The important feature is that this is not just an incredible female singer with a band behind. This is an incredible band as a whole! All musicians are so talented that everything is pretty well balanced! I discovered Jinjer thanks to your reaction channel with your Pisces video, and now I can't wait for their next album! You guys make possible that metalheads discover other metal bands and become new fans of these bands. Thanks for it!
Hello there, i know your post is 3 years old, but, i think that although the band behind is pretty good, their singer clearly stands out. In the world of metal, i think she's a unique singer, of a level that is rarely seen. The rest of the band is good, as you find in metal. I don't mean in any way that they are average or whatever. But, they are not for instance dream theater, in terms of what they show. But perhaps that they show restraint, and their composition simply goes there. But in dream theater, you often see how each musician is a virtuoso. In Jinjer, i see how she is a virtuoso, with a good band. But i also get you in the way that, for instance, Malmsteen is a virtuoso, but without a band (i don't mean his band is bad, but for many tracks, they could also be backing tracks for what they do... Cacophony for instance had jason becker and marty friedman answering to each other... RATM has all the band members really contributing to the tracks. In Malmsteen, well you have malmsteen, and some guys behind. Same for Batio. This is clearly not the case here, with jinjer. But she apears to be standing above all other band members. I would say that she stands out the same way as legends stand out in their genre :)

Another outstanding reaction. You guys have come an incredibly long way in your knowledge and ear for good metal. Always #FreeThinking cuzza you gents, Cheers 🍷
Every time I get an email notification saying you guys uploaded a video,I get excited like I did as a kid Christmas morning! When I see you react to Rush it’s like I got a new Tonka truck Christmas morning! 😂 thank you guys!
I definitely concur and definitely to the rock and metal ones. The love for rock and metal keeps increasing, I see it becoming their favorite genre. Nothing has the diversity that rock and metal has, so much amazing music.
So glad jinjer are getting the recognition they deserve. Been one of my favourite bands for a good few years so really happy there hard work is paying of and more people are getting to hear this brilliant band. Thanks guys ,great review as usual 👍🏻
Firstly, "female growlers" - hilarious, really made me laugh. Secondly, Jinjer are terrific, a real find. Finally, please react to Nightwish, any of their songs are great, but try to listen more recent songs with Floor Jansen on vocals to get a good idea of where they are now, rather than with previous vocalists. All songs are excellent, especially "live" from more recent gigs. Keep it up chaps
FEAR FACTORY - Self Bias Resistor . I seriously don't understand why this isn't recommended more and hasn't be done yet. It almost should have been one of the first bands you reacted to after the classics 80s stuff. They are so decisive and influential in the turn metal has taken since the mid-90s. It seems like they don't really get the credit they deserve. Plus their sound is amazing, and seems to have been designed especially for you too. Anyways, on point reaction as usual, I agree with most of your points! Some good parts, but the music is too contrived for my tastes.
Great video guys. That second half of the song was indeed great. I don't know if anyone has suggested it previously, but I think that you should give a listen to Porcupine Tree. A lot of newer bands with prog elements have been greatly influenced by them. I would suggest either "The sound of Muzak" or "Blackest Eyes".
I highly recommend Amon Amarth. It's melodic death metal or commonly known as "viking metal". Some great songs are Raise your Horns, Guardians of Asgaard, or At Dawn's First Light.
TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). You guys are gonna kick yourselves for not checking TesseracT sooner! Old stuff and new stuff always KILLS!
I am a year long fan here and the Ne Obliviscaris Of Plagueflowers and the Kaleidoscope song was my favorite review of yours. This is what introduced me to one of the most masterful pieces of art I've ever heard. Thank you. Ever since that i promised myself that i would never miss this band live if they came near me. I have not only seen them live now but have purchased all 3 albums instantly after the live performance. They were as close to perfection as I'll ever be witness to. I've been thinking of the perfect song for you guys to react to after this one by NeO. I think i have just the one if you were to listen to only one more which i pray you will want to do more upon hearing this. The song is "As Icicles Fall" off the Portal of I album by Ne Obliviscaris. Thank you for introducing many of us to this spectacle of a band. They are ever growing in their presence within the metal community and one day will be revered as one of the best in modern metal for it is an ever evolving genre.
LOST IN VEGAS YOU RULE! First things First: You two dudes ROCK! I appreciate your willingness and open-mindedness to honestly listen through music genres that may not be in your comfort zones. Second: You guys are truly genuine and FUNNY in your reactions; like Comedy funny and I do appreciate that. Third: You obviously know a lot about different musical genres and can pull things from various contexts and identify it in heavy metal tracks which is very cool. (IE. The Rush YYZ connection to Jinjer’s I Speak Astronomy). LAST: As an old guy and long-time hard rock/heavy metal guitar player and music FAN of many music genres; I have 2 bands/videos for you to do reactions to because I see you guys love Tatiana from Jinjer and you see her as the best female metal singer today (I happen to agree): Here are the only two real challengers: 1) Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy’s’ original singer) Video Reaction - ARCH ENEMY: MY APOCALYPSE 2) Lauren Hart - Once Human - ONCE HUMAN: EYE OF CHAOS Those 2 bands and those two specific tracks are right in your wheelhouse. Knock it out the Park, guys!
