Symbolic (featuring Nick Barker) - Misanthrope

[@Quantum973]

Nick is a fucking machine holy shit

[@burntcrispycorpse]

Were all metal head's we should be uniting not fighting! R.I.P. CHUCK SCHULDINER

[@version.x342]

Nick Barker covering Gene Hoglan. Pure awesomeness and both are my favorite drummers!

[@MegaTattoo79]

agree, but pls check out STEVE FLYNN on ATHEIST's "Unquestionable Presence" or GNOSTIC's "Engineering The Rule" . he is underrated!

[@shanegriffin2215]

Nick Barker and Charlie Benante have this in common: No matter what they are playing, they make it look effortless. These drum parts are anything but easy to replicate. What a beast.

[@tamas.alfoldi]

Nick is playing it faster than the Gene on the album.

[@kellenmills6622]

yea just a bit

[@kellenmills6622]

a lot of people do that when they play live, they get really hyped and get to excited.

[@CamiloMoyaBaterista]

true

[@85Aheadstix]

Barker is much faster and more technical than Gene could ever be.

[@astralhed]

I saw the new Death documentary a few weeks ago and Gene said he recorded the drums for the Symbolic album on a drum machine ...he said they were on tour (I believe in Europe) when they recorded that album so they did all the recording on the tour bus which would be very difficult for Gene and has very large kit ...so he said he replicated on the drum machine exactly what he had played during the short spurts of rehearsals they had before shows when they practiced the new stuff ...still ...both Gene and Nick are totally amazing, but Nick on this is mind blowing

[@elfdeveloper]

Nick Barker is a genius of drums playing. Every musical project is perfect when Nick Barker is on it.

[@chinguetas47810]

Fucking Insane drummer. That breakdowns are just amazing!!!!

[@lextalionis2459]

Nick Barker is so underrated.

[@unkind78]

Lex Talionis by who?

[@shinma989]

People don't underrate Barker. They rate him for what he is: one of the best!

[@crazzzymike69]

Nick barker is the best metal drummer in the world!

[@ciastek4124]

NICK FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ucanpastirmapastirma6170]

when I was 13, I discovered death with this song and I loved it. Then I came youtube to see a live version and watched this video. This cover was so good and similar to the real song I tought this was the real death band for like 1 month. After finding out chuck was already dead I was devistated

[@astralhed]

wow …this cover is epic and that drummer ...sick

[@VinyLegends]

fine tribute to Death...a band that did so much for much in such a short amount of time.

[@henshantam1797]

Nick Barker adapts very well in every band he helped and make it better!

[@MegaTattoo79]

Hammer Of The Gods behind the kit!! mindblowing!

[@-GRAVESITE-]

Anything with barker slays

[@АдептЛюбыч]

Omg dat drummer!

[@shanegriffin2215]

An INSANE talent on the kit!

[@Misanthrope_1980]

THANK YOU SYMBOLIC... NICE COVER... CHUCK IS ALIVE!

[@emmerich79]

Bombastic cover!!!!! Perfect vocals !!!!!!

[@SaidesLaMarca]

Finally found a decent version for this great song

[@PedroClavel]

I always get excited when I hear this song :3

[@deathcruzado]

@theartofbut Compadre, la idea de esta presentación es un tributo, es homenajear a chuck, no que le saliera igual, si chuck es único. Además el tipo le pone fuerza, le pone emoción, siente la música y la misma admiración de nosotros por chuck y eso lo transmite en el escenario y se agradece demasiado, esto es lejos el mejor tributo a Death y Chuck que ha existido.

[@RafaelAlves-yu4vs]

Obrigado por continuarem o trabalho de um homem imortal uma lenda do mettal death!!!

[@DonHichot]

I love Gene but Nick is f# sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[@Nothing-bl7bj]

Those vocals are fucking sick.

[@marinavarro2408]

[@valdante7136]

Lmao

[@diluted8]

ONLY REASON I WATCH THIS VIDEO IS NICK BARKER. OTHERWISE JUST WATCH THE REAL THING!

[@Nargaroth]

well this is a random pleasant surprise.. 12 years later..

[@Roodsteam]

@BornUndivine Its your opinion... The concert of death 1998 was kickass!

