Does anyone else think that Chris’ voice is super relaxing? Or is it just me?
Tayler Johnathan completely agree. Been hoping someone else would say it at some point hahaha
it really is. i 🖤 him so much
Chris in general is just very relaxing
I totally agree with you
I love it!!!
I love this band
He keeps talking about change and the one album was called Graveyard Shift. Maybe the next can be called Paradigm Shift.
I'll see myself out
I for mexicans ? :(
At the intro I thought he was gonna be like “What’s up I’m Chris Motionless from Motionless In White and you’re watching...Disney channel”
😂😂😂😂
Kinda need to hear him say it now though
YES me exactly---
I need to here that now befor I die lol😂😅
For a sec i thought he did say that when i zoned out but i rewinded it & knew i was trippin💀💀
No band should feel obliged to constantly tour, like they’re human and need a break as much as anything✌🏻
Acefire its kinda fucked up that they are made to feel that way
That's how the music industry goes. Especially when the bands are big an famous like motionless in white an others.
Yuki Kittyy damn that’s sad /:
@@yukikittyy3522 the other thing is people want to see them in different parts of the world...but there's not enough time to do it all. Especially as a band with any sort of fame/recognition; and splitting it up to where you don't overwork youself. You should never get to a point where doing what you love turns into a "job" or "chore"
Honestly I think bands need to take long breaks away from each other, hang out with family and friends, maybe work on personal life or work...have a solo job or whatever it may be...
Bands shouldn't feel they have to cater to the fans' wants and needs, even though there are folks that will disagree
@@phant0m0th_ totally agree, of course I'm so happy and grateful I got to see them in my country (a few shows prior to this one in London actually) but I don't expect them to come every few months or something, that's just crazy
He is such a softie, you can see how uncomfortable he feels but he powers through it. Such an amazing band to see live and I hope one day I'll be able to afford a meet + greet with them
Trinity Crow we need more guys like him.
He is very kind during meet and greets. My daughter made me to the concert. He laughed and said he would make sure I left a bigger fan than her. We chatted for a minute about music.
James Gerdes chris is so damn sweet, hearing stories like that about motionless makes me wanna just cry my eyes out! Five of the best guys you could ever met!
I just love seeing Chris talking so passionately about the record, the music video, etc. It makes everything they do so much more personal and overall amazing. He's such a great and honest guy
Lorena Mijic Really would love to talk to him and the rest of the band, as you said they seem so chill
@@kematirar2744 same! One day I'll have to buy a vip ticket to get the chance to talk to them. They're all so down to earth and that's what makes their band so personal and appealing to fans
He is just amazing love everything they've put out even the very first ep 😊 and chris has some beautiful hands
James seems good at helping Chris feel comfortable when he starts being critical of what he's saying! Skilled interviewer.
He's a solid interviewer, great to see some one so adept at what they do
I was at that show. great night.
I like how humble Chris is.
Michael Lyle Yea, wouldn’t want to see his angry side but he seems like a chill ass dude
7:20 “Allow me to finish so I don’t put it all on you”... how is he so diplomatic? I hate being interrupted and could never respond so politely! Love Chris!
I saw a lot of bands live this year and MIW was by far the best. Great setlist, tight performance, lots of energy and you can tell Chris and the band are really down to earth dudes who appreciate their fans.
Yo @Basu nice seeing u here love your instrumentals your the best on the whole platform :)
Motionless are always so kind and thankful to their fans. I just love that they are so grounded ♡♡ they are the best for sure! And as he ask chris where he see s them in the future i hope touring in germany again xD but after a break of course xD
said they're nvr touring Germany again
Ralo Pib and?
He’s so freaking cute!
I need his skin care routine ASAP
Isn't it makeup? Like foundation and whatnot?
Jordan Sims well in that case I need to know what foundation he uses lol but in order to have flawless foundation you gotta have good skin
@@kbr2726 he is pretty damn handsome though
Vegan diet, no sugar. Best skincare routine tbh
Jade Willets But it’s so hard 😭lol
It's still weird seeing Chris without the piercings...🤔
I miss his peircings tbh
His hands tattoos too
Jake Mackenzie Same! He should totally get them back.
