This is the best band I found by mistake, I remember searching on TH-cam for a different goblin video, and I saw the thumbnail for no one survives, needless to say I was hooked from the start lol. I'm glad the boys are getting recognized finally
“It was a great experience. Everyone coming together for the goodness of the world and the Goblins”. That’s definitely the summary of this band’s beginnings! Edit: Can we please have John on the JRE podcast?
You guys became one of my favorite bands in the shortest amount of time. Now I just randomly say "goblins" when people ask me "what's up" Then they ask "what?" "GOBLINS. Whatchu know about GOBLINS? They came from space, dud you know that?"
In Seattle, I was in the front and got handed the mic then forgot the lyrics so I just screamed. I carry that shame daily. What a ride it's been since finding that video.
This isn't just an interview - it's an art piece, entertaining from beginning to end. Seriously, every line spoken is great content delivered just the right way!
Im a techno and synth pop guy and I cant get enough. Great to see the roots of John Goblikon and his truly trademark Midwest accent. You guys are great.
NECROGOBLIKON IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME AND WELCOME TO BONKERS IS HANDS DOWN THE MOST BRILLIANT MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS OF ALL TIME. YES I INTEND ON MY CAPS TO BE INTERPRETED AS YELLING. I DON'T NORMALLY TYPE LIKE THIS. Seriously though....
That is extremely accurate statement and I’m glad you mentioned it because welcome the boxes sonically and musically composed in the best way the funny thing is is it they’re not an average metal bin this which I love it they could’ve gone the route like Warren all dressed up and make up but they took the essence of Gwar satire it’s also their musicianship but they’re better musicians in war any of my friends and family that I absolutely don’t like metal will listen to any song from work on the bikers and think it was amazing !
The video still holds up 8 years later... film quality and everything. So awesome stuff yall. I still share this with people. edit: man I'm feeling the ending credit song... that 80s synthpop sound just kills everytime... and look forward to hearing it paired with metal.
Awesome documentary guys! Looking forward to the new album. And hopefully some new episodes of RIGHT NOW with John Goblikon. Also, I like limp bizkit but the jokes are freakin priceless.
For people seeing this 3 years late....watch the movie Bellflower from 2011. It's amazing and may turn you on to independent film if you are not already.
I found nekrogoblikon on soulseek in 2008 and instantly fell in love with all the songs on goblin island. I "became a fan" on their facebook page which, at the time, had around 30 fans. at some point, when they were raising money to buy their van, they put up a sick halo 7 string flying V for sale for 800 bucks and I bought it instantly. I still have it. I consider it a mystical artifact. it is my second most prized possession, right under the first guitar my dad ever built. if my house caught on fire, I would run inside for those two guitars.
I was so stoked to meet nekrogoblikon at warped tour 2018, i wasnt a fan of the line up personally but i went for the soul purpose to see them and didnt even get to see them cause of traffic and such but getting to meet them was so worth it, cant wait to eventually do it again one day!!
Mad respect to the band. i've been listening for a few months now because of a d&d buddy showed me since i like role playing goblins. loved you guys thanks for giving this goblin something to listen to.
When No One survives was first on reddit I spammed the link to all my friends and even called a few people to get them to watch it. I am so glad to have seen them live in montreal and cant wait to see them live and continue to headbang on public transit to their amazing music. Also BEARS!!!
I still remember the day one of my buddies came over and was like "Dude I have the coolest fucking band to show you." He opened up that Myspace page, blasted the fuck out of Goblin Island, and from that day on I've been hooked. You guys are absolutely kick ass! Thank you for being you!
Great video. So informative. Learned more about you guys. Loved you ever since I saw the video for No one survives. Just an amazing song! Killer video. 10 out of 10 on song and video.
You guys are seriously my favorite band of all time. The most amazing music and creative song writing on top of this amazing lore you’ve made just taps all my boxes. I first saw you open up for powerglove at the whiskey and I was blown away and have been down with it ever since. And then when I saw you with alestorm and discovered you got rainbow dragon eyes as your new drummer I was most pleasantly surprised. You most certainly rock it hard. Keep it up guys!!
