samhain rocksmith alex hefner metal reaction danzig how the gods kill react
My daughter called Danzig "the mean Elvis" when she was small.
...turns out she was a prophet, Danzig recently released the 'Danzig Does Elvis' album!
He is.
We used to call him evil Elvis.
no she didn't. wise up.
so true! glen would feel honored i think ...
The first time I heard this song I was laying in my bed tripping on acid and his voice was turning me into an eagle flying over mountains and when he said would you let it go i said yes and just as I said that I exploded and had the most amazing trip ever like I was traveling through time with the whole song and he was guiding me. Screw the wall listen to how the gods kill if you ever trip.
Hahahahah LOL - i had this weirdo acid experience listening to The Doors in a Brazilian farm.
The doors music sounds so good trippy without the acid I couldnt imagine.
I did, i heard this in the songs,musically, that was amazing
Hahahahahahahahaha will have to try this down the road.
@@macoirc376 won't regret it.
One of the best metal songs ever... Seriously
Danzig 3, my most listened to album of the 90’s
from godless to when the dying calls, danzig 3 is awesome!
Lucifuge for me 🤘
@@zandersmith7608 i can't argue with that either. danzig's first 4 albums are all awesome!
Same
Her Black Wings, Mother
Danzig's 'Sistinas", from the same album, would be another big shock. it's a pure ballad, Danzig-style.
Yes! Such a great song. It’s kind of a shame that Danzig’s whole vibe/look overshadowed how good of a songwriter he actually was.
yeah, he wrote a song for Johnny Cash
love that song 🤘
The version of Sistinas from Demonsweat Live - even better
His straight ballads from the first albums are great
Danzig is really into the occult, and this is reflected in a lot of his lyrics. Chances are that How The Gods Kill is meant literally, not metaphorically
Occultism has a lot to do with the search for knowledge that is often said to be held in secret by said Gods. He's saying he's willing to sacrifice himself in his pursuit. The entire song is about allowing one's Will to become further personified.
They God’s historically killed you with the thing you most valued or think most of about yourself. It’s an integral part of most mythology. Even Christianity teaches, “after pride, comes the fall.” That why humility is taught across religious boundaries.
This comment section is interesting ngl
...and by 'occult', you mean Satan. Right?
Trust me, "London Dungeon" by Misfits. The most iconic guitar riff ever and classic horror vocals by Danzig.
Listening to Misfits you're gonna learn quickly that Danzig really really really likes skulls. Having said that, listen to their song "Skulls"
"Scream" and "Halloween" are also good.
Don't forget Kiss the Skull! Granted that was as Danzig, not the Misfits, but still lol
Skulls, skulls, skulls, and again SKULLS!
Oh and all the Halloween’s
@@Chozo_Ghost and Skull Forest
I mean, he IS a Devilman fan after all.
Scream is a Michale Graves song, not written by Glenn at all.
Definitely react to Misfits. Die, die, die my darling, Last Caress or Saturday Night
Love Die die die my darling
Id add In The Doorway and Bullet to that list
Love all of those, anything with Danzig or Graves is good from the misfits
Last Caress, hands down.
@@thefakenews3150 I have something to say.. you raped any other suggestions today and it... Doesn't matter much to me, as long as it's read
Glenn Danzig, the heavy metal Elvis. Try “Killer Wolf”.
Check out greens Elvis presley cover album 👌
Forgot about that one. Her Black Wings, Mother..and more that I forgot
I prefer... the jim Morrison comparison myself do to the style of music as well
@@albertgein3082 All legit answers. Glen was interviewed about his vocal influences. He cited Elvis, Jim Morrison and Roy Orbison. When asked why, he simply replied: "Because they are cool."
@@letsgoracing78 the Elvis album sucks balls
Glen Danzig has an incredibly distinctive voice.
"She Rides" "Under her Black Wings." "Im the One"
They have a sound that reminds me of the Doors.
theres a lot of those by Danzig
...if the doors tried to play like pantera
That’s not by accident. He was/is obsessed with Jim Morrison.
We have met him a few times. He is incredibly smart and was a really cool guy. He also has a classical album that hit the Classical charts and did a bunch of comic books. We have them all signed along with a poster he did with Frazetta. He's played a demon on film and has started his own set of movies. He is VERY talented.
It's so fuckin great seeing someone appreciate Danzig, man. I along with others spend a lot of time mocking Glenn for the way he is, but it's insane how incredible of a songwriter he is. Danzig 3 is the fuckin bomb.
Def do more Danzig Alex, I’d personally like to see, “I don’t mind the pain” or “Her black wings”! Keep it up bro, love the channel!!
