George Kollias - Blessed Dead Jam

This is a clip from a few months ago with me jamming Blessed Dead for my Premium Lessons. Thought you guys might enjoy it!

[@averagehater4761]

jesus used george's technique to walk on the water

[@omaralmeyda942]

Awesome! LOL!

[@user-ou2cx9ui1z]

ahahahaha lmao

[@Puntiful]

öbcük lelik hahahahaha good one!!

[@isaackelly6221]

Yup

[@krthkh]

Lol

[@xJMAN07x]

Almost 40 and still the best in the industry... it's been an honor hearing and watching you play.

[@ImTheGuyFromSac]

xJMAN07x the best?? Pshhh

[@microtonalmilio5233]

Not the best. Lord Marco has a video of him without triggers doing 300 bpm for minutes with absolute zero error. He is the fastest and most precise drummer in the world. Send me a video link if you know someone faster and more accurate without triggers.

[@Nefville]

@@microtonalmilio5233 Lord Marco is indeed a beast. His blindfolded playthrough was amazing as well. I think "best" is more of a personal preference thing, this is not the "best" drumming song but it is definitely my favorite and I don't even think it was written by GK. But he sure can play it.

[@lordsozehcp5362]

​@@microtonalmilio5233ya as ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY, blast beats. Beside that, George is better in every aspect. Ur judgement is awful

[@SamMedany]

Amazing as usual, George. And hail Tony Laureano who gave birth to this breathtaking drum track.

[@aimineye]

Playing "Sad But True" is a real dare to this guy :)

[@acupofcoffee693]

2:00 when your metronome starts jamming with you lol

[@aidanrobles7621]

Bahahaha why does this comment have no likes i laughed so hard

[@pekkalaitinen8769]

Some of these older songs are ridiculously difficult

[@doublebassrox]

Seriously...the drummer of despised icon is stupid fast too and he struggled to play a nile cover- churning the maelstrom because of the blazing fast fills you should check it out

[@nolife66666]

Because Tony Laureano is hell of a drummer. In my opinion most interesting/atractive drummer of Nile. Can you imagine that guy like Tony said that his biggest challenge was to play with 1349? I was really anxious to see him with that band, because both kills.

[@sticksman7819]

I know if the speed doesn't kill you first trying to remember the parts is a pain.tony laureano really played tasteful parts on this album with the cymbal work splashes/China's and to be Nile's drummer you need to be on top of your game.

[@i_am_a_music_maker5212]

Tmt C. When I first heard black seeds of vengeance I was like “damn, this Derek roddy guy doesn’t fuck around.”

[@plantaoconsularbrazilinbag1322]

Arguably the best death metal drummer of all times.

[@joaoalcantara6676]

Composed by Tony Laureano's sick mind, perfection achieved by Kolias.

[@DustinPlatt]

BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOP BEEPBEEPBEEPBOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOP

[@ruben8046]

That beep boop is driving me fucking crazy ~~

[@malakbrood667]

What the hell is that beep beep? Annoying as fuck. I stopped watching the video after 30 seconds.

[@TomWolfDrum]

This is just fantastic! The click, the guitars and drums all sound stupendous! It's like listening in on a Nile rehearsal. I really hope to see dozens of videos just like this! Imagine, a collection of video play-throughs that include entire Nile albums!!

[@blppt]

3:36 that little cymbal choke makes me laugh at his ridiculous speed and control.

[@psyken_2321]

I could watch that double bass technique all day

[@AtliJarlMartin]

This is nothing short of spectacular.... wow!

[@hayadorca9158]

George legit killing it as George always does, never ceases to amaze me!!

[@rapturexiii844]

George makes it look so effortless. Ive been watching your vids for quite some time and to no suprise ya havent slowed down at all lol

[@simonsmallhorne]

One of my favourite Nile tracks. Truly awesome, George! \m/

[@panzerwaffen2873]

same here

[@ericheydenreich2846]

Making it look easy and sound perpetually perfect!

[@millermonsterair]

thank you for sharing this with us. sounds great. looking forward to more in the future.

[@BleedingMem0ry]

Enjoyed every second of this video. Thank you so much George, hopefully more will come in the future. Always big hype when you upload a new video!

[@i_am_a_music_maker5212]

One of my favorites on this album. Great work!

[@A_Final_Hit]

This is just insanely awesome!

