@ 3:22 I once again am sweating in perspiring heavily (figuratively speaking) in anticipation for your reaction to this. Once again, I've KNOWN this music for years now and love seeing newer reactions to it.
So glad you guys did this song. I love the behind the scenes feel to the video. One of my favorites from him. In my opinion, I couldn't care less if Tom had a giant mansion and 100 Tesla's, his music will speak for itself. I think the only way he would be considered a "sellout" is if he signed with a label because a lot of his music is about his independence. If you need some recommendations, I Don't Care and I Hate Hip-Hop are 2 incredible songs by him. Great reaction as usual. Hope you guys are having a nice week!
I think I asked already on another video yesterday, but since this is fresh: totally check out 'I Wish', by Tom.. it's one of his more unique songs, way different than his other material, yall would like it.
I hate when ppl talk about bands or solo artists selling out. Because truth is if they were in the same situation they'd jump at the chance for more 💰. I'd love to know who wouldn't want more money for yourself and your family.
I remember Dee Snider of the band Twisted Sister talking about how their songs were about anger and rage based on how they grew up. Then they blew up. They had some hits, toured and made a bunch of money. They had signed a multi album deal. Dee said he got a call from the record company and the guy was like "Hey man you owe us two more albums. When are we gonna hear something?" And Dee says he was sitting in his pool at his Malibu mansion thinking..."I'm having a hard time finding a reason to be angry."
He has definately changed along the way. I love to see the growth personally...I enjoy watching the change. However, there are some die hard old fans that want him to write the old stuff... Tom has even recently pulled his old music off the internet. You fant even listen to his original stuff on Spotify anymore. He doesn't want that image and I get it. But it made a lot of people upset to lose the stuff they been listening too. It's ok for me...I like the new stuff better anyway.
I'm stuck on the System. I'm 72 years old and the Lyrical Miracles in this music always brings Truth to Power within myself. I laugh ! I Cry. I become angry. PRAY ! Become resolved to be and do Better! We all sit down to go poo poo!
Footage of them moving was them moving into the hose they're in now. He said old house was so close to the 2020 riots in LA that people were running through their yard. He and Nova were scared for their lives and that was the last straw for them, so they moved out of LA
Great discussion guys and I agree, we all have to change and grow. As a fan I’m so proud of Tom and Nova. I wish for them a happy life and much success. I wish that for everyone. ♥️
I think when an artist gets some success they naturally want to try to do other or different things. Many fans don’t like this because they want an artist to keep doing what they been doing. It makes people feel comfortable but really it shows how insecure they are. Everything has to grow and morph into something else because ultimately it’s the artist who needs to be happy with what they are creating. Great discussion guys. #HOG4LIFE
"sellout" is more about the content of the music and bowing to the industry, not being successful, "sellout" isn't about just changing, we all change all the time
I love this. It’s like Tom & Nova’s very personal home movies set to music. It shows Tom hasn’t got caught up in the fame, he still just Tom MacDonald. #hangovergang forever 🤘🏼🤘🏿🤘🏽🤘🏻
I like Tom McDonald because his success is His and Nova's, without any help from the corporate industry in fact they shunned him. There are many artists that when they go corporate they lose what made them special. Look what happened to T-Pain with his corporate debuggle. He's lucky that he is still a phenomenal artist and was able to survive it and learn the valuable lesson
We all grow as people and I'm excited to see Tom and Nova grow as artists. Always excited to see what he puts out next and how Nova's directing and editing skills increase. And waiting to hear Nova's next release because I want to hear her new music too whenever she releases. Both amazing artists that change for the better. Loved the reaction - great thoughts!! #HOG❤
ive never had a rapper bring me to tears and think as much as Tom....all of our taste in music has changed over the years so why not the music we listen to cant change...those people weak as hell
great conversation. I hear ya Tasha!! dead on. Love that you're checking out older Tom. There are still a handful of songs from that era that we are all hoping you'll get to. Try out "I Wish" and "I Hate Hip-Hop" soon, I hope.
I never felt like he sold out. If anything he struggles more with the fame and I think to this day he is still trying to figure out how the navigate it all while both staying true to himself as well as managing his mental health and keeping his sobriety. I think overall he is still trying to figure out how to balance all of these things.
They don’t want you to forget where they came from just because you have money don’t mean you need to forget the people that stood behind you when you were down like a lot of people do.
HOG for life ..like yall said all he did was make it...and did it for his loved ones ..he didn't sell out ..if he did why does he talk to fans and take care of his family...I'm happy for him
great vid guys the sellouts are bands or solo artists that sign up to major labels do stupid promos told by the labels what to do, pr stunts backing some energy drink ect
Was watching some other TM reactions, really enjoy your reactions, and this was a pleasant surprise as I didn't know you had recently dropped a reaction to one of his older videos. This is probably one of my favorite soft vibe songs of TM's. Demonstrates the range of TM with his music and I think Nova puts together a real great compilation of behind the scenes home videos for the video, top notch all the way.