Please guys react to Alcest’s song Oiseaux de Proie. I know you guys would absolutely love it. It’s so beautiful and atmospheric and Neige’s voice is so amazing. I think that song would really open a whole new side to metal for you guys, the side of metal with beautiful melodies and atmosphere which is the side of metal I’m drawn to the most. I think you guys would absolutely love Alcest and I honestly can’t recommend their song Oiseaux de Proie enough times to you. It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life and I’d honestly call it perfect
So first off, congratulations on reaching a milestone in metal nerd-dom by identifying the YYZ similarity. I mean you guys didn't even hesitate, you had YYZ in your head. You can now hang out behind the 7-11 in rural michigan, with all rights and permissions therein. Jay and Silent Bob have given the nod, I'm sure. Secondly, ya'll HAVE to let the song breath a bit and not interrupt them SO much. I know you are juggling copyright laws but sometimes I feel as though you can't get into a song properly if you interrupt it mid-verse (sometimes mid-verse sentence!) to make some comment. Let the song live a LITTLE before opening yer yap :P That said, keep doing what you're doing, I look forward to your videos every week.
I'm going to be completely honest I have tried to listen to this band several times and just can't get into it. But, I do appreciate the vocals and the musicianship. Thanks for the exposure to all genres and the honest reactions. For all you Fans rock on🤘
Sandy Lewis I'm in agreement. I didn't catch the first reaction, and I'm not familiar with the band. While all the pieces are great here, it might take me a few listens to really appreciate. I love clean vocals and am down with growls, but I'll have to catch a live video to see that this wasn't studio magic. Also, I think I would've had a more positive initial reaction if I wasn't seeing the video. I enjoyed parts of it (the sci-fi fan in me), but I think something about how the growls were shown was a bit annoying.
I'll admit, the first time I heard the song, it didn't really grab me like some of their others. After a few spins, though, it's become one of my favorites. If you didn't like this one, try songs like Outlander, Words of Wisdom, and Just Another. They're a little more straightforward and less chaotic than this one.
Other than that... you guys are awesome! I love that you don’t pick one genre to react to... i try to add requests to similar artist reactions... but I have some that won’t fit in any genre! So I’ll throw’m at ya at random! Keep being awesome!
Death Symbolic or anything from that album, it is really much more accessible then any of their others. And if you want an Arch Enemy song enemy within is fantastic.
I LOVE that you referenced "YYZ" by Rush!!! Neil Peart is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time! I just love your reactions and sometimes come back and watch them over and over...thanks for being so entertaining! I love sharing your channel with others and seeing their reaction to you guys...
Nevermore - "This Godless Endeavor" , pls Arch Enemy - "Nemesis" for their "golden age" singer Angela Goßow who chews steel for breakfast Or Arch Enemy - “Nemesis Live at Wacken 16” from their live DVD (it is up on TH-cam on their record label channel) to get their best song and their new singer and guitarist. You also get to see arguably the biggest festival in metal. Arch Enemy - "The World is Yours" featuring the new singer Alisa who is really good but not quite as gruff as Angela, and sorry for being shallow, just smoking hot. Like pretty much every metal dude's wet dream.
BassasaurusRex ha fans are weird. Angela is my favorite just because that's when I was listening to them and seeing them live. She's a cool person offstage. I don't know much about the new girl but the new music doesn't hold my interest. Mad respect for the whole band past and present, they are very talented.
TWELVE FOOT NINJA - Coming For You (with video clip).....you guys would LOVE IT!!!! :-) WE would love it :-D lol and I will try and put this on as many vidz as i can so that everyone else can like and comment on it and hopefully you see it.... :-D
Obscure Karaoke I’ve been doing the same thing! I think they will really dig the groove they got. But.. I think the video will put them off the song a bit, maybe just the audio first, then the video lol.
Yeah there is a pile of songs from each band that are amazing. Being around for 20 years will allow for that. Hopefully they give melodic death metal a chance.
