Tony Iommi laid the foundation of heavy metal with doomy, detuned riffs that felt like ancient thunder—Black Sabbath wasn’t just heavy, it was apocalyptic. James Hetfield turned rhythm guitar into a weapon, down-picking at light speed to define thrash with Metallica. His riffs are tight, precise, and brutal. Dimebag Darrell brought chaos and groove, combining squealing harmonics with southern metal swagger. Pantera riffs didn’t just hit hard—they moved. | Panama Kinal
