if we had such pastors here in germany, i would go perhaps to church again... but i lost all hope to have that chance... we do not even understand them here, because they often come either from Asia or Africa and speak a really bad German...
Your guest literally talked over the entire song and didn't allow you to listen. I generally enjoy your reactions and your insight garnered from the song after it's played. Sadly, he ruined this one for me.
exactly.. its about the music, vocals and lyrics.. after the song, talk your christianic stuff .... i want to see the reactions on the music and singing. And telling us that your lost the good stuff after you have a familly .. thats just sad. How come you cant enjoy this music after wife and kids. :)
wow. i just found this channel and couldn't''t get a minute into the song because of this. Glad to see this is not common, so I will check out other videos.
I had the honor of jamming with this band back in the early 2000's. They just kicked out their bass player and held open auditions. This is the song that I was asked to play in front of them. They ended up hiring a guy from another band that they already knew and had toured with...but still...an event in my life that I'll never forget.
You do realize David grew up as an orthodox (drum) jew and the way he was treated led him to a lot of his ideas. For someone who cares so much about the band I'm pretty surprised u don't know David's back story.
Um....I see it as David maybe asking God to return to him after his hardship of life as a younger man. His drug use and being cast out for his choice of music over his law education. He has a backstory so many don't really care enough to read. His pain is real and his music is his journey back to and thru his truth. Do a little research into the man and everything becomes clear as far as his message. And btw....I am NOT a Christian in anyway shape or form. I read the story and listened to interviews and understand. This reaction is so wrong in my opinion.
His grandfather was a big player in the Jewish synagogue not sure what but he disowned David so did his parents..they didnt even hear him sing with the band until around 12years into their fame ...so i heard anyways 😎
I was going to post that they don’t seem to realize what Draiman was about. He was responding to conservative Christians who would say great calamities were God’s wrath for liberal attitudes on insert culture war issue here. The song was his way of saying that as a devout Jew, God as portrayed by the fundamentalist evangelical televangelist types wasn’t the God he believed in- that if God was really the wrathful monster they portrayed Him as, he (Draiman) wasn’t intimidated by Him since he’d already endured his very own personal Hell.
I enjoy all these videos. You should do “I’m not Jesus” by apocalyptica ft Corey Taylor. The band uses cellos instead of guitars. Also the lyrical content seems quite relevant for the times with the Catholic Church
I honestly don't like his approach to this as much as the usual handling of content on this channel, but I like the idea of him being an intermittent guest simply because he changes the format of the videos up. Variety isn't something I consider bad, but I wouldn't want him as a replacement for how the channel usually runs. Having the songs play through with *QUIET* reactions then a post-song analysis is preferred for me in general.
For me it did kind of ruin the reaction part of the song but I really enjoyed his analysis after and his comments during were interesting it just took away from the song. I wish he would be back but take that into consideration. I think it would definitely be a different case if they had both never heard the song also. You always pay more attention the first few times listening than you do after
"It's like Job being put through trials and tribulations and still coming through unscathed and achieving his redemption," Draiman said. "In particular the song is about the clergy's reaction to 9/11[...] Instead of consoling their flock, people like Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts chastised them and used the situation as a means of empowerment, saying it was our own fault because we're a decadent and promiscuous people. I just thought that whole notion is ridiculous. It's not very godly for a God to inflict pain and suffering on his people to elicit a response. I would hope that God wouldn't be that petty. But if that's what is happening and you're inflicting pain and suffering to get me to return [to the flock], bring it on. There's nothing that you're going to do to me that's going to change my conviction or change my path."
Although i can appreciate the nostalgia, technical aspects of the music and the aesthetics of David D, there was way too much talking over the song. Anyone watching this video missed the message of the song. It was super disappointing that we were no able to appreciate the music because of the constant distraction.
