Welcome back! So, we needed to get back to this band at some point, and I figured this might be a good place to pick up from.

Welcome back! Today is a Lexi must see. Watch as I squirm hearing "Let it Go" for the billionth time and Lexi pokes fun at me for my torture! Please pray for my eternal soul! Even a voice as beautiful as Floor's cannot save this one for me... overplayed to the MAX!!! Caveat of this video: Somehow the video started running away from the audio. Not sure what happened there, but I'll have it fixed...

Welcome back! Today I have Lex react to Tool's "Sober"! A good friend of mine suggested starting at the beginning and slowly integrating her into what tool is, and I think I have to agree. So starting where we both started in the mid-90s is how we'll kick this off! Hope you enjoy! Please check the link below and give Tool all the love for this one! Such an amazing song deserves to be watched in...
Nightwish - Song of Myself - Father and Daughter's First Reactions!
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 года назад
You guys asked for it, so we gave it to you! We decided to hit Nightwish again, since that seems to be what people wanted us to get into again. Song of Myself seemed to be the overwhelming favorite for us to react to, so we chose that one and then Romanticide will be next. Lex seemed to love this one, but I was totally expecting a little bit more. It's not at all a bad song in any regards, it j...

Today we got a special one to my heart (see what I did there?). This is an idea I wanted to start doing and when I came across the After Forever cover of this song, I instantly knew it was time to start Original VS Cover. A little bit of information for you - Lexi is having skin issues and when she breaks out in hives she has to take Claritin to fight them off. It makes her extremely sleepy som...

amy is the angel of angels
If this didnt make you cry there's an acoustic version of this song
My father said to me one day when i was around 10 years old: < come and see something funny!> He then showed me this musicvideo, and i had nightmares for weeks to come. Then i saw it aroung my 40`s, and now i get all the references and sillyness! Personally i thing that this musicvideo is more relevant than ever before with all those stupid pronounces and more genders than two - crap! The even more funny thing is that it will become more and more relevant as time goes by...
Yeah, just substitute Reagan for Sleepy Joe and we have today. More over, the video depicts a "sleeping" President. The irony. Or perhaps a Prophecy? 🤫 😙
The poor child experiencing the puppets. For the first time.
Floor's daughter Freya loved the song also...
Disturbed for the win

