The little kid in the window at 2:50 was like " oh shit that's nick barker ! He was the soul and heart of cradle of filth and dimmu borgir back in the day 666. Sheeit here comes my chicken fingers and apple juice "
Haha I love the boy staring at them through the window at 2:57. That little kid had no idea that he was sitting there within 10 feet of a drumming god.
There are many great extreme drummers but no one has the creativity barker puts into the songs and all the drummers that fills the void when he leaves never nails the parts he wrote for each and every song. He is the best because he can do things no one can. He might not be the flashiest or the most technique etc but his drumming stands out and only he can nail those parts. That make him ahead of the pack
Whenever nick drums on any album I get excited.ive never known a drummer to look so relaxed at the tempos he plays with such accuracy and precision.the cradle pandeamoneon DVD really shows what this guy can do and thats 20+ years ago.such a huge inspiration certainly for my drumming.long live Barker.
Crazy, how humble and calm Nick is. Maybe he had smoked some pot before the intrrview... :) Very interesting and surprising to hear about his anxiety attacks.
Thanks for this video, Nicholas is the best. I watch his live video of "Indoctrination" very often, because he's just so good. Really good taste and awesome fills. Nothing over the top. Also so humble it's true. Another quality. Sorry to hear he has panic attacks and stuff, I hope he can get the help he needs. He's awesome!
Bare with me, but I recently watched the Red Letter Media review of the newest Terminator movie, and as a joke Mike (the host?) was bashing his keyboard in a pattern that was from the sorta Terminator “theme”. I quickly realized that the pattern of that Terminator theme was the same as the pattern for the intro of Dimmus’ _Unorthodox Manifesto_ which fuuuuucking slaps, god damn. I think that record came out like 20 years ago or some shit, and I’ve only now realized that it had the Terminator theme as a kinda intro. I applaud you Nick, you’ve inspired hundreds of thousands of musicians across the world.
Nicholas "the machine gun" Barker. One of the best fucking drummer ever. He plays insane speed so smooth like cutting butter with a hot knife. Suck it and shove it Jordison.
Oh so it is called red light fever! Damn, I couldn't figure out why I make these insane fractal based guitar licks and go to record them and I just blank out ...
In my opinion, that dream team would be Nicholas Barker on drums, Galder on lead, Gonde on bass, Anton Reisenegger on rhythm, Mustis on keyboards and Zel on vocals.
He always wanted to be a guitarist?!? I did not know that!!! Nicholas is the best drummer period! All the new drummers do versions of him all over the place. But ironically... I always wanted to be a drummer and ended up being a guitarist, it's more "quiet" than drums (my neighbors thank me)
The fact that Nick fucking Barker has to be a stagehand, just to pay the bills, is what is wrong with the music industry now (with respect to the faithful road crews out there lol)
Thanks for this interview but come on.. the guy tells you about the fact that he uses weed because of anxiety and you choose to ignore it? Such a missed opportunity to really get to know the guy behind the drummer. Instead you just keep asking the same boring questions every interviewer into he musicbizz does; influences and so on. Disappointing!
I mean, he says it himself, he suffers from anxiety and this is showing during the interview. It is indeed a paradox that this calm, even timid person becomes such a beast on the stage.