I love this song. Every time I get those bad thoughts in my head and start feeling worthless I listen to this song and it reminds me that no matter what, there are people suffering far worse things than you could imagine, and you should be grateful for what you have, even if it is just your life, because death is worse than any form of suffering, and the dead wish they were even alive
I love your channel and reactions, one tip, less conversation through the song. Some people may not have heard the song before and hard to listen to it when there is alot of talking. By all means speak but conversations take away from the song and get into it. Peace ✌
David Draiman loves covering songs. In addition to “Shout” and “Sound of Silence”, Disturbed has done “Land of Confusion” by Genesis, “Midlife Crisis” by Faith No More, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by U2 (Disturbed shortened the title to “ISHFWILF”), and “Living After Midnight” by Judas Priest. Draiman’s other band, Device, covered “Wish” by Nine Inch Nails. “Inside the Fire” is a must and you need to know the backstory for best context discussion-David found his girlfriend after she hung herself when they were 16 and the song is based on his thoughts and emotions in that moment.
What I love about this album (and especially this song) is based on Job which is my favorite book. David wrote this around his father’s declining health and death.
When is this channel going to do some Marilyn Manson? I mean, how can you even do a "pastor reacts" channel without including the Antichrist Superstar...
Wow. Awesome dicussion and anaylsis coming from a Christian myself. Exactly what i needed to hear from DMC after an extremely difficult week. Honestly think God guided to me to watch this video and hear this after the struggle I've been through this week. Kudos to both of you guys and thanks for the content as always.
I wanted to leave a comment to say the same!! I've been struggling and I've also been struggling with my faith, badly. I really like this channel and I like your attitude and demeanor, Pastor Rob! I was SUPER surprised to learn you're in the Orlando area! I was born there and live a couple hours north of you in Starke, FL, and WJRR is one of my favorite stations and I still listen to them up here when I am able to. Would love to take a trip and sit thru a sermon with ya some time! A Pastor like you, who is passionate about music and likes to pick apart the lyrics the way I do, could be what it takes to get me on a better path and understand things better. Keep up the great work, I am now subscribed and am super glad I stumbled upon your channel by accident this evening! I also liked DMC ( bet you guys didn't think that name would stick haha) and his view of this song! I believe the song was indeed about Job when I first saw it. God Bless you and thank you for the great videos!!
So, Dr Mike needs to NOT talk thru entire song. That was frustrating. Good things to say but should've waited till it was over imho. David's voice is amazing and when he took his leave from Disturbed for a few years and was doing the family thing even after doing Device, the rest was everything his vocals needed. When they returned with the Sound of Silence cover, you get to hear jist how exactly how great he is. Love Disturbed and jeep doing great tunes guys. Appreciate it.
You guys sort of missed the point, yet you were holding it: this is the sorry of Job. It is not Disturbed speaking, they are literally telling the story of Job. Disturbed was never "new age" philosophy : Drainman was in school to be a rabbi initially. There is a lot of faith and discussion in their music about God.
@Johnny13Ghost yes you are correct, the music video is designed based on Job. "Prayer" was directed by the Brothers Strause as a music video in late June 2002 and released the next month. Vocalist David Draiman, who wrote the treatment for the music video, explained that the music video is based on the story of Job from the Bible. Throughout the music video, Draiman is walking down a street and passes various scenes of desperation, such as a prostitute, a homeless man, and a preacher predicting the end of the world. As Draiman continues to walk, the other members of Disturbed have various disasters befall them, and are presumably killed. (Steve Kmak is buried under falling debris, Dan Donegan crashes his car, and Mike Wengren is hit by a nearby construction explosion.) At the climax of the music video, Draiman survives an earthquake, and the remaining band members eventually come back to life and congregate with Draiman to play the last chorus. Draiman explains, "It's like Job being put through trials and tribulations and still coming through unscathed and achieving his redemption."[1] Upon release, various media outlets refused to air the music video for "Prayer", citing its alleged similarities to imagery from the September 11 attacks in the United States. Disturbed originally made plans to edit the video for airplay,[2] but eventually chose not to.[4] Draiman explained this choice when he said, "If we agreed to edit the video...then it's assuming that we're agreeing with the decision that there's something about the video that is offensive enough or provocative enough that it's dangerous for them to play it. We don't agree with that."[4] Draiman further criticizes the decision to take the video off of the air instead of other videos, "We don't have a character in our video who portrays Osama bin Laden and jumps and dances around, which is a direct recollective factor to 9/11."[4] The intent of the music video was not to depict similarity to the September 11 attacks, according to Draiman. He explained this by saying, "It was meant to be apocalyptic, but it was never intended to be derivative of the situation that happened on 9/11. Because of the subject matter...we needed something grandiose like an earthquake or a meteor shower or some kind of act of God to show the hand of the supernatural or some greater power."[4] He further explained that the video was actually meant to be uplifting. Draiman said, "[The video is] about getting through life's obstacles and all the tests that fate may throw at you in the process. It's trying to convince you that you have the strength to get through whatever trials and tribulations may come your way. It's supposed to inspire hope."[4] Despite "Prayer" receiving little airplay, Disturbed continued to promote the music video by including it on their album, Believe, and by posting it on various websites.[4]
Katie McLaughlin I thought job went through poverty, sickness and other stuff and he was upset and confused why this happened to him. God shows up and says to him, I am God.... God! Who are you? Did you make the light? Etc. lol
@@matthiasprice read the above comment. I didnt write the song or direct the video. I just am going by what David Draiman said in the video clip that is on the Believe album which can be seen by putting it in the computer.
