.
Everyone of these riffs were catchy, a few I would add is crushed by parkway drive, comfort betrays by as I lay dying, the deceived by trivium, disposable heroes by Metallica, post American world by megadeth, 512 by lamb of god, funeral hymn by Exodus, thunder underground by ozzy, this just starts my list haha
The riff and breakdown thats been stuck in my head for the past 4 years has been ADIDAS by Korn.
I'm not entirely sure why.
Everytime I play my guitar, I get the urge to play that song everytime.
I'm a simple metal head, I see Matt Heafy thumbnail, I tap that Like button.
Holy shit dude, Mr. Slays, Thank You 🤘
Hey bro! 😊 👋
Ascendancy, departure and into the mouth of hell we march always gets stuck in my head
This channel gives trivium the love they deserve
For me, it’s always Psychosocial-Slipknot. And even though I’ve heard Crazy Train 1,000s of times that riff will always be the catchiest, across all genres.
The metal scream before the drop and then the drop always stuck in my head
If Jamie jumps in for Mark morton in lamb of god nobody would notice it 😅👍
The only tell tale sign is the ear piercing but preetty much unrecognizeable from afar.
Yeah no.
Err yea pretty sure everyone would notice 😂😂
Haha yeh I think they’d notice
@@JamieSlays the many likes prove it. But it was only a joke. Calm down guys ✌😉
You def need to do a weekly cover song... your sound setup is amazing and its genuinely refreshing to hear your favorite songs with sick distortion and no vocals.
1:11 A NEW LEVEEEEELLLLLL.....OF CONFIDENCE.....EMPOWEEEER
Sylosis- reflections through fire is constantly rattling around in my head!
When I get angry I start to hear 'Du hast' in my head 😂
When i am angry to the point is scream i hear murder train
Breaking the law by Judas Priest deffinetely should've been here
Agreed
Second that!
0 2 3
1 3 5
I watch a lot of videos but ngl the only reason I clicked on this one is cuz Matt Heafy’s on the thumbnail 😂😂
Lambo_Man_61 I'm a simple man. I see Trivium I click.

Beneath the machine- sanctity
96 quiet bitter beings- cky
Romance is dead- parkway drive

