It's near impossible for a guitarist holding a guitar to not play anything the more seconds creep by, it's like an itch. My girl always has to tell me to stop and listen when she's trying to talk to me if I have my guitar, which is only fair, cuz historically speaking, I've had to ask her to repeat what she said so often in times like those over the years, that at some point she needed to put her foot down :P and she's the best girl I could ever ask for, so in my case, it's not nagging at all, she lets me play a LOT without any attitude (luckily I'm a half decent player and a pretty dang good riff writer if i do say so myself).

Ol from Evile is so underrated as a riff monster. Can’t believe they’re not a bigger thrash band. I blame it on them basically disappearing for almost a decade and trying to get back into a much different looking thrash scene. And how has none of the much bigger thrash bands booked them in an opening slot on tours? Megadeth? Exodus? Metallica now tours with other headliners opening because they’re just too big, but that would be a dream for them too. Guys, get on it.

Probably amongst my favourites to be honest. Evile are underrated but I kinda prefer that, given how Metallica have turned out since they got too big for their already oversized egos and lost the music itself. I still think it's extremely tough to beat Anthrax and Slayer for awesome, heavy riffs in thrash, but Ol has some of the best speed precision I've seen.

what is that roaring jet engine noise in the background when Gary is playing?

It's soooo weird to see lefthanded guitarists like Ryan, but the funniest thing is that I'm actually a lefthanded guitarist😂 Btw I'm a huge fan of Wastes, Thrash 'till Death!!! \m/

I can hear some Grim Reaper "see you in hell" inspiration in a few of these guy's riffs ❤

I think Jump in the fire riff is fun to play tremelo then turn in slam riff

Would love to hear the band with Phil Demmel & Steve Zetro Soua, anyone know the name?

I vote for Carcass - No Love Lost. Or an underrated one. Machine Head - Imperium!
