Hey folks! I wanted to make this video for a long time and pay tribute to Chuck Schuldiner and other members of Death. Today I am glad to share it with you and hope you'll enjoy it! R.I.P. Chuck P.S. this video was originally over 10 minutes long but due to the fact that TH-cam is blocking it, I had to edit it many times and cut a lot of riffs, so the video is shorter than it was. The extended version can be viewed on my Facebook and Patreon. Hug you!
Too many Death riffs can cause damage to monitors, speakers, and anything else in the vicinity when the need to thrash hits people uncontrollably. It's irresponsible and harmful to children and adults with weak constitutions or weak neck muscles to have more than 5 minutes of ultraheavy riffs strung together. You're pushing some dangerous limits with this 8:35 of musical violence.
Absofuckinglutely why I've been working on learning the bass lines got crystal mountain and spirit crusher down. Now to go through and learn others when I get the free time between work and having a kid.
@@marcoesposito8753 That's because Chuck is a perfectionist. Whenever he finds something wrong in a recording from another member, he will re-record it so it is perfect.
@@Nate_M_PCMR ok there was that one bit in the Evil Dead tapping intro where he strays from the beat ever so slightly that only ever so slightly bugs me but past that it’s perfection lol
@@henrywalton5967 I don't have long hands, so having to extend my fingers to play the riff makes me crack a bone inside my hand within a minute of playing it. It's hell.
Death and Chuck riffs sound like orchestra concert with thousand guitars riffing millions of riffs, right in the ears, passing through the brain and manifesting in the body an uncontrollable urge to bang the head at several different rhythms.
Listen to After Oblivion. Started as Death tribute band, then started making own songs and albums. They are almosat as Death still makes new albums. I knew them years ago. Cool guys.
@@facelift2294 th-cam.com/video/SxneakhkeYw/w-d-xo.html open this youtube clip and the music at 00:42 until 00:47 . i dont know its metal or rock to be honest but im looking for orginal music
Death, one of the few bands where they’ve got fan favorites on every album, they revolutionize their genre with every song, and still hold true to be one of the greatest, decades after they’ve stopped creating new material.
I remember running The Philosopher through a mixer, then a guitar amp - trying to raise the volume all the way through that outro at the end. I wish whoever had the master recordings for it, would release that outro all the way through at full volume, it's some of the best stuff I've ever heard.
Death really is in a league of its own when it comes to consistency. I can shuffle any death album and i know the song i get will be good. Wish i had known about them sooner.
Let's be honest here.. it's impossible to put the best Death riffs into a list of 10 because the real list is much, much longer.. but sir you did a really good job trying that! Death was and always will be a musical treasure for the "right" ears man.. Chuck was a genius. Keep up the good work!
I knew Chuck well his passing was a huge thing in my life. Living in central/south Florida especially Tampa the southeastern capital for heavy metal will expose you to alot of legendary musicians.
I mean that video shows riffs, and voice of the souls does not have like riffs, I mean riff is sth more like you know that repeats, or is heavy, I can't explain I just think of voice of the souls as one big solo
Awesome my guy !! Got into Death only this year , man have i been missing out on stuff , everything they put out is fantastic! Rip Chuck and all other members who have sadly passed away
You know individual thought patterns has the lead guitarist from King Diamond on it? That's why the leads are so smooth and melodic. Andy Laroque is a badass
Death is the one band that you'd like alor as a non metal guy. It is so much more beyond just "metal." Listen to the song Voice Of The Soul, then go exploring. His later albums are more accessible for non-metal people.
Death is clearly for the me best death metal group of all times. Was so sad when Chuck died, a very sad day that I still remember like if it was yesterday. Thank you so much for this tribute!
Dude I'm glad you added fair amount of riffs from their first two albums. 'Symbolic' is my favourite but those records are underrated. Another badass riff I must mention - Flesh And The Power It Holds \m/
Good stuff! I've been listening to them since I picked up 'Scream Bloody Gore' on cassette back in high school (Yeah back in the late 80s, feels like forever ago now), and they're still my favorite band of all-time. We lost Chuck far too early.
I just want to leave this comment and thank you for opening my eye to this great band. I’ve checked out Death in the past but I really got into them when you dropped this video I’ve been a fan since 2020.
