I think people should take into account that Kel is a really sensitive and precious being with a very empathetic and emotional connection to music. She must be protected at all costs. I think it really hit me when we were at the Delain/Amorphis/Anneke show together and Amorphis was playing their set, all I could do to comfort her, covering her ears as well.(taking into account that she'd been missing Rich horribly and quite emotional considering the situation with Rich going to Jared's tribute, without going much into further detail), was to just hug her and let her go ahead and experience and release her emotions while I just simply sung to her and hugged her. That situation really sticks with me because I think back on some songs I asked you guys to review and I still feel so bad about asking for some songs, even though I didn't realize the depth in which Kel responds to certain things prior. You mentioned we all have our fair share of "stuff" . Kel, you really understand this more now than before, for sure. Kel and Rich, I'd really love to have you guys react to a song that reminds me so much of my late parents ❤️ Once Upon A Troubadour by Nightwish. Gosh I Miss my parents so very much but that song really reminds me of my parents and how very much they loved one another ❤️
We are here with you Pony! We so appreciate you sharing all of this with us as we turn in to bed. Kel will have a lot more to say tomorrow when her eyes can stay open! So much love from both of us, Kel and Rich 🫵❤️
Kel… I’m 75. When I was 72, I rediscovered my love of hard rock through reaction channels. During the pandemic, I wanted to explore genres I had skipped over during my middle age. I found out I appreciate allot of grunge, metal, trip.’-hop. I too listened to it all, trying to stay open to all of it (except rap) so that I could learn. After three years I’ve come to the same conclusion: I don’t like constant growling, constant screaming, constant anger, even if many people do and think I would too if I only “ understood what they’re trying to achieve”. No. And I’m not going to try to convince myself any longer that I should. Kel, you and I had different starting points and different journeys but ended up with the same conclusion: we’ve explored the unknown, and now that we DO know, we’ve established our boundaries.
I write this not to try to persuade you to listen to something you don't like, but you mentioned not understanding what they were "trying to achieve". Now, this is not universal, and probably often not the intention, but paradoxically I often find the aggrressive growling and screaming and heaviness relaxing. That roaring wall of sound and passionate vocal expression feels cathartic to me and cleanses me. It's like it flows through me and takes all the negative emotions with it as it passes, leaving me feeling simultaneously relaxed and energised.
@@Thanaeon that’s really cool! Thanks for the comment. You are wired differently from me for sure! For me, the energy gets stuck inside me and makes me feel agitated, nervous snd anxious. Interestingly, I found I could listen to and enjoy some metal and really heavy rock much better when I watch a live performance. For some reason, when I watch the music being performed , the frenetic energy gets more dissipated and passes through me instead of getting stuck. For some metal and rock genres, such as speed metal, even this doesn’t work. Part is age. As you get older , it is easier to get agitated. But it’s also personal taste. Even in my teens, I wasn’t fond of high BPM’s. For instance, Zeppelin is my favorite band, but I never liked Communication Breakdown. Regarding what they’re trying to achieve: even after I knew what what was being portrayed, I still could not enjoy it. The music might have gained my respect, but not my liking of it. Pantera might be loved by many but it’s not my bag. I DO like Tool…..ALLOT……but can only listen to 2-3 songs in a row as it’s pretty intense. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! I enjoyed it!
I think that for me, I always appreciate it when people who don't actually "get" the music I like, do at least try to understand it, and are willing to ask what I hear in it. For my part, I think the more extreme kinds of hard rock and heavy metal work best as exercises in contrast: I couldn't listen to songs that stay either light and pretty or dark and gritty all the way through for very long, without something else in there for contrast. Even the darkest and grittiest death metal albums in my collection work best when they break up the speed, noise, and aggression with a little space and atmosphere, some moody acoustic guitars or synthesizers here and there, some melodic twists and turns, some "clean" vocals or whispers, and so on. I do find periods of depression tend for me to be shorter and more tolerable to ride down to the bottom, with anything afterward being a step up from there - I think that's the effect that helps the "doom" metal genre work for its fans, and it works that way for me, but doom and especially gothic doom also have a tendency to mix in classical elements, space and atmosphere, and so on for a lot of the sort of texture I like. Listening to Kel's reasoning for having some trouble with darker subject matter makes sense to me: I've had a relatively easy life in the general scheme of things, but even I think the darker subjects are better approached from a certain amount of distance, such as through (literary) fantasy - I'm a long-time fan of horror movies and so on, I think I prefer monster movies or haunted house stories (for example) over, say, serial killers and true crime for at least partly that reason of distance. The sorts of extreme metal that tend toward a literary distance from horror subjects - say, gothic, occult, or Lovecraftian horror - appeal to me a bit more than the ones that aim toward more realistic pain and suffering, like songs about the atrocities of real-life dictators and killers. I think that's where my taste in music was really forged: growing up with a family of horror fans who also listened to hard rock, the avant-garde soundtracks of horror movies seemed to me a natural fit against the hard rock and psychedelic rock my parents listened to, and I think all together the whole thing was a continuum of things that I enjoyed in a fairly happy childhood. A lot of the more extreme metal tends to scratch that itch. Anyway, I think I'm in a position as an extreme music fan with those tastes and that background where I can definitely understand where people who like something more extreme are coming from, and at the same time understand where people who try the more extreme stuff in good faith but simply find the experience to be a "bad trip" are also coming from.
@@pietrayday9915 That sounds a lot like me. Some details are a bit different, but yeah, I recognise myself a lot in that. I find myself hit harder by depictions of banal everyday suffering than I do more extreme stuff, likely at least partly because of the distance you talk about. I'm also a fan of contrasts in everything I consume; music, food, art, stories, whatever. Which is why pure death metal isn't to my taste, but there's a lot of melodeath that works great.
I’ve heard there are “hundreds” of metal sub-genres. That seems crazy to me…It would seem a dozen would do. But then you speak of “mellowdeath “ as a sub-genre. Now I understand. There’s a separate niche fir every nuance. I’m glad that classic rock didn’t go THAT far! 😉✌️
Pain and suffering is just as meaningful as love and pleasure. The beauty of music is the way we relate to certain songs and share similar experiences or mold the lyrics to our own experiences. It's meant to be emotional.
I couldn't have said it better myself. If it's not happy, I don't want to hear it. I've been through a lot in my life too, Kel. Music saved me. Happy music saved me. Good lyrics and great beats. Sending much luv and many blessings.
