TH-1... Toehider 1. Now check out 'Whatever Makes You Feel Superior' Live, from one of Mike's many live gigs over Covid. There you will see his awesome vocal range, and he plays all the instruments again. Amazing guy!
Ya know, I never thought about the TH part and the fact that he's 1 guy! Thank you for the recommendations, my friend! I I'll be checking out all his stuff. Can't wait! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill He did loads of live gigs during Covid, from his house. There is a live playthrough of his album 'I Like It' on his channel. Worth watching for some of his other classics, and his awesome bass on 'Died Of Dancing', and disco style on 'Wellgiveit'. It also has 'Wuthering Heights' at the end, which is sung just like Kate Bush!
What a guy! Like you Bill, I'd only come across the guy via Ayreon, then knowing he was in Toehider. But I had no idea Toehider was just Mike. I'm going straight there and subscribing! Great reaction again Bill, keep it up.
That's the spirit! He deserves much more exposure. Yeah, I had no idea it was all him and at such a high level of musical proficiency! And besides, I have a feeling he's a real good guy too. Thank you so much, my friend! I'll be covering much more from Toehider! 🤘❤️🤘
You are always expanding my musical horizons. Fantastic artist and imagery. Also, Bill, you would be a wonderful audio book narrator. Or reading to children or the infirm. You are a man with many talents and we in the virtual world are glad that you share a few of them with us. ❤
That's so kind of you to say! When my wife was very sick I read to her The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. A series that came out in the 60's. I read the whole thing out loud with the character voices and all. I loved it, she loved it. I would be so down doing audio books! Right now though, I'm happy that YOU like it! I hoped you liked Toehider. I think he's truly phenomenal so I'll be posting more! Have a wonderful day, Pammie! ❤️
Nice one, Bill! I’ve seen this video a few times but it is no less amazing with repeat viewings. I guess we understand why Arjen commented that Mike is his “musical hero,” huh? ☮️❤️
Man, I jumped on this video as soon as I saw it because I, too, only knew Michael Mills through Ayreon and had been very impressed from that. Now, I am even more impressed. I had no idea he was as talented as he is. Why haven't more people heard of him?
My sentiment exactly!! He should have a million subs and millions of views. I will be doing more of his music, that's a fact! He seems like a real good guy too.
All the stuff you mentioned, and then there are the instruments that are in that area, that he never touched, but they HAD to be there for a reason, you know? WOW!!! Then there's his singing voice. Again...WOW!!! I can see why he calls himself "Toehider," since he's totally surrounded by all of his instruments. Very interesting! Also...thanks for reading the poetic words at the end...WELL DONE! Not everyone (hardly anyone, these days) would be able to read the words the way you did. LOVED IT!
My friend, for you to say that about his voice validates his signing abilities! I respect your ear! I was thinking about all those instruments as well. I can't wait to check out more!
This Dude is All Kinds of AWESOME !!!!! No wonder Arjen was impressed (I will catch up your Ayreon reactions soon, life is kinda busy at the moment...). NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut 🤘😎🤘
So when Arjen referred to Mike as a multi-instrumentalist that was a bloody understatement. Glad you did this one, I've been wanting to checkout this fellow Aussie for ages. P.s if memory serves, Parthanax is the main dragon in the game Skyrim.
I remember he said that, but I had no idea the level of proficiency! I don't play Skyrim but I did react to VoicePlay's cover of Dragonborn Comes so I have a little familiarity. Even got to speak in the language of the Dragonborn!
Skyrim shirt check Wizard lyrics check What in the PRS? I thought he was playing a schecter until I caught a view of the headstock. This sounds kind of like Helloween, which isn't a bad thing.
As someone who is barley familiar with the game, I never would have caught the shirt and well, wizards are in a lot of things: games, stories, movies, headshops. Strange how this ties into the VoicePlay cover of Dragonborn Comes I just did. See, there is such a thing as coincidences! Maybe this is the way the universe is telling me to play Skyrim. Helloween! Yes, I get that too!
Oh my gosh!! I am floored, too. Even his handle is 😎 I can always count on your introductions to uncover the greats who hide among us. Thank you so much! Also, a huge thank you for reading the fantastic lyrics. I super appreciate every time you take the time to do that for us. Thank you. Will head over & sub to him right away. ✅️
Thank you for everything including supporting this fella. I love reading the lyrics, too. I should do audio books! 😁 I think he is awesome! I will definitely do more of his stuff.
I was Mike's drummer for a couple of years when he was still a kid. Gave him his first guitar teaching job too. Mike does play drums lefhanded but the kit is set up right handed
guy i know from few years back and his dad is my friend just got Finnish Emma award from jazz, Emma is awarded to accomplished musicians every year for their work. guy is awesome drummer and i am sure that he will be in more than one album to become. got young jazz musician award few years ago and that is global award.
Michael mills played as TH-1 was so great i to found him so cool and underrated. Michael is a multi Instrumentalist very smart man with a very great range for a voice.
There is a funny interview that answers the question "What IS Toehider". It's not really a music video, but it has music in it. It's quite funny and insightful. Whether you want to watch it in your own time or react to it, here it is! It's short(
Toehider technically isn't just one dude yes Mike Mills plays all of the instruments and writes the songs but there is the other half of Toehider. Salty the artist in charge of all of the visuals of the band, in live stream concerts he is included with his paper and pen. Drawing whatever he feels like while Mike is singing and playing guitar, in one stream Salty recreated the artwork for the album or song that Mike is performing at that moment. He is considered a band member of Toehider, being included in band qna's which is just Mike and Salty but I will not stand for his erasure. He is just as important to Toehider, he is a strange and unusual band member but he is still a part of Toehider.
Thank you, my friend! Yes, I am aware of Salty and his role in the band. And I say, If Mike says he is part of the band, then he is part of the band. To me, it's just another aspect of the art of Toehider and adds to the mystique. I think it's awesome!
If you appreciate this kind of music and storytelling I recommend Mike's latest release. An almost 19-minute epic called Toad Hirer. Absolutely unbelievable that all of it is just one guy.
I can't wait to do another Toehider! I've had this song in my head since I've filmed this. My wife's favorite too! She's always playing this video which is fine by me! 🤘❤️🤘

