Fuck ! I had to wait 30 years for the sound of the 80´s to make a come back .. It´s like GTA 3 had a child with Michael Jackson and Pablo Escobar was throwing a cocaine party with sprinkle of Fear and loathing . An absolute masterpiece .
This video is actually a continuation from his last video "Heartless". In fact every video from his " After Hours" era are connected. Below is the watch sequence so far: 1. Heartless MV 2. Blinding Lights MV 3. Blinding Lights Live at Jimmy Kimmel 4. After Hours (Short Film) 5. In Your Eyes MV 6. Untill I Bleed Out MV Nice reaction 👍👍
@@MatthewRunaway I don't think he's ever done something like blinding lights. His stuff is more dark , at least his older stuff. Maybe something off starboy, its a little more pop.
Ajax Jay hihiiii so I recently recorded a cover of ‘blinding lights’ by the weeknd and u totally don’t have to check it out and you are at perfect liberty to roll your eyes at this comment and SCROLL on with your day (haha see what I did there... wow... hilarious) but if you took a moment to check out my ‘blinding lights’ cover on my page it would mean more to me than a pond full of ducklings, and trust me - I LOVE ducklings 😻🦆
His aesthetics, not musically but just him is like a cross between Lenny Kravitz and Prince and the Joker while playing GTA. The music is like Michael Jackson singing some variant of 80s synthpop New Wave.
Mostly filmed in downtown Los Angeles near the Disney Concert Hall. The place was also used for the Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. Tunnel is near by called the 2nd Street Tunnel used for the movie Transformers.
Yeah, and the club shots were done in a restaurant called Cicada on Olive St in DTLA. Cicada was also used in Mr & Mrs Smith and a number of other shows. It kinda has a supper club vibe.
Dude, you stop the video 3 times before he even starts singing!!!! Part of watching reaction videos is jamming along with you guys. If you keep stopping the song it kills the vibe.
It was filmed in both Fremont street and downtown L.A EDIT:This song is about him drunk driving to see a girl since he's lonely. That effect was how he views the oncoming headlights as they pass by. Hence "Blinding lights".
This album is also inadvertently based around the movie fear and loathing in Las Vegas, is highly recommend the movie an also reacting to his music video heartless which is a prequel to this video
Great Reaction! Another great song that he put out in his most recent album is called In Your Eyes, which is a total 80's inspired song too that is really amazing. But my all time favorite is Save Your Tears, which has easily made it in to my top 10 favorite songs of all time.
"I don't know anything about The Weeknd" Proceeds to guess what the rest of his catalog sounds like and that he probably can't spin out a very fast Merc lol
PLEASE react to his older albums, trilogy and Kissland. I'd love to see an album reaction for those too. (I'm sure you'd get tons of views too lol, there's a ton of Weeknd fans and not enough trilogy and Kissland reactions.) I'm sure you'll love those albums.
Matthew Runaway if you’re talking about The Weeknd, that one comment where it showed the order of The Weeknd’s new music videos and how they all line up together is definitely cool and would be cool to see you check it out.
Matthew Runaway personally I love it, but it is not much like blinding lights. I am a hip hop fan, and that song is a perfect merge between trap and RnB with The Weeknd’s vocals. If that sounds like something you’d be into then please react! If not then In Your Eyes is a great song more similar to Blinding Lights
Juss to let yk that there was a music video after before this called heartless and there both connected I should react to but In the heartless music video he licks a toad witch is some kind of ritual almost like selling ur soul and In blinding lights that was exactlyafter he did it , btw love ur reactions so much bro . React to some Travis Scott -goosebumps
From the album Trilogy tracks like wicked games or House of Ballons/Glass table girls. From the beauty behind the madness album songs like the hills or earned it. From the album starboy tracks the tracks feel it coming or starboy(track)

this song has (A-ha's 'Take on Me) vibe. specially in the beginning of the song. also the 80 songs are way better these this crappy music's we heard these days 😃
I don't wanna sound like a douchebag but i think you should concentrate more on the lyrics and music. You can do all the side talk at the end of the video. Its just an advice. I m glad you liked his music.
Dude the constant pausing is stupid, why do people do that when reacting to videos? Just watch the thing, take the whole thing in and react when it's over!!!
Well to be fully honest I looked up a few reaction videos before I started doing them and that’s how they did it. Then I thought well...I can do that and I started them. So I really never even thought about doing that! Thanks for the tip! I’ll try it in some videos and see how people react to it!
The pausing is done by most reactors because without it the videos tend to get blocked for copyright infringement and can lead to strikes against the channel.
@@MatthewRunaway dude your reacting to a video your giving your thoughts so pause all you want if they want to watch the video that can watch the music video.