[@mummasshack1160]

Been following this guy since I was 16 (27 this year) and he never fails to impress.

[@Czarol]

Wooow.... You are the god of the speed George \m/

[@HeadbangorGTFO]

WE SHALL NEVER BE THE BLESSED DEAD

[@ChimichangaGuy]

Dude George is easily the greatest metal or all around drummer of all time. An absolute music god.

[@adammtroutman]

Pls don't insult so many by saying he's the greatest of all time

[@ChimichangaGuy]

+Adam Troutman don't care. my opinion.

[@JohnDoe-ic3qq]

objectively he is the best metal drummer

[@marciochiabotto590]

I used to think the same until Ken Bedene appeared. This new generation of metal drummers is full of guys who go beyond Kollias.

[@psyken_2321]

Márcio Chiabotto Aaron Kitcher.

[@ProjectVastness]

Honestly I like when you put this tracks with click, things come more clear also the divisions and sub divisions. Awesome job

[@brandoncannady3860]

Legendary performance.

[@pkdo1000]

You are awesome Kollias!!!

[@mariomecanikmolina6948]

freaking ridiculously awesome pure skill

[@MetalOnMetal]

It seems so easy as the moves are that smooth ! Still impressive.

[@allStonedall]

really great drumming!! like always!!

[@Satyros2os]

What a beast !!!

[@stumsi]

George, you NaILEd it!

[@dadirtyone1461]

Best in the business

[@metinatahan7187]

can watch him swivel all day long ..so fluid

[@dennisthomas3542]

Just off the dam chart with his foot work!!! Fucking beast

[@luisfernando-mm3jt]

It takes a lot of confidence to put the click there for the world to see with the click I can't fake it.... Great work

[@conorm2524]

Great homage to Tony. George is off the scales! Working out the click for this must have been a headache!

[@irvingcastro1999]

Realmente increíble, una de mis pistas favoritas

[@wladimirfroes3220]

Metal= Best Musicians....Thanks!

[@bornrich7997]

True

[@burythedead2]

This is awesome! 🎶🥁😎🦇🎶

[@JamesCarian]

Awesome performance George! Cool to see a studio video of a song before you were with Nile, just something you brought back for fun. Thanks for the upload, and thanks for being an inspiring drummer in the extreme metal genre! Cheers.

[@D.M.-]

My favourite non-Kollias Nile song

[@ikhsanromadhan3754]

Amazing!!

[@rybutz]

Finally, the perfect accompaniment to my Blessed Dead toast.

[@jonathanjacksonmusic2342]

I love the sound of your kit, its sounds like the ones from Slayer's South Of Heaven Album!! Great Work!!

[@dubbe186]

Awesome. Doing Tony's intensity on ITDS full justice!

[@eugeniograjales]

Brutal!

[@diegovergara1959]

Best Drummer in the world today, no doubt.

[@kobi666]

the beast from greece!

[@dahHobo]

sooooooo good

[@almostmatt1tas]

Joining Nile following this record must have been intimidating haha. Tony's drum parts are crazy. But, you fucking kill it, like always!

[@Nefville]

Definitely my favorite drumming song.

[@Nefville]

Definitely STILL my favorite drumming song.

[@alanhatedrummer]

Them fills!!

[@SlaysTheDay]

Wish i could purchase that isolated track without voice or drums to practice to. Amazing drumming as always, true artist.

[@metaljeffenc]

One of the best drummers out there! Anyone who talks shit is just jealous.

[@Myersarch77]

Finally got to see him at the chance in Poughkeepsie. He only opened his eyes between songs.

[@nareiKWhi7]

fucking awesome George!

[@christophercarson7733]

Everything you play looks effortless

[@KSdrummerofficial]

Best Drummer !!!!

[@HLC32]

Excellent! Like Tony ! :)

[@metalvocalistwanted]

The master :D\m/

[@cupasmell3325]

There are a few drummers hat are arguably more “extreme” but nobody can touch the smoothness and fluidity of his playing at the level of extremity that he does.

[@nealio-lv1qe]

This might be the fastest drumming I have ever seen.

