I and my cats watched this with you.
Now I have tigers.
Ahaha 😂😂😂
Best comment ever. Brilliant!
@@persaunna I did a double take, and after looking around my room puzzled, I thought "WTF am I gonna do with two tigers?"
I guess I gotta find a country to invade
@@casualguy393 Easy answer to what to do with two tigers: Be as fierce as they are!! And maybe ban them from the room when listenning to The Hu!
@@Technetium75d Well, I guess I need to find a country to invade.
I love this music. It speaks to my barbarian soul.
dehcho99 haha bulls eye
My thoughts exactly. They rock.
Yeah yeah its true
The cultural bridge between Mongolia and the rest of us was not jazz, classical, K-pop or folk. It's METAL as the universal language.
Metallurgy was their art, the Mongols
Ooohhhh mongolian jazz. I kind of want to hear that.
@@Giganfan2k1 you could try listen to Tengri, its not jazz but maybe something you would like, one of his famous performance was in the singer competition in chinese. it is here in youtube!
They are actually a Mongolian rock look at there channel description
Fucking k.pop no. Mongolian m.rock
Just a side note: Elephant, Lion, and Hawks are ranks of Mongolian wrestlers, so those animals have cultural significance clearly.
Ah, very interesting! Thank you for that insight.
This info makes the song better.
The ranks, FYI
1. great champion
2. Lion
3. Garuda
4. Elephants
5. Hawk
6. Falcon
Thank you
good explain thank you
1600 years ago: The Mongolians are coming! Noooooooo!
2019: The Mongolians are coming! Yay!
More like 700 to 800 years ago
It was theat 1100's late 1200's dude hahaha a bit much
Nice copy and paste
1600 years ago? You've mixed up the Huns with the Mongols
This is a war chant
Exactly
To the 4 ppl who don't dig...
These guys rock harder than ANYTHING that is being jizzed out by the corporate machine of music.
You think these Mongolians came up with all this polish and direction on their own? They're corporate.
When I hear this song I want to go into battle.
me2
Same as part native american now were my war axe?
I swear lol.
Song bump so hard, have you at a recruiter just ready to fuck somebody up.
IKR?
Chad Falardeau hahahah
I found Wolf Totem to be a song about the resolve of the people to maintain their identity. Damm, I love this music! It's got a pleasing melody as well as a great beat, and the message is important. I'm an old lady rocker and I like music that has components that add something to my listening experience. Brilliant! Thanks, Metalhead✅
apparently the song was already written during the mongol conquest
The black banner they refer to is one of the tug, poles with horse hair carried by Mongols, a white one for peace and a black one for war. The white one was lost long ago but the black one, the same one carried by Genghis Khan and said to hold his soul, managed to survive all the way up to 1937 when the monastery it was kept in was destroyed in the Stalinist purges. It's what Khan is carrying in the flashback and what they later carry on motorcycles and it's topped with a Tengrian crescent, an ancient symbol for the sky that's a key symbol of Mongolian identity and religion.
I think the white one is resting along side Khan's tomb somewhere in his birth mountain.
And it's said the people managed and built the tomb is all executed and the executioners also got executed to keep it secret. Also it's told that thousand horse were there to roam and stampede the tomb to flatten the ground.
UK grandma here. Loving the Hu band - my head can't stop bopping. Your reactions are spot on. Nice one!
You were too cute over the English subtitles. I agree that they are equally good. I love the black and white filming of the video. Thanks for reacting to them. I introduced them to my sons and they loved them. I think people who will only listen to English songs miss out. Music is universal. Like you said, we can just enjoy it.
I agree. I listen more foreign music, mostly Scandinavian folk than english. I have no idea what they singing about but it sounds amazing. Sometimes I find that if I can understand the language of the lyrics it can distract and take me out of the experience of the music.
Your one cool mother showing this song to your sons
Hello MetalHead.
Wolf Totem is awesome. It's a 'pride' song for Mongolian heritage and the richness of their history, and their spirit as a people. I am sure others have told you that Hu means 'mongolian', or 'the People'. But during the chant part, where all are saying, over and over, Hu Hu Hu... in this context one can translate is as 'Us, Us, Us...' As in all of Us. Or, perhaps as 'We' as in a group.