Super excited to watch this video, one of my favourite all time bands and songs EDIT: After seeing the video, I have to say Dr. Mike brings an interesting dynamic to the video. Being already familiar with metal he surely has some wisdom to share on the songs, like this one for instance, being that he had such a long time to think about the songs from a religious standpoint. Along with Rob who brings the first impression side of the argument, having two perspectives on the song is very interesting..
Fit for a King, any of this three songs The Price of Agony When Everything Means Nothing Oblivion Oceans Ate Alaska, their song Hansha Theocracy, their song Laying the Demon to Rest Really enjoy the channel
So many choices for AILD, but yeah, My Own Grave is a good pick. I was so happy when they announced that they reformed. But since they split up I found a substitute which is now one of my fav band. Phinehas, absolutely underrated.
I have watched over half of your posted reaction videos. I have to say I have enjoyed all of them for multiple reasons. This one, on the other hand, was extremely hard not to turn off. Your "guest" talks over half of it. Extremely annoying!
When I was at Music as a Weapon II Tour David said to me that he hates that no radio jockey pronounced this title right. He explained to me it was Pray-er as in “one who prays” not prayer. I think knowing this changes how I perceive the song.
As much as I'd like to see a Solway Firth reaction... The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish, live at Tampere is an epic. I mean... If you want to be rocked and all. Good discussion topics for the channel as well. Just sayin'.
As I interpret it, the singer (being Jewish) is probably channeling the story of Job. It's likely the oldest tale in the Torah, predating the exodus and the impact the exodus has on the literature of that society. The character of Job is an anomaly in the old testament, and the attraction of Christians to this story is typical. However, Job hated his lot in life. He chose not to "curse god and die" from the same tradition that spoke not the name in vain. It's liberating to speak your frustration, and comfort to the self to follow the rules you've chosen to love by. Job likely felt every lyric in this song. And he thought this, whether he spoke it aloud or not.
I couldn't sleep one night and I was looking through the feed and i saw your reaction on Slipknot's Unsainted and I like that you and your son are bonding with metal and relating the songs with the Bible. I'm not a Christian but I do believe in the good of life. And when you tell the similarities of the lyrics with the verses of the Bible, it's good to see that Metal lyrics are telling people to not give up and believe in themselves.
I almost didn't watch this because I know this song and am not a big Disturbed fan, but I'm glad I watched. You two pair well together and I love the back and forth with the Biblical knowledge. I'm really glad I found you and this channel. God bless!
Not gonna lie, you guys had me going there for a sec and think man religion came a long way from the fanatical dogma, zealous grandparents, fear god glory days that people got beaten for speaking their own mind and asking questions about a religion that was force onto us as kids. And then the second part of this video came and I remembered why I hate religion. Thanks for reminding me guys, appreciate it and happy holidays.
This is a serious question and I hope you will answer... Why should anyone need to suffer to "glorify God" and why would anyone? It seems that if "He" is all good then that doesn't make any sense at all... "He" should not need or desire any glorification nor should suffering be something that would accomplish that...
