no kidding?! i drove my brother 5 hours to see our first trivium show there!! that was about 5 years ago sometime. have seen them like 4 times since then. that venue was awesome
Hell yeah love going to metal concerts with my husband.
It absolutely a brotherhood. I'm in a wheelchair and have been to countless shows, including Trivium. I've never been worried about getting hurt because of how amazingly cool metalheads are. Anytime a pit broke out near me, people would form a barrier around me to protect me. Same goes with the crowd surfers. People around me will direct them away from me. I've only been hit in the craziness once or twice and that's only because the venue was so small. So, yeah. Metalheads look out for each other and you should never worry about the chaos. Well, minus that one idiot that always shows up, but there's always one in every crowd.
His gf hit the nail on the head calling it a brotherhood. I've always felt that way and used the same word.. When you're belting the lyrics and the guy next to you is too and looks at you and smiles.. or when someone falls and everyone around reaches down to pick them up.. That's what it's all about.
My wife and I took our kids to a Tremonti show not too long ago. Front row. Everyone around were doing everything they could to make them as comfortable as possible (keeping others back) aside from our attempts. So yea, a brotherhood, we are.
i myself went to a Slipknot concert when i was around 16. Stayed a bit to the left from the main mosh pit, headbanged hard, and in all that comotion i started falling, and actually fell on the floor. Instinct reaction and i covered myself up, but the next instant i just felt like 10+ hands on me dragging me up simultaneously. Nobody even checked personally if i'm ok, they just pulled me out and everyone continued headbanging. It's like a brotherhood exactly, everyone just takes care of another by default.... only in metal do we experience this feeling of belonging.
Been in pits many times. Only been knocked down once of twice, always been helped up immediately. I've helped dozens up. We're all there for the same reasons.
I'm 52 been a banger since I was 12 metal is a worldwide family. Once ur metal ur metal for life. Hail to all the brothers and sisters of metal world wide. Long live metal
Metal is a community. No matter what type of metal you like.
mmaarrttyy123 not true to be honest haha. There's a lotta elitism in metal. Prog snobs, the "sellout" haters, the nu metal haters etc
R X I'd say clannish not cancerous, people just like to throw out their stupid buzz words.
P Master Truth is, there’s elitists and toxic fanboys in any community/fanbase.
It's internet elitism. I've never gone to a show and seen it firsthand and I'm an old dude who's been going to shows for over 30 years. Outside of a few drunk a-holes, metal fans just love metal. And most of these keyboard jockies are just posing cuz they're young; it's what you do as a teenager. :)
Tom Wisniewski A few drunk assholes or those who don't know how to mosh.
So glad Matt reached out to you and hooked you up! The dude is awesome . I actually had a feeling he might do something like that.
I watched the concert on Matt Heafys twitch channel. its was really awesome the mosh pit got crazy for a while. One of my fav streams to watch. also dont be afraid to get into a mosh pit. I got in one by accident at a korn concert and this big biker dude had the crowd make a path for me to get out. the metal community looks out for eachother
nitessweetdream Yeah like, I was on a Trivium concert as well, and everytime someone in the moshpit fall on the ground, we picked him up, like everytime. So yeah, we are looking for each other.
Yeah i love the metal community. That pit formed around me while i wasnt paying attention. so im glad someone realized i didnt want to be there XD He yelled that i wanted out and they made a pretty good path for me. Good thing cause those guys were twice my size
All for one and one for all ! \m/
Respect in the pit is a thing. Assholes in the pit get worked over. Theres a Corey Taylor interview where he talks about a guy in the put getting worked out for being a dick
Well except for a few a holes
Matt is both a legend and a super cool dude. Glad to hear you enjoyed the show.
Steve Leighton I’ve heard that from several people. Seems like no one has a negative experience with Matt. Or any of the dudes for that matter
What's fuckin nuts is I'm the same age as Matt, but he put out legendary records before I was even done with college. Makes me feel like I've done nothing with my life.
legend is a little too much (at this rate he is in steps of becoming), but ive heard things and for being reeaaaaally famous, he seems a super cool dude
@@rvolk86 same.
