FIRST TIME HEARING Toto - Hold The Line REACTION | CLASSIC OR NO?! 

Bobby kimball was an absolute beast vocally in his prime. He’s there with ANYONE

Amazing band full of top class session players, Bobby Kimball is the singer and Steve Lukather is the guitar player

These guys wrote a lot of arrangements and played a lot of instruments on MJ's 'Thriller'

Steve Lukather is a genius. He's played in the studio for so many people. You gotta check out the song Georgie Porgy. It's my favorite Toto song🔥👍🏼.

Man this song is a soul/rock fusion…Bobby’s voice is ice cold

RE - The Drums . 35 years on now & I'm still blown away by Jeff Porcaro's drumming on this song . In Particular , his right foot . His bass drum flair on a song with a pretty straight forward beat really makes this song go . It's worth focusing on when you listen to this one again .

Steve Lukather "Luke" is one the most versatile guitarists around and one my all time favorites.

Bobby's singing and that guitar solo take this song to great heights.

"Straight For the Heart", "Pamela" and "Stop Loving You" are also good.

One of greatest intros EVER. Holds up pretty well!

Also Jeff Porcaro on drums, one of the best of all times.

First time I head this song was in 1980, I was a high school freshmen. It was a Friday, I know this because I always stayed after school and just wandered around waiting for the Friday night football games. I walked by the concert hall in the school and there was a band practicing and they were doing this song. Such good memories and great song.

Thanks guys for reacting to Toto again! Hold the Line is a real Classic, and the guitar is so great! Toto's guitarrist Steve Lukather was also a studio musician and worked with Michael Jackson and other artists. Please, continue maybe with Rossana or 99. Thank you! Regards from Chile :-)

Excellent band. You guys have to hear Toto’s ‘I Won’t Hold You Back’. One of their best, IMO. Thanks for your great appreciation of all this older but great music!! 😎

I find the best song arrangements are where the voice sounds like one of the instruments. Like, the song couldn’t be complete without the accompaniment of that voice playing in tune with the chords of the rest of the instruments of the band. The voice and the way they sing those lyrics are what complete the whole masterpiece. Not sure if I’m explaining that properly, or how to put it into words accurately. But there are just some voices that blends or compliments the whole arrangement just so perfectly it sounds like an instrument.

Oh yeah this is a total classic. When I was a little kid I used to collect 45s & this was one of the 1st in my little kid record collection.

What made Toto unique is that they had several people in the group with killer vocals. Each one was more than capable of taking the lead vocal as the others would be killing the backup vocals. They really should be recognized as one of the top vocal groups of their time. You mentioned the drums, that would be Mr Jeff Picaro one of the top session drummers in the 70’s and 80’s

"Rosanna" is my favorite Toto song. Definitely worth a listen!

This song is a straight up banger and instrumentation is a feast for the ears. This is also one of those songs that can cross through decades of time and crossover and reach other generations as well. You don't see bands like this these days and it's a shame because each one of the members were masters of their craft and played on some of the biggest albums ever then got together to be Toto. I suggest you go down the rabbit hole...you won't regret it.

Check out "I won't hold You Back" by them. It is my favorite song of theirs.

Yes!!! I had the pleasure of seeing Toto on their 40th anniversary tour in 2019; they are SUCH a talented group of studio musicians and songwriters individually; when they come together for Toto, it is priceless. Do you want to hear an R&B Fire song by toto? "GEORGIE PORGY", featuring the Disco Great Cheryl Lynn! By the way, one of the members wrote the song "Human Nature", done by Michael Jackson on his Thriller album and later used by the 90's R&B Girl Group SWV for their hit "Right Here" 🔥🔥❤❤👍👍

💯 CLASSIC. Loved driving and flying around in GTA SAN ANDREAS to this

They're definitely classic and well liked. I sure would've liked to go to one of their concerts earlier on in their career.

MEGA-classic. Band was epic. Guy singing the league vocals on this song is Bobby Kimball. He was a beast on the lead vocals for this song. 🎵

That's my favorite song of theirs. It came out when I was in high school and I immediately learned that keyboard part. Incredibly great soul singing and what a fantastic guitar solo.

He was the best drummer of the last 40 years in pop and rock. Pacaro. Legend

Y’all!! Love your reaction to this old song! I always wonder how some of these old ones are gonna hit now… this one’s still got it and I love that y’all heard it. 😃

World class (Musician's Hall of Fame) Pianist, Guitarist, Drummer, Bassist, and keyboardist with a great lead singer, but 3 others that had lead vocals at times. Rosanna best captured everything about them, with everyone on top of their game. Then other songs take on different feels. I Won't Hold You Back is a ballad sing by their guitarist that is my favorite.

Please do Rosanna by them it’s awesome

What a GREAT band and song 🎸 🎤

I love toto we used to cover their songs when i was in the Band.

Yes that was always my favorite song from them they blend so well. Ty both for that reaction

It’s good to hear Chris opening up a bit more and sharing more freely. ❤️

Steve Lukather (Guitar) played on so many sessions for Albums of the biggest acts in the 80's. Basically, the whole group did loads of sessions, they were a Supergroup.