The Garuda is a pick up from India. A mythic bird creature, the Aquila (which the constellation Aquila was named after). So, in a way, like an Eagle. They are basically saying their totem will enable them to fly and avoid the 'snakes' set upon them. In other words, they will overcome all opponents and obstacles in their path. And like the Great Khan Gingus, or Jingus, they will become great again.
Imagine hearing something like this from your ramparts, surrounded by a humongous horse army, all singing 'Hu Hu Hu Hu'. Talk about Psy-Ops in ancient times!
The mixing of the scenes, modern bikers, and traditional horsemen, shows the Mongols, or at least the band, are equating the motor cycle as the new 'horse'. Ya know? That isn't strange at all. We (Americans) do the exact same thing!
just saying,
speaking Frank-ly
I say go for it! If you've already heard of Disturbed's version of 'Sound of Silence', I would appreciate hearing your reaction to it anyway. I was not a real 'fan' of Disturbed, although I had heard several of their songs. My feelings changed dramatically after hearing their 'take' on Sound of Silence.
Another example of this is my Nephew's love of the band 'Slipknot'. I had heard the music, but could not parse out the words of their songs, so my opinion of them was quite low. But, after seeing a full concert with my nephew in my brother's basement 'man cave', I went home and looked up the lyrics to quite a few of Slipknot's songs... and I was amazed. My feelings for the band were abruptly derailed and I became a 'fan' of them as well. See? even an 'old man' of 60, can appreciate new things! (smile).
I feel like Mongols got tired of conquering. Like, been there done that, and now they are just cool people that have NOTHING to prove.
Maybe, the cost was too high.
I’m Asian and would be get a Harley to ride with these guys across the US!
Dude, if you keep this up, you're recommendations from TH-cam might start looking like this:
Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE
Skálmöld & Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands - Kvaðning
Skálmöld & Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands - Hel
Danheim - Fridr
OMNIA (Official) - Fee Ra Huri
OMNIA (Official) - The Sheenearlahi Set
Valravn - Seersken - Live @ Amager Bio 2011
EUZEN - The Great Escape
WARNING: Don't trust anything I say!
Pretty accurate. That's basically my recommendations.
you don't need lyrics. I see the voice as an instrument, just like any other. I listen to a lot of music that I don't understand too, but good music transcends the language barrier.
Metal Steel definitely 👍🏼
Who else can see Ghengis Khan's warriors running across the plains into battle on their steeds? The most feared warriors of the ancient world. Throat singing is a vibration that pulls at your primordial being. I experienced the same feeling of alternate states while sitting in upon an Inuit throat singing ceremony...the vibrations and tones are similar (although it is more the Inuit women that practice the art, some men do involve themselves). The Inuit and Tuva people share the same genetic heritage. Inuit men throat singing: th-cam.com/video/7bCWVSUhNt8/w-d-xo.html
People say im shy and shit but boy do they have no idea what music i listen to 😂^^
Wow. Amazing! Good luck the Hu band.
Heh. Discovered this channel thanks to Yuve Yuve Yu.
Same here friend
The bit where they refer to Garuda is a reference to the divine eagle-god in Hindu mythology. The mythology of Garuda spread from India throughout Asia, and the symbol of Garuda is still widely recognized in south-east Asia in particular. Garuda is the national symbol of Indonesia. In Mongolia, Garuda is the symbol of their capital city.
Eagles prey on snakes. I'm guessing the reference to Garuda is saying that if you come as a snake, they'll prey on you like a divine eagle would.
yeah, that was my take on it as well, along with the rank references, and the numbers, it all makes total sense and packs a powerful message.
Garuda spread with buddhism trough out asia
Yes ofcourse. Chingis khan and his mongolians did not use garuda. Mongolians used when into buddism.
Great musical instruments and has deep roots
You do not need the subtitles to get the feel of this music. It is designed to inspire your inner warrior. As for the bluegrass comparison, I think of this as being more like Mongolian Rock-a-billie
The garuda is a sacred bird to Buddhists, almost kind of like a dove to Westerners. The garuda appear at the end of the monsoon season in India, so when you hear the garuda you know the bad times are ending. Also when they talk about blue animals, they are talking about extradimensional beings who appear as animals.
this song makes me wanna rob my own house
as far as i understand this they say just because Genghiz Khan is dead the Mongolians are still alive and a part of the modern world...with all their power, music and enthusiasm..and i love it!
