One Step Closer immediately started playing in my head when I saw this video title.

"My own summer " is one of the most iconic riffs ever

There's something to be said about why nu-metal groove riffs work so well. They feel so right for some reason and you can really get into a song because of it.

[Brenooomaniezo]

The great thing is that Sepultura is not a nu metal band and yet have one of the greatest nu metal albums

[dentalbrace]

"Here to Stay" was Korn's quintessential riff in terms of their sound.

The intro to Taproot's "Poem" was a great riff.

Bro got a ton of new comments in the past few days. The algorithm gods see you. Great video!

The Points of Authority riff is one of my all-time favorites.

[stopit]

thank you for being one of the few people on youtube that plays break stuff correctly

[JDaWg]

Damn never realized how sick the riff to bring me to life was 🤘. Sick video.

Wes Borland underrepresented. Definitely the Nu Metal riff god.
And that flat black Strat is sick! I can't stand Strats unless they have a very flat radius. That one looks pretty thin.

Your collection is really great. Both the songs and the guitars.

Love seeing PODs Boom getting included. Despite being one of the earliest Nu Metal bands they get slept on.

[tbrown]

those first 2 Linkin Park albums of full of great riffs...Wes Borland is also a creative genius.

I looove that Forest riff from SOAD - I feel it doesn’t get as much praise as it should!