A great reaction to a very deep and personal acoustical performance. And Kel? That was well said. Both the video performance and your point were both made very eloquently. How cool... It's great to have both of you back and stronger than ever. Power on!! 🎶Mr. Ken
Thank you Ken! Your words are palpable with us as we turn in. We will drop another vid tomorrow. You make this adventure worth all of the time and work. We appreciate your kind words of love. Your pals, KnR 🫵❤️🔥🧨
Ok guys come on don’t hold back, I know you’ve listened to Senjutsu in it’s entirety. What do y’all think about it, favorite song on the album. Glad as hell to see y’all back. My Favorite is probably going to be Death of the Celts, Time Machine, Writing on the Wall, Hell on Earth.
Kel, I can appreciate your honesty . It's all individual taste. Some great/fantastic and some not that good and then there's crap. I absolutely can't listen to lyrics from Marilyn Manson.
Kelly. Your reasons for not wanting to be reminded are 100% valid and understandable. But for many of us, that's how we survived. By channeling our pain through the lyrics. BUT. That's the beauty of music. It's not for everyone, yet it IS for everyone. So, don't feel bad or apologize for how you feel. We understand, and we support your emotions
i enjoy looking at artists that change over time especially when they perform at their peak-steve marriott small faces to humble pie -toy soldier to black coffee to i walk on gilded splinters
The fact that I can remember clearly 2-3 years ago, when Kel was saying that she was longing for someone in her family to turn on some distortion and crank up the volume on the music that she was listening to now say that she'd rather listen to prog rock or metal.. Rich, you've done a great job! I can't wait for you two to get into a band like LoveBites, especially with them playing Swan Song, with Chopin's Revolution Etude intro. And seeing how positively influencing they are for women with the metal music they play, you both would absolutely love them. Can't wait to see more from you two again!
Way back, when the website was taking requests, I asked if they could react to Rising by Lovebites. I feel that that song, with its lyrical message, would be perfect right now. But the live Swan Song/Chopin performance would be a must-listen at some point, too.
I don’t hold onto my pain by choice. But if I’m constantly reminded of it, I’m going to use it for something productive. Maybe not “no pain, no gain” but “knock on the threshold of pain”.
Boundaries, I will allow this much space , if it's not positive to my mind spirit soul I regect that energy and keep it moving forward. God bless living through what was meant to break you. ❤️
Trauma is real, and I respect you drawing the line. I admit I don't watch the channel that much, but I love what you're doing... I appreciate the line.
I have listened to many songs with lamentation over lost love, but the angst felt by this performer was visceral. I agree with Kel, don't want to hear it again.
Great that you ate honest and we all have songs we like and don't like (as on triggers memories), your channel is great keep up the great work, much love to you both.
Hi Kel N' Rich ~ Kel, thank you for expressing yourself so precisely. You are free to do whatever you want to do, and that definitely includes not listening to certain music. One of the things I teach my counseling clients is what I call the Criteria. It involves three questions. Does it work for you, does it feel good and are you okay with the consequences? This applies to everything and absolutely does for you, in dealing with music. Some will not work for you, doesn't feel good and the consequences basically suck, as you described. It's wonderful that you are able (because some people are not for various reasons) to express that and have Rich filter out those songs that aren't going to work for you. Rich, I appreciate you telling us your experience of this song, and how you feel about it and your interpretation of what it means for you. The combination of you both is what makes this channel work and work damn well. It's always a joy to watch each reaction and to hear what Kel thinks of each song. I said it in one of the other return videos, but I'm gonna say it again. I am VERY happy to see you both back on youtube! ❤
I’m not sure if you guys watched the intro privately… He talks about the fact that it’s a very difficult song for him to sing, and he’s going to need some help, intimating that the audience should sing along to give him the strength he needs to get through the performance. If it brings you down, and that’s not what you want, it’s not for you. All aspects of music resonate with different people differently, and that’s 100% fine.
This is a must watch vid for anyone wishing for Kel to react to your favorite songs. Before you request any given song, listen to it with the "Kel filter". Don't leave it up to Rich to audit because he probably wants to hear it himself. Listen to what Kel says she just doesn't want to hear. We all love these guys. Show them the love by understanding.
Several subscribers have strongly suggested Lovebites Swan Song with Chopin’s Revolution Etude intro. Keli will love ,love it, I guarantee both of you. It is heartening to see Keli getting better. I think that I speak for many of your loyal supporters when I say that you have helped us survive the past few years. Having you back is a big step back towards normalcy for me.
Kel & Rich Just a quick word to say what a joy it is to see you both back on screen. I have thought of you both so much over the last two years and feared I might not see you again. I sent a couple of emails - yes two too many- but didn't want to be an online 'stalker'. Just thrilled to see two of the most genuinely lovely people back. Now, get on with more Deep Purple and Afghan Whigs or this love affair will end:-) Take care and glad Kel looking and feeling better. David
They reacted to Over My Head before their hiatus but that video is no longer on RUclips. They liked it. King's X had positive songs in their first few albums but they definitely got darker on later albums.
Glad to see you guys back at it. I only know a little sparingly of why you guys were gone, and not the point of the comment, just a simple awesome to have yas back reacting. Cheers to you both!
Great reaction you two! A beautiful, sad and powerful song in many ways and an absolutely incredible live performance. It's awesome to have you back reacting to music once more. Always a delight to see you Kel and Rich especially when enjoying some of my fave tunes like blood brothers and infinite dreams by Iron Maiden. Hope you two are doing great and have a wonderful day. P.s. i loved how Kel spoke up and explained her thoughts and feelings. Totally and extremely rational and understandable. Much like movies, video games, books and such, music can be a form of escapism. If someone has experienced pain or suffering or any number of life's difficulties then it makes perfect sense to want to hear some beautiful uplifting, hopeful and happy music for sure. I agree. While I do enjoy myself many aspects of metal, I can't get behind the screaming and growls and all the angry, ultra heavy. I can appreciate the musicianship but I would much prefer to listen to Iron Maiden or Nightwish or Metallica or numerous other bands that while may not be as heavy per say, still very much provide that wonderful musical outlet. Also I cant really stand Bieber either regardless of any talents he has. Unfortunately he's from my country 😕 and we can't just deport him to somewhere else haha.
Listening to you both, a statement you made Rich struck me. "Kel you can always find the gold". Miners suffer horribly to find and extract that gold. Kel sure is no grubby prospector! Some find solace and healing in dark and painful subjects, others are too close to that pain and it still hurts. Respect for your choice, even if you don't care for that growly voice! Peace & Love.
This makes perfect sense the way she explains it. Bless her heart. Don't blame her on the rap or screamo stuff. Disturbed and FFDP have some painful music as well. Let's find her some happy music, her pain is palpable.
I'd recommend Bloodywood, particularly the song "Aaj". I'm generally very big into minor chords, sad or at least pensive songs, but this particular piece of cheerful Indian folk metal gets me grinning like a fool. Their song "Jee Veerey" also turned out to be my anti-depression power song.
im with you kel, Mr blue sky all the way. just play music that makes you happy. Try and keep away from this depressing stuff. This music drains the soul where as ELO , SUPERTRAMP, AMERICA and even alot of MARILLION fills the soul with inner peace and joy.
