I had no idea!! Tom MacDonald feat. Nova Rockafeller & MadChild "Sober" Reaction 

Greg I swear you are the most sincere reactor on RU-vid. I love how attentive and thoughtful you are. Tom’s verse took SO much courage! Unbelievable vulnerability. I’m so proud of him for turning his life around. HOG4EVER ✌️

That scene when Madchild is laying in bed going through the withdrawals, that hit SO HARD. You could literally feel his pain in that scene

#HOGarmy Tom says everything in the lyrics is true. He isnt proud of it, but hopes he can help someone else with his story.

Tom always keeping 💯 and he has never hidden his past. That is why we love Tom. #HOG Fam ✌🏽

This was such a thoughtful reaction. Appreciate you really listening.

In case didn't know Madchild was top rapper in Canada in Swollen Members. He kicked drugs but became gambling addict. Got connected with Hells Angels and busted smuggling drugs here in tour bus. Check out his song Jackyl my son's fav lol.

Everything Tom sings about himself is true. This was definitely a cleansing song for him. #HangoverGangForever🔥🤘🌟🏆

''Every smile is not a real smile...'' thats hit hard

Hey Brother great reaction. I love this song I can relate to it. I've been in there shoes and I've been sober 11 years now. So thanks for the reaction brother definitely check out Tom Nova and Brandon Hart no good bastards. Take it easy man

🔥🔥🔥 reactions always Now you see how his music helps so many yet people want to still hate 😭💔 Have a Happy and Safe New Year ❤🙏 #HOG4LIFE

You should follow this song with a song from gfbf(girlfriend boyfriend). It is a group Tom and Nova founded before Tom blew up. Song is called "im not well". This is right before Tom went viral.

This song was my introduction to Tom. It hit me hard. My mother was a druggie/alcoholic for all my childhood. She left it all when I was almost 17 to raise my 2yo brother. She never went back to it, and was there with her the whole way helping her in any way I could. She said that it was always a struggle to not go back to it. Every slipup, every time she felt stressed, or anxious, or like she wasn't good enough, she'd feel the urge to take that drink, or find someone to buy a pill off of. But she didn't. We lost her in '17 to COPD.

#hog in the house. Tom is so real..h does these songs to help people and letting you know what he has gone through..great reaction as always #hog forever

Glad you liked it. Please check out Tom and Madchild "D.R.U.G", which is probably the most bragging track Tom ever did and Madchild ft Joey Oz "Leave A Light". Happy New Year! #HangovergangGermany

My 18mo old son was murdered in 2002 and i went to a very dark place i am now over 18yrs yrs sober i feel everything they were saying

Madchild was in "Swollen Members" and later in "Rock Steady Crew". That's where he got his money to fund his coke operation. He's still clean, as far as I know.

This one and Spilt Milk really lays out Tom's past.

❤️💕 HOG

I didn't know if you were going to make it through that one ...it kept getting deeper and deeper, and when you appeared to think it went deep enough, it went further. Great, real, authentic reaction. #HangOverGang

Great reaction Greg!!! #HangOverGang 🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼🔥

Appreciate your thoughtful reaction. Such an amazing song.

Also check out Madchild Times Change where apologizing for what he became. And Painful skies along same

From what I read Nova had wanted to be with him for long time. But he was too messed up to take the step. He not only got sober but his dream girl

That first verse gave me chills, I relate all too well.

#tommacdonald

Love the reactions!!

❤🙏🔥👍

As he says his fans saved him in 2017 2018 when dear rappers hit

Great reaction Greg, as always, thank you!

Just finished most of your tom reactions and now I'm a subscriber. Hope to see you react to My Fans the whole video it's kind of long but I think it's worth it.

I have to say that I really enjoy watching your reviews. You seem like a genuine person and I've subed. #hangovergang

I have been clean since august 4th 2019, I lost my girls October 29th 2020. I haven't touched the drugs again, but every single day I have thought about the drugs and the urge has been really bad. Those demons are pounding on the doors in my head. And I wonder if it ever ends. It is horrible being sad and not being able to leave my house, bc I see kids everywhere, there are times i hear a little girl say mommy and i turn and look.

You should do madchild demons and painful skies. That tells quite a bit more about him.

Greg...seeing you try and understand alcoholism & addiction when it is impossible to do using logic & reason, It is total insanity that seems appropriate while deep in the disease.

Check out blame the rappers. Tom ft Dax. Propaganda is good also

As someone who has been to thousands of meeting over the last 30 plus years I can tell they have been to meetings but the meeting in the video wasn't very realistic... The verses were what would be called drunk or drug a-logs... At a "good meeting" an old timer would have told them "We all know how to get drunk & high, Why don't you tell us about how-what you are doing to stay clean & sober. That said I still love the song.

Greg~ Wanna know what Sad feels like? Nah, wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. We all thought lil Luna would Live. She didn't. Can you do Tom... "Where Were You."

I can't feel sorry for the 3... the had good money and good jobs but CHOOSE to sniff, shot, drink and smoke it away... it was their choice. My brother when I was young, around 6 to 7 years old, was in a motorcycle accident which broke the 2 vertebrae in his neck that the doctors said should have killed him instantly. However, due to an abnormality called cervical ribs, he didn't die. When the doctors finally found the 2 breaks, they told him he would be dead by morning, come morning and he was still alive, that's when the put him in traction drilling 4 holes in his head and told him he would have to remain on his back in traction for around 6 months, then would have to rebuild his muscles and relearn to walk. It was during this time my brother became addicted to pain meds. Years later, I was around 9 or 10, when I walked into the house and found my brother with his head in the gas oven and the pilot was off. My oldest brother had taught me CPR. So after opening windows shutting off the gas and pulling my much older brother close to the fresh air, I administered CPR, and was able to sustain him until my mother came home about 15 minutes after me. He survived, but a few weeks later, when I went down to the basement to do laundry, I must have walked down just after he kicked out the stool, to hang himself. Well still being sjall, but being a tree climbing tomboy. I climbed up his body, and cut him down with a knife I always had. Hen we fell, because I climbed up his body, I landed on top of his chest, which must have compressed his lungs enough that he started coughing and bresthing. Now all that happened before I was anywhere near 11. And yes, he finally got help and kicked his addiction after the hanging attempt. And although it wasn't the last time I would have to give him CPR, it was the last time I had to save him from trying to kill himself. The other times would also occur about a decade later, one shooting and one incident with a downed power line... Now it's for that reason I have a hard time feeling sorry for going to deep partying, cause they have cash...