SORRY BUT THE SHITTY COVER IS SHIT AND ALWAYS WILL BE AWFULL TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER AND YOUR WIFE REAL GOOD NICE GENUINE MUSIC GENESIS FOREVER
You were dieing inside lol
Glad to see you sharing the joy of music with your daughter. I am with you and like the disturbed version better. The genesis song is great mind you, but the disturbed takes it to the next level
I lost my own grandma to dementia/alzheimers,after first losing my grandpa to the aftermaths after a "minor stroke",he fought his longest fight in the hospital for months,until he had to throw in the towel just over new years,so every new years knowing what he went through,has never been the same. Both of them passed either close to,or just after Christmas. Way before all that i lost my only parent to cancer,and buried them on little christmas eve,so yeah..... me and the holidays dont go so hand in hand anymore. If i had my own girlfriend or wife and kids,sure...i would put on a brave pokerface and do my outmost to give them the same days to look forward to as i had as a kid. But i have not been that fortunate. How much this video mentallly destroyed me,as i relived my younger cousins reaction to grandma suddenly one day didnt recognize them,pheeew,one of the toughest experiences of my life. I dont wish upon anyone to go through this,because it affects every single one. No matter how great the communication between the family and friends are,you can never prepare for what is coming,its all so unpredictable,your mind cant process it properly. Even how much you try to keep a calm head and telling yourself why,it just destroys you. Especially like in my case,on my cousins behalf as i have always been like the biggest brother in the family for them,always protecting them while outside playing etc. I guess im a huge empath there. With all that said,this video still did me the world of good to watch,no matter how unpleasant the brutal scenes was. It was like great theraphy to watch it,and it has went on to be one of my favourite music videos ever made. Im seriously late to this reaction done 2 years ago,but its charming to see a dad and daughter do this together,her comforting rubs on your shoulder,as she noticed you were down. Absolutely heartwarming and wonderful! Brought a slight tear to my eye,as it awoked my childhood wish of having my own daughter,not for my own egoistic sake only,but for me remembering how my own mom would tell me how she lost my big sister too early to miscarriage. And the interesting part here is that my own favourite female name,and the name she was gonna name my big sister,was the exact same one,WITHOUT us knowing of eachothers thoughts. So anyway,im glad YTs homepage recommended you 2 for me! It was a time well spent with you 2! You are one amazing duo!
Disappointed that you didn’t put the original song in context with world events when the song was made. It changed the perspective of blaming Hollywood politicians up to the Man in Charge. American media is it’s own worst enemy and worst joke sometimes.
I was a teenager when the Genesis version came on, and I hated the video even worse than Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. The worst torture I can imagine would involve being force to watch it on repeat. It was so horrible that it made the song itself irrelevant. Now that Disturbed has done a decent cover, I see that it is actually a pretty good song.
The original version is comical compared to Disturbed. The passion in just not there in the voice. It doesn't convey the message....same as Sound of Silence.
The Genesis video made a lot more sense (at least to British people) at the time as the video was made by Spitting Image which was a satirical comedy show, the puppets featured are of world leaders of the time. Nowadays, it kinda takes away from the message. A fantastic idea for a music video fort this song would be to have newscasters of various networks (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, LBC... maybe even France 24, Deutsche Welle and Al Jazeera) read out the lyrics to camera in time to the tune. I'm just wondering what your teenage daughter would make of Stiff Little Fingers, especially Suspect Device.
Those incredible puppets were part of the UK's political satire TV programme at the time called 'Spitting Images'. So damned funny then ans still are today.
Political satire while poking fun at themselves, Genesis! Disturbed is heavy. Liking both is a great comment. Different and both very good.
ya just gotta love madonna with that singing belly button of her's.
Same strong political/war worries the 1st done in a complete parody revolving around a dream by President Reagan featuring the band Genesis ( early claymation? ) numerous celebrities throughout the video and political leaders ( at the time) 2nd ( remake) Same basically ( political and war worries) and animated background and a harder more consistent louder drums and the metal/hard singing ??????,
First time Ive watched one of your reactions. I payed very close attention to your daughter's reaction. I saw 2 different reactions.. The first one, to the Genesis version.. Was truly the look of confusion. The Disturbd version.. She look more sad than confused. Both were powerful videos in different ways. And both so well done in their own rights. Have you guys done any Leo Morachiolli reactions.. If not.. You should pull up his song list.. Have her scroll through, and pick a song. 😁
I LOVE Leo! Great guy, and I really dig his Africa and Sultans of Swing renditions! With Lex being 15, on her way to 16 and hanging out with friends more, it's getting increasingly harder to get her to hang out with me and start back up. Hopefully sometime we can. I still hold out hope, but it's been touch and go. I asked her after the vid if she really did dig those songs, and she absolutely did. She just didn't know what to make of the Genesis version. It weirded her out. But she dug the message to be sure! Thanks for watching! 😃
God i remember when my dad showed me the genesis version when i was younger... It legit gave me nightmares🤣 love her reaction, i was literally the same🤣
I had that reaction too when I was young. But I also laughed at it pretty hard. Back in MTVs golden age, when this video was played all the time, I'd try and watch it all the time.
This is a very cool contrast, then vs now. Still some of the same issues unfortunately. Nice to see the kids getting involved though 👍 My boys love Disturbed as well as a bunch of metal bands.
Thanks much! It really is cool when you can find a middle ground and like something together. Makes car rides awesome! 😀
My son who is 6 loves Slipknot and Korn. Took him to see Korn for his 6th birthday. Then 3 months after that took him to see Slipknot. We go again tomorrow to see slipknot. Its all he asks for to watch korn and slipknot videos.
I love this! Hook em when they're young, I always say!!! 😀
i hope you're family is getting back from the lost of youre dad, ,.. stay save and never forget his love for you all.
I appreciate the nice words. It's mostly me now. My dad was the one constant in my life. He was always there. Through good and bad. No matter what he had my back. It still really hurts almost 2 years later. I think about him all the time and I'm kind of a broken soul right now. I want to come back, but I really let myself go and I don't think I'd look very good on camera. Hopefully I can get that turned around soon!
So wholesome to see a parent and child do this. She must be learning a lot about life, too. You rock :)
Thank you so much! Just trying to open her mind! :)
Genesis by a mile.
I've been a huge genesis fan for decades! I love their version and the video is super funny and it's a parady of the fear for the atomic bomb back in the 80's. Sorry but the disturbed version is really bad! But that's just my opinion.
That's why I wanted to do something like this. So we can compare, contrast, pick favorites, whatever people want to do! We all have our thing, and our tastes. I can't fault you yours! :)