You might like Leprous "Below" so many moods in that song, and the vocals are absolutely fantastic. I'm still not sure if the lyrics are strangely positive, but has an odd way how to deal with our past
Welcome back. I have been looking for y’all for a long time. You were my favorite reactors. Of course, The song you were listening to back then where my favorites. Have you listen to a lot of Beatles on here?
Enjoy Soen! I caught ‘em in Chicago - it was joyful and amazing. Looking forward to your reactions to songs from Imperial and Atlantis (too bad you probably won’t listen to their version of Snuff, but ❤ to Kel for standing firm). Great to have you back!
Kel, I totally agree with you. I don't like growling, screaming, Justin Beiber, rap, or Taylor Swift either. There is so much great music out there that you have yet to discover that you shouldn't need to bother with the ones with cookie monster vocals. I think you guys have the best music reaction channel because you sometimes go beyond the songs and delve into how it affects you. One of the things I like is that Kel is a total empath and that comes across in your videos and it, along with Rich's intellectual take, is what makes your reaction so special. I'm glad I requested Shadow Play by Rory Gallagher for my Patreon request. I was considering other songs but went with that one because it's a fun performance that I knew Kel would love. Thanks for playing it and I'm happy you liked it.
@The_Pony you are right. We must protect Kel at all costs. I think most people will understand what you are saying and understand that you don’t want to do certain things. There is so much stuff out there that will keep you busy for ever! Also - it’s your channel so you know… 😉 A massive thank you to you Kel for sharing some truly personal stuff. You guys can do what you want and I think the rest of us will be ok with it. It’s your opinion Kel, affected by your past maybe more than most. So why put yourself through it again? I wouldn’t want you to just because I like a certain band. In other news the Soen version of Snuff is amazing and better than the OG for me. I understand why you don’t wanna hear it again though so might wanna unmarathon that one but make sure you do at least one song - maybe new song ‘Trails’ from this latest release ‘Atlantis’. Very very much look forward to that - you know it 😜🤘💙🎼 And as for happy music - Jellyfish /The Lickerish Quartet and The Night Flight Orchestra (with my man Björn) you absolutely gotta do at some point. The only bands that can pull me kicking and screaming out of the shittiest or lowest mood and get me back in the game. ‘Night Flight’ being our current universal car music that me, the kids but especially Kinga love love love. So much joy listening to them. Wuvvee you guys 💙🤘
Here is a wonderful polyrhythmic song from Porcupine Tree that asks the question "What Happens Now?" It becomes so heavy and rebellious you'll be thrashing your air guitar! We love you Kel
If you still like to listen to occasional blues rock, PLEASE react to Alvin Lee’s The Bluest Blues. I’ve been requesting it since you restarted your channel because I think that Kel would adore the exquisite guitar solo in it by George Harrison. It’s a beautiful piece of music and just flows. Please!
Emotions are every part of music and what makes it the greatest thing to relate too!! Your not being true bcuz you love of songs that makes you feel good bcuz of feel!! Just say what makes you feel the best and other songs don't don't sit with you. It's all feel though!
Hello Jaim, Thanks for your comment but just to clarify things here, we don’t have customers here on our RUclips channel. We don’t sell anything and we don’t make any money because RUclips sends the money from the ads to the bands/artists. It’s all copyrighted music and clips used here. It’s not ours so we don’t get the cash. We do this for the love of the music, each other, for the fun of it, and for our fellow humans. It’s good to be skeptical in life, but those are our true motivations here dude, nothing else. Hope that helps. Kel 🦄🤸🏻♂️🔮👍🏼
@@kelligafter502 thanks for the response. I love music the way you do. With every fiber of my being. Hope you're on the mend. Tough to relax when you are out and about I would imagine.
@@jaimhaas5170 Aw, thanks buddy. Thank you so much for your kind words. My answer to going outdoors now is that I carry a handheld bottle of police grade mace and several other weapons. Now that my right arm is starting to move a bit better. I’m not so agoraphobic. The first 24 months were roughly though, but thankfully, that much is over with I’m good. Thanks again for being here with us. As always, keep rocking out! Kel 🏎️🔥💨🦄💕
@@kelligafter502 Sure. I always liked you two digging on music new to you Kel. When you get to rattling on for 30 to 60 minutes it becomes quite boring. Sorry!
@@christophermeyer understood. I totally get it. We try to keep the videos as short as possible but we find that we have a lot of questions that are coming up right now. It seems easier to just answer them in one fell swoop, but it makes the Videos longer. I will mention it to Rich. It’s usually what we try to do but right now we seem to be in a phase where we feel the need to explain things to people. A lot has gone down for everybody including us over the last 2 1/2 years and there’s lots of questions coming our way. Thanks so much for your honesty and your feedback. I will talk it over with Rich and we will tweak it. 🤘🏼👍🏼🤘🏼
Thanks for the shoutout guys🥰🖤🤘🏻🤪slipknot fanatic for sure. Yous definitely gotta check out some of their newest album the end so far. Gotta admit tho. Only liked about 3-4 songs that were downloadable on the album unfortunately. They kinda went a lil softer with this one. But they did have some good heavy ones🔥don't listen to this one much cuz it reminds me of past relationships and gets me upset. 1:11
I would highly recommend "Feuerschwanz - Warriors of the world" and "Saltatio Mortis - My mother told me". Both bands have some unexpected instruments, great music and great positive messaging.
Welcome back, folks! LOVED your reaction to "Luminol" by Steven Wilson. If you get around to reacting to "Significant Other" by him, or "Going for the One" by Yes, I'll be very grateful.
this was hard for Corey cause is best friend and bandmate had just died, he even breaks down for a moment this is why he steps back from the mike.....Also this is why this version is so special.
Maybe it was already mentioned, but did you hear the Snuff cover by Soen? I understand and appreciate the song it’s not Kel’s cup of tea at all. And still, the Soen version is so different and for some reason sound less angry and more melodical. Anyway, I have another suggestion I’m sure both of you will appreciate which is Breaking the spell from a band called Pendragon. There’s a beautiful liver version on YT. Looking forward to learning your reaction to this Progrock song. You’re a lovely couple. Best regards from the Netherlands
Bieber's songs are amazing... when done by other artists. I get it, I do. As soon as a Bieber song comes out and it's a world hit of a banger, first thing i go look for are covers/remixes/etc because there is just something about him singing it that I can't do. The exact same thing with mentioned Taylor Swift. Where differ is, I too and am Empath, and it is strong as hell. My feeling that makes it different is, I need to hear those other things because to me, I NEED to feel what they felt, I need to understand where they came from. In this case, I'm more like Rich. The past doesn't bother me, it makes me better to remind me where I have been and how far I've come. Hardly is there anything negative. I think you need a "Sampling with Kel" segment for those that may *tank* and have several different songs when you go to do said segment, knowing it may bust. Listening to bits of many songs, Sampling is appropriate. Also, there are bands who use screams and growls artistically, and they do it well. I'm not into basic scream and yelling, but there are artistic ones out there.
