Fun fact: The dad of Andrew (the drummer ) made the Drum construction ( 5:40 ) for Andrew`s leg, after he told his dad that he`d give up. Not even the best company for those thing could make a construction like this and Andrew`s Dad created the first construction like this on the world. This stuff is so inspirational. The whole story is so inspiring. Edit: thanks for the likes guys, and Alex, if you read this please react to Polaris - Hypermania or Polaris - Masochist, u wont regret it!
The videos documenting that were so cool. He started off with a golf club duct taped to the pedal! I just that’s so cool that his dad and his doctors were able to engineer something to allow him to play.
The Ghost Inside is an amazing group of dudes and if there's anyone who helped me survive when I didn't want to, it was these guys. This song is a perfect example of who they are and what they've always been about. Definitely recommend you check out songs like Engine 45, Dear Youth, Chrono, Mercy, and Test the Limits. These guys have held a special place in my heart for years and I hope you can gain something from their music like so many others have.
Mercy helped me so much when I was dealing with everything the world threw at me and it's still helping me. I got ''Life's swinging hard, but I'm swinging harder'' tattooed on me, I don't and I won't ever regret it. Such an amazing band in all ways possible. I love the fact that so many people can connect through this band and their songs.
@@boblabole1997 by far their most meaningful line to me too. My ribs say the same thing. Worth every second of it. This band has created a community of amazing people and we can all stand together and fight to win.
@@MRBigWhite57 heard them first time about a year ago after all my friends said to me that i miss some really important. DAMN they were right. I knew about the crash and everything was crumbling - i was there for my friends and damn this song is fucking now hard with me... it came out on my Grandpas 70s birthday... one day after my Grandma just passed away and now i really love and hate this song, its such a great song but it will remind me of so much up and down in this few days...
I count myself to the lucky bunch who were able to see TGI live before their accident - and even then the whole crowd kept singing the chorus of the song _Engine 45_ even minutes after the band left the stage. This was one of the most amazing live experiences I ever had.. coming from a guy who has seen over 100 live concerts at minimum. I can't imagine how the shows must be when they start touring again. I bet half of the crowd will be in tears while moshing to those beautiful hardcore riffs
I got to see them a year before at Warped 2014, was my first warped and the first band I wanted to see that day. I can't fucking wait to see them again.
Richard Lohmann please tell me there’s a video where I can see the crowd sing the chorus to Engine 45. That’s the first song I heard from them and loved it right away. I must see them chanting it, it will definitely give me goosebumps
after my accident in 2015 i couldnt walk for almost a year, a song like this is very motivational for us who are permanently damage. After my accident i pushed through physical therapy until i could walk again, and i flawlessly danced with my wife at our wedding.
AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS to you! First, you survived the devastating blow. Then you fought your way back. AND you managed to walk down the aisle! AMAZING! Hat's off, man! :)
I'm so glad you finally listened to these guys and it's amazing how they were able to triumph over what they went through. Engine 45, Dark Horse, and Dear Youth are some of their more popular songs you should check out.
You just made my day with this reaction... It´s amazing to see how people can stand up after such a devastating accident. Both mentally and physically, this guys are a true inspiration for everyone
I respect you so much for looking into the history of the band and everything before watching the video. I wouldn't like this song as much if I didn't know about that beforehand. You gained this band more than one new fan by doing that, myself included.
Their story is amazing and truly inspiring. This is the first time I have heard them and I believe that this was the best song to start off with. And the 1 legged drummer showes that they can conquer any challenge they come across. Rock on man. Rock on 🤘
Please please please never ever stop making these videos, it's so rare to find someone with an open mind that actually listens to the meaning behind all of the screaming. This world needs more people like you
I'm so glad they're releasing a new album. I only discovered The Ghost Inside in January 2020 with "Engine 45" and I fell in love instantly. I'm glad I'm not going to miss all of their material.
I've cried over songs plenty, but never sobbed over a breakdown... Missed these guys, their sound colossally. So proud of their journey. Onwards and upwards. TRIUMPH OVER TRAGEDY!
