One of the most underrated heaviest riffs anyone would know... Found these guys after I heard some guy playing Speak English or Die on the streets in '09. I looked them up and found the song he played and included some other songs like Sgt. D, United Forces, and ofc this one. The band has become on of my main foundations of why I play guitar. Also the SEOD tone is like crunch and chug all in one sound
That. Riff. I love how literally every metalhead ever just worships it. Brings a fuckin' lump to my throat. Love how Scott, at the end, is all like "YEAH!! I WROTE THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!"
I came to this page after watching a loudwire Episode where they asked various musicians about the "heaviest riff ever" which forces the listener to "make a stinkface" (to paraphrase) and they brought up a lot of Sabbath, riffs by Pantera's Diamond Dallas, a lot of other Southern Metal and Nu metal stuff frequently - and I didn't see this mentioned - I thought - how the hell was this not brought up by these seasoned musicians? This is THE yardstick for heavy riffs in "post BNWOHM" metal.. You'd have to chain your face to the wall to prevent yourself from headbanging.
@@creamysauce7966 I'm sure it's similar for all music when comparing listener and composer / artist. For fans of 80's thrash it is an iconic metal "jingle" emblazoned in the brain particularly thanks to MTV's Headbanger's Ball. But maybe as *musicians* these folks are biased toward the guitarists that influenced them and something like this is never top of mind. Scott Ian had kind of a thrash-metal version of an "Angus Young" motif going for him as a stage presence, which made him stand out, but was I don't think he was widely regarded as an A-list guitarist so that might have a little to do with it.
@@danmccarron0 Yeah.. But he's one of the best rhytm guitarists out there. Anthrax generally is an underrated band. I don't see the members' name pop up in conversations about the best __ player as often as I should. Sadly..
Dimebag Darrell, not diamond Dallas. Diamond Dallas was a wrestler, full name diamond Dallas page. David Lee roth of van Halen was also known as "Diamond" David Lee Roth.
Fuck yea !! And for the record , when you see the meme of “ what song would you play over this system “ that’s picture show a huge bunch of amps …. This song right here would be that song.
Both are extremely great bands. You can't really compare them since they are in two different genre. Anthrax = Thrash, SOD = Punk. I love both so fucking much
Greatest riff of mankind. Chromatics forever.
Chromatic death dude
Want a classical piece that sounds like this, check out "Rachmaninoff, Prelude in C# minor" chromatic decent and it sounds brutal (for a piano)
Pi Alpha NU. Cheers man
@@SnavelsOne of the greatest pieces of music ever created.
@@annihilisthtx2297 It also wasn't classical, idk why I said it was haha, still a great piece
That riff...
A lot of modern bands could learn from that riff.
Beginner guitar player and it’s fucking fuuuuuuuun to play this in drop D.
It's the greatest riff in metal history, and one that every metal loving guitar or bass player should know how to play.
This song is my national anthem...
Amen
If I was a fighter, this would've been my walk out tune
The heaviest riff of all fucking time!!!

HELL YEAH!!!
Never! Gets old 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Simple, but effective riff. Classic song.
I love that riff
Best song in the entire set.
A perfect riff.
So F... Raw heavyness! the ultimate definition of Metal.
Ian is so intense, cool dude!
That's my JAM 🎸👍👊💀💕🔥💯
Two badass bands together hitting that shit hard love hearing louder most can handle 10,000 watt system lovely
Fuck! That chug & kick! Perfection!
LOVE ANTHRAX LOVE SOD
Thank you! Better than a cuppa Joe to get me started this morning 🤘
S.O.D.? as in Stormtroopers of Death?
Indeed the Stormtroopers of Death.
That. Riff. I love how literally every metalhead ever just worships it. Brings a fuckin' lump to my throat. Love how Scott, at the end, is all like "YEAH!! I WROTE THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!"
@@ahdbw8494 Indeed, or as they say in Jersey "Fuckin A"
Is dead!
Nop, is Stormtroopers of Deus idiot!
love this fckn song!
the riff that launched Dropped D tuning to everyone
Fuck YEAH!

same I was disappoionted to see no one mentions SOD in that video

@@creamysauce7966 James Hetfield and Scott Ian are the best Ruther guitar players ever.
Headbangers Anthem
Good on Frank for using a pick. Good way to repect the og bassist Dan Lilker
Fuck yea !! And for the record , when you see the meme of “ what song would you play over this system “ that’s picture show a huge bunch of amps …. This song right here would be that song.
Fucking hard core man!!
Fukn john dette is a beast
That is one monster riff, Mr. Ian.
S.O.D. really should get back together.
Never happen. Billy went on a big anti-Semitic tirade one time, Scott was born in a Jewish family.
Spook creeps did their job already, trying to turn rebel street kids into stupid soldiers
Great cover!
.....
wait a minute
.....
Whos got Access all areas?
Played at just the right speed. Any faster and you lose the chug oomph.
Why didnt you played that in greece damn it?
🤘💀👍
I think this is what Dario Argento meant when he said he liked the fascist overtones of heavy metal
where is the fascism?
@@keithakid the mood
@Scott Smith it's called March of the Stormtroopers of Death dude
@@bennievargas2673 Maybe... just maybe it is an ironic album.. just maybe.. Ask Scott Ian and his Jewish heritage.
@@keithakid fascism knows no colour
1:04
Anthrrrrrraash
Charlie is drumming here right? Either way this is amazing
John Dette was on the drums
Charlie was the drummer in SOD.
So why isn't Charlie there?
He was recuperating from hand surgery.
@@Amokachikz I thought it was Charlie
What is that tuned at I need to know
"Supers Kum"?
Where's Charlie?
Who's that drummer? Where's Charlie B???
Remember when Headbangers ball made this the intro and all the cars, trains, planes and zeppelin crashing? Good times.
Is that Charlie?
I didn't Jon Dette was lefty
Doesn't matter which band plays that song.
It's bad as hell with 5000 watts banging that shit
who's the drummer?
That was not Charlie Benante on Drums!
Yr right. This guy is left handed.
@@ianwerden5601 It's Jon Dette! He also played with Slayer! \m/
@@JonnyKickdrumz1 Looks a lot like Charlie from afar
Looks like Kirk's signature V
Hammett's flying V is an ESP
Scott Ian is using a Gibson :)
Most bands play live songs at a faster BPM, but not anthrax lol still sounds badass tho
RAMOOOOOOONE
they played faster in the 80s
Devils riff
dan likner there
Jasper Edwards For a min, thought so too, but unfortunately it’s not.
Jon Dette fucking slams the drums bro
That ain't Charlie
thats not charlie...who the fuck is that?
oh and he killed it!
John Dette, he's played with many bands, from Slayer to Testament to Heathen, VolBeat etc
John Deete is very underrated
Scotty Ian is just the shit
SOD better than Anthrax imo...
Greatest thrash album of all time !!
Yeah S.O.D. is 10000× better i like there more crossover thrash hardcore punk sound more than anthrax plain thrash sound.
I love me some S.O.D. but saying any album under that name is better than "Among The Living" is just blasphemous.
Both are extremely great bands. You can't really compare them since they are in two different genre. Anthrax = Thrash, SOD = Punk. I love both so fucking much
Manly.
Bad AF
….SOD songs without Billy Milano , Dan Lilker & Charlie Benante 👎🏼
Sod..
Is dead....
Fuck it they are getting old
@johndette 🤘
Its against the law to play that without Charlie........
