[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This was one of the first songs that I heard from KSE that got me into the genre as a whole, this entire song is a masterpiece.

[@spiritboxyxbox]

I could have sworn you had grown a handlebar mustache

[@karlmikhailtibule1481]

Hey i can see you watching Davie504 video

[@Aestareth_]

Should give the credit to Dio

[@spiritboxyxbox]

@@Aestareth_ both versions are good in their own right but yea Dio deserves credit

[@jake-rex7861]

@HanzoTheTurtle what? Elaborate

[@airconditioningunit9777]

probably one of the best covers of all time
p.s. “nik covers killswitch engage’s cover of dio’s song holy diver” would be a great title lmao

[@cookitketo3592]

This is a fair comment - and while I will always love RJD and give em all the credit -- Killswitch did this song better than he ever could.

[@vandersonjunior8018]

Now you need to do Holy Diver if it was made in 2021 and the trilogy will be completed
AWESOME PLAYING AS ALWAYS MAN

[@drewharper1891]

Hell yeah, good idea there brother! 🤘

[@markdemars7648]

Paying tribute not only to Killswitch Engage but also for Ronnie James Dio. Rock on forever Dio🤘

[@northwindkey]

Still one of the best covers of a classic Metal song. KSE knocked it out of the park with this.

[@juanmacattivelli8499]

That pinch harmonic always hits the spot

[@dustinplatt6882]

Needs more squels.
The look the Adam D and Joel give each other when they squel battle is adorable.

[@EzPulsy]

The guitar solo is so satisfying

[@xXxGR33NDR3AMSxXx]

This is personally some of my favorite content that you’ve put out. All of it honestly pretty awesome

[@Snake-filledChimp]

This was dope - one of the best metal covers of all time for sure. It's been in my playlist since it dropped in the mid 00's.

[@the_average_canadian]

Dude your tone is *spot-on* and as always, your playing is fantastic.
KSE's version of this song was my introduction to the band and one of the 'gateway songs' that got me into metal as a whole.
Rock on!

[@ChrisPartykaMusic]

This is one of my favorite covers of all time. Nice video!

[@krisztisoadfan]

What a killer solo, and the whole cover is epic, brutal sound! You nailed it!!! :)

[@talonredskye5559]

I remember learning this version of this song years ago, still one of the funnest jams to do. Vibes man.

[@thirteenthandy]

Love that version, great job!

[@NecroG0d]

Your phrasing is on point. This is the best cover of this song I've seen so far.

[@doulostheou777]

Another great cover Nik!

[@Foobymaster1]

Classic cover of a cover.

[@rhym7529]

Dude ! Nice cover Nik !

[@matheuszanetti4475]

This is the best guitar tone of all modern guitar, if not the entire guitar history so far.

[@user-sq2ci9bi5l]

i love your videos dude, putting the tabs on the bottom of the screen is sick and i play along with the video, have learned several songs quick like this! goodshit bro

[@drewharper1891]

Of course, you absolutely slayed this, tone wise and just overall damn good playing. Nicely done, Nik. 🤘

[@temorinkaari]

Damn this guitar tone sounds pretty nice. Would love to see a video of what presets you use and how you make them

[@Zzzlol94]

The ending literally being the ending of This Calling is just the icing.

[@LifeHawkeye]

Nik!!! I was not expecting the solos and fills to be covered (no offense I just wasn’t expecting it lol) and you NAILED them all! Very impressed brother it was perfect. What a great cover by KSE. It’s like chocolate cake…it’s not always your go to food choice but when you do it’s tasty every time.

[@absp2006]

Love how this popped up on my feed as I was assigned to practicing the intro a couple weeks ago, lol.

[@catdsnny]

perfect as always

[@simonhargrove88]

super fun solo to play. one of my favs!

[@alexandrecussiol8827]

Absolute Banger

[@danielleeveringham4244]

Awesome. Great tone.

[@bee1342]

its reminds me of my highschool days. Recently I heard a song called "hybrid theory Tanhayee". They also remind of that time. However, in a really new way that i can't explain. Its very nostalgic to me, so I again started to listen to that kind of music. Thanks Nani brothers for letting me know about another such band who does this type of type of music. I think since you have a similar nostalgia you will fill this "hybrid theory tanhayee" to be very personal to you

[@trapjudas1631]

The edits of your face poking in are fuckin killing me lmao

[@rebecacortesjiron2030]

Nice Cover! ⚡

[@robbiekekoauyeno6473]

You amaze me. What a performance

[@xXxUndead7FoldxXx]

Great song, great cover!

