The RIFF LIFE Field Manual

The Flow

The Flow is the main stage of RIFF LIFE. It is the chronological timeline where every new Riff drops, creating an endless stream of metal mastery. This is where the family gathers to watch, listen, rate, and bang their heads.

The Dashboard

Your command center for discovering the best covers:

• Filters Bar: Zero in on the content you crave. Filter by Riffer (artist), Album, Song, or your own Saved Bookmarks.
• Sorting: Control the order of the show.
  • Newest Riffs first: Fresh from the studio.
  • Oldest Riffs first: A trip down memory lane to the early uploads.
  • Newest/Oldest Activity: See where the conversation is heating up.
  • Riffers A-Z: Browse the roster alphabetically.
• Actions: Rate, bookmark, and comment instantly. No need to leave the page—stay in the Flow.

Picture-in-Picture Mode

The music never stops! As you scroll down to explore more Riffs, the video you are currently watching will automatically pop out and minimize to the corner of your screen. This lets you keep browsing the feed or reading comments without missing a single note of the solo.

Mastering Filters

Combine filters to curate your experience:

• Riffer + Song: Want to see how one guitarist has evolved on Enter Sandman? Filter by their name and the song.
• Album + Bookmarks: Create your ultimate "Best of Master of Puppets" playlist by filtering for the album and your saved favorites.
• Reset: Just click the "X" on any active filter badge to clear it and widen the net.

The Rating Scale

Show your appreciation with the 5-star metal scale. Be generous—we're all family here!

• Nice: Good effort, keep it up.
• Well done: Solid playing, good technique.
• I like that: Getting serious, great tone.