[@acupofcoffee693]

Origin, Cytotoxin, Henker, Archspire, Cryptopsy, Infant Annihilator (beware all the hate mentioning them somewhere hahaha), maybe Cattle Decapitation, Kataklysm and Braindrill come this fast too \,,\ ofc there's more

[@i_am_a_music_maker5212]

Everybody is talking about George’s foot technique, which is nothing short of wizardry, but his single strokes are stupid impressive too. Some of the rolls he does are fucking insane

[@dgonzala]

the whole song is a roll haha

[@davebsd]

I'm a bigest fan of you and I hope you come to Salvador Bahia in Brazil, want to see you live and if possible make one pic of you, thank you Kollias, you are my inspiration to I keep practicing drums, hope be like you. Thanks.

[@Maconochiejohn]

Wow George!!! No swivel that quickly👏 wanted to see your band at the token lounge at Detroit but couldn't make it. :( this metronome is funny yet brutal song and title!!!

[@Maconochiejohn]

Bars of 7/8 i am hearing? 👌🏻

[@geokar5023]

Faster than machine gun!!! Θαυμάζω Γιώργο Κόλλια!!!!

[@anthonycaccamo6745]

I find this hypnotizing..

[@DEVILGOAT666]

best drummer of Technical Death Metal

[@taspiliot]

Yes!!

[@basavarajchitwadgi4555]

This guy is faster than my internet

[@alessandrovinci8724]

3:29 How to jump in the train at 6 in the morning and go work with a huge smile on your face ! Thank u master

[@malakbrood667]

We work the fields of the masters!

[@lordmarco]

Oh yeah this rules

[@nils5471]

Beep-boop-boop-boop, beep-boop-boop-boop, beep-boop-boop-boop, .... Awesome drumming.

[@kooper35]

OMG that beeping!!! :D

[@pekkalaitinen8769]

3:35 this is very cool

[@MrWinterblade]

Kollias' click is a better drummer than many out there

[@MajesticDemonLord]

could you please do a rendition of Unas Slayer of the Gods?

[@Vector_RM]

the best

[@michaelbaca838]

Thank u for the fucking amazing vids man. I have learned so much from watching you drumming sessions.

[@michaelbaca838]

*your

[@mark_of_the_legion2346]

Everything was almost perfect just needed that gravity blast @3:36 still a killer performance as usual and it's my fav song 🤘

[@michaelfadian]

Something about the drumming on this album is special. People can say whatever they want about Tony being sloppy live. When he was on, he was amazing. And the blasts on In Their Darkened Shrines... just sound aggressive and mean. George might be able to hit higher speeds, but when you're playing over 250bpm ... who really cares about an extra 20bpm. Churning the Maelstrom was one of the fastest things ever recorded up to that point, and Tony doesn't really accent every quarter note or 8th note on blasts like George does, which is extremely hard to do and adds to the sense of urgency. That being said, George is top shelf, without a doubt.

[@HLC32]

Best Nile track !

[@palAshbhattacharyavlogs]

how do u play so good

[@lakermike24]

DAMN!!

[@carolinaarizapulido3296]

I saw you in Colombia in 2014, you're an amazing drummer an awesome person, don't pay attention to thoes foolish who pretends to criticize your style.

[@tomakosssss]

Τέρας φίλε μου,περίμενα καιρό να ανεβάσεις βίντεο!

[@enzomorales9001]

brutal

[@timg3679]

Fucking incredible

[@fiercedietyfan]

Holy Shit!

[@slayerist]

Speeding ticket for Kollias please

[@OverlordOfChaos117]

The Best Machine Gun Drummer Ever

[@Brokenface]

you're the best

[@marcofrassini9172]

how can you remember all of these patterns? all this accents?

[@whamases]

marco Frassini George doesn't have to remember the patterns, the patterns remember him! 🤔

[@1990sDialUpWeb]

It's a drummers intuitions and forethought, muscle memory matched with years and years of dedicated practice.

[@nicolasfrossard4315]

marco Frassini well... he did write this...

[@DummerUserName]

no, it was tony laureano.

[@fluffypuppy720]

Earphones with metronome

[@ShankulChavan]

Aai zhavli!

[@manifist0]

Nice, old school.

[@pokecoop]

Nile is tech, not old school. Most old school stuff isn't technical at all

[@NargyleNurr]

He will storm those drums in the Golden Halls for Egyptian Gods once he ascends!

[@WretchedDrummer]

when people say Travis Barker is their favorite drummer...and then you show them this video.

[@diegolsalazar1440]

Or Lars Ulrich 😂🤣😂🤣

[@DummerUserName]

Lars is Great on Arrangement but yes 😆