[@Naaga88]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls He needs triggers for the kind of music he plays. Triggers have nothing to do with speeding up, and can't make you faster then you really are. They just serve to get clear notes on your bass drum when you play at high speeds... Learn it!

[@DRUMTALKRussia]

Already seen Nick Barker interview at our channel?

[@33catch33]

their vocalist sounds like Tom Araya from slayer doing death vocals.... ITS SO BRUTAL \M/

[@bmw_m4255]

not really

[@johnkeats666]

He's exactly sounding like Chuck! Not Tom

[@LaObraDeMarteLODM]

Nico Barker. FUCKING LEGEND .

[@hammadkhurshid1484]

Nick is fucking storm 💓

[@bmw_m4255]

say what?

[@remo196969]

nice to hear and feel...!

[@jonneES99]

yeah, almost perfect playing and music ofcourse \,,/

[@boaminikam2]

Its sooo fast!! I love it

[@bkd4303]

I always thought they said "now all were lost to the power of reptile. Stand strong boys!"

[@guilhermefontana6499]

Awesome job!!!

[@Naaga88]

@blindcynic Amen.

[@85Aheadstix]

@Naaga88 I still think Nicks drumming is better personally, his blasting is insane, the funny thing is they are both big guys, and both defy physics, i just love Nicks splash accents and what not though.

[@meshuggahfan]

fuckin ace of the bass drum; Nick Barker.

[@joshrubin5942]

sick

[@oscarmb2024]

Damn that drummer is a fucking machine. In all the bands that he has played, they sound better with him. Brujería for instance.

[@gamerdareswins2825]

Nick barker is the like the British Gene hoglan. But bald, faster and more techical

[@WeWantYouToStay]

Nowhere near as creative on his own though

[@gamerdareswins2825]

WeWantYouToStay when has he ever been on his own?

[@korzalm]

I just loved it. Fitted nicely!

[@ffp08]

Are you high? Go listen to In Defiance of Existence.

[@gamerdareswins2825]

ffp08 Never heard of them.

[@Naaga88]

@85Aheadstix I'm familiar with his work in Dimmu Borgir :) I like Gene's and Nick's work equally, and they are both ferocious drummers and great personalities. The fact that Gene's a lefty drummer gives me a different point of view... There's no need for comparing them :D

[@bern213]

The devil would want to learn drums from Mr Barker

[@xsodxgeez]

big dude is tripn on them fuckn drums

[@Bathoryx619]

Now now.....lets not play this game, they are both great drummers, with complete diffrent styles and techinque. is not about who is better than the other, is about how great they both are in their own way.

[@85Aheadstix]

NICK BARKER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PielDeSerpiente2295rattler]

@theartofbut es verdad lo que dices! estoy deacuerdo... aunque te digo yo PAGARIA para ver un espectaculo de tributo a Death De esa Talla!... aunque como dices! nada como el original

[@Melogy]

@davidmalakian17 no ''symbolic '' is canadian (quebec)

[@Naaga88]

@ShittyMcPoopyBalls Barker drums effortlessly.

[@existentialismtyrant5722]

Should rename this video nick barker with some blokes doing death cover. Commentary is mostly about him and rightfully so

[@NinjaBoxe]

I always wonder how Nick can be so fat.. He is burning over 10.000 calories each song.. He is a mean machine on drums.. Gotta love him :-D

[@ikcaaleksandar8550]

insane beast

[@mdogpuck1]

such a great line

[@mdogpuck1]

jeff's

[@dimebrad2760]

Nick likes to eat and play drums. That's it. If he cut the calories back he would lose weight and be skinny like anyone else. But food is too damn tasty and irresistible to some people.

[@MegaTattoo79]

yes but consider , the more you are technical playingwise, the less you struggle, because you learn to use rebounce and cut down a bit of the physical effort ! then triggers which help a lot

[@crazzzymike69]

@ckreticeland it is impossible for statements based on opinion to be false (or true) but... whatever.

[@MrSeemby]

@85Aheadstix My brother's band's drummers name is Nick, and he looks just about like Nick Barker does here ... Weird

[@Bultish]

I'll drink to that !

[@pablocuello4184]

This tribute band is light years better than DTA

[@DonHichot]

f true

[@CaptBlasi]

A W E S O M E

[@ph0b0rz]

@brunostolosa I think he has a great style and he plays like a fucking atomic clock (as gene hoglan does :P).