Dark Tranquility definately has some ambient mood that ain't too harsh for hip-hop heads. In Flames in general took that Sweedish Melodic Death Metal sound and insfused it with singing and song structure taken from pop music. If they liked Trivium, they will definately Melodic Death Metal. In Flame's earlier stuff is a lot darker, and a lot heavier, but Soundtrack to your escape is among In Flames most pop-like albums. I remember back in high-school, a lot of kids were judging me for my taste in metal, and I used to get picked on. Then later I became more sociable, and became more cool, so some of those kids who were primarily influenced by hip-hop started showing interest in me, and the things I liked. That's a reason why I enjoy Ryan and George's reviews. Ryan and George are the typical popular kids who listen to whatever's popular. And then they review Metal and classic Rock. Basically my hip-hop minded friend at the time really enjoyed The Quiet Place, so from experience I can guarantee that it's a good metal song to sell metal and melodic death metal to a non-metalhead The chosen pessimist is a freaking good song. Tho personally it gets me moody. And I think that Ryan and George are more into grooves and rhythm, rather than sometime more dreamy and moody
I have got to thank this channel for putting me onto some new music. I had never heard of this band before I saw your reviews, but now I'm hooked and I can't get off. Major props to y'all. If I can make a request, the next time y'all are looking for some country music, it would be cool if y'all could review Martina McBride- "Independence Day." I know you liked the last Martina song you listened to, but when it comes to '90s country, "Independence Day" is near the top if not the pinnacle. If you do end up doing it, I recommend the video; it's really powerful.
My god, I have been watching you guys for 8 F'n hours now! JUST discovered this channel today and thanks for all the good content. I hate to make another request as there are sooo many just in this thread alone that I would love to see....Mudvayne - Dig, Queensrÿche-Empire, and so on and so on....but on the subject of bands with girls I have to suggest Kittie - Brackish.
Another great reaction, fellas. You bring the real with each video you do. I admit I'm not a big fan of the growling, but Jinjer somehow makes it palatable. Part of it is her actual singing voice, which is aces. I'd like to see you react to Lingus by Snarky Puppy. You've done a LOT of different genres but not too much jazz. I think this is a good one to react to.
Alan Solano The first half of Slow Demon takes some getting used to, but the pay off is DEFINITELY worth it. I can't disagree with the Lanah Hathaway suggestion. I just think Cory Henry's keyboards on Lingus are simply outrageous. It's the song that hooked my on Snarky Puppy. But, again. I can't disagree with your choices.
Damn, a metal band I've never checked out? So glad I subscribed to this channel. And of course, all the hip/hop and R&B stuff I'd never have found on my own, that's cool too. ;)
I think we'll get em to do it sooner than later. I'm seeing a few people commenting TFN each video. Excited for the day I see it pop up in the sub box.
If you want something kinda like Jinjer listen to The Agonist- Thank you, Pain(Her clean vocals and her growls on this song are amazing), which is Alissa's old band before she was recruited for vocal duty for Arch Enemy. Also keep up the amazing work you two. Legit my favorite reaction channel of all time no one beats your two!
BTW if you want to be impressed with clean vs growl (male) vocals, try anything off of Scar Symmetry's Pitch Black Progress or Holographic Universe albums. Their vocalist has one of the most impressive combinations of both singing styles out there.
You guys are great!! I love seeing people give all kinds of music a chance. If I could recommend anything, it would be Queen live at Wembley stadium. That was incredible to watch him hold the audience in the palm of his hand. I would start with the song One Vision, which they open with, but you should also check out Freddie Mercury's vocal improv with the crowd. Amazing stuff. Keep up the good work. I'm loving it from St. Louis!
Dont do any other Arch Enemy song but Enemy Within. That was the first album they did with a female singer. Angela was the original female groweler. Plus the guitars will blow you away. Opeth - funeral portrait
Great review/reaction guys! Love Jinjer and I Speak Astronomy is one of their best works to date. Hope you make a video with some DEATH songs. Chuck Schuldiner was a legend.
Congratulations on 300K, now it’s time for King’s X. - Dogman - Over My Head - We Were Born To Be Loved Other bands - King’s X, Faith No More, Jane’s Addiction, and Queensryche
How often does a band come along where a listener can sit down and enjoy a song for each person's performance? Some bands have a great singer, some a great guitarist, etc. But I really am impressed by everyone in this group.
The outro riff in Remembrance is woooooow Theres a live version of Backbone somewhere on Tube with the outro played AFTER Backbones amazing outro. Too much amazingness to contain
TheArbiterOfTruth true but they are a band that doesn't really fit in to any genre as they take influences from everywhere every album sounds different but always sounds like muse i think it would be good for Ryan and George to react to.