Best video I've ever seen from him was "Making a song in 1 hour". Absolutely impressive.
That's the spirit! He deserves much more exposure. Yeah, I had no idea it was all him and at such a high level of musical proficiency! And besides, I have a feeling he's a real good guy too. Thank you so much, my friend! I'll be covering much more from Toehider! 🤘❤️🤘
I can't wait to check that video out! Thank you @David_randomnumber!

You, too. Bill. I subbed at Toehider as well. Strange name though.
Nice one, Bill! I’ve seen this video a few times but it is no less amazing with repeat viewings. I guess we understand why Arjen commented that Mike is his “musical hero,” huh? ☮️❤️
Thank you! I have to say as of now, Mike is my musical hero too! Arjen can certainly find quality talent! 🤘❤️🤘

Skyrim shirt check
Wizard lyrics check

Helloween! Yes, I get that too!
@BemusingBill I played it quite a while back, if you're into gaming at all, it is a lot of fun
Lol, the quote is from the only "friendly" dragon in Skyrim! 😂
Also Toehider si CRIMINALLY Under-known! not underrated, cause we know how awesome they are, but they should be faaaar more known!
I couldn't agree more! I'll be doing more from Toehider you can bet on it! Lets get Toehider out there to more people!
Toehider is one guy that makes music, and another guy Andrew Saltmarsh who does all their visuals. The'yre just two dudes from 'straya
That's unbelievable! I love this dude. Huge inspiration! 🤘❤️🤘
Oh my gosh!! I am floored, too. Even his handle is 😎
I can always count on your introductions to uncover the greats who hide among us.
Thank you so much! Also, a huge thank you for reading the fantastic lyrics. I super appreciate every time you take the time to do that for us. Thank you.
Will head over & sub to him right away. ✅️
Thank you for everything including supporting this fella. I love reading the lyrics, too. I should do audio books! 😁
I think he is awesome! I will definitely do more of his stuff.
Awesome! Well, Arjen did say he was a multi-instrumentalist, and he wasn't kidding...
No, he wasn't. I wonder if everyone else in the project knew about him and were like, "Shit, Mike's here. Better go warm up a little bit more" 😁
i love Mike Mills he is such a beautiful soul. he does live now and then.
Wow. Nice reaction. I had not checked him out yet either. Thanks for showcasinging this amazing guy.
Thank you! He's incredible! Yes, there will be much more from Toehider. 🤘❤️🤘
Toehider! Love this song
I was Mike's drummer for a couple of years when he was still a kid. Gave him his first guitar teaching job too.
Mike does play drums lefhanded but the kit is set up right handed
That's awesome, mate! I'm trying to wrap my head around " plays drums left handed but sets up right handed" WTAF? crazy!
❤
guy i know from few years back and his dad is my friend just got Finnish Emma award from jazz, Emma is awarded to accomplished musicians every year for their work. guy is awesome drummer and i am sure that he will be in more than one album to become. got young jazz musician award few years ago and that is global award.
Toehider is criminally unknown and I'm so glad you not only reacted to this but got him, too!
There will be more coming up. I am so inspired by this dude. Amazing talent!
Thank you Bill! That was great and very entertaining! Thank Michael when you speak to him!🤘🎸
I sure will! 😁❤️
#onlytoehider
Who is this guy? TH-1 of course...
Damn straight he is! 🤣
Michael mills played as TH-1 was so great i to found him so cool and underrated. Michael is a multi Instrumentalist very smart man with a very great range for a voice.
He is truly unbelievable. Such a talent!!
That was an entirely appropriate reaction to this insanity

Thank you for the link, my friend! I want to know all things Toehider!
Bro you reacted to Toehider and Testament played at your house. I think i'm obligated to leave a like and a annoyong comment...More toehider dammit 😃
Yes! More Toehider! after all this time, that song is always on my mind (wifey too!) Thanks for the like, friend! 🤘❤️🤘
