Music Teacher REACTS TO Coheed and Cambria "Welcome Home" (Live) | MUSIC SHED EP 139 

Coheed & Cambria is a deep well. This song is a radio favorite but doesn't quite capture how... odd... the group can be in their more adventurous songs. My father once described them as Rush's modern inheritors, which I think is fairly accurate.

When I met Claudio, he let me smell his hair. Haven't picked my nose since that day.

Coheed definitely deserves a 5 BY. They have such a diverse catalogue. Pop songs, metal songs, prog rock, beautiful ballads ..whatever you want. They get overlooked way too often.

my youngest daughter is named Cambria for this band! 🖤🎶🤘💗

Last time I came this early, I became a dad

They're a trip, man. The lore behind the music is deep. Claudio is a bit of a renaissance man.

Claudio is such a badass. Yes, that hair, we know, yes.

The only way to truly understand Coheed & Cambria is to personally sit down and digest each of their albums. Their sound has evolved so organically over the years and each album has its own distinct flavor. I don’t know how else to explain them to people

They played this song in Kalamazoo MI close to 10 years ago with a lightening storm in the background. We had to wait over an hour for the rain to pass, but once we got back into it…good lordy, what a way to end the show. Powerful song; powerful backdrop. An experience I’ll never forget

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 is my absolute favorite from Coheed give it a listen if you can.

"The Crowing" by them is a masterpiece.

I don't think later fans of the band realize how hard Welcome Home hit the first time it was ever dropped. They had a countdown on what was basically a single page website, then once it ran out, the site switched to the "IV" and it started playing. Kids today may think that sounds lame, but back then it was cool as hell. They did the same for IKSSE3 but something about GA1 really solidified this band for me. Not to mention getting the record the friday before it came out officially. Man, those were some great times in my life!

This is another band that needs a 5by their style is so diverse that a 5by would be amazing

Ive actually met and talked with Josh Eppard (the drummer). He is a very down to earth guy. We had a nice conversation about baseball right after a show and he did a great job of not letting me get too starstruck

PLEASE, PLEASE do more Coheed! They have so many amazing songs that span so many different types of music. Ballads, heavy, fun/more poppy songs, progressive rock-leaning songs. They have everything, and they’re all amazing.

As a fairly dedicated “Shed head” I’ve been waiting for Coheed for awhile now. Thanks!

Legit my hometime hero band. Being from Rockland NY seeing them locally and evolve into what they are now makes me extremely happy and proud. The 1st show i saw of theirs the ticket was Co&Ca (Cobalt and Cadmium) I cant believe i lost that ticket smh

Josh Eppard is the drummer and he is indeed a badass. Fun Fact: He's also a rapper

One of the most underrated bands from the 2000s. The band has matured with each album and still recording GEMS today!!

This band is the reason I started playing guitar and drums almost 14 years ago, they will forever be my favourite band and biggest musical inspiration by far!

I appreciate that every time you unpause, the track is rewound like 5 seconds. And man this song is legendary. The crown jewel of a magnum opus album.

One of my favorite bands ever. My wife and I named one of our daughters Cambria.

OMMMMGGGGG Coheed is the best band everrr I never thought I'd get to see you react to them! (best being subjective, of course, but they are my favorite band)

I myself have never made a single comment on RU-vid, but I will for this. I agree coheed deserves a 5by. Look into the history of the band and the progression. This band has a cult following much like dance Gavin dance. They are worth checking out. The band even has a live acappella version of “the gutter” if you want to see just how good Claudio’s vocals are. Much respect for what you do and I hope this comment finds you well.

Travis Stever, the guitarist who did the singing at the very end, also wrote the lyrics for their song "Ten Speed of God's Blood and Burial" and delivers background vocals often. He's had other bands including Fire Deuce and Davenport Cabinet where you can hear him sing.

If you look close you see how Claudio vocalizes "ooowwaaa" to his solo licks, and I love it.

You really should listen to this whole album in order, if I recall correctly they basically wrote it like a comic book and made the songs fit the story. Very artistic group.