JINJER? Boys if you did these guys, you have to do Twelve Foot Ninja damn it!!!!! 'I'am Coming For You', 'One Hand Killing' or even 'Sick' and the videos are hilarious. Comon lads your killing me....react to this Aussie band for me...pleeeeaaase
Look at you guys, all grown up and referencing Rush on the fly (he said patronizingly). 😂😂😂 Seriously, though, great reaction!
was gonna say, +10000 for the rush reference, love yall
Lmao, remember when most heavy stuff gave them the wrong kind of stank face?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
The important feature is that this is not just an incredible female singer with a band behind. This is an incredible band as a whole! All musicians are so talented that everything is pretty well balanced! I discovered Jinjer thanks to your reaction channel with your Pisces video, and now I can't wait for their next album! You guys make possible that metalheads discover other metal bands and become new fans of these bands. Thanks for it!
The bass player is just UNREAL.
MikeMetalBelgium totally agree
Hello there, i know your post is 3 years old, but, i think that although the band behind is pretty good, their singer clearly stands out. In the world of metal, i think she's a unique singer, of a level that is rarely seen. The rest of the band is good, as you find in metal. I don't mean in any way that they are average or whatever.

But in dream theater, you often see how each musician is a virtuoso. In Jinjer, i see how she is a virtuoso, with a good band.
But i also get you in the way that, for instance, Malmsteen is a virtuoso, but without a band (i don't mean his band is bad, but for many tracks, they could also be backing tracks for what they do... Cacophony for instance had jason becker and marty friedman answering to each other... RATM has all the band members really contributing to the tracks. In Malmsteen, well you have malmsteen, and some guys behind. Same for Batio. This is clearly not the case here, with jinjer. But she apears to be standing above all other band members. I would say that she stands out the same way as legends stand out in their genre :)
I wouldn't bet against Tatiana. She's got real talent.
Indeed!!!
Nice catch with the yyz Rush comparison.
the artist formally known as craig lastname Mostly the style of Djent, especially the tuning of the bass
THEY’VE COME SO FAR 😭
React to Jinjer - Who is gonna be the one (live)
YES !!!
Seriously! Their live performances are just as good!!😍😍
Please
This is a full blown METAL song, these guys might not be ready
It is a crime they still haven’t reacted to this
"Does this sound like Rush to you?"
Jesus Christ! You guys have come a loooong way lol
TesseracT - Singularity
Haken - Atlas Stone
Ghost - Cirice
King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man
Leprous - The Price
Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes
Steven Wilson - Routine
Royal Blood - Out of the Black
Yes - Roundabout
Loffeno every single one of these is a solid choice!! I'd be happy to see any of them
Another outstanding reaction. You guys have come an incredibly long way in your knowledge and ear for good metal. Always #FreeThinking cuzza you gents, Cheers 🍷
Their song "Perennial" off of their newer EP is their best song, IMO. Starts hard, slows down in the middle, then builds up to a great ending.
DO IT!!!!
Ryan McCormick yes! Amazing song
True
Every time I get an email notification saying you guys uploaded a video,I get excited like I did as a kid Christmas morning! When I see you react to Rush it’s like I got a new Tonka truck Christmas morning! 😂 thank you guys!
I definitely concur and definitely to the rock and metal ones. The love for rock and metal keeps increasing, I see it becoming their favorite genre. Nothing has the diversity that rock and metal has, so much amazing music.
Same here. Guess this is one of the few channels I can't ignore when a notification comes. Love their approach to music. :)
IRON MAIDEN - THE TROOPER
Jinjer - who is gonna be the one live!!!
holy shit yes
You guys have to give Lacuna Coil a try. Cristina Scabbia has a amazing voice and the band as a whole is very talented. Pretty sure you would like it.
hog1775 came here to say this too. They should also try Otep or Kittie.
So glad jinjer are getting the recognition they deserve. Been one of my favourite bands for a good few years so really happy there hard work is paying of and more people are getting to hear this brilliant band. Thanks guys ,great review as usual 👍🏻
Firstly, "female growlers" - hilarious, really made me laugh. Secondly, Jinjer are terrific, a real find. Finally, please react to Nightwish, any of their songs are great, but try to listen more recent songs with Floor Jansen on vocals to get a good idea of where they are now, rather than with previous vocalists. All songs are excellent, especially "live" from more recent gigs. Keep it up chaps
I'm so impressed by your YYZ reference. Good work.
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Stelios B81 yes!!!
The DVD version
Have to agree with you on Porcupine Tree. Great suggestion.
JINJER is impressive. This is an interesting reaction. Her voice really is great. This band is excellent.
Death-Lack of Comprehension!
Love you guys!!! The greatest channel of youtube!!! (Please, the next song: Creeping Death by MetallicA!!!)
Gaston Almada creeping death live in Moscow
Please 🙏
Jinjer Who's gonna be the one live is one of theirs best videos and you guys can really see her true potential live.
IRON MAIDEN - THE TROOPER. Great song
Sleep - Dragonaut
Smooth metal that will make you feel like a badass listening to it. I think you guys will like this one.