[@jovany69]

El tributo es muy bueno y yo no me pondría a comparar ni a criticar nada mas así te la digo, que el tributo es en memoria de Chuck

[@SirWilliam7395]

Where i can buy this complete dvd????

[@RafaelAlves-yu4vs]

Fodaaaaaaaaaa yheaaaaaa

[@StevenMcPeterbilt]

@Naaga88 I have triggers silly!!! But you can obviously tell that he's putting no effort into his legs.

[@bst1984]

the band is phenomenal tho.. close your eyes and you think it's death

[@StevenMcPeterbilt]

@Naaga88 Well yeah, because he's triggering.

[@Misanthrope_1980]

Death, never play live this song!

[@peppefrasca5179]

why?

[@Misanthrope_1980]

i dont know why.

[@peppefrasca5179]

you know why

[@Misanthrope_1980]

only Chuck knows why...

[@peppefrasca5179]

you are Chuck

[@disequalone]

Is Barker a god?

[@raphaelferreira1107]

Is that Paul Booth on the Drums!? kkkkkkk

[@michellavoie9710]

+Raphael Ferreira ???????? it writing up man is NICK BARKER

[@Dontfwithmebro]

i dont think they gona be better cover than that !

[@blindcynic]

@Naaga88 that, and if you suck at drumming you'll sound even worse if you're using triggers.

[@nonameslb]

I like Tom Hunting from Exodus, check him out

[@TheArtOfButchery]

bueno viejos no se ustedes este tipo hizo un buen trabajo aun que de principio no canta muy bien en la primera cancion se dedica mucho a gritar las liricas en vez de cantarlar pero a medida que va avanzando va mejoran y agarrando el hilo para cantar los mas similar posible a chuck sin embargo me parece que Matthew Sweeney hace un trabajo respetable aqui pero igual no se compara con el dios Chuck cantando pero igual aplaudo a estos chamos por este trabajo

[@maximecoulombe6125]

João Gordo on drum

[@theguythatmakesvideo]

I'm still in the beginning stages of death metal. I'm more in the thrash world. But I'm pretty sure dave lombardo is the one who inspired all the death metal drummers to play fast and agressive. same goes for all the other thrash drummer's and the one who invented it, phil taylor. Just saying, no one is actually the best. There's ALWAYS someone better

[@diekrahe.]

The vocals sound like a cross between Chuck and Tom Araya

[@davidmalakian17]

Symbolic The Colombian tribute???? Symbolic La banda tributo, Colombiana???

[@85Aheadstix]

Hahah, Nicks like the Bald brit version of Hoglan.

[@patr4835]

buenisimoooooo!!!!! el bajista el es unico que destiñe.es muy fome ////

[@deanfeldhausen2598]

I know that most drummers play faster when they play live, but it really killed the groove that this song has. I never thought that this song would be hard to headbang to. Absolutely, a great drummer, but slow down so you can get into the tune! Fuck, this is frustrating.

[@texaspete2371]

Seriously? Nick is so fucking tight. Check your ears bruh

[@maladykiller]

Gene Hoglan Disliked this

bueno eso diselo a los tipos que mas abajo empiezan a compararla y decir que la banda suena mejor en vivo que death y que canta mejor que chuck. yo solo les emiti mi opinion porque me parece muy bobo decir que suenan mejor que death y que chuck

[@TheArtOfButchery]

compadre mi comentario va referido a los anteriores que en ingles dicen que suenan mejor que death en vivo y que canta mejor que chuck... el tributo es muy bueno ... pero como se puede ser tan gafo y decir que son mejor que death? es por eso que hice mi comentario

[@MrSeemby]

My older brother's old drummer was a bigger guy named Nick..... weird....

A little bit out of tempo?

Claro con Chuck seria perfecto :( pero ya que le hacemos, pinche cancer

[@TheArtOfButchery]

mi comentario va referido a los 2 anterios en donde dicen que la banda suena mejor y que inclusive canta mejor que chuck... o sea por dios como carajo se puede decir eso.. si el tributo es de pinga sin duda el mejor pero se tiene que estar un poco mongolele para decir que es mejor de los mismo Death y que Chuck.. ninguno de esos comentarios los veo valido y me parecen mas idiotas... mamando? ja... creeme admiro demsiado a chuck como para no decir nada ante un comentario asi ;)