I remember when this album came out. I ama total Danzig fan. I grew up with The Misfits , Samhain and Danzig. Danzig 3 is my favorite Danzig album. Remember Glenn wrote all the music. He plays all instruments. Glenn is a true artist. Loads of new kids don’t know the people that made music that inspired their favorite musicians. Glenn was at the forefront of American punk. He is what people called black metal. Yes, he is self absorbed. He does have a chip on his shoulder. I love love the guy and I always buy what he puts out.
His first three solo albums are amazing.
Four and five ha e bangers a bunch I'd say for me anyway too
How The Gods Kill is my favorite Album ever it's so atmospheric and doomy. Danzig is a Punk and Metal legend!!!
You should definitely check out early Misfits with Danzig aswell it kills
Samhain. Anything of November Coming Fire is gold
How about Samhain?
@@Gregbaltzer definitely, so badass!
@@robertfortin397 samhain is fucking awesome
I heard this song when my father passed. I lost faith in all living things.
Danzig- I don't mind the Pain
Yesssss!
this album is epic. from start to finish amazing.
I'm with you Alex as far as the goosebumps, and I have listened to this song a thousand times, my absolute fave from Danzig!
You should check out "Dirty Black Summer", "Warlok", "On a Wicked Night", "Can't Speak" by Danzig
Oh yes please!!!!do react to Dirty Black Summer and warlock
Sistinas??
"You wouldn't expect someone that BIG to have that angelic of a voice"
Fun Fact: Danzig is like 5'3" lol.
He's talking muscle lol
@@SKULL0fD3ATH. Yeah I had a feeling he was, just thought it'd be a fun "GOTCHA" fact LOL
@@Chozo_Ghost gotcha missed the joke in text form lol
Look up Danzig gets knocked out. It's on TH-cam
His roid rage literally got him ktfo. 1 hitter quitter
Nice to see you reacting to some more by Danzig, a truly awesome song.
This and Sistinas are my late spouse's favorite Danzig tunes. Thanks for reacting to this one! :)
Next need to be MISFITS
AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUE MEANS OF HORROR PUNK!
I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!!! Check out Last Caress By: Misfits.
YAS!@@@@!
Do IT
Because in that song, Danzig has something to say
Discovered danzig quiet late in the late 90s, but since then the music was an elemental part of my life. Glenn Danzig is a god himself.
Brings me back to my highschool years. Loved Danzig. I use to record all the great music videos onto VHS and we would chill and watch hours of music videos.
The Misfits: "Where Eagles Dare" is fun as hell. "London Dungeon" is a good creepy intro too
danzig - mother, gta san andreas - good old times.
That game has the best soundtrack, Alice in chains, guns and roses, Snoop Dogg, NWA, stone temple pilots... I miss when soundtracks could be that fucking awesome
@@rustlerv6549 i played this fame i dont kno 12 years ago or something the game was already old and i was way too young for gta. But still listeb to kdst the home of rockn roll with the only real dj tommy the nightmare smith.
The DJ of that rock station was Axl Rose!
If you're going to own one Danzig album this is the album to get. Danzig 1 and 2 are fantastic and amazing and deserve all the praise and attention in the world but this album is a fucking timeless masterpiece.
Odd fact, I lost my virginity to this track 2 weeks after the album was released.
The more you know. 💫
WINNER🤘🏻🤘🏻
good old 'evil Elvis'. Gotta love Danzig.
Saw this tour in Houston at the old Tower Theater. Openers were Kyuss and White Zombie. One crazy show. Floor was insane, especially during Zombie.
Per Glenn its about the search for knowledge and understanding of oneself... To expand on that, it´s about how one feels he is living in his own darkness (lost), but wants to know the truth, and yet all that truth and power lies inside himself, as in "looking inside his empty soul" where the noose of all the undiscovered fears and insecurities lies; that prison which needs to be worked through, and let go. Hence "would you let it go" stands as both a question and a comment, and "show me How the Gods Kill" stands for the yearning to have all these doubts removed instantly, which is unrealistic. This song is truly about the quest for personal power and self-knowledge.
In the tantric kundalini yoga tradition they have 3 types of noose that binds people, they call it "granthi"
If you do more Danzig do "Devil'sPlaything."
If you do more Danzig you need to do “777” or “Devils plaything”
[ O.] : ORBIT CULTURE - Northstar Of Nija live Studio
Literally anything from Orbit Culture is fire!
Still waiting for Alex to react to Cloud Connected by In Flames.
Why? it's a shit song from a shit album from a band that went to shit.
Moonshield would be a good In Flames song to react to. So would Behind Space 99, Lunar Strain, or anything off of Subterranean
Not a big In Flames fan but Cloud Connected is a great song.
@@StevenRice I agree that the last album is kinda lame, but the early '00s In Flames stuff is probably the best melodic death stuff ever written.
@@kombajn2 disagree highly - even clayman was showing signs of them changing for the worse.
