So many great songs by Metal Church, a severely underrated metal band.
One e of the best metal bands ever, no cliche no garbage lyrics, just straight forward 80s metal
You just picked one of the greatest METAL anthems ever. Listen to the whole album, Gods of Wraith is also a personal fav. Also just listen to "metal church" same name as album. Metal church would be a huge influence on the transition from speed metal to thrash. They are arguably my fav 80's metal band, even more then testament and metallica.
They gotta do the song metal church!!!
@@CoboProdz ton of bricks
How can there be Gods of wraith? A wraith?
@@acebrockton1828 LOL TYPO, WRATH.
@@acebrockton1828 wrath*
Some of the best times of my life were going to smaller metal concerts in the mid and late 80s. The mosh pits were more about feeling the music rather than trying to hurt somebody. There was a love and respect for each other(an unspoken headbangers bond). Anybody that would get out of line would be dealt with.
March of 1987, my best friend David and I picked up Metallica’s Master of Puppets (vinyl) at a K-Mart going out of business sale in Macon, Georgia. I think the list price was $9.98 and we picked it up for $1.99. At the same going out of business sale, we picked up Metal Church for the same price. Each purchase was a “WTH, let’s give it a try” impulse purchase. We headed back the dorm, loaded up Master of Puppets first and were blown away - shocked, nodding to the beat, unable to utter coherent sentences - we basically cussed, looked at each other, cussed some more, and made grunting noises that slipped from our stink-faces. 😊 We had the same reaction to Metal Church.
was such an awesome time to be a metal kid! :D
RIP David Wayne and Mike Howe. Both great MC vocalists.
I am watching this video while Craig Wells who started this band is sitting next to me. We work at a TV station together in Orlando. Great band \mXm/
Tell him I said thanks for the music that was my entire 80's theme. My teen age years was metal church and a very unsafe 1980 Toyota Celica power sliding through the mtns of TN. All I need is Metal church, a curvy road and I get a grin to this day when I drive. Metal Church > Metallica > Testament. But Metal Church was my metal temple.
Nice. 🤘Roger & Craig
Bro really 😳😳😳
Sweet
@@SargNickFury I will tell him. I love those east Tennessee roads like the Dragons tail
I can’t believe someone is reacting to Metal Church. I saw this tour back in the 80s. An underrated hard metal band. Keep going with the old thrash scene 🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏
So underrated. They put out some great stuff! Unfortunately not too many folks know.
I was 16 when this album was released. One of the greatest Metal albums ever, period.
The 80's had some underdog metal bands that once you got into then your hooked. Glad you guys did Metal Church, very few have reacted to them.... do more Metal Church Blessing in Disguise
This record brings me so much memories, my Jean jacket w/band patches everywhere...
The spike bracelets ... great times
Such an underrated band.
U should react next to METAL CHURCH song "Metal Church" you will get hooked up with that one.
I would give anything to find my old metal teen jean jacket coated with patched and metal hat pins.....it was a work of art. I should have kept it and framed it.
Sleeveless jean jacket with a leather jacket underneath. Patches all over the jean jacket and whiteout art on the leather sleeves. I wish I still had mine also.
we are old fucks arent we....
@@Aethyrs hahahaha yeah we are... but we enjoyed the best bands in their prime for sure....
You got guts Brad. I'll give you that.
Way to push through
Congrats! You just took your first journey into 80s underground Metal. This is also part of the scene I grew up in.
I remember listening to this album on a bus ride for a field trip in school! What a great memory! What a great album!
So excited to see you reacted to Seattle’s Metal Church, one of the best of the original thrash metal bands and criminality overlooked. Beyond the Blade is the opening track of one of the best debut albums ever. Check out the instrumental Relentless Assault.
I’m always puzzled when you dump on the “old” sound of classic recordings and insist that you want to listen only to “remaster”. It has nothing to do with the actual quality of the music, the creative innovation, or the performance. You have to keep in mind that these thrash metal was definitely an underground music scene and these bands had limited access to fundage, recoding studios and audio engineering talent. This album was recorded several years before revolutionized the sound of metal records when he produced Reign in Blood. It still sounds great to me.
I would like to see your reaction to records produced in the 1930’s, and even the 1920’s.
Iron Man is a good version they do with Sir Mix Alot
By instrumental I bet you were referring to Merciless Onslaught.
Metal Church had to potential to be huge in 1984 when they debuted... They were from Seattle and part of the metal scene of Metallica & Slayer. Their singer David Wayne was a powerful vocalist like Rob Halford of Judas Priest... guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof was a solid songwriter.
