Umb's 10 Favourite Bad Ass-riffs
Yeah, you know, the kind of riffs you start feeling like smashing someone in the face.
This is madness and not Sparta. |
| 1 | Arch Enemy
Blood On Your Hands
"REMEMBERRRR...!!!"
Yeah, that's it. This is right in the face. |

The Arsonist
When I listened to the first part of the Alchemy Index I couldn't stop thinking that they overused the sheme of aggresive riffing. But "The Arsonist" was the awesome innovation and in my opinion the most aggressive song on the CD. |
| 3 | iO
Rage
"iO" is founded by the left men of the german band "Guano Apes" and they seem pretty angry about something. Check them out! |
| 4 | Dir en grey
Agitated Screams of Maggots
Another japanese band. Well hated or beloved. But the guitars in the beginning of the song are just "butcher-like". |
| 5 | the studs
thursday
Boring songwriting, battered melodies, monotone riffing. I like to use these tags when I'm talking about most of the japanese bands. But "the studs" are angry, kind of challenging and...uhm...ugly? |
| 6 | Nirvana
Negative Creep
The guitarbanding-stuff in the main-riff: The distorted spirit of a strange guy. :D |
| 7 | Converge
Homewrecker
It's such a extreme band. They're such a extreme band so that every song of them has got its bad ass-moment. But Homewrecker is more of the driving one. |
| 8 | Manowar
Ride The Dragon
The beginning riff, the drum-break, that's pretty bad ass. :D |
| 9 | Mucc
Gokusai
A japanese band! I like them, they've got these moments where they decently rock. Like in this song. After the loud opening riff, followed by the bass-break they come up with a pretty smashing riff. |
| 10 | Linkin Park
Given Up
Yes, it's a bullshit album and yes, Linkin Park playing a song like this seems pretty fake, but I can't deny that I like the part where their singer begins to scream. |
