Nik Nocturnal Hell Yeah! Now that’s what I’m talking about.😀Power metal all day Nik. My favorite metal band of all time and you did a cover of one of their songs. Awesome dude. Hey it’s definitely the best guitar cover you’ve done yet. I know there are some nostalgic ones like the Linkin Park cover, Killswitch Engage cover or Breaking Benjamin cover for that matter. No matter what songs you chose from those bands, as long as you do what you can do then it should be no problem for you man. Awesome job Nik. Keep on rocking.🤘How about the Kings Of Metal by Manowar next time you do a guitar cover?

[@luiseduardocuapantecatlvar9770]

I admire you

[@QueenFrisky]

Holy shit you actually did it. Congratulations on 1000 on twitch. Also congratulations on covering this beautiful and tedious song. I hope your fingers aren't hurting too much. Get some rest my guy. Much Love, Alex. Edit: Can you do a cover of Infinite Eyes by Darkest Hour? Or Futurist by of said band? Both songs have a beautiful solo (one of them was featured on your "Sickest Solos: Drop A#" video. That's how I found this band.

I feel like once you practice the techniques enough it's more-so remembering the song and finger placements for tricky parts rather than having to learn every technique bottom-up trying to cover the song, which is what most beginner guitarists do instead of practicing their technique lol. His picking hand and fretting hand are so eco that I'm sure playing fast isn't really a problem for him. He wastes such little space moving between notes it's just natural for him.

Aaron Wells As a musician. The Doo has a piano background. It shows in his vids. He has the music theory and it shows when he plays guitar(after playing piano). I never started on piano and I wish I did cause I know so many great musicians who did and they shred on guitar. Now Nik on the other started on guitar, and knows music theory(or from what I can tell at least). A guitar battle would be amazing between them 2 but I wouldn’t pick a fav cause they come from different music backgrounds. Eddie Van Halen stated he(and his brother Alex) played piano when they were younger. Please don’t take this as me “I know more than you”. I hope it was a helpful insight to music.

When I saw the notification my heart stopped and I just thought "no way". After watching this, I'm still thinking "no way".

I don't hit like on a lot of videos on KZbin but damn, this one deserves a love button.

[@NikNocturnal]

Thank you!

[@brunoliberatti]

definitely the best Through the Fire and Flames cover in the internet! Bravo!

[@stephenstrader1577]

Someone tag this to Herman’s Twitch for a reaction video... Definitely a f*****g feat, props man! You officially don’t need to cover anything else 🤘🏼

Props out to you lad not an easy song for even the most experienced players to play

[@Tigerpow]

Oh my god he actually hit my favorite guitar solo ever and did it perfectly, you get an extra like from me

[@evana4622]

Dude, Nik... This was SO SICK MY DUDE! Wow... Amazing. You and Herman Li need to get a stream together going!

[@justenbeashel]

There you go, all these years I just figured the intro was a tapping section, never thought to look at a live video or cover or tabs haha

[@assihovde2358]

What

[@DiscontinuedChannelOne]

Well the intro isn’t tapping but It’s played on acoustic on the studio version

[@kanekidlamini4247]

You know, Nik single handedly commanded the true force of the great dragon in this video, well done mate

[@jeremyyost78]

Omfg nick you straight killed that!!! Best cover I’ve seen!!

[@oa6861]

I was just watching a video about Friedrich Nietzsche opinions about God being dead and what not but then saw that Nik Nocturnal released this which im sure proves Nietzsche wrong

[@krapiak]

5:03 the classic look

[@nangdang00]

My guy absolutely refuses to remove his thumb from the wrap around position. Respect for that! Jimi style

[@chrislaracy7265]

You know you’re modest when you play it in one take after learning it in 18 hours… and it comes out better than the original recording due to your own modifications of their techniques. (No Floyd rose, no problem). Best version of this song on the planet right here. “The best I could play it” did you mean “perfectly”? Amazing man.

[@Faiiltrain]

that wasnt one take

[@chrislaracy7265]

@@Faiiltrain Unless he was taking his watch off after every take and perfectly setting the time to make it look like one take, it was one take. Watch the minute hand and hour hand on his watch throughout the song, it was one take. Nice try.

[@Faiiltrain]

@@chrislaracy7265 @1:31 theres other examples in there where his hand kinda just *appears* above the guitar in 0.0000001 seconds. cant be assed finding them, watch it again. nice try

[@timmt2884]

@@chrislaracy7265 Just look at the monitor and the number of red track bars. Changes all the time between camera cuts. Clearly not one take.

[@perrinsmith3019]

Gonna need Nik and Cole Rolland to duet this now

[@ekarobbyanto5702]

18 hours to learn the whole song... Me:48 hours just to learn the intro

[@burlylovehammer1884]

Dude! Why are you only on KZbin. You should already be in the hall of fame. Fu*******g unbelievable!

[@dustinreidy6522]

Dang, I never noticed how cool the rhythm work was on this song, nice cover

[@djroastbeef1]

Really great cover! The tabs add a really cool element to the video.

[@dodgemadria956]

Nick's relieved face when playing that C power chord after the solo lol

[@jamessmith4018]

Herman li and Sam Totman literally DONT play it THIS WELL . Astounding cover brother .