I know Sarah was put off by the imagery of the Slipknot video but they are amazing live and the Slipknot maggot family is one of the most supportive. Most metal pits are all about moshing out but if anyone trips or falls there is a dozen hands to pick them up again.
pegga73 nothing tops slipknot shows and fans
David Cabrera hell yeah dude! people always think mosh pits are so violent and that no one gives a shit about the other people moshing but it’s the exact opposite.
By far my favorite band of all time!!!!!!
pegga73 you are so right...
in fact you litterally never hit the ground, because the hands are there while falling XD
One of us...one of us...one of us
Gooble gobble
Turtle turtle turtle
I love how the Trivium dudes are rocking some seriously amazing band shirts! Emperor, Death, Decrepit Birth, and even fucking Pestilence?!
Right?! Loving that
I agree with all of them, good choices.
Andrzej Hodgson Yeah man... I was super impressed too haha.
Fuck yeah!!! Awesome bands
Andrzej Hodgson Alex should react to Emperor
First concert, front row and met the band, that's not a bad story to tell, or vlog.
When I saw Trivium open for Slipknot, I thought they were pretty good.
You two cuties.
Metal fans are one, family is the best world.
Wait til you see Slipknot live, that's about a year away though.
First timer wise move staying out of the pit.
The energy of the shows is intoxicating.
That puppy is adorable.
Great job kids!
Was this on the all hope is gone tour?
I'm trying to find the confirmation but I think it was.
I first saw them in 08, that was the AHIG tour, but I think when I saw them the second time, it was 2012 and it was a side show to a festival called Soundwave, yup that sounds about right. 2012 I saw Steel Panther for the first time too, the night before Slipknot I believe it was.
thisdamnthingy the first time I saw trivium was opening for slipknot on the AHIG tour. In Houston. Was a fantastic show.
2012 was the last time I saw Slipknot, could be another year before they get back down here. I hope to see them at least once more. The 2012 show, it was also celebrating Pauls life, so parts of it were deeply emotional and the end of the show, his guitar, mask and suit were all onstage.
thisdamnthingy same here last time I seen them was when they headlined the 2012 Mayhem fest
Don't worry about being in the crowd when the mosh pit starts. There is plenty of warning and most people will make sure that those that don't want any part of it will be moved out of harms way. If you fall and don't get up quickly someone will help you up. Everyone is there to support the band, have fun, and go home safe. Metalheads look after metalheads at shows.
Edit: except at the warped tour. The asshole to metalhead ratio is a lot worse there because there are a lot of non metalheads there
and warped isn't very metal ...lol.
I was just at warped and there was a ton of douches in the crowd
Yeah and at hardcore shows you might wanna watch out. Crowd killing is a thing...
Assholes were everywhere at warped this year. During motionless set i clearly didnt want to be in the mosh and this asshole just came up and punched me in the face. He was like twice my size too i was pissed
@@dantewigman6225 that's f***** up
Matt is (always has, and always will be) a legend for hooking you up with VIP, and you have no idea how jealous I am that you got to meet them and stand at the other side of the barrier!
Would love to hear what your favourite songs were, including those you haven't reacted to!
My dude. I have to say your edits are on point.
Cameron Thornton thank you so much!
Alex GOAT Vlog, for me! Thank you & just a nugget of advice....get a puppy sitter...just sayin'! Great to see two people HAPPY on a day like today... or yesterday...or...you know! Peace man.
Concert Matrix Reloaded you have always been a day1 I’ll never forget you. ❤️❤️❤️
No freaking way you actually met them!
Bro, I've been listening to Trivium for the past 7 or 8 years and never ever haved I seen them live, and you did in just a couple of weeks! Plus, Matt was wearing his Emperor T-Shirt, that's my favorite t-shirt in his collection , that makes me so jealous right now, but proud.
You gotta send me one ''Dope ass t-shirt'' for me to take that jealousy away and keep only the proud.
No but seriously i won't stop commenting till i won one of your t-shirts!
The metal brotherhood is real dude! Welcome to the family 🖤🤘
I'd have to say that NOW you're a member of the metal family. Going and experiencing this is a real eye opener, right?
Sarah said that it's like a brotherhood. She's totally right, except I like to call it a family.
It's a place where everybody is exactly like you. And that's a good feeling.
So glad it was Trivium. One of the best live bands I've seen and they are so professional in a good way. I went alone, and it was one of the best concert experience ever
That's so fucking cool! I love how open minded you guys are, I wish I could have come!