@@kayleigh8609 i agree
I was wondering why he looked kinda off 😅
I was at the show in Glasgow was fucking amazing I got a rose from Chris I also had a meet and greet they are so lovely and sweet ☺️☺️
Jealous! We're seeing them in January and ny fiance wants to snag a rose for me it's like his goal but I dont think we're going to be close enough for that :(
@@Dogmomma23 I had the VIP and we got to the front do we where lucky
Omg I was there and got the meet and greet too! I wish I got a rose though☹️ you’re so lucky
I got a rose as well in Cologne, until some jealous bitch ripped it out of my hand /:
💔😭😭😭
I have a question: Where does Chris hang out on Tour? He is never in Ricky’s updates
Ikr I have been wondering about that for like 3 days lol
Ikr, one thing I do on everything Ricky’s update is looking for Chris
@lucyxhorror I guess they all do =/
It's so weird! He just hides
Nory Cory he is in them, just gotta look hard enough and watch them all. Ricky said Chris doesn’t like to be on camera as much but he is around when they’re filming just not in frame
Chris is such a humble dude. Would love to hang out with him.
I so wish I could see MIW but idk anyone who also listens to them😭😭🖤🖤
At the time I went to the concert I also didn't have friends who listened to them as well and/or could fo to the show with me, so I went alone. And it still was great, so I recomend to go even if you're alone :)
I don't even have friends in the country I live in let alone MIW fans. I just missed them a few weeks ago too. You'll meet friends when you see MIW live. Maybe talk to some people next to you or something.
I've been going to concerts alone for years! Didn't regret one show!
After a while I found a Facebook Group with people who also didn't have people to go to shows with & I met up with a few at the next show. I have grown incredible friendships with them & our little concert gang grows and grows, bc we just talk to people who are alone at concerts & it's the coolest thing! :)
Just try to put yourself out there.
And for now, just enjoy going alone to concerts, there's nothing wrong with it. :)
I do! Come see them with me on the 8th!
Also I've seen them alone 5 times, it's almost better to be honest...you can get emotional and sing arm and arm with other fans. It's great....my offer still stands for January 8th though!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Even just his voice is a turn on 🥵🤤
Chris looks like a younger Marilyn Manson, but he seems like he's super smart and cool!!!
He is, and so is Marilyn. His interviews are amazing, I’ve checked a few 😉!!!
@@grinforme4905 That's great! Will need to do!
Is Chris motionless and Marilyn Manson the same person??
Chris Parker no, dude!!! 😂 😂 🤣
@@chrisparker6652 HaHa..... LOL 😆
When the screen went black because the video changed to the music video I nearly got a heart attack and I don't know why. I guess I can easily be scared by such stuff XD
lee 7137 I didn’t jump but I looked up quickly but mostly cause he mentioned Edward Scissorhands and that’s my favorite movie
Gathering coins from the couch cushions, Ive been to every single MIW show near me including Warped Tour but unfortunately this year I just can’t afford it.
Motionless has been the one band that throughout all these years has not lost my interest and support. Ive met Chris and he is an amazing guy. No matter what changes go on in the band, I know I will feel something when I hear your music. Thank you for making music I, and many other, can connect and relate to.
I'd happily get you a ticket for next time!
Sophie Cat aw thats sweet ! The show is on 1/25 but its alright, thank you though. (:
For having such a deadly beast of a voice he seems super soft spoken and humble. Need more guys like that in the scene.
He's makeup and eyebrows are always stunning 😍❤ btw love the album 👽
I hope that break they take next year really hits the spot for them, they deserve it. Do you Motionless, that’s what makes us love you guys! 🤘🏻
no one:
me: he’s so hawt
I think u mean everyone
I could watch/listen to Chris talk for hours. 🖤
Chris touching his hair so often got me distracted from what he was talking about 😂❤
That can be a comfort thing when ppl feel uncomfortable 😕
glad the new member (bass player) can do well in the band and blend perfectly,he provide backing vocal,already got much spotlight in music video.... got any plan to recrut new keyboardist?
Yes!! That's what i've been wondering!
This place is haunted!!
