@@daniilmorillo5326 no. He would be broken. Most dads do not know how to show their emotions.. men always are known to show toughness and strength. Pls do not take any wrong step. You matter. You do.
@@daniilmorillo5326 I'm sorry.. Must have been hard for you. But please don't think about taking the wrong step. I'm sure there are people who love you.
I know your boy is up there rocking out with his hero's and is looking down on you and your Mrs with all the love in the world. Carry on my friends. God bless guys.
The number one most painful and heartbreaking thing for me to see is another man break down and cry. Even worse is trying to hold it back. Not ashamed to admit it made me cry.
@@Kel.N.RichReactions I lost my mom about 13 years ago and my dad 10 years ago to Lung Cancer and I can attest that to this day there are a lot of songs I have trouble listening to. Not going to lie, I cried listening to this myself
Their impact and your memories of them live on. You have created a wonderful legacy, as your love for each other and life experiences have sent positive ripples out in the world. I lost the love of my life in July and you have helped me, as you have helped many, many others. Jared’s legacy is alive and expanding.
❤❤❤💓💓my heart breaks for you both. My son Jimmy has cancer and of course the future is uncertain, he's only 26 and I cant imagine life without him. Im sorry for your loss and I'm happy you got each other to help with the pain.❤❤❤❤💓💓💓
Wow. I have heard this song 100's of times but today I heard it for the first time. I have a new appreciation for this song, the lyrics are perfect at conveying the feeling of grief for the loss of a loved one and how we as the ones left behind have to move forward with life. I will always think of you and your son Jared every time I hear this song from now on. Love you guys and never forget "Through the fire and the flames we carry on"
This was intense, I'm crying with you guys. Time heals the wounds but it never ends the pain. Still cry thinking about my father and that's +35 years ago when he left this earth.
I feel you bro. Truly. I’m not a parent. But my brother was Killed in an explosion in April 2011. Coming up on 9 years AND I STILL HURT. I AM A FORMER ARMY MP. AND I STILL CRY. IF YOU NEED ME. TRULY. LOOK ME UP ON FACEBOOK KYLE JORDAN REILLY.
Man, I was wondering what the title meant by emotional content. Sounds like your son was a truly incredible person, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm happy you guys took this step-forward.
Hey Kel-n-Rich id just like to say thank you for sharing your story and im really sorry for your loss although I dont know your son, when I pick up my guitar and play with my band I will be thinking of him, DragonForce is one of my favorite bands especialy this song because it has a lot of meaning for me which I dont really feel comfortable sharing on youtube at this moment. one other thing is a big fuck you to the people that dissliked this video, have some respect for greiving parents how would you like it if it was you that lost a son or daughter? on a better note i have so much respect for you guys i dont normally cry but this really got me you guys are so lucky to have each other.
Wow, I never noticed how emotional the lyrics on this song actually are. Guess I'll never look at this song the same way again, but in a good way. My condolences to you, Kel and Rich.
I'm just discovering your channel and I came across this. As a father myself, my heart just aches for you and I'm terribly sorry for your loss and cannot imagine your pain. But you have this song...as emotional as it is for you to hear...it honors his memory, you can close your eyes and imagine him shredding up in heaven. God bless you and Kel, I admire the courage and bravery it took for you to post this reaction so soon after your loss.
Thank you so much Paul. Your words mean a lot to us and everyone that reads them. We so appreciate you being here and giving a rip! Much love from Kel and I
I lost my nephew and my little brother in the span of 9 days. I can’t say I feel your pain but I’m damn close. My brother turned me onto this song and got me into Dragonforce. I think of both of them every time I hear this. As long as you keep him close to your heart you’ll never lose him. Y’all keep doing what your doing. It’s helping others more than you think.
And just like that this song gets a whole new meaning...The last thing I'd have expected was having a dragonforce song making me emotional (yet hopeful). With the context that you provided about your lose, every verse felt redefined and so much more meaningful...
This is why I contact with u guys!! My son died from an asthma attack on Christmas Eve 2017 !!! He was only 29 !! My they both RIP TILL we get to be with them again!!!!
Love you guys!. I heard a saying once (and I’m super-paraphrasing here): “When you say a man’s name he is alive!” Nothing to say but “Jared” ❤️❤️🎸❤️❤️ Love to Andrew ✌🏻❤️🇬🇧
I never imagined someone crying listening to this song, but now I realized that I never paid truly attention to the lyric. Great song. My condolences for your loss, Rich.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was just diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and they tell me I've got less than a year to live. I'm 38 married father of 6. I couldn't imagine losing one of my children. Please keep making content.
