[@PiukeBass]

Nobody can play Kings of the Carnival Creation like him... He is a master!!!!!

[@panzerwaffen2873]

Death cult Armageddon and puritanical euphoric misanthropic is pure barker

[@LeviJr84]

Incarnated Marvel simplifyed.... Nick Barker, Lord Marco Pitruzella, gene hoglan, Tim yeung. For me the best drummer ever.

[@wheeljack0]

One of my all time favourite drummers.

[@johncodee9175]

Cradle of Filth's BEST drummer!! Top bloke!

[@sticksman7819]

Never be replaced.marthus is a monster but he's not nic.when he left cradle and dimmu those bands lost something. That's something is nic.

[@od3772]

Nick Barker is the best metal drummer! But in my opinion, just for CoF best drummer - Adrian Erlandsson!

[@javo_roma]

EVERY band he has ever been best drummer, this guy is a true fucking legend.

[@TyrHymirson]

And Dimmu Borgir too before he was fired by them.

[@erickrodriguez6833]

@@TyrHymirson not sure how accurate this is, but I heard he left because of family issues.

[@justtellthemno]

This is the man who got me into drums 12 years ago.

[@user-me7mm7gr1p]

Yeah I always thought he was badass when I was starting out with drums too in Dimmu and old man's child

[@panda51829able]

The little kid in the window at 2:50 was like " oh shit that's nick barker ! He was the soul and heart of cradle of filth and dimmu borgir back in the day 666. Sheeit here comes my chicken fingers and apple juice "

It's a shame that there's so little footage of him here on YT. Thanks for the interview!

[@mrsedlav2425]

Dude's a living legend. "Cruelty and the beast", "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" and "Pleasures pave sewers" are textbooks of metal drumming

I was there, front row. Amazing show!

[@evilwarnings2419]

One of the best drummers out there. Good interview as usual!

[@SargonnasIncarnate]

He looks well rested in this interview.

[@TheSatanicDwarf]

Thanks for this video, Nicholas is the best. I watch his live video of "Indoctrination" very often, because he's just so good. Really good taste and awesome fills. Nothing over the top. Also so humble it's true. Another quality. Sorry to hear he has panic attacks and stuff, I hope he can get the help he needs. He's awesome!

[@sticksman7819]

Whenever nick drums on any album I get excited.ive never known a drummer to look so relaxed at the tempos he plays with such accuracy and precision.the cradle pandeamoneon DVD really shows what this guy can do and thats 20+ years ago.such a huge inspiration certainly for my drumming.long live Barker.

[@craigzilla3420]

Haha I love the boy staring at them through the window at 2:57. That little kid had no idea that he was sitting there within 10 feet of a drumming god.

[@JesusLordOfLords455]

Awesome drummer, and a good human being :)

[@behindthen0thing]

hey nick, i love your work and you're a huge inspiration to this day

[@destructhorn3204]

Nick is such a down to earth guy. Pretty friendly. He's also a beast behind the kit.

Great drumner and he his a very beautiful man.

[@LordEldarc]

Thanks for this upload! My no.1 idol Nick Barker !

[@existentialismtyrant5722]

There are many great extreme drummers but no one has the creativity barker puts into the songs and all the drummers that fills the void when he leaves never nails the parts he wrote for each and every song. He is the best because he can do things no one can. He might not be the flashiest or the most technique etc but his drumming stands out and only he can nail those parts. That make him ahead of the pack

[@TheMartin1308]

One of my favorite drummer of all time! man this dude has a powerfull hand drumming 💀🥁🥁🥁🥁💀

[@TheManglerPolishDeathMetal]

Amazing persona ! and such great artist

[@KarmaKazi666]

It meant a lot to hear him talk about red light fever. This guy was my first big drumming hero. So reassuring to hear how human he is in the end.

[@EddieBsB]

Damn, I love that man ! So humble and the man smokes Mary Jane ! yay ! :)

[@darrenrichardson3976]

His shit is good too, he fucked me up back stage at a festival! Nice fella and a Poison Idea fan...nuff said.

[@thagirion9761]

Phenomenal drummer!

And he’s self taught it’s awesome 😎

[@SteelProphet]

Great drummer

[@adofilth]

I liked him in Cradle and Dimmu as well

[@fernandezmarkbrianc.2542]

He's a good fill as well for Gorgoroth's Frost and Kvitrafn when Gaahl and King is still on the band

[@rebarbadora]

I love the questions, and I think Barker too!

I wish there was a live recording of Guds Fortapelse with Barker on drums

[@halvormyklebust4583]

[@sixsixsix.]

Nick Barker is not only an awesome drummer. But off the kit; he's really a cool guy.

[@balrogDCLXVI]

Crazy, how humble and calm Nick is. Maybe he had smoked some pot before the intrrview... :) Very interesting and surprising to hear about his anxiety attacks.

[@napakamu9670]

yeah that sucks

[@danielbaugher826]

balrog marijuana probably effects people differently but in most folks it does elevate anxiety / paranoia

[@Maidenize666]

He looks so quiet and calm. He burned the stage with Gorgoroth in wacken. The drums alone changed the feel nd power of the songs, must watch for fans.

[@mellowtron214]

Bare with me, but I recently watched the Red Letter Media review of the newest Terminator movie, and as a joke Mike (the host?) was bashing his keyboard in a pattern that was from the sorta Terminator “theme”. I quickly realized that the pattern of that Terminator theme was the same as the pattern for the intro of Dimmus’ _Unorthodox Manifesto_ which fuuuuucking slaps, god damn. I think that record came out like 20 years ago or some shit, and I’ve only now realized that it had the Terminator theme as a kinda intro. I applaud you Nick, you’ve inspired hundreds of thousands of musicians across the world.

[@roberto4760]

[@victorsupreme214]

Out of all the 350lb+ extreme metal drummers in the world Nicholas barker is my favourite followed by Gene Hoglan (post KFC period).

We all know this guys the best has been for a long time

[@Trip4man]

He always wanted to be a guitarist?!? I did not know that!!! Nicholas is the best drummer period! All the new drummers do versions of him all over the place. But ironically... I always wanted to be a drummer and ended up being a guitarist, it's more "quiet" than drums (my neighbors thank me)

[@ffp08]

In my opinion, that dream team would be Nicholas Barker on drums, Galder on lead, Gonde on bass, Anton Reisenegger on rhythm, Mustis on keyboards and Zel on vocals.

Nick looks a little bit depressed in this interview.

[@klausneda8807]

I mean, he says it himself, he suffers from anxiety and this is showing during the interview. It is indeed a paradox that this calm, even timid person becomes such a beast on the stage.

the one question i wan`t to ask him can he speak norwegian

[@jaymzx2587]

Thanks for this interview but come on.. the guy tells you about the fact that he uses weed because of anxiety and you choose to ignore it? Such a missed opportunity to really get to know the guy behind the drummer. Instead you just keep asking the same boring questions every interviewer into he musicbizz does; influences and so on. Disappointing!

[@andrepereira744]

I think this is about his drumming not about his personal problems and drug choices. Why the hell you want to share that with the world.