I fully understand where Kel is coming from. There's certain tracks I can't listen to because of how they hit me emotionally. Also Kel, I'm fully with you where Taylor Swift is concerned. If you like Stoner Rock, you should check out 'Time travelling blues' by Orange Goblin. A true hidden gem from over here in the UK.
The music wasn't hurtful the lyrics were, this song could have been written with a different message and would have been met with a different reaction. I get it. This is post traumatic stress , I have the same thing , I have always been afraid of crowds ever since.There are some situations I can no longer be in, I will leave if I see it. SO I can understand Kel's reaction. Time to Listen to some Derek Trucks.
I her what Kel is saying some songs bring out emotions that you cant handle. Those same songs I go too, to bring out that emotion to help me process and know I am not the only one that feels this way. Sarah McLaughlin - Angel and Trent Reznor - Something I Can Never Have are those songs. Then I follow it up with Metallica Fight Fire With Fire!! or FFDP - Wash It All Away!!!
If I could request one song, and I doubt you will see this or actually react to it, but Cocaine And Abel by Amigo The Devil. This one song hits me like a ton of bricks and hurts and inspires in a way a song rarely can. Hope you guys do but cheers
While musical tastes and influence evolve, someone shouldn't have to fight their way through a song or "endure" music. There's plenty of music I won't listen to, even though I consider myself very broad musically - and even from genre's I like there are times when I get put off for a variety of reasons. Thanks Kel and Rich - I do think you should edit what you play based on whatever the hell you want - doesn't matter what people request. I'll suggest instead of going deep into metal or whatever, do that, but also expand laterally into other horizons - there's plenty of cool stuff out there that isn't Taylor Swift or Bieber.
I still think Kel and Rich will love The Enid. Beautiful Symphonic Rock made without a Symphony just using Rock instrumentation. I recommend the live at the Hammersmith concert from the mid 80’s. Nobody sounds like The Enid.
Hey I am just glad you guys are back. I remember when I first saw you years ago how I felt "Finally some real reactors! Not fake over the top reactions but something real" and that's what THIS video is all about. Telling us like it is. Anyway, I do hope come back around to some J-rock and metal and do some Band Maid (who I just saw in San Fransisco a month ago. Awesome!). Maybe Blooming ruclips.net/video/uUt_JBMocKM/видео.html Also I am still hoping you will check out Nemophila. Maybe their cover of Aces High in their practice pad would give you a good sample of what they can do. ruclips.net/video/IoQAvpiIdNw/видео.html I look forward to it. Thank guys.
I will say when I saw your reaction to Cradle of Filth, I thought it might be too soon. I understand you have your limits and those of us who do love the more extreme side of metal shouldn't hold it against you. I'll admit you have to chew on some bands before you're able to swallow them. I will also say that with your limitations it will significantly impact a large portion of metal music. I do think the idea of you bowing out of you can't handle a song while Rich continues might be an idea to consider. Then he can explain the song and you can react to his reaction.
I'm looking forward to you two reacting to Babymetal who are back from a long hiatus with new music. They've released two songs so far(Divine Attack,Monochrome) in the last month with three more to be released before the new Album drops at the end of March
I would like to recommend these these songs for Kel: B52's, "Roam" R.E.M., "Shiny Happy People" Blind Melon, "No Rain" P.s...despite your thoughts on Taylor Swift, i think you may find her song "You Belong With Me"; tolerable.... it's an extremely catchy upbeat song, kind of in the same vain ase Carly Rae Jepsons' Call Me Maybe The links to the three songs are here: ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ ruclips.net/video/iNwC0sp-uA4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/YYOKMUTTDdA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/3qVPNONdF58/видео.html

I think people should take into account that Kel is a really sensitive and precious being with a very empathetic and emotional connection to music. She must be protected at all costs.
I think it really hit me when we were at the Delain/Amorphis/Anneke show together and Amorphis was playing their set, all I could do to comfort her, covering her ears as well.(taking into account that she'd been missing Rich horribly and quite emotional considering the situation with Rich going to Jared's tribute, without going much into further detail), was to just hug her and let her go ahead and experience and release her emotions while I just simply sung to her and hugged her.
That situation really sticks with me because I think back on some songs I asked you guys to review and I still feel so bad about asking for some songs, even though I didn't realize the depth in which Kel responds to certain things prior.
You mentioned we all have our fair share of "stuff" .
Kel, you really understand this more now than before, for sure.
Kel and Rich, I'd really love to have you guys react to a song that reminds me so much of my late parents ❤️ Once Upon A Troubadour by Nightwish. Gosh I Miss my parents so very much but that song really reminds me of my parents and how very much they loved one another ❤️
Btw Kel, the mermaid knife you gave me is forever on my bedside table
We are here with you Pony! We so appreciate you sharing all of this with us as we turn in to bed. Kel will have a lot more to say tomorrow when her eyes can stay open!
So much love from both of us,
Kel and Rich 🫵❤️
@@Kel.N.RichReactions much love to you both!! I hope you sleep well 💓 I'm always around if you guys wanna text or call or if you need anything 🥰.
Of course we will!!!
(Re: mermaid knife)
Yeah! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
Let’s talk soon.
Kel 🦄
Kel… I’m 75. When I was 72, I rediscovered my love of hard rock through reaction channels. During the pandemic, I wanted to explore genres I had skipped over during my middle age. I found out I appreciate allot of grunge, metal, trip.’-hop. I too listened to it all, trying to stay open to all of it (except rap) so that I could learn. After three years I’ve come to the same conclusion: I don’t like constant growling, constant screaming, constant anger, even if many people do and think I would too if I only “ understood what they’re trying to achieve”. No. And I’m not going to try to convince myself any longer that I should.
Kel, you and I had different starting points and different journeys but ended up with the same conclusion: we’ve explored the unknown, and now that we DO know, we’ve established our boundaries.
I write this not to try to persuade you to listen to something you don't like, but you mentioned not understanding what they were "trying to achieve". Now, this is not universal, and probably often not the intention, but paradoxically I often find the aggrressive growling and screaming and heaviness relaxing. That roaring wall of sound and passionate vocal expression feels cathartic to me and cleanses me. It's like it flows through me and takes all the negative emotions with it as it passes, leaving me feeling simultaneously relaxed and energised.