Tbh for me it hearing Dressed As Goblins the first time. That “Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha!” Instantly hooked me! I had no idea in that moment that they were called Nekrogoblikon but i legit said “my god that sounds exactly how I picture a Goblin to laugh” The rest is history! I’m hooked! Love ya guys John included 🤘🏻🥳🤘🏻
About 6 years ago I stumbled upon Powercore and Bears. Both of those songs were enough to make me listen to your entire discography and I knew I had found one of my favorite bands of all time!
Recently went back to help out at my old job and was stoked to see my Nekrogoblikon sticker is still on my locker from years ago when I saw them with Butcher Babies! Stellar.
I stumbled upon y'all about a year ago and you blew my mind! I absolutely love you guys! The whole goblin thing with his own talk show hooked me even more, I think I watched every episode I could find within a day or two! Please don't stop what y'all are doing, it's so refreshing, fun and unique!
I love you guys, you guys and Sabaton are the ones that got me into metal, I never really could find any music that I enjoy as much. I may have only seen that video about a year and a half ago, but I've gone back and listened to almost your entire discography.
One of the best videos ever! :) Love the band, they have become one of my favorites. They keep getting better with each album. The last album is a masterpiece., so you have a lot of work to do to top that album, but I'm sure you'll do it. Can't wait for the next album.
I showed up late to this party.. I started listing to every song & learning some of yalls riffs (on my 6 tuned to B since yall plat 7s) even watching RIGHT NOW w/ john literally like 2 weeks agoIv'e been on a binge.. really digging those riffs and the melodies behind it..
Hell yeah :) so much respect and love for you guys. Thanks for always being yourselves, having fun and all the hard work you have all put in over the years. We appreciate you.
I'm so happy they've found some success, they definitely deserve it. I'm also happy I was able to see them at one of their smaller shows with "like 20 people." Very down to Earth, just hung out with the fans drinking beers and shooting the shit. Thanks for the great show, guys! Next time I see you, it's going to be in a much larger crowd.
I'm so glad you guys have gotten the recognition you have. We've played a couple of shows together in Orlando, FL over the past few years. You guys have been super chill and super nice. Even catered to our drunk bassist 1 show. (Sorry about that). Keep the metal coming. You guys have blown up, and you ain't done blowing
What a wonderful opportunity to release new stuff, Post name dropped you guys on Rogan and I was like OMG THATS AMAZING and I was so happy new people were going to go look you guys up. Looking forward to new goblin tales!!
Thank you guys so much for supporting us for all these years! More to come very soon...
Dude, you need to do more episodes of the talk show.
@@craigcraig5837 i agree
Please give us more RIGHT NOW episodes
I cant believe I just found you guys a month ago and its all I've been listening to since! Great shit!!!
And we need more, RIGHT NOW!
Ok, hear me out: John Goblikon on Hot Ones.
you mean Cold Ones
I'm in.
Yes!!!
@@xiiivalentine5297 nah, those two aren't really that entertaining
Oh hell ya!!!
"We don't dress up, we're not GWAR"
* goes on tour with GWAR *
* twice *
Never change guys, best fucking band on earth.
He's always liked gwar...ever since the day they played Des Moines
"we didn't fit in... But we had a goblin. " As a RuneScape life long nerd and a metal fan, you guy are a fucking perfect fit. Keep it weird fellas.
str lvl?
After becoming severely insane a few years back, only goblin-based composition can comfort me.
Maybe that's why only John Goblikon can fill me up 🤤
Same. Check out Archspire- Human Mumuration
Anybody who says they're insane isn't insane
you had me at goblin; but forreal te vocals pulled me in. my man got some pipes. cant fucking wait
This is the best band I found by mistake, I remember searching on TH-cam for a different goblin video, and I saw the thumbnail for no one survives, needless to say I was hooked from the start lol. I'm glad the boys are getting recognized finally
the goblin touched me at 2019 heavy mtl and I dont think ill ever get over that. Im feeling #blessed.
