I'm Hooked | Worship Drummer Reacts to "Doomed (Live at Royal Albert Hall)" by Bring Me The Horizon 

I was the monitor technician and this was by far the best show in my life. The way the chorus hit live was mind blowing. Huge shoutout to my friend who was on the console for the orchestra

I believe there is a BTS video about putting this concert together. The orchestra is a group that mostly does alternative, modern music. The band members worked with the conductor to pull together the orchestra members, the chorus members, and the additional orchestral elements to the songs. Side note, the woman leading the chorus is the wife of the keyboard player of Bring Me, Jordan Fish. He just left the band this year.

The Royal Albert Hall is THE Venue to play at in London, if you are an orchestra or classical musician. Built to commemorate Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's husband) - it's where the PROMS concerts happen in summer, Remembrance Sunday etc amongst many other things - BMTH admitted to feeling honoured to be asked to play there and were awed by it. |The acoustics are freaking amazing in there! I am a classically trained violinist and percussionist who has played in many orchestras and BMTH are my favourite band, so this concert was a dream come true for me - my favourite two worlds collide! You can see the whole concert here on RU-vid and it will give you the background to the concert (to raise money for Teenage Cancer) = that's why there are lots of volunteer younger musicians (many are also BMTH fans). The conductor wrote the classical intros to each song. (A friend of the band). The guys are English, from Sheffield in the midlands. They started out in their teens as a death metal band and have grown so much and now do anything they want - and it all sounds amazing - love love love them! This concert covers the tracks on what was their new album at the time 'That's the spirit' - one of their more mainstream accessible albums too - so please take a listen - I think you'll love it.

Pretty much every song they did live at Royal Albert Hall was incredible. I recommend checking out It Never Ends live at Royal Albert Hall or their newest song, Kool Aid.

As a musician myself, this is why I love watching other musician reacting on a masterpiece like this. You're able to listen and identify carefully each different instruments and how they play an important role in several different parts.

The concert was brought together for a children's cancer trust. The entire concert is insane. they used some orchestra elements in the original album. That's the spirit. Not every song. Think it was a Collab on every level. But amazing. You can see they both enjoyed it muchly. This band never sounds the same,so it's impossible to say,hey this is what the band soinds like. You could do a couple of songs from each album. Deathcore to now. Every genre of rock/metal pop. They did a song with ed Sheeran too. Think I'll subscribe to see where you take this. Bad omens are great too. Just seen them pkay together a few months ago. EPIC. This eas a suprise for the bring me fans, theybhad no clue they were getting the orchestra until they came in stage. Imagine. Wish I'd veen here. British band,from Yorkshire. You can hear his accent in other songs from this gig. Its unmistakable. Yorkshire lass myself 😊

This whole concert has a special place in my heart. And having played in symphonic bands/orchestras myself, your reaction and appreciation of this was so cool to see. I think you would really like their song "Can You Feel My Heart" There's an official music video & also the Royal Albert Hall version. ❤

Thanks for reacting to this. Would love you to react to this concert. Would be cool if you did a reaction to the studio vs live. Ik it would be a longer reaction but i think everyone would enjoy it

This show is a treat every single time. It scratches every itch you could have, then gives you more and scratches them, too.

The Royal Albert Hall is a big concert hall in London. I was there once, but I can't remember what I heard. For more rock music arranged for "classical" instruments, check out Architects live from Abbey Road

This was fantastic! Thanks for the reaction. I can’t wait to hear more from them.

Being one of the people that begged(in my mind) that you'd do Bring Me The Horizon(BMTH), this made my day! 😊❤ Copyright blocks are a problem, I think maybe show that disclaimer right before showing the video or kinda blurring, pausing more helps keep them at a minimum. Do the original video version of 'Can You Feel My Heart' or 'Shadow Moses " (" Sand-pit 🐢" lol) But, yes. This whole concert was top-tier and at the time earned much widespread respect to the band, still resonates to this day. Lead singer is Oliver Sykes(Oli) and he is an incredible vocalist, lyricists and and almost in every other way, it's his vision and ideas. He's genius. The other band members have been there from the beginning (have had 3 others come and go) but those currently are founding members and all best friends. They've had an interesting journey. Sempiternal Post-Human:Survival Horror Both non-skippers imho Glad you're going down BMTH rabbit-hole React to 'Kingslayer' (its in the lyrics) ✌️😇🤟