Dragonaut, Aquarian, or Holy Mountain.
You guys are so solid. You're crazy fair and respectful the artists, the subscribers and the music.
FEAR FACTORY - Self Bias Resistor . I seriously don't understand why this isn't recommended more and hasn't be done yet. It almost should have been one of the first bands you reacted to after the classics 80s stuff. They are so decisive and influential in the turn metal has taken since the mid-90s. It seems like they don't really get the credit they deserve. Plus their sound is amazing, and seems to have been designed especially for you too. Anyways, on point reaction as usual, I agree with most of your points! Some good parts, but the music is too contrived for my tastes.
They definitely need some Fear Factory in their ears, Self Bias Resistor is a great call dude.
Personally, I am down on my knees praying beyond belief for them to do Zero Signal by Fear Factory. :P
Omg!!! That's one of my favorites
I think they should do "no one"
I’ve been requesting it for months now
Death-Crystal Mountain!
Congrats on the 300,000! Subs.... Ya'll rock, remember this moment came in with Jinjer ;)
Great video guys. That second half of the song was indeed great. I don't know if anyone has suggested it previously, but I think that you should give a listen to Porcupine Tree. A lot of newer bands with prog elements have been greatly influenced by them. I would suggest either "The sound of Muzak" or "Blackest Eyes".
I highly recommend Amon Amarth. It's melodic death metal or commonly known as "viking metal". Some great songs are Raise your Horns, Guardians of Asgaard, or At Dawn's First Light.
Seriously...Twilight of the Thunder God...In Pursuit of Vikings,....With Oden by Ourside!
Viking Metal isn't really an actual genre though. People call Amon Amarth "Viking Metal" based on their lyrical themes. They are pretty good though.
Will Pike I know that, you know that, but the layman doesn't
YALL BREAKING INTO YYZ IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS AMAZING
TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). You guys are gonna kick yourselves for not checking TesseracT sooner! Old stuff and new stuff always KILLS!
Agreed
I've been trying to get them to check them out for awhile. Textures, Haken, and Periphery b too.
Tesseract is a great call. "Of Mind-Nocturne" best song they have
Hellyeah
Agree - Deception or Nocturne if you had to choose.
Machine Head - Davidian
Wow! Im gonna check this band out.. what a voice!!
PANIC ATTACK by DREAM THEATER
Rainbow - Stargazer
I am a year long fan here and the Ne Obliviscaris Of Plagueflowers and the Kaleidoscope song was my favorite review of yours. This is what introduced me to one of the most masterful pieces of art I've ever heard. Thank you. Ever since that i promised myself that i would never miss this band live if they came near me.

They are ever growing in their presence within the metal community and one day will be revered as one of the best in modern metal for it is an ever evolving genre.
In Flames - Moonshield
oddoni heh! That’s an old goodie. 👍 but I prefer Jotun.
Both are great but Jotun is more uptempo and a better choice imo
Yes Jotun!
Death - The Philosopher/ Overactive Imagination/ Symbolic
LOST IN VEGAS YOU RULE! First things First: You two dudes ROCK! I appreciate your willingness and open-mindedness to honestly listen through music genres that may not be in your comfort zones.
Second: You guys are truly genuine and FUNNY in your reactions; like Comedy funny and I do appreciate that.
Third: You obviously know a lot about different musical genres and can pull things from various contexts and identify it in heavy metal tracks which is very cool. (IE. The Rush YYZ connection to Jinjer’s I Speak Astronomy).
LAST: As an old guy and long-time hard rock/heavy metal guitar player and music FAN of many music genres; I have 2 bands/videos for you to do reactions to because I see you guys love Tatiana from Jinjer and you see her as the best female metal singer today (I happen to agree):
Here are the only two real challengers:
1) Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy’s’ original singer) Video Reaction - ARCH ENEMY: MY APOCALYPSE
2) Lauren Hart - Once Human - ONCE HUMAN: EYE OF CHAOS
Those 2 bands and those two specific tracks are right in your wheelhouse. Knock it out the Park, guys!
Insomnium - While We Sleep (CMOOOOON)
Blind Guardian = Imaginations From The Other Side
Nightwish = Ghost Love Score
Amon Amarth-Twilight of the thunder god
Baby Metal-Chocolate (would be funny)
CptJUDO J not chocolate, Distortion, much better.
Na gotta make it KARATE.
I think they would like Choko(lot), but it would mess them up on “what is considered metal”.
Arch Enemy- Nemesis
If you want to hear more female metal vocalists
Alyssa was better with the agonist. :)
MaddDogg316 I definitely prefer the Angela Gossow iteration of the band
Yes! I suggested that too
Yes Arch Enemy!! or how about some Straight Line Stitch for them?