The vib of this video and song is so 80s. It's almost I'm living in the 80s again
Ah yes, 80's vib
I was like you before, then I heard this song for the first time, now I'm addicted to all Weeknd music
LMAO! Welcome to the club! Ya I'm really liking the songs I've checked out!
Yeah bro I am too
More weeknd. The whole album is amazing. Or even his old stuff. 💕
I have one coming for you next week! What songs would you sugest are kinda like Blinding Lights?
@@MatthewRunaway oh yay! Can't wait.😊😊
@@MatthewRunaway I don't think he's ever done something like blinding lights. His stuff is more dark , at least his older stuff. Maybe something off starboy, its a little more pop.
🙏🏻
Ok:) I’ll have a look! Someone suggested heartless? How do you feel about that?
"Those guys are from the rental company." "They saw how he was driving their car."
ROFLMAO
Best reaction video comment ever!
Hahahah, cmon man dis guy does not know how much The Weeknd is worth 😂😂
You have a good eye. Video was filmed in both Vegas and Los Angeles.
Thank you!! It looked like 2 cities!
I thought maybe Toronto.
The Financial District of Downtown LA, specifically. The club scenes were in the restaurant Cicada, which is used in lots of film shoots.
this one going to be in GTA 6 also gives joker vibes
REALLY! That's a perfect song to be in GTA
Ajax Jay hihiiii so I recently recorded a cover of ‘blinding lights’ by the weeknd and u totally don’t have to check it out and you are at perfect liberty to roll your eyes at this comment and SCROLL on with your day (haha see what I did there... wow... hilarious) but if you took a moment to check out my ‘blinding lights’ cover on my page it would mean more to me than a pond full of ducklings, and trust me - I LOVE ducklings 😻🦆
Wasted by juice wrld and uzi would be so perfect aswell
He takes you to the ,past brings you to , present and to future. HE is a superstar.
Nice intro man!! 😁🤙🏻 keep em comin!!
Hell ya brother!!! Thank you!
His aesthetics, not musically but just him is like a cross between Lenny Kravitz and Prince and the Joker while playing GTA.
The music is like Michael Jackson singing some variant of 80s synthpop New Wave.
"Inspirations":
1) Tangerine Dream (L.A. Street Hawk theme) - (Music)
2) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - (Video)
3) Michael Jackson - (Performer)
I'll have a look!!
And Joker dance
TheWeeknd can sound like a modern Prince when he wants to.
Mostly filmed in downtown Los Angeles near the Disney Concert Hall. The place was also used for the Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises. Tunnel is near by called the 2nd Street Tunnel used for the movie Transformers.
Oh no way that’s awesome! I thought it was too cool looking for Toronto lmao!!
Matthew Runaway thanks. Toronto is a pretty cool city too.
Yeah, and the club shots were done in a restaurant called Cicada on Olive St in DTLA. Cicada was also used in Mr & Mrs Smith and a number of other shows. It kinda has a supper club vibe.
Listen to rolling stone by The Weeknd I believe you’ll really enjoy it
I 100% will! Is there a video for it? I'll do a reaction if there is!!!
Matthew Runaway yes there is a video for it
@@Mapl344 Awesome! I'll add it to the list!
Matthew Runaway please react to more of The Weeknd
Matthew Runaway do wasted times by The Weeknd also
Yes, he does have a live band. 3 guys - drummer, guitarist, and bass/keys. The drummer has been with him from the start.
Dude, you stop the video 3 times before he even starts singing!!!! Part of watching reaction videos is jamming along with you guys. If you keep stopping the song it kills the vibe.
youtube subtitles: [Music]
the Weeknd is the truth and your reactions are dope man keep it up I see you getting to 1m subs I'll be waiting for that in your eye reaction
Thank you so much brother! That means a lot! in your eyes is coming down the list!
It was filmed in both Fremont street and downtown L.A
EDIT:This song is about him drunk driving to see a girl since he's lonely. That effect was how he views the oncoming headlights as they pass by. Hence "Blinding lights".