Chris 😍💜💚 Im so happy that Disguise is doing so well - I've been loving it more and more since it came out. Hope to catch you guys in Detroit again soon and hopefully the meet & greets don't sell out before I can get one this time 😄💜
666 views 118 likes and no dislikes. I think I picked the perfect time to watch this 🤘🖤💜🖤😈
I like very much the tone, how Chris speaks, moreover that he looks down when thinks, very natural and simply shows he speaks truth and goes deep into thoughts to bring the true facts and stories
I love you Chris! Please come to Mexico!! 🇲🇽 ♡♡
Main land mexico or baja side? I ask because they are in san Diego on the 8th.
@@MaggiesNight I mean the country, haha thanks ☆
The man is a genius when it comes to his music. No song is the same sound as the last keep up the great work chris.👨🎨👨🎨👨🎨
Hope one day once they come back when it’s not sold out I get to finally meet Chris and the band so I can tell him how I feel 🖤🤘🏻
Fantastic show. Chris is a great man, and MIW is my favorite band yet. Absolutely incredible people.
Hey Chris!
I am verry happy to see you.
How are you !
Happy merry Christmas and happy New year!
Julie.
That was the most disney 2010s intro ever
However i may feel about some of the more recent music, standup guy as always.
All of your music is great! Always has been always will be! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! And Chris you're so effing HOT 🤘😝
Another Life is phenomenal!!!!! Jesus Christ that is the song ! 🤟🏻
I want hugs from them all •^•
If chris reads this: please record stuff on the studio 😄
What would I have to do to possibly get a hug from the band? Your art keeps me fighting a tough time in life. You're incredibly talented and humble and grateful to your fans and opportunities you've been given or worked for. I wish you all the moon n stars for next year and beyond. Ps can Chris give makeup lesson cos he's awesome! X
Sophie Cat If you can afford it, get a VIP meet n greet package. You still get your admission ticket for GA but you also get
1) to meet the band and receive hugs (most of the time, unless they do a group Q&A type of thing or so I’ve heard. I’ve never been to a Q&A one but every time I’ve gotten hugs.)
2.) if they choose, a Q&A
3.) a vip gift (usually signed posters and pins for jackets)
4.) a VIP photo with the band.
And they are very sweet and friendly toward their fans. Chris has a habit of squeezing the air out of me and he nuzzles too. They all nuzzle when they give hugs, some more than others.
@@davejones1218 thanks for replying. Covid has stopped M&G in UK but I'm at London gig. I'm disabled n going alone so if anyone wants to be my 'carer' and has ID I'm happy for you to have the complimentary ticket, I'm 53 so an older rock granny like me would be so cool lol.
I wish disabled seating was more available at venues cos there's too few and the only way I could attend it to forgoe my walker which isn't possible. Gutted I had to miss this gig. Love to all MIW family and Rocksound. Happy Xmas from UK xxx
Im in a wheelchair and cant mosh anymore i share the same feeling where im from theres really only 2 good venus close to me that have good wheelchair acess and seats . The indursty chances but it seems cenuse and ppls opions dont .we desirve to have good fun days to
Enjoy our life!! And consitering ive seen bands like motionsless 2 and knot 14 times korn 4 and so on im not adjusting to the lack of aceasble fun we have as disbled people of any walk of life
@@rebeccamcguire2798 that's so great to hear. I managed to get a disabled spot in London so I'm wishing time would pass faster lol. I've done gigs before I couldn't walk unaided but we deserve as much as anyone else! So sick of being invisible on the street too. Anyway, keep on gigging!
Coolest dude bro and very intelligent
I love how honest he answers the question. Love his enthusiasm on the album.
Album is amazing
He's kinda pretty 🤔
this guy’s eyebrows are always perfect 😩
Chicago 1/15/20
Can’t wait !!!
House of blues!!
Such a sweetheart
Paula M. Kaminski he is total boyfriend goals.
This is the first time in my 20 years of listening to music that i sat an listened to an entire miw album and i love this one to bits. Cause it gives me 90s an early 2000s music that literally founded my taste in music.
I've seen MIW 2x. They're so amazing live. They don't sound like trash either live.
Still the best 2010’s band ever
I missed them in Nashville. Please come back. I didn't have anyone to go with and I've been regretting not going ever since. You guys keep on keepin on.
Fuck that. I would so go to a concert by myself
@@wittekurt I know better now.
