@@NickShinzany news you can share on cephalic ? I miss my rocky mountain hydro grind. Not to take away from NP3 tho. That shit has been on rotation since it's release last year and super enjoying the new stuff. I really hope you can convince the leaders to take time from their busy schedules ruling the world to tour.
Geoffrey Touton They’re still a band, and they’re still active, according to numerous sites and sources. There’s an interview with John Merryman, longtime drummer, who confirms he’s still in the band, and they were at that point STILL working on the new album. You want my real two cents? Think long and hard on what I say, then read the lyrics, and think about what I said again. In my opinion, Cephalic got slapped with a ten year “no creative works” order. A creative cease and desist, if you will. I feel like they dropped so many truth-bombs on that album, talking about drug use, holographic reality, Jesus’ reincarnation and what it means, Abraxas/Cthulhu, UFOs, and the finer details of equestrianism.
I really appreciate people that answers some many comments, cause you can give a huge help to ppl, the other cool bassists on youtube doesn't give a shit, thanks man :)
Damn man, just damn. This song really drives me to continue playing the bass. I've been playing for awhile now, and when I saw Cephalic live, I realized that the bass playing is easily the best in the world of metal! Keep on rockin man!
Man that was out of this world! Great to see a bass guitarist in a heavy band with so much groove and feel. And that's the first time I see a metal bass player employ a Wooten-style thumb technique for the fast parts.
So neat mate, loving Warwick and Aguilar solution. I’ve been trying to find some CC updating but it’s been a bit hard, always enjoying old stuff tho as ever. I’d really appreciate if you can shuck any update of it..and Cheers for Cephalic🍺🥴
fuck this is some sick shit. Ive been playing bass for 17 years and I don't think I could play this. One of my all time favorite bands, every musician in this group is the best at what they do.
Wow, amazing, a bassist that plays metal and still uses both sets of his fingers and incorporates such detail to make the bass lines sound like they do. Super excited to see you guys on Summer Slaughter! Even moar excited to possibly PLAY with you guys!
Nick, you should do more videos, tutorials, online courses and so on.. It's for you to share your mastery. I was really impressed after listening to NP3 compositions. The first album is a masterpiece!
Amazing. That fuckin' fart @1:21 made me wake up the neighbors with hearty laughter. Kudos, Nick. This was both inspirational (even though I don't play bass anymore), and highly entertaining.
Awesome video(Ohrwurm) though I had watched it before. I also didn't know u played a Thumb NT. The Bass sounds even more fantastic here watching you play. Excellent work, Nick
@FleshStarvingBass Thanks a lot for using me and him in the same sentence! He was probably my single biggest influence to start playing bass. L.D.50 was some of the greatest bass work in metal/rock in my opinion. Haven't met him yet, but I'm going to NAMM in January so hopefully then. Cheers man!
I love the fact how you look so relaxed when playing this while I throw my bass out the window because I can't play a song 10 times easier. =[ Nice job though, sounds awesomeee.
Your fucking awesome dude. I saw you play with CC back when you toured with JFAC and the Ocean. I had never heard of cephalic carnage but I heard you test your sound with a little primus (pretty sure it was primus) diddy and I knew you guys were going to take the cake. I've been a huge fan ever since especially since five minutes ago when I just figured out your the guy responsible for all of the amazing bass tones we've been getting from job for a cowboy too so really just mad thanks and appreciation for what your bringing to the metal community through and through!
@Bassfordays that would be in about 3 years? haha LOL but amazingly this vid inspired me to pursue the double thumb and now it's showing coz i can at least incorporate it now in our compos have to clean it up a lot more though thanks man !! hoping for more videos -from philippines
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Wow, I love your work everywhere I find it. Im also a bass player, tho armless lol play with my feet. JFAC Doom made me go into this ultima-heavy genre. Such great musicians! That goes also ofc to Carnage! -Drake* (Drah keh)
you are literally on my top 5 list favorite bass players of all time and i only wish i had tabs to play this :/ i learned endless cycle of violence by watching you but this is too much..sad times
@Bassfordays I would love to watch the video of you describing how to play this (because I've never been able to grasp double thumb or sweeping technique with a 6 string bass and that's the only thing I have). however, you only have 3 videos uploaded and I have seen them all. I can not find the one you are talking about.
@Bassfordays oh for sure they can have a time and place, and yes bout losing 'em! Still hand picking I suppose I prefer it to the actual picking sound, especially for fast passages. When you going to post up another video?
That was an epic show by the way, seeing you guys from side stage was badass. I hope we get to play together again. ps as soon as I get the pic of me and you off my gf's phone I will photoshop a giant sandwhich in there. haha.
@Sm3tana these were SITs, custom gauge set. .40 .60 .80 .100 .120 But I'll shift all the way up to .45 .65 .85 .105 .135 Kinda depends on the weather. ha
(continued) I'd really appreciate your help, i'm almost ready to do a cover of the whole thing and i want to do it right. So yeah, even if you don't wanna tell me, thanks anyway for posting this since it gave me the motivation to learn proper slapping in the first place.
@poopman22321 You do know that music, especially metal, consists of structured riffs right? Nick holds it down and makes rhythmic bass much more exciting.
Hey Nick, i've been working on this song for a lot of time and i believe i've figured it almost all out, and after months of practice i can finally play the whole thing in a non-insulting way. However i can't for the life of me figure out one thing in the opening arpeggio, that is if when you go on the lower octave (12fret of E) you pluck the four notes going down first (as in proper slapping) or if using the thumb as a pick like in the verse, so going up first. (continues)
@Gravatrax101 Glad you dig this. Yup playing with JFAC now too. Check out Gloom, thats me playing on it. I personally think its some straight up sick tech death, but just my opinion of course.
@Eukatheude Thanks a lot man! I know it's a pain tabbing that shiz oot. Eventually wanted to have a tab book of some of my songs though so maybe I'll get to it here ...
@Bassfordays out of curiousity, how long have you been playing bass for? your technique is amazing! also your tone and everything is absolute perfect! :)
im trying to convince my band to play this song is amazing Nick! , if they agree someday , im gonna take the class on skype with you, greetings from Colombia
We miss you Nick. We miss Cephalic too
Did he pass away? ._.
@@javiercampuzano1049 nope, cephalic just hasn't released an album in years
@@javiercampuzano1049 no, he streams on Twitch a lot. Cool guy, it's awesome watching him play and talk about all the music he's been a part of.
@@javiercampuzano1049 thanks for checking man. Whew! Thought I was dead there for a second !

