1. I'm not here for your low-ass effort, the rules are here: https://youtu.be/Y7QRS6yllW4

2. At around 10 min in when he’s listening to that super heavy metal song and says “I swear to god if this has been the intro the entire time” I snort laughed hahahahahaaaa

3. NO DISQUALIFIED! YOU DIDN'T EVEN SEND A LINK!
   HAHAHAHAHA

4. Making an instrumental song or riff salad may not be the problem itself. The instrumental should have some sort of motif or drive and most importantly structure, so the riffs sound like they were intended to go after another, like in Orion, Call of Ktulhu, Voice of The Soul or Cosmic Sea.
   Problem I see with instrumental tracks here is that they sound like creators took first four riffs they have created that were sitting recorded on their phones and just crammed them in a track using spit instead of duck tape. No drive or structure what so ever.

5. Letter I Never Meant to Write was nostalgic as hell for me. Pop punk era when I knew nothing but life made more sense.

6. It's sad how people associate writing a track with a song.

7. You are definitely going to go insane listening to the whole song of each of these

8. Trey a year ago: Become A PERPETUAL RIFF MACHINE! Metal Songwriting Tips & Tricks: effectively using a riff to write a song 😀

9. Get better at songwriting? I think they need to get better at basic listening skills.

10. 12:29
    The owl lol

11. Really man? youre really just going to disregard all the work behind a whole god dang album, i get the rules but atleast for the effort behind the whole album.

12. The boto was pretty good

13. this is truly painful

14. That commander destructoficator riff was pretty sick

15. I don't feel so bad bout some of my recording lol

16. I really like that pop punk song

17. Trey is a weak riffer and songwriter so to everyone that was disqualified and ridiculed just know you’re likely better and have more character than a tasteless youtube jockey that has the most unimaginative content. This guy can’t even make a solid gear demo and he willing chooses to mock the people who enjoy him.

18. Just keep practicing and learn how to right songs by listening to songs and focus on its structure

19. Bro, steve totally made that in the five hours

    P.S: he deserves the amp.

20. Letter I never meant to write sounds really good actually

21. Im pretty sure that in6chunks track was just bolt thrower….

22. 8:06 only thing pop punk was the vocals

23. It's amazing how these songs carried me through a varied range of emotions, from outright wanting to shoot myself in the face to, in some cases, only making me want to drive knitting needles into my ears.

24. You are a sadomasochist just by holding this contest. Thoughts and prayers.

25. Metallica would like to talk to you about riffs are not songs. You missed a Call from Ktulu

26. You think scuba Steve trolled you? Either way those garage band guitar tones are sick. I can also appreciate the way he intertwines his movements with chromatic, free rhythm flutters WHICH not only connect the emotions but also add their own emotion of chaos. I feel Scuba has captured the sound of a march to death as intended.

27. I started my song late and started it last week. We shall see what happens.

28. This was the most entertaining thing I’ve watched in a while. Diiisssqualifiedddd
