Hahah Thank you! I was waiting for someone to comment on the symbols! 🙌 I'm pretty proud of the merch concepts!

Nick is the most "real" guitar KZreadr. He shows a lot of the not so flashy parts of sitting and recording music by yourself and I love it. Watching your videos reminds me of many long nights where I have been at my recording desk trying to nail that 2 minute part. It is not as easy as most people picture it. You are an inspiration man. Gonna be a bit but I hope I can one day make vids like yours. Loving the DT content btw.

To be fair - Pantera’s Domination has the same breakdown at the end haha. But you gotta listen to the whole song to get the full effect. The tension buildup right into it is insane. And it must be played very loud.

That sick mug sitting so close to your mouse has me anxious.

Next thick riff needs to be written with dad! Tell that man you love him back 😂

I wanna write thicc riffs and play spiderman with Nick 😭

Idk if anyone mentioned this yet, but in 94 Meshuggah put out their ep None, 7 string riffs for days!

LOVE THE HAT! HUGE DEAL

Merch looking good

I love Thicc Riff Thursday

Today we are going to Throwback Riff Thrusdaaay, Dream Theater was really ahead of his time on 90's, love you mah Niiib

The merch is spot and tasty, nice! Too bad if I order to my country I’m punished with import tax and VAT, still crunching the numbers though 😂

Thick Riff Dad sounds cool

13:45, yes.. painfully yes haha.

im pretty sure Pantera was doin that shit in 1990. lol listen to Primal Concrete Sledge. EDIT: i guess the whole 7 string thing is unique for 94

Always looking forward thick riff thurdays!

I love Thursdays!

I bought a ps5 just to play Spiderman 2. Now that I've platinumed the game, I'm selling my console. Absolutely worth it.

Also was a high school Pod HD Pro kid, still have it (though the screen is screwed up) and love it unconditionally like a child, even if I've moved on to other amp sims. Also, I wanted to say that blue Keisel with the pick guard hanging on the wall behind you is beautiful

that was the best intro to a video I've ever seen. please don't stop. that was hilarious

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads. My dad is so cool but he never listened to Dream Theater.

Cool dad!

Nick really dripped out in this episode

THERE HE IS for ThiiiicccccccccCCCCCCC Riff Thursday

name's Riff. short for Riffethy and it's Thick Riff Thursday

shoutout dad

Hell yes 🔥🔥🔥 I was just relearning this today. Bet you’re stoked on MP being back.

Damn this is killer! Been planning on doing a cover of Stream of Consciousness since it's got one of my favorite riffs and your video inspired me to finish it haha

My favorite Dream theater riff by far! First heard it on Once in a Live time (acid puppies i think?) and then went on to buy Awake, still my favorite DT Album today :)

sounds sick! your meshuggah comment made me want to look up their early stuff to find when they went low. the selfcaged ep they went to A#/Bb what i saw on wiki was "The Selfcaged EP was recorded in April and May 1994, but its release was delayed to later in 1995 due to the accidents (Thordendal) chopped off part of his middle finger on a router apparently. the more you know lol

Need that sweater in a 3XL v.v

This was quite a thicc thursday indeed..

Bro how you shifting your dad with no "I love you" in the recorded vid 😂😂

New spiderman was super good! They made it even better than the first

Meshuggah's None EP had Aztec Two Step which gives me the same stankface feel. Awake came out a month before but if we take time to mix and master in to account I'd say we can call it a tie :)

That snare sound is niiiice

MERCH

Ha in 1994 Meshuggah released the none ep which was probably even more ridiculous than what Dreamtheater was doing! Absolutely wack how far ahead DT and Meshuggah were in the early-mid 90’s

Haha, sounds siiiick!!!!

Dude, you were happy, that there were CDs back then. We have no CD players here anymore. And my kids are streaming hip-hop. Help! So, your dad is a musician, too? Aw... My hobby is music but I just played 10-15 gigs. And ... yeah was wondering if one of my kids would grab the sticks or a guitar, the keyboard. I have everything here since I got to edrums and MIDI (again) and wooow. But... you know, one should not put pressure on the children and let them live the dreams of the parents! I (43) am a physicist (PhD) and ... this channel should have way more subs and views! Greetings from Germany!

Can we Get some T H A L L (vildhjarta) style thick riffs? maybe a THALL THURSDAY????????

Nice man - still my favorite DT Album I guess. We (I used to play in a Metallica Tribute Band for Years) also jammed on this Track during rehersals & Soundchecks, just like your Dad, simply because the Metric-Modulation is so, so cool. I got one question for you: Any particular reason, so kept Eurobass in your writing template and did not replace it with the Nolly Bass library? I also got both of them so I´m wondering what your thoughts are on how they compare?

@nickbroomhallmusic

8 ай бұрын

The SubMission Audio stuff is a bit more versatile than Nolly since there are more articulations and realistic programming capabilities. Nolly does sound fantastic though!

Hey nick i wanted to ask you about your opinion on what drum libraries you think would be good for shoegaze or " heavy shoegaze " . Artists like whirr , loathe , deftones , and deafheaven.

I’m assuming your dad got you into guitar? So fun

My dad is primarily a drummer so he got me into drums very young but I started learning guitar around 11 years old!

I've had a burning question since the first video of yours that I saw: What do you tune the 8th string to when you're using a 7-string tuning? (drop F# for example) Is it in unison with the 7th string or is it lower?