WE STOLE YOU HAHAHAHA if you dident realize yet your not a hip hop head and more lol you belong to us now MUAHAHAHA
Thiefed 🤣🤣🤣
Hes now on our side. She will continue his Training. We proceed Programm' Metal' . First Project A. Hefner has social connected 100%. I feel the Danger of a Rehab is NOT given, lets go to Step 3 imo His Housearrest can be turned down to 6 Days a Week, and lets give him a Eminem CD , for Tests if the Hypno worked.
Fuggen YOINK
You've now witnessed the beauty in the metal community. Our music can be intimidating, but most of us are welcoming and accepting. So glad you guys had the opposite outcome compared to what you expected.
Trivium is one of my favorite to see im so glad y’all had fun
Love the Code Orange profile picture!
What you were saying about it being like a family is definitely true. I went to my first metal concert when I was about 10, it was either Mastodon or Opeth, I can't remember which was first but the two were quite close together, and normally I'm not great with big crowds of people, I never really have been, but concerts are completely different for me. It's exactly like that thing you mentioned briefly about everyone being on the same wavelength, it's almost like I instinctively know now and knew from the start that everyone here's chill, these people are my people.
Samoclese it's so weird isn't it?? Like people are equally happy to be left alone or to have a chat with you and neither feels awkward. Idk much about sympathetic energy, but it's definitely something I feel at a metal gig. First time I was 9, watching Disturbed, Halestorm and Papa Roach and this guy at the end gave me this pick he'd managed to catch that night, because he wanted my first one to be memorable. I'll never stop loving metalheads
Hell yea Alex its been an amazing journey watching ur musical taste transform
MUDCORPSE He is turning into a metal head
and we're all just waiting for the day he admits he likes metal more than hip-hop, aren't we
Ironically, metalheads are probably the most chill out of music fans and are usually very nice, and caring people
So glad you guys had fun. I’ve seen them about 5 times and they are the best and you’re right, matt is the coolest guy ever.
Jake S next week will be my 10th time
It’s funny how she mentions that people are drunk and high to rap/Hip-Hop concerts. I never get drunk to metal concerts. I enjoy the music way more sober than drunk. If I wanna get drunk I’ll head out afterwards but not during the show :)
I think it's a lot to do with the way that the majority of people within the groups that listen to the different genres experience the music. With a lot of music the majority of people that listen to it just really have it as enjoyable background noise while they're doing things, those are the kinds of people that tend to go get drunk and stoned at gigs, but the majority of metal listeners want to take in the music in as much detail as they can and fully enjoy it. Of course there are exceptions to the rule on both sides, I'm sure there are people that go to rap shows to appreciate the music and I don't been to any metal shows where I haven't smelled weed at least a couple of times throughout the night but most of the time I think it's purely down to the majority's method of experiencing the music on a day to day basis.
Every gig I've ever been too I've always been surrounded by drunk people. Maybe it's different in the states. But the UK is mental.
I'm in the UK too. I tend to only ever really see drunk people at the local shows at bars and stuff, but even then that's only really after the band are finished and everyone's just hanging around. Maybe I've just been lucky, I dunno.
Samoclese depends where you stand really and what type of gigs you go too. We always go to the pub first
Oliver Pedersen when I saw Blind Guardian, the bar was empty, but the merch line was insane 🤣🤘
Machine by Born of Osiris!! You will not regret it!!!
FOLLOW THE SIGNS
Enough said.
Glad you enjoyed it. I've seen Trivium 6 times and they have never disappointed. Welcome to the family.
As i lay dying the sound of truth plz... Also trivium are really good live. Glad you had fun.
Stephen Tzivras I hope he sees this cus As I Lay Dying is my favorite metal band. Glad As I Lay Dying are back together 😁
gustavo leal same. So happy they are back.
I started on as I lay dying when they came back it was unexpected but their new song was excellent I hope we can get a reaction on as I lay dying whether it's sound of truth, my own grave or 94 hours
Matt is legit one of the most relaxed and open dudes in the whole metal world. He's so down to earth, so chill, and very friendly!
So happy to see you enjoyed it, but happier that she enjoyed it too and kept on trying not to smile. It is wonderful that all fears were destroyed. Believe it or not, studies have proven metal actually makes people calmer. It doesn’t matter where one is from because this art brings us all together. Love and respect are part of the package. Keep searching for more and check your Twitter messages.