Danzig was wearing those mma gloves since the late 80's lol
In the first home video, he talked about he wanted to get a steel plate form fit into the glove.
The first 4 Danzig albums are all amazing!
Wore this album out back in the day. Left Hand Black is straight 🔥
Such an underrated group. Just deep....
Waving hi from your hometown tonight.
Bro Danzig is a heavy baritone. Quite literally dark Elvis. Hell, he’s an Elvis album. Pushing 70, still killing it. You’ll like old Misfits. 9:27 Short, but they go hard. Late 70s. Raw. Cold War.
Awesome danzig reacts bro. Had to give ya a sub for that. Hope you do more! DANZIG rules!🤘🏽💀🤘🏽
More Danzig please, he's so underrated! His voice is mindblowing. Misfits and Samhain are also insane.
I wish i could hear Danzig for the first time again :( Got to see him with a Doyle/Misfits reunion set. Amazing.
Same here mate. Still remember hearing Danzig for the first time. Mind blowing
It's been awhile since I've listened to Danzig, but "Left Hand Black" was one of my favorites back when I did.
Sending love from Lubbock, Texas! I'm a huge Misfits and Danzig fan, this song being one of my top Danzig songs. Thank you for doing this one! I have great suggestions for both bands of you ever wanna hear them. Love you channel my guy.
O: Oh, Sleeper - "Hush Yael " it's written about a tragic true story, you'll be blown away man!!!!
The song everyone can play when they know how to do pinch harmonics
heard this song before but just forgot about it and damn those lyrics and tunes be hitting hard. *adding to Spotify playlist*
Misfits - “hybrid moments” “where eagle dare” “dig up her bones”
"Dig Up Her Bones" is fake Misfits with Michael Republican Graves.
This takes me back to being a teenager. Love Danzig. His vocal range is amazing.
Little HR Giger in there at the end.
one of the most creative artist from the XX century
I've loved Danzig since he was in the misfits his voice it amazing when my oldest was worn he had colic cried alot I played Danzig he calmed down right away would get put in his crib fussy play Danzig he relaxed he's 28 now still loves Danzig
Yeah, Glen used to be really muscular (haven't seen a picture of him in a long time). He's also really small, 5'3''.
That drummer is Chuck Biscuits. He used to play standing up, at least at live shows. And yeah, he goes hard, I watched him punch through not one, not two, but three (!) snare drum skins at a single show once.
The drummer beats those drums as if someone owed him money...
You're awesome Alex! It's reactions like this that make you great
Tho this is my favorite song by DANZIG I suggest "Twist of Cain""She Rides""Her Black Wings" Killer Wolf"
Love Danzig, I'm a big fan of John Christ the guitarist! He has a great signature sound and plays Biches!
Other favourites are Soul on Fire and I don't Mind the Pain from the extremely underrated 4p album.
4p is great! the first 4 danzig albums are all classics. i really like how they set 4p up with 66 tracks and make the album 61 minutes and 38 seconds. for you youngsters that never used a cd player, when the player reads the disc the display shows 66 61:38.

You’re a legend for doing Danzig reactions
I subscribed, when I saw your reaction to danzig's mother video ... awesome, because Danzig is one of my favourite band of all the time ... and mother was the first song\video that i heard
Happiness is within. True happiness does not come from anything outside ourselves. It's a choice,... Be happy or don't. Don't depend on ppl or circumstances to make you happy. You'll never be happy. Find joy within self and let it out
Almost as wide as he is tall. Yeah. He's a beast! With one hell of a set of pipes and a wild mind. Fabulous. Love Danzig. Like the Misfits too but I like them with Michale as well so...to me THIS is Danzig the way he should be. He just is IN it so much. This is one of my favorite songs. And I love to watch a person's face when they hear it the first time. Or more correct SEE it. You have to see HIM singing this song and that vid is just nuts! People always freak. I know I did. Thank you!🙏🤘😈
haven't heard this in a while, alex. thanks! excellent, btw.
I remembered when this video came out... Had to get the unrated version on VHS tape hahaha love this video song itself is awesome too.. the album Danzig 3 is definitely worth a purchase!!!
I LOVE your reaction!!! 👍🏻
Holy shit a new upload! Hell yeah!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
This man I've seen live more times than anyone else. I've seen the Misfits for the first time in 83. Many more with different lineups. Saw him with his second band Samhain and then Danzig. Danzig I've seen the most of course and I lost count at 26. Sistinas is a great slower along with Blood and Tears. My favorite song is Dominion which others scoff about but I don't give AF. Her Black Wings, Tired of Being Alive, Twist of Cain, Stalker Song and that's just my have to play all the time list and only Danzig because the Misfits are totally different and my first love so that list is pretty much all of them!
