I had no idea they used double bass in this song. I looked at videos to see if they would play a double bass live, but seems not. I wonder if one of the band members played the double bass or if they got someone who plays the instrument to play for them.
Montes skills are honestly up there with some of the best in so many different genres, whole band gets way too much crap for how talented they actually are
I still don't understand how such a masterpiece ended up in the discography of such a mediocre band. I mean, I dislike 99% of their stuff, but this. This is super cool!
@@JzelMoniK ETF had some killer instrumentals, some of the best I've heard. Craig and Ronnies vocals were good, but the freaking guitar lines were top notch
Straight up took me 3 months of nonstop practice in high school just to be below average at sweeping. It takes so much practice, definitely recommend learning multiple arpeggios and just playing the crap out of them at slow tempos and slowly increase tempo if you can play it perfectly. That helped me
Love the ppl who do this especially for tabs from bands who prohibit other ppl from learning their shit on tabs aka Polyphia >.> Look up Polyphia tabs u wont find them, they monetize their tabs on their site lol
This song slaps! The good ol’ high school days hanging out at the “dark side” 🤣 man... good times. I’ll slapp like just cause you brought some good memories.
After watching Escape The Fate live, seeing Kevin swinging his guitar around and jumping, I went home and started looking into buying a guitar. I have one now and I'm learning more and more every single day.
Dude, I went to louder than life 2021 last year. Chugged 3 beers back to back before I got in. Felt like shit. Was waiting for sevendust cause I didn't care for escape the fate. I was thinking to myself "nah, I haven't listened to them since I was a teenager." They had like 10 mins left. The beer hit me HARD. I was in a great mood now. I was just telling my fiancee that there was 1 song I loved by ETF growing up and BAM!!! They started to play This War Is Ours. I was like " holy shit I'm hearing this live!" It was the first time hearing it in 10 years. It set the mood for the whole festival. It was one of the greatest times of my life.
Fun fact: Escape the Fate filmed a music video for this song in my hometown in California, and they let all the local fans be in the video. So I'm in the music video, haha. It's not a great video but hey.
Ahhh this takes me back.This is ironically the first "heavy" song I ever heard when i was 6 years old, because i was an anime kid back then, and loved to watch amvs. As always, amazing cover nik ❤️
The screen tabs are such a nice addition! I can't even play guitar, but having the tabs there as you played were fascinating to watch, also gave a better visual idea for what you are doing.
Monte Money (The lead guitarist who made the riffs and solo) approved and shared it on his story. By the way, Monte sings and he has a beautiful voice while his brother Micheal Money does badass metal screams in their own called Beyond Unbroken. Almost forgot, they created 2 songs before BU called Clarity (Behind The Curtain) and Break Free (Money Brothers)
I love that you kill that intro sweep picking. Every time I’ve seen Escape The Fate live when they have played this song the intro is played different than the album.
This song was around when I first started playing guitar and always was like one of the hardest imaginable songs to play for me back then... Still is to this day lol
god! that was the song that got me into guitar playing :D really good work! even after nearly 10 years of playing and self learing i can not play the intro... x)
Yes!!!!!! I've been a metalhead for over a decade. Escape the fate was definitely early high school days. I still love and have all their albums. I'm mostly into Technical death metal. Listen to Archspire- Human Mumuration. You can thank me later.
After two years of playing I still have troubles playing those intro arps at full speed, yet you played them so cleanly you put even the studio version to shame! Incredible cover Nick, this song means a LOT to me to say the least :D
Man high school memories dude. I've been a metalhead for over a decade. I still love Escape the fate, but I'm more into Technical death metal and dsbm. Escape the Fate's self Titled album is always my favorite album from them.
It was really fun to watch the process of you learning the song and then seeing it all come together. You killed the intro and it was awesome to see because of how much shit it gave you.
Was not at all expecting that angry cat But that's literally what I always called that dive bomb thing with whatever effects he has on it besides reverb. I feel so seen right now Back in 2011 I was saying this as well

*SWEEPS!*
*Tabs for this song and my other covers are live on my Patreon! ► **www.patreon.com/NikNocturnal*
if only i had that high pitched voice and could sing along... dreams of being into metalcore back in 07 lmao
Totally should do some Iron Maiden for a cover 🤘
Dude keep sweeping like that and you can probably just throw your broom in the trash
Wonder how many takes you had to do for the opening solo
I miss this style of metalcore. Fast, catchy riffs, solos, shredding, double bass, 2step rhythms, and so much more.