Glad you enjoyed the show man, it's always blown my mind how welcoming and friendly metal shows have always been. For such angry music everybody is so damn chill
Awesome you got to meet them! My brother got to meet them years back when they were really in their prime at a small venue, and still has all the drum kit they signed. Kind of a little jealous I've never really got to do the same!
Trivium is by far one of my favorite metal bands of all time, glad you enjoyed seeing them live. Even cooler was Matt reaching out to you to hook you up with VIP tickets and such, Matt is just one of the few people I would to sit down and have a good time talking to for a few hours about really anything.
I'm so happy you are taking what you are from this gig. I'm happy you had a great time \m/
Was nice meeting you Alex! I saw myself and my buddy in the video! Glad you had a blast.
I got REALLY stoked when you said they hooked you up! that is so cool! Feels like im so invested in your metal journey! :D I'm glad you got to see some live stuff! it takes the music to a whole new level! Last weekend i camped at a metal festival for 4 days. Such a good time and the metal family is awesome! everyone is friendly and inviting! love it!
Love my Trivium brothers. Matt, Corey, Paolo are very genuine guys. Always stop and chat with them when they are in town. I have not had the opportunity to meet Alex yet. Glad you had a great time!
Love how loud the concert is, so loud it messes with your audio recording lmfao
if you use samsung s8 you don't have distorted sound.
It worked for iron maiden this year. No distorted sound. Never went to a slayer concert due to that they suck for a while and before that I was too young to go.
i phone guys^^
The worst spot to record sound of a live-band is right in the middle in front of the stage! You get naked 'monitor'-sound and too much acoustic crap. The best spot is in front of my mixing desk.
Thanks for the footage. I’m still extremely jealous. I want to see Trivium too. Glad y’all enjoyed the scene. It’s one of the coolest things there is to experience. An escape. Glad y’all had a great time.
Matt Heafy is a G
I'm really happy to see you go to metal concerts. Trust me, this is just the beginning. You're gonna fall in love with lots of other bands and I'm pretty sure you're gonna be attending lots of other concerts too. I'm really happy for you too because you got to meet TRIVIUM! For me, it would be a dream come true, but I'm really happy that got to meet those amazing dudes. This vlog really shows how excited you and Sarah really were, for the concert and I could feel the intensity of it, just by watching it on TH-cam. Lastly, I'd just like to thank you Alex, for being really humble as you always are. I love you and your channel. Keep making reaction videos and soon you're gonna turn into a METALHEAD just like all of us :)
Bro, I'm so glad you enjoyed the show an enjoyed the beer donation...LOL Thanks for sharing your experience! I promise- when Disturbed tours again, I'm gonna come down from Dallas and take yall to a Disturbed concert!
I've been a Metal head since 84.I will never get to see these videos for the first time again. Seeing through your eyes, I get to kinda do that again. Thank you.
When are you gonna stop calling yourself a "Hip-hop Head"? You're much more than that now. You can now also say you are a Metal Head. You've come a long way.
ROWDYtheCAT but that’s his thing at this point so I don’t think he will
Thats what give him views
Trivium is absolutely one of the best bands I've seen when it comes to live performances, really tight and solid with good stage presence. Truly a bunch of great musicians. Matt is also a really stand up guy and keeps an eye out for anything wrong in the audience.
Dude I saw my first show at 15. I'm 46 now and I'm going to SLAYER Anthrax Lamb of God Testament and Napalm Death on the 7th. Once it's in your blood you're hooked
Jerry Welch That show is gonna be INSANE! Congrats man! Have a blast!!🤘🤘🤘
Jerry Welch Btw, I heard that Slayer was retiring, what's up wit dat??
I saw them a couple a weeks ago and bro that shit was dope as fuck
I was at the Irvine show on May 11th, such a dope show.
I saw all of them with Behemoth instead of Napalm Death in Ohio. Amazing show. I’m seeing them again in Atlanta. Hope you have a great time man
Things like this is why they've been my favourite band for over 10 years! Love these dudes!
Glad you got to see them and meet them! I first saw them in 2010.