[@joshc148]

Amazing job

[@elijahsegler7343]

The tone is on point holy chitt

[@AsWeBurnOfficial]

Magical

[@zhamoua]

so much respect the talents

[@misforyoutube8452]

Oh wow, no intro - just straight BANGER!

[@bobbyincidemetal]

I like that you move your head with the bends.

[@ianjohnston8057]

Man, it's seriously a breath of fresh air how I can click on one of your videos and it's just right in to ripping on the guitar. No masturbatory intros or anything like that.

[@ronirus]

Roni D.I.O made it history, Howard Jones made it Vocal Phenomenally, and you have made it one of if not the best cover out there .love your work bro keep it up )

[@minkorrh]

I just love that solo. it's got many of the same little 'things' like the solo from No More Tears, but a different genre. It's well thought out, great tone, chunky where it needs to be, not overdoing it, and fits the song to a T. Grrreat!

[@SimonHelling]

So Awesome Solo , Very nice! :)

[@BMuscle]

Respect!

[@32987]

Just listening to this song earlier❤ love killswitch! Haha nice playing sir❤🔥🤘

[@harrysteedparry3773]

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Best cover of all time

[@soulesshvn7633]

HELL YEAH!!!

[@Koggelxander]

Thanks for always reminding me to stay hydrated Nick.

[@WalruzMedia]

Damn.. I have to learn this. Thanks for adding tabs. ;)

[@ChocolateCakea7x]

Everytime Nik covers another KSE song, I feel my heart skip a beat.

[@saintnickyjk3936]

That’s crazy how the putto to this sounds like this calling by all that remains lol love it bro I’m gonna learn this one next thanks for playing awesome and providing tabs dude keep it up 🎉❤🔥👍🏻☀️

[@marionar1974]

[@snapascrew]

Great jobbbb!!! Gotta pull those squeals way harder tho lol

[@calamity075]

Yes boii

[@ned9542]

Such a good cover of a classic song, one of the first songs from Killswitch that I discovered

[@biscuit715]

The KSE cover was one of the first songs that got me into heavier stuff

[@thegreenembers]

Nice cover of a cover

[@chesterflorido1426]

I dont how long itd take but ill make sure to learn this masterpiece!

[@gamingnguitar4527]

What a coincidence I was just watching your cover of in due time by them! Would you consider doing an updated vid for that? I love the solo in that song

[@dalipadilla3508]

Nicee

[@ThatXboxGuy60]

rest in peace ronnie, your influence knows no bounds

[@younged92]

This song is going to be difficult but so much fun to learn ❤😊

[@mehdiida5459]

RIP Dio 💔 great remake ⚡

[@5hinydrums]

This song is so much fun to play on drums

[@The3leggedhusky]

This song is just fun as hell in general.

[@TheRedrider05]

Damnit! So close!

[@nitroswmmer1146]

This was awesome! You should do a cover of “I Am the Arsonist” by Silverstein. I feel like you could have some fun with that one!

[@JIGWIGPIG]

Siiiiiieck

[@Celtsfan1988]

Part of the reason as daylight dies is my favorite album

[@craigfoster2954]

I thought I'd come and watch this thinking nik makes it look easy I'm sure I can do that too...not. Amazing cover

[@BobRocksGuitar]

Phew, thanks for verifying in the title that it was you Nik, I was worried there for a sec xD

[@austine3510]

Would love to see a "Always searching - If I Were You" cover or reaction from you that would be sick!

[@thomasmaier7053]

The fucking diving thumbnail, I'm dying

[@calebgleason5223]

Do I dare say that this version of Holy Diver is by far my favorite?

[@Johann64]

😐

[@sbeqstion]

Fax

[@ashim0715]

For guitar ye
But every other nothin beats original

[@doronbroitman26]

Nice cover man!
Can you do a cover of the stage with tabs?

[@jedimastergarcia87]

Nice. More Killswitch is needed, forgot how good they were :P

[@stgsoullore]

[@kumachi_]

Dawg you've gotta do Popular Monster

[@tbakedalot4751]

Fuckin killer!

[@pigsinspace9927]

I just realized that Niks profile picture looks a lot like the Disturbed Immortalized album art

[@alexandertorrente198]

I like the covers music vid lmao

[@LoganAndrewOnline]

Any chance you would do a few videos on your PC/Recording set up, rig run downs, how you approach recording, filming etc?

[@treymartin6466]

Dem pinch harmonics dough… tasty
