Nik Nocturnal performs 500 of the heaviest guitar riffs...you read that right. 500! 🤘🏼

And this particular video, you read that caption right. And he sort of talks about it at the beginning. This is a 500 riff video. It clocks in at just under 2 hours. And Nick spent an ungodly amount of time learning all of these rips from several bands spanning all of the different subgenres of metal and part of rock and roll. And he takes you on this journey that really spans several decades. And he goes from e standard tuning to drop D to drop A. It's insane

Okay, here's my question. I just listened to the YouTube, like, for the, like, 15 minutes. This guy's amazing. The drums in the back of each riff. Did he program the drums for each riff? Or is that something, some kind of trick with his low E note or something where he bangs it percussively. Like, I can't figure out. Please tell me he didn't do the drums for each of those rifts, because that's beyond insane

So I'm really glad you checked it out because this guy deserves the recognition and the love, and he's actually just rejoined semi famous metal band. So hopefully when things open up, he'll be going on tour more, and he'll get his brand out there because he's a really creative guy
