Jason Richardson & Luke Holland | Ishimura | Metal Musician Reaction

[@JasonRichardsonGuitar]

Slow dancing for prog dudes is genius lmfao 🫠

[@trustyTankadin]

Sick track! Wife and I loved it.

[@cheesetheoriginalmres7727]

and i read this as he says it, gotta love when that happens 🤣

[@sergiarilla8608]

That was sick

[@Imapatriot]

Good job my dude👍⚡️

[@j2swanky]

here I was thinking I was late for self-loathing practice today. thanks for looking out, Nik 🙃

[@carcher4525]

That fucking stick behind the back caught with the same hand shot was insane. I usually think like over used tricks especially in his older videos but damn that was an insane one holy shit. Also so glad he teamed up with Jason his actual skill is on par with Jason’s and so far this is my favorite song he’s ever done

[@gregmerritt9366]

"Yup. I can't play it. That was quick." - pretty much one of the first thoughts that run through my head when watching any Jason Richardson video.

[@chilldamage6741]

3:06 Jason Richardson shredding so hard he got Nik stunlocked.

[@easyriffening]

"We can be happy while breaking down?" 🤣🤣

[@fearsbecomephobias2129]

"Ishimura" is the name of the space ship from the "Dead Space" video game series. Fuck'n fantastic game that's making a comeback next year for all those that are curious. I forget Jason is a video game nerd as well as being an absolute monster musician, what a dope song/video \m/

[@anthonynelson1699]

While I love the Dead Space franchise, I feel like naming this song after THAT game is....odd. Nothing about this is reminiscent of that game.

[@alexmethvin8876]

Well maybe it is for Dead Space, but the name Ishimura also roughly translates to Stone Village.

[@sergiorj_1]

Nice!!!

[@TheCryptoGinger]

“It’s like slow dancing for prog dudes” 😜

[@spirit_noise]

The end is like an old Final Fantasy game 🎮 Love this track

[@Crantrex]

"You can be happy while breaking down?" Best quote from this video by far.

[@jakel7213]

I really wanna see Nick do Animals as Leaders Red Miso. That shit goes stupid

[@GrotesqueSmurf]

Yo Nik! 3:30 the "happy breakdown" reminded me A LOT of "Catch the Sun", a russian metalcore project from around 2010-ish. Mostly done/recorded/mixed by one single dude in his bedroom (awesome prodcution tho!). He even learned to scream just for the project. But he/they also did a lot of instrumental songs. You definitely should check them out sometime! Song tipps: Nothings lasts Forever, Reflection, Echoes, No Heroes (has music video), Aspiration

[@TheStrykerProject]

It IS hard to make a guitar-centric intrumental hooky, for sure. One of the greatest examples though, imo, is Lynch's "Mr. Scary". If you aren't hooked by that main groove ya got no soul.

[@HarptoHeart69]

Of course this song was epic but damn 3:00 - 3:30 was absolutely insane! Nik I was making the same face you were lol. Thanks for the review, much love from NC. 🤘🇺🇸🤘🤯🔥

[@BaneOfXistence4]

That tapping part reminded of the sequence from Guthrie Govan's song Sevens.

[@HarptoHeart69]

@@BaneOfXistence4 You sir, have good taste in music. 🙏🤘

[@BaneOfXistence4]

@@HarptoHeart69 Cheers mate! Guthrie is always killing it.

[@vulpinester1308]

Sick reaction as always 🤘

[@CI0udburst]

Not too big of a fan of Jason’s solo work but I really dig this song. Parts of the song remind me of CGs Evolve EP

[@Drewrandomdude223]

Fucking love Jason and Luke collabing, they produce amazing music, definitely hoping for an album soon! Also nik, you heard the new bury tomorrow tune yet, think you'd love it!

[@SirianXM]

The only thing better than Spotify's "Recommended For You" is Nik's "Watch Me Watch This!"

[@Cali-chef]

I saw this video the other day and was waiting for your breakdown. Cheers mate!

[@heathstory9655]

I really really enjoy what these two are doing. It's quite audibly pleasing

[@MW-wm8hb]

When i saw an notification about NEW song from Jason i was like” damn i Need to listen it with Nik” haha!

[@timblack1983]

Jason clearly a huge Petrucci fan.

[@jeremygarnermusic6226]

He’s very open about it in interviews. He talks about Train of Thought a lot and he’s even got the album cover tatted on his shoulder.

[@timblack1983]

@@jeremygarnermusic6226 You can hear it for sure. Lil Loomis as well.

