      Speaking of losing chains, how about Unlocking The Truth's "My Chains" for a reaction video? th-cam.com/video/nHsTxoaOaO8/w-d-xo.html

      Awesome Alex! Been suggesting my suggestion for months now. Hopefully you can react to it soon. You HAVE to react to the best metal song ever created yet. Many other reaction channels have watched it and have been amazed. It is Australian melodic death metal. Here comes the song: Eye of the Enemy - The Shift.
      You will be A M A Z E D.
      Cheers,
      William

    Man, i can't believe how many of your metal reacts i've watched by now.
    When i was browsing through some random musicvideos i found a "hiphop head reacts to slipknot" and was like, "the hell is this idiot doing, thinking he can compare metal to hiphop. I bet this is going to be funny and ridiculous." But boi, oh boi was i wrong.
    I really liked that you informed yourself about the band, read some stuff about the lyrics and the meaning of them, and that you just had an open mind and an open heart for the music. I actually found some new gems through your reacts, bands i never heard of or never gave a real chance before.
    So what i'm trying to say is thank you, for showing me new bands and making me rediscover old ones, but above all for bringing such a positive energy and making my day brighter (no homo though :P).
    Peace

    Grew up with my dad listening to Dio all the time and when I got older and discovered the modern metal scene, this cover absolutely blew me away. Killswitch is one of those bands that gave me the music taste I have today and it's awesome to see you going down the same path as you expand your taste. You're one of my favorites Alex, keep doing what you're doing.

  • @adamcastillo3976

    • @bdarne0024
      @bdarne0024 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Derek Charette fact is the word he's looking for is heavy not a thesis on music production. This version of the song is objectively heavier because of the tuning and the style of riffage. Along with tempo shifts and production layering. Just because the subject is ignorant (not stupid) to what he is trying to describe does not mean the quality is not quantifiable. Look at it this way why is a band like cannibal corpse usually considered heavier than a band like Slayer?

    You really listen to your subscribers. It’s really nice to see someone that cares about their viewers as much as you do. I was hoping that you would do this remake next and you did! It happens all the time. Thank you for sharing your opinions in such a subjective manner. It’s fascinating to see someone’s reaction to the songs I’ve been listening to for years when hearing them for the first time. All I can think about is how cool it is that the media we’ve been exposed to growing up is so different. How have you not heard any of these songs before?! It’s a true testament to the beauty of diversity within a shared culture. Thank you again. Your positivity is truly inspiring.

    Love what you’re doing here man, taking a journey from having one specific genre that you listen to for a long period of time and expanding your horizons with something new. I love metal and I’m glad you’re getting into it as well! You should check out more Avenged Sevenfold. One of my all time favorite songs by them is “I won’t see you tonight pt. 1” you should definitely check that out!

    Because, it's more about the effort.

    Pittsburgh by the Amity Affliction. The song is about how the lead singer almost died (something about an illness while they were on tour)
    I think you'd like them. They have a guy who sings and a guy who screams. Fellow Aussies like the boys from Parkway Drive.

      @robertpurner7413 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They're both great :D Howard Jones was more melancholic and emotional, as was, ofc, the Band in his Era, while Jesse Leach is more "aggressive", in my perception :D thankfully Jesse's Cleans are awesome by now too, and for your Supply of Howard's Vox, "Light the Torch" still exist :D

  • @Tnewman54
    @Tnewman54 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yes!!! More Killswitch Engage. Especially with Howard Jones. Would love to see your reaction to Break The Silence, The Arms Of Sorrow, Reject Yourself, & This Fire. Especially Reject Yourself & The Arms Of Sorrow, they're soooo good, my favorite Killswitch Engage songs.
    The lyrics from The Arms Of Sorrow remind me of what it's like to suffer from bad depression and putting on a fake persona so you look normal on the outside but are falling deeper into yourself & can't stop or see any way out. Very deep lyrics. Love this band.

    @VaughanRoderick 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Dude, awesome!
    I would say that Killswitch Engage merely covered it using their own style. Both are great and the opinion in which is better may change depending on ones mindset.
    Drop out of school
    Form a band
    Keep doing your reaction vids
    Grow your hair out.
    Another classic and cover would be Black Sabbath's Snowblind and it's cover by System of a Down. (Cocaine) Both songs are beautiful and Sytem does a great job intergrating the riffs and lyrics into a song that could almost be called their own. Seriously, if you had never heard the Black Sabbath's version, you would think it was a System original.
    Keep up the good work and as always, check out Inis Mona by Eluveitie

    "Whenever you react to an Original song, then a dope ass band has a cover.. Of the SAME SONG" Can we expect a reaction of Trivium's Master of Puppets cover?

    • @drkirbkennethkirby7634
      @drkirbkennethkirby7634 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, because it was vastly inferior. First rule of covering Metallica, dont cover Metallica

    • @KotRFFXIV

      Dr Kirb Kenneth kirby completely disagree.

    I didn't consider myself musically talented, but I first started to play drums in high school. I didn't have rhythm, and coordination but it "snapped" one day and now I can listen to a song and get an idea on how they play it.
    Anyone can learn man, it just takes time.

  • @cassidymd72

    Alex, if you enjoyed this cover, you should try the following.
    Nonpoint - “In the Air Tonight”
    Hellyeah - “I Don’t Care Anymore”
    Or
    Disturbed - “Land of Confusion “
    A real Phil Collins - Genesis lovefest!!!

      I have only heard "Land Of Confusion" by Disturbed. It is even better than the original, and is probably the greatest cover song ever.

  • @BillyToddDawson
    @BillyToddDawson 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    That was so freaking awesome! Phil Collins in your Killswitch Engage video. Who don't love some Phil Collins dropped on them during the dope ass tshirt giveaway. Hellyeah does a dope ass remake of that exact song. By the way congrats to Jesse for winning.

    Sup guy, I discover you a few days ago and you win a new follower !
    It seems you pay attention on lyrics and meaning of the songs, so i'm gonna recommend you to check the band Enter Shikari. Their style is hard to define and their songs are pretty different every time, but they always have strong messages. So check their song Anaesthetist for example ;)
    Another band i'm asking you to look for is "Novelists" with their song "The lichtenberg figure" (pretty catchy) or "Souvenirs" (more feelings in the lyrics)
    Cheers from France for your job ;)

    If you want to see some more impressive guitar shit, watch Scarified (space ship live) by Paul Gilbert, anything Yngwie Malmsteen, anything Guthrie Govan or for an actual song, Tornado of Souls by Megadeth.

  • @enormastittz7973
    @enormastittz7973 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I know you won’t do it anyways but you should react to „The Forsaken Earth“ by Decembre Noir! Rather unknown band from my hometown in Germany. The song is really heavy and is about sadness and melancholy. Would be something different. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪💪🏻

If you wanna get into some other OG metal, check out some Motorhead, another band that's had a huge influence on anything and everything Metal. You will not be disappointed! Thanks for reading, and rock the fuck on!!! \m/ :)