@@Thanaeon that’s really cool! Thanks for the comment. You are wired differently from me for sure! For me, the energy gets stuck inside me and makes me feel agitated, nervous snd anxious. Interestingly, I found I could listen to and enjoy some metal and really heavy rock much better when I watch a live performance. For some reason, when I watch the music being performed , the frenetic energy gets more dissipated and passes through me instead of getting stuck. For some metal and rock genres, such as speed metal, even this doesn’t work. Part is age. As you get older , it is easier to get agitated. But it’s also personal taste. Even in my teens, I wasn’t fond of high BPM’s. For instance, Zeppelin is my favorite band, but I never liked Communication Breakdown.
Regarding what they’re trying to achieve: even after I knew what what was being portrayed, I still could not enjoy it. The music might have gained my respect, but not my liking of it. Pantera might be loved by many but it’s not my bag. I DO like Tool…..ALLOT……but can only listen to 2-3 songs in a row as it’s pretty intense.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! I enjoyed it!
I think that for me, I always appreciate it when people who don't actually "get" the music I like, do at least try to understand it, and are willing to ask what I hear in it.
For my part, I think the more extreme kinds of hard rock and heavy metal work best as exercises in contrast: I couldn't listen to songs that stay either light and pretty or dark and gritty all the way through for very long, without something else in there for contrast. Even the darkest and grittiest death metal albums in my collection work best when they break up the speed, noise, and aggression with a little space and atmosphere, some moody acoustic guitars or synthesizers here and there, some melodic twists and turns, some "clean" vocals or whispers, and so on.
I do find periods of depression tend for me to be shorter and more tolerable to ride down to the bottom, with anything afterward being a step up from there - I think that's the effect that helps the "doom" metal genre work for its fans, and it works that way for me, but doom and especially gothic doom also have a tendency to mix in classical elements, space and atmosphere, and so on for a lot of the sort of texture I like.
Listening to Kel's reasoning for having some trouble with darker subject matter makes sense to me: I've had a relatively easy life in the general scheme of things, but even I think the darker subjects are better approached from a certain amount of distance, such as through (literary) fantasy - I'm a long-time fan of horror movies and so on, I think I prefer monster movies or haunted house stories (for example) over, say, serial killers and true crime for at least partly that reason of distance. The sorts of extreme metal that tend toward a literary distance from horror subjects - say, gothic, occult, or Lovecraftian horror - appeal to me a bit more than the ones that aim toward more realistic pain and suffering, like songs about the atrocities of real-life dictators and killers.
I think that's where my taste in music was really forged: growing up with a family of horror fans who also listened to hard rock, the avant-garde soundtracks of horror movies seemed to me a natural fit against the hard rock and psychedelic rock my parents listened to, and I think all together the whole thing was a continuum of things that I enjoyed in a fairly happy childhood. A lot of the more extreme metal tends to scratch that itch.
Anyway, I think I'm in a position as an extreme music fan with those tastes and that background where I can definitely understand where people who like something more extreme are coming from, and at the same time understand where people who try the more extreme stuff in good faith but simply find the experience to be a "bad trip" are also coming from.
@@pietrayday9915 That sounds a lot like me. Some details are a bit different, but yeah, I recognise myself a lot in that. I find myself hit harder by depictions of banal everyday suffering than I do more extreme stuff, likely at least partly because of the distance you talk about.
I'm also a fan of contrasts in everything I consume; music, food, art, stories, whatever. Which is why pure death metal isn't to my taste, but there's a lot of melodeath that works great.
I’ve heard there are “hundreds” of metal sub-genres. That seems crazy to me…It would seem a dozen would do. But then you speak of “mellowdeath “ as a sub-genre. Now I understand. There’s a separate niche fir every nuance. I’m glad that classic rock didn’t go THAT far! 😉✌️
Pain and suffering is just as meaningful as love and pleasure. The beauty of music is the way we relate to certain songs and share similar experiences or mold the lyrics to our own experiences. It's meant to be emotional.
I couldn't have said it better myself. If it's not happy, I don't want to hear it. I've been through a lot in my life too, Kel. Music saved me. Happy music saved me. Good lyrics and great beats. Sending much luv and many blessings.
A great reaction to a very deep and personal acoustical performance. And Kel? That was well said. Both the video performance and your point were both made very eloquently. How cool... It's great to have both of you back and stronger than ever. Power on!! 🎶Mr. Ken
Thank you Ken! Your words are palpable with us as we turn in. We will drop another vid tomorrow.
You make this adventure worth all of the time and work. We appreciate your kind words of love.
Your pals,
KnR 🫵❤️🔥🧨
Ok guys come on don’t hold back, I know you’ve listened to Senjutsu in it’s entirety. What do y’all think about it, favorite song on the album.
Glad as hell to see y’all back. My Favorite is probably going to be Death of the Celts, Time Machine, Writing on the Wall, Hell on Earth.
Kel, I can appreciate your honesty . It's all individual taste. Some great/fantastic and some not that good and then there's crap. I absolutely can't listen to lyrics from Marilyn Manson.
This song hits me so hard still after all those years, i relate to it so much.
Kelly. Your reasons for not wanting to be reminded are 100% valid and understandable. But for many of us, that's how we survived. By channeling our pain through the lyrics.
BUT. That's the beauty of music. It's not for everyone, yet it IS for everyone. So, don't feel bad or apologize for how you feel. We understand, and we support your emotions
Glad you're back 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
i enjoy looking at artists that change over time especially when they perform at their peak-steve marriott small faces to humble pie -toy soldier to black coffee to i walk on gilded splinters
The fact that I can remember clearly 2-3 years ago, when Kel was saying that she was longing for someone in her family to turn on some distortion and crank up the volume on the music that she was listening to now say that she'd rather listen to prog rock or metal.. Rich, you've done a great job!
I can't wait for you two to get into a band like LoveBites, especially with them playing Swan Song, with Chopin's Revolution Etude intro. And seeing how positively influencing they are for women with the metal music they play, you both would absolutely love them. Can't wait to see more from you two again!
Way back, when the website was taking requests, I asked if they could react to Rising by Lovebites. I feel that that song, with its lyrical message, would be perfect right now. But the live Swan Song/Chopin performance would be a must-listen at some point, too.
yeah i am waiting for them to do a lovebites song also. any song does not matter which one. they are all GREAT!!!!!
I second that recommendation- Keli will love that live performance.
I don’t hold onto my pain by choice. But if I’m constantly reminded of it, I’m going to use it for something productive.
Maybe not “no pain, no gain” but “knock on the threshold of pain”.
So refreshing to see you guys back :)!!!!
