Welcome back Matt! you were really missed! For the letter B, I would like to request the following artists: - Breaking Benjamin: The Diary of Jane - Billy Eilish : When the party's over R.I.P Greg Potter!!

RIP Greg 😔

I missed your videos so much 😊 You make the best reaction videos in YT, because you explain all what is important to know and you can explain your opinion in a perfect way. Thank you for made my day in so many times🙏😀

Your attention to small detail is absolutely amazing,1 of the best reviews I have seen,

I loved the song and the crazy video! Thank you ! Welcome back , we all missed you 😎✌🏻 So I’m going to start with E for Epica , song Freedom -The Wolves within ✌🏻

RIP Greg ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Where have you been? I just finished watching your first reaction to Dimash when he sang SOS. So glad to have you back. Your insight on the videos is awesome. So sorry about Greg loosing someone is always hard I’m going through the same thing and I find myself talking to him. And I tell him that I’m mad at him for leaving but that I forgive and it’s ok. Doing that helps me . But anyway I’m glad you are back.

RIP Greg.

I'm sure Greg is just loving this tribute to him, Matt--I swear I can almost hear him saying, "I TOLD cha!!!" LOL Thank you for letting others know about his crossing over and sharing this wonderful tribute to him. He'd be grateful of it, I'm certain. May I suggest something kinda different for the "G" category?? Having played trumpet thru college, I just adore the shininess, the brilliance of brass. And this group was really rising to fame in the mid 70's when tragedy struck and several of the band members, including the founder, Bill Chase, were killed in a small plane crash. I LOVE their combination of rock and jazz. (Maynard Ferguson, the trumpeter who did the theme for "Rocky" was another who excelled in blending these 2 genres.) And I will freely admit it--I will never, ever, everrr be able to get enough of these brass "waterfalls!" See if you might agree. :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ERZZr5ckOeg.html

Awe sorry to hear about Greg. Thoughts & prayers to his family & friends. Hope you & Mocha are doing ok and I’m looking forward to more of your reviews.

Matt how nice to have you back :) I was missing you and your eye for details :) And hello to Mocha :) So lovely to see her back too :) Thank you for mentioning Greg. He was great guy. Caring, generous and giving. We talked a lot via Skype. I miss him every single day. When I read the news in the net I was shocked, I knew he had lots of problems, but never expected such outcome. I think Greg did not too. he had plans to travel to Europe, to Chech and Poland and we were supposed to meet after Dimash's concert in Prague. Losing him is hard. I like your idea about ABC of music but... really any kind of music? Like classical too? And ant performer from any genre from any part of the world from any period in history? Just in alphabetical order? Well there is a lot of work ahead of you :) I am looking forward to your reactions and I hope you wil include some Dimash songs too. Greetings from Poland - Karolina

Thanks you Matt! FUN Exciting idea! GREG WOULD BE THRILLED! ❤❤🥳🥳🥳🥳

Welcome back Matt!

From The Land of the Long White Shroud, nice to see you reacting to some local boys. 👍😎 Your comments on Iwi and Maoritanga were rather amusing, too - some will be determined to be offended (there's ALWAYS some), but "**** them if they can't take a joke", as we say down here.

Greg would love this Matt ❤️. I'm sure he is also watching. I'm happy your back!

The boys are in their late teens I think, they started at like 14 or 15. They’re all Maori, and all the people in the video are as well. Their goal is to keep the language and culture alive by exposing as many people as possible to it. The old guy represents Tumatauenga, their god of war. It’s supposed to be a representation of an attack on a village (the guy shouting at the beginning is saying “War party! War party!”) that then gets defeated by the gods.

Ohh Greg 😔 I'm so sorry. RIP. I'm so glad you're here again. Hi pretty girl Mocha!!! I loved the song! A bit crazy haha I'll take a look on spotify. Thanks! And, well, maybe you can react to BTS 😎 (dynamite, e.g. )it's sooo different haha. See you!!!

Dear Matt, there are more for letter A - Abba - Day Before You Came, Winner Takes It All, Lous Armstrong - New Orlean's Function, Wonderful World, for B Chris de Burgh - The Shadow Of The Mountain, Beethoven - 5th Symphony, 9th Symphony for letter C - Leonard Cohen - Anthem, The Future, Avalanche, You Want it Darker :) This is only few that came to my mind now :) Karolina

Tune and video is Wicked Sick.

These guys are telling the story of when the so called “New Zealand musket war” began, even with enough digging I’m not sure if they are all of this tribe but they definitely are not new to this type of work/entertainment it comes naturally, before the muskets came to NZ it was just “land wars” so muskets we’re introduced upon arrival of the English, this lead to a race for arms, tribes were trading portions of land, slaved tattooed heads ect for arsenal of muskets. In the chorus of the song he basically says “this is the work of tumatauenga” (god of war) that was our only explanation for back than, the gods are punishing us. The bands name “alien weaponry” explains itself 😁 these boys did a very good job incorporating Maori history into metal in my opinion if there was a genre that best described Maori in battle it would be metal.

Nice reaction. Good to see you back. Suggestions for B: Band Maid has some new music vids out... I would suggest either Manners or Warning. :) OH! LMAO - I'm a bit late for B...

I'd recommend either Headbanger or Karate by Babymetal for B. R.I.P Greg

Something that could go with C or M is Camellia by Mili. The music video is very interesting, and the lyrics have a bit of a twist. It isn't metal, but it is quite good. RIP Greg. He will be missed.