I don’t know if you’ve listened to this, or reacted to this, but I think you would love ‘A Reason To Fight’ by Disturbed. The official live video is heart wrenching and such a powerful and beautiful message.
what's funny.....MTV first banned this video cause it was just after 9/11 and they felt it was too soon, but their next video "Remember" was extremely dark with talk of voyeurism and horror, and MTV said "Yea, that's okay".
React to Disturbed Believe and check out the album cover. Never knew until recently that Disturbed was against Christianity. Please react to "Believe", Pastor.
Once again, Disturbed is my favorite band and I’m so glad you listened to this song. This is the first time I saw the lyrics, and before this I thought he was saying “Heaven just isn’t high enough’” instead of “Living just isn’t hard enough.” Lol. Also 101.1 listen to them everyday going in to work and going home.
My take on the lyrics. In the video you see a lot of imagery of misfortune. Homeless people, drug addiction, people of bad circumstance. And I think what he is saying to God is he feels like nobody should be as blessed as him when there are so many who suffer, and he feels remorse and sorrow for them. So much so that he wants God to take away all he has because perhaps the guilt of living a life of Fortune and fame weighs on him when there are constant reminders in life of how much suffering happens.
I would second that as well, great song! I believe the Empty Walls he refers to are the blown up and gutted buildings during war, he wants you to remain alive behind those empty walls, thru it all and survive! Hope that made sense, I'm not completely awake lol.
Dude that angered me so much. Stop talking during the song. Yah talked 5 minutes into the beginning of the video and plenty afterwards. For 4 minutes just omg
Fun fact about this song, they were told to cut some of the footage because alot of the scenery looked like 9/11 but they refused and put it on the internet instead of a music channel like mtv, im not joking, david draiman said it himself
I agree that your guest needs to not talk during the song for real reactions. Save talking for the comments part of the video. This is not a family blog lol
Most pastors I know would say what you two as pastors are doing is dangerous. But I appreciate what y’all do. Most pastors I know have a very humble “holier then thou” if you will. Wouldn’t associate with this music. I wanna visit y’all a church
Repent! I repent not living fully when I should have! I repent not making the enemies who sought me harm suffer, showing compassion instead. I repent allowing them to glorify their evils because of my own passiveness. Had I struck them down, I would have brought them closer to the Truth! Parts of God's Creation cannot comprehend anything but a strike of the whip! ...and here I am again, and now I will not allow my brethren to suffer, unless they have to decreed by the Lord and the Law. I am sorry for everything.
I'll admit that though I've watched the channel for a while, this is the first time that I've actually stayed for the analyses at the end and I actually feel a bit enlightened for having listened.
Good work as usual pastor. You guys have a pretty decent understanding of the meaning of this song, but the one piece of information you're seem to be missing is that this song was written in the aftermath of 9/11. I feel like that would've changed your thought processes slightly to understand that the challenging of God was coming from a place of extreme pain.

Dude i wanna tell you when you talked about God allowed you to suffer.. that part hit deep, fkn deep man I'm not religious I'm curious but man...

Such bad self awareness.
Maybe he’s never done a reaction video before? Lol
agreed.
wow. i just found this channel and couldn't''t get a minute into the song because of this. Glad to see this is not common, so I will check out other videos.
Tbh, he's only talking during the repetitive parts of the song and it's mostly on topic.
I've experienced this phenomena before: The Guy who never stops talking during the song
PD: couldnt finish the video
I couldn't finish your lastname
One guy was totally cool (Robert) while the song was playing and the other sounded like a narcissist who just couldn´t shut up.

@@pwrstrkcmmns LOL
I agree. And the 7 mins intro was too much also
"The dude has a really unique voice to"
You didn't hear most of it man!
Great vid but would love for the doctor needs to keep his life stories to himself during the song
It felt so self-absorbed...
Yeah for real! They need to redo this video and dude needs to shut the fuck up!!
he kinda need to be quiet period lol..save the talking till later
I was gonna post the same thing. Made it to the 8:14 mark and said f this I'm out.
How about no
Stop talking during the song please. Talked way too much and you ignored the song.
Agreed
They have to in order to not get hit with a copyright.
@@BakeNastie That's why you stop the video and talk.