Boundaries, I will allow this much space , if it's not positive to my mind spirit soul I regect that energy and keep it moving forward. God bless living through what was meant to break you. ❤️
Trauma is real, and I respect you drawing the line.
I admit I don't watch the channel that much, but I love what you're doing...
I appreciate the line.
guys keep doing your thing , love the show
I have listened to many songs with lamentation over lost love, but the angst felt by this performer was visceral. I agree with Kel, don't want to hear it again.
Great that you ate honest and we all have songs we like and don't like (as on triggers memories), your channel is great keep up the great work, much love to you both.
Thank God Kel, that you are a huge Iron Maiden fan. They'll never let you down. Up the irons.
Saludos desde México City
Hope you guys are well! And you ROCK!
Hi Kel N' Rich ~ Kel, thank you for expressing yourself so precisely. You are free to do whatever you want to do, and that definitely includes not listening to certain music. One of the things I teach my counseling clients is what I call the Criteria. It involves three questions. Does it work for you, does it feel good and are you okay with the consequences? This applies to everything and absolutely does for you, in dealing with music. Some will not work for you, doesn't feel good and the consequences basically suck, as you described. It's wonderful that you are able (because some people are not for various reasons) to express that and have Rich filter out those songs that aren't going to work for you. Rich, I appreciate you telling us your experience of this song, and how you feel about it and your interpretation of what it means for you. The combination of you both is what makes this channel work and work damn well. It's always a joy to watch each reaction and to hear what Kel thinks of each song. I said it in one of the other return videos, but I'm gonna say it again. I am VERY happy to see you both back on youtube! ❤
I’m not sure if you guys watched the intro privately…
He talks about the fact that it’s a very difficult song for him to sing, and he’s going to need some help, intimating that the audience should sing along to give him the strength he needs to get through the performance.
If it brings you down, and that’s not what you want, it’s not for you. All aspects of music resonate with different people differently, and that’s 100% fine.
One of my favorite songs thats why it was my first tattoo right over my heart
This is a must watch vid for anyone wishing for Kel to react to your favorite songs. Before you request any given song, listen to it with the "Kel filter". Don't leave it up to Rich to audit because he probably wants to hear it himself. Listen to what Kel says she just doesn't want to hear. We all love these guys. Show them the love by understanding.
Several subscribers have strongly suggested Lovebites Swan Song with Chopin’s Revolution Etude intro. Keli will love ,love it, I guarantee both of you. It is heartening to see Keli getting better. I think that I speak for many of your loyal supporters when I say that you have helped us survive the past few years. Having you back is a big step back towards normalcy for me.
Kel & Rich
Just a quick word to say what a joy it is to see you both back on screen. I have thought of you both so much over the last two years and feared I might not see you again. I sent a couple of emails - yes two too many- but didn't want to be an online 'stalker'. Just thrilled to see two of the most genuinely lovely people back. Now, get on with more Deep Purple and Afghan Whigs or this love affair will end:-)
Take care and glad Kel looking and feeling better.
David
King’s X - Dogman!!!
Kalandra..with you
Well Said Kel! I’ve Found That Music is The Great Equalizer for Me! Memories never Fade!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Listen to Kings X . They do o some great happy tunes in a metal way.
They reacted to Over My Head before their hiatus but that video is no longer on RUclips. They liked it. King's X had positive songs in their first few albums but they definitely got darker on later albums.
Glad to see you guys back at it. I only know a little sparingly of why you guys were gone, and not the point of the comment, just a simple awesome to have yas back reacting. Cheers to you both!
Great reaction you two! A beautiful, sad and powerful song in many ways and an absolutely incredible live performance. It's awesome to have you back reacting to music once more. Always a delight to see you Kel and Rich especially when enjoying some of my fave tunes like blood brothers and infinite dreams by Iron Maiden. Hope you two are doing great and have a wonderful day.
P.s. i loved how Kel spoke up and explained her thoughts and feelings. Totally and extremely rational and understandable. Much like movies, video games, books and such, music can be a form of escapism. If someone has experienced pain or suffering or any number of life's difficulties then it makes perfect sense to want to hear some beautiful uplifting, hopeful and happy music for sure. I agree. While I do enjoy myself many aspects of metal, I can't get behind the screaming and growls and all the angry, ultra heavy. I can appreciate the musicianship but I would much prefer to listen to Iron Maiden or Nightwish or Metallica or numerous other bands that while may not be as heavy per say, still very much provide that wonderful musical outlet. Also I cant really stand Bieber either regardless of any talents he has. Unfortunately he's from my country 😕 and we can't just deport him to somewhere else haha.
Listening to you both, a statement you made Rich struck me. "Kel you can always find the gold". Miners suffer horribly to find and extract that gold. Kel sure is no grubby prospector! Some find solace and healing in dark and painful subjects, others are too close to that pain and it still hurts. Respect for your choice, even if you don't care for that growly voice! Peace & Love.
Triumph - Fight The Good Fight.
This makes perfect sense the way she explains it. Bless her heart. Don't blame her on the rap or screamo stuff. Disturbed and FFDP have some painful music as well. Let's find her some happy music, her pain is palpable.
helene u r so right-bluest blues is awesome-try rain by uriah heep
I'd recommend Bloodywood, particularly the song "Aaj". I'm generally very big into minor chords, sad or at least pensive songs, but this particular piece of cheerful Indian folk metal gets me grinning like a fool. Their song "Jee Veerey" also turned out to be my anti-depression power song.
So far away. Avenged Sevenfold.
Govt. Mule - Little Toy Brain
They’re such a great band, aren’t they…😁
im with you kel, Mr blue sky all the way. just play music that makes you happy. Try and keep away from this depressing stuff. This music drains the soul where as ELO , SUPERTRAMP, AMERICA and even alot of MARILLION fills the soul with inner peace and joy.
Merciful Fate - Into The Coven, might be over the line
You might like Leprous "Below" so many moods in that song, and the vocals are absolutely fantastic.
I'm still not sure if the lyrics are strangely positive, but has an odd way how to deal with our past
Please react to Paper Wings by Staind
Welcome back. I have been looking for y’all for a long time. You were my favorite reactors. Of course, The song you were listening to back then where my favorites. Have you listen to a lot of Beatles on here?
Love Kel.
saw root boy slim at hard times richmond va in 86-best show live-ton of fun-he finally was inducted into the hall of fame
seems fair to me
Enjoy Soen! I caught ‘em in Chicago - it was joyful and amazing. Looking forward to your reactions to songs from Imperial and Atlantis (too bad you probably won’t listen to their version of Snuff, but ❤ to Kel for standing firm). Great to have you back!
Love you guys.
Kel, I totally agree with you. I don't like growling, screaming, Justin Beiber, rap, or Taylor Swift either. There is so much great music out there that you have yet to discover that you shouldn't need to bother with the ones with cookie monster vocals.
