thumbo Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Meshuggah - Stengah is up there for me, it springs to mind when I think of heavy riffs anyway. I also agree that the riff at the end of Diamond Eyes is monsterously heavy. Quote
Lifer Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Domination, origins of the chug breakdown in the middle. DERDERDUM DERDERDUM DERDERDUM DERDERDUM DUMDUMDUM DUMDUMDUM DUMDUMDUM Great Southern Trendkill gets my vote though. Quote

Geddys nose Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 http://youtu.be/ReuBms-qZQk 3:18 just ahead of its time really, sh*t my pants when I first heard my brother LP with this on. Quote
Dingus Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 To my ears and middle - aged sensibilities , a lot of the more modern super heavy bands that people are posting don't really hit the mark in the heavy riff stakes . It's all heavy and no riff . The short repeated phrase just isn't memorable enough . Quote

bartelby Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 looking forward to reading this thread at home, where I can see the youtube vids... Quote
Cameronj279 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 The last 2 sections of Vacuity by Gojira. seeing them live made Meshuggah seem like Katy Perry. Quote
Panamonte Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Maybe not the heaviest thing ever (whatever that may be) but what happens from around 3.30 onwards in this song certainly made me sit up and pay attention when I first heard it. And when I heard it again just now. This registers pretty high on my heaviosity meter - it just sounds...er..heavy. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOashlbufJk[/media] Quote
Skol303 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Looking forward to listening through all of these later on! My suggestion would be pretty much anything from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (I think that's cropped up already). Not riff-based, but I once blew up a pair of speakers playing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmYUlr599-I"]'LFO' by LFO[/url] at loud volume. That was certainly a heavy moment - be careful if you choose to give it a listen, the bass on it is beastly. Quote

I saw them opening for Rush , it must be nearly twenty years ago , and people were booing and throwing stuff at them . Quote
Lifer Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I love 'Boris' by the Melvins, but that doesn't really have much 'riffage' as it is generally recognised. Quote

I don't think a fascination with '[i]Pretentious, angular, obtuse and downright mental[/i]' music is a particularly 80's thing. I get the impression a lot of bassists here don't like stuff like Palais Schaumberg, DAF or even Stump. It just doesn't groove enough, or something like that, and it's got 'funny' noises in it. Quote
Graham Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Backbone by Gojira is always the first one I think of in heaviest ever riff discussions but really anything by Lazarus Blackstar would probably win. I'll look for some links when I'm not on mobile. Quote
