Wait, where's the memey opening and the dududududududh dududududududh dududududududh rerenerenerenerner? But this is pretty cool to see where one of my favorite guitarists started.
So hyped to see the man here, Nik has been killing it on TH-cam and Termina is a sick project. Good call on getting him Loudwire! I think a lot of us can relate to his choices here too hahah 🤘
Honestly want more of this, we need more guitar YTers doing these types of videos, they're a major part of the guitar community right now so it makes no sense to not have them as a part of your guests. Great video! :)
My lifestyle and music background growing up is exactly the same, Sweet Child O Mine really got my into guitar, discovered heavy metal through friends at school, played WoW when i wasnt on guitar, played and still do to this day AILD riffs and My Curse, only difference is iv been playing for 13 years now and still cant do pinch harmonics for shit. Hats of to you good sir
Interesting that you grew up on some pretty light stuff, my dad supplied me with slayer and metallica, two TOOL albums and two SOAD albums by the time i was 8-9 years old maybe younger, then some other lighter bands that i still love to this day. SOAD is my fave band
like how we played the same song at first.... avenged sevenfold unholy confession was the first song my friend thaught me.... i only had my guitar for 2 days when i started learning it
through struggle and my curse were both my introduction to metalcore when i was a kid the first time i picked i guitar, i skept everything and went straight to learning them
Oh wow, never expected that the legend Nik himself would show up on Loudwire. This is great! By the way, am I wrong to laugh when Nik tries his hardest not to meme?
Dude I relate to this so hard. Most of my love of music stemmed from guitar hero and need for speed, and unholy confessions is to this day one of favs, sadly I only started playing a year or 2 ago but your a massive inspiration dude love your work
Very cool video, interesting to learn of other guitarists early inspirations and musical ideas that caught their attention. I started playing exclusively on an acoustic and focused a fair bit on the kind of 'Mel Bay' book approach and learning a bit of basic fingerstyle playing. However, one day a family friend put me onto Joe Satriani via the 'Dreaming #11' EP and the 'Time Machine' album. Suddenly I heard Satriani's 'Hordes of Locusts' and almost every moment of track was amazing to me. It was heavy (by my standard at the time!), it was full of energy and technique that I was completely unfamiliar with. Joe was getting tones and sounds out of his electric that was so unfamiliar to me at the time.... his control over artificial and pinched harmonics and his squeals and dives, his whammy bar work, the middle-eastern tonality of the piece, the legato lines that covered so much fretboard territory so quickly .... it was a moment for me. Not long after 'Hordes of Locusts', I got Satriani's 'The Extremist' album and then the track 'War' came on... I don't know if it's the middle-eastern tonalities, but whatever it was, War was just so awesome to me. I didn't realise until much later (on getting the tab book) that War was recorded with the instruments tuned half a step down. It's a relatively simple tuning adjustment but it makes a heck of a difference to the 'attitude' of 'War'. I remember being so excited by Satriani's solo in 'War', he starts off with a pentatonic, bluesy run and then exploits the massive drive and pulse of the music as he builds intensity and does a whammy bar slamming trick that reminded me so much of some sort of 'Ghostbusters' theme song! 'War' was a HUGE influence on my playing, no question.
Those were the exact order I learned songs except smoke on the water. People thought I was so good when I played unholy confessions when it’s really easy
Thanks for having me! Excited for the hate comments
I hate you, Nik.
Niki AND the 000100101010101011001010110 where Is It 😔😔

Seeing Nik not on his channel: *_confused screaming_*
Same bro
Agreed
Also seeing Nik on his own channel: _confused screaming_
*VISIBLE CONFUSION*
I love the fact that he introduces himself as part of Termina, despite being much larger than the band as an individual
Termina has been so good, I’d love to see the two of them keep pushing it
Loudwire is a band channel so it makes sense.
It's good marketing to further grow his bands following
He's just humble
I like the trend this is setting. You've gotta get Kmac in there.
vote for Kmac!

"You want some riffs hmmmm?" *eyebrow waggle*

Straight to the point as always.

been following Nik for 3 or 4 years, he is the reference for metal guitarrists on youtube

Actually it is:
Nik Nocturnal Cover
Band releases song.
Guitar Hero deserves more credit for introducing so many kids to so much awesome music!
First song I ever learned was My Own Summer (Shove It) lol. It's super easy and it slaps.
part of that Lucid riff reminds me of the solo breakdown in God Damn by A7X
"you can blame my love for modern heavy music on this one song [unholy confessions]" me too!
This guy has covered nearly all the newly released metal a song comes he covers
Wait, where's the memey opening and the dududududududh dududududududh dududududududh rerenerenerenerner?
But this is pretty cool to see where one of my favorite guitarists started.
1:05 "Did you come up with that cord, bro? Play something else, bro."
I didn’t know John Mayer was a metalhead!
Unholy Confessions was the first song I learned on guitar as well and I was hooked
Going to school, playing WoW, listening to metal and wanting to play guitar. I knew there was a reason for subscribing to your channel.
Ahh he matched his eyeshadow with T-shirt. Bless.
"Nik Nocturnal talks about everything we have all gone through as guitarists"
First song I ever learned was Under A Godless Sky by Rose Funeral. Then I jumped into In Dying Days by As Blood Runs Black
Nik play Slav riff very hevvy
Avenged really brought my guitar playing to new level
So hyped to see the man here, Nik has been killing it on TH-cam and Termina is a sick project. Good call on getting him Loudwire! I think a lot of us can relate to his choices here too hahah 🤘

Holy shit Nik Nocturnal?! I’m really glad you guys are having you tubers do this now
Glad I’m not the only one who picked up guitar almost exclusively because of Guitar hero II & III back in the day lmao🤘🏼
Man unholy confessions was the song that got me into metalcore still remember watching it for the first time on head bangers ball
Loud wire fr being pretty nice for including youtubers in their Interviews
Can we get a drum one. I am a little biased because I am a drummer haha.
theres actually one with slayer's paul bostaph
@ Nate Warner
Yep I saw that one 😊.
I want them to do Lars ulrich or maybe Charlie Benante. Maybe even Mike Portnoy.
We could get Krimh or 66Samus

Switched to the seven string for the Shameless plug, I think I'll stick with my six hahaha.... glad to see being recognized :-)
Unholy Confessions did it for me too bro. It was the start of that style for me and then i became a drop C junkie afterwards. Stuff like AILD and ABR