Never going to be able to listen to this song without getting a tear in my eye and thinking of Jared \m/ Speaking of that store I actually passed by that Long and McQuade music store back in December when I was down in Victoria visiting my beautiful daughter. She loves Metallica, got her a Ride the Lightning t-shirt :) Wish you both the very best during these difficult times we all face.
I never met you two, yet I feel like I've known you somehow. You're the type of people I wish I had for friends. It's always hard to tell online who is for real and who isn't but I feel you two are warm and genuine great people, full of heart and soul. I send my condolences over your loss and wishing you the strength to eventually recover. Much love and respect.
I really felt your pain watching this video. It was a video of love for your son. We lost our first child before it was born and I think about it all the time. What he or she would have looked like. What they would have turned out to be. You were blessed with 20 some years of your son and I can tell that both of you loved him so much. Now this is the beginning of your healing. This was that first HUGE step. Not to forget about him, but to keep on remembering him and he is letting you know he is okay. Would love to hear more about him, not only as a child but as an artist as well. You guys are in my prayers. Keep loving, Keep his memory alive and dont forget to keep rockin! Your friend Steve Bonds from Bay City, Michigan USA
No shame in shearing your tears! It showes me the love you have for your son and the wonderfull person he is! Keep the memory alive and lots of love and respect from me!
Hey Kel & Rich, you already know that I'm a big fan of your channel and what you guys are doing. I along with my best friend also have a reaction channel going, Unhinged Reactions. I just want to commend you on this latest show, and how incredibly Brave you were, Rich, to share your emotions publicly with such honesty and openness. I have suffered much tragedy in my life, as a cancer survivor, brain surgery survivor and watching my uncle and closest family member die right in front of my eyes just last year. Music is such an emotional place for me and of course being able to share such a gift with you guys is awesome. Keep up the great work, you two are a beautiful pair and I wish you all the best going forward. Keep On Rockin'! 🤘 Ps, I also was born and raised in Montreal Quebec Canada.
Hi, thus is the first video I’ve ever seen by you two, you’re both very inspiring, and I’m sorry for the your loss, this was very moving despite knowing nothing else of you both.
Wow. What a video to start with Alex! That was quite a few moments of profound change and ‘getting down’ to some serious sadness and pain for us. Cathartic, moving and yes...necessary. Kel and I invite you to view the nearly 900 others we have experienced and look forward to seeing you in the comments. KnR
This reaction is so wholeheartedly raw and real. RIP Jared. You are remembered by amazing people like Kel and Rich. Thanks for the videos you guys. Keep moving and keep rocking. You have people willing to share your emotions. :)
All my Love, l understand completely. Lost my first wife 34 years ago this April. She was also 5 months pregnant. It never goes away but the wonderful memories remain. Thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏
My heart goes out to you for your loss. 💔 Time does not always heal all wounds, but you have each other to hold onto and to help each other through the sad times. Love each other deeply and be there for one another and you can and will carry on. My love and condolences to you.
You can tell he's was about to cry. I'm so sorry for your loss Rich. Hell, I have connections towards music as well from my father. I remembered listening to Godsmacks I Stand Alone with my father. If anything happened to my dad, I would be devastated. Rest In Peace Jared.
Nine minutes in and anticipating the emotion that you (and me!) are about to feel. I have never heard this song before, nor even heard of the band. So, my own reaction might be like Kel's. 💙 Let's go!
@@Kel.N.RichReactions In tears, again... My son was diagnosed with brain cancer in his spinal cord at age 12. After surgery and radiation, he is now a 9-year survivor. He was always musically inclined as a kid, teaching himself piano, and then picking up acoustic guitar while in high school. He is totally self-taught and tends to play more folk and blues style on the $300 guitar we got him for high school graduation. He is currently saving for his own $700‐1000 guitar that he really wants. Knowing that there was a possibility that we could have lost him, that we may never have heard him play, allows me to only begin to imagine the depths of feelings and emotions you both must feel. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing your inner selves and honoring your son in this way. He is proud of you!
I totally understand how you are feeling. I lost my daughter to leukaemia 5 years ago. There are still some songs that cause me to tear up. But she is always with me in my heart. Thoughts are with you mate.
Thank you for sharing this reaction video. Condolences for your loss - Always remember the good times, and share them often with others to honor his memory and help others through their grief.