Unfortunately, Metal Church endured internal problems... by '88, David Wayne was fired... Mike Howe joined as the vocalist. Vanderhoof was replaced by Metallica's roadie John Marshall. When their 4th album 'The human factor' was released in '91, Nirvana became huge and the record was ignored... Metal Church broke up around '95 after a 5th album.
Vanderhoof brought Metal Church back around '99 for 1 album... but the band fell apart again. He tried again w/ new vocalist Ronnie Munroe and a new line-up in 2004 ... David Wayne passed away soon after 😪 R.I.P.
In 2014, singer Mike Howe reunited w/ Metal Church and they made a comeback in 2015... Tragically, Mike Howe took his own life in 2021 😪R.I.P.
ImI
I think, Metal Church - Metal Church, or Metal Church - Gods of Wrath, you will like more
Definitely Gods of Wrath.
This album was my jam in the 1980's. You both would probably like the title track. Lots of groove.
I agree with a lot of the posts, Badlands was one of my favorite songs by Metal Church
Oh shit y'all are digging into Metal Church, enjoy the ride \m/ edit: the voice will grow on ya, similar to Exodus and Megadeth in that way.
This drummer (Kirk Arrington) had the misfortune of drowning in a sea of great drummers. I don't think that he ever got the love or credit that he deserved. One of the greats imo.
He now lives in Olympia, Wa. The label screwed them/him for a while and he ended up literally homeless for a bit. but he is fine now and loves to reminisce. i am fortunate to call him a friend. met him when we were both homeless at a homeless shelter.
Dude had so much groove .....fantastic dtummer
One of my favorite metal drummers, love his grooves, dude is always in the pocket.
Kirk is on a level with Dany Carey.
@@villaincorp7728 then you may know that's not his real name
Metal Church > Church
You should've reacted to the song "Metal church" by metal church
100% agree , would be better as a introduction to the Band
This is the first time I heard Metal Church, I never listened to metal music, was not exposed to it. I would have loved to gone to a concert to see them. The music I grew up on was Beatles, Rolling Stones and before that Fats Domino, Stevie Wonder, Chubby Checkers were some of them.
Not possible now sadly the vocalist on this album died in 2005 and the most recent vocalist committed suicide 2 months ago. 😭😭
Welcome to the metal community.
Check out their live performance in Dynamo!
Badlands is a really good song by them
Metal Church super underrated band. Never expected this..
The singer for *Metal Church* (David Wayne). went on to form the band *Reverend* and *Wayne* as a solo project.
Metal Church has a song with Sir Mix-A-Lot called Iron Man. Also gotta love the song Human Factor, The Dark, and Watch The Children Pray.
You guys should check out songs from their second album The Dark, and the 3rd, 4th and 5th albums(Singer Mike Howe Era) Blessing in Disguise, The Human Factor, Hanging in the Balance respectively. Great band that is so underrated.
I'd like to see y'all react to Murmaider from Metalocalypse. That would be entertaining.
This song was released on their debut album Metal Church in 1984...38 years ago...most underrated metal band in my opinion.They truly deserved to be in The Big 4
This album and The Dark were great metal albums. Watch the children pray was my favorite from them
Such a good band I wish you could play the entire Album 🥰🥰 surprised you didnt play Metal Church by Metal Church on the Album Metal Church 😁
Y'all gotta listen to Ten Seconds to Love by Motley Crue
If you're gonna listen to Metal Church again you gotta hear Badlands, it's with another singer who passed away recently. It's one of their best songs
Loving this song! And the reaction!
It’s about time. Metal church is just one of those bands that was right in with Metallica Anthrax and Megadeth and Slayer. David Wayne can bust out the vocals With the best of them. The song “watch the children pray” is a good song also try out.
After David Wayne died, they redid this song in memory of his death. They did an amazing job. Thanks for this awesome reaction because metal church is in my top 10 favorite bands. It’s about time
Excellent band and song, although there are better songs on this album...Brad will hate it. Released in 1984. R.I.P. David Wayne and Mike Howe.
This album is so good it's just best experienced from start to end.....or better yet on a tape deck continuously looping.. :D I can't separate the songs....i love them all.
there's only 3 good songs and this is one of them'
Love how Lex gets into it...pure energy... love it ..get it girl 🤘🤘
I saw Metal Church open for Metallica in 1986 in NYC. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to
Try FAKE HEALER!!!💯🔥 actually "Watch The Children Pray"would be better until you get used to their sound, vocals would probably be more to your liking also!!!✌️
If you're gonna check out Metal Church again i suggest "In Mourning". My favourite track by them and you get to hear the second singer Mike Howe, who tragically died this summer, on vocals. A great track with great guitars (Lex) and very meaningful, thoughtful lyrics (Brad)
Metal Church - Anthem to the Estranged is very good introduction to this band , Brad will love it for lyrics and Lex for quitar solo :)
Grew up jamming out to Metal Church in the 80's. Awesome band! Brings back lot of good memories with good friends in the camaro cruising
Y'all should check out Anthrax. You can't listen to Metallica and Megadeath and not Anthrax. Preferably "Among the living". I have a feeling Lex would love it.
