The METALLICA beat🥁

In an excerpt from my Chimaira SPLIT Guitar Lesson & Song History video (Quick Riffs #21), I express my love for the classic "Metallica drum beat", and how it sounds great under ANY riff! 🎸

Bro, those two Metallica songs you referenced are two of their best songs ever. I would probably say Leper Messiah and Eye of the Beholder are number one and number two. In my opinion. Blackened is right up there.

[EclipseAtDusk]

Funnily enough, despite having not heard split before, I knew exactly what beat you meant once you played the riff. It just WORKS sometimes

My mind went straight to 'Harvester of Sorrow'

🤘🏻💀easy is the most memorable sometimes (Walk/Enter Sandman/Symphony of Destruction……..) SP LiT all bad ass songs and very memorable 👊🏻

Rob, I see you liked my comment so I gotta say you have some magic in those fingers my boy that 2012 CD “UNDEAD” bro I thought it was Olie..

It took me like a couple months really digest that album and man I still go to that thing every three months. It’s really up there for me. I mean maybe it’s because 6 feet under didn’t have a good album since commandment. I’m not sure. Either way unborn undead 🤩

I’m all about it! I’ve got a band too they’re called NekroMonicon and hey if you want check it out! Hey the power of riff compelled me 😂 Daily metal uploads if I can! Practice makes perfect I’m not very good mostly too
Strings well keep shredding brotha!

Do some more death metal. If you could do another album like undead in this day and age, I’ve got some amazing song names off top of my head (nekro butcher brain matter, arise nekro troops from hell, dominator domination, shredding the stratosphere, etc) Groovy!

Whenever i play chimaira i have to hit all the strings with much more aggresion than any other band. Especially that main riff from wvery thing you love. My strings hate me during that riff they get beat down