Thank you for being you. Genuine. Humble. Appreciative of love and life. You may have lost a loved one but please know you’ve gained others that love you. Keep his memory alive through tears, laughter and music. God bless both of you
I just have to say you Kels n Rich have one one of the best react channels with music I have ever scene/ experienced. I am truly so sorry for your your son's loss. I hope you both know you have the full support and love of the TH-cam community!
Hi Josh 🤘💕 Thank you for sharing such inspiring and kind feelings. We absolutely love and cherish every moment of our show. We are as we appear. When Herman Li contacted us after we released this video, we knew that we were not alone and our experience was being felt and shared all over. Thank you for being so honest and reaching out this way. Much love to you and yours and we can’t wait for our eventual return when we are physically able. 👏👏KnR ❤️💃🏻🕺🔥
Been watching your videos for good while now... and i had no idea. I'm so sorry guys, your loss is so palpable through this video. You guys are creating good out of a tragic situation and you should be so proud of each other for that and for the way you are allowing others to experience your loss. You're both great people. Great channel, too!
He's rocking in the heavens now, and as my grandfather told me before he passed: when I go don't weep for me. I'll always be with you, watching from above.
Only when i started to notice your reaction of deepening sadness did i suddenly connect the dots - seeing yourself in the guitar store and hearing your son and being both amazed and saddened as you watched it in your mind. I grew up playing classical guitar then fell in LOVE w/ the scorpions and this song in particular. I KNOW how hard this song is - i see people play it and my breath slows down as i just can’t believe th challenge of what they’re playing. Your son sounds wonderful. I am so sorry for your loss. I look forward to you two seeing him again.
Much love my friends. Definately shed some tears myself and for this, Made me wanna hug you guys. So i subscribed. So sorry for the loss. Respect from Canada as we carry on
Hey man, I'm truly sorry to hear about your son and it is so upsetting that you lost him way too soon. The pain will never ease but please stay strong, you are a very good man and I'm sure he is incredibly proud and happy that you braved this song, it's okay to cry
I can tell how cathartic this song was for you and how important it was for you both to listen to this in your grieving to process this loss. I honestly admire your relationship with each other, seeing how much you both not only love each other but hold such a high regard, respect, and admiration for each other is what makes it so beautiful.
My heart breaks for you both, I can't imagine the pain and grief you are going through. I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I offer all the support and empathy I possibly can. I truly believe with all of my heart that your son is smiling down upon you both. Whenever I listen to this song, I will be reminded of your son, and the amazing bond that has been shared with us here online. I know my words are a tiny drop in the ocean of experience, but I couldn't help but want to leave a comment, hoping that it helps even a bit.
Thank you so so so much! This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this and being this vulnerable with us about something so personal and sensitive. We grieve with you and we celebrate the healing power of music alongside you.
Jesus I'm bawling my eyes out right now. May his soul be blessed and keep rockin on the fields of Elysium. I wish all the best to you both. Mad respect !
I discovered this song with my father. After few years losing my mother. I lost my father few months ago.. And I did not think this could be an anthem for anyone else. Now I wish I was wrong... LIFE IS JUST NOT JUST FFS!!!!!!
I never saw this reaction when you originally released it. I felt your pain as soon as the music started and cried all the way. Love you guys and stay safe.
I usually don't comment on many videos. But this video is just so wholesome and lovesome. I seriously can't believe that people disliked this. This video is a perfect example that even through tragic and loss, the music will still connect us. I applaud you both for making this video and to be brave enough to show. I cried with you during this video, cause family is something very dear to me and without it i would be in darkness. Thank you for your honest reactions and keep doing what you love. I support you with my whole heart. I will subscribe of course, since this video touched me in so many ways. Even if you don't read this i want to say im so proud of you guys, for doing this video and to share the pain you are going through. With all the love i can share. Robert
This is what i call healthy coping mechanisms. I know it happened a while ago, but my condolances to both of you, i can tell that you both love eachother and that alone is just nice to watch.
Glad you finally got round to this song I'm so sorry for your loss I myself am epileptic I am 26 turning 27 on Tuesday I used to be really bad when it came to seizures but with my medication I have gone several years without a major seizure so I can relate to your son and the both of you I'm just surprised I've survived this long.
