P.O.D. "Alive" - The Decomposer Lounge (Reaction and Breakdown)
![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
saw them live in Portland back in the day. a girl was hurt in the crowd. the singer stopped the show mid song to get her help. while we waited for paramedics(she was unconscious), the band stood with the whole crowd and held hands up and out over her and prayed. the singer spoke of love and taking care of each other. only after the girl had been attended to and taken away did the praying stop and show continue. im not religious in any way. but, the humanity displayed was awe inspiring. mad respect for these guys.
Was there and true story!
Amazing. This is why I respect them behind their music even though I'm not religious.
Sonny and the guys are so cool!
meanwhile travis scott just continues to perform while people literally died in the crowd
That is the difference between kind compassionate Christ Followers and evil narcissistic Satan followers my brother 🙏 God bless you 🙏
"Southtown" is my personal fav
In the south town u know that kid don't play
Amen brotha!!! One of the best is Southtown
P.O.D. means "payable on death" and is a reference to the soul. They're Christian rockers.
It's also a pun on Payable on Delivery, which is what POD normally stands for
A Christian rock band that toured with Snoop Dogg, pretty cool
Sonny, the lead singer is such a great dude! I'm a Warrior from way back!
Probably one of the best examples of *how* to be Christian rockers too. Humble guys that make good music that happens to talk about their faith a lot. They do a really good job inviting in and not alienating people who may not be believers themselves.
@@trottingfoxinc I agree!
Payable on Death..
The album Satellite was one of my fav albums 20 years ago. Youth of the Nation is awesome.
Did you say 20 yrs ago?!
@@kevinburge5266 yes, Satellite (album) is released in 2001, so 20 years old and it's still 🔥
Sonny Sandoval’s life background serves interesting. His mom dying of cancer, he found faith, his cousin Wuv the drummer.. all this So-Cal San Diego community culture.. they eventually found this calling to get to music and sharing their values through those personal moments, and etc. and they do that to this day though of course it’s changed over time.. musically, philosophically, spiritually.. nonetheless they remain true to their original core.
Glad you decided to check out P.O.D. The whole album Satellite is awesome. One of the few "positive" nu-metal bands.
“Payable on Death” are a Christian nu-metal/rap rock outfit. I was into them when I was 17 in 2000!
Turned 16 in 2000, right there with ya bro
18 in 2000: 100%. Cut my hair short, bleached it yellow (only time) & had POD in the back of my head 🤘🤘
The Last Baron - Mastodon
Pls make it happen \m/
That song is amazing!!
Thanks. Now I have to listen to it because it’s been awhile.
YES! I'm surprised there hasn't been more Mastodon on here already.
@@justtryingthings425 Geebz promised it but never came back to them
he will love it
I remember Alive hit the scene right around when 9/11 happened and it was #1 on MTV's TRL for quite awhile and rightly so. It has a great sound and the positive message was something America really needed at the time. Despite only really follow P.O.D. through their Southtown and Satellite albums; this song, the timing of it's release, and the impact it had at that time will always stand out for me.
Thanks for reacting to it. Hadn't heard it in quite awhile!
It was released on the actual day the towers fell! This is what many needed to hear on that day.
I was old enough to be into P.O.D. and remember where I was that day, but nowhere near old enough to have put all that together at the time...wow...
I remember feeling weird going to the record store in the afternoon of Sept 11 to buy the album, as if I was doing something wrong by doing something so mundane as buying a CD. I'm in Canada.
This is slowly becoming my favorite channel. Love the hard work. Looking forward to watch you react and analyze Euology by TOOL soon
I love POD. Before they became a huge success they played at my church in Portland, Oregon. I met the band and they gave me a copy of this album on cassette. Good times.
I was a big fan in the early 2000s. In fact, my neighbor was in the music video for the song Boom (the white dude in the grey suit at beginning).
P.O.D has quite a few awesome tracks, this being one of them!
Great choice, Geebz! This album was produced by Howard Benson, who is an amazing producer. He has a way to make all his projects radio friendly, and he is PROLIFIC. Scan his producing credits on wiki, and see how many hit albums he's produced, especially in the early 2000's. He's great, and so are you, dude! Aloha...🤙
Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession
Please and thanks you.🙏🤞🦥😀
Yes
This is one of the few rock CDs that could push my home system's super bass to its limits.