Claudio's range is even higher. I don't know where it stopped at but I know the first handful of albums were concept albums telling a story and he would sing from the pov of three different characters, with different voices and ranges for them.

Coheed has been my favorite band since I was in high school, way back in 03. This is one of those bands you can enjoy at a surface level, or get lost in the lore. With the exception of one album, every album takes place in a large sci-fi universe. Early on, there were comic books that helped build upon the story. Now, it’s graphic novels. Every song tells another part of the story. Getting deeper into the story really does it for me, and really cements this band as my favorite band of all time. If you do another coheed song, I cast my vote for In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1uYsu13XGgM.html In second place is a band you’ve come to enjoy: dance Gavin dance; and in third place is one I don’t believe you’ve reacted to yet: the dear hunter. I’d love to see a reaction to one of TDH’s songs, A Night on the Town. What a musical, cinematic masterpiece ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BVjcsgrDErE.html

Claudio has the rare talent of being able to sing live. So many bands and people can’t even get close to how it sounds on the album. It sounds a little different, but he is spot on with how it was recorded

This is my favorite band ever, ive seen this live many times I have Coheed tattoos and I still got chills watching that intro again.

I loved that you zeroed in on his singing right away. Vocal legend.

I know this is a 2-year-old video but this is one of my favorite bands of all time. And the reason he enunciates his words so much is because all of the albums are interconnected and tell a story. And there's also graphic novels to accompany the music and tell the story. My husband and I named our daughter Cambria and was born to their song "in keeping secrets" 😊✌️ and what's even more crazier is that these guys know nothing about theory 😮

Fantastic reaction! I'm glad you enjoyed Welcome Home, and I'd love to see you react to some more Coheed! They currently have nine albums spanning the last 20 years, so this song (while great, and one of their most popular) is only really a snippet of their wider sound, so I think there would definitely be more you might enjoy! I found your channel less than a week ago when one of your vids was on my recommended, and since then I've been jumping back when I've had the time because I really enjoyed the analysis and opinions you were offering - not to mention you just have an extremely cool and fun energy that's entertaining to watch. And wouldn't you know, I come back to your channel again only to see you've posted a vid on one of my ALL TIME favourite bands!! That sold me on subscribing! Gonna check out more of your older vids, but I look forward to everything you have planned going forward :)

Even tho this was live you need to see them in concert when they feed off the crowd as well. They go even harder, this is probably the best band I've seen live and everytime i am in Awe at what they do. Love Coheed soo much.

Go see them live. They’re touring right now!

Hopped on to write it again: "Please react to Spiritbox - The Mara Effect"

As a casual spelunker of music theory, I thank you. This was so easy to soak up and great information. The drums when he goes off beat is something I always loved but couldn't figure what had changed in my headphones. I would love a weekly online class/sesh

Saw him alone live with Thrice, and Thursday. He sat on the stage playing acoustic because I believe the band wasn’t feeling well, and he rocked that acoustic guitar!

These guys were amazing live. Claudio’s hair is even more epic in person. They have also done graphic novels to go along with their albums. The whole thing is a storyline. Phenomenal stuff. Just massively creative. Also, the drummer’s brother, Joey Eppard, has a band named 3. They have an album called Wake Pig which is just epic. You’d love it. Take a dive!!

Coheee and Cambria is my favorite band of all time. I’ve been a fan since the Shibuti days…hell earlier.

The drummer Josh is also a great rapper who goes by "Werd Science". Great stuff all around. I was blown away in 2002 when Coheed played their first tour. Been addicted ever since.

My favorite band. I’ve seen them three times. All their albums are about a big sci-fi story that’s also in the comic series the singer/guitarist writes.

Vocalist gives me goosebumps everytime! You can hear he sings with passion

I was on a trip in Cuba 15 year ago. After 2 weeks without TV I was in a Hotel in Santiago de Cuba. I just found MTV on the channel list and for the first time the song "The Suffering" was on. This guys are simply amazing! One of the best band ever!