Sick! Falling down a CC hole tonight, miss this s**t!
You are the best bass player ever Nick.
Awww you too kind! Pretty far from it, but I thank you for the complement and support :)
Bassfordays Nope...pretty sure she's right. Seriously man, right up there with Les, Jaco, and the rest. God Damn.
Watched this video maybe 150 times and listened to the song maybe around 3/400, I'm still amazed everytime I hear this.
still listening. GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD.
Warwick + Aguilar = Amazing tone
The title of this song is so fitting, I just can't seem to get that opening lick out of my head. Fantastic.
MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!! MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!
now...we need The Agony Seeping Storm bass video pleeeeease
Still one of my favourite videos on youtube.
One of the best bass lines i've heard in my life
I cant take life seriously when listening to this band, thank you so much for existing!
if I ever got good enough to play my own style off music on bass guitar, this is always how envisioned it. speaks to me and youre awesome
Never thought, that I need a bass play through of Ohrwurm by an Uschanka wearing dude
But here we are and it gives me all I need right now
Nick is (or was) part of CC.

Fear&Loathing in a Cephalic Bass fest!
Cheers from Morocco!
your playing is genuinley incredible...speechless.
I don't know which deserves more attention... the kickass basslines or the funny facial expressions. Hahaha. Please upload more videos!
No treble just posted this on their site, good to see this video reaching out to us bass nerds. Haha
Wow, amazing, a bassist that plays metal and still uses both sets of his fingers and incorporates such detail to make the bass lines sound like they do.
Super excited to see you guys on Summer Slaughter! Even moar excited to possibly PLAY with you guys!
Will Cephalic Carnage ever come back?
I watched when this first came out and was just thinking back to videos that really inspired me to play a bit harder. Legendary work!
this has officially become one of my favorite riffs of all time.
i dont play bass but i can totally appreciate this video, the talent, everything. thanks for taking the time to put this video together!
Hilarious video. Your right hand technique is one of the best i've seen in a lot, props to you
Nick, you should do more videos, tutorials, online courses and so on.. It's for you to share your mastery.
I was really impressed after listening to NP3 compositions. The first album is a masterpiece!
If I had the time, man. We'll see I've had plans forever to do all that stuff.
fantastic tone! nice growly bass. wish i had one
Amazing.
That fuckin' fart @1:21 made me wake up the neighbors with hearty laughter.
Kudos, Nick. This was both inspirational (even though I don't play bass anymore), and highly entertaining.

Nicks facial expression while playing though😂

Nice job though, sounds awesomeee.

Nick, you are the reason i would take up Bass.
I love this video, much respect. Defiantly one of my biggest inspirations right here, keep it up:D
@Bassfordays Great! Thanks a bunch, that would help a lot. By the way, it's great that you answer comments personally, very few people do that.
This is compelling and hilarious. Keep it coming!
I just love this video

@Sm3tana these were SITs, custom gauge set. .40 .60 .80 .100 .120
But I'll shift all the way up to .45 .65 .85 .105 .135
Kinda depends on the weather. ha
Sick man! Oh and nice hat, I have the same one.

I would love nothing more than to take bass lessons from you.
I'd bring a Commissar's cap to fit the occasion.
