    i love the fact that you're doing "great riffs" and not "greatest riffs", it lets every song you play get its own appreciation without any competition, great idea and awesome video !
  • @qwerty.4450
    This guy makes dozens of videos playing thousands of riffs each with their own drum/bass tracks and guitar tones. Truly one of the most hard working YouTubers of all time.
  • @mikewarper6789
    I loved how Under Pressure segued into Run Like Hell, almost felt like those riffs were originally from the same song
  • @findtheway47
    Oh yeah, rarely, but aptly! You introduced me to this beautiful universe — metal music. Thank you so much, Andrea!!! 🤟🤟🤟
  • @bmoney2011
    90s Rush is a big mood. Some underrated bangers in there.
  • A few thoughts in no order: 1. More stuff on the old playlist 2. The blending of these disparate riffs is incredible - it's a science at this point and papers should be written on it 3. Dire Straits to Iron Maiden to Blue Oyster Cult? Perhaps the greatest transition of all time... 4. Porcupine Tree to Ghost? That beats it... 5. ...but not for long because holy cow BRYAN ADAMS TO ALICE IN CHAINS 6. AND IT GETS BETTER: Oasis - Kiss - Mastodon is something else... 7. Superlative-defying, as always - major props to ya
  • @nathanpruitt4007
    What an amazing blend of choices, Boma! Some sweet, some poignant, some I knew. Some I want to know. Perfect video my friend
  • @aidster77
    So wish all your videos had their own spotify playlists! Your taste is impeccable as always, my friend.
  • @ThePengfish
    Seeing Kyuss on the list made me happy. I'd love to see a Stoner/Desert rock list in the future! I saw how much fun you had playing QOTSA ;) I bet Song for the Dead would be fun to play!
  • @BinLamim
    So many great bands getting the love they deserve! Amazing work!
  • Grossa grossa selezione. Si scopre un sacco di nuova musica. Sempre grande Andrea!
  • @adamdreyfuss
    Come al solito una selezione piena di perle da riscoprire! Lavoro impeccabile Andrea! As usual, a selection full of pearls to rediscover! Outstanding job Andrea!
  • @DJMoralez
    Another great video Andrea. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice year!!!!
  • @musicminute2004
    Fantastic as always. Love "Talk" by Yes, very original take. Foo fighters debut is also a true clsssic
  • @steveb3747
    Love it! So many old favorites yet so many new ones to explore. Thank you. And, as always, excellent playing, tone and production
  • @TriOdy
    I think the value your channel has had on expanding my love for metal and rock has been monumental. Your riff compilations are the perfect lure to get hooked onto so much cool bands. I'd never know Slamer without this vid. Keep rockin bro