In fact the first thing I ever uploaded was footage from that show! Seen them about 5 times total, amazing band, amazing people!
Welcome to the family ❤️
The Metal community welcomes everyone with open arms. Most mosh pits I have ever been in no matter how rowdy if someone went down, they were helped back up to keep it going so dont be scared of hopping in!
been a trivium fan since 2004, I still get goosebumps when I see them live or in live videos, love this band
Matt Heaffy and the guy's know that instead of fighting new media, they find a way that works for them and the fans. I love the Vlog and what's cool some other music reacters have also meat Trivium, but without VIP/press pass, so that's cool as hell!
The TriviumMemes twitter and Instagram is one of the greatest things to exist on the internet
Bless, that's so sweet that you were hooked up with all of this. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! The moshpit is super fun and friendly, nothing to worry about, plus it is a good way to move more to the front through it ;) tons will have said it already, if you do fall, people will always pick you up, it's about the fun of jumping around and into each other cause you're into the song. THere can be people who have a different approach, but it's rare.
Holy shit you got the ultra deluxe treatment on this one I'm jealous.
Numberplay bro we got lucky! Trivium are the coolest guys ever!
I think we're all proud of you. You took the step from videos to concerts. ONE OF US ONE OF US!!!
Holy shit it’s about time, was worried about ya bro!!! Lol
Mitchell Cambron yeah I thought they got lost in the mosh pit
Sounds like you guys tapped into what I love most about going to shows. When she said "I want to be in that section," and you said the word brotherhood. There's nothing like 20,000 people gathering in one place that are all there for the reason. They all share the same passion. All of the normal social differences are gone. No one there cares about your race, religion, political views, age, etc. You're there for the music. You're there to celebrate a band that makes music you love. It's an amazing experience. And when the band stops and let's the crowd sing a verse or two, there's nothing in the world like hearing 20,000 sing in unison. Imagine how the band feels hearing that many people sing their music...
Glad you two had a great time. It's an amazing experience it, and I can't wait for the next one!
When slipknot starts touring you need to go there! wich will probably be when they release their next album (probably somwhere in 2019) now thats gonna be dope!
aledas dasdasdsa rumour has it that the album will be released by May of next year, and the tour will start in July or August. Nothing solid, but that's the time frame I've seen so far.
Panzer Priest92 wohooo im soooo hyped!!
Panzer Priest92 That's what I heard too. Nothing confirmed yet.
aledas dasdasdsa that would be awesome ill be 15-16 when i go and i wanna mosh!!!
SynTheSK Syn yea i will be 16 soo hyped
Glad you guys had a good time dude!! Metal concerts are something totally out of this world!!
Awesome to see that you guys reached out embraced the music and the culture for what it is.
Glad you guys enjoyed your first concert, hope to see you branch out and experience more metal bands live!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Wassup bro. Just found your channel about 15 hrs ago and watched every video back to back. Awesome that your enjoy the metal community and those shirts are bad ass. Glad you got to see trivium as your first concert. They were also my first concert with five finger death punch and it was stellar. Sorry this comment is super long but just wanted to say I love your channel bro and keep rockin!!!
Justin Jones welcome to the family!
Glad you guys had a good time! Hope to see more concert reactions. :)
Trivium is awesome. Now that you popped your metal concert cherry, you need to experience one of the pinnacles of metal live....Metallica.
I know some people are going to give me shit about that, but I’ve been to more metal concerts than I’m comfortable admitting and I can truthfully say that there is nothing, and I mean nothing, like the energy of a Metallica concert. They just put out this energy that’s so intense and the crowd throws it right back. For people in their 50s, they still have an insane amount of endurance and energy live. They essentially got known and famous for being a live band and for touring and that hasn’t changed.
I took my then 70 year old father to the last Metallica show I was able to attend in 2009 (I’ll probably never get to go to another due to moving, a catastrophic injury and anxiety issues) but I got to meet them at that concert and then enjoy the concert from great seats with my dad who had never been to any concert, let alone a metal concert. He was blown away by them and the energy, I still remember that day as vividly as if it were yesterday. Unfortunately he passed away in October, a week after turning 79. I guess that’s another reason I don’t want new Metallica concert memories...if my last was with him and that memorable...I’m ok with that.
Anyway, sorry for bringing everyone down. Go see Metallica when they come around by you next, I promise you won’t regret it bud.