#metoo
that was an awesome fucking show
god i wish john goblikon would touch me 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
I LOVE NEKROGOBLIKON
indeed a fucking sweet ass band!
Need more of RIGHT NOW w/ Jon Goblikon!!!!
I check back all the time hoping for more 😂😭
@@JacaboBlancowell guys we got what we wanted lol
@mickgofficial bro.... haven't even checked yet. Just saw this response 4 years later 🤣🤣
Hopefully ur not kidding. Thanks bud
@@mickgofficial you fucking king!!!! I'm hype
@@JacaboBlanco the Santino ep is gold
“It was a great experience. Everyone coming together for the goodness of the world and the Goblins”. That’s definitely the summary of this band’s beginnings!
Edit: Can we please have John on the JRE podcast?
Right now!
Please make a video with Terry Crews playing a bigger goblin relative of John.
That would be epic
John's Cousin, Jimmy Orcatron
YES
Oh shit. That would be amazing
@nekrogoblikon do it
"we dont dress up, were not gwar" lol
You guys became one of my favorite bands in the shortest amount of time. Now I just randomly say "goblins" when people ask me "what's up"
Then they ask "what?"
"GOBLINS. Whatchu know about GOBLINS? They came from space, dud you know that?"
"... and people who hate themselves will love it!"
well, that's true, Fundamental Slimes and Humours is amazing album :D
Are we not going to talk about how Nicky looks exactly like 80’s “Weird Al” Yankovic? Because it’s amazingly great.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
I still believe in Goblins.
I mean there's one in the interview and everything, doesn't take much to believe...
@@PhyrexianPhreak you know that's a quote from one of their songs right?
last year when i went to summerslaughter in LA, I shouted "i love you john goblikon" and he patted my head:)
I'll never forget finding you guys on Myspace
In Seattle, I was in the front and got handed the mic then forgot the lyrics so I just screamed. I carry that shame daily. What a ride it's been since finding that video.
That Fred Durst impression when Gonlin said "yeah" was great lol.
Everything these guys do is top notch. The music videos, the sketches, the jokes and of course the musicianship...everything is on point.
This isn't just an interview - it's an art piece, entertaining from beginning to end. Seriously, every line spoken is great content delivered just the right way!
I'm glad you guys blew up. You fucking rock!!
Im a techno and synth pop guy and I cant get enough. Great to see the roots of John Goblikon and his truly trademark Midwest accent. You guys are great.
I went to high school with John Goblikon. He played Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman. there was not a dry eye in the house.
NECROGOBLIKON IS ONE OF THE TOP TEN GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME AND WELCOME TO BONKERS IS HANDS DOWN THE MOST BRILLIANT MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS OF ALL TIME. YES I INTEND ON MY CAPS TO BE INTERPRETED AS YELLING. I DON'T NORMALLY TYPE LIKE THIS. Seriously though....
I’m just imagining Tourge from borderlands yelling this in my face.

YO, MY DUDE...I GET YOU!
2024, so happy Dickie has joined the band
Now I need a record folks
Dickie said new stuff is coming soon!
RIGHT. NOW.
The video still holds up 8 years later... film quality and everything. So awesome stuff yall. I still share this with people. edit: man I'm feeling the ending credit song... that 80s synthpop sound just kills everytime... and look forward to hearing it paired with metal.
Dave compromise to the character is so endearing :)
YES!!! MAKE AMERICA GOBLIN AGAIN!!!!
Make goblins American again
@@dethbridge8755 gotta get their green card first. *Buh dum tssk!*
Awesome documentary guys!
Looking forward to the new album. And hopefully some new episodes of RIGHT NOW with John Goblikon.
Also, I like limp bizkit but the jokes are freakin priceless.