@@purpleturtle8841 he's talking about drum
what is 2step?
@@Duarki the rhythm at 0:43 is a 2step rhythm.
@@Duarki It's a dance used in hardcore punk music.
0:13 alright screen tabs let's see if I c--
0:18 aand I'm out
That’s exactly what I thought. 😂😂
bruh i was like aight drop cee... nvm lol
that sweep section is not nearly as difficult as it sounds, or even looks. super fun song to play and learn imo
The sweeps are crazy in this
still havent got the basics of sweep picking, but listening to it, its not that fast.....but for my hands...its already that fast to keep up xD
Elitists: Metalcore bands have no talent.
Escape the Fate: Hold my eyeliner
Montes skills are honestly up there with some of the best in so many different genres, whole band gets way too much crap for how talented they actually are
@@youtubesbichasspolicys5888 Too bad Monte isn’t in the band anymore and the quality of their music went to shit because of that.
@@davidsoux Just A Memory was their last good metal song and since then they have gone more metal pop which is disappointing
They got slash on drums tho 🤣
@@DenialCloudthree Ahh yes, Robert Ortiz. He doesn't have the 'fro anymore.
Forgot how hard this song hits. Great cover dude.
My thoughts exactly
I still don't understand how such a masterpiece ended up in the discography of such a mediocre band. I mean, I dislike 99% of their stuff, but this. This is super cool!
@@JzelMoniK IKR 🔥
@Nesys I know that's right. I still like Ronnie's voice more than Craig's
@@JzelMoniK ETF had some killer instrumentals, some of the best I've heard. Craig and Ronnies vocals were good, but the freaking guitar lines were top notch
no one gonna talk about that eyeroll at 0:31
“My apocalypse” is my favorite Escape The Fate song to play.. good stuff. I haven’t heard this in along time.
Me too
Yes
Nik: I put tabs on the screen so you can learn the song if you want
Me: ...how do you sweep pick again?
Vibe
Feel ya on that one lol
Straight up took me 3 months of nonstop practice in high school just to be below average at sweeping.
It takes so much practice, definitely recommend learning multiple arpeggios and just playing the crap out of them at slow tempos and slowly increase tempo if you can play it perfectly. That helped me
Great advice. Also practicing the blues scale a ton the same way early on can help a lot too, its used a ton in metal believe it or not
Love the ppl who do this especially for tabs from bands who prohibit other ppl from learning their shit on tabs aka Polyphia >.> Look up Polyphia tabs u wont find them, they monetize their tabs on their site lol
" Through the Fire and Flames" lyric comes up.
Nik: starts having ptsd...
This whole album had so many great bops, need to jam today. Bring back mall metalcore 😭
This song slaps! The good ol’ high school days hanging out at the “dark side” 🤣 man... good times. I’ll slapp like just cause you brought some good memories.
I can't believe you covered this, this is the song that make me pick up the guitar. You made me feel amazing man. Nice cover btw.

The song we all didn’t know we were waiting for... an absolute classic!
literally the best ever on yt
This has been my most played song on Spotify for 3 years straight. I'm so happy.
FFS this is the best cover I ever seen. You nailed it bro

Nik moments part ?????
1:19 the fuckin cat
3:09 what a hell is even that?
4:05 Nik shocked
That interlude arpeggio is beautiful.
Bro the cat had me cracking up 🤣🤣👌
The cat growl part had me dying. 😂 That was comedy.
Your playing was phenomenal, too. Haha
Fun fact: Escape the Fate filmed a music video for this song in my hometown in California, and they let all the local fans be in the video. So I'm in the music video, haha. It's not a great video but hey.
what are you smokin to think it’s not a great video because pass it here i wanna try
Ahhh this takes me back.This is ironically the first "heavy" song I ever heard when i was 6 years old, because i was an anime kid back then, and loved to watch amvs. As always, amazing cover nik ❤️
My body was not ready for this.
nik bro this is my fav escape the fate song and i'm randomly browsing ur page and see this i love it
one of the best escape the fate songs!
I've made a screenshot exactly when the cat showed up
hey
The screen tabs are such a nice addition! I can't even play guitar, but having the tabs there as you played were fascinating to watch, also gave a better visual idea for what you are doing.
This kind of sound was peak metalcore and I miss it terribly.
I saw Escape the Fate at Warped Tour 2009. Memories, man. Holy heck. My hair was dyed two different colours lmao
CH0NBRON
Hi Chainbrain!!!
What hair
This song is one of the reasons why metalcore is my favorite genre
One of the best openings for a song
Love it
My literal reaction is identical to part 3:09
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE FOR LIKE AN ETERNITY, AND IT'S FINALLY UP!!!!
AND THIS WAS EXTREMELY WELL DONE SO WORTH THE LONG WAIT!!!
Rolls out of bed, rips monster bowl, shreds like a beast.
Never stop dude!
#LifeGoals 🤘🔥🤘
ah yes, one of those songs only the elite can play
damn looking at those tabs was a nightmare
Been waiting for an etf cover! Such an underrated band!