Take care.
clonexx I'd recommed Gojira and Meshuggah aswell
I KIND OF agree with you. TBH, I think Metallica live nowadays is pretty bad. The fact that they don't practice as much as they should (listen to any recent live edition of Blackened, its inexcusable) and cut solos and change the flow of songs and stuff is unacceptable in my opinion. That being said, they are legends, and the sheer size and energy of their show and their audience is something any metal head should experience. That being said, I think Iron Maiden or Megadeth still perform far better live.
I saw metallica live and it was amazing af. But to be honest iron maiden was even better live. And they're 10 years older than metallica.
I finally get to experience Metallica live this year. They haven't come to my area in about 15 years, and back then I wasn't able to be around for that show.
I'd also recommend him to go see Lamb of God.
clonexx I saw metallica live and it was great.But i think Iron maiden is better.
Glad you got to enjoy, just make sure you are in the crowd, hands down the best up close experience
This kind of stuff is just awesome to see, Trivium are really cool dudes for doing shit like this :D I'm glad you had a good time at your first metal show, now you're part of it!
The metal community is one of the best communities you can be a part of. We're a family and we look out for each other. For the most part
If you ever get the chance to see Slipknot live you need to jump on that opportunity. They put on the greatest live shows you will ever see and the crowds they get are unbelievable!
Omg man, so cool that u got to meet all of them and have that conversation with them, and had such a great experience. This is so cool Alex! So glad y’all got to have a night like this! Too bad u didn’t experience any of the actual crowd or letting out and going thru the pit... nevertheless, so cool to see this. So happy for y’all!
this makes me miss going to concerts and now need to see trivium live
Matt and the rest of Trivium are such down to earth dudes, great to see you had a great time. Welcome to the community bro!
Wow man! It's amazing that Trivium got you as the VIP and that you had the opportunity to talk to them. Most of fans cannot experience such things, but you could, and the most unbelievable thing is that it's just your first metal gig! Truly amazing :D Cheers!
Thamnos Records we were super blessed!
Welcome to the Brother and Sisterhood of Metal! It's why I listen and play it. The fans are full of energy and respect for each other and the bands. There is nothing like being onstage and looking out at a crowd and getting the feeling of family!
You guys need to react to the Batmetal Trilogy PLEASE!!!!
Oh yes!
Or just do a dethklok reaction
Yes ! Would be a lot of fun !
anvilofcrom1 yeah dethklok reaction would be way better.
Lol! Yes!
The metal community is awesome and always super welcoming. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Don't be to scared of the pit, either. People help you up if you fall. And I had someone help me find my glasses once when they went flying off my face. You might get beat up a bit, but it's cathartic.
The hell!? You look taller than Matt Heafy and that's a lot! You are TALL man! Anyways! Glad you enjoyed one of my favourite bands ever!
*EDIT: He did actually saw this!
Charles Wolf I was just gonna say that. Matt is really tall man actually
Charles Wolf Matt is 6'3".
I know, guys! But Alex looks taller
Hey man! Just wanted to say thank you! Believe it or not I come home every day from football to binge watch your videos lmao. Its kind of a safe space for me, it gives me some laughs and a new expansion for my music and a different outlook on the music i already listen to. Love ya man! Keep it up!
Wonder what the next show is going to be! Glad you guys had fun, it was super cool of Trivium to hook you guys up like that
Metal is life man. The community is like nothing you've been a part of. And I'm grateful for all of my brothers and sisters who share these experiences with me at every single show I go to. I love you guys. Although I'm super curious if you'd like a band called Oceans Ate Alaska.
They put on a great show 👍
So happy for you to live this experience. Trivium is one of my favorite band and I didn't have the chance to see them in France.
I love your videos btw !!
Glad you got to experience your first metal show. Glad you two had a great time..welcome to the metal head community, you have been co-opted, Muahahaha.
Keep it up, best of luck to you both m8
This is awesome! Thanks for all the positivity you are putting out for the metal family
What's up Alex? I'm glad you came to the Metal Side of life! Next time, try doing some headbanging even if you haven't long hair! It doesn't matters! Keep supporting metal! 😎🤘 and remember what i told ya about Ronnie James Dio! \m/
I am super glad you had a great time at your first metal show! It's definitely always amazing to hear when newcomers to the community get to experience a great show and it sounds like you guys truly understand why it is that metalheads love the music so much. Especially the part where you guys talked about how it felt like a "brotherhood" of sorts. That's exactly how it feels, especially at Folk Metal concerts. It's just a bunch of passionate fans bonding over a mutual love of the music and the bands.