I think you guys have the best music reaction channel because you sometimes go beyond the songs and delve into how it affects you. One of the things I like is that Kel is a total empath and that comes across in your videos and it, along with Rich's intellectual take, is what makes your reaction so special.
I'm glad I requested Shadow Play by Rory Gallagher for my Patreon request. I was considering other songs but went with that one because it's a fun performance that I knew Kel would love. Thanks for playing it and I'm happy you liked it.
Totally understand your thoughts Kel. Do what you feel is right for you. Forget about the rest, cheers from Oz!!!
I have not seen it yet but I agree beforehand 👍
@The_Pony you are right. We must protect Kel at all costs. I think most people will understand what you are saying and understand that you don’t want to do certain things.
There is so much stuff out there that will keep you busy for ever! Also - it’s your channel so you know… 😉
A massive thank you to you Kel for sharing some truly personal stuff.
You guys can do what you want and I think the rest of us will be ok with it.
It’s your opinion Kel, affected by your past maybe more than most. So why put yourself through it again? I wouldn’t want you to just because I like a certain band.
In other news the Soen version of Snuff is amazing and better than the OG for me. I understand why you don’t wanna hear it again though so might wanna unmarathon that one but make sure you do at least one song - maybe new song ‘Trails’ from this latest release ‘Atlantis’.
Very very much look forward to that - you know it 😜🤘💙🎼
And as for happy music - Jellyfish /The Lickerish Quartet and The Night Flight Orchestra (with my man Björn) you absolutely gotta do at some point. The only bands that can pull me kicking and screaming out of the shittiest or lowest mood and get me back in the game.
‘Night Flight’ being our current universal car music that me, the kids but especially Kinga love love love. So much joy listening to them.
Wuvvee you guys 💙🤘
Here is a wonderful polyrhythmic song from Porcupine Tree that asks the question "What Happens Now?" It becomes so heavy and rebellious you'll be thrashing your air guitar! We love you Kel
ruclips.net/video/cDlygoRRrbg/видео.html
Oh wow!! Kel you and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to Taylor Swift. And great to hear you still love Mr Blue Sky!!
If you still like to listen to occasional blues rock, PLEASE react to Alvin Lee’s The Bluest Blues. I’ve been requesting it since you restarted your channel because I think that Kel would adore the exquisite guitar solo in it by George Harrison. It’s a beautiful piece of music and just flows. Please!
I have this song on a Best of Alvin Lee collection. I concur. This song is exquisitely beautiful and haunting. Kel would love it.
@@williambevins 10 years after, I'd Love to Change the World. Great guitar through out.
Squishy, lol
Emotions are every part of music and what makes it the greatest thing to relate too!! Your not being true bcuz you love of songs that makes you feel good bcuz of feel!! Just say what makes you feel the best and other songs don't don't sit with you. It's all feel though!
My favorite reaction by Kel was, Queensryche, Silent Lucidity.
She was listening, but more feeling that song.
I got such a kick out of the way you edited this vid...u know what you're customer wants.
Hello Jaim,
Thanks for your comment but just to clarify things here, we don’t have customers here on our RUclips channel.
We don’t sell anything and we don’t make any money because RUclips sends the money from the ads to the bands/artists. It’s all copyrighted music and clips used here. It’s not ours so we don’t get the cash.
We do this for the love of the music, each other, for the fun of it, and for our fellow humans.
It’s good to be skeptical in life, but those are our true motivations here dude, nothing else.
Hope that helps.
Kel 🦄🤸🏻♂️🔮👍🏼
@@kelligafter502 thanks for the response. I love music the way you do. With every fiber of my being. Hope you're on the mend. Tough to relax when you are out and about I would imagine.
@@jaimhaas5170 Aw, thanks buddy. Thank you so much for your kind words. My answer to going outdoors now is that I carry a handheld bottle of police grade mace and several other weapons. Now that my right arm is starting to move a bit better. I’m not so agoraphobic. The first 24 months were roughly though, but thankfully, that much is over with I’m good.
Thanks again for being here with us. As always, keep rocking out!
Kel 🏎️🔥💨🦄💕
This channel used to be fun.
Hello Christopher,
Thanks for your comment. Can you explain your thoughts a bit further?
@@kelligafter502 Sure. I always liked you two digging on music new to you Kel. When you get to rattling on for 30 to 60 minutes it becomes quite boring. Sorry!
@@christophermeyer understood. I totally get it. We try to keep the videos as short as possible but we find that we have a lot of questions that are coming up right now. It seems easier to just answer them in one fell swoop, but it makes the Videos longer. I will mention it to Rich. It’s usually what we try to do but right now we seem to be in a phase where we feel the need to explain things to people. A lot has gone down for everybody including us over the last 2 1/2 years and there’s lots of questions coming our way.
Thanks so much for your honesty and your feedback. I will talk it over with Rich and we will tweak it. 🤘🏼👍🏼🤘🏼
@@kelligafter502 , Answered with class. I kind of expected that.
@@christophermeyer Thanks dude, respect all the way around. Thanks for being here with us.
Kel 🦄🎼🤘🏼⭐️🤸🏻♂️🎸
Thanks for the shoutout guys🥰🖤🤘🏻🤪slipknot fanatic for sure. Yous definitely gotta check out some of their newest album the end so far. Gotta admit tho. Only liked about 3-4 songs that were downloadable on the album unfortunately. They kinda went a lil softer with this one. But they did have some good heavy ones🔥don't listen to this one much cuz it reminds me of past relationships and gets me upset. 1:11
Rich, when did you get all the amazing pinball machines?? Sweet stuff.
Thank you! Built up gradually since 2021. Heaven on earth!!!!
Oof..was gonna say bloodywood but they touch on sensitive stuff with heavy vocals BUT also rising against it, still a cool couple
No worries Kel, I totally relate! Also can you react to Cannibal Corpse - She Was Asking for It?
I would highly recommend "Feuerschwanz - Warriors of the world" and "Saltatio Mortis - My mother told me". Both bands have some unexpected instruments, great music and great positive messaging.
I second these suggestions and add anything from Heilung as a suggestion.
If you guys ever get the chance listen to suicidal tendencies how can I laugh tomorrow
Have you done the grand illusion album yet by styx . Kelly would love that
Parts! But there will be more. For sure. Much love Ellis,
KnR 👏👏🫵❤️🔥
Welcome back, folks! LOVED your reaction to "Luminol" by Steven Wilson. If you get around to reacting to "Significant Other" by him, or "Going for the One" by Yes, I'll be very grateful.
I’ve always felt for me that music is an emotion modulator. Some turns of the dial I can’t do either.