My favorite ETF song! Love it, great job dude!
6 people disliking this video are the ones who tried but couldn't play the song
way back when ETF used to make sense
@1:19 I almost die 😂💀
I’m not convinced you didn’t just play the actual track (that’s a compliment as to how spot on and bad ass this cover was)
I love that you kill that intro sweep picking. Every time I’ve seen Escape The Fate live when they have played this song the intro is played different than the album.
One of those songs that got me into music, love it!
same! escape the fate was one of the first heavier bands i'd listened to
I requested this song few years back. Glad you did it. Flawless as always.
The god of guitar (: greetings from Turkey
I love u for this fr
This song is legendary!!!
Wow this is flawless. No hesitation on the switches.
That intro sweep was so clean it should be illegal!!
This song was around when I first started playing guitar and always was like one of the hardest imaginable songs to play for me back then... Still is to this day lol
I was watching you go through the pain and struggle of learning this song on twitch😆 So its awesome to see you finally 100% it, nice job dude!🔥🤘
Its nice seeing someone still playing music that I listened to as a teenager. Makes me feel old :/
Just checked out this video to see your face on the solo at 2:58 and I clearly didn't get disappointed. xD
You are the guitarist of all generations. Fear Nik!!
im on lsd right now and that 1.25 playback speed hittin different
The 80s slasher guitar solo...nailed it bro
god! that was the song that got me into guitar playing :D really good work! even after nearly 10 years of playing and self learing i can not play the intro... x)
I am thinking about starting myself but your comment discouraged me quite a bit.
@@maximilianmusterhans4659 hahahaha :D dont let your dreams be dreams :D
That head bang at the end is fkn classic!!😂😂😂 love it!
Wow proud of you for not advertising your Twitch channel *before* the song! Awesome cover and thanks for the tabs!
This is probably the only Escape the Fate song I like and seeing you cover it just brought back a lot of memories. Thanks nic ❤️
Do the aftermath (g3) or ungrateful by escape the fate next
Yes!!!!!! I've been a metalhead for over a decade. Escape the fate was definitely early high school days. I still love and have all their albums. I'm mostly into Technical death metal. Listen to Archspire- Human Mumuration. You can thank me later.
I remember when I thought this was the heaviest song that could possibly be written when I first picked up the guitar.
How far we've come.
Such an awesome song! Hearing this cover just gave me nostalgia.
I dunno how in the world you managed to replicate it this perfectly, but MAD props. Love it. ❤
Yes! I've been waiting for someone to notice this song. Very great job!
Dayum Nik! You literally knocking out all the technical metal songs that blew our minds growing up. You the champ.
Goddamn, that stretch at 2:21… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
going back to the classics with this one, lmao. good stuff
Badass song and throwback to 10 years ago. Liked before even watching the video.
Love the face during the guitar solo
After two years of playing I still have troubles playing those intro arps at full speed, yet you played them so cleanly you put even the studio version to shame! Incredible cover Nick, this song means a LOT to me to say the least :D
there's only one thing in the world that I hate in jealous - Nik guitar skillz
love that guy simultaneously
Man high school memories dude. I've been a metalhead for over a decade. I still love Escape the fate, but I'm more into Technical death metal and dsbm. Escape the Fate's self Titled album is always my favorite album from them.
I've been listening to this song for nearly 15 years and I'm just now realizing that the intro notes leading up to that first solo get faster...
I have been waiting for a high quality cover of this song for so long. NIK DELIVERS!
2:59 épico.
Yo this was fucking awesome. That second solo .. and the. The fake end back into a break down, sick,
dude you're just bringin me back to my teenage years rn
The song that introduced me to metalcore genre
Что текст, что риффы - идеальная песня
Nailed every nuance man.. hit every note.. and facials to boot! Legendary
Holy crap i was not expecting this! Absolute beast of a song! Glad to see it getting some recognition!!
It was really fun to watch the process of you learning the song and then seeing it all come together. You killed the intro and it was awesome to see because of how much shit it gave you.
One of those songs I don’t know if I could ever learn
Just try it bro. Everything else eventually comes. Skill and technique... all is related to your effort. You can :)
You can do it don't quit
Ma boi don't quit. You got this.
Best cover ever!! Keep it up!!🔥
Greetings from 🇧🇷
Was not at all expecting that angry cat
But that's literally what I always called that dive bomb thing with whatever effects he has on it besides reverb. I feel so seen right now
Back in 2011 I was saying this as well
dude tihs is the best guitar intro i ever heard in a song nice cover!!
I remembered their song after a long time by this cover
I'd like to see you take on Escape the Fate - The Aftermath (Guillotine 3). The picking in that song is nuts
This is harder
I was actually planning to cover this since yesterday 😂 I feel the world is telling me to relax while I recover from surgery 😂🙌👍👍 ROCK ON BOYYYY
@FI3NDFATH3R for sure! 🤣
I forgot how hard this song goes. Killed it Nik.
Solo in this song is beast.
i discovered this song a few months ago haha, would love to have known earlier ETF have this tune. They came to my city last year
Absolutely killed it! If I was listening to it without the video I don’t think Id even be able to tell that you’re not Monte 😆
I was waiting for this cover nik.......and you finally did it......wish I got give you a thousands of likes
Great job on this Nik. Especially the solo you nailed that. Like the random metal face clips you threw in and the random cat lol
One of my favorite songs of all time, doesnt get the attention it deserves
I always get the tought that this song isn't as good as I rember it so I come back for a listen and end up realising that it IS that good indeed
You killed it man! This song was such a banger back in the day. Thanks for the throwback man