Still would love In Flames and Opeth's Damnation album. I'll keep suggesting it until the end of time.
Another great video guys.
Please guys react to Alcest’s song Oiseaux de Proie. I know you guys would absolutely love it. It’s so beautiful and atmospheric and Neige’s voice is so amazing. I think that song would really open a whole new side to metal for you guys, the side of metal with beautiful melodies and atmosphere which is the side of metal I’m drawn to the most. I think you guys would absolutely love Alcest and I honestly can’t recommend their song Oiseaux de Proie enough times to you. It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life and I’d honestly call it perfect
Jordan Posts I love that song! Aah Alcest
Alcest is amazing. One of my fav bands
Deftones - Passenger
Would be fucking great \m/
They already did jt
Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror
I would kill to see them check out Blind Guardian. Such special special songwriters.
You have to watch ABSOLUTELY Jinjer live at resurrection fest 2018!! THEY ARE AMAZING!!!
*DEATH - Symbolic*
Symbolic or Crystal Mountain
Would be a delight.
So first off, congratulations on reaching a milestone in metal nerd-dom by identifying the YYZ similarity. I mean you guys didn't even hesitate, you had YYZ in your head. You can now hang out behind the 7-11 in rural michigan, with all rights and permissions therein. Jay and Silent Bob have given the nod, I'm sure.
Secondly, ya'll HAVE to let the song breath a bit and not interrupt them SO much. I know you are juggling copyright laws but sometimes I feel as though you can't get into a song properly if you interrupt it mid-verse (sometimes mid-verse sentence!) to make some comment. Let the song live a LITTLE before opening yer yap :P
That said, keep doing what you're doing, I look forward to your videos every week.
Well breaking down songs is their specialty but ya
I agree
LOL as someone who has spent many days loitering behind a 7-11 in rural Michigan I appreciate this comment.
i had the same thought. they are drawing from other rock and metal bands now because of their knowledge of the genres. hell yeah LIV
That is kinda the thing though... they react to it, just watch the original video if you want the flow.
Another awesome reaction you guys put a smile on my face. Down to earth. Keep it real.
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive
Ivaylo Iliev yes please
One of my favourite Deftones tunes.
I'm going to be completely honest I have tried to listen to this band several times and just can't get into it. But, I do appreciate the vocals and the musicianship. Thanks for the exposure to all genres and the honest reactions. For all you Fans rock on🤘
Sandy Lewis same here. I don't feel it. They are immensely talented but it's just too much chaos, doesn't flow very well.
Jason G well said......for me that's it exactly
You have to see them live. That will change your mind. Their shows are absolutely amazing
Sandy Lewis I'm in agreement. I didn't catch the first reaction, and I'm not familiar with the band. While all the pieces are great here, it might take me a few listens to really appreciate. I love clean vocals and am down with growls, but I'll have to catch a live video to see that this wasn't studio magic.
Also, I think I would've had a more positive initial reaction if I wasn't seeing the video. I enjoyed parts of it (the sci-fi fan in me), but I think something about how the growls were shown was a bit annoying.

Death Symbolic or anything from that album, it is really much more accessible then any of their others. And if you want an Arch Enemy song enemy within is fantastic.
Stevie Ray Vaughan guys. Anything’s a good choice, but Texas Flood and Little Wing are a couple favorites. Fantastic guitar player.
Great idea. :) Pride & Joy would be a great choice too.
Ripplin For Sure.
I LOVE that you referenced "YYZ" by Rush!!! Neil Peart is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time! I just love your reactions and sometimes come back and watch them over and over...thanks for being so entertaining! I love sharing your channel with others and seeing their reaction to you guys...
Nevermore - "This Godless Endeavor" , pls
Arch Enemy - "Nemesis" for their "golden age" singer Angela Goßow who chews steel for breakfast
Or Arch Enemy - “Nemesis Live at Wacken 16” from their live DVD (it is up on TH-cam on their record label channel) to get their best song and their new singer and guitarist. You also get to see arguably the biggest festival in metal.
Arch Enemy - "The World is Yours" featuring the new singer Alisa who is really good but not quite as gruff as Angela, and sorry for being shallow, just smoking hot. Like pretty much every metal dude's wet dream.
I second the Nevermore suggestion.
I think Alisa is better
mikepshena I personally prefer her too. I just know a lot of Arch Enemy fans go nuts if you don't bow at the altar of Angela haha
BassasaurusRex ha fans are weird. Angela is my favorite just because that's when I was listening to them and seeing them live. She's a cool person offstage. I don't know much about the new girl but the new music doesn't hold my interest. Mad respect for the whole band past and present, they are very talented.
machine head-halo!