So if we do anything and succeed we are a sellout but if we do nothing we are a bum? Enjoy your success Tom, anyone that knows anything about success knows: You earn it. That’s why we work. That’s why we love our parents, loved ones. But you know what is true : Success is a terrible thing especially when it happens to the other guy. Another truth : We are all either victims or beneficiaries of our own choices The 2 above 1 is truth & 1 is pride truthfully You all know which is which Sorry had to edit because I did not proof read (spelling mistakes)
The struggle makes on hungry and that hunger drives the creativity. The thing with Tom is, the struggle is with mental health, the depression and anxiety are the struggles that keep Tom in the creative hunger. It’s never been the fame that drove Tom. As someone who also struggles with depression, I can say, it is not something that one can buy their way out of. I am #hangovergang forever ✌🏽
I listened to Metallica since the first albums release until about 1988 or 89. Personally And Justice For All was the last album that I listened to. By selling out, I would have to say that every Metallica album has a specific style that is the trademark sound associated with the band, but after And Justice for All, the band did a 180. It wasn't about playing larger arenas or selling more albums, it was about compromising the raw, gritty, dirty, heaviness and acquired sound that they created to make something more radio friendly and acceptable to critics of the original style of Metallica. Not satisfied with the legion of fans, they sold out in order to be obsequious to their naysayers. Cause I remember champion their cause asking all the top rock radio stations to play Metallica in the 80's to which reply I continuously got was that Metallica was Too Heavy. So they were aware of that and fixed it. There were other tweaks made to the band but the sound was the biggest change
All you know about me is what I've sold ya I sold out long before you'd ever even heard my name I sold my soul to make a record And then you bought one - Tool
Great reaction and discussion T and Tasha, no Tom doesn't show off his wealth, they cycle around on bikes locally, Tom and Nova are thrifty, that is why he builds his own sets, he doesn't hire someone in to do what he can do, that is why I believe him when he says the designer is second hand or fake, he doesn't mix with the glitterati so he doesn't have to show off or keep up with the Jones. Love your content, keep up the good work. #HOG UK always here for it
The only thing I think I would consider selling out is if an artist did the opposite of what they stood for while gaining success. Tom for example, has stood against signing with a label. So if he chose to sign now, I'd be greatly disappointed. Continued success as an independent artist, I wish him 100% success...as far as he wants to take it! All that said, I still would not attack him or stop listening to his music even if he did sign to a label unless the label had him make music in which I didn't like. Each artist needs to do what they feel is best for them...it's their life and we only get ONE life to experience! 🔥HOG🔥
Tom didn't sell out he changed his life he is no longer the same person who did the early party stuff it's called growth and growing up continue on tom continue on we all have to leave people behind weather it's a friend or fan 🤗 h.o.g.
Man this song and video made me really feel I actually felt bad for him because his fans left him because they were hating him that’s he made it and their stuck where they are and they never made it
most of the more popular artists/bands in the world could be called sellouts. however, if they never "sold out", then would you even know who they are? would they be known enough to be considered as a "g.o.a.t."? some artists just want to perform on a high level to prove that they can do it. but I think even more artists want fame in some way. as soon as they get that "fame", fans start calling them sellouts.
#HOG Sometime if you can find it metallic did a interview and said basically did we sell out? Hell yeah all the way to the bank. You have to change to grow I'll never complain about people changing as long as they are growing 💗 hog4life. Love you guys 💓 Love this react 💗
Great reaction and discussion. Glad your checking out these older songs. Still want to see both of you react to some Nova songs one day and see what you think. She is a great artist also. Stay safe and love you guys ❤️
Ok yall not done any Dolly lately.? So I want yall to react to a song that has given me strength this past year . As I've lost my best friend of 37 yrs to a heart attack. . I've also had a realastionship break break up . Then I suffered a heart attack myself. And while in recovery I was diagnosed with Barretts cancer. Sometimes when things are bad. You have to tell yourself. Things aren't as it seems. So the Dolly Somg . Has just helped me. Please react to the grass is blue.
So far so good so ya I like this dude not much into rap but this is cool tell it like it is good reaction my friends 🔥🔥🔥☮️♥️💯 I yes used to call Metallica a sell out years ago but I growed up love Metallica but megadeth is my favorite band Metallica my second
We loved this! as a couple we would love to have you come by and react to one of our videos! You're both huge in the RUclips world but we're wondering if you'd be willing to come by and react to Free World or Revenge? I'm up and my husband is asleep. If he knew I was doing this he might make me delete this. Just taking a chance on you two, and trying my best. Love what you two are doing, and we'll be here to support you!
Unfortunately you cannot move forward trying to explain your motive or life. It sucks. It's a catch 22. You are now bleeding on everyone explaining yourself. I love Tom. I love his reality of life ups and downs but this one might hurt the main stream bs.

