@@cobrastriesand7693 Yeah. You have tons of bands and artists doing the same genre and going for the same sound, so of course it’ll eventually end up becoming a rinse and repeat type of thing
@@cobrastriesand7693 tbf we all know pop is the epitome of generic as that literally what the genre is built on. Every song that’s on the radio follows their trend style for the month/year then switches. Atleast with the other genres you can find other experimentation with a bit of searching.
Hey bro. Just wanted to let you know that you are one of my main influences to play guitar and i just wanted to thank you for being the reason that i play guitar
@@JCaleb well now nobody else can say fist, because you got there before them, so even if you didn’t get likes, you got people who were going to say first to shut up
Nik, I don't know how in the hell you can take the most generic pieces of fluff & make them interesting, but I find these videos highly entertaining (maybe I'm just a bastard & enjoy watching you suffer). Keep 'em coming!
Man, you are f-ckin brilliant. Love your dry wit, and you're an amazing player. What software are you using to "recreate" these songs? Keep up the great videos.
So.. I was here watching Nik's video with my 2yo son by my side playing on his tablet. When the baby shark song starts to play, my son looks at me with a big smile and starts to dance. I laughed and said that it wasn't that video and as the video plays on, he realizes that was metal. The happiness he felt was so overwhelming that I think I might be raising him right. Thanks.
Lmao, I do the same thing when I’m sitting on the couch with the family. I’ll figure out whatever is on TV, from commercials, movies, my wife’s music, my son’s video games, whatever. It’s fun, everyone should try it.
@@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic yeah and it would be bit of a stretch to ask nik to buy something like that i only know two companys who make 9string guitars except legator and custom builders and both the ibanez and the schecter model is over 1000€ here so quite harsh to ask someone to buy that let alone play that
@@MisterPLayFail Yeahh, for sure. Granted, Rings of Saturn didn't use 9 strings until their last album Gidim, and I think that they hardly used the low string on it anyway. Their other guitarist still plays an 8
*I went to the dark side of RUclips... and returned with HEAVY riffs*
Hi nik
holy shit gangnam style but metal actually sounded awesome
they are now all better than the originals
Dang can we get a full of the despacito cover
This was painful to convert pop into metal but at the end of the day we have those heavy riffs ❤️🔥 , salute your skills !
I demand THAT full heavy, metalified Psy's Gangnam style!
It sounded so freaking good hahaha
++++
Please
Came here to also say this
Dude yes!! Was so good
I need it
Alternate title: "depressed guitarist tries to make popular happy songs angry"
"they're all happy... I, I can't dude..." I laughed so hard
What's so happy about generic shit? 😂
It's just play a little fucking loud
I was about to put a like on your comment but the like count is perfect already
“I have a feeling this isn’t gonna have any breakdowns”
On the contrary Nik it’s only breakdown
@joseph ka why did you post this on a song about turning songs into metal
Facts
mental one, yeah
Starting to think Psy might need to collaborate with At the Gates soon.
I need this
Infant annihilator already did this. Check it out!
@@CyclesAreSingularities it’s djunt
I'm more impressed that you have not heard of Baby Shark nor Despacito tbh
Was thinking this
To be fair I haven't heard of Despacito 😂.
The only reason I've heard Despacito is because of Leo's metal version
im honestly certain he was acting, he must be
Haven't heard baby shark but obviously heard the other thing..
Fun fact: Chop Suey has just gotten to 1B views!
So does Nothing Else Matters now!
Can we have more of Nik trying to make sense of children’s cartoons as if logic applies to them? 😆
I'd watch the hell out of that!
They confuse me
that metal version of gangnam style goes hard tho
Y E S

Couldn’t relate more
Lols "I'm starting to think pop songs are generic"😂😂
Nik, I'll take Binary for 3OO Alex😂🍻
That’s hardly fair. I love metal, but it’s not like every great metal song doesn’t sound almost exactly like several
thousand other ones.

Despacito just became an ADTR hit song just like that. Daaamn son
if only the new ADTR songs were like this
Way better than ADTR recent stuff
Holy god why is this so right though hahahaha
I was thinking mid-00s As I Lay Dying
@@johndoseph2496 Valid. I didn't said AILD cus the Despacito riff and song has a "happy" ADTR sound to it and AILD is more dark sounding riffage haha
"the only shape I like are zeros" WHERE A T-SHIRT WITH THAT PHRASE?!!
Same ! I want it ! 😁😁😁
Everything he says, has to be a T-shirt XD
@@tobibender7475 he'll definitely do that eventually
When Despacito came from Latin America, but the Metal riff translator turned it into Amon Amarth: 2:59.
It really is Amon amarthy
Absolutely
Let’s take a minute to appreciate how really talented Nik is
9:08 missed opportunity to say “this isn’t sweet as sugar, this is Stone Sour”
That Shape of You Chord Progression was fire
Nik - “what am I supposed to do with a Russian cartoon.” - Laughs in Slavic Squat
Nik: I have no idea what to do with this???
Also Nik: Fucking slays it.
okay but the uptown funk one was kind of a banger ngl
I was feeling the groove
full cover when
Fr
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@NikNocturnal it'd be sick if it was a riff to a rammstein/oomph! type song
"nothing like hearing this in high school" me realizing I was in high school at the same time as Nik
Hey bro. Just wanted to let you know that you are one of my main influences to play guitar and i just wanted to thank you for being the reason that i play guitar
dude thanks for proving my point that everything just sounds better with a distortion.
Death metal ballad...
Tremolo intensifies
Thanks for not saying first :)