Garuda is a Buddhist / Hindu icon or deity which is represented as a giant eagle which is sometimes depicted as caring the Hindu deity Vishnu
He is considered to be the enemy of all serpents
One word Wow!!
actually this song is an ancient mongolian war song exactly singed in the same way as before from the great genghis khan era they used this lyrics/words for motivation you can read lyrics and understand so enjoy it!
you sure?
Source bro. I call bullshit.
I think the bikers, as far as I know, could be part of the biker group, The Mongols. But they made the video and the song better. :)
This is my current fave .....so primal❤️
Exactly primal sums it up pretty well.
Hu' on Harleys, a PERFECT combination!
wd
Since you mentioned this sounding/feeling similar to a haka - I have a Maori metal song suggestion that I stumbled upon a little while ago. The band is named "Alien Weaponry" and the song is "Kai Tangata" (the video is like a little movie). They all have Maori ancestry, and they do have songs in English but I kinda dig the Maori sound.
Thanks for being awesome!!!
Aye, I have this on my list, keep a look out for it coming up in the future.
Both Hu and Alien Weaponry are quite good native rock groups.
Just checked out this band, I like very much, thx 👍
Just listened to them b/c of you...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!!
Thx fore the tip!
Hu means the humans (Mongols). Wolf is the totem of the Borjigin royal clan of Chinggis Kha'an. Chinggis united all the Mongol clans under his wolf totem. 10,000 is the number of a tumen--a Mongol (or Turkic) division that was nearly invincible against armies of any size when the Mongol empire was strong. 10,000 Mongol cavalry could appear out of nowhere, cutting through and decimating infantries of hundreds of thousands, and they believed they had the backing of Munkh Khukh Tengri (Eternal Blue Heaven) to punish the wicked enemies. Thus, the lyric, "Ten thousand of us will hand you the wrath of Heaven!" Second time reactions would probably have the best chance of being interesting if it were your favorite of the past songs.
REMEMBER QUOTE MOVIE JAWS I THINK WE NEED A BIGGER BOAT SEEING THESE BAD ASS GUYS MOMMY SAID RUN FORREST RUN HU BAD ASS WOW THESE BOYS MAKE HELL-ANGELS LOOK LIKE CHUMPS
You're wrong. The white falcon is totem of the borjigon clan. Wolf is the totem of the mongolians.
Taken from Wikipedia
Mongolia
The Garuda, known as Khangarid, is the symbol of the capital city of Mongolia, Ulan Bator.[36] According to popular Mongolian belief, Khangarid is the mountain spirit of the Bogd Khan Uul range who became a follower of Buddhist faith. Today he is considered the guardian of that mountain range and a symbol of courage and honesty.
Khangarid (Хангарьд), a football (soccer) team in the Mongolia Premier League also named after Garuda.
Garuda Ord (Гаруда Орд), a private construction and trading company based in Ulaanbaatar, also named after Garuda.
State Garuda (Улсын Гарьд) is a title given to the debut runner up in wrestling tournament during Mongolian National Festival Naadam.
These guys ROCK
By the way did you know they have English lyrics on just kidding. Good stuff, happy to see you liking music from my home country. All credit to The HU - what an amazing band. I've also just discovered them.
Love your reaction on the Hu yuwe yuwe yu, when I watched it the first time. This music makes me happy
btw, what the fuck is wrong with jumping on the band wagon of a cool, new, interesting band?!
The existence of Hipsters is the cause of such views.
Sounds like something the Great Kahns (a gang modled after the Mongol hordes and Genghis Khan in the fallout games) would be chanting prior to war :-)
i would like to do little explanation if you don't mind, Mongolians are last nomads in modern world and so they
do face lots of problems when they move and travel, so they naturally have to adopt every situations, thats the thing that they trying to say, we really do change in foreign situations.
Awesome band! Thanks for posting.