I'm fucking bawling. Been following them since vigil was in a dying dream and aaron ex member was in a local band in my city lake havasu city the hope of change. Awesome metalcore btw Aaron collab'd with vigil and they created the ghost inside. I have demos from like 2006 of the earliest songs aaron was writing. Aaron actually got a lot of riffs from marked for death a local havasu hardcore band that he was in and used them for some the ghost inside stuff... So its awesome to hear havasu music out there changing lives. Specifically the intro song on get what you give "this is what i know about sacrifice" Words can't express how fucking scared i was when i heard about this... Aaron was my first friend when i moved to lak havasu. Luckily he wasn't in the accident. But it didn't soften the blow. Seeing them come back. Seeing them still standing. It's fucking amazing. The ghost inside forever.
The fact that he went back to the location of the crash in this video is just unreal. So much bloody respect for these guys! Loved them ever since I found engine 45 5 years ❤❤❤
i saw them this year at blue ridge rock festival and i have to say, one of the absolute most emotional, moving, intense and incredible shows i’ve been to, if not the number one. if you ever get a chance to see them these days, do it. i consider myself extremely lucky to be able to say that i’ve seen them.
Glad that you reacted to this video and gave it a respectful lead in. I enjoy how honest and passionate you are with you videos. Check out Engine 45 from them next.
I got lucky enough to see these guys live twice before their accident. They were so dope back then and to see them coming back now with such a ferocity and tenacity is a special experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the song and I hope you enjoy the rest of their work
I saw The Ghost Inside at a pub tour in 2013 here in Australia. They changed my life. I still struggle everyday with depression and anxiety but without that moment at the edge of the stage in the middle of the Mosh when Johnathan Vigil reached out and grabbed my hand and held it during Engine 45 I probably wouldn't be here. I was at my lowest and in that moment I gained so much. Engine 45 is my song recommendation for a reaction.
These guys grew up around here, lotta mutual friends, it was devastating to hear about their bus crash and honestly I never expected to hear more music from them. The hype was unreal when I saw this song released. I get choked up listening to it
Was fortunate enough to see them perform at Unify Gathering, January 2020. It was their second show back since the accident. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. They were fucking huge.
In a time when I was heavily depressed I went to see these guys live. I believe a year before the accident. I was at the show to see a different band. Never heard of them before. When they played I understood that everything he was saying was somehow directed at me. To never give up and to fight with everything I have to push on. I’ve never in my life had a lift up like that before. Dude thank you for reacting to this. You definitely need to check out more of their music.
This song came out at such a fantastic time, right after the largest mass shooting in my country. Speaking of triumph over tragedy, my province came together in its to time of need, and we stand strong.
So I was one of the lucky people that got to go to their comeback show in LA, the shots of the large crowd at night and it was such an emotional and amazing night. I love this song and band.
Hey Alex, Alex here, I just wanted to tell you that you have been an inspiration to me, to make a TH-cam reaction channel, you are my favorite TH-camr and I'm sure you are an amazing person. Thank you
Awesome reaction brotha! Also the drummer lost one of his legs from the accident and had to learn how to basically play the bass drum pedal with a prosthetic limb. Shows the determination he had to keep playing man. Love this band so much.
The Gohst Insude is a dope band, and i give all of my respect to them, R.I.P to those we've lost in in the devistating crash, they will always be in our hearts. They are such a big insparation to me, they're one of the reasons why i started writting my own music, and i can't thank them enough. Thank you guys
The ghost inside has so many good songs. Everything by this band has always been incredible lyrically and instrumentally. I hope you review more by them.
I have watched every reaction video to this song and I cry every damn time. It's just too good. I love this band so much. Super happy you did this video.
A part of the story not well known is twofold: this tour TGI was on when the crash happened was a lot about promoting local bands for all the cities they stopped in. They were the only touring band, all the openers were local for each show. They were making an effort to pass the torch and give small time bands a chance to shine. God bless em for that. Second- earlier in that same tour in Reno, October ‘15, some local thugs ganged up on Vigil, the singer, and beat him up! We were so mad, frustrated beyond the belief for the taint in our local scene. So much Hardcore/Heavy Metal in the world is about festering in anger, bitterness, and resentment. TGI is one of those bands whose music is about letting your demons out - freeing you to live a good life - taking negative energy inside ourselves and converting it to positive energy. 💜✌️😎 That night I got to speak with Andrew - we talked about musical inspiration and I TOTALLY GET that he would have written the instrumental!! MISERY SIGNALS, BABY!!