Obvious that theirs a complete disconnect with reality vs dreamland. Disconnect for the younger generation is real
I'm trying to fix that disconnect. It just takes time and we'll eventually get there.
sorry for your loss, I feel for you, I lost my mom at the end of 2020 from covid complications, she was a long hauler but she had underlying health issues as well
I'm sorry for yours too. My dad also had lung issues and sleep apnea. Two things you don't want to have with Covid. It's truly a horrific death I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Disturbed completely re images the song and gives it the message that the original doesn't have
Yes indeed. They definitely brought corrupt governments to the forefront in their version.
The same message vas there in the original. Just more hidden. The Lyrics couldn't be more clear. I think the video was to soften it a bit, so that they wouldn't be censored.
Well. I was 11 when I have heard this song. Not only I loved that girth, that oomph of Disturbed sound, but the meaning, the message was very clear to me. Maybe that was because I was interested in the song and payed attention. I don't thing the lack of words by the girl is due to age or gender, but because of passive listening, not active one.
I like your shirt
Thanks much! :)
@@mattlexireactions4313 AND I FRICKIN' WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@superwoody62 LOL! It was given to my by my girlfriend, who got it somewhere. She didn't want it, and I certainly did! :)
@@mattlexireactions4313 I DON'T CARE, I FRICKIN' WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A ridiculous video with a serious message is too British lol
Absolutely! I think k that pretty much sums it up perfectly! :)
Obviously, the director and Genesis had their hate going. Musically, I like the disturbed cover better than the original with the more coherent (but naïve and simplistic) story.
The cover is really good. But I'm a Disturbed fan so that kind of skews my view on it a bit. However, I also know I loved the Genesis version growing up as well. It's always hard for me to make a distinction one way or the other. Hearing what other people think, though, is why we do the comparison videos (well, when we start back up again).
You're one of the coolest dads ever!!
I appreciate it! I'm trying my best! 😀
@@mattlexireactions4313 doing a great job sir 🤘🤘
The daughter looks like she hates doing this
This was her idea completely. Some days her medication will leave her feeling tired, and it definitely affects her. I try and choose days when she's better off, but some days it's not as good as others.
If you still do reactions you should check out whitechapel - orphan a song very similar to Constance
We'll get back into it at some point. My dad's death has really hit us super hard. He was everything to my kid's lives and mine as well. He'd want us to continue (as he loved seeing us together bonding), but it still feels really bad being happy and jovial when someone we love is no longer with us. This is our first really close death. Just hang in there, and we'll get back to it, I promise! :)
@@mattlexireactions4313 I have no words… that’s extremely heartbreaking. I just recently experienced back to back funerals, short story my grandfather passed, not even a month away my grandmother passes. In the end just hug your loved ones everyday, you’ll never know when it’s your last or their last day with you. ❤️🌷
@@Reieva absolutely! And I'm sorry for your losses as well. My dad died of Covid back in March 2021. It was a pretty brutal death too. That's why it's so hard. We're definitely trying to pick up the pieces and move on with life, but it's been a rough situation. Dealing with his estate has prolonged the suffering, and since that's not settled yet, it keeps the wound fresh. We definitely want to come back, but I want to be in a better place mentally before we start back up again. My daughter (and eventually my son) too. Hang in there. It's on the list, and thank you for the understanding! :)
@@mattlexireactions4313 You are an awesome person, god bless you and your family. We all relate to the pain of losing a loved one but together we share such pain to help others who cannot handle it, most crumble. We are strong! We keep moving forward.
I was a teenager when this video came out at the height of 80s cold war tensions. Things were getting pretty scary out there. That video is actually pretty horrifying when you consider the subtext.
Yeah, I feel ya. I was 6 or 7 when it dropped and I always watched it because it was funny to me. I didn't know anything about the context until I grew up and Disturbed dropped their version.
Ann has it up on Floor. Love Floor's singing but Ann Wilson is one heck of a hard act to follow.
Yeah, she's someone I grew up with, so my bias tends to lean towards her too. Just really hard to make decisions when they're both great versions.
Slipknot eyeless
When we get back to it, believe me, we'll get there! Ever since we went to the Jinjer concert in November, she's really warmed up to the heavier side of things. She didn't originally particularly care for stuff that was super heavy, but really opened up to it after seeing it live! :)
Hey Matt and Lexi! It's great to see Lexi rocking out! Jinjer, Suicide silence and All Hail the Yeti put on a great show! Suicide Silence was purely brutal! LOL! Wishing you nothing but the best in 2022! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🎁
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! It was an awesome show for sure, and she loved every minute of it! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you guys too! :)
The girl will have nightmares at night....🤣
LOL! The funny thing is she watches so much scarier than this. I think this just caught her off guard.
The funny thing about the one that genesis did is that the message is very powerful but the video doesn't let it really come through. But then again I love versions of it
Yeah for such a heavy topic it comes of incredibly goofy. Still an awesome song! 😀
The funny thing about the one that genesis did is that the message is very powerful but the video doesn't let it really come through. But then again I love versions of it
Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, the video is so wacky and light hearted, but the lyrics are heavy and serious. I wonder what made them decide to go that route with such serious subject matter.
While I love both versions the video for Genesis is so very distracting. Might have been done so purposely hence the title of the song. The diffrence is the the Genesis version makes one think of the message while Disturbed's version gets the blood pumping.
Inclined to agree on that one! 😀
Man, this is so awesome! The excitement in her voice and on her face is priceless! Glad you got to share this moment with her!
Should have saw her when Judgement (and Punishment) was played. If I could have had my camera going at that moment. Priceless!
Well, the political message may have been lost to Lexi, but those puppets will burn in her mind for the rest of life- as they do with all of us old enough to remember. *looking behind myself to make sure there's not one there* She'll be ok... as long as she's careful...
LOL! Yeah, the fear was real when I saw this at age 7. It's quite a thing to witness and not be nightmare fuel when you're so young. But, she was 13 at the time, now 14 and has watched scarier horror movies and never bats an eye. I have no doubt she's forgotten! :)
...if you think this song is about 'big gub'mint', you really need to take some philosophy, economics, and political history courses.... just sayin'... This song is about greed. Period. Capitalistic Greed. That's it.
And the consequences of said greed. In all its horror.
Ok, the Genesis version needs a LOT of political context to the mid-80s to understand lol....
Priceless reaction 😂