Credit. She held it together better than I did. Lol Thats why its so good though. You have to feel it, to get over it.
Emerson Lake and Palmer live Montreux jazz festival 1997 medley part 2✌🏼❤️
this was hard for Corey cause is best friend and bandmate had just died, he even breaks down for a moment this is why he steps back from the mike.....Also this is why this version is so special.
What do you think of the song "Walk Like A Man" by Grand Funk?
It's like NPR reacting to metal. Good times.
Maybe it was already mentioned, but did you hear the Snuff cover by Soen? I understand and appreciate the song it’s not Kel’s cup of tea at all. And still, the Soen version is so different and for some reason sound less angry and more melodical. Anyway, I have another suggestion I’m sure both of you will appreciate which is Breaking the spell from a band called Pendragon. There’s a beautiful liver version on YT. Looking forward to learning your reaction to this Progrock song. You’re a lovely couple. Best regards from the Netherlands
Please listen to
“Radio radio” live on SNL,he changes to a different song live and nails it !
Bieber's songs are amazing... when done by other artists. I get it, I do. As soon as a Bieber song comes out and it's a world hit of a banger, first thing i go look for are covers/remixes/etc because there is just something about him singing it that I can't do. The exact same thing with mentioned Taylor Swift. Where differ is, I too and am Empath, and it is strong as hell. My feeling that makes it different is, I need to hear those other things because to me, I NEED to feel what they felt, I need to understand where they came from. In this case, I'm more like Rich. The past doesn't bother me, it makes me better to remind me where I have been and how far I've come. Hardly is there anything negative.
I think you need a "Sampling with Kel" segment for those that may *tank* and have several different songs when you go to do said segment, knowing it may bust. Listening to bits of many songs, Sampling is appropriate. Also, there are bands who use screams and growls artistically, and they do it well. I'm not into basic scream and yelling, but there are artistic ones out there.
I fully understand where Kel is coming from. There's certain tracks I can't listen to because of how they hit me emotionally. Also Kel, I'm fully with you where Taylor Swift is concerned.
If you like Stoner Rock, you should check out 'Time travelling blues' by Orange Goblin. A true hidden gem from over here in the UK.
Justin Bieber lmao
The music wasn't hurtful the lyrics were, this song could have been written with a different message and would have been met with a different reaction. I get it. This is post traumatic stress , I have the same thing , I have always been afraid of crowds ever since.There are some situations I can no longer be in, I will leave if I see it. SO I can understand Kel's reaction. Time to Listen to some Derek Trucks.
It's OK to have broken bits of our psyche. Some people find songs of pain/angst to be a release.
I love Real Reactions like this you guys might want to steer clear of Type O negative not sure if you have done any
And I just saw that you have
I her what Kel is saying some songs bring out emotions that you cant handle. Those same songs I go too, to bring out that emotion to help me process and know I am not the only one that feels this way. Sarah McLaughlin - Angel and Trent Reznor - Something I Can Never Have are those songs. Then I follow it up with Metallica Fight Fire With Fire!! or FFDP - Wash It All Away!!!
If I could request one song, and I doubt you will see this or actually react to it, but Cocaine And Abel by Amigo The Devil. This one song hits me like a ton of bricks and hurts and inspires in a way a song rarely can. Hope you guys do but cheers
Nice tune. Thank you for suggesting!!!! Very beautiful.
While musical tastes and influence evolve, someone shouldn't have to fight their way through a song or "endure" music. There's plenty of music I won't listen to, even though I consider myself very broad musically - and even from genre's I like there are times when I get put off for a variety of reasons. Thanks Kel and Rich - I do think you should edit what you play based on whatever the hell you want - doesn't matter what people request. I'll suggest instead of going deep into metal or whatever, do that, but also expand laterally into other horizons - there's plenty of cool stuff out there that isn't Taylor Swift or Bieber.
I still think Kel and Rich will love The Enid. Beautiful Symphonic Rock made without a Symphony just using Rock instrumentation. I recommend the live at the Hammersmith concert from the mid 80’s. Nobody sounds like The Enid.
To make it clear , Snuff was not written about the death of Paul Grey .He was still alive and played on Snuff .
Please try another song by Lacuna Coil --- "Wide Awake" is a very uplifting song
Hey I am just glad you guys are back. I remember when I first saw you years ago how I felt "Finally some real reactors! Not fake over the top reactions but something real" and that's what THIS video is all about. Telling us like it is. Anyway, I do hope come back around to some J-rock and metal and do some Band Maid (who I just saw in San Fransisco a month ago. Awesome!). Maybe Blooming ruclips.net/video/uUt_JBMocKM/видео.html Also I am still hoping you will check out Nemophila. Maybe their cover of Aces High in their practice pad would give you a good sample of what they can do. ruclips.net/video/IoQAvpiIdNw/видео.html I look forward to it. Thank guys.
I will say when I saw your reaction to Cradle of Filth, I thought it might be too soon. I understand you have your limits and those of us who do love the more extreme side of metal shouldn't hold it against you. I'll admit you have to chew on some bands before you're able to swallow them. I will also say that with your limitations it will significantly impact a large portion of metal music. I do think the idea of you bowing out of you can't handle a song while Rich continues might be an idea to consider. Then he can explain the song and you can react to his reaction.
Kel don't wanna hear it, but try it, and if anyone tied you down, give me their names 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I think you need some good old fashioned AC/DC Bonn Scott in your life. Down Payment Blues, maybe.
what a whinging depressing song maybe Taylor Swift should cover it or a duet even "Corey Taylor Swift"
I'm looking forward to you two reacting to Babymetal who are back from a long hiatus with new music. They've released two songs so far(Divine Attack,Monochrome) in the last month with three more to be released before the new Album drops at the end of March
Coming soon!!!! Promise.
KnR 🌊❤️
Folk music is a good way to start over. My request is Led Zeppelin 3. It’s got both hard rock and acoustics
I would like to recommend these these songs for Kel:
B52's, "Roam"
R.E.M., "Shiny Happy People"
Blind Melon, "No Rain"
P.s...despite your thoughts on Taylor Swift, i think you may find her song "You Belong With Me"; tolerable.... it's an extremely catchy upbeat song, kind of in the same vain ase Carly Rae Jepsons' Call Me Maybe
The links to the three songs are here: ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ ruclips.net/video/iNwC0sp-uA4/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/YYOKMUTTDdA/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/3qVPNONdF58/видео.html
P.S. noone. NOONE. Likes Justin Beiber. Anyone that says they do is a liar. 😅😅
Try classic rock: Jethro Tull 's Auqa lung or Door's: Riders of the storm
Completely agree with Kel. I don’t do EMO songs. It’s pretentious and negative.
Well what exactly are emo songs?