I have followed P.O.D. from the beginning, when they were playing tiny shows with 25 people there in the late 90s. I was on their promotion team for a while, leaving stacks of stickers and such at record stores, when they still existed. I think "The Messenjah" is my favorite track from the Satellite album. I'm also a big fan of "Anything Right" featuring Christian Lindskog of Blindside, another Christian rock/metal band. I saw them live in DC for their first post-9/11 show. It was sobering driving past the Pentagon with the huge flag still draped over the hole where the plane hit. It made the show more meaningful. I stayed after, hoping to talk to Sonny and thank him for writing one of their first songs, "Full Color," about losing his mom, since I'd also recently lost my mom. We had a chain link fence between us, but I did get to talk to him. I saw them again in 2002 at a festival concert and they recorded the music video for the song "Satellite."
Yesss The Messenjah and Anything Right! Also Mark My Words.
Ah!
The hometown boys from San Diego Ca.
Payable On Death. A great group of guys always giving back 🙏
Ran into the drummer at a Deftones Concert Great guy Chill Laid back.
one of the best rock songs of the year it came out. guaranteed.
Hello there. Just want to say thank you for doing these reaction videos. Im fairly new here, and I’m loving the way you explain what we are listening to. Please keep on rockin us out!!!
"Alive" was the first single off Satellite, and it was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.
It would be great if you continued your Tool expedition mr. Geebz!!
Yay! More P.O.D. please! Everyone does Youth of a Nation but there are so many more interesting tracks (musically).
Youth of the Nation is a great song. The guitar and bass are haunting.
Big fan of Satellite
Fundamentals of Southtown for certain
The newest album was really good (Circles) imo
As a Jew, I approve this song choice. Lol.
Loved P.O.D. and also Flyleaf, about a decade ago, and they still have a warm place in my heart.
P.s. this version is really weird, or just different from the one I'm familiar with
Omg right in the feels! Haven't heard this in ages and it still hit me the same as when I first heard it 20 years ago! I'd love to hear you rinse on "Youth of a nation"
I’m also a huge fan of their title track “Satellite.” Would love to see your take on that one!
Classic P.O.D. track. Not overtly Christian with its message, but a great Christian rock track nonetheless. I recommend you listening/reacting to their song “Goodbye For Now.” Katy Perry makes a random appearance in that song towards the end.
👍
Ah yes back in the Kate Hudson days
They also do a cover of U2's Bullet the Blue Sky which is incredible
Man you consistently have the best choice in songs to react to, both ones I know and don't know but if we are talking about the "soundtrack of life", man does this song really make me think of nothing but jovial childhood. I think the earliest age that I could take in lyrics and sing them back I was singing nothing but this and lenny kravitz - I believe I can fly lol. Thanks for this throwback and once again an amazing breakdown of what you're hearing!
If you're going to react to POD it should be Southtown. That was the jam that made their career. I remember the first time I heard it back when that show Farmclub was on the air with Ali Landry as a host. 🤤
The track that comes after it (Lie Down) on the album The Fundamental Elements of Southtown is so much heavier than it has any right to be.
Really great to be here so early, I've been enjoying your videos a lot lately! Haven't heard this song in a while, but it's always a good one. Thank you Geebz!
The bottom end is indeed pretty juicy, to answer your question
They are going on tour soon and that album turned 20years. They played 3 online shows this month and played this album front to back.
this takes me back to high school
I got 3 recommendations!!
1. Periphery Satellites
2. TesseracT Of Mind - Nocturn
3. Plini - Electric Sunrise
Have fun!!
Amazing late 90s, early 2000s band. Arguably the most positive and enlightening nu metal band. The talent isn't strong persay, but they had passion and that happened to be enough for POD
Yeah, this is the CLA remix and you can absolutely tell. He loves to push his mixes as wide as possible. You can tell in the chorus just how wide it is and I love how it opens up the entire song. I also appreciate how much of the room mics are in the mix.
Payable on Death. A great band from the San Diego area. I used to attend the same church as the lead singer Sonny did.