I hope you find the courage to go alone as fans are great at supporting each other and I'm sure someone will say hello so you feel less lonely. I'm 51 and go alone so I don't miss out, just sucks having to try and get disabled seat first or I can't go. Here's to a great next year gigging x
@@sophiecat2161 Thanks! 😉🖤🖤 I will
great interview dude
Jesus what's up with that tiny couch the look like packed sardines on it 😂...but love MIW and new album. Chris is a badass
will they ever come to asia :
Huge fan love this band, Chris is amazing. 🙂👍🌷❤
I would love to see Motionless in White and Slipknot tour together; that, or have various members from each band contribute to different guest appearances through shows or music videos. How awesome would it be to see Chris Motionless and Corey Taylor hanging out together? MIW is on its way to being the new Slipknot.
Just one more creature album please just one more
Motionless In White should win a fucking Grammy!!!
I keep hearing that horror intro bell ring in those animated horror stories. I love you MIW. This was my summer jam, and I always cry when I listen to Undead Ahead 2, and Catharsis.😿
Damn, he should do an eyebrow tutorial!
why did I think he was gonna say Disney channel when he said “and you’re watching...”
The Tour with Atreyu was my introduction.... thanks guys freaking love u guys.
Hear the album infamous, if you haven't already done so. 🤘
@@francismotionless393 thank you for the recommendation... funny thats the only album i hadn't downloaded from Spotify. On it now. I like most of their others, so im sure i will enjoy.
Kurt the album's a turning point for MIW. I feel that album influenced their sound in reincarnate and graveyard shift, and now disguise
The disguise show in Kentish Town London was incredible the energy there was amazing 😉
Im Chris Motionless from Motionless in White and you are watching the Disney Channel 💫
#creaturestour2020 👏🖤
Love MIW and especially Chris! New album is definitely amazing. Chris keeping doing you, you shine brighter then you think!! Cant wait to see you guys at Rockville in Daytona Beach 5/2020
I met Chris in Leeds he was so nice!
Looks like rhea ripley from nxt lmao
I feel like he's almost on chris' lap lol that chair is so tiny for two dudes. But great interview regardless id be so distracted being so close to another person like that 😂😂
I feel like Chris describes this kinda of Murphy's Law effect within the band. Rolling through the motions of everything like communication, line up change, chemistry, just anything that could naturally happen for better or worse. Either way, whatever happens is meant to happen. But it has made them a tighter unit which in turn gave Disguise the vibe that it was born with
Hi I'm Chris Motionless and you're watching Disney Channel!
One of the things that I really like about this new album is the amount of hearing Chris’s AMAZING SINGING VOICE! Like, wow, dude!! Chris’s voice is amazing, and it’s so unique.
Chris: "I'm fantasti- it's so weird to talk into a mic like this "I'M FANTASTIC" "
I was at the Kentish town gig, they were amazing. It was the first time I had seen them live and I will certainly be going to every one of their London gigs again!
I got a little distanced from MIW but now I'm catching up and watching this I forgot how much I loved Chris 🖤
So happy the band is in a good place. Cant wait to hopefully see them live again soon
The fact that a man that look like "this" can be that awesome, well educated, creative and passionate says a lot about all those "normal" ones that are usually a waste of time out here.
Chris is such a sweet, intelligent soft soul, and that's the biggest compliment I could ever give someone. I love him to bits 🖤
I absolutely love you guys ♥️ MIW is by far my favorite band and I love everything they do ♥️♥️♥️
It's like butter on hot toast or maple syrup on fluffy pancakes!
Am I the only one to literally know that this guy is the most humble f****** person you'll ever see like I want to get a f****** burger with this guy pop open a cold one and just talk
I cant wait for the next album! 1 of my favorite bands of all time 🤟
rock sound you need to change that mic situation.. the giant logo and speaking placement is tacky and off-putting. just my opinion.. its distracting in a negative way
If Marilyn Manson and Mitch Lucker had a love child.
He has nice hands... Sorry sounds weird, but he has nice hands
Does anyone else think he looks like a stereotypical lesbian in the thumbnail.
I want them to tour with Impending Doom, and Extol
Omgggg I love miw this is best one ever
He Is so beautiful In This lighting
Cant wait too see you guys in Philly in January
You're watching Disney channel
Chris kind of looks like a human scream mask
I fucking love that song