Sheet music was not composed by the band themselves, but whats really cool is this concert was a charity event one of which was for cancer as oli the lead singers childhood friend at this point had just overcome bone cancer, that would sadly not be the end of that story, Aiden his friend would eventually come to pass due to cancer, and the song titled "I dont know what to say" was a tribute to him. But that being said all the orchestra and choir, as well as the band were not being paid. Everyone was there to support which makes this all the more beautiful, and now years after listening to this concert more than a lot of the studio versions, i've just overcome cancer myself, and this concert and the song "i dont know what to say" were all big inspirations to me!

This complete show is a masterpiece

Happy Song and Shadow Moses should be next from same concert

I’ve been a fan of BMTH for years and finally got to see Doomed live for the first time on the 10th Jan this year, even got a tattoo for it too 😁

Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall in London that was inaugurated in 1871 and renovated around 20 years ago.

I'd say Happy Song from this same venue. It's pretty much perfect in the way it explains why people love heavy music to begin with. Thanks for the reaction and information.

hey man! i'm a huge massive bmth fan so super hyped you reacted to this! if your instrument is primarily drums i would LOVE for you to react to sleep token! their sound deffo isn't for everyone but if you want to just appreciate some INCREDIBLE drum work you need to check out their drummer II !! (they're an anonymous band so his name is literally just two) but he won drumeos drummer of the year last year and he is honestly such an artist with the drums! also i think your perspective on it will super unique because you'll definitely be able to hear the gospel/worship/jazz/funk influences in his playing!! thanks for another great reaction!

Avalanche from this concert is one of favourites

The Plot in You - Take me Away Unplugged will completely captivate you emotionally... Done in an empty university concert hall using hand percussion and acoustics and what not ... This one is so raw.

I believe the orchestra is called Choir Noir and they mostly do more modern/alternative stuff to answer one of your questions! And no, the conductor is not a member of BMTH

I’d do Shadow Moses or Happy Song from the Royal Albert hall concert. Try Ludens, Parasite Eve, Kingslayer, Obey, Can you feel my heart, Throne, Teardrops, Sleepwalking, Lost, Strangers, and everything else. Great band.

you managed to get it together, fella, you are not the only one tearing up a bit. I loved the whole gig, as BTH showed to everyone - we can do it all.

This whole concert was amazing! It was introduced to me a couple of years ago and I believe it was all done as a fund raiser. The collaboration between the Orchestra and BMTH was something else! I am not sure how this came together, but I think the Orchestra leader was a huge BMTH fan. They are British.

Actually this is way different that the studio version and the orchestra parts were written by someone cooperating with the band. This whole concert was in order to donate for cancer and the artists were not paid!Also Bring Me is from England and not just heavy, there first albums went from deathcore to metalcore. Sempiternal is there most famous Album, which includes Can You Feel My Heart (you most probably know that song), bust That’s The Spirit (which doomed is from) and Amo are more kind of a soft pop/rock. Nowadays they are more going back to the heavier stuff, but with EDM. And to Bad Omens, there earlier stuff sounds similar to Sempiternal (of Bring Me) and they were called a rip off. There music is very great and has many layers, they (also) have now some EDM stuff in there as well as chuggy chords and great drums. The singer is very talented in singing and screaming and also produces there own music. Fun Fact: The singer of bad omens actually joined Bring me on a concert earlier this year

Your change in facial expressions right as that hook hit for the first time was amazing 😂 pure joy

I don’t know why you have such a small number of views on this one, I don’t know much about BMTH- I practically watched this video a few years ago and was blown away just like you, I checked out Parasite Eve during the Covid pandemic and was blown away by the fact that it came out before the pandemic 😅. After that I became obsessed with Falling in reverse and now Ren. I know I didn’t keep track, but I thought they have a bigger following. Btw- I agree with you on the Metallica thing 😅

i know you posted this 2 months ago but i randomly stumbled across your channel and i just wanted to say i love your reaction. i love watching people who just enjoy and appreciate music for everything it has to offer. awesome