NIK! Not related butttttt Courtney has confirmed a new Spiritbox song is coming on Friday! Please do a reaction bruh!
Oh boy, I'm always so hyped for new Spiritbox.
A new "Mandalorian" episode AND a new Spiritbox?! F😃k yeah, I'm ready for Friday!
Oh are u talking about the girl that opens her mouth and a portal to an alternate universe where everything's on fire opens
Oh shit I'm ready
Also, new Architects dropped this morning. Thank you Metalcore for making lockdown bearable 🙌
I want a whole album of just his riffs over the originals. These are my favorite videos!!
"How many people exist in the world...? A lot!" Nik Nocturnal, 2020 (Great vid, love your content.) 🖤

@@Garou-si5jz to masha and the bear fans hello, everyone else my apologies
I really wanna turn all these riff ideas into full covers! They’re so good!!
Dude that maroon 5 riff was maybe the heaviest thing you've played on this channel
It was amazing
Thank you for your personality, I have been having a rough start to the new year and you have made me laugh so much at 3am seriously thank you
I like how there are at least two metal covers of Shape of you. Our Last Night and Fame on Fire. And those are lit af!
It was very brave of you to make this video. I don't know how you didn't go completely insane.
I was yawning and then the first like “sounds like a ballad let’s add death metal” just killed me🤣🤣🤣
when Nik said "i always say it shouldn't be that bad then i cry a little bit" I FELT THAT.
Entire Early Norwegian Black Metal Scene in 5 minutes
We're still waiting
“I’m sorry that this video exists on internet”
Lol the gamgnam style actually sounded cool
Loved the video man, hope for more of this type of content
Your version of shape of you is so good, please make a full cover, I would to hear it
You should've called this video "turning garbage to gold"it still would've fit most of these songs really well
Yeeaahhh.... I'm gonna need a full version of Despacito ASAP
Maaan. You killed it. Shark song and shape of you riffs are lit af🔥
And the last one worked perfectly😂
You can see it draining the life out of him in real time
I love the waning enthusiasm with every terrible video that Nik is tortured with. You can see the toll this is taking on him.
"ThEy'Re AlL hApPy, I cAn't DuDe"
I felt that 😂😂
Nik, I don't know how in the hell you can take the most generic pieces of fluff & make them interesting, but I find these videos highly entertaining (maybe I'm just a bastard & enjoy watching you suffer). Keep 'em coming!
PLEASE make more videos like this!!! Pop songs "metalified" are awesome. 🤟🤘🤟
4:17 Have to admit I loved your Shape of You version. Banger
Thats it folks... we reached peak SEO with a combination of a top 10 and a "if _____ were metal."
The Shape Of You riff was really amazing
Another vote for a full cover of Gangnam Style! That sounded dope! Do it Nick
You did great with 'Shape of You'
Our Hollow Our Home Killed it too, don't know which I like better.. Love it either way..
Nanowar of Steel - "Norwegian Reggaeton" is basically metal despacito
Just 8 seconds in the video and you got me wheezing until my throat gave up.
I want a full version of Gangnam Style
this feels like when im wearing earphones listening to metal in the car but my sister decides to turn the radio on
Much love from Russia comrade. Your amazing brutalizing job is highly appreciated. Thank you for making things listenable
I'm no Beiber fan, but I would dig a full version of Sorry riffed out and covered like that with some good screams. Nice effort!
Me: *listens to Gangnam style*
Also me: yeah this can be pretty brutal
You know it’s good when the guitar is louder than the vocals
Confirmed: a lot of people living in the world
The only statistic you will ever need
Exactly
The metal gangam style version sounds freakin amazing 🤘 also love your guitar skills you’re awesome
Despacito to an whoooole other level here.. And death metal paradise.. Siick.. 🙏You're talent is just endless.
Easycore Roar is exactly what the internet needed. Bless your heart, good sir.
Gangnam Style metal version is actually a bang lol. Also, "Pop is generic!" - Nik Nocturnal (2020).

I said "bless you" when he sneezed out of habit
"You're like ONE CENTIMETER TALL, and he's A *BEAR*!"
oml i'm dying
Architects have a new song out Black Lungs, in your terms 'Its a Banger'!!
your despicito was a bop man, I really liked that!
Last time I was this late. My step dad was in town.
"You're gonna hear me rock"
This song worked so well
“Death” metal on see you again... oof
“Sonic gotta go fast” ...OOF
"What the fuck is this?! That bear is going to eat you!" that had me in stitches
Nik pretending all these are not on his "my guilty-pleasure" list is cute AF.

Despacito & Gangnam style are actually pretty good in metal !
There is a metal version of Shape of You, by Our Hollow, Our Home.
Ah that one it's been a while but its pretty good version