The single best concert experience I have ever experienced is seeing Sabaton live. They are some of the coolest dudes ever and their energy is so positive and invigorating that I hope you get to check them out and maybe see them in the future if you end up liking them! They are a swedish power metal band who do songs about world history, particularly historical battles, campaigns, heroes and famous last stands. They are very charismatic and their banter onstage is almost like standup comedy.
Anyways, if you end up curious to check them out, I would definitely say you should check out a live version of a song on the channel, just to get an idea of the band. I would suggest "Ghost Division (France 2016)" as that showcases their energy and that is how they start off every show.
Either way, rock on and glad you had a great time, my friend \m/
Trivium looked awesome. Enjoying the metal vids Alex. Thanks.
Need to check out Alien Weaponry. Recommend Kai Tangata.
I second this
I love alien Weaponry
NZ represent!
Yes! I agree. Those guys give me hope for the future of metal.
You guys got it right. The best is when the audience and the band are feeding off each other's energy. You feel like you belong to something bigger.
That's the great thing about the metal community, it is like a brotherhood. All too often, because we listen to alternative music, we are looked down upon, we get this unwarranted and inaccurate reputation for being violent, satanists, into sacrifices and the like, but I can guarantee you that is very much not true and most of us are actually really nice, down to earth people. Sure, mosh pits look dangerous and violent, but in reality, any good mosh pit will be a bunch of guys/gals, just loving the music and getting into it, and 9 times out of 10, if someone falls, there will be a dozen or more people there to help them back up, and the people surrounding them will make sure they are ok. I don't know where we get this reputation of being dangerous people from, but it is very much the opposite. granted, you will get the occasional douche-balloon, but then, you get those in every walk of life.

Are satanists more violent than others tho??
🤔
Been an satanist since '03 and tbh.. you can't really tell us apart.. if you were to compare next to someone "regular".
I mean..
Most people (whether they like to admit it or not)
are actually livinga satanic lifestyle..
But why is that even a bad thing??
Oh no no, I wasn't insinuating that satanists are violent or bad people by any means at all, it was more meant that satanism has gotten this bad reputation, again, for being violent, into sacrifices, etc... Now I know that's not true, but because people associate satanism with evil, they automatically assume that if you listen to metal, you must be into it. I am not at all suggesting that satanists are bad people at all, it just seems that all of these things get bundled together because ignorant people are too stupid or lazy to actually find out anything about it before they make flash judgements

Oh i agree 100%with that..
As an admin on a satanist fb group.. the sheer amount of stupid we often get (from ignorant twits) is almost mindblowing.
Funny enough its more often questions about "how to join the illuminati" and/or how to get rich ..
Stupidity should be oh so painful..
If it was up to me
It has got a bit of a reputation for being Satanist music tho when most of it's got nothing to do with Satanism whatsoever nor are all the bands Satanists them selves.. Most aren't … When I was a teen in the 90's listening to standard metal like metallica , pantera, sepultura etc.. I was shunned by some groups as a devil worshipper.. lol We had some Christian guy come out to our school and warn us away from this satan music.. None of us were Satanists lol We just liked heavy music.
Metal heads are not only the nicest people on earth they're funny af
"Douche balloon" I'm done 😂😂😂
I started watching this channel because I used to listen to rap. I found that I resonated way more with metal. I am always so excited to see what you think about my favorite bands. I AM SO JEALOUS YOU SAW TRIVIUM!! I can't WAIT until I can!
That was awesome! We need more content like this!
Metal/rock shows are my home. The energy of the pit literally gets me high. Seeing all the people that I have a common interest with (the band/genre) gives an indescribable sense of family. We all look out for each other there whether in the pit (like I always am) or on the upper decks. 🖤🤘🖤
So happy you all had a good time at Trivium! Would you please react to some Erra? Do Drift or The Hypnotist or Rebirth or Hybrid Earth. Literally anything off the Augment or Drift albums. Please! Been waiting for you to do some Erra!