These dudes are extremely inspiring and I cannot be happier seeing this song, as I had never heard of them before but my sister had told me about their story and them as a band. When I saw reactions to this song I was so appreciative of the hard work they all went through, especially the drummer. The reason why I say that is due to the drummer not only losing a leg but, the mindset he had when he first realised his situation. He had thought how was he going to drum, as that's the role he played in the band and as a job. The band had 5 years off because of the accident and to them all time to recover and get back into the thing that they loved most, their band 'The Ghost Inside'. The other reason was due to the drummer having to pretty much relearn drumming, because of losing his leg, which is an essential part of drumming. Not only did he have to one get a bionic limb that he was able to drum with but he had to use a new kick drum pedal, which that pedal I believe was made by his father. In a whole though, this song was amazing and so heart warming like their story. This is the only song I have heard from these guys but I seriously need to listen to their other stuff.
I absolutely love this song and this band. If you love this song, you'll love Southtown by The Ghost Inside as well. Southtown and Aftermath are my favorites by this band and I just can't put one above the other!
The live concert footage for the video is all taken from their first live show after the accident. Jared Dines is a fan of these guys and did a pretty sweet vlog about that show. This song and video came along at a very personally relevant time for me. April 4th would have been my bro Jesse's 39th birthday. We served in the 82nd Airborne and went to Iraq together in 2003-04. Back during our time serving together, we used to joke that if we lived to 40, we'd have to run for office or start a global conquest or something as the gods clearly had big plans for us. Jesse took his own life 3 days before my birthday in 2013. April and September are always difficult times for me knowing that he isn't here anymore. Every year since on our birthdays I always honor his memory with a tradition popular with veterans, especially on Memoral and Veteran's Days, as well as birthdays and anniversaries, where we order a second drink for our fallen comrades and leave it in place with a note on the napkin or a list of those we wish to honor, usually concluded with something to the effect of "He/She/They drink(s) no more, so this drink stays where it lays." This year, I felt just... off. I was deflated and down that I couldn't visit my favorite haunt for that beer with Jesse. That a simple ritual had come to mean so much to me that I felt like I was letting Jesse down for not being able to do it. That was until that evening when a guy that bartends there sent me a picture of he and his brother in their yard, sitting around a fire, with a third beer on a table with the caption simply saying "For SPC Jesse Garcia, Til Valhalla." I often beat myself up around this time of year and get guarded and closed off, but the fact that they would do that for a guy they'd never known... that shit broke me. I hadn't let go of a lot for a very long time, but that helped me remember that a little like that is nice and all, but the best way to honor his memory is to keep stepping forward again, to live even fuller for the both of us, no matter what crazy shit the universe throws at me. Hearing this song broke me again cause that's how it resonates for me. Two different paths through adversity and hell, but I definitely get where they're coming from with this song. Stay strong all, love fiercely, and live magnanimously.
I have so much respect for you knowing you cant speak for them and are just honored to experience the art that came out of it. Good stuff Alex. Again, respect
One of my favorite quotes comes from a ghost inside song. In Mercy off of Dear Youth he says “I’d like to think I’ll come out stronger. Life’s swinging hard, but I’m swinging harder”. Truly amazing musicians and people.
I can't post the picture but I have the set list of their 2nd to last show which was in Odessa, Texas.... The Ghost Inside is so incredible and thank you for an awesome review.... by the way... Check out their other songs Downbeat, Blue and Gold, Lions War, and many many others.... they have been inspiring people for almost a decade before they were taken from us.... I cried when I watched this I was so happy.... Can't wait to see them alive again!!!!!
I have been a fan of TGI since 2008! This new song really hit hard for me. They are absolutely one of my favorite bands of all the time! I am so happy to see them back stronger than ever!
Thank you Alex for reacting to my favorite band! This song means a lot to the band and i'm sure it means a lot to the fans (to me it does). Thank you for reacting with the respect these guys deserve :)
The ghost inside are the most inspirational band ever. Alex you need to go and listen to their back catalogue. So much emotion so much passion. They've probably saved more kids lives from suicide than you could ever imagine... They are the reason I'm still alive and the reason I'll "keep swinging".
I'm so glad you got to experience these feelings. Been following these guys since 2008, when I watched this video for the first time a few days ago I most definitely could not stop the tears!