Gotta check out their songs “Youth of the Nation”, “Southtown”, and “Boom” too
Payable On Death are a great band 🤘🏻
Youth of a Nation: Absolutely
@@Ben_Demon_Hunter Thirding that
“Strength of my life” by them is amazing they collaborate with matisyahu the vocals near the end is breath taking. It is on their album testify
Going with the deep cuts huh? Reaction comments are always people suggesting all the singles, "little known/fun facts" that everybody knows, " I'm a 4 months old/ 89 year old ( enter race and type that is the complete opposite of the fan base) and I love...." and lyrics that are wrong.
@@FURTHER_ADO WOW, people talk about music? What a shock. And suggest to start of with the songs that the bands themselves chose for people to start with? Strange concept. I love Tribal, School of Hard Knocks, and Preach too. But those aren’t the best songs to start off on. Same reason Change and Passenger are usually suggested to start off with on Deftones discography, when they have much better songs imho. Minerva, Rosemary, Cherry Waves, Pink Cellphone for example. How bad must your life suck that people enjoying things bothers you?
Nice one Geebz! This was one of POD's biggest Radio singles so you're not wrong. I quite enjoy their song "Boom" if you ever get back round to them. Cheers 🤟
"Sleeping awake" from P.O.D is great. The bassline in the bridge is magnetic!
Ooh, you’re doing POD. The instruments on “Rock the Party” are sure to please you. Much love.
We came here to rock this jam!
Lastly yes thank you for kudos on the engineering, as a digitalaudio engineering graduate from a jr college people in that role deserve credit and they had a great engineer for this. That of course lands him/her some credit in the process 🤘
You are 100% on the kick. It has a heart beat that pumps to all left, center and right. With the guitar, there are tons of reverb and wa. The stereo aspect is super thick and juicy.
Hey GeebZ 🤙 thanks for all the great content brightening our lives 😎 I'm still waiting on another Epic Tool reaction and I remembered you asked, is there a Tool song that Danny really gets them kick drums goin? Yes! So you reacted to the middle song of a three part piece a while ago. Well me and the rest of the Tool Army would love to see your reaction to Triad, the third part of the piece. The whole song is very Tribal, as you said and as always, love life.
Aloha Nate :) Dropping another TOOL on Friday. AWWWRIGHT!!
@@KeyOfGeebz Haha! Fantastic Bro!
@@KeyOfGeebz 29:34 Geebz- " So you have these four Masterful Musicians that are able to Intricately Weave a Track for us Mere Mortals." 🤣 Best Quote ever!!!
Pod has been one of my favorite bands since their brown album. They have an amazing discography
I was a HUGE P.O.D. fan back in the day (still listen to them some). Alive is not my favorite song but it is good and their first big hit so it was a good starting point for you. They are genre benders so you'd have to listen to a lot of songs to get the full experience. They have a bunch of albums but I always stick to their 1999-2008 material (The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, Satellite, Payable on Death, Testify, and When Angels and Serpents Dance (though that last one isn't on Spotify for some reason). Anyway, other suggestions would be:
Southtown (aggressive nu metal) open.spotify.com/track/5tJjQIhH6mH3PhG1DjW3gD?si=f93e48c969964e7e
Bullet to Blue Sky (yes a U2 cover) (not sure what genre to call this one) open.spotify.com/track/5BF8EgFap9pLtSnINN3Ah4?si=a44d2da7dc0f455f
Anything Right (screamo) open.spotify.com/track/7p6TK2Pum5hWU8Ch0gHvLX?si=639030e2cc4d416d
Thinking About Forever (alternative rock) open.spotify.com/track/4wRYGPg8XIf4WscYLygfkF?si=10de5257950d4cc0
Revolution open.spotify.com/track/2f5tbUaM4IrFDyBuf61afK?si=cb68a756a8e648cf
Mark My Words open.spotify.com/track/2uYKb4m8DQ71JOq2GitTah?si=06fc1571b87b46ba
Roots in Stereo (hip hop) open.spotify.com/track/41WwJd8ZzllMdQQqp11e6D?si=9adcab922eb84b3a
Payable on Death is actually a banking term, and that is where they got it from. Love the videos! Definitely need to do Satellite next!
This song changed my life.
Can't stop looking at that turtle on the background. Great reaction as always.
Total post-punk skateboarding jam!!
I believe P.o.D. was for "Payable on Death" Mr Geebz.
Yep! They're Christian. One of the Christian rock/metal bands I still really like listening to.