[@jeremygarnermusic6226]

@@timblack1983 absolutely!! Lots of Petrucci and Loomis, but he does it in a way that’s in his own spin! I haven’t heard anyone else do what Jason is doing. The dude is phenomenal!

[@jo3hamilton]

These two…masters at their craft. Loved it

[@justinrecio8609]

Bro thank you so much for continuing ur videos ur awesome 🙏🏻

[@Fez135]

Nik-of-The-Night on point as always!

This is now my favourite JR track.

[@scottstollery2191]

"Sound like a chirp" (1:36): Blackburnian Warbler!

[@lordamoghxd]

I was thinking of u uploading this epic

[@FrankieWithAnE]

I’m surprised he has yet to check out NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST . It’s right up his alley

[@magnuskj2001]

Aight Nik, let's put the guitars down, and do slowdancing like prog chads,

[@jeffnduran]

Pretty cool. I won't remember this a year from now though.

[@michaelsaliani9441]

Jason be "double-majoring" in musicality and melody on this one, right guys? Right!? Get it?.....okay i'll just see myself out then.

[@TIMMAURICEMUSIC]

😂😂 but he was though 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GumboRyan]

Ay. You stay here bro. Lol

[@zparkyy1800]

OMG BRO I GET IT. Djust to give you some good energy and like dude above me, stick around my dude.

[@C1schecter101]

[@microchrist6122]

“Tom it up Luke” 😂

[@AquaHulKMUSIC]

Jason and Luke are incredible together 🔥🔥🤘

[@BrackyBracket]

6 second long intro. Nik you're insane

[@hmxmisfit2120]

"We can be happy while breaking down?" *pure look of confusion and panic*

[@marcel.monashee]

[@RyanJarnaginPulseGuitar]

[@ayandey137]

Slow dancing for Prog dudes 😂😂 yeah man the only music i'll slow dance to while tapping my feet at 150bpm

[@xtrafe5953]

Wait, did I miss the reaction for p00mbachu? I saw your reaction to the new polyphia but nothing for jason and luke yet.

[@Knowonselph]

That "alright" at 2:07 is what I say with every new song nowadays 😄

[@luneth4222]

Nik, thank you so much for being here! Because of you, I've discovered really great songs and artists! We love the ch0nk!

[@MKLS]

The track is absolutely iinsane!! Nik you should totally react to the World Wide Shred Collab with 30 other amazing guitar players! 🥳🔥

[@MisterBolticus]

Naming one of your best compositions after the setting of the original Dead Space is just about one of the most based things you could do

[@HoaPierre]

"this is just like slow dancing... but for prog dudes"

[@IgorJCorrea]

This sounds like early polyphia + arch echo, really hope their next stuff sounds like this too.

[@BassandBuds]

We need a Gordian naught reaction!

[@sages7783]

its like.... a whole album fit inside a 5 minute single.

[@phaaaze9984]

That tapping section reminded me of like volition era protest the hero

[@noah.whitehorn.051]

Slower sections sound like Caligula’s Horse and I love it

[@wrothspring5636]

New Bury Tomorrow reaction?

[@Marta1Buck]

I like it when Jason doesn't turn up the knob to 11 from the start to finish.

[@deadNdivine12]

Happy Breakdown.. has it been done before this?

[@stegolewis]

“this is just like slow dancing… but like for prog dudes” 😂 Perfect.

[@jjoao32]

Happy break... What??? This sums it up!

[@TIMMAURICEMUSIC]

I think my whole arm would be cramped up by about half way through.. sheesh!!

[@draleigh8881]

hahahaha Nik- "you can have happy breakdowns?" Jason Richardson- " Yes."

[@12rebder]

Where's the cover for ur metalcore flash game song huh???!!!??👀👀👀

Is the title a Dead Space reference?

[@murcielagokj]

[@raygun1414]

[@Marthyboy88]

Imagine these dudes opening with Falling in Reverse, since Luke is drumming for them now... would be actually sick.

3:00-3:30 was INSANE

[@jonahbacon2415]

Undoubtedly one of the greatest guitarists...but the music just does nothing for me. I feel like I'm missing something.

[@jasonmiller9530]

kinda the same here, mad respect for their talent, but its just not something that would hit my playlist

[@jakel7213]

Jason's music (usually) is super sick to watch him play, but just listening it does lack that cohesion that some instrumental tracks have.

[@xezmakorewarriah]

yeah the playing is impressive and all but the song kinda lacks structure

[@thefakefrydryce6304]

2:00 nik went from 😂 to 😐 real quick
