What if the NFL had a HEAVY METAL theme song? | Thick Riff Thursday, Ep 72

[@Kideem]

This unironically might be the sickest thing you've ever made That big chord section at 20:16 sounds too good

[@esauvargas3647]

That open chord part is what got me, top tier songwritting

[@braydengrieve3383]

While Nick was tracking I didn't see the vision, and then I saw the vision

[@carazy123_]

Literally seeing Hans Zimmer tn but a Nick Broomhall concert may give him a run for his money That countermelody is too freaking good

[@brianh.3123]

"I thought I was gonna win cuz he didn't see me coming" 😆

[@ericwinterspruce0110]

I love that these are posted around my lunch time, it really makes my day!

[@Tinman94]

I think the most impressive thing in this video is the fact he didn't have a system overload one time!

[@crispy_338]

We need a metal F1 theme next

[@kelly.householder]

+1

[@matildagreene]

oh ABSOLUTELY

[@CamPalmetto]

omg plz

[@ricardoalbertoalmeid]

Subbed.

[@TheRandomSpectator]

Fr. The F1 theme is lame af.

[@xRamZx]

I think you'll have Netflix calling to use this for the NFL games they're hosting this year! So sick!

[@SamBrockmann]

Hell yeah, brother! Makes me want to yell at the TV for the Broncos.

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

I started properly smiling and giggling when the percussion samples started HITTIN

[@joex-mn4we]

"Wtf is LABS+?" has been my mood this last month fr

[@joshkuhnmusic]

This could make me watch football again

[@Beezle66]

Luckily for you the season starts tonight😂

[@dbern939]

Dude Id have no idea where to start with this one, yours turned out sick, just the basic groove with the drums was amazing. Bonus points for the ocho reference as well :p.

[@JasonDeCarloGuitar]

This goes too hard. The NFL needs to hit you up for real now lol

[@brucel.7526]

four more bars of that epic part would have been truly epic!

[@jdonthebeat1517]

Bro this is UNREAL. When that quad fill came in at the end I got so hype lol

[@08hahahah]

Oh my gosh this is incredible. I can’t believe you just came up with this, super sick bro! NFL needs to pick this up asap

[@leeroyjenkins7945]

Feel like the chord progression section needed a repeat. Just as it got going it changed but still an epic theme. Well played sir.

[@johnny_b_dude]

Damn, when the chord progression part goes on, I just wish it was longer. Amazing work as always Nick, go Bengals! 🧡

[@connor-jobes]

You should just make videos where you're coerced into buying various plugins and sample libraries! Loved that part

[@Ripper15ltd]

Started getting major Trivium vibes from this the more it went on and I'm not mad about it!

[@adammotter7430]

5:09 made me say ‘Skyfall’

[@ChristopherNicholas]

I definitely hear it too!

[@nathanstatham]

Once you added the counter melody strings I get huge James Bond 007 vibes. This one is a blast man!

[@AundoMusic]

The only way you could get me to watch football.

[@joex-mn4we]

69 nice jumpscare 1:29

[@kelly.householder]

Slayed this man! Love this. Using Damage on this would also have been a sick add for the drums. Great work

[@great_gravity]

As if I wasn’t excited enough about football being back. “I see the vision!”

[@christianandreucci1846]

I love this series of videos. You are definitely a font of inspiration for me, every time i watch your videos i want to open my daw and compose. Keep going🖤

[@SamBaxter-l5t]

that was fucking incredible, probably the best thick riff Thursday yet

[@brolsonmusic]

This episode made me chuckle. Great track!! I hate football, but I watched this intently!

[@EvanDingman]

lmao dude this is actually so sick

[@BrandonGhost]

that chord progression is very Shadow Of Intent, i love it

[@andremouracosta]

BRO, THIS SHIT HITS HARD. HAAARD. IT HAD MADE ME HAAARD. EVERYTHING IS HARD ON ME RIGHT NOW. DAMMIT.

[@Paddyspalace]

really enjoyed this episode! Especially your energy and excitement, got a banger result out of it all, couldn't be happier :)

[@ItsNotSafe2Swim]

Such a sick video! Loved seeing the orchestra+drum line not get sidelined

[@Im_Not_A_Dad]

Labs+ gave me the same reaction. Initial mild irritation, then quickly pulling out the card after clicking one or two settings.

[@HaeonWVZ]

With my Vikings looking to have a down year this year (RIP JJ’s knee), I picked the Bengals as my AFC team. Joey B is the coolest and this team deserves at least one. May this thick riff carry them to the promise land, and remain thick enough to support a Lombardi. 🫡

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

11:03 made me chuckle so damn relatable... the frustration

[@kadensabourin2571]

MASSIVE trivium vibes

[@lightbl0om]

YES

[@jdjajrbrbak]

I’m so tempted to write a football game day script for an announcer type and pay someone on fivver to read it off over this theme. Also WHO DEY!

[@DevinJamesMetal]

This is sick dude!!

[@giantfragments]

that contrepoint at 20:17 is Ennio Morriconish, love it

[@larrymarcusmusic]

Love it 🤘 Toss more half-time grooves into that last section and it’d be just brutal! Btw - Detroit will be happy to allow your Bengals to join them in NOLA this year, before they send them back home empty handed 😎

[@itsamemario4]

Thank you so much for mentioning how long it took to make this

[@RobertDeer]

Goosbumps Man! Love it!