That ruined it for me as well.

You talk too much during the video leave that for b4 and after
I had the honor of jamming with this band back in the early 2000's. They just kicked out their bass player and held open auditions. This is the song that I was asked to play in front of them. They ended up hiring a guy from another band that they already knew and had toured with...but still...an event in my life that I'll never forget.
Amazing to be able to play in their presence I'm sure!
Awesome that you got to play with them and meet them.v

Upon release, various media outlets refused to air the music video for "Prayer", citing its alleged similarities to imagery from the September 11 attacks in the United States. Disturbed originally made plans to edit the video for airplay,[2] but eventually chose not to.[4] Draiman explained this choice when he said, "If we agreed to edit the video...then it's assuming that we're agreeing with the decision that there's something about the video that is offensive enough or provocative enough that it's dangerous for them to play it. We don't agree with that."[4] Draiman further criticizes the decision to take the video off of the air instead of other videos, "We don't have a character in our video who portrays Osama bin Laden and jumps and dances around, which is a direct recollective factor to 9/11."[4]
The intent of the music video was not to depict similarity to the September 11 attacks, according to Draiman. He explained this by saying, "It was meant to be apocalyptic, but it was never intended to be derivative of the situation that happened on 9/11. Because of the subject matter...we needed something grandiose like an earthquake or a meteor shower or some kind of act of God to show the hand of the supernatural or some greater power."[4] He further explained that the video was actually meant to be uplifting. Draiman said, "[The video is] about getting through life's obstacles and all the tests that fate may throw at you in the process. It's trying to convince you that you have the strength to get through whatever trials and tribulations may come your way. It's supposed to inspire hope."[4] Despite "Prayer" receiving little airplay, Disturbed continued to promote the music video by including it on their album, Believe, and by posting it on various websites.[4]
Katie McLaughlin I thought job went through poverty, sickness and other stuff and he was upset and confused why this happened to him. God shows up and says to him, I am God.... God! Who are you? Did you make the light? Etc. lol
@@matthiasprice read the above comment. I didnt write the song or direct the video. I just am going by what David Draiman said in the video clip that is on the Believe album which can be seen by putting it in the computer.
iS tHAt a JoJo rEfErencE?
Holy crap that dude talks too much
Super excited to watch this video, one of my favourite all time bands and songs
EDIT: After seeing the video, I have to say Dr. Mike brings an interesting dynamic to the video. Being already familiar with metal he surely has some wisdom to share on the songs, like this one for instance, being that he had such a long time to think about the songs from a religious standpoint. Along with Rob who brings the first impression side of the argument, having two perspectives on the song is very interesting..
I totally concur!
David was classically trained as a Cantor!
Fit for a King, any of this three songs
The Price of Agony
When Everything Means Nothing
Oblivion
Oceans Ate Alaska, their song Hansha
Theocracy, their song Laying the Demon to Rest
Really enjoy the channel
Please never have him back
MR. Ryan well said! That guy was soo annoying
Great reaction to some old school nu metal. My Own Grave by As I Lay Dying? Next? Maybe? #DMC
So many choices for AILD, but yeah, My Own Grave is a good pick.
I was so happy when they announced that they reformed.
But since they split up I found a substitute which is now one of my fav band.
Phinehas, absolutely underrated.
Yes for sure love that song.
@@SephirothDA Phinehas is awesome!
The green man talked waay to much
TOOL HAS A NEW SONG!!!! Pleaaaaaase react to Fear Inoculum!!!!
Those last chapters of Job are so powerful and remind me of God's power... cuz sometimes I do forget.
“Infra-red” by three days grace.
Please and thank you
“Life is beautiful” sixxam
Pro God Pro life Pro Gun I totally agree with Infra-Red!
I have watched over half of your posted reaction videos. I have to say I have enjoyed all of them for multiple reasons. This one, on the other hand, was extremely hard not to turn off. Your "guest" talks over half of it. Extremely annoying!
You guys should do The Light by Disturbed.
Ian Braun agreed!
Totally!
Yes!!!
NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) Wacken 2013 Please 🙏🙏🙏
YES!
@@Eyrothath one of the best live performances, if not the best.
