I’m so eternally grateful you pulled through this surgery. You’re an absolutely incredible and thoughtful person. You’ve opened me and broadened my scope to so many bands and genres over the past decade. Thank you for all you do man. The metal community would never be the same without you
I can see in your eyes how painful it is to talk about all this. I’m glad you’re still here and happy birthday! Just be thankful that you still have breath in your lungs and that you have a group of people out there who appreciate you. I know it must be scary. Chin up and keep moving forward. 🤘
Dude, as a MD and emergency physician in my every day life, I can honestly say you were lucky that you survived! An aortic dissection is actually on on of the emergencies I'm most afraid of, as it is very easy to miss and can kill in a very short amount of time. In fact, depending on the severity, it can be a death sentence for a patient if you misinterprete the symptoms and go to the wrong hospital. Keep strong, enjoy life and take care of yourself!
Dude I don't know how but I just came across this video. I have Marfan Syndrome and I've been postponing seeing my cardiologist, not even sure why, yet I've been thinking a lot about this kind of scenario and I guess I'm just terrified. Thank you for sharing this and, I'll do something about this. I want to prevent or prepare. Thank you, really.
Man, I didn't expect a video from you on this platform anymore. It feels like years have passed, Most been so much worse for you. You were lucky, it could have easily been your last days. You've inspired many when it comes to metal music, I think maybe you might inspired me in health. I'm not much younger than you. Remember: every positive comment is a person who cares. We wish you nothing but good things.
I was scared shitless following Ms CKN's posts during that time. I am so thankful you are still here with us! Happy Birthday, Man! If you ever need anything from me, never hesitate to reach out! Love You Bro!
My mom had heart failure they saved her luckily she is home and feeling better. I'm worried I might have heart failure because of all the food I eat I'm going to go on a diet. I quit drinking energy drinks for the sake of my health.
My man: wish you go well and live with full force! Have a fast recovery -physical and mental! Aortic dissection is one of the most lethal diseases in case of vessels/cardio diagnosis even more than for example heart attack- i think you're lucky having opportunity to share your story after all! People usually dying immediately of that stuff!
I've honestly never heard of that happening to anyone before, must have been a very frightening experience. Glad to see that you made it through and happy birthday.
Ghost Rider, CKN, and Metal!!! I've been a metalhead for 12 years, and Ckn was there in the beginning of my journey. I watched Ghost Rider all the time, and listen to metal. Nothing changed. 😁 Great username.
@@ghostrider1205 Nice. I'm a keyboardist. I've been playing keyboard for 13 years. I play goth metal, black metal and death metal Edit: I'm 26 lol so I was born in 1995
dude, I found your channel while I still in highschool over 10 years ago and listening to mostly Megadeth. Discovered Opeth randomly and to me, at the time, you were the only person who really dove deep into the band. I went on to discover more music through your channel. Most of my favorite bands came from your reviews and I will forever be thankful. I am glad the surgery went well and I truly wish you the very best. Take care Mr. CKN
I was only thinking of the first time I saw your channel when I was getting into Anthrax roughly 8/9 years ago! Holy crap! Your channel was really important for my metal, musical and general evolution.
I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a TH-cam video, but I just want to say that I’m very happy to hear that you’re okay. I’ve been watching your videos for some years now and I always respected your opinion on music. You always had a very open-minded way to you which I thought was really cool. I know it’s been some time since you made this video, but I hope you’re doing well with your physical and mental health. Take care.
I'm praying for you. You're a wonderful, humble guy, and you shaped a lot of my musical taste a couple of years ago. I want you to be as happy, as you were back then. Love you
I remember you posting on Twitter about your surgery. I’m so glad it went okay for you and I wish you the best of luck for the next round. Stay strong, man. I’ve loved your reviews and rants since roughly 2013/2014. I was in middle school.
You introduced me to this whole genre and specifically to my favorite band of all time (ne obliviscaris). I would have never gotten into guitar or expanded my interest in music had I not seen your channel so many years ago. I hope you make it out alright. You deserve a better life.
Im really glad you are doing well now brother! You went through a lot. My father 2 years ago had a major open heart surgery himself. His all three arteries were blocked because of high sugar levels that calcified his arteries and luckyly his secondary arteries were working well so he had pneumonia and that had to be cured before surgery so it went on for few months before surgery and all. Anyways. Im very happy to see your video again. You are one of the most genuine TH-camr and I really missed your videos. Glad to hear from you CKN and Warm regards.
CKN Ive seen that chest before. Thats the same look that my late mother had after her surgery. This was well before she died. Happy Birthday CKN and my advice to you is split it up. Make the first one only 30 minutes. If that works out OK make the next one a little longer and so forth.
@@markpalavosvrahotes5575 My grandpa used to smoke one night he had a episode with his heart the doctors told him to quit smoking so to quell the craving he started baking chocolate turtles
Eventhough i am not so much dedicated to metal music as most of the ppl here and, of course, you, i wanted to thank you for your work. You opened my musical horizons bro!!! Stay healthy and wish you all the best Greetings from Athens Greece
I discovered and fell in love with your channel right around the time of your retirement, so I spent most of 2020 and this year going back through old videos. To say your old content has been a highlight of my last 18 months would be a massive understatement. Your reviews and list videos have legitimately helped expand my taste in music and have led to me discovering what are now some of my all time favorite albums and bands. I'm incredibly torn up to hear that you've had such a rough time over the past few months and I wish you nothing but the best and speediest road to a full recovery. I probably can't make the stream on due to work, but I'll absolutely be watching it after! I'd love to see some of those unedited videos too. Any CKN content is good CKN content
Hope you're doing better. Grew up watching your videos. Was pretty shocked when I saw the video. Watching it hit hard as my father's side of the family has aorta problems. 3 uncles and my grandfather passed away due to them breaking. Wish you an good recovery
For those wondering, he has an Instagram and post a bit more active on that. He is not dead, but he did say he has retired from his ckn youtube account. So he is doing ok! Maybe he will make a video one day in the future.
So great to see you after so long man .... Please take care man ... Missed you a lot ... the Heavy Metal community isn't the same without you man ... Sending positive vibes towards you ... Hoping for a speedy recovery. See you soon. Love from India. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Onwards and upwards mate! I recently had a big surgery too and I’m still struggling to get back to where I was before but can’t give up. Love from Scotland!
That was kind of...shocking at least man...i've watched your videos so many times and i like you so much. your metal taste seems very close to what i call 'my metal guy that gets it!' all the best, hope you only get better.cheers from central Greece
Missed you! Hope your doing well 🤘

Hey CKN, been a fan for years, silent majority type. Love you man, praying for your health and family. God bless you man, and be free.
Good to see you're doing alright. Hope the next surgery goes smoothly.
Best of health. Glad you’re still here. Rock on. 🤘🏻
I've honestly never heard of that happening to anyone before, must have been a very frightening experience. Glad to see that you made it through and happy birthday.
I’m so glad you are surviving. God Bless & we’ve missed you.
Good to see you back! Alive and kicking 💪
I’ve been wondering for awhile where you’ve been and what’s happened, hoping you can get back on track soon and the best of wishes to you!