BEEN WAITING Also I feel like I should tell you that I've been watching you for about 2 years, got my own guitar meanwhile and your vids are quite inspirational to me! Edit: too bad you didn't play Crystal Mountain chorus... Anyway, I've always been playing this main riff on E and A strings, 7th and 9th to 6th and 8th fret. Quite odd to see it played on A and D
Always loved Chucks playing. The Philosopher and Cosmic Seas/ Vacant Planets have been my favs for as long as I can remember. Great video dude! Killer playing.
all these riffs are obviously fantastic and there are lots of amazing technical riffs, but there is something just earth shattering about that straightforward spiritual healing riff @ 6:31. just perfect
Incredible playing. Good job, man. Chuck was and still is the greatest musician and guitar player I have ever seen, opinion of course, because of the incredibly unique and moving music he created. Rest in peace, man. I pray he sees how big of an impact he has on so many people.

Awesome job man, great playing and great choice in riffs!
Could probably make a video “top 10 spirit crusher riffs” lol
Faaaacts. Have you noticed a riff in this song that sounds a lot like a riff from Ride The Lightning of Metallica?
@@jclapointe899 same chord progression
@@m1ch43l_k exactly 🤘
@@jclapointe899 yeah
@@oyc7946 yep
Im not really a fan of death metal but death is an exception
you’re missing out on a lot of great bands
Same with me Duarte
Try Focus by Cynic
True, there's a lot of great death metal bands but Death is really special, it's in the league of it's own
This doesnt really sound like death metal :P more like thrash ^^
Every Riff of Symbolic and The sound of perseverance is a Masterpiece.
Absofuckinglutely why I've been working on learning the bass lines got crystal mountain and spirit crusher down. Now to go through and learn others when I get the free time between work and having a kid.
fucking true
Hell yeah!!🤘
Couldn't have said it better myself... See it for what it is
@RG RGAT and Individual Thought Patterns
You want a list of their best riffs? Its called their discography
Agreed
Death has an almost flawless discography bruh, its insane.
@@englishorspanishCOG for real, one of the few bands that never made a bad album/song

Chuck was a legend
And will always be!
no shit
He is, he still lives in his music
he was a God
Shut up, Morty
Chuck made some of the coolest and darkest riffs EVER
I know right!!
I feel like trapped in a corner needed a spot on this list. And i agree symbolic, and Scream bloody gore have i wouldnt have thought of trying to play
@@OscarTorres-dc7gudefinitely, that riff under the solo is incredible
Death is love, death is life!
Uhhh death is life?
@@landonharrison1343 you read it right
LOL
*Death is life*
Wait...
*visible confusion*
Spirit Crusher, also known as that one riff that absolutely wrecks my entire goddamn hand when I even dare trying to play it.
Because of the down picking?
@@henrywalton5967 I don't have long hands, so having to extend my fingers to play the riff makes me crack a bone inside my hand within a minute of playing it. It's hell.
@@emigrant1510 ah yeah even with my hands it's a bit of an awkward stretch. Sounds like death for you (pun intended haha)
@@emigrant1510 You must have tiny little doll hands. My fingers aren't long and I've never had an issue with that song.
@@simpleanswer8954 As I said, effectively, I don't have long hands.
Death and Chuck riffs sound like orchestra concert with thousand guitars riffing millions of riffs, right in the ears, passing through the brain and manifesting in the body an uncontrollable urge to bang the head at several different rhythms.
Death’s riffs were way ahead of it’s time
Chuck is such an incredible riff master. There's no one else with his exact style.
Listen to After Oblivion. Started as Death tribute band, then started making own songs and albums. They are almosat as Death still makes new albums. I knew them years ago. Cool guys.
Yes, you willl probably hear death even dead if you loved life.
Flattening of emotion is one of the best metal song intro

@@alisoleimani6891 I'd say it's metal
Pioneer of death metal
Not even close. Possessed is what you claim Death to be.
@@ksquidplaysminecraft came here just to say that
@@ilovepineapples1987 I came here because I love death
@@ksquidplaysminecraft I meant I came here to say what you said smh
Of course it’s close, Mantas (before becoming Death) had demos as early as 1984.
There is still no denying it...From 2000 and onward...Almost every Tech/Prog Death group owes a reverent nod to Chuck...
Death, one of the few bands where they’ve got fan favorites on every album, they revolutionize their genre with every song, and still hold true to be one of the greatest, decades after they’ve stopped creating new material.
"TOP 10 DEATH RIFFS" - proceeds to play some of the solos as well, because they’re just irresistible.
Where did he play a solo?
Those are licks friend
Misanthrope is my all time favorite Death song and it's not easy to pick just one, but that song has like 6 riffs that literally blow we away.
Nice to see Open Casket getting some much deserved attention. That song rips from start to finish
Such a good song
monster piece of music
That track hurts so much to play lol. So good
@@yungmeanmug It is very tough to play, but so much fun
Symbolic is definitely Deaths best album! Masterpiece
Which is your favourite Death album?
Any
Death is one of those bands where everyone has a different opinion of which album is the best, every one is a masterpiece in its own way!