Coheed has been my favorite band since I was 15 back in 2003. Please cover more of them because their discography is so diverse, you can get a different flavor with each song

Josh Eppard (drummer) is the original drummer for this band. Early on, developed an addiction, left the band for like 9 years. Got sober, came back and is such a badass. Better than ever.

Coheed does have a video on here, of a live performance, of this song, with a full ensemble. In case you're curious

Their acoustic "here we are juggernaut" during the Taylor Guitars set is incredible.

Everyone should go watch the video of this song played live during a lighting storm. It's awesome.

I love this band, and this is the song that I found them through in 2014, been a big fan since.

Queen of the Dark by Coheed is nice, and The Gutter is killerrrr

Someone needs to let David in on the fact alot of thier music revolves around Claudio's comic and novel series. Thier music is so deep due to this.

Please please explore more of this band!! They are spectacular and have such a range in their catalog. Some great next picks might be The Crowing, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth III, Gravity’s Union, or Sentry the Defiant. Such an amazing band with a really interesting story woven into most of their albums.

First off Claudio's Hair is it's own rockstar, that said I have been a HUGE Coheed fan since 07, have had the pleasure of seeing them live 3x, one of this three times I helped build the stage....for my favorite band. Love welcome home, but honestly is on the bland side of coheeds catalog.... one song that I love now cause I didn't care for it by the original artist is Hello covered by Claudio, it give you a true sense to just how amazing of voice he has..... with coheed you need to just dive in and go on a ride, the are what Led Zeppelin is to me and that is definitely God's of Rock.. Claudio is such a great Writer, Producer, Composer, all while giving his band mates the complete freedom to express themselves... I'm no musician but I love how they can sound soooo off beat but be soooo perfectly on time, and that sound is what drew me in. They are AMAZING!!!

I love seeing coheed live Claudio busted a string and literally shredded a solo while restringing the damn guitar dudes are beast

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS COHEED!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR FINALLY CHECKING THEM OUT!

OMGGGG YESSS WE NEED MORE COHEED!

They became my favorite band when I met them 12-13 years ago ... I still love them the same. They are amazing

Speaking on Claudio’s hair: I’ve seen them live several times and this man with, in the middle of a song and with one hand, go from epic main to perfect pony tail in .3 seconds.

This band desperately needs a 5 by its basically Rush for Millennials, in the best way possible.

I am so stoked you're listening to Co&Ca. Easily my favorite band of all time.

Love coheed so much, I'll recommend you to listen to; The hard sell, Gravity's union, or Time consumer. In all Honestly though all of their songs are great.

Claudio Sanchez - Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar Travis Stever - Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals Zach Cooper - Bass Josh Eppard - Drums Love Coheed to death! Everything they've done is great.

Coheed is one of my top 5 bands and Welcome Home live never disappoints. Seeing it live, they tend to take different directions, including a dueling guitars thing at times.

One of the first good songs I ever learned and performed in high school.... good times and that solo was sick to learn

Man this whole guitar center session was absolute fire

Right on, Teach! Yeah, I first heard Coheed in 2005, while I was getting a half-sleeve tattoo on a Saturday Morning. I stopped the artist and said, "OMG! WHo is this band? They are fantastic". So they turned it up louder than it already was, and we enjoyed this CD twice-over for the next few hours. Claudio is insanely great at what he does. You nailed when you talked about his style and presentation. He is the most honest performer I've ever seen. That is what makes him so damn good. From his songwriting, production and phrasing, to his look, vocals, and guitar playing. He is 100% the real deal...and I can feel it! If you ever get a chance to see them live, do so!!!

This is my all time favorite band. I’ve seen them 19 times.

People will give you shit at a show if they ask you what your favorite song is and you answer: Welcome Home. But deep down this is everyones favorite song. Thats why its played every show i been to at the end 8 times now over 10 years.

I've seen them twice live. They are a really good show to see. When they first came out a lot of people were surprised with Claudio's voice as a lot of the first singles he was singing in a falsetto.