I am really glad you shared your story before playing the song rather than after. I’ve listened to this song countless times, but hearing your story brought a whole new meaning to it. I respect your strength to sit through this while the wound is still fresh. I send all my love and respect to you both. Much love all the way from Hawai’i. Aloha 🤙🏾
I had no idea you’d lost your son, Rich. I’m a father myself, and I cannot imagine how monumental a loss that must’ve been for you both. You guys were so brave putting this video and song up and letting us watch you go through the raw emotions. You had me in tears too, and from now on whenever I hear this Dragonforce track, it’ll make me think of you and your son. Love you guys; sending big hugs from England. Take care of yourselves.
Powerful content and heart wrenching for me to watch.. my condolences go to you and kel.. this is truly what music is supposed to make us do, feel the emotion, joy rage , sadness, whatever.. that the writer and or performers feel, but not just that... its ability to attach itself into our own lives and hearts based on our experiences... your ability to share your own anguish helps us too... love the show
It's beautiful honoring ur son like this. I can't imagine the loss. I have 2 kids and they are my life. Thank u guys . Love u two for this. First time seeing ur channel and much much love and respect to u two.
Great and emotional video..made me cry.. And convinced me I should pull out good old GH3 for my 7 year old son this coming weekend. He’s been asking to try it for some time. And you never know when it might be too late 😥 Stay strong!
Just watched this a few moments ago before posting this comment. I definitely felt the emotions you both had. Couldn't imagine what you've been through... he's definitely looking down on you both. And Probably doìng some epic shredding with the great Randy Rhodes 🤘
Hey guys this is the first time I've been on your channel and all I can say is thank you for sharing the memories you guys have of your son. I can't imagine the pain you are going through as a father myself. Stay strong and keep loving everyone.
Thank you both for your honesty, your rawness, and pure emotion with feelings. To suffer a loss can be so hard to navigate. Watching you share your loss with us is amazing and i thank you as its helped me so much in trying to navigate my loss. Normal people with with kind thoughts of others and in sharing that is heart felt. Thank you, as losing someone is hard enough, but to carry on can be just so hard at times, and can get very dark. Much metal lerv from down under, and thanks for helping me in my personal battle against loss and darkness \m/ \m/
Bless you, guys. I've recently lost my cousin, he was just 47 years old. I haven't seen him in years and I thought I wouldn't be too affected by his passing. I kept my cool even during the funeral. And then one day I listened to some Judas Priest and suddenly i remembered he was the one who gave me the "British Steel" album when I was a kid... And then I realised it was in his house I first heard Iron Maiden and listened to "Use Your Illusion". It was him who took me to my first rock concert. And then I just started crying,,
Wow so emotional, I love that song, but It's got new meaning now! So sorry for your loss, I think your grief filterd through my tv. Very brave of you to continue.
I’m a 32 yo dad My son is two months And watching this man breakdown really made me tear up here on my lunch break at work. I’m so sorry for your lost.You’re a strong person. I don’t know, I’d lose it if I ever lost my son. Thank you for sharing this moment publicly Makes me appreciate what I have a lot more. Im giving my son a huge hug when I get home, My family and I will keep y’all in our prayers. Much love.
Bless you Rich for sharing this very personal experience. Sincere condolences on your loss. And what a wonderful way to celebrate your son's life. Rock in peace Jared. The gold in you shines forever.
That was a tough one but well worth the watch. It was especially good to see you get in to it toward the end. There was just a little healing in there and for that I’m glad for you. You guys are an amazing couple.
I'm sorry for your loss. Life is bitter sometimes. But it's goes on, and we have to be strong. I lost my best friend a year and a half ago. He was an Avenged Sevenfold fan, and when i hear i remember him every note. Wish you strenght and all the best. Throught the fire and the flames, we carry on.
Thankyou for sharing this private momment with all of us. I am praying for Andrew and your son Jared. We love you guys, hang in there. You two are so beautiful together. We can see how genuine you both are with your love towards each other and everyone. Its an inspiration to say the least!!
I cried right along with you Rich n Kel. I can't even imagine the grief you feel hearing this song..I so appreciate you reacting to this song. Your son had true talent and will be truely missed..rest in peace Jared...I know you're rockin' the heavens.
As a dad, this was so hard to watch. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you felt and continue to feel. Remember the good, cherish these things, and never forget. I have to say, watching this, father to father, I really wanted to hug you man. Stay strong
I love you two and the bond you share, It's obvious that you two would do anything for each other. Power Metal like this is always emotional, and the fact that this was a special song for you shows. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I don't know if you know the song, but as soon as I saw that this one was a special one for you and Jared, Eagleheart by Stratovarius instantly popped into my head, and I think that the feel from that song fits his spirit perfectly.
