Heaviest Breakdowns: Drop A# 

*Is br00tal dood*

In Slavic voice: it’s never to late for breakdowns

Nik used Mr Highway without using the line... That was highest level of surrounding disrespect I have seen yet

The entirety of dethrone is one long ass breakdown.

0:12 Wage war - Hollow 0:27 Vulvodynia - Forced Fecal Ingestion 0:43 Silent Planet - Darkstand (Hibakusha) 1:00 Crystal Lake - Twisted Fate 1:11 Erra - Rebirth 1:22 Motionless in White - Thoughts and Prayers 1:42 Emmure - When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong 1:56 Bad Omens - Dethrone 2:09 I prevail - Gasoline 2:22 Fit For A King - Keep Me Alive 2:39 The Acacia Strain - Brown Noise 2:53 Bury Tomorrow - Sceptres 3:05 Shadow Of Intent - Underneath A Sullen Moon 3:20 Issues - Hooligans 3:37 The Word Alive - Room 126 3:49 A Day To Remember - Mr. Highway's.... 4:03 Bury Your Dead - Top Gun 4:23 Phinehas - Hell Below 4:37 Beartooth - Burnout 4:46 BMTH - Diamonds Aren't Forever 5:00 Job For A Cowboy - Coalescing Prophecy 5:14 Parkway Drive - Karma 5:29 Get Scared - Buried Alive 5:41 So It Begins - Iremia 5:53 Miss May I - Hey Mister 6:05 Woe is Me - Vengeance 6:18 Like Moths To Flames - You'll Burn 6:36 The Ghost Inside - Make or Break

Erra's Augment album was a masterpiece

Nik: *using 10-52 for Drop A#* Me: *using 10-52 for Drop D* Me: uh oh

nik.... my girl left me man. your videos are helping me through these times. thank you. continue rocking bro

Still remember when you entered the competition on Jared Dines channel back in the day, your channel has grown so much since then. Keep shredding bro

4:46 Ah yes, the classic metalcore headbang

Diamonds Aren't Forever will forever be that very iconic Drop A# breakdown for me.

Forced Fecal Ingestion, hmmm, now that's a title for a song if I have ever heard one. 😂

Heaviest breakdown is not complete without Nik headbanging

I went from wanting to sleep to moshing in my room

damn so nostalgic to see The World Alive, get scared, like moth in Flame, and Woe is me.... I bet the kids who just got into metal doesn't know about them

I love seeing the deep cuts make it on here! Anyone could expect "Mr. Highway" but seeing "Room 126" is great

Top heaviest Ukulele breakdowns

The Rebirth tapping doesn’t look too difficult but I never realized it was that fast!

After hearing you play Darkstrand, I went and listened to the song for the first time. Nik, you may very well have just created a new Silent Planet fan. Thank you man

So it begins 🤘🏼

Me at the beginning of the video: If there's no Silent Planet imma be mad Nik: gotchu fam

the transison of the 2 song riffs you played (CRYSTAL LAKE - Twisted Fathe) And (ERRA - Rebirth) made it alsmost sound like a full song part together

I love when A Day to Remember gets on these lists. If only they’d RELEASE THAT GODDAMN ALBUM WE’VE BEEN WAITING A YEAR FOR

To upload at midnight, you really deserve the "nocturnal" in your name

I discover so many bands through you and your content Nik. Keep it coming ❤️🤘

Jo Nik, got a filthy one for you for a reaction: Distant - Oedipism

Me: Nik why are you posting at 12:30am?? Also me: *watches video, likes. Then sleeps*

I love drop A#, it's one of my favorite tunings.

I think Crystal Lake owes Parkway some royalties for that breakdown...

Fun Fact: When keeping it real goes wrong was actually the name of a Dave Chappelle show skit.

One of my favourite breakdowns ever: Wretched - Cimmerian Shamballa. You just inspired me to listen to that again :D

It had OG BMTH therefore I am happy.

Thoughts and Prayers slaps hard

Dude rebirth is one of my favorite tracks to play

5:40 It's sad that "So It Begins" is so underrated band. IMPERIUM is masterpiece.

Love the video Nik. Btw, ever heard of Fail Emotions and Fatal FE? You should do covers of their songs from any of their albums including Transfornation

That breakdown i Karma is so fucking good

underrated tuning

Now I want to go listen to some old school The Word Alive 🤘🏻

5:30 OMG YES GET SCARED!!!

I've watched this a bunch of times and I still get nervous that there won't be any the ghost inside.