Check out Toto-Till the end, one of their funkiest ones. Different singer but still incredible singing

I love finding out a song is done by someone I didn't know, and didn't expect.

Yes, it's true. The best music is from the 60s and 70s. And it's not even close. Thanks

Saw Toto in Concert Live on October 20, 2019 at The Met in Philly closing out their "40 Trips Around The Sun" Tour! This band is Amazing Live!!! It was the last concert that I've been too and the very best. They performed every hit song that they've had over their 40 year history. Toto is a Grammy Award winning American rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro, and David Hungate. The band members had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business. Toto backed Michael Jackson on his albums: "Off The Wall", "Thriller" and "Bad". Thanks so much for reacting to Toto's great hit, "Hold The Line" The piano man in the video is the great founding member David Paich, the Badass drummer was Jeff Porcaro (sadly, he passed away), the guitarist is Steve Lukathur, synth and electric keyboards is Steve Porcaro, bassist was (he's retired) David Hungate and the lead singer on this song is Bobby Kimball. Could you please react to my two favorite Toto songs/videos, "Rosanna" and "I'll Be Over You"? Thank you so much for all your reaction videos! Take Care. Much Love & Respect. ✌

React to Georgy Porgy off this same album. This was Toto's first album and it's all straight fire!

TOTAL Classic!! Guitarist Steve Lukather also played the guitar parts on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album, with the exception of the solo on the song “Beat It”, which was the incomparable Eddie Van Halen (RIP).

I have seen this song in several lists of top ten greatest songs ever.

You are still very much missed Jeff Porcaro (Drummer) of this band......Back on August 5, 1992 He died....He was only 38 and of the best drummers in my book....ohhhh yurrrrr!

this song was of the hook then and it still is. i am 52 and have loved this since then

guys, check out "I'll supply the love", from the same album (Toto's debut). It's got kinda a disco vibe, mixed with hard rock.

I started to like this song 5 mayby 10years ago while learning to play drums.Sweet beat!

What’s crazy is this wasn’t even the same singer that sang “Africa.” Toto is like The Eagles. Everyone can sing and play music instruments.

Great bloody song! It would be just wonderful if you could react to “Urgent” by Foreigner ❤️

Yo respect how you didn’t pause a lot and jammed this song a banger

I didn't realize how bad ass the drums were in this song until you were like "Damn!"

My fav Toto song is "I'll Supply the Love", off the same LP as Hold the lIne

Out of Love is a Toto must!

Her eyes light up my life!

Another great reaction!! Love this song. I have a special request I know y'all will love. Please consider reacting to Renee by The Lost Boyz. The beat is hard and the song tells a very relatable story about love and death in the ghetto. It would definitely go on your playlist as it has always been on mine. The group has many songs but this is by far my favorite and I believe would be yours too. It also gives you another group to gain many good songs to react to. Thanks for considering a reaction to this song.

Love certainly isn't always on time

Its nice listening too true pros who give a fuck about the product. Top players in the game and they get the top guys too work with them. Dudes can write a song no doubt. Lukather and Jeff Porcaro are straight beasts man and the other members aint too be fucked with either. Session musician bands are wicked. ARS is another great session group.

That guitar solo is brilliant!!

I knew you would recognize this song it was played on radio alot

Ooh, I'd be really shocked if Roseanna wasn't the next song you listened to by them. That's probably their next biggest hit after Africa and is notorious for the shuffle beat played by Jeff Porcaro on drums

Bobby Kimball may have looked like a truck driver, but THAT VOICE, OMFG!

The lead guitarist very underrated Steve Lukather also sings lead on another track called “I won’t hold you back “ you should watch it live from the early 80s

Check out "I'll Supply The Love" his singing is next level on that!

Definitely a classic! Thanks guys.... great reaction as always.

Toto is awesome...not a bad song! You should also check out Colin James - Voodoo Thing...awesome guitar work in that song too!

couple hits from them and that is it but allways is good to hear toto tnx

Leo Moracchioli does an awesome metal version of this and Africa. Should check those out

Two Minutes Til Late Night does a crazy good cover.

Gotta check out Leo Moriacholio doing Toto's Africa. A killer cover, and a rabbit hole all of it's own.

Classic. Their best imo.

If you like this, you should react to Your Love by The Outfield. The beat is similar and the vocals are great, as is the musicianship.

Definitely a classic from 1978 and still a great song!

It's too good to be true

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

These guys have worked with miceal , boz scaggs,and i belueve steely dan

Another Crackn Song - Love This Track

Do Rock and Roll Aint Noise Pollution by ACDC

Come on definitely a classic

Listen to “Georgie Porgy” by Toto

Obviously the next Toto song you GOTTA hit up is Rosanna. OBVIOUSLY.

classic

PLay "Rosanna" by Toto or "99"

The verge of the 80s WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ITS STILL 80s TO YOU LOL

No weakness.

Toto wrote Human Nature Michael Jackson

that's an old but good song.

You should always have Chris wear a solid black shirt so we can see the video.

🤘🏻😎

Hey.. This song was in GTA 3.. wonderful...

👍👍👍👍

All toto songs are good I suggest rosanna

There are live versions even better than the original.

Gotta be Rosanna for your next one