Those first 3 or 4 Danzig albums are great. Classics as far as I'm concerned. Fun fact: Glenn Danzig wrote songs for both Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison. Bonus fact: The "Danzig skull" used on their albums was actually ripped off from a comic book
The new intro is FIRE!!! 🔥🤘🏻
Wow I love his voice this reminds me of 80's rock music
Alex, love your reactions.
The title song "How the Gods Kill" concerns a search for knowledge and an understanding of oneself.
The album's cover is a 1976 painting called Meister und Margeritha (The Master and Margarita) by famous Swiss artist H. R. Giger,, named after Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master And Margarita. For the album cover, Giger modified the original painting slightly, covering "the Master's" erect penis with a dagger bearing his interpretation of the Danzig skull symbol. Giger's version of the Danzig skull was later used on T-shirts and as the cover art for the "Dirty Black Summer" single.
The Master & Margarita was also the name of a book, which would inspire Rolling Stones' Sympathy For the Devil as well.
For such a famous baritone really cool choice to do so much falsetto in the intro
Probably one of my favourite songs! Danzig is beyond :)
Need to see him live.
Danzig is super underappreciated in his time... but I really feel that in the future... he will be to Alternative Rock.. what Elvis was to Rock And Roll... he really is the progenitor of everything that came after him... from the Misfits thru Samhain to Danzig... his print is all over alternative rock
About Time Alex
I was mesmerized when I first saw this on Headbangers Ball in the 1990s. Still a great song, great album.
When I was about 15-16 and holy cow I’m getting chills just starting to write this but true story me cousin introduced me and my other cousin and a buncha my friends in the 90s and instantly to the lyrics and the sounds,We partied a lot for 2 whole summers to Danzig,Anyways later in life we all got job and my one cousin ended up in jail around the time my other cousin his name was Vince who introduced us to Danzig went out to work in the oil make killer money…On his way him after a month on the oil patch he was returning home and decided to stop in an old town he lived in and drink at the bar with some friends,They tried to take his keys 🔑 and he fought them and left the bar and drove off and him and and another fella flipped their truck on a gravel road and drown in the river below upside down and died,Then after he passed away during the funeral my cousin Derek who was in jail I mentioned ended up getting a pass to get out for the funeral and ended up asking me if I wanted a tattoo cause he mentioned learned 4 years of tattooing during his stay in jail…So I asked him for the Danzig skull and he did an amazing job putting it on my shoulder and said he would work on it again but he ended up dying later in life he was murdered by some drug dealers with fentanyl,My belief to the awnser to the question about what is the Meaning of HOW THE GODS KILLS…Well I believe what happened in my story is how the gods they can take a life that was once given and not have any remorse what so ever cause we all sin but some sins cannot be forgiven and the gods will show you there is no forgiveness in the most dire situations…Check out the Danzig song called Soul On Fire 🔥please
Glenn Danzig was consistently knocking it out of the park in those days.
This is my FAVORITE Danzig son! Thank you SO much
Alex, I just want to say I am a man full of music. Probably got over 16,000 songs on my phone. Most of my tats are music and band related. I love watching you react to almost every song I know and discovering music that’s new to me. Life’s been a struggle, just want to say watching you lightens my day. Nice to see someone else see the meaning of these songs. And enjoy them like you do. Thank you
Still my favorite since singer since 87
Yes there is life beyond Mother. My personal favorite is Twist of Cain.
Asking alexandria- final episode
Yeah Danzig is awesome!
Danzig is one of my favorite artists; this is a great song for you. Godless is even better.
Danzig ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great reaction video ❤❤❤
Man, Danzig is awesome. You should definitely react to Juju Bone as well, that one is really good.
Danzig was like if you don't like his music don't lesson
Been a Misfits/ Danzig and all the offshoots he did for more years than i like to think of lol...good job with this track, one of my personal favs. what i notice these days is all the kids wearing the old Misfits shirts and i wonder if they even know where it came from . Great work Hef...stay safe...peace
Make sure to check out the misfits next
Danzig is heavy metal Elvis. What a great voice. I was a huge fan of Danzig when I was a kid. Liked a few Misfits songs but more into the Danzig stuff.
Yeah you're definitely on the right track for the meaning of the song. It is indeed about finding the meaning and power in life through oneself, but the important part is that religion and gods are the killers of one's power and true free will. That's why he brings up the way that's God's kill in the lyrics and he depicts a snake goddess to represent all of poison that the many gods people worship. Also displays his own ties to the Christian faith and his dislike for it by having the video take place in a dark twisted church and also the way he holds up the cross with distaste at the end of the video. Its my favorite video he's done because of all the little visual meaning he was able to tie in with the song because he had complete creative freedom when he directed it.
This is Alex's best thumbnail! 👍