Yes. My favorite tuning. Much appreciate.

holy shit that erra part was gorgeous

I think it would be cool if you did a breakdowns vid, but the breakdowns weren't all centered around chugs (a good example would be the one from Tesseract's Concealing Fate Part II). You could even included heavy parts that are like breakdowns such as the middle section from Mastodon's Megalodon, or the section from Disturbed's Criminal. Even closed hi-hat parts could count as well. I'm sure you's be able to come up with a sick list either way!

Quite a few Atlanta bands in here, I am pleased

The future of metal is in good hands (IMHO). Thanks for guiding the flock to these absolute heaters!

Favorite tuning ever,

I always appreciate when you throw job for a cowboy in these

First time I've seen Nik put Get Scared or Like Moths To Flame's on a list. I'm glad he finally did it they're great

ahhh good ol drop A shap my favorite low tuning hand down!

I always do this I go on yt right before I sleep and then I find stuff to watch and stay up for an extra 2 hours

You did it well 👍

Thank you for doing old BYD and TAS!

my man put this video out so fast

Yessir! All very good choices in songs as always Nik

That's a real nice rig you got there Nik

Crystal Lake is so underrated, yeeaaaaaaah boooooooooooooi Every time you post a video like this my Spotify recently played section picks up a lot of new faces.

Your tapping looks awesome 🤘💥👍

Fucking Yes! Thank you for acknowledging WIM

How you play in drop A# with 10-52s is beyond me but great video as always!

Thank you for making my night, I really needed this :)

Happy to see crystal lake

This list rulessss🤘🤘🤘

0:25 BRING IT!

How'Bout the Brown Note?LOLS NIK YOUR F'N AWSOME BROTHA Much Love From Louisiana Salt Nation.

@3:36 Hit us with some World Alive, @4:59 Job for a cowboy, and @5:14 Parkway Drive.... CRUSHING!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Dooooode i wish you would do that hell below tune honestly that tune is criminally underrated

So stoked to see that Vulvodynia in here. South African metal. Go get some!!!!

I'm actually running out of original things to comment. This was good tho.

I cant wait for telephone pole cable tuning heaviest breakdowns

Keep Me Alive and Sceptres... Both SUPER underrated songs from huge names in the modern metalcore world

Vulvodynia made it here😁 finally south African metal is making waves

That lower e string is getting absolutely annihilated

Underneath A Sullen Moon is heavy but the best breakdown in that album is the tempo change + breakdown at 3:20 in Barren & Breathless Macrocosm. Unstoppable

Thoughts And Prayers is fucking sick!

me:he better put motionless in white *nik playing thoughts and prayers* me:F*** YEAH

Glad to see silent planet makes the list. They got some real mosh friendly break downs for sure.

Nice guitar bro!!

Acacia strain 🤘 Add some SikTh and some Kublai khan tx

I Prevail - Gasoline, is one of the best pump up songs ever. Gets me going everytime 💪✊

Ahhh classic Nik. What's not to love?

Bruh rebirth is one of the best songs ever written. ERRA are literally so ahead of their time it’s ridiculous. Can’t recommend their older stuff enough. Much love

That transition from Crystal Lake to Erra tho...🔥

I loved the Phinehas!!!

Never saw a vulvodynia song in one of your videos. Nice

Where is BREAKING BENJAMIN "Ember" album? It's all made in A# like Psycho, Red Cold River 😢

God I love silent planet so much!

An Eye For An Eye is a masterpiece!

I enjoyed my morning coffee thanks to you

Mmmmmm, as I am ever a stickler for technicality, I just wanted to say that Hell Below is actually in C and that ending breakdown is played with an inverted A# (202 on CGC). Nonetheless, fantastic video. It's fun having just one long breakdown!

"I think these are all breakdowns I don't know." Dethrone and Gasoline coming right after my statement and Diamonds Aren't Forever and Buried Alive joining somewhere near the middle/end. "Oh hell yeah..."

Best tunning ever

the second I saw the tuning, I came for Dethrone, was not disappointed! :D

Imagine having Nik in your band...lol. Knows every cover to every metal song... ever.

Wow, that is fucking heavy

Crystal Lake's sounded like Parkway Drive's Mutiny intro.

If i don’r see Bring me the horizon and A day to remember I might cry Edit: I’m very happy

Nik you don't understand how happy I was to see Get Scared in this video ❤❤

sick af

Nik's videos are some of the few I automatically hit like for before even watching... Why? It's Brootal dood \m/