Sweet Jesus. You are so incredibly brave and selfless to open up on social media like that, especially it being so soon after your tremendous loss. I was sobbing with and for you both. My heart just breaks for you. Now... for the song. DAAAAAEEEEEM! I have never heard of this band nor heard this song before. I cannot believe your amazing child picked this up so quickly. Goodness gracious! That was an amazing banger (total understatement). May your hearts find peace and healing.
To share a story like that.. To cry on camera and still carry yourself the way you do.. I have nothing but respect for that sort of strength.
Thanks TB. That means a lot. Strength shows up in some really odd places. This was a profound experience. Still is...
Rich,I think you are the luckiest man alive. I can only dream of having a woman look at me the way Kel looks at you. Never lose her
True, but Kel looks at Rich in that way because she knows how lucky she is. In other words, they're both lucky to have found each other. They rock!
@@ChuckWasHere yes they do. The perfect couple
You both warm our hearts more than you know. Thank you for these amazingly thoughtful comments. Much love. Kel-n-Rich
I never even dreamed about someone like Kelli. They remind me that good things can happen, even after tragedy and long-term difficulties.
"Through the fire and flames we carry on"

Is he doing okay

I will always think of you and your son Jared every time I hear this song from now on. Love you guys and never forget "Through the fire and the flames we carry on"
That's exactly what I thought when I watched this video and listened to the lyrics AND the things Rich told about Jared.
Never comprehended how much meaning this song has and I really feel sorry for your loss
yeah I always overlooked the lyrics but they have so much more meaning right now
I can’t imagine the loss you have endured. This brought too many memories of losing my cousin from a seizure disorder. I wish you peace.
This was intense, I'm crying with you guys. Time heals the wounds but it never ends the pain. Still cry thinking about my father and that's +35 years ago when he left this earth.
Stay strong, Rich. Jared probably jamming out with Dimebag Darrel and Randy Rhodes up beyond the clouds.
Exactly what I was thinking. rip
You can’t forget jimi
And Neil Peart!
And now he's also up there jammin' with the legendary Eddie Van Halen.
id like to add the rev, dude was a monster on drums
I feel you bro. Truly. I’m not a parent. But my brother was Killed in an explosion in April 2011. Coming up on 9 years AND I STILL HURT. I AM A FORMER ARMY MP. AND I STILL CRY. IF YOU NEED ME. TRULY. LOOK ME UP ON FACEBOOK KYLE JORDAN REILLY.

Love you guys!. I heard a saying once (and I’m super-paraphrasing here):
“When you say a man’s name he is alive!”
Nothing to say but “Jared” ❤️❤️🎸❤️❤️
Love to Andrew ✌🏻❤️🇬🇧
I never imagined someone crying listening to this song, but now I realized that I never paid truly attention to the lyric. Great song. My condolences for your loss, Rich.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was just diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and they tell me I've got less than a year to live. I'm 38 married father of 6. I couldn't imagine losing one of my children. Please keep making content.
Never going to be able to listen to this song without getting a tear in my eye and thinking of Jared \m/
Speaking of that store I actually passed by that Long and McQuade music store back in December when I was down in Victoria visiting my beautiful daughter. She loves Metallica, got her a Ride the Lightning t-shirt :)
Wish you both the very best during these difficult times we all face.

Music is such an emotional place for me and of course being able to share such a gift with you guys is awesome. Keep up the great work, you two are a beautiful pair and I wish you all the best going forward. Keep On Rockin'! 🤘
Ps, I also was born and raised in Montreal Quebec Canada.
takes guts to put your heart out there like that. im in awe of your courage. all my best you two. cheers.
My sister was an epileptic who also passed in her sleep from a seizure at 21. I feel your pain.
Hi, thus is the first video I’ve ever seen by you two, you’re both very inspiring, and I’m sorry for the your loss, this was very moving despite knowing nothing else of you both.