He will struggle to find the same place. That is a struggle for any artist. When life isn’t as hard… angst is art
Enjoyed this reaction!! Yall always do a great job 👏 🔥💜 Sellout is a great one by Tom
people get jealouse when a " friend does better. no matter what most have a hard telling anyone good job, enjoy where you are :)
Everyone changes and grows! Most hogfans are not fickle! Nothing but love and blood for Tom and Nova! Love your reactions also!

Would love to see you both react to I Wish by Tom Macdonald. Love your reactions, thanks

Welcome to HOG! Tom and Nova speak truth. Anyone talks hate isn't HOG. Open speak, I love my America 🇺🇸 ❤️
I beg to differ, life and knowledge comes from ALL experiences we endure. GROWTH, good word for it Tasha.
As always a great reaction, you too really get it. I have to get caught up with all your reactions but you two are one of my favorites
great conversation. I hear ya Tasha!! dead on.
Love that you're checking out older Tom. There are still a handful of songs from that era that we are all hoping you'll get to.
Try out "I Wish" and "I Hate Hip-Hop" soon, I hope.
We did I hate hip hop. It was our very first Tom video.
I never felt like he sold out. If anything he struggles more with the fame and I think to this day he is still trying to figure out how the navigate it all while both staying true to himself as well as managing his mental health and keeping his sobriety. I think overall he is still trying to figure out how to balance all of these things.
They don’t want you to forget where they came from just because you have money don’t mean you need to forget the people that stood behind you when you were down like a lot of people do.
A lesser known band out of Europe doing very similar videos.
Two worth checkin out.
Feud- Tajkun and Feud- Televizija
One of my favs.
Check out Tom's songs "Cancer", "Angels", "Straight White Male", "Buttholes".
HOG for life ..like yall said all he did was make it...and did it for his loved ones ..he didn't sell out ..if he did why does he talk to fans and take care of his family...I'm happy for him
great vid guys the sellouts are bands or solo artists that sign up to major labels do stupid promos told by the labels what to do, pr stunts backing some energy drink ect
In my opinion it's not about selling out it's about growing up. The Artist grows up the listener not so much. Love the reactions
The #HOG family would never abandon our man. Respect.

So if we do anything and succeed we are a sellout but if we do nothing we are a bum?
Enjoy your success Tom, anyone that knows anything about success knows:
You earn it.
That’s why we work.
That’s why we love our parents, loved ones.
But you know what is true :
Success is a terrible thing especially when it happens to the other guy.
Another truth :
We are all either victims or beneficiaries of our own choices
The 2 above
1 is truth & 1 is pride truthfully
You all know which is which
Sorry had to edit because I did not proof read (spelling mistakes)

Great counter to this song is " Fake Fans"
It’s a sweet song a Tom is a great guy. Tom and Nova both are genuinely good people. I want nothing but the best for them ✌️❤️💯

That makes no sense if they make early on.once the success comes, selling out is taking an easy radio playable song. Or so it was in my day.
Man this song and video made me really feel I actually felt bad for him because his fans left him because they were hating him that’s he made it and their stuck where they are and they never made it
😭one of our favo songs HANGOVERGANG4EVER ♥️
Spot on reaction! Love y’all 😁 HOG❤️
Tom too REAL
And selling out would indeed change his following for a number of reasons including but not limited to the obvious, he'd be filtered.
#50! Let's go 🤙
He's just so good
I think people that hate on others success are upset cause it shows them their own weakness to succeed themselves.
#hangovergang #tommacdonald #nova #Evanmorgen

#hog in the house..tom always gets a thumbs up..always love your reactions much love #hog..
Metallica was filthy rich already or at least Lars who didn't share.

There is definitely an authenticity that is born in desperation. But you can't expect the same story everyday even if nothing changes. H.O.G.4LIFE
Love the reaction! HOG 🤟

Yup. Metallica sold out. Every show, every night. Still do.
And yet they made the decision to move away from their core.
Cunna get a heeeeelleeyeeeaaaah!?
Lol 🙌🏼
HOG
The money was fake,2000lbs,he was gonna sign them and give them out with his albums but he couldn't distribute fake money all over the country,hahaha
I believe those bills are movie bills... they are marked that they are not money. in movie shots they put one real bill on top of the stack.
We loved this! as a couple we would love to have you come by and react to one of our videos!

Yeah Metallica sold out, sold out the Pittsburgh pirates stadium last weekend when I went.. Awesome time
Lol🤣🤣🤣
IMO I don't think Metallica sold out it's just Lars Ulrich is the biggest door knob in the metal scene.
Metallica did sell out in my opinion. They're bogus for what their greedy pockets did with their selfish thoughts.
