Machine Head - Halo (REACTION!!!) 

That one "beep" noise is a natural harmonic being played in the guitar

"I don't have to agree with anyone to respect how they approach certain things" This right there, if more people were able to see the world like you guys, we'd all live in a happier place! Thank you so much for all the awesome videos and reactions, so much fun seeing you guys enjoying a great song like this and you "outside" perspective on it, really excellent! And again, thank you for being so open minded and seeing the positive wherever you can find it, very inspirational! :)

Since I saw "Machine Head - Halo" I was hoping yor reaction about the middle instrumental section but...never existed 😔 Anyway, I keep loving your metal reacts, the way I can revisit songs that I've heard thousands times through your ears...different ways to see them, from "no prejudice" and open minded. Keep rocking, men!!

Is a shame you had the short radio version, the solo is special. And recommend: Gojira - Silvera

Holy shit, you finally did it! By the way, that "beep" you ask for at 1:20 is the guitar; a natural harmonic, which is a sound produced by lightly touching a string at a certain fret. Now, it is time for you to react to Flesh And The Power It Holds by Death!!!

I might be the only person requesting Clutch, but I'm going to keep pushing it. Clutch is a fascinating band. They've been around since 1993, and are one of the most underrated and unappreciated hard rock bands of all time. Clutch songs are frequently propelled by fuzzy, Sabbath-y, blues-inspired guitar riffs and heavy, driving drum grooves and bass lines. Their songs are a genre-bending hybrid of funk, jazz, metal, hard rock, and blues. Their lead singer, Neil Fallon, sounds like a truck-driving preacher dabbling in history, philosophy, and conspiracy theories. I'd strongly recommend checking out either 'The Regulator' or 'Electric Worry' as being good intro songs to Clutch, but I'd love to see you guys do 'The Regulator' personally.

Machine Head - album: Burn My Eyes. song: None But My Own This song puts you in a coffee grinder, filthy coffee grinder. Ryan you'll love the guitar work, and George you'll love the way the drummer kicks the shit out of the drums.

"Whether or not you agree with something has nothing to do with how well something is written". I wish the internet was fuller with people as clear headed as you. Respect!

This is why I'm subbed to you guys. Clearly, the subject matter of the lyrics is controversial and you (and many of your subs) very well may disagree with said subject matter or point, yet you guys went above and beyond to discuss this, then judge the lyrical quality and musicality rather than ignoring the artist or song for those reasons. Truly, kudos guys. I keep coming back to see you listen to some of my favorite groups and songs as well as discover new stuff.

The high pitch "Beep" is a natural harmonic on the guitar

This song ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to be revisited in it's FULL version. The extended and midsection add so much to it. Imperium is also worth a blast.

Y'all are officially a part of the metal community, the unbiased reaction you guys give everything y'all listen to is awesome if only ever one could just sit back and appreciate music like y'all do the world would be a better place.

The "beep" is a "natural harmonic" where you don't push down on the strings fully, instead you lightly rest them at certain sections so of the string so you just get the "ring" sound which is a note that is produced by the string but is normally just a part of the tone. Dope reaction as always. I normally don't comment cuz I'm a lurking expert but I like to drop knowledge since I play guitar and love to share :-) This is totally one of my favorite songs, glad you finally reacted to this. I don't really have any suggestions since I know you're navigating things and plenty of folks are shouting those. Keep on keeping on.

Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells. You guys will like that one.

LET FREEDOM RING WITH A SHOTGUN BLAST! “Davidian”you gotta do that song.

There's not many Machine Head songs I like, but I LOVE this song!

The whole Blackening album is nasty. Good reaction. Meshuggah - Do Not Look Down After the Burial - Collapse Veil of Maya - Doublespeak

I'm not sure if you guys reacted to a shortened version of this song but I noticed the whole section with the solo was cut out and there was no mention of it in the video. Assuming you did react to the shortened version, I hope you guys will check out the 9 minute version in your own time so you can get the full Halo experience.

This is one of my absolute favorite bands. Really wish you guys would get back to them again soon.

Machine Head - Imperium

The time has arrived for this reaction!

Devin Townsend - Deadhead (live at Royal Albert Hall) Tool - The Pot Pantera - Cemetary Gates

Can't believe I missed this video. This is such an awesome song. Its been really cool watching your guys' transition to become rock and metal fans.

Machine Head posted your rection on their facebook page :)

GHOST - “RATS” (new song introducing Cardinal Copia, the new singers persona) STRAPPING YOUNG LAD - “LOVE?”