@@MrHunterbuchanan There's a few christian bands that have made a handful of decent songs. Demon Hunter, Skillet and Crowbar, to name a few more.
@@DefectivePieceofChalk Switchfoot, Sevendust, Chevelle. Are some Christian artists that were on Christian labels but went to mainstream labels and a sonme of Christian people who stopped listening to them because they left Christian labels.
@@DefectivePieceofChalk Crowbar is Christian rock?? As in the band from New Orleans?
@@DefectivePieceofChalk have you heard Fit for a king? They are a Christian metal band and amazing. Check em out
I think the wide bottom end was really en vogue for this style of music production at the time
I was obsessed with this song and band at 13
Aloha Geebz! If you get a chance, you should review/decompose some tracks from ZAO (pronounced Zay-O). They've been around since '94 or '95, with their current vocalist since '98 (and have had a ton of lineup changes over the years). They're not as big as some of the other bands on the channel, but have been a big part of the soundtrack of my life since I was 13 or 14 (I'm almost 34 now). They just put out their 12th studio album last month and are still sounding as great as ever.
You should check out the tracks 'Haunting Pools' or 'Apocalypse' from their 2016 album, 'Croatoan', 'R.I.P.W.', or 'Creator/Destroyer' from their new album, or 'Truly, Truly, This Is The End' from 2006. Loving the channel and enjoying watching you discover new bands/music!
Day of Baphomets by Mars Volta. No radio edits! Mythical bass solo intro!
P.O.D. - Eternal. It's very different from the other music and purely instrumental but definitely the peak of their instrument playing and composing. If it were longer it would serve as perfect ambient music to lift spirits as well.
The summer of 2001 was this whole album, I was in middle school, just hanging out in the park with friends, skate boarding lol
This album was my childhood man, finally saw them live in 2018 and it was so sweet. Such an underrated group. For amazing guitar arrangements by this band, listen to the track "Eternal" from the album Payable On Death. Fantastic acoustic/electrical instrumental journey. Would love to see and hear your interpretations and breakdowns of that song.
Yeah, if you dig their sound, listen to Southtown, massive production.
Oh man glad you did a POD song ! Even if they did more interesting songs imo. Hope you will dig more of their songs of this record. I really think you will find some interesting stuff there :)
"Eternal" is also a great song by these guys. It's really chilled out, and one of my go to songs when I want/need to calm down or am in a chilled out mood.
I’ve never heard this song in it’s entirety, but I have vague memories of hearing the hook in a “Now That’s What I Call Music” commercial in the early 2000s when I was like 7 or 8 back when albums were actually advertised on television. This song has a strange nostalgic feeling for me even though I barely have a connection with it.

Youth of the Nation by them
Check out 3!
And yes, the band's name is just "3". They're a prog/metal/rock group out of NY that isn't too well known, but they do some really great stuff. Vaguely similar to Coheed and Cambria (probably because there's a family connection? 3's front man and C&C's drummer are brothers). Unfortunately the name makes them a pain to google, but here's their site:
theband3.com
Best tracks to start with:
The Word Is Born Of Flame/The End Is Begun
( th-cam.com/video/rJZYCSEs2g8/w-d-xo.html )
Only Child
( th-cam.com/video/5YwmOk59f-E/w-d-xo.html )
Amaze Disgrace
( th-cam.com/video/ff_-op_eNNI/w-d-xo.html )
such an obscure/underrated band. wake pig was my favorite album. Even the album structure was amazing. the songs "wake pig" into "bramfatura" and then into "trust" i could listen to on an endless loop. and the lyricism really shined with this band. truly an unheard gem to most i would imagine.
I fell off my bike just now, coming home from school. My chain slipped out of gear and at the same time my bike lock, which has a velcro strap on it, got caught in the front wheel.
Now I've got two bloody elbows, but damn I certainly feel alive lol
And you made it here
Alive
A new band worth checking out, Dirty Honey and their song “Rolling 7’s”!!
Just checked it out; reminds me of Guns and Roses mixed with Zepplin and Motley Crew
I want to say at some point of time in the last 20yrs that I caught a P.O.D. song on a TV commercial, but I don't recall what the commercial was and if it was this or "Youth of a Nation." Just one of those half-thoughts nudging at the back of my brain when you said the hook sounded vaguely familiar.