The drummer lost his leg in the accident but his dad made him a custom prosthetic so he could play again which is cool as fuck. These guys are an inspiration and just incredible live.
Glad you find out about this band ! In my top 5 favourite Core band for sure. Considering this track, probably the most beautiful one I ever heard . A perfect mix of melodic guitar and HEAVY THE F************* breakdown. So much of love and so much faith

This stuff is so inspirational. The whole story is so inspiring.
Edit: thanks for the likes guys, and Alex, if you read this please react to Polaris - Hypermania or Polaris - Masochist, u wont regret it!
oh shut up, you're going to make me cry
I don't wanna be that guy, but you used ` instead of ' im no expert on that, but i think thats wrong.
The videos documenting that were so cool. He started off with a golf club duct taped to the pedal! I just that’s so cool that his dad and his doctors were able to engineer something to allow him to play.
Just saw u on nik neutral
Polaris - Masochist is my fav song atm and my fave from the band!!
"LIFE'S SWINGIN HARD, BUT I'M SWINGING HARDER!"
Every fucking day
Goddamn straight
Engine 45! Idk how many times I’ve said it but one of the best songs from the Ghost Inside.
OH! That song always hits hard, probably my favourite of their songs.
I need this
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE TGI SONG. So powerful.
I never seen anyone talk about FOTFO or returners. Those were the best two album offnrip
Fabian Juarez Avalanche !!
The Ghost Inside is an amazing group of dudes and if there's anyone who helped me survive when I didn't want to, it was these guys. This song is a perfect example of who they are and what they've always been about. Definitely recommend you check out songs like Engine 45, Dear Youth, Chrono, Mercy, and Test the Limits. These guys have held a special place in my heart for years and I hope you can gain something from their music like so many others have.
Mercy helped me so much when I was dealing with everything the world threw at me and it's still helping me. I got ''Life's swinging hard, but I'm swinging harder'' tattooed on me, I don't and I won't ever regret it. Such an amazing band in all ways possible. I love the fact that so many people can connect through this band and their songs.
Alex should react to Avalanche and Blank Pages, I really like idea of the same lyrics in some part (I can't stop screaming...)
All of them are awesome. Such a heavy band.
Patrick Losiniecki I can relate to this!
@@boblabole1997 by far their most meaningful line to me too. My ribs say the same thing. Worth every second of it. This band has created a community of amazing people and we can all stand together and fight to win.
If you start liking Ghost Inside, i recommend "White Light" by The Ghost Inside. Such an emotinal song.
Or "Gone with the Wind" by Architects
White light makes me sob every time
@@m1r4nd4lynn1 Yeah it's about Vigil losing his brother
Engine 45
Marco Hornbostel I got to see them play White Light live for the first time and there was not a dry eye in the venue.
Never heard this band never heard this song. Added to my Playlist..
You've got one exciting journey ahead with their albums!!! Man I wish I could re-experience my first time hearing them, damn! Enjoy!!!!
Ben Smith I envy everyone who hasn’t heard of them yet and get to experience them for the first time
@@MRBigWhite57 heard them first time about a year ago after all my friends said to me that i miss some really important.
DAMN they were right.
I knew about the crash and everything was crumbling - i was there for my friends and damn this song is fucking now hard with me... it came out on my Grandpas 70s birthday... one day after my Grandma just passed away and now i really love and hate this song, its such a great song but it will remind me of so much up and down in this few days...
They'll change your life bro
Welcome dude lol they have TONS of amazing material

I got to see them a year before at Warped 2014, was my first warped and the first band I wanted to see that day. I can't fucking wait to see them again.
I got to see them 4 or 5 times before the accident and I truly didn’t think we’d ever see this day again. I couldn’t be happier for these guys.
Richard Lohmann sane dude in Casper Wyoming fuckin sounded even better live, insane pits, all around good time
You need to Listen to “lion war”
Richard Lohmann please tell me there’s a video where I can see the crowd sing the chorus to Engine 45. That’s the first song I heard from them and loved it right away. I must see them chanting it, it will definitely give me goosebumps
That scream after his clean vocals is THE most chilling thing I've felt musically..