R.I.P. GREG. Hi, I missed you so much, you and your reactions. I was almost sure you would react to the new VM of Dimash. Oh please, react to AMANAT, KIELI MEKEN and the newest BE WITH ME. I know it's only a music track and not a video. But it's ok anyhow. The important is that you come back. I love you.

Ha, 50 shades of Apocalypto. I didn't know anything about this band ( let alone be able to recognize this language) the first time I heard this. I was legit in the car thinking "Holy crap, who knew the Japanese could go this heavy?"

Good to see you back, sorry to hear about Greg, R.I.P. For me, there's only one choice for B: Blind Guardian - Bard's Song + Valhalla @ Wacken

Great reaction, I love Alien Weaponry! For the letter B , I suggest Bloodywood, Air Ari, is an awesome song

Sorry to hear that you lost your friend gregg

I'm so sorry for Greg. He will be missed 😔. Nevertheless I'm happy to have you and Moka back 😁🤗! Lots of love from Switzerland 🤗🇨🇭

Cool song, Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas flood live at the el mocambo watched him play for three hours without stopping just unbelievable, Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa Id rather go blind live, ACDC ride on 😊😊😊, condolences for your loss ,we all have or will have one or more of this happening thou life😊😊

RIP Greg Good to have you back I have been following you on the Dimash journey and love your reactions. I saw that you are back and wanted to check your new reaction. I actually enjoyed this band. I have to admit that I am a far cry from metal music (too old) but I am glad to see you again, and love the idea of ABC A bit hesitant to recommend this but would you consider the Kpop world known boy group BTS for the letter b ? Keep healthy and safe. Love from Israel

Welcome back "Sherlock;)" Greetings from Russia!🇷🇺 We are waiting for new reactions!🙏

Kai - food or consume. Tangata - people. Referring to the practice of ritualistic cannibalism of your enemies NOT friends. The warrior being dragged back to be consumed by the victors. The more advanced weapon (musket) only down fall was that they took too long to reload therefore, traditional weapons were better suited for close quarter combat and a more even playing field however, the musket could also be used as long club. The old man is similar to a sharman. Through incantations he is able spiritually eliminate the intruders with muskets. The young girl is the last line of defence. Tumatauenga is the deity of man and war. This band helps keep the indigenous language, history and culture of NZ alive

I'm very very sorry ; _ ; R.I.P. Greg.

Welcome back, I was kind of worried... I am sorry for your loss.. Stay strong. I would love to see you react to Dimash new song AMANAT when you feel like it. Warm regards from Greece 🇬🇷

I hope your new videos will show a large scale od different and original music. Discover Dubravko Lapaine, the unique and mindblowing didgeridoo artist.

It’s so great to see you back making reactions Matt! We all missed you! R.I.P. Greg! This song had crazy instrumentals and you’re right, the chorus is pretty catchy as well. I would like to make a recommendation for the letter “C” City and Colour - Rain When I Die (AIC Cover). He does a very different rendition of the song and it’s wonderful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1x6IULst9r4.html

Before I became a dear of Dimash I was a huge fan of Gotthard, a Band from Switzerland There are a lot of songs which are very good.... they have two eras because they lost their first singer in an accident Steve Lee Since 2010 they have Nic Mader as singer an their “second first” album they called firebirth And an idea for D(imash) some song when he was a lot younger!!!

Kia Ora hello brother new sub from Aotearoa New Zealand

Yeah the actors in the videos are the boys' friends and family members, the boys are half Maori half Dutch.,

Светлая память Грегу! Он был настоящий Dears. Помним и любим! Нам не хватает его переводов на русский язык. Хорошо Мэтт, что решил сделать посвящение Грегу.

If you don't find anything for Y and you want to listen to something funny, then Listen to Ylvis - Stonehenge

Yea bro. All involved in the video are Maori 😊

My recommendation for D -> Dave Brubeck - Take Five

What’s up, Dimash have a new singer out now. Be with me. Great pop song.

Please react to the underrated band null positive. I think its the favorite band von Holger Bücker. He is the German Photoart Champion of 2019. He make a lot of Photos from this genre (Nigtwish ansd some others....). Please react to the song Freiheit (Freedom). Trust me, its awsome.

yes they were all under 20 when recording this

if you havent listened lorna shore i recommend immortal or king ov deception

Bro the guitarist and drummer are brothers and they started the band before they were teenagers

Every Maori is affiliated to a tribe. Usually more than one. The singers are also Maori, and the actors in the video are their family. You are correct in that one tribe dominated with muskets, but Maori just got inventive and created trench warfare.

How far through the alphabet are you brother? And I'm sorry about your friend Gregg it's a part of life that sucks. brother I'm going to send you some links to some more music from Aotearoa New Zealand i hope you enjoy

RIP Greg, so sorry! 😔 If you're willing to try music from other cultures, I have a suggestion: Bucium (pronounced butch-uhm) - Morgana, link below. They're a Romanian folk-prog rock band, pretty awesome. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zJwzay_IYH8.html Otherwise...Breaking Benjamin - Without You or What Lies Beneath. And for C, Creed - One Last Breath 🤘

Bee Gees

hi Matt, my 89 yo mom says you are the best Dimash reviewer (me too) so honestly are you going to do more Dimash??