Yeeah
For people seeing this 3 years late....watch the movie Bellflower from 2011. It's amazing and may turn you on to independent film if you are not already.
Found out about you guys about 6 years ago. Ever since I have I’ve been sharing the hell out of your music. Keep up the great work!
I found nekrogoblikon on soulseek in 2008 and instantly fell in love with all the songs on goblin island. I "became a fan" on their facebook page which, at the time, had around 30 fans. at some point, when they were raising money to buy their van, they put up a sick halo 7 string flying V for sale for 800 bucks and I bought it instantly.

I consider it a mystical artifact. it is my second most prized possession, right under the first guitar my dad ever built. if my house caught on fire, I would run inside for those two guitars.
This was great guys. Would absolutely buy a full length Nekro doc. It's too bad bands don't make them anymore, I was a huge fan of those.
I was so stoked to meet nekrogoblikon at warped tour 2018, i wasnt a fan of the line up personally but i went for the soul purpose to see them and didnt even get to see them cause of traffic and such but getting to meet them was so worth it, cant wait to eventually do it again one day!!
People did need this! I needed this. 💚 You guys
I love how John's like, "I'm not getting all dressed up for this video. Sunglasses should do the trick."
too lazy to put the contacts in... uhm I mean his goblin eyes.
Nah, he had way to many shots the night before at Chili's and the lights were giving him bad hangover headaches.
@@blargcoster Now thats how you live your best life!!
I only discovered you guys within the last year (somehow) but I cannot fucking wait for your next album.
I've been listening to you guys since 2012. By far my favorite band. Thank you.
Mad respect to the band. i've been listening for a few months now because of a d&d buddy showed me since i like role playing goblins.
loved you guys thanks for giving this goblin something to listen to.
Ain't no life like a goblin life.
I was today years old when I discovered John Goblikon was already a Goblin before joining the band.
Found the band 2 years ago. Ever since, my favorite band and listening to em daily.
Keep it up, you godly green lords
When No One survives was first on reddit I spammed the link to all my friends and even called a few people to get them to watch it. I am so glad to have seen them live in montreal and cant wait to see them live and continue to headbang on public transit to their amazing music. Also BEARS!!!
Underrated and underappreciated, thank you for all the fun times and great works of art.
i really cant wait to see you live next year on summer breeze. Im so fucking hyped.
AND ALSO WE NEED MORE MUSIC VIDEOS (and gimmics)
"Welcome to Bonkers" should have been metal album of the year in 2018.
I'm still listening to that album to thus day.
Still the best concert I've ever been to. Such a cool crew and banging music. Keep it coming, guys! \m/
12:22 TIL The Human Abstract's drummer is Nekrogoblikon's manager. Friggin rad.
That's how I got into em hahaha
Recently found out about Nekrogoblikon. I've been listening to this music nonstop and obsessively. LOVE THIS BAND!!!!
I still remember the day one of my buddies came over and was like "Dude I have the coolest fucking band to show you."
He opened up that Myspace page, blasted the fuck out of Goblin Island, and from that day on I've been hooked. You guys are absolutely kick ass! Thank you for being you!

"How much money do you have?" "Less than zero." Daaammn 🤣🤣
I discovered this band 4 years ago and I totally love you guys, you deserve a lot of success. Hope to see you soon in Mexico ♥️
The creativity is pulsing through this band in all the right places.
Tbh for me it hearing Dressed As Goblins the first time. That “Ha Ha Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha Ha!” Instantly hooked me! I had no idea in that moment that they were called Nekrogoblikon but i legit said “my god that sounds exactly how I picture a Goblin to laugh”
The rest is history! I’m hooked! Love ya guys John included 🤘🏻🥳🤘🏻
My fav band since I found about you guys. Thanks for everything.
For many more years of goblins!
About 6 years ago I stumbled upon Powercore and Bears. Both of those songs were enough to make me listen to your entire discography and I knew I had found one of my favorite bands of all time!