I'd add only and mad house to that.
In my opinion Badlands and Watch the Children Pray are Metal Church's best songs.
I love that every now and then you do some band that is not uaual! It has its risks.... but some turn out to be pretty good.
NO WAY!!!!! YOU DID METAL CHURCH!!!!
This was a low budget debut record from 1984... that's why it's a bit raw. The 2nd album 'The Dark' had better production. An MTV single by Metal Church from '86 was 'Watch the children pray' 🤘'Start the fire' ... 'Ton of bricks'.... r also heavy numbers.
The band did better w/ vocalist Mike Howe replacing David Wayne... 'Badlands'... 'Fake healer' ... 'Date with poverty' r some great tracks🔥🤘
All great suggestions. I would also suggest Method to your Madness; it is probably my favorite track with David Wayne on vocals.
I first got into them from seeing Badlands on MTV, and prefer Howe's vocals. I got to see them live on that tour, and it was a total Jam. Another great track off his first album with them is Anthem to the Estranged. Epic-ness on all levels.
The song "metal church" is what bridged my taste from hard rock to thrash metal.
Their 1st n 2nd albums are absolutely masterpieces! You guys should do more of them from their 1st n 2nd albums.. 🤘
This song should go right into the next song Metal Church. This whole album is on a different level, monster musicians. Thanks for checking them out, but if left to go into the next song, it's truly something else, and there's still some much more.
Metal Church is cool. This is off their first album with their first singer, David Wayne. They have great songs with their 2nd singer, Mike Howe, such as Fake Healer, In Mourning, In Harm's Way, Waiting For A Savior, Losers In The Game, The Final Word, The Human Condition & Badlands.
Good earlier songs are Watch The Children Pray, Gods Of Wrath, Metal Church (the song) & Ton Of Bricks.
How great of you to react to this underground masterpiece that is the album Metal Church.......as far as the intro goes keep in mind this album came out in 1984.....at that time most people were foreseeing the end of the world by 1999.....i had the pleasure of seeing them live in 1987 they were opening for Metallica 's Master of Puppets tour............great memories...Thanks for the reaction.
Metal Church is one of the most underrated bands ever. I loved most of their work till Blessings in Disguise. Great songwriting and musicianship.you guys should do Anthem to the Estranged, Badlands, Watch the Children Pray etc. Not many have reacted to these masterpieces.
Since Lex loves guitar solos so much, I think it's time for Yngwie Malmsteen ;)
React to his song "Blue". You won't be sorry!
You need to check out their theme song "Metal Church". It's fantastic.
You have to remember that the originators always come first. The modern bands you think are clever or talented are simply re-hashing the work of the masters. Metal Church is legit.
Bars... "You can't judge a Band off one listen".
"Don't let them judge your engine by your paint job" 🤘🤘 Tom MacDonald
Lex likes scary music....King Diamond has made many scary story concept albums ...he tells a story as only the King can...changing his voice for different people in the song....LONG live the KING
Perfect for October & Halloween!
I worked with the guy that used to be the bass player for this band. Duke!!
I think both of you would like "In Harm's Way". It is still a metal song but it is not as hard as "Beyond The Black" and I think you would really like the lyrics.
It's the only song from Metal Church that I ever saw on MTV's Headbangers Ball back in the early 90's.
This is one of my fav metal albums ever. I love Metal Church's first album. My fav is the song Metal Church just after Beyond the Black, but I get why most will pick "Gods of Wrath" which I also love.
*Metal Church - "Watch The Children Pray"*
This version of METAL CHURCH is my favorite,,,,, David Wayne was remarkable......the first 2 albums are sooooo heavy thrash......but the Steve Howe version of this band was totally Rad as well !!!!....I suggest the song ''WATCH THE CHILDREN PRAY''.....biggest hit with this singer !!
METAL CHURCH forever! Definitely in the Top 10 of the best heavy thrash metal bands ever!!
This is David Wayne on vocals. RIP. So many damn songs that to blow your mind. After David, along came Mike Howe who just blew the roof off. Sadly, he recently passed. RIP Mike. Favorite song "Badlands". Others to check "Gods of Wrath", "Loser in the Game", "Fake Healer", "Ton of Bricks".