React to literally anything from Behemoth’s The Satanist album. Preferably “O Father O Satan O Sun”.
if only they would watch satanic Christmas carols. we all want the edgy stuff....
React to Korn - You'll Never Find Me!
You've never done Korn...it's time!
YES or Black is the soul either one!
You need to do Shinedown - Cut The Cord. Every time my 3 year old gits in the truck he ask for the freedom song,
Brett VanDuyn I second this motion! 🤘
Dr. Mike should start another channel. 'How to ruin songs by talking over them'.
rapture hurt would have alot of intresting stuff to discuss as well as false kings by poets of the fall
Yes I'd love to see a reaction vid to this song
agree about rapture - hurt
How do we get them to see this?
REACT TO THE SONG !!!! I don't tune in for the idle chatter ...
I think you should react to IMPENDING DOOM - the SERPENT'S TONGUE
Guy talks to damn much!!
In an interview David Draiman* explained the song and video as being about the modern day version of the biblical story of Job
Exactly
When I was at Music as a Weapon II Tour David said to me that he hates that no radio jockey pronounced this title right. He explained to me it was Pray-er as in “one who prays” not prayer. I think knowing this changes how I perceive the song.
Please, react to "Infected" by Demon Hunter.
As much as I'd like to see a Solway Firth reaction...
The Greatest Show On Earth by Nightwish, live at Tampere is an epic.
I mean... If you want to be rocked and all. Good discussion topics for the channel as well. Just sayin'.
As I interpret it, the singer (being Jewish) is probably channeling the story of Job. It's likely the oldest tale in the Torah, predating the exodus and the impact the exodus has on the literature of that society. The character of Job is an anomaly in the old testament, and the attraction of Christians to this story is typical.
However, Job hated his lot in life.
He chose not to "curse god and die" from the same tradition that spoke not the name in vain.
It's liberating to speak your frustration, and comfort to the self to follow the rules you've chosen to love by.
Job likely felt every lyric in this song.
And he thought this, whether he spoke it aloud or not.
Do A Lamb of god song!! Walk With Me In Hell Or Vigil would be awesome!!
I couldn't sleep one night and I was looking through the feed and i saw your reaction on Slipknot's Unsainted and I like that you and your son are bonding with metal and relating the songs with the Bible. I'm not a Christian but I do believe in the good of life. And when you tell the similarities of the lyrics with the verses of the Bible, it's good to see that Metal lyrics are telling people to not give up and believe in themselves.
I almost didn't watch this because I know this song and am not a big Disturbed fan, but I'm glad I watched. You two pair well together and I love the back and forth with the Biblical knowledge. I'm really glad I found you and this channel. God bless!
Not gonna lie, you guys had me going there for a sec and think man religion came a long way from the fanatical dogma, zealous grandparents, fear god glory days that people got beaten for speaking their own mind and asking questions about a religion that was force onto us as kids. And then the second part of this video came and I remembered why I hate religion. Thanks for reminding me guys, appreciate it and happy holidays.
I love this being proud Christian and proud fan of my favorite rock band Disturbed 🙏🏼💛🤘
Then how the fuck are you a ' Christian'?
This is a serious question and I hope you will answer... Why should anyone need to suffer to "glorify God" and why would anyone? It seems that if "He" is all good then that doesn't make any sense at all... "He" should not need or desire any glorification nor should suffering be something that would accomplish that...
you really should listen to The Hu - Wolf Totem. mongolian metal
I don’t know if you’ve listened to this, or reacted to this, but I think you would love ‘A Reason To Fight’ by Disturbed. The official live video is heart wrenching and such a powerful and beautiful message.
Next, please react to TOOLS NEW song!!!
what's funny.....MTV first banned this video cause it was just after 9/11 and they felt it was too soon, but their next video "Remember" was extremely dark with talk of voyeurism and horror, and MTV said "Yea, that's okay".
You should do Amigo the Devil - preacher feature.
React to Disturbed Believe and check out the album cover. Never knew until recently that Disturbed was against Christianity. Please react to "Believe", Pastor.