I can only think about how long he's wanted to let that out.
after my accident in 2015 i couldnt walk for almost a year, a song like this is very motivational for us who are permanently damage. After my accident i pushed through physical therapy until i could walk again, and i flawlessly danced with my wife at our wedding.
AMAZING! CONGRATULATIONS to you! First, you survived the devastating blow. Then you fought your way back. AND you managed to walk down the aisle! AMAZING! Hat's off, man! :)
You, sir, are what it's all about. I give you insane respect for that. So happy for your recovery and I hope your life treats you amazingly.
✊🤘
Congrats bro. You’re inspirational
Breakdown was sickening. I wanted to destroy my house.
you should check out their new song pressure point......it goes hard.
4:33 perftct timing to do that noise :D
I didn't notice how perfect timing that was 😂
I'm so glad you finally listened to these guys and it's amazing how they were able to triumph over what they went through. Engine 45, Dark Horse, and Dear Youth are some of their more popular songs you should check out.
The fact that their show sold out within minutes is a testament to how inspiring this band is. I’m so happy they are able to continue making music.
Hit so hard in the feels but oh so stoked they're back.
You just made my day with this reaction... It´s amazing to see how people can stand up after such a devastating accident. Both mentally and physically, this guys are a true inspiration for everyone
Another song that doesn't get enough credit. REACT TO IMMINENCE do Paralyzed and Infectious.
YES! Holy shit i've been wanting someone to react to this band for so long. Also Saturated Soul, Erase, The Sickness, Lighthouse are also amazing.
Fucking love Imminence !
Imminence is amazing soo underrated would love a reaction to paralyzed
Yes PLEASE
yessss
Fascinating How your titles have changed from “hip-hop head reacts” to just “reaction”
Benjamin Lauritsen we’ve done our job and converted him :,)
They still say hip hop head on occasion
As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!
Actually the best real comeback of any band ever.
I've seen these guys twice before the accident, they are unreal. Definitely glad to see they are back doing what they love
Thank you so much, The Ghost Inside have been my favorite band for years “Triumph Over Tragedy!!!!!!”
I keep coming back to this rather than the actual video and always get a tear in my eye. The guys are amazing and met them back in 2009
I respect you so much for looking into the history of the band and everything before watching the video. I wouldn't like this song as much if I didn't know about that beforehand. You gained this band more than one new fan by doing that, myself included.
how unlucky you have to be that the only member losing his leg was the drummer, the member who needs it the most
The Ghost Inside - Out of Control, Engine 45, Dear Youth, and literally everything else
Their story is amazing and truly inspiring. This is the first time I have heard them and I believe that this was the best song to start off with. And the 1 legged drummer showes that they can conquer any challenge they come across. Rock on man. Rock on 🤘
The most touching moment, is when all the members, band, standing on the stage in full.
Whitechapel - When a demon defiles a witch
Hickory Creek acoustic?
damnnnn
If he ever does When a demon defiles a witch, I'll ask for either Bring Me Home, hickory creek or his version of Unanswered
YES
Anonymousaurus Rex YES
Please please please never ever stop making these videos, it's so rare to find someone with an open mind that actually listens to the meaning behind all of the screaming. This world needs more people like you
Still waiting for that whitechapel- when a demon defiles a witch reaction.
Man, that song is so sick!
I'm so glad they're releasing a new album. I only discovered The Ghost Inside in January 2020 with "Engine 45" and I fell in love instantly. I'm glad I'm not going to miss all of their material.
I've cried over songs plenty, but never sobbed over a breakdown...
Missed these guys, their sound colossally. So proud of their journey. Onwards and upwards.
TRIUMPH OVER TRAGEDY!
I'm not crying, your crying
No I'm not 😭
(((((
Shut up it's dust
We’re all crying. It’s okay.
I'm fucking bawling.
Been following them since vigil was in a dying dream and aaron ex member was in a local band in my city lake havasu city the hope of change. Awesome metalcore btw
Aaron collab'd with vigil and they created the ghost inside. I have demos from like 2006 of the earliest songs aaron was writing.

Seeing them come back.
Seeing them still standing.
It's fucking amazing.
The ghost inside forever.
The fact that he went back to the location of the crash in this video is just unreal. So much bloody respect for these guys! Loved them ever since I found engine 45 5 years ❤❤❤
More songs I'd recommend by them are: Engine 45, Dark Horse/White Light, Mercy, and my favorite Between The Lines.
