Guide The RIFF LIFE Field Manual

Welcome to the definitive companion for every member of the RIFF LIFE Metallica family.
Use these pages to learn the ropes, master the features, and keep the metal spirit blazing across the community.

Contests

From anniversary jams to holiday throwdowns, contests are where the community shines. Here’s how to jump in and claim victory.

How it Works

Every contest follows a three-stage cycle:

  1. Enrollment Phase: The theme is announced (e.g., "Kill 'Em All Covers"). Record your video and upload it to join the lineup.
  2. Vote Phase: Submissions close, and the community votes for their favorites. Watch the entries and support your fellow riffers.
  3. Results Phase: The votes are tallied, and the winners are revealed in a special results video.

Joining a Contest

  • Check the Contests page for active events.
  • Read the rules carefully regarding the theme and deadline.
  • Upload your riff and make sure to tag it correctly for the contest if required.

Rewards & Recognition

Winners earn bragging rights and a spotlight on the site. As an official chapter of the Met Club, we love to celebrate our champions!

Whether you’re chasing glory or just want to jam with the family, contests are the perfect excuse to learn new songs and meet new faces.