It was filmed in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
The Weeknd brought me here and you didn't disappoint! I agree you should watch all the videos in order! Hope to see more reactions. 👍🏼
"Sound like the soundtrack to stranger things", yup my thoughts exactly I first heard it.
This album is also inadvertently based around the movie fear and loathing in Las Vegas, is highly recommend the movie an also reacting to his music video heartless which is a prequel to this video
React to In your eyes by the weeknd
I can make that happen! thank you for the suggestion!
Great Reaction! Another great song that he put out in his most recent album is called In Your Eyes, which is a total 80's inspired song too that is really amazing. But my all time favorite is Save Your Tears, which has easily made it in to my top 10 favorite songs of all time.
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I'll check out both and the 80's thing has me pumped up!
I am definitely loving the intro and the videos man keep them coming. Why don’t you do a reaction video to any ac/dc track
Thank you!! I 100% can make that happen! Any track with a music video you'd like to see?
The one that comes to mind is thunderstruck
Hell ya I can do that!!:)
It's Downtown Vegas and it ends in Downtown LA at the 4th Street tunnel
I watched them making this song 😆
I loved the longest and bestest and catchy ad of a Mercedes.
vegas is big, and it hurts :)
He was in Las Vegas because my mom said she went to one of those places when she was the that was also caught in the video.
"I don't know anything about The Weeknd"
Proceeds to guess what the rest of his catalog sounds like and that he probably can't spin out a very fast Merc lol
Depending on what time on my roads there is no one so you technically could
I liked it and it changed from 399 to 400
THE WEEKND IS THE GOAT AND YOUNG MJ MICHEAL IS WATCHING HIM HE KNOWS THERE THE SAME
Waiting on the whole album
He was actually in LA for most of the video.
Oh really! That's cool I felt there was some shots in LA.
Watch the “In Your Eyes” music video
When you tell a joke and nobody thought it was funny 0:31
PLEASE react to his older albums, trilogy and Kissland. I'd love to see an album reaction for those too. (I'm sure you'd get tons of views too lol, there's a ton of Weeknd fans and not enough trilogy and Kissland reactions.) I'm sure you'll love those albums.
Ya I agree I'm from Vegas and some shots aren't familiar. Great song though
React to the whole album. It’s really really good
He’s from Canada so part of it was prolly in Toronto.
I feel it coming by him please
They had Mercedes in the 80s
Ac/dc thunderstruck yes. I love all the juice WRLD videos👏 keep it up
I'm miami vicing
Blinding lights was mostly a GTA5 vibe for me but a little bit of the 80s
I mean the weekend is amazing
Nice video!
Thank you!! Anything you’d specifically like me to listen to?
Matthew Runaway if you’re talking about The Weeknd, that one comment where it showed the order of The Weeknd’s new music videos and how they all line up together is definitely cool and would be cool to see you check it out.
Heartless has been required a lot! How do you feel about that song?

If that sounds like something you’d be into then please react! If not then In Your Eyes is a great song more similar to Blinding Lights

From the album Trilogy tracks like wicked games or House of Ballons/Glass table girls. From the beauty behind the madness album songs like the hills or earned it. From the album starboy tracks the tracks feel it coming or starboy(track)
Ok awesome! I’ll try and get some videos up soon!
Combination of Take On Me and Maniac (that Flashdance song)?
Lol why does know one see the car as a metaphor of a guy on drugs feeling the rush. Am I the only one that has done drugs? Lol

J.R. W. everyone reacts differently tho
That grin at the end was him accepting his villain side. The whole album is a sad but good story.
