If you want to find out the band who influenced these bands (ie. Tool & Porcupine Tree) listen to Rush (albums: 2112, Hemispheres, A Farewell to Kings, and Csress of Steel. I highly recommend going down the Rush rabbit hole. Great reaction!!
I know I'm way late on this Comment I enjoyed your reaction and if I'm not mistaken, it's about his grandfather passing. The Devils orchard is about his gf that committed suicide. Alot of story in their songs
Maybe do a little bit of research before you upload a video? Sofi Tukker is an American duo with world roots…and they are fabulous. I have several of their songs on my playlist for work. Every single time one of their songs come up, I have customers dancing, and asking me who they are. Maybe don’t dismiss so quickly, eh?
It's ironic that people from the older generation talk about how they're "losing faith" in the young generation. We are only a product of the world around us, a world that the older generations have already shaped to be a destructive place. They talk a great deal about how we cause problems but forget about the world effecting issues they leave behind every day for the younger generation to clean up for them when they're all dead and gone. I think that the older generation need to keep an open mind, and remember that at one point in their lives, the generation above them looked down on their music choices and their choices of how they are as a person, yet now somehow that gets projected down to us next? I enjoyed the reaction, don't take this at all the wrong way. I just really felt like I needed to defend our young generation.
This song and Start of Something Beautiful are masterpieces on this album IMO. Lazarus is a different more melodic song, but worth a listen for sure. The whole Deadwing album may be my favorite from them. But they have so many great songs, including their b-sides. Even the early Porcupine Tree, a little different sounding is good to great. Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun are probably my favorites from their early era. More Floyd vibes, wheras Deadwing, In Absentia, Fear of a Blank Planet are probably their most metal albums. Live versions in general are better than their studio albums.
I’m disappointed in Tom Hanks reactions, but Forrest Gump will always be my favorite movie of all time and you can’t convince me otherwise. I’m extremely disappointed in you Tom, but that movie is my favorite movie ever.
This is a great cover of Allegro barbaro by the Hungarian composer Bela Bartok. Edit: I might have been misunderstood. Allegro barbaro was composed by Bela Bartok.
Hello, I'm from Birmingham. If you're visiting the area another place you should consider seeing is the Severn Valley railway. Its just outside Birmingham and you can get to it by train from Birmingham City centre (its not far). You can spend the day riding about the countryside on a steam trains.
Aethelflead & Edward aka Edward the Elder were 2 of Alfred aka Alfred the Great's children. Aethelflead married Aethelred of Mercia & after his death in 911, Aethelflead became Queen of Mercia & Edward was King of Wessex after his father died in 899. Alfwynn was Queen for a short while like 6 - 18 months after Aethelflead died in 918 until Edward took the throne because Aelfwynn was deposed. The show The Last Kingdom is based on Alfred & his family though only 2 of his children appear in it & it is the most historically accurate then the sequel movie Seven Kings Must Die is historically based on how England was formed. The narrarator is mispronouncing the old name for Scotland which is Alba not Alaba. There is also 2 other historical show called Vikings & Vikings: Valhalla, but The Last Kingdom is the most historically accurate.
The barbarian was probably the first prog metal before rush voivod Etc or anyone else in that vein😊 the very first progressive rock group was arguably the nice featuring Keith Emerson as well followed by King Crimson featuring Greg Lake😮 so you can see how they all kind of tie in with each other😊
That was a pretty shit video - He couldn't even pronounce some of the places correctly. Odd list. You should look up both accents and languages of the British Isles.
You really have a knack for analysis of this type of music. To take your "series" analogy a step further, you end up, as you say, that feeling of the song(s) really paying off in the end and then when you listen to the next time it gets easier and way better because now you know about the pay off at the end and so the anticipation and build up becomes so much more recognizable. The second time you listen to the beginning the "love song" with the guitars playing now has a slight sinister quality to it, a tease that there is evil lurking under this beautiful interaction waiting to intrude. It's that slow build up with the knowledge of where this will end up that makes this a truly incredible piece of music. But on another level you are right, they did put these scraps of songs together and work them into a piece of music, it was not something they wrote in one go, it was "I have this little something" and someone had "something else" so they stitched away after it was suggested by one of the band members that maybe it could be done. In any event this is a very very challenging song to introduce to your partner and I have zero problem with her feelings as she works through this piece -took me quite some time to like it, what carried me was the "A FLOWER!" change up -I loved it and would just wait for that part and eventually the rest of the song took hold. So more Genesis PLEASE: Carpet Crawlers from their Lamb album (double album -pure concept -very trippy at times) has a bit of repetition and folks really love that song on a first go, though it is very chill. I'd recommend it next if you are considering more Genesis (please consider). Peter Sings, Phil on Drums, Tony Banks of course on Keyboards (he really is the main man in this band), and Steve Hackett on Guitar with Michael Rutherford on Bass. Weird and wonderful lyrics that will wrinkle your foreheads but a mythical feel and slow build that I think your partner will really enjoy.
“Boybands can’t play instruments” actually Take That’s Gary is very well known for composing the songs and playing piano on them. Also, if we want to apply the cultural definition of what boybands are, Beatles were definitely the biggest boyband in history and they definitely could play their instruments. But also, I don’t get where the boyband thing comes from? Is it just because they learnt a choreography? Anyway, there are no bad boys in Ok Go. They are all rays of pure sunshine. Maybe Andy might be the one who looks less hype all the time, but it seems it’s because he’s more reserved than the others. Anyway, hope you ended up watching all of their videos because they are just pure awe and happiness.
