THE RIFFS THAT TAUGHT ME: In Flames - Chris Broderick | Metal Injection

Those early ratt's albums are full of classic riffs🤘

Great to see Andy LaRoque getting some love, very underapreciated guitarist despite the fact that he wrote so many classic King Diamond songs.

Chris playing these early Yngwie riffs reminds me that there was a time when Yngwie really cared about song writing and not just blazing up and down the fretboard,

Chris is a beast of a player. Nevermore days with Loomis were incredible. Two monsters of Metal in one band. Thanks for sharing your riffs that inspired you. Love your playing….

Warren Dimartini and Robbin were such a cool guitar duo. RIP King

Chris can play anything...And he has played exceptionally in one of the best Megadeth albums ever...Endgame.

HUGE Broderick fan! Stood front row right in front of him at a Rust in Peace reunion tour show while he was with Megadeth! Such a monster on the guitar!

I'm so happy I Am A Viking is being mentioned here by Chris. Killer tune with an amazing riff and solo. Marching Out is also such a good metal album in general.

King Diamond and Andy LaRoque put out such great albums in the 80's and early 90's! Fatal Portrait, Abigail, Them, Conspiracy, and The Eye are all records I still play today - I never had the skill or knowledge to play anything more than rythm guitar lol🤘

At any rate, Chris is great and these are some not-so-obvious choices!

Yes! King Diamond getting some much-deserved love! 🦇🖤🦇

Chris, what a legendary player 👏🎸🔥

I remember trying to pick songs by ear (via cassette or LP) like "Lay It Down" and "Seek and Destroy" - no tabs - no concert footage. What a challenge, but what a way to train the ear!

Andy LaRoque is a genius, good to hear his name brought up ina guitar video

I remember being in a music store when I was younger and hearing someone playing the riff for I'll See The Light Tonight. I had not heard Yngwie before then and I had to ask him what that was. Turned out, he was an instructor there. Introduced me to some great music, got me started on lessons and taught me that very riff. Still one of my favorite warmup riffs to this day. I also started tuning one of my 7-strings up a half-step after reading that's what he does with In Flames, so I can play normal C-standard stuff on my 7s. Brilliant idea!

thank you for this Chris! Yngwie is amazing

I saw Accept open for AcDc back in the day, Angus and the boys got absolutely smoked...Restless and Wild Tour😮

Chris, I've always loved your playing and thank you for helping me practice! Very inspirational!

I appreciate you showing n sharing all this information with us as learning guitarist n I think ur a great guitarist, love all the megadeath riffs, music you done !

Every song I learned the hard way, by listening to a tape,or watching a VHS, these are the songs I still remember and can play 20 years later