Wow. What a video to start with Alex! That was quite a few moments of profound change and ‘getting down’ to some serious sadness and pain for us. Cathartic, moving and yes...necessary. Kel and I invite you to view the nearly 900 others we have experienced and look forward to seeing you in the comments. KnR
This reaction is so wholeheartedly raw and real. RIP Jared. You are remembered by amazing people like Kel and Rich. Thanks for the videos you guys. Keep moving and keep rocking. You have people willing to share your emotions. :)
All my Love, l understand completely. Lost my first wife 34 years ago this April. She was also 5 months pregnant. It never goes away but the wonderful memories remain. Thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Best of wishes to you too man. Rock on 🤘🏻✊
I hope you’re doing well man I’ll pray for you
My heart goes out to you for your loss. 💔 Time does not always heal all wounds, but you have each other to hold onto and to help each other through the sad times. Love each other deeply and be there for one another and you can and will carry on. My love and condolences to you.
You can tell he's was about to cry. I'm so sorry for your loss Rich. Hell, I have connections towards music as well from my father. I remembered listening to Godsmacks I Stand Alone with my father. If anything happened to my dad, I would be devastated. Rest In Peace Jared.
Deepest video I've seen in a while, you both are some of the strongest human beings in the world. Stay strong
Nine minutes in and anticipating the emotion that you (and me!) are about to feel. I have never heard this song before, nor even heard of the band. So, my own reaction might be like Kel's. 💙 Let's go!
@@kenhavens9559 this was big…
@@Kel.N.RichReactions In tears, again...
My son was diagnosed with brain cancer in his spinal cord at age 12. After surgery and radiation, he is now a 9-year survivor. He was always musically inclined as a kid, teaching himself piano, and then picking up acoustic guitar while in high school. He is totally self-taught and tends to play more folk and blues style on the $300 guitar we got him for high school graduation. He is currently saving for his own $700‐1000 guitar that he really wants.
Knowing that there was a possibility that we could have lost him, that we may never have heard him play, allows me to only begin to imagine the depths of feelings and emotions you both must feel. My heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing your inner selves and honoring your son in this way. He is proud of you!
Much love from Cali and a musician as well. Everyone deserves a dad like you, truly. Y’all are amazing and we all love you
I totally understand how you are feeling. I lost my daughter to leukaemia 5 years ago. There are still some songs that cause me to tear up. But she is always with me in my heart. Thoughts are with you mate.
Thank you for sharing this reaction video. Condolences for your loss - Always remember the good times, and share them often with others to honor his memory and help others through their grief.
Thank you for being you. Genuine. Humble. Appreciative of love and life. You may have lost a loved one but please know you’ve gained others that love you. Keep his memory alive through tears, laughter and music. God bless both of you
@10:55 We all appreciate you so much Rich n Kels for sharing your son's story! You will always have our support and love!! Thank you 🙏👍👏
Sorry for your loss. Hope you two will be ok!
I just have to say you Kels n Rich have one one of the best react channels with music I have ever scene/ experienced. I am truly so sorry for your your son's loss. I hope you both know you have the full support and love of the TH-cam community!
Hi Josh 🤘💕
Thank you for sharing such inspiring and kind feelings. We absolutely love and cherish every moment of our show. We are as we appear.
When Herman Li contacted us after we released this video, we knew that we were not alone and our experience was being felt and shared all over.
Thank you for being so honest and reaching out this way.
Much love to you and yours and we can’t wait for our eventual return when we are physically able.
👏👏KnR ❤️💃🏻🕺🔥
Been watching your videos for good while now... and i had no idea. I'm so sorry guys, your loss is so palpable through this video. You guys are creating good out of a tragic situation and you should be so proud of each other for that and for the way you are allowing others to experience your loss. You're both great people. Great channel, too!
He's rocking in the heavens now, and as my grandfather told me before he passed: when I go don't weep for me. I'll always be with you, watching from above.
Only when i started to notice your reaction of deepening sadness did i suddenly connect the dots - seeing yourself in the guitar store and hearing your son and being both amazed and saddened as you watched it in your mind.
I grew up playing classical guitar then fell in LOVE w/ the scorpions and this song in particular. I KNOW how hard this song is - i see people play it and my breath slows down as i just can’t believe th challenge of what they’re playing.
Your son sounds wonderful. I am so sorry for your loss. I look forward to you two seeing him again.
Much love my friends. Definately shed some tears myself and for this, Made me wanna hug you guys. So i subscribed. So sorry for the loss. Respect from Canada as we carry on
I can't even listen to this anymore.
Not the same, at least.
Rich, nothing but love coming your way.
Jay B thanks Jay. It’s all good.
@@Kel.N.RichReactions I can do enough of this song, that I know what I can't quite do....
The only reaction that has ever brought tears to my eyes....sorry for your loss...