Yes - Roundabout

This song. Live. Its fuckin epic. The dual guitar harmony solo is great. I've seen them three times and Machine Head is a great live band.

Shoutout to me!!Im SOO one of'em!! Imonna bask in that glory... ;-PMAN!!! I was listening to MH and was on the forth album in a row when Lost in Vegas popped into my head making me check out youtube for a new video. First one that came up was THIS!! I almost fell out of bed and made me fo my victory dance. So pleasantly suprised!!! I knew Ryan would like the guitars and for you, George, there are a few other song where percussionist, Dave McClain, is INSANE.There's definitely more to listen to from MH before you write them off. You have to look into the songs as a whole. Growing up with Maiden and harmonising guitars, which you find quite alot in MH material also, I love the contrast it brings to the filthy riffs. And the raw vs the delicate....Whoa!!AW man I could go on forever.If you guys dont do anymore Machine Head after this one I will still die happy. But please check them out more on your own so many awesome details and structures in their material it's crazy!Highly recommend the albums Unto the Locust and The Blackening for the most complete musical experience.Big Fat thanx for this video, Guys. It made my evening. Always enjoyable to whatch your stuff. Coolest channel I've found so far!!Peas, Bros.

Rainbow - Stargazer

Gojira - The Art of Dying :) Edit: I love your reactions, I love how open minded you guys are ESPECIALLY for people that believe in God. Keep up the awesome work!

You must listen to Acid Bath - most underrated band ever

'whether or not you agree with something has nothing to do with how well it was written'... love you guys for saying stuff like this!

Really glad that you did this song as I requested it, but you reviewed the wrong version!! This is the "short" 5min version edited for the video instead of the full 9min song from the album :-( The long version is SO much better, it has a better intro, better transitions and an absolutely epic 1min40 guitar solo/duo...

Alice in Chains - Would?

Whenever I hear Machine Head, I think Davidian. That is the closest thing associated with Machine Head. Halo is great, but Davidian is the track to check out from them

Honestly, seeing you guys react to some of my favourite songs is always amazing. This song is one that got me into heavier music. If you're wondering what the high pitched sound is, it's called a 'Natural Harmonic' (NH). It's one of 3 types of harmonics that one can make using a guitar. The NH is made by placing one's finger just above the string (as opposed to pushing down on it) and plucking in very specific places along the string to get a high pitched sound. Depending on which of the special places one chooses, a different pitch is heard. Great examples of other strange harmonics can be found across music, e.g. Killswitch Engage, Veil of Maya (Leeloo), InMe (Single of the Weak), CHON (Perfect Pillow). I'd love to see your reaction to Protest The Hero - Plato's Tripartite or Periphery - 22 Faces, though!

The "beep" is called a natural harmonic on the guitar. When you don't fret the string, but place your finger on it over the fret and pick you can get this sound. It's a similar sound to a guitar "squeal" which is a pinch harmonic, just a different technique. You can get natural harmonics anywhere, but they're usually best at the 5th, 7th and 12th frets.

the sound is a simple harmonic note on a guitar

*In the voice of Craig from South Park* 'If they could react to Fear Factory - Shock' I would be soooo happy.'

That little beeb sound is called a natural harmonic, it’s where the guitarist lightly rests his finger over the fret of the guitar

Death. One song from each album.

That BEEP is just a harmonic on the 5th or 7th fret... ^^

Do some White Zombie, man. More Human than Human, Thunder Kiss '65, Black Sunshine. Really groovy band, you guys would dig them.

I think you guys never thought of this back when you decided to start these videos, but you are turning into some cool metalheads!

You picked the best song to start off with.

Machine Head - Imperium, overtook this song as my favorite machine head song when I was going through their discography..

Machine head - a farewell to arms

its still no DAVIDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!! that's THE machine head song...

Death- Spirit Crusher!!!

The 'beep' you referred to is known as a harmonic. You lightly touch the string in certain locations and pick. You don't fret the note.

Another thing to note is the lead singer plays lead/rythm guitar while doing lead vocals. That always impressed me about them.

The *beep* you're hearing is a natural harmonic on the guitar. Lightly place your hand over the fret, crank the gain (distortion), and strike the string hard. Machine Head does it throughout their catalogue. The Blackening and Burn My Eyes are by far their best albums

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Milk Lizard

Alice In Chains "Would?" -It's 'stay list' great! Ghost "Rats" (the music video) -It has to be the music video! It'd make Michael Jackson proud!