[@ericmoz1]

this was so exhilarating to watch. your getting go good at all of this bro. great vid

[@michaelj.anderson1116]

I didn't think I was going to like another NFL theme. But you just kill it every fucking time. Sick as always.

[@AdeebToor]

dude that chorus REALLY reminds of Allt, this was awesome!

[@dandilling4738]

Your videos give me life as we approach the start of the Fall semester XD

[@CalebFrush]

WHO DEY 🐅

[@bistro255]

man the chords are so good i need this to be so much longer

[@TheCrumbleOne]

Get in touch with the NFL bro, cause that's a banger!!

[@ivaanngarcia]

Wow it has been around a year since I started watching your videos. Very nice job Nick!

[@randylodder1265]

Not gonna lie......at first I was like, "Come on Nick....another NFL theme"?..........."Really"? But damn bro..........that turned out fricken epic!!! Nice job man 👊😎

[@AkiraSpectrum]

okay this is EPIC to the MAX

[@IvarKoster]

that harmonized lead sounds pretty awesome :)

[@Microwave_Rose]

I don't even follow the NFL and I just know this is perfect, what a banger

[@CRK-23i]

Well done. This slaps!

[@Dibzio]

Nick “Sportsball Chugs” Broomhall

[@Genociv]

Epic! Being French, I have no interest in football, but I must say your sports theme sound so dope in the US! Keep up the sick work man! ✌️🇨🇵

[@scottdickson9224]

Hype! Flying out to Buffalo tonight for the Cardinals game. This will def be the tailgate jam

[@GalacticBroski]

the counter melody is everything bro my goodness

[@theisaackielofproject3973]

the stank face when you started the meoldy the first time was indescribable

[@Bigthoogs]

Nick had a few spicy waters before this one. haha and im here for it. you are amped bro!

[@digitalmichael]

This was INSANE! Killer theme

[@OODZUTSU]

I just wanted to hear a giant WAIL at the end of the intro section. Would be so sick~

[@furi0nblack363]

Lookin' like Wilson, riffin' like Tosin.

[@BelowOblivion]

nailed it man, pretty sick

[@derekwray2486]

Best one by far, happy to be division rivals with you for sure lol

[@giantfragments]

I laugh of happiness 'cause it's so cool hahaha, and I'm french I never watch NFL. Great vibes dude

[@pattysmusic524]

"I've been working on this for a while. It's been 3 hours." Bro I take 3 hours just to track guitars for a song(sometimes more) I mean that's like a full 4 minute ish song but still, your ability to make magic happen swiftly is just a testament to your music production prowess I guess.

[@alexschulze7906]

I look forward to Thursdays not only because I have band practice but also because of these THICK RIFFS, I'm not even into sports but if this were the theme I might be more into it, GO BENGALS!

[@jsingaming3662]

This is SICK!

[@BelowOblivion]

that counter melody hits

[@cbagot1]

Sick bro. Who Dey!

[@SecularGuy]

Alright, as if I wasn't hyped enough for the season. LFG Brother!!!

[@beastoftheeast6673]

Dude your process is the shit

[@808berg]

Can''t believe its been a year since you last did this. Also, if you're looking for good horn (or any other orchestral instrument) libraries, I highly recommend Miroslav Philharmonik 2 by IK Multimedia

[@psychera5640]

east west has some pretty good stuff too!

[@theinfinitemyth]

BENGALS?! BENGALS?!.................😐🤣 Joking aside this theme is incredible and made me want to strap the pads back on and storm the gridiron like the good old high school days. If this theme played before every televised game, NFL or college, I would watch just to hear the theme. Awesome work as always! GO BRONCOS!

[@Marshall-Argentmetal]

I like to call harmonizing guitars 'super hero guitars' cause that's what they make me think of

[@benhagan]

That counter melody 💯❤️

[@CZitoMusic]

My exact reaction when I found out about spitfire LABS subscription fee 😔 Epic and thick arrangement though!

[@cliffpennington4895]

SICK!

[@craigmedeck6454]

This is a banger.

[@Rowanexen]

That percussion sounds like beating the shit out of a Wii U with a baseball bat 😂😂😂 I love it!!

[@bobbydrex5268]

Need a metal version of the buh buh buh buh basketball gimme gimme the ball cuz I'm gonna DUNK IT

[@shreddykruger3612]

dude this is so sick

[@Tayloredmedia22]

This will be the theme if Westeros ever hosts a superbowl

[@derekv9710]

This shit is just insane. Holy shite

[@ChefClarke97]

Gift from god man!

[@danydzn]

might be one of my favourite trt so far

[@matt6288joyce]

Amazing!

[@stephenblack9843]

This got too sick

[@doingravy]

Reminds me of Austrian death machine so good ❤

[@Xenthara]

This is one of my fav videos of 2024, wow! I need to know though, which guitar vst are you using? I assume it’s one of the Neural DSPs

[@evigkrig4386]

Yay! Sports!

[@PeterCleff]

Dude I'm from a country that doesn't even have the NFL and you've got me hyped 😂USA USA USA!

[@Ghost_WWR]

WHO DEY!!!!

[@joshkuhnmusic]

Thanks for the reminder to update my LABS now lol

[@abuventertainment2856]

Sick dude!

[@JJJacobsMusic]

Here we go STILLERS here we go