My favorite is definitely Human
In my opinion, Individual Thought Patterns was their best album with the best lineup.
The sound of perseverance is my favorite
I remember running The Philosopher through a mixer, then a guitar amp - trying to raise the volume all the way through that outro at the end. I wish whoever had the master recordings for it, would release that outro all the way through at full volume, it's some of the best stuff I've ever heard.
Look up Gene Hoglan's playthrough. One of them has the entirety without the fade out. You're welcome
I wish the same but for A Moment of Clarity's outro, it's beautiful as fuck and it kinda cuts right at the best moment
Death really is in a league of its own when it comes to consistency. I can shuffle any death album and i know the song i get will be good. Wish i had known about them sooner.
chuck schuldiner was a freaking monster, he had such a technique that was impressive
Flattering of emotions intro riffs never ends to amaze me. Sounds like some epic scene from some dark sci-fi movie
Pull The Plug is like a book of riffs.
Ikr
Let's be honest here.. it's impossible to put the best Death riffs into a list of 10 because the real list is much, much longer.. but sir you did a really good job trying that! Death was and always will be a musical treasure for the "right" ears man.. Chuck was a genius. Keep up the good work!
Just started listening to Death again intensively for the last few weeks...
Awesome🤘🏻
Nice!!!
The same. I got to believe Death is the best band ever
I knew Chuck well his passing was a huge thing in my life. Living in central/south Florida especially Tampa the southeastern capital for heavy metal will expose you to alot of legendary musicians.
What kind of person was he?
Chuck's head banging somewhere right now! Fuck yeah dude. Chuck was so far ahead of his time. He will forever be missed.
I call shenanigans!!!! A death list isn't complete without "Voice of the Soul"
That deserves it's own video by itself!
I mean that video shows riffs, and voice of the souls does not have like riffs, I mean riff is sth more like you know that repeats, or is heavy, I can't explain I just think of voice of the souls as one big solo
@@SplitMyLungs I consider it Chucks magnum opus! No real riffage truly but all the burn in the world!
My fav riff from death is prolly flesh and the power it holds or leprosy. Any of the riffs from those songs lol since they have like 10 of them.
@@brandynosborn3374 true
Awesome my guy !! Got into Death only this year , man have i been missing out on stuff , everything they put out is fantastic! Rip Chuck and all other members who have sadly passed away

Azaryah Pope that’s my favorite album lol
I love the fact that in the title it says 10 riffs... but actually you give us 34! Absolutely flawless playing by the way!
One the greatest death metal/technical death metal band of all time. Chuck did songs that there are timeless
Top 1000 Death riffs
chuck lordumuz
Rarely heard of Death (not a big metal guy) but wow are they innovative even in their own sound. More awesome music thanks to Vermilion
Death is the one band that you'd like alor as a non metal guy. It is so much more beyond just "metal." Listen to the song Voice Of The Soul, then go exploring. His later albums are more accessible for non-metal people.
Сложно передать DEATH отдельными рифами, там с первой секунды первого альбома до последней последнего - гениально!
Flattening of Emotions is still one of the most brutal riffs I've ever heard. Another great one is Heir Apparent by Opeth.
0:36 breaks my heart every time 🔥 legendary
DEATH IS THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME
Have you ever listened Necrophagist? There is no greatest of all time in music world.
Listen to Gojira if you haven't already done so!
Preach, brother, preach!!! It is so, amen!
REAL
D. TRAN.
As metalheads i speak for us all when i say we are all Chucks legacy now \m/
\m/
Death is clearly for the me best death metal group of all times. Was so sad when Chuck died, a very sad day that I still remember like if it was yesterday. Thank you so much for this tribute!
There was 666 likes and I wanted to like the video
I struggled during all the video, but finally, I showed you my support
Great vid bro !
Dude I'm glad you added fair amount of riffs from their first two albums. 'Symbolic' is my favourite but those records are underrated. Another badass riff I must mention - Flesh And The Power It Holds \m/
Working my way through their discography, it’s absolutely impeccable. Nothing is bad.
Love this man. Also for me misanthrope is literally just a song compiled of fun and interesting riffs
Chuck was genius and his playing was so unique. Thanks for reminding this.
I've been waiting so long for this one
Same!
Best musician in the whole genre or arguably whole metal and rock IMO. Specially his last three records with Death.
When these riffs are all put together, they actually blend pretty seemlessly and make a great song in themselves. Chuck 🤟
Good stuff! I've been listening to them since I picked up 'Scream Bloody Gore' on cassette back in high school (Yeah back in the late 80s, feels like forever ago now), and they're still my favorite band of all-time. We lost Chuck far too early.