He should listen to Dementia from the Augment album. That song is a masterpiece.
Hell yeah. Basically anything from Augment. That album is phenomenal
Reàlly glad you both enjoyed yourself. Theres is nothing like a live metal show. I'm a scottish metalhead of nearly 45yrs so i've seen a lot of different genres over the years. And i still love it. Keep it real 🤘🤘 🤘🤘
Love to see your reaction to either Swedish Pagans or Attero Dominatus by Sabaton.
They are a War Themed Power Metal band from Sweden.
(Pretty much all there songs are in English. Attero dominatus is as well, it’s just the title that’s in Latin.)
The whole band, are just super chill dudes, i'm super stoked for you guys to actually meet them, hopefully i get to when they hopefully tour Australia
I was REALLY debating on actually watching ANY of your videos,but this one has been on my feed all day and I was hoping that you would give the difference between what this show was like verses a hip-hip concert because I've never been to a hip-hop show before. I'm glad the two of you had a good time,I know I always do \M/
See everyone you can,support the local scene too if you have one. Be apart of the metal community,we have cookies.
I saw Lacuna Coil last year, supported by 2 Melbourne based bands and I love them both now as well.
Cookie! I bake my own.
thisdamnthingy Oh solid,we'll meet up and trade recipes at the next Slayer show \M/
Not sure who I'll be seeing next, gotta save up and pick a show.
I kinda cheat when I bake, I use cookie dough, but somehow they taste better than made from scratch.
thisdamnthingy Yea that's fine. In some ways I prefer just straight up cookie dough.
You'll find a show. I have a few lined up (Slayer,Impact Festival,Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson,Ozzy)
Manson/Zombie, that should be spectacular.
I would love to travel to Europe and go to those massive festivals, we just don't have that many in Australia.
Certainly not for the heavier stuff.
May 4th, 2018, my wife and I went to our first metal concert, too. We'd been to shows before, but not together and not metal. Trivium was our first, too! I highly recommend Trivium for a first show for everyone. Bonus: Matt has a channel on Twitch. When he isn't on tour he's gaming and doing guitar clinics. But when they're on tour you BETTER keep up with the channel. His wife tags along and airs every show on Twitch. Live. I saw a few shows prior to the one my wife and I went to, and I was NOT disappointed when we went to see them for ourselves. Unfortunately, I brought one of my guitars to sign but couldn't meet up with them after the show. That would have been the best thing ever. First metal show, first time seeing Trivium, with my wife on my arm, and having my Razorback signed by the band. Awesome night, despite not getting the signatures. Love your videos. And if I haven't yet said it, welcome to the metal fandom!
next time you go, dont hesitate, dont be scared, jump right in. Moshpits look crazy, they are, and there is no need for you to get in them. If there is open close to you, they will let you out right away if you dont want to be in it. We look out for each other, 99% of the time! But a metal show, for me, is most about uniting the Band and the Fans, and the feeling you get when shouting lyrics, pumping your first or simply jumping up and down together is one of the best in the world.
Also, dont wait around for the big ones, I am sure there plenty of small shows to go to. go do that, see what the Base is doing and get out there. :)
Dude if you want to be like us - then go into the crowd, the moshpit, feel the real energy of metal, metalcore, whatever. But please...do not stand there make videos and talk about energy. You'll never feel it - when you never ever are part of it.
Trivium is one of my favorite bands, I've seen them 5 times live and got to meet them at the Oklahoma Metal Fest a couple years ago. Super cool guys. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the show and the entire metal experience.
If you want the freak show, virgin sacrifices, etc..... that would be a Gwar concert, lol. Cool man, glad y'all had a blast! Not a particular Trivium fan (nothing against em either) but they seemed like real cool guys.
killerpeaches7 they were so damn cool!
Lol Gwar!! I was giggling about that earlier when I watched the vlog.. Lol Imagine if Gwar was their first show … fake blood and guts and total craziness haha.. lol I seen them at a festival.. Wasn't a fan so was near the back but at the end I seen the guys from the front come out of the crowd .. Covered in the fake blood they were shooting into the crowd lol Like totally red.. Not a fan of Gwars music tho "just not my taste" but they put on a hell of a show lol
.......check out Zimmer's Hole. You will Thank me later