I knew ascendancy was gonna be there! One of my all time favorite riffs!
Trivium is the king of catchy riffs , along with periphery
Their riffing styles is just godly, even their less known songs are like extremely godly on riffs
Icarus Lives! Gets stuck in my head for weeks after I hear it
Neo Seoul by After The Burial. That tune just doesn't go away, ever..
Dude!!! I love how you make look easy every single one of that riffs!!! Awesome playing as always!
Unpopular opinion: I despise Crazy Train (the solo is still good)
So glad you also chose a Pantera song that isn't Walk 👍
PrinceFcknCharming good to know. People would get riled up about these opinions but should you feel your choices/decisions are justified, good for you.
@PrinceFcknCharming For real, fuck them jeans, fucking goofy looking shits
Brenton Alexander don’t worry, I find Stairway to Heaven boring
The trooper always gets stuck in my head🤯🤯🎸
This list is pretty much every riff I was obsessed with when I started playing. Classics
Sweet riffing as usual jamie buddy you should do a full cover of crazy train bro
Perry Kewn fucks no
The riff in The Czar, or the Last Baron by Mastodon, or Flying Whales by Gojira, love those riffs
Asking alexandrias whole first album is unholy confessions😂😂😂😂
0, 5, 7, 8, 10 for days.
Popular scale.
Haha yes
A prophecy and Unholy confessions are poles apart. Change my mind
I love all these riffs. Ive gotten to the point where I have heard alot of these songs and others where I still like them I just dont want to hear them for a while.
That catchy riff almost 8 minutes into the song The Last Baron by Mastodon. It's just permanently glued to my brain.
No riff is more catchy than from square hammer - ghost
Ritual too
The riff after the solo on the struggle within was stuck in my head for a month
The main riff from Evolution (The Grand Design) has been stuck in my head for a solid week
never heard of terakai.. thanks for that!! and those Ernie Ball guitars are nice!! congrats!!
Mine is torn between Scalia and Charybdis :)
Like Callisto to a Star in Heaven is also pretty catchy along with Insurrection
Yea Trivium rules
INTO THE MOUTH OF HELL WE MARCH
Like light to the flies or Pillars of serpants would be me pickes
Wolff 0237 ah fellow Trivium fans, the only reason I clicked on this video was cuz Matt’s on the thumbnail lol
I'm sexually attracted to the guitar. Is that weird?
It'd be wierd if you weren't attracted to it
If you are a pansexual kind of guy... no it’s not.
Be sure you have the hospital in speed dial before attempting anything...
I think it's one of John Petrucci's signature guitars because of the dream theater logo on the first fret and i know John plays music man so yea we are all attracted to that magnificent guitar lol
Alex La-Chiusa its a John Petrucci signature, so no it’s not weird
One of the best and tightest players i've seen lately. You make every riff seem so easy. Immaculate playing
I knew I saw Matt heafy in the thumbnail xD I geeked out as soon as you played ascendancy. And of course that riff at the start of unholy confessions is so iconic.
silvera by gojira and killing in the name by RATM
Clone by Gojira will never ever leave my head
1serious0mfr I mean... is that really a bad thing?
Good call
Anything by Gojira lmao
As a kid the first song I remember that got me was blind by korn. Very simple but so catchy.
Are You Dead Yet by Children of Bodom always gets stuck in my head.
Yep, CoB missing fully!
The chorus to that song always gets me.
Chelsea Smile by Bring me the horizon is forever stuck in my head and the end riff of Ignorance is Bliss by Beartooth
Jamie slaying some killer riffs on new musicman 😍🤘🏼
Unholy, roam, trooper, train... I need to learn these songs... Waking the demon: Bullets for my Valentine and Toxicity/BYOB: SOAD are very catchy too...nice work!!!
Pretty much all of the songs you included are my all time favorites!
I'm from the Philippines, I love all of your videos
Gojria - the matter of the universe is the best riff I've ever heard \M/
Oh dude, so many metal songs get in my head everyday.. but Rose of Sharyn is one of my favorite all-time songs ever, so glad you had it on this list!
The intro riff to “Black Star” by Carcass gets stuck in my head for days. One of those ear worms.
Wherever I Roam is definitely one of them songs for me and I’m an old school Metallica fan. The Megadeth tune also. Good list though!
yes!

I would like full song demos....cause now your just teasing....trying to stream out live while driving...making sure everyone gets infected with quality tunes! Thumbs up from me dude!!!
Symphony of destruction stuck in my head last month...its the catchiest riff ever.
You can put nearly every riff of Adam D on this list, his riff-writing is so god damn hard hitting and melodic at the same time, but where is a Slipknot riff🤔
Don't hear much about Killswitch but I love all their stuff.
Precisely
Adam D is awesome at writing both riffs and catchy melody lines. Easily one of the best guitarists around today.
Yeaah, Gematria is fantastic!
1:10
POWER ON
PANTS OFF
Knew lamb of god before the title even came on hahaha never cease to get one head banging hahaha sick love it bro!
Mine is always The Art of Shredding breakdown riff by Pantera. It’s always in my head.
Sepulura - territory
God forbid - walk alone, chains of humanity, washed out word.
All that remain - we stand, misery in me.
Shadowsfall- save your soul, act of contrition
could have literally had almost any riff from any song off of Ascendancy or Shogun and it would have been fine in my books :)
Amazing Ascendency is one of my favorite riffs ever... keep doing what you're doing it's awesome
You play very "cleanly", if that's even a word. Love it @Jamie Slays
Psychosocial Main riff gets stuck in the brain
Funniest part is that it’s so simple. Second riff I taught myself
Damn all of sudden I want a majesty
Hi ! Just here to say thank you ! You helped me few years ago for how to use VSTs in a daw and I still use it that way ! Thank you !
You’re very welcome!
simply my favourite is the one you put in the ending of the video, great quality sound by the way