Amazing tune. What strength everyone involved has. RIP to the drivers.
Dude!! This is awesome, thank you for reacting to this!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Alex dude thank you so much!! They need the exposure and you have such a big platform. You should check out Chrono by them next!!
Alex's squeak at 4:33 is honestly the greatest thing I've seen on this channel. That's when you know the breakdown SLAPS.
I had never heard of The Ghost Inside until the accident sadly. But they very quickly became one of my favorite bands. Heavy and inspirational.
Such an amazing song and band!
I've only found this band recently due to this song. It makes me tear up but it makes me want to see them as soon as I can. So inspiring.
This song came out at such a fantastic time, right after the largest mass shooting in my country. Speaking of triumph over tragedy, my province came together in its to time of need, and we stand strong.

Favorite band. Crazy part is, when they released this song, i had just got home from having a heart attack. I had this on repeat for monnnnnths
Awesome reaction brotha! Also the drummer lost one of his legs from the accident and had to learn how to basically play the bass drum pedal with a prosthetic limb. Shows the determination he had to keep playing man. Love this band so much.

A part of the story not well known is twofold: this tour TGI was on when the crash happened was a lot about promoting local bands for all the cities they stopped in. They were the only touring band, all the openers were local for each show. They were making an effort to pass the torch and give small time bands a chance to shine. God bless em for that.
Second- earlier in that same tour in Reno, October ‘15, some local thugs ganged up on Vigil, the singer, and beat him up! We were so mad, frustrated beyond the belief for the taint in our local scene.
So much Hardcore/Heavy Metal in the world is about festering in anger, bitterness, and resentment. TGI is one of those bands whose music is about letting your demons out - freeing you to live a good life - taking negative energy inside ourselves and converting it to positive energy. 💜✌️😎
That night I got to speak with Andrew - we talked about musical inspiration and I TOTALLY GET that he would have written the instrumental!! MISERY SIGNALS, BABY!!
This is awesome, and I’ll always love the classic ending breakdown of Faith and Forgiveness
Engine 45, Move Me, and Phoenix Flame are my favorites. The lyrics are so meaningful, especially since I'm a recovered alcoholic.
These dudes are extremely inspiring and I cannot be happier seeing this song, as I had never heard of them before but my sister had told me about their story and them as a band. When I saw reactions to this song I was so appreciative of the hard work they all went through, especially the drummer. The reason why I say that is due to the drummer not only losing a leg but, the mindset he had when he first realised his situation. He had thought how was he going to drum, as that's the role he played in the band and as a job. The band had 5 years off because of the accident and to them all time to recover and get back into the thing that they loved most, their band 'The Ghost Inside'. The other reason was due to the drummer having to pretty much relearn drumming, because of losing his leg, which is an essential part of drumming. Not only did he have to one get a bionic limb that he was able to drum with but he had to use a new kick drum pedal, which that pedal I believe was made by his father. In a whole though, this song was amazing and so heart warming like their story. This is the only song I have heard from these guys but I seriously need to listen to their other stuff.
haven’t had a song make me cry in a long time but holy shit this song is so emotional in a perfect way.
Couldn’t wait to see your reaction after I heard the song! So glad you watched it. Thanks for the reviews!
Dude, you have genuine feeling, of the soul.
I absolutely love this song and this band. If you love this song, you'll love Southtown by The Ghost Inside as well. Southtown and Aftermath are my favorites by this band and I just can't put one above the other!