Hey man, I'm truly sorry to hear about your son and it is so upsetting that you lost him way too soon. The pain will never ease but please stay strong, you are a very good man and I'm sure he is incredibly proud and happy that you braved this song, it's okay to cry
I can tell how cathartic this song was for you and how important it was for you both to listen to this in your grieving to process this loss. I honestly admire your relationship with each other, seeing how much you both not only love each other but hold such a high regard, respect, and admiration for each other is what makes it so beautiful.
Chin up! If your son could play this be proud!!! You got me teary as a fellow dad.👍🏼
My heart breaks for you both, I can't imagine the pain and grief you are going through. I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I offer all the support and empathy I possibly can. I truly believe with all of my heart that your son is smiling down upon you both. Whenever I listen to this song, I will be reminded of your son, and the amazing bond that has been shared with us here online. I know my words are a tiny drop in the ocean of experience, but I couldn't help but want to leave a comment, hoping that it helps even a bit.
There’s gold in you two. Thanks for sharing this. Much love from Australia ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so so so much! This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this and being this vulnerable with us about something so personal and sensitive. We grieve with you and we celebrate the healing power of music alongside you.
Jesus I'm bawling my eyes out right now. May his soul be blessed and keep rockin on the fields of Elysium. I wish all the best to you both. Mad respect !
I discovered this song with my father. After few years losing my mother. I lost my father few months ago.. And I did not think this could be an anthem for anyone else. Now I wish I was wrong... LIFE IS JUST NOT JUST FFS!!!!!!
I never saw this reaction when you originally released it. I felt your pain as soon as the music started and cried all the way. Love you guys and stay safe.
Every Dragonforce song: Life is a struggle and everything's so far away
Lmao
FUD Hater every power metal song
Sands of all times, under dark stormy skies.

Dragonforce in a Nutshell:

Fire.
Amazing solos.
Demons.
Quests.

I usually don't comment on many videos. But this video is just so wholesome and lovesome. I seriously can't believe that people disliked this. This video is a perfect example that even through tragic and loss, the music will still connect us. I applaud you both for making this video and to be brave enough to show. I cried with you during this video, cause family is something very dear to me and without it i would be in darkness. Thank you for your honest reactions and keep doing what you love. I support you with my whole heart. I will subscribe of course, since this video touched me in so many ways. Even if you don't read this i want to say im so proud of you guys, for doing this video and to share the pain you are going through.
With all the love i can share. Robert
This is what i call healthy coping mechanisms. I know it happened a while ago, but my condolances to both of you, i can tell that you both love eachother and that alone is just nice to watch.
One of the bravest, rawest things I've seen in ages.... All my condolences
Glad you finally got round to this song I'm so sorry for your loss I myself am epileptic I am 26 turning 27 on Tuesday I used to be really bad when it came to seizures but with my medication I have gone several years without a major seizure so I can relate to your son and the both of you I'm just surprised I've survived this long.
Your reaction is great bro! I still cry sometimes when I hear this song 😢
I am really glad you shared your story before playing the song rather than after. I’ve listened to this song countless times, but hearing your story brought a whole new meaning to it. I respect your strength to sit through this while the wound is still fresh. I send all my love and respect to you both. Much love all the way from Hawai’i. Aloha 🤙🏾
I had no idea you’d lost your son, Rich. I’m a father myself, and I cannot imagine how monumental a loss that must’ve been for you both.
You guys were so brave putting this video and song up and letting us watch you go through the raw emotions. You had me in tears too, and from now on whenever I hear this Dragonforce track, it’ll make me think of you and your son.
Love you guys; sending big hugs from England. Take care of yourselves.
Powerful content and heart wrenching for me to watch.. my condolences go to you and kel.. this is truly what music is supposed to make us do, feel the emotion, joy rage , sadness, whatever.. that the writer and or performers feel, but not just that... its ability to attach itself into our own lives and hearts based on our experiences... your ability to share your own anguish helps us too... love the show
I needed this video. This is strength. This video reminds me to be strong. Thank you.
It's beautiful honoring ur son like this. I can't imagine the loss. I have 2 kids and they are my life. Thank u guys . Love u two for this. First time seeing ur channel and much much love and respect to u two.
God damn, I'm broken. Tough to watch but I appreciate the strength to do so.
Great and emotional video..made me cry.. And convinced me I should pull out good old GH3 for my 7 year old son this coming weekend. He’s been asking to try it for some time. And you never know when it might be too late 😥 Stay strong!