The song was actually written because the school the singer's son was going to at the time was trying to install teacher led mandatory prayer.

You guys listen to these songs the way we all wish our best friends would when we show them a new song that we like haha

death- crystal mountain pls

Pantera cemetery gates song reaction please y'all

“He’s like, ‘this is our call to arms,’ and we’re like ‘okay.’” 😂

Keep on keeping on guys! The fact that you can separate personal beliefs from an objective reaction is why I keep coming back.

Tool - The Pot, you guys won't be disappointed

Faith No More-Midlife Crisis

That high pitched sound on the guitar is called a harmonic. If you touch a string over the fret without actually pressing it down on the fretboard, it will make that sound.

That squeak tweak sound is called a harmonic. Yes it's done on the guitar by just slightly holding your finger over a particular fret. You guys are great. Love the reviews!

Crystal Mountain by Death!!!

I truly respect y'alls objective opinions on Metal.

This is easily my favourite Machine Head song. Bigger than a really big thing that's slightly bigger than that. Also I don't think you've ever heard it until you've heard it being sung by thousands of people live.

do yourselves a favor and see machine head live, one of the best shows you can see!

Strapping young lad´s Love?! or detox.

Pantera - Cemetery Gates Death - Lack of Comprehension Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells Tenacious D - Master Exploder

4,150 comments (4,151 after this)... Wow, gentlemen! You've made some serious headway in a year! Congratulations! That's all I will say on this video. Much respect.

Love what you guys do and your open minds keep it going

The “beep” is a pinch harmonic, where you don’t fully compress the string on certain notes it creates that tonal squeak

Gojira - The Art of Dying

The guitar squeals (pinch harmonics) are so typical Machine Head. That is their unique blend!

I'm commenting before even watching, you guys are gonna break your necks off headbanging. Super hyped!

Death- Crystal Mountain (any song by death would work)

Corrosion of Conformity- Clean my wounds.

That high-pitched sound is a natural harmonic.

I love machine head I've grown up listening to them from my dad which he's a big metal head so am I but I've seen them live one of my most favorite concert I've ever been to

The noise on the guitar you are referencing is known as a natural harmonic. Where an open string is slightly muted at a certain point on the neck of the guitar to only let the bell note come through. The more you know! You guys should check out the band Toehider - Whatever Makes You Feel Superior. Really outstanding track!

Please please Judith of A Perfect Circle!

That "BEEP" is a "pinch harmonic". Zakk Wylde also does them a lot. As you hit the string with the pick, you also touch the string lightly with your thumb (almost like "pinching" the string between the thumb and pick) - this causes a "harmonic" overtone of the note.

Sounds like that beep is a natural harmonic. Touch the string on a guitar right above a certain fret, pluck the note and release and you get a natural harmonic. LOVE when bands throw those in.

Sepultura, Pantera, Machine Head are the main reason that the whole 00's nu metal and their derivatives exist. These guys were pioneers back in the 90's.

Protest The Hero - Mist!

Check out Machine Head's Imperium. Bitchin' groove riffs!

a Pinch harmonic utilizes a vibrato effect on the string. So the harmonic used in this song is a natural harmonic. A natural harmonic is one that can be played on the guitar without any fretted notes. A harmonic is a clear, bell-like tone.

I've been waiting for this!!Knew this would bring a great reaction, the music, lyrics and changes. Thanks for this.

You need to do Davidian from machine head you just have to

Davidian is for sure the track to expose yourselves to when it comes to Machine Head🤘

That high pitch effect is a harmonic on the guitar. Robb Flynn used the 5th fret. Dimebag Darrell from Pantera would depress the whammy bar on his guitar then pick the string on the fret board then immediately hit a harmonic point on the fret board then release the whammy bar to tension the strings again to make the squeal sound.

Strapping Young Lad - Love

Pantera - 5 minutes alone

That noise you're talking about is called a "natural harmonic". It's when you gently lay your finger over certain frets on the guitar. It produces a high pitch of whatever note is being picked.

It's a natural harmonic they keep hitting. Part of Machine Head's signature sound

Decapitated- spheres of madness. The sound in the Riff is called a natural harmonic, it's where you barely push down on the string and it creates a natural harmonic sound that the guitar can make.

Pantera - Domination

The BEEP is a technique called a pinch harmonic. It's where you rub the side of your thumb on the string and the distortion makes a high pitch noise.

I've noticed you guys haven't heard any Fear Factory yet . I strongly recommend it !!!! Try the song shock or obsolete !!!! Also want to say you guys are great , love what you do !!!