The live concert footage for the video is all taken from their first live show after the accident. Jared Dines is a fan of these guys and did a pretty sweet vlog about that show. This song and video came along at a very personally relevant time for me. April 4th would have been my bro Jesse's 39th birthday. We served in the 82nd Airborne and went to Iraq together in 2003-04. Back during our time serving together, we used to joke that if we lived to 40, we'd have to run for office or start a global conquest or something as the gods clearly had big plans for us. Jesse took his own life 3 days before my birthday in 2013. April and September are always difficult times for me knowing that he isn't here anymore. Every year since on our birthdays I always honor his memory with a tradition popular with veterans, especially on Memoral and Veteran's Days, as well as birthdays and anniversaries, where we order a second drink for our fallen comrades and leave it in place with a note on the napkin or a list of those we wish to honor, usually concluded with something to the effect of "He/She/They drink(s) no more, so this drink stays where it lays." This year, I felt just... off. I was deflated and down that I couldn't visit my favorite haunt for that beer with Jesse. That a simple ritual had come to mean so much to me that I felt like I was letting Jesse down for not being able to do it. That was until that evening when a guy that bartends there sent me a picture of he and his brother in their yard, sitting around a fire, with a third beer on a table with the caption simply saying "For SPC Jesse Garcia, Til Valhalla." I often beat myself up around this time of year and get guarded and closed off, but the fact that they would do that for a guy they'd never known... that shit broke me. I hadn't let go of a lot for a very long time, but that helped me remember that a little like that is nice and all, but the best way to honor his memory is to keep stepping forward again, to live even fuller for the both of us, no matter what crazy shit the universe throws at me. Hearing this song broke me again cause that's how it resonates for me. Two different paths through adversity and hell, but I definitely get where they're coming from with this song. Stay strong all, love fiercely, and live magnanimously.
Thank you!!!!
Thanks for that kindness to the band and people who were effectively in the accident!
Beautiful story. And much respect for this band
BLACK TONGUE - SECOND DEATH. The most brutal sound I've ever heard in a breakdown
Love that you did this reaction man! 🖤
I have so much respect for you knowing you cant speak for them and are just honored to experience the art that came out of it. Good stuff Alex. Again, respect
Our prayers have been heard! Loved it dude, solid react
Triumph over tragedy
One of my favorite quotes comes from a ghost inside song. In Mercy off of Dear Youth he says “I’d like to think I’ll come out stronger. Life’s swinging hard, but I’m swinging harder”. Truly amazing musicians and people.
You make me cry with your reaction, you're such an incredible person. This band means a lot to me, resilience is the right word indeed
I can't post the picture but I have the set list of their 2nd to last show which was in Odessa, Texas.... The Ghost Inside is so incredible and thank you for an awesome review.... by the way... Check out their other songs Downbeat, Blue and Gold, Lions War, and many many others.... they have been inspiring people for almost a decade before they were taken from us.... I cried when I watched this I was so happy.... Can't wait to see them alive again!!!!!
I have been a fan of TGI since 2008! This new song really hit hard for me. They are absolutely one of my favorite bands of all the time! I am so happy to see them back stronger than ever!
The way vigil speaks the final lines reminds me of thirty three
You gotta check The Ghost Inside - Unspoken. That song has a powerful message and its just so much fun to listen to. Youll love it
The songs "Dear Youth" and "Engine 45" of them are songs you NEED to check out
Thank you for reacting to this song Alex!
LETS GO DUDE!!!! You gotta do more. The Other Half is my personal favorite!
Truly an emotional fucking comeback, and i really appreciate you reacting to this song. They deserve nothing but mad fucking respect.
They’re such an amazing group of guys, much love to them❤️🤘
Thank you Alex for reacting to my favorite band! This song means a lot to the band and i'm sure it means a lot to the fans (to me it does). Thank you for reacting with the respect these guys deserve :)
Love that I found your channel. You’ve introduced me to so many awesome bands. Thanks for what you do!
The ghost inside are the most inspirational band ever. Alex you need to go and listen to their back catalogue. So much emotion so much passion. They've probably saved more kids lives from suicide than you could ever imagine... They are the reason I'm still alive and the reason I'll "keep swinging".
Thank you sooo much!!!!!!
This is the first song to top Engine 45 imo. What a fricking amazing band.
i‘m from austria and went to new york 6 years ago to see them on vans warped tour.
I'm so glad you got to experience these feelings. Been following these guys since 2008, when I watched this video for the first time a few days ago I most definitely could not stop the tears!
Faith no more - Epic
The drummer lost his leg in the accident but his dad made him a custom prosthetic so he could play again which is cool as fuck. These guys are an inspiration and just incredible live.
I felt that video in my soul.
Glad you find out about this band ! In my top 5 favourite Core band for sure. Considering this track, probably the most beautiful one I ever heard . A perfect mix of melodic guitar and HEAVY THE F************* breakdown. So much of love and so much faith
Yesssssss you finally did the ghost inside they’re my favorite band
