Top 10 YouTube Videos About Metal Music
Some videos are good because they are useful. They explain and demonstrate certain aspects of metal music accurately. Others are enjoyable because they are funny.
I've watched more videos of this type but have forgotten their titles and authors, so I can't find them now. There were some excellent instructional videos among them.

Punk vs Metal - Charlie Parra del Riego
In light of the recent discussions on what is metal and what is not, this video is very useful. Metal is often confused with punk.
Agreed. This is my favorite music video there.
-
How To Be POWER METAL! - SteveTerreberry
It presents power metal features correctly, except the focus on DragonForce style (the song he wrote sounds like a DF song). My favorite part is when he talks about power metal drum beats - "boot camp, booty camp." The power metal vocals part is funny but he doesn't exaggerate. Vocals in this subgenre are really demanding.
-
Metal VS Metalcore - Jared Dines
This video is good. However, the problem was that I couldn't see the strumming.
-
Deathcore VS Death Metal - Jared Dines
Jared Dines is the vocalist for the deathcore band Dissimulator and drummer for two more bands.
-
How To Be DJENT! - SteveTerreberry
My favorite part: "duh-djent? The d is silent. The d is silent!"
-
Top 10 Guitar Effects! - SteveTerreberry

-
Punk VS Metal 2 - Charlie Parra del Riego
Both Part 1 and 2 are very helpful. I once mentioned the difference between metal and punk. I knew nobody would believe me. But when I found this video, jackpot! All the things I said were exactly accurate. Charlie Parra del Riego has also made other helpful videos.

-
George Kollias - " Shall Rise Shall Be Dead " - YouGroove
There's nothing funny here. Just a drum cam shows his drumming technique and how he achieves that crazy speed.
-
Rock vs. Metal - Raz Ben Ari
I believe it'll clear up some of the misunderstandings. Great video.
-
How to Play Power Chords | Heavy Metal Guitar - Howcast
I recently found this. Remember when I said metal riffs are based on two or three strings? Well, you could call me wrong, but would you call Alex Skolnick wrong? (to the troll visitor).
Thanks for this video, zxm. I didn't know it and it's really very good - good quality, you can see everything, and I like Alex Skolnick. By the way, I didn't think you were wrong. Most of the time metal guitarists use 2-3 strings.
-
Fast Guitar Solo vs Slow Guitar Solo - Charlie Parra del Riego
Thanks for adding this, zxm. I didn't know it, but I liked it very much. I was surprised he mentioned Gary Moore - a guitarist I like but who is very underrated and not well known.
This video is another good one.