Loved seeing the goblin crowd surf at warped tour 2018
I still believe in goblins.
I love that even Cameron of BoO is a fan, dude is a monster on drums and guitar
Found you guys in high school and I'll never stop listening. Honestly my favorite metal band, period.
Awesome documentary! And really excited for the new album! \m/
I was really hoping with the new boost you guys would bring back "right now" with John.
I expected, and prepared myself, to dedicate my next 8 years for constant "no one survives"
It's so important to have people involved that have the charisma and looks to drag people in. Good for everyone!
Recently went back to help out at my old job and was stoked to see my Nekrogoblikon sticker is still on my locker from years ago when I saw them with Butcher Babies! Stellar.

Feels like the next evolution of Gwar, and a legitimate competitor for Dethklok.
One of the best videos ever! :) Love the band, they have become one of my favorites. They keep getting better with each album. The last album is a masterpiece., so you have a lot of work to do to top that album, but I'm sure you'll do it. Can't wait for the next album.
I just found out about you guys like 2 weeks ago, I love it, you are brilliant and amazing
Yes this is great. Love it and sending a bunch a love from Canada.
I can't believe I just found this band and I all I can say is that this band is sick af!
I'm sad that John & the rest of the boys will never have an opportunity for cameos on Metalocalypse.
Hell yeah brothers. Fell in love with the music and decided to look up music videos years ago and boy was I happy. Keep up the Goblin Lord's work.
I showed up late to this party.. I started listing to every song & learning some of yalls riffs (on my 6 tuned to B since yall plat 7s) even watching RIGHT NOW w/ john literally like 2 weeks agoIv'e been on a binge.. really digging those riffs and the melodies behind it..
Get a 7, it's worth it
k.a.m_dh has a 7 a Jackson actually, then stuck with my 6rs after selling it.
@@joereyna614 yeah extended range guitars aren't for everyone, I play a lot of djent stuff so those kind of instruments are right up my alley
k.a.m_dh yeah I have a multi scaled reaper, but most of my stuff is more melodic death metal so I’m good with my 6 strings for now
Been a fan since Goblin Island. Still Remember you guys at the BlackBox in Munich. Still a huge Fan, hope you'll come back to europe soon!
My new favorite band! Awesome!
You're set last night in Orlando was incredible! Keep doing your thing
Hell yeah :) so much respect and love for you guys. Thanks for always being yourselves, having fun and all the hard work you have all put in over the years. We appreciate you.
One of my favorite bands to be honest! The vocals are my favorite well besides the drums
Hell yeah I started listening to y'all in middle school back in '10 and I'm thankful for the decade of metal. Here's to decades more 🍻
I would never sit through a 6 minute ad on a video for anyone else. Ypu guys deserve it though
I'm so happy they've found some success, they definitely deserve it. I'm also happy I was able to see them at one of their smaller shows with "like 20 people." Very down to Earth, just hung out with the fans drinking beers and shooting the shit. Thanks for the great show, guys! Next time I see you, it's going to be in a much larger crowd.
When that song came out, I fell in love. lol
Been my favorite band since.
Learned most of your first album on bass when I was 17
This world NEEDS more episodes of RIGHT NOW!
Total masterpiece!
Just discovered you guys about a month ago, I can't get enough!
Fuck yeah so proud of how far you guys have come. Keep up the epically amazing work. Foaming at the mouth with anticipation for the new album!
Another album? Best news of the year. #NekrogoblikonSaves2020
I'm so glad you guys have gotten the recognition you have. We've played a couple of shows together in Orlando, FL over the past few years. You guys have been super chill and super nice. Even catered to our drunk bassist 1 show. (Sorry about that). Keep the metal coming. You guys have blown up, and you ain't done blowing

I've been waiting for a new Nekrogoblikon video! So glad its here, I'm going to watch it RIGHT NOW!
The band is great but you guys got something with "Right Now" and it should continue. Gob bless Jon Goblikon!