Most underrated band of all time
This was amazing in high school junior high as a teenager. Rebellious time finding yourself living music not everyone could connect with never on the radio or was the underground metal scene
Iv gone back to the 80s metal of late just love that sound of it.
I have another great Metal band for you two to check out, the band is called "Trouble" 2 songs "Psalm 9" and "End of my Daze"
React to Sepultura-Dead Embryonic Cells or Desperate Cry!!
My friend is Kirk Arrington, the former drummer of Metal Church. you should listen to "Watch the Children Pray"! Lars Ulrich from Metallica used to watch Kirk play from backstage because he thought Kirk was the best drummer ever.
For another great Seattle metal/thrash band, you guys should check out Sanctuary. Their debut album Refuge Denied was produced by Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, who played leads on their cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit". Great band, I think you'd both love it. \m/
Finally saw them live in 2016 on tour with Megadeth, Amon Amarth, Suicidal Tendencies, and Butcher Babies. So glad I got to see them. The Metal Church album is fantastic.
Metal Church IS awesome. Still bringing it.
Saw them opening for Metallica on the first tour after Cliff Burton's death. The classic Line Up. Title track from the Metal Church album are a great number. So are Fake Healer with later vocalist Mike Howe or Watch the Children Prey from the second album
The song "Metal Church" by Metal Church should be done next.
I enjoyed her reactions and his insight! Yiu two make a great team❤
Metal Church came from the same town as Nirvana, Aberdeen. Even on the same street in some ways.
Check out some Anvil. They are the most underrated thrash band ever. May even be the ones responsible for the whole genre! Song suggestions would be "Metal On Metal", "Juggernaut Of Justice", and "March Of The Crabs".
I've recommended Portishead in some of your other videos, check out the Smiths too - there is a light is a good place to start ✌️
The song, "Metal Church".....by Metal Church and "Gods Of Wrath", are killer tracks by this band.
You need to listen to more of their music. Once you are in you can't leave😂.
Great memories hanging out with the band and David leaving with two girls walking down the street in uptown.
When Metal Church came out they blew doors on the metal scene in San Antonio. The whole album was great and that’s rare. You can pretty much pick any song in this album and it’s impressive, even their remake of Highway Star. Brad and Lex listen to Gods of wrath and Hitman on your show. I think you’ll like both.
I recommend ANY song from either album, "Hanging in the balance" or, "The Human Factor." To hit the ground, running... I recommend the song, "conductor." One other notable, outstanding song is from their first album, "God's or wrath." I 100% agree with other saying they are the most underrated metal band, ever.
Metal Church's ......Metal Church is THE song to hear. The drum beat
The vocalist on this album David Wayne died in 2005 and the most recent vocalist Mike Howe committed suicide not even 2 months ago. 😭😭
I used to play this over and over in my car.
Best Debut Album of all times
Definitely check out Gods of Wrath from the same album, as well as Wings of Tomorrow and Hero's Soul (relatively newer production)
Hell yeah, Metal Church! They are quite revered in the metal community. Once you dig deeper into Thrash you'll notice that while they don't have the notoriety of the Big 4 they are widely known and respected (much like Overkill, Exodus, Testament, etc.). This was an awesome reaction from you two, as always, but the original video's audio quality was very poor....didn't do the song justice. The cymbals and highs were filled with digital artifact noise in particular (certainly didn't do Brad any favors during the high pitched guitar solos LOL). A higher quality source would make you like it even more. Keep up the great work guys! \m/
Killer song from a very underrated band. Lex gets it. You go girl🤟👍😁
Metal Church " Metal Church " is the shit!
"Watch the Children Pray" from the same album imho really showcases the quality of the vocalist.
You should listen to Metal Church with Mike Howe as well the song Needle and Suture. That track is triple wicked.
I am a big fan of their song Badlands. RIP Mike Howe
Gotta react to the song "metal church" by metal church
Metal Church debuted in 1985. At the time us Metal fans considered Metal Church to be Thrash Metal, however after further refinement of the genres, I think they would and should be classified as just Speed Metal, or even Traditional Metal. That said, they're actually a great band. Their most popular years were of course the 80s and early 90s, but when the music industry changed, they kinda broke up, but reformed again in the 2000s with a different singer. He was alright, but just wasn't quite right for the band. In 2015 their fan favorite 2nd singer rejoined the band and they put out 3 new albums with him. With the last one release xcx earlier this year. Unfortunately he committed suicide earlier this summer around the time Eddie Van Halen died. It was a shock to all of us Metal Church fans. Initial thoughts was that he died of an illness or overdose, but a few days later it was revealed to have been a suicide. It was ashame too because everybody said he was a happy dude and thrilled to be back in the band that he loved back in the day.