It sounds like THE primal Hu Empire going to fight back in an ancient war. It makes me feel... Wow! 🗿🤜
Very good interpretation. Very similar to mine. You said "War Chant", I said "War Cry". They are the same. You are the only one to say that in these videos. And I say Thank You. But, I am not Mongolian, so I could be wrong. LOL
You might want to consider a DNA test baby you have a little Mongolian DNA in your blood. I have 7% oddly enough I have 7% Viking as well
please next reaction " altan urag - khokh tolboton " is a great mongolian folk rock music
It's on my list already, keep your eyes peeled for it in the future
tenegteech, shal uur stil end yavj baihad yuun altan urag veee
I was given to understand that their music is in protest against the Chinese occupation of Mongolia
I find there music outrageous, and sounds like a warrior song
janet meeseewaypetung you don’t like it?
Thank you for your reaction to the Hu band. I just subscribed to your channel to see more of them. Thanks.
Also Garuda a (sometimes) humanoid bird considered to be a protector and a mortal enemy of snakes with the ability to fly anywhere really fast.
You should react to Tavan Hasag and Hanggai by Hanggai! A little more folky than Rocky, but still damn good music and also Mongolian Folk Rock!
I dig it. Makes me want to get painted up and prepped to defend my land from raiders 🤘 very primal, in rhythm and vocals
It reminds me alot of viking music, sounds really good / Greetings from the north Sweden
There's story telling going on here. War chants in this song. In Juve Juve Yu, it may be upbeat but it's lyrics are critical as well. Looking forward to hearing more from The Hu Band. Very cool.
My dog started barking along to the chant at the end of the song. Now she’s turned into a wolf and I have no choice but to ride into battle.
It’s what to play if it ever hits the fan while gearing up for the fight
You should check out ALIEN WEAPONRY if you haven't already. Many of their songs are written in Maori.
I did a reaction to Kai Tangata by them about a month ago, was thoroughly impressed by them.
Thank you for your great reaction to the Hu band. I just newly subscribed to your channel to see more of them. Good luck.
Here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulaanbaatar you can see Garuda/Khangarid on flag.
Damn! These guys ROCK! What a fresh take. Mongolia's internet about to get slammed when everyone nails it to learn all about Mongol culture. When can we buy the album and when the tour kick off!?
Album is slated for sometime later this year according to their last announcement, they did give a date but its since been pushed back.
as i known they r having europe tour in this may
sorry but am hooked on wolf totem but love both songs j
The Asien vikings! Nice!
I hope these guys do more, Yuve Yuve Yu is great, the Wolf Totem... holy shit it's awesome.
It was a war chant during Genghis Khan days, this band delivered well!!
In Mongol culture the Khan Garudi means warrior angel and lord of the war, wild animals. We called KhanGardi ᠀᠋ ᠬᠠᠨ ᠭᠠᠷᠥᠳᠢ ᠀᠋ if you don't know Mongolian culture you don't understand this song
chinguun Чингүүн some things are universal not in words but in the feeling behind those words.
Before I saw the subtitles, I knew this was a song about someone gearing up for a fight. Some things are universal.
@Jack Adams Interesting correlation to Native American traditions too, the Thunderbird as the creator/destroyer.
Lol I'm half Navajo and 1/4 Scottish and 1/4 Russian.... Lol trust me. I understand
Garuda came from tibetian buddhism to mongolia and tibetians took their buddhism from India which make sense that Garuda is originated in India
Juve Juve Yu was about going back to the mongolian roots and culture of the ancestors
War metal vibe
Mind blown by these guys I love them
Between Yuve Yuve Yu and Wolf Totem, Yuve trends more towards a rock song lamenting losing your history, where Wolf Totem is more of a fight song that tends more towards metal. I think of the two, I like Wolf Totem more, but both are excellent songs, just different flavors.
Liked youf reaction to the hu track it was sent to me by freinds i love thief music an cannot wait for the album
Would make a great soundtrack to a film... Love it
Music is a feeling. Not a language. Some speak, some shout, some whisper. The HU shouts!
loved your reaction ... would love ta see ya try Disturbed.. sound of silence...
IS it me or is there a hint of American Southern Rock in these tunes?
Mystic Virgo I was thinking that myself!
Yeah, other then the specific instruments and the throat singing, it would fit right in with Gothic Country genre wise. Which seems unlikely to have been the inspiration, though we're in the internet musical age, so not completely impossible.