Once again, Disturbed is my favorite band and I’m so glad you listened to this song. This is the first time I saw the lyrics, and before this I thought he was saying “Heaven just isn’t high enough’” instead of “Living just isn’t hard enough.” Lol.
Also 101.1 listen to them everyday going in to work and going home.
My take on the lyrics. In the video you see a lot of imagery of misfortune. Homeless people, drug addiction, people of bad circumstance. And I think what he is saying to God is he feels like nobody should be as blessed as him when there are so many who suffer, and he feels remorse and sorrow for them. So much so that he wants God to take away all he has because perhaps the guilt of living a life of Fortune and fame weighs on him when there are constant reminders in life of how much suffering happens.
Please react to this calling by all that remains or I'm broken by pantera
This is the way I pray
Watching this reaction's hard AF
Mute this guy's voice inside
Watching this reaction's hard AF
Take this man's voice awaaaaay
Forget all these other suggestions you need to do Empty Walls by Serj Tankian.
I second that.
I would second that as well, great song! I believe the Empty Walls he refers to are the blown up and gutted buildings during war, he wants you to remain alive behind those empty walls, thru it all and survive! Hope that made sense, I'm not completely awake lol.
I miss you, Pastor Rob! Please keep making more vids :)
Kamelot - Memento Mori
Mike actually has some solid points on how Disturbed is against Christianity. David from Disturbed believes in God, but not Christianity.
20+ minutes of video, about 5 minutes of music, about 0 minutes of relevant/apt comentary. The _perfect_ react video!
Dude that angered me so much. Stop talking during the song. Yah talked 5 minutes into the beginning of the video and plenty afterwards. For 4 minutes just omg
Fun fact about this song, they were told to cut some of the footage because alot of the scenery looked like 9/11 but they refused and put it on the internet instead of a music channel like mtv, im not joking, david draiman said it himself
Why did you talk all the way through this masterpiece?? David Draiman has an amazing voice...
I agree that your guest needs to not talk during the song for real reactions. Save talking for the comments part of the video. This is not a family blog lol
Yeah he definitely talked waaaaaayyyyyyyy too much during the song very disappointing. 😠👎
Man it honestly is really annoying I couldn't hear the song not trying to be mean I just couldn't hear anything but him talking the whole time
I really wanted to hear your opinions about the the lyrical content of the song, but I don't think you heard much of any of it.
Most pastors I know would say what you two as pastors are doing is dangerous. But I appreciate what y’all do. Most pastors I know have a very humble “holier then thou” if you will. Wouldn’t associate with this music. I wanna visit y’all a church
Flyleaf - circle
Please ❤️
Oh you HAVE to react to Overburdened by Disturbed, I want to hear your opinion on it, plus it's a great song!!😁🤙
Amazing song!! I would TOTALLY second this! You know there are religious tones in that song for sure!!
Repent! I repent not living fully when I should have! I repent not making the enemies who sought me harm suffer, showing compassion instead. I repent allowing them to glorify their evils because of my own passiveness. Had I struck them down, I would have brought them closer to the Truth!
Parts of God's Creation cannot comprehend anything but a strike of the whip!
...and here I am again, and now I will not allow my brethren to suffer, unless they have to decreed by the Lord and the Law. I am sorry for everything.
Sober by TOOL has some interesting matter to discuss
You do a great job with these! Did you grow up in Orlando? You mentioned peaches, which was a music store that I used to go to in orlando growing up
Couldn't finish this video....you guys talked all the way through it.....wow....
Come on, please stop talking during the song. Ruined the whole video for me.
Thanks for talking through the song. I can now leave very early. F A I L
I'll admit that though I've watched the channel for a while, this is the first time that I've actually stayed for the analyses at the end and I actually feel a bit enlightened for having listened.
You should really listen to "God Am" by Alice in Chains. AIC is one of the best bands ever. Every single one of their songs is good.
Good work as usual pastor. You guys have a pretty decent understanding of the meaning of this song, but the one piece of information you're seem to be missing is that this song was written in the aftermath of 9/11. I feel like that would've changed your thought processes slightly to understand that the challenging of God was coming from a place of extreme pain.
let's listen to Mike talk over the whole song and make this video all about him....
Great video it would have been a great reaction too had you guys not talked over the entire song.