I’m glad you guys re uploaded this although it’s still too hard for me to watch.Rock In Peace Jared! All my love to you and Kel
Just watched this a few moments ago before posting this comment. I definitely felt the emotions you both had. Couldn't imagine what you've been through... he's definitely looking down on you both. And Probably doìng some epic shredding with the great Randy Rhodes 🤘
Anyone who has lost someone will know your pain, peace brother, and to you too Kel, pillar of support
Hey guys this is the first time I've been on your channel and all I can say is thank you for sharing the memories you guys have of your son. I can't imagine the pain you are going through as a father myself. Stay strong and keep loving everyone.
Thank you both for your honesty, your rawness, and pure emotion with feelings.
To suffer a loss can be so hard to navigate. Watching you share your loss with us is amazing and i thank you as its helped me so much in trying to navigate my loss.
Normal people with with kind thoughts of others and in sharing that is heart felt.
Thank you, as losing someone is hard enough, but to carry on can be just so hard at times, and can get very dark.
Much metal lerv from down under, and thanks for helping me in my personal battle against loss and darkness \m/ \m/
Bless you, guys. I've recently lost my cousin, he was just 47 years old. I haven't seen him in years and I thought I wouldn't be too affected by his passing. I kept my cool even during the funeral. And then one day I listened to some Judas Priest and suddenly i remembered he was the one who gave me the "British Steel" album when I was a kid... And then I realised it was in his house I first heard Iron Maiden and listened to "Use Your Illusion". It was him who took me to my first rock concert. And then I just started crying,,
I feel you. I too lost my cousin this month only 35 years old.
Wow so emotional, I love that song, but It's got new meaning now! So sorry for your loss, I think your grief filterd through my tv. Very brave of you to continue.
I’m a 32 yo dad
My son is two months
And watching this man breakdown really made me tear up here on my lunch break at work.
I’m so sorry for your lost.You’re a strong person.
I don’t know, I’d lose it if I ever lost my son.
Thank you for sharing this moment publicly
Makes me appreciate what I have a lot more.
Im giving my son a huge hug when I get home,
My family and I will keep y’all in our prayers.
Much love.
Bless you Rich for sharing this very personal experience. Sincere condolences on your loss. And what a wonderful way to celebrate your son's life. Rock in peace Jared. The gold in you shines forever.
Love to you Rich, the hardest thing that I can imagine. Life moves forward but the love is always there. Keep him close Kel.
That was a tough one but well worth the watch. It was especially good to see you get in to it toward the end. There was just a little healing in there and for that I’m glad for you. You guys are an amazing couple.
I'm sorry for your loss. Life is bitter sometimes. But it's goes on, and we have to be strong. I lost my best friend a year and a half ago. He was an Avenged Sevenfold fan, and when i hear i remember him every note. Wish you strenght and all the best. Throught the fire and the flames, we carry on.
Thankyou for sharing this private momment with all of us. I am praying for Andrew and your son Jared. We love you guys, hang in there.
You two are so beautiful together. We can see how genuine you both are with your love towards each other and everyone. Its an inspiration to say the least!!
Been watching you guys for awhile and just stumbled across this one...was a tough watch. Hearts out to you both...
I cried right along with you Rich n Kel. I can't even imagine the grief you feel hearing this song..I so appreciate you reacting to this song. Your son had true talent and will be truely missed..rest in peace Jared...I know you're rockin' the heavens.
As a dad, this was so hard to watch. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you felt and continue to feel. Remember the good, cherish these things, and never forget. I have to say, watching this, father to father, I really wanted to hug you man. Stay strong
I love you two and the bond you share, It's obvious that you two would do anything for each other.
Power Metal like this is always emotional, and the fact that this was a special song for you shows. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I don't know if you know the song, but as soon as I saw that this one was a special one for you and Jared, Eagleheart by Stratovarius instantly popped into my head, and I think that the feel from that song fits his spirit perfectly.
Sweet Jesus. You are so incredibly brave and selfless to open up on social media like that, especially it being so soon after your tremendous loss. I was sobbing with and for you both. My heart just breaks for you.
Now... for the song. DAAAAAEEEEEM! I have never heard of this band nor heard this song before. I cannot believe your amazing child picked this up so quickly. Goodness gracious! That was an amazing banger (total understatement).
May your hearts find peace and healing.
You broke my heart Rich. Much peace to your family.