Twelve Foot Ninja - One Hand Killing (I really think you'll love this)
TWELVE FOOT NINJA - Coming For You (with video clip).....you guys would LOVE IT!!!! :-) WE would love it :-D lol and I will try and put this on as many vidz as i can so that everyone else can like and comment on it and hopefully you see it.... :-D
Obscure Karaoke I’ve been doing the same thing! I think they will really dig the groove they got. But.. I think the video will put them off the song a bit, maybe just the audio first, then the video lol.
I've been asking for One Hand Killing for at least a month now. Really hope they get round to doing it!
Hell yeah I watched all of their rock/metal related vids and some other and I'm pretty sure they would find that alot of fun :)
"One Hand Killing" for best song, "Ain't that a bitch" for most entertaining video, "Sick" for a blend of the two. Make it happeeeeen
Maybe they've been too busy...
Congrats on 300,000 Subscribers Fellas!!!! NICE!!!!
I would really like to see you guys do some Soilwork or In Flames. These bands are from Sweden and have amazing music.
Mitch Berg They will LOVE In Flames' The Quiet Place
I've suggested the live version of The Chosen Pessimist. We'll see if they do it.
Yeah there is a pile of songs from each band that are amazing. Being around for 20 years will allow for that. Hopefully they give melodic death metal a chance.
Dark Tranquility definately has some ambient mood that ain't too harsh for hip-hop heads. In Flames in general took that Sweedish Melodic Death Metal sound and insfused it with singing and song structure taken from pop music. If they liked Trivium, they will definately Melodic Death Metal. In Flame's earlier stuff is a lot darker, and a lot heavier, but Soundtrack to your escape is among In Flames most pop-like albums. I remember back in high-school, a lot of kids were judging me for my taste in metal, and I used to get picked on. Then later I became more sociable, and became more cool, so some of those kids who were primarily influenced by hip-hop started showing interest in me, and the things I liked. That's a reason why I enjoy Ryan and George's reviews. Ryan and George are the typical popular kids who listen to whatever's popular. And then they review Metal and classic Rock.
Basically my hip-hop minded friend at the time really enjoyed The Quiet Place, so from experience I can guarantee that it's a good metal song to sell metal and melodic death metal to a non-metalhead
The chosen pessimist is a freaking good song. Tho personally it gets me moody. And I think that Ryan and George are more into grooves and rhythm, rather than sometime more dreamy and moody
Would love to see a reaction to Ghost, you won't be disappointed my dudes :D
I have got to thank this channel for putting me onto some new music. I had never heard of this band before I saw your reviews, but now I'm hooked and I can't get off. Major props to y'all.
If I can make a request, the next time y'all are looking for some country music, it would be cool if y'all could review Martina McBride- "Independence Day." I know you liked the last Martina song you listened to, but when it comes to '90s country, "Independence Day" is near the top if not the pinnacle. If you do end up doing it, I recommend the video; it's really powerful.
RAMMSTEIN - SONNE
They would love this one
I approve!
Jason yep
personally Feuer Frei or Ich Will would be good. Side note... it seems like i cant find Zwitter..... anyone else having this problem?
Divine_Darkness
Can't find the whole Liebe ist fur alle da album either
Twelve Foot Ninja - One Hand Killing
My god, I have been watching you guys for 8 F'n hours now! JUST discovered this channel today and thanks for all the good content. I hate to make another request as there are sooo many just in this thread alone that I would love to see....Mudvayne - Dig, Queensrÿche-Empire, and so on and so on....but on the subject of bands with girls I have to suggest Kittie - Brackish.
Another great reaction, fellas. You bring the real with each video you do. I admit I'm not a big fan of the growling, but Jinjer somehow makes it palatable. Part of it is her actual singing voice, which is aces.
I'd like to see you react to Lingus by Snarky Puppy. You've done a LOT of different genres but not too much jazz. I think this is a good one to react to.
Stuart Taft lingus or slow demon.....or Something w/ lanah hathaway
Alan Solano The first half of Slow Demon takes some getting used to, but the pay off is DEFINITELY worth it. I can't disagree with the Lanah Hathaway suggestion. I just think Cory Henry's keyboards on Lingus are simply outrageous. It's the song that hooked my on Snarky Puppy. But, again. I can't disagree with your choices.
yessssss i'd love to see em do snarky
Ghost - Cirice music video
The live version is very impressive. She kills it LIVE!
Pantera - domination live in Moscow
This
Opeth - Demon of the Fall
One of their most straightforward songs and a true live staple. Absolute banger of a song.
DEMON!!!!!!! DEMON OF THE FAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@DomIstKrieg run away, run aaaaaaway
Damn, a metal band I've never checked out? So glad I subscribed to this channel. And of course, all the hip/hop and R&B stuff I'd never have found on my own, that's cool too. ;)
TWELVE FOOT NINJA- one hand killing! video review
PLEASE GUYS. this is the best video for you to review, probably of all time. you're not too busy to hit this one, don't sleep on it dudes!