Been a fan for over 20 years This song still gives me butterflies. Their discography is so diverse and I love every aspect of it. This is a great song but I don’t think it defines the band. From Fear through the eyes of madness is my personal favorite :)

The musicianship and talent of this band is incredible. You don't have to like the genre to appreciate them.

Brilliant band.

I only know a handful of Coheed songs but this live performance is a video I watch pretty consistently. Glad you enjoyed it!

Coheed is one of the greatest. I discovered them late, but I love everything they've ever put out. They weirdly started as a post-hardcore in the vein of At The Drive-In, had a few bangers that hit with the emo crowd, ect

I think their song "the suffering" is a good groovy one you could check out in the future! Also just wanted to add this as a side note for a possible video in the future. I'm hoping that you can give a chance to check out a band called Holding Absence 🙏 They have a new record out called "The greatest mistake of my life." It's an album about self worth and dealing with hard times in life and I think it's worthy of a listen. A song I would recommend for you to listen to off the record is called "Celebration Song." That song is about celebrating life and being alive even after losing so much. It also has a very anthemic sound to it and it makes you feel powerful 😭

will always consider coheed my favorite band of all time. started listening when i was like 11

So great watching people react to and find coheed for the first time.

A very special band. Honestly.

Coheed was such a HUGE part of my High School years. Their music really formed what I listen to now as a 30 year old.

OH MY GOSH YES! THANK YOU!! Related to Coheed being a bit more of a heavy kind of band, I feel it should be said their sound has changed over the years. I don't really think they're "hard rock" as much anymore, but they're still absolutely amazing (to me).

BRO youre not gonna see this but youre reaction to literally everything i love. This is so dope idk whos been reccomending you for the past few months but this is it i love it lmao

Let us just sit back, man our jackhammers and enjoy this guys first glimpse into C&C.

in live performances, the middle of Welcome Home's solo segment is usually different. but as a wee lad, what made this song so memorable was that the entire solo sounded like a battle. Travis would start, then Claudio, back to Travis, etc. it sounded like they were battling it out without overdoing it. amazing song, amazing band all around.

Definitely my favorite band to introduce people to is coheed and Cambria they’re such a fluent diverse group

If you want to know how much us Coheed fans consume their content… just look at the views on this video compared to some of your others. They are criminally under appreciated. Thanks for reacting to this!!

This album is all killer no filler from front to back. One of my all time favorite albums.

YAAAAS! you finally did Coheed! so glad you did this. Welcome home is by far their most popular song, thanks to the radio and the movie industry but they have some way more intricate music. They are my fav fav favorite band in the world. Claudio is a musical genius, and the band is simply epic! Would be cool to see you do more of their stuff. They are worth doing a 5by for sure!!! Thanks for you insight and reaction as always David. BTW all their albums except for one are concept albums portraying their comic book series, called, The Amory Wars!

It’s got a ZEPPELIN feel doesn’t it?? Beautiful!!!

That wooah at the end was brilliant from the guitarist

He sang this lower than on the recording and honestly I think I like it better this way

Alright now do Window of the Waking Mind, you’ll love that one even more

Coheed is my favorite band. Hands down.

There whole newest album is worth the story and sound

A friend of mine recommended this band to be back in the early 2000's. I walked down to my local record store and picked up a copy of IKSSE3. One day I was on the bus on my way to band practice and was listening to it in my headphones. As soon as I was less then halfway through the opening title track my mind was absolutely shattered. They have been one of my favorite bands ever since and I even have the Keywork logo tattooed on my upper back.

Eppard is one of the best drummers to walk this whole earth.

As a long time Coheed and Cambria fan, all I got to say that their music is a beautiful and deep well. So much variety in styles and depth of lyrics. The whole team is just so talented. Each album is a treat in it's own right.

DGD fan boy here…. What you are talking about with the vocals and the enunciating reminds me so much of watching Jon Mess so much, so true

David's impressed by the "dude just wearing a polo". Someone introduce him to August Burns Red; one of the least "metal" looking metal bands around. I'd recommend Majoring in the Minors or Everlasting Ending to keep the prog party going.