Love Bring Me the Horizon. I've seen this concert series many times and still get goosebumps every time. Since you are a worship drummer, you need to check out Sleep Token. Their drummer is heavily influenced by gospel drumming along with many other genre type. I suggest starting with either songs, The Summoning or Granite. Thanks for the reaction.

the name of the choir from this show is "CHOIR NOIR". They've made a incredible cover to Architects - Doomsday. Should check! ;)

Yeah you might as well listen to the rest of this performance lol touches the soul

Ludens live in Tokyo is an incredible live performance without orchestra

Simon Dobson, the conductor, composed the overture. I really liked this reaction and you taught me some new vocabulary; I've never seen or heard col legno. Do you know an example of it being used in a piece?

Classical and metal OTP So many Scandinavian orc metal bands show how well they pair.

The orchestra is called The Parallax Orchestra they are sick and have performed with other metal bands

You need a channel discord so I can pick your brain for your opinion of bands that won't do well as RU-vid videos but you might find interesting nonetheless. Great reaction once again. Thanks tek!

Bring me the Horizon is such an enigma in music... Have become my absolute top 5 out... Avalanche was my song from them that helped me a lot thru hard times. They performed it here as well.

BMTH are from England the lead singer Ollie is From Schefield as a drummer you will definitely appreciate Matt Nichols the drummer he is very versatile as BMTH has a very wide and diverse musical range

I dont know if you have done this yet but BMTH and BabyMetal live in Tokyo with Kingslayer. Awesome reaction.

A fantastic concert done in support of the teenage cancer trust. From this concert I would recommend It Never Ends. For newer songs I would recommend their collaboration track with Babymetal, Kingslayer live in Tokyo, which is awesome 😊

Another great band who played there with an Orchestra is Alter Bridge

I need more BMTH lives on this channel.❤

Shadow Moses from the same concert. And please more from BMTH!

This concert is perfection, I honestly didn’t like them years ago with their heavy stuff then got into them with the sempiternal and that’s the spirit albums as I could understand what Ollie was saying and saw myself and my life in the lyrics of the songs with being an ex heroin addict and Ollie used to be addicted to ketamine and both us going through depression and relationship breakdowns they’ve now became one of my 2 favourite bands ( along with electric callboy ), I saw bring me the horizon in their hometown Sheffield in England a couple years ago gone September and they were amazing live, I even got Ollie’s high five hand palm tattoo and BMTH on me fingers with some song and album symbols under the initials, they’ve just became my band now, been clean 21 years gone December with a full time job for 9 years and a 10 year old daughter, turned my life round and these and the fans help keep me on the right path knowing other people have gone through the same and came out the other side for the better, absolutely love this band

Also, if you enjoyed BMTH here, check out 'One day the only butterflies.....' by BMTH featuring Amy Lee (from Evanescence) - a beautiful ballad with a piano background (reminiscent of Ramin Djawadi / Game of Thrones Season 7) Hauntingly beautiful.

Thanks!

The Plot in You (Take me away) suggestion I had has a heavy version too, so you can do your split similiar to the Falling in Reverse reimagines...its SOOOOO different. This one is a really good intro to Landon (singer)... I forgot to mention the violin accompaniment in the unplugged version really changes the song! But the singer's emotion omg the voice cracks in distress during unplugged version. Drug in me kind of hair stand up moment! 🎉🎉🎉

RU-vid tip - The 'K' key is the dedicated key for play/pause

Next best RAH video: Shadow Moses or Happy Song Some good examples of BMTH sans orchestra: Kingslayer, Can You Feel My Heart, Ludens, Drown, Throne, AmEN!

Letter K I believe replaced spacebar

Please reacts Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece of heaven live at LBC

react to drown from this same concert.

Please react to Epica Featuring Floor Jansen: Sancta Terra

they are british

Hey man! Consentrate on your reviews, not everything else!

worship? lol

If you haven’t heard of ABR, and if you’re a drummer, please look up Matt Greiner.

Curious if you’ve ever heard of the Christian metal band August burns red?