I think we'll get em to do it sooner than later. I'm seeing a few people commenting TFN each video. Excited for the day I see it pop up in the sub box.
Agreed! Personally I think coming for you is a better place to start, but I like all of TFN stuff, so I’ll be pumped up for any review their tracks!
They've been busy though...
React to Ghost!
CIRICE!!!! Or Year Zero
Cirice for sure
CONGRATULATIONS ON 300K subs. Just dont quit your jobs. right on. keep it going
If you want something kinda like Jinjer listen to The Agonist- Thank you, Pain(Her clean vocals and her growls on this song are amazing), which is Alissa's old band before she was recruited for vocal duty for Arch Enemy. Also keep up the amazing work you two. Legit my favorite reaction channel of all time no one beats your two!
BTW if you want to be impressed with clean vs growl (male) vocals, try anything off of Scar Symmetry's Pitch Black Progress or Holographic Universe albums. Their vocalist has one of the most impressive combinations of both singing styles out there.
Totally That album. They would greatly enjoy The Illusionist.
You guys are great!! I love seeing people give all kinds of music a chance. If I could recommend anything, it would be Queen live at Wembley stadium. That was incredible to watch him hold the audience in the palm of his hand. I would start with the song One Vision, which they open with, but you should also check out Freddie Mercury's vocal improv with the crowd. Amazing stuff. Keep up the good work. I'm loving it from St. Louis!
Pantera Domination live moscow video !!!!!!!!!!
I clicked so fuckin fast on this 😂
egyptmachine same lol
Me too!
I clicked at a normal speed
IsoscelesKramer1 😂
The rush comparison was spot on considering they went for a prog sound for this song
Keep telling it like it is!
Sleep - Dragonaut, please!
Dont do any other Arch Enemy song but Enemy Within. That was the first album they did with a female singer. Angela was the original female groweler. Plus the guitars will blow you away.
Opeth - funeral portrait
Great review/reaction guys! Love Jinjer and I Speak Astronomy is one of their best works to date. Hope you make a video with some DEATH songs. Chuck Schuldiner was a legend.
Persefone - Living Waves
Out Break 470 :v Yes
That would be wonderful, it's such an incredible track
Holy shit, wasn't expecting to see anyone request Persefone. Great stuff from those guys.
Out Break 470 :v +1
Twelve Foot Ninja - One Hand Killing video reaction please!!! “Have you been busy mate?”
Steven Wilcox a busy little beaver!!!
Steven Wilcox I've been busier than a cat.....
Yes please
Congratulations on 300K, now it’s time for King’s X.
- Dogman
- Over My Head
- We Were Born To Be Loved
Other bands - King’s X, Faith No More, Jane’s Addiction, and Queensryche
A Perfect Circle - The Doomed
blitz34 YES. Or any APC song really. Pet, Passive, The Outsider, By and Down, Weak and Powerless, etc.
The Memed
Please do *Stargazer by Rainbow* , you will not regret it!
How often does a band come along where a listener can sit down and enjoy a song for each person's performance? Some bands have a great singer, some a great guitarist, etc. But I really am impressed by everyone in this group.
Parkway Drive - Swing
Fear Factory - Replica
12 Foot Ninja - One Hand Killing
Machine Head - Imperium
Tool - The Pot
PLEASE!
I second twelve foot ninja... Coming for You or One Hang Killing
100% agree with Fear Factory
Frog leap studios. Metal covers of different songs you’d never think someone would do with comedy mixed in. The guy is really damn good
Muse-Plug in baby
or Gojira-Remembrance
Or A7X-Won't see you tonight part 2
The outro riff in Remembrance is woooooow
Theres a live version of Backbone somewhere on Tube with the outro played AFTER Backbones amazing outro. Too much amazingness to contain
You guys mentioned my two favorite Gojira tracks - Remembrance and Backbone. Wish they would play Remembrance live.
Muse is amazing, but they aren’t metal haha
TheArbiterOfTruth true but they are a band that doesn't really fit in to any genre as they take influences from everywhere every album sounds different but always sounds like muse i think it would be good for Ryan and George to react to.
Remembrance would be insane
JINJER? Boys if you did these guys, you have to do Twelve Foot Ninja damn it!!!!! 'I'am Coming For You', 'One Hand Killing' or even 'Sick' and the videos are hilarious. Comon lads your killing me....react to this Aussie band for me...pleeeeaaase
It's coming soon. I can feel it.
Twilight of the Thunder God - Amon Amarth
Jinjer is touring the states right now. You guys should go check 'em out. Amazing live!
Vektor recharging the void