This review is the LEAST METAL review I've ever seen! Fuck your perceptions and annotations. THIS SONG IS AS METAL AS IT GET'S. IT'S A FUCKING WAR CHANT! Save your analysis for a fucking Wes Anderson film ! This Song kicks ass!!! it makes you want to fight beasts and armies! FUCK YEAH! Review-person, please grow a pair. You are not Metal!
Leve both song. A album is coming upp shortly. Cant’ get there songs out If my head❤️😎😎
Throwback vids are great because I respect your opinion and many people will be hearing the throwback music for the first time.
I'm still VERY new to your channel, but have you looked into Heilung, Wardruna or Danheim? They're some of my most favorite groups lately, they all do Viking type music. Heilung especially has vocals that I enjoy.
Woww this is some shit. I dig it. You should check out the song "Breakdown" or "Kill Somebody" by Twiztid. Take your pick
This song is very similar to tribal war songs of Native Americans
At last a competent review!! Thank you so much. My family is from North Carolina and Virginia. You recognized the Souther/Blue Grass influences of the music and were able to see the Mongolian Fighting Spirit and historical connection. I can see this music being performed in Georgia and being a Big Hit!!
This is power I'm not sure we are ready for.
heard this earlier before your video and they are the 1st foreign group i placed in my playlist the beat is just amazing
The Badassary of Genghis Khan was METAL!!!
The rise of the RIGHT is coming
👊
Both their videos are patriotic and warrior. The other one you looked at. Have you read the subtitles? It speaks of cultural / traditional losses. It is all about identity.
No different to all nations with their issues. But they still have a pride.
😀Awesome!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Garuda is a Giant human and Bird hybrid version . Acccording to myth IT always win over any kind of snake so call dragon . Unlike European dragon Eastean dragon are much similier to Snake .
I'm kinda surprised at the lack of mention of Tengger Cavalry, another Mongolian Folk Metal band that's been around way longer, afaik.
I've had them suggested a couple of times on the Yuve yuve yu video, I do have a track or two of theirs on my list.
@@MetalHeadReacts Alright, cool! I did a CTRL+F on both that comment section and this one, but found nothing, so figured I'd mention it :)
Tengger Cavalry is just a joke. This Chinese guy (The main singer who pick up a Mongolian name ) can't play Morin Khuur (Mongolian Horse Head Fiddle) and even doesn't know Huumii (Throat singing) just pretend to show. Enough Chinese copy and fake shit.
The Wolf Totem could be used as The War Chant.
Through backs are awesome too it’s like going back in time
REMEMBER QUOTE MOVIE JAWS I THINK WE NEED A BIGGER BOAT SEEING THESE BAD ASS GUYS MOMMY SAID RUN FORREST RUN HU BAD ASS WOW THESE BOYS MAKE HELL-ANGELS LOOK LIKE CHUMPS
This song goes at the perfect head banging speed
"It almost feels like a war chant"
That's...because it is?
This video does not start with a whistle but with a Mongolian diphonic guttural chant
By the way, they have subtitles on yuvie yuvie yu now.
Yep, I am that asshole. 😋
When I first heard this song it made me want to put on war paint an ride against the enemy of the people
Awesome music. Just found the Hu from a Google news item. That led me to your channel.
I have subscribed.
Through my beloved ex I developed a love for music from Sinaloa Mexico.
Estilo La Banda.
Daughter has gotten me into BandMaid, XJapan and BABYMETAL from Japan. Trying to get me into K-pop too. Also Rammstein.
I can't understand a darn thing they're singing but the music....the music moves me, inspires me, getting me sometimes up off my olde backside.
can't head-bang like I used to. LOL
You're right don't matter if u can understand their language but it's the music its the blending of the words and music of the instruments that pull you in and fill ur soul with joy.
Genghis Khan
If you like The Hu I have another band to suggest to you. It is Chinese instead of Mongolian. The Band is called The Last Successor and the first song I heard was called 从来没有真相 or 'There Was Never Truth'
bladedth3sis no thnks
Should check out Heilung if you haven't yet. Would l love to see your reaction to Hamrer Hippyer