RECS: Anything from the first American Head Charge album 'The War of Art', and anything by Faith No More (Singer, Mike Patton of Mr. Bungle Fame)
ERRA - Snowblood or Skyline
Veil of Maya - Mikasa or Outsider
“Satellite” is my favorite track from that album. Very underrated band!
Geebz - my Birthday today - all
I want is another Radiohead reaction - daydreaming - National Anthem, climbing up the walls, the numbers … any
Will do! Just Radiohead!
Ahhh, right in the childhood... South Town was my jam 👍
Youth of the nation is a great one too.. a very in depth song on the underdog youth and what they had to deal and live with as youth when that song was out
Finally! someone does POD. next do Southtown, Boom, Beautiful. all of them.. lol
Hello geebz.. It's time to check out, Cynic - Veil of Maya... 🎶🎶
Yes! And every song from Focus and Traced in Air, too
I second that.
That new LORNA SHORE!! Haha you'll have fun, I promise😈😈
This is the perfect time to jump into Fire From the Gods. Check out They Don't Like It featuring Sonny from P.O.D.
You do music so well send some sun to Seattle. We have great coffee for any sun you can give love ya
I like how you always pick up on the single thing. Im pretty sure this was their first song on the radio. I'd love to see you react to He Is Legend - Dinner with a Gypsy, i think you'll enjoy.
I second that. Along with their tracks "No Visitors", "Party Time!", "Trancer Dancer", "Don't Touch That Wall", and "Eating A Book"
Southtown was their first single, i think this was their third after Southtown and Youth of a Nation.
I remember this song so decided to look p.o.d up and let me tell you I was surprised with their history. 1991-92 the band starts and by 2018 are still together. I would never of guessed that they are a Christian rock band.
Southtown and satellite. Great band from back in the day.
Geebz I love you. Maybe you could do something like DJ shadow? Would be an interesting change. If you like production and less sampling you could do UNKLE - Rabbit in the headlights
@3:06 im an old de-composer... i DIED laughing... top notch joke🤣🤣👍👍👏
you should dig into Sevendust "licking cream" p.o.d stands for payable on death
Can't say it too many times, but I'd love to see a reaction to Galneryus, either Angel of salvation or Raise my sword.
Honestly, this album, Satellite, is a pretty darn good album for what it is. I recommend it. Day N^(n-1) of asking for Angel Vivaldi - A Mercurian Summer.
The garden of earthly delights by apocalypse orchestra
I'd love to hear your breakdown of a Kings Kaleidoscope song. Something like The Rush, or Higher Throne
Solid wall of sound by a tribe called quest
You've been handling some slightly older bands now. Is Strapping Young Lad anywhere on your list? I know you reacted to Devin Townsend, may be fun to take a look at the band that helped him propel to stardom. If not, some of the classics are Zen, Love?, Almost Again and the New Black, to name a few great songs.
That’s my childhood right there
Hey Geebz. You are great. If you need to just take a little time. We all love your work. The principles are achieved in you focus alone. Being we are purists. There's no doubting your opinion. I saw something. Maybe it was early. Aloha
Speaking of wall of sound, try Pete Yorn “Life on a Chain”. To my uneducated ears, that’s a great example of it with so many instruments fading in and out on what could easily be an acoustic track.
And don’t worry about subscribers dropping as you mix things up. You’re one of the most interesting “reactor” channels out there. In the long run, your numbers will keep going up.
How about checking out “Strength of My Life” from P.O.D.?? Excellent production and more interesting composition. Thanks Geebz!
Love your music breakdowns. How about you try some Pop Punk, check out a track called Overstepping by the band Belmont.
Southtown and youth of the nation are also amazing off this album
Hey Geebz! You should definitely check out COG - "The Spine". Awesome Aussie prog band. Their album The New Normal is one of my all time favourites - produced by Sylvia Massy of Tool fame
You have to hear the acoustic official version
Love the commentary on bridges here. Got me curious enough to look into the difference between a bridge and a breakdown. Interesting information. I love what these aspects add to an arrangement, and would be very excited to see you discuss these techniques in the song Popular Monster by Falling In Reverse. I believe they use them in a very unique and very affective way. But I'm just a very curious novice. Would love to hear a professional's opinion on it. :)
