Old Composer Reacts to Coheed and Cambria The Pavilion A Long Way Back | The Decomposer Lounge 

"He's got such a positive presence" Yup, that's Claudio.

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 is a great one.

Coheed is one of those bands that every time I listen to I’m like, “I need to listen to these guys more”

C&C has such a deep catalog. Check out The Crowing, it’s an adventure

So nice to see Zach's bass work get the attention it deserves. Both of the bassists the band has had are absolutely fantastic.

Next up? The Willing Well II: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness

"You look at him and then you hear the voice and you're like 'que'?" oh man, you crack me up, dude. So glad you're back from your vacation! Hope you got out of it what you needed!

Welcome Home is probably their most popular song. It's sick ( do the full version not the music video) In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 is great as well.

Coheed’s my all time favorite band and most influential for me as a musician. You won’t regret doing some more videos of them to get the full grasp of their range as songwriters. They basically ooze classic rock and metal influences from Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy. Obvious songs to check out are Welcome Home, The Final Cut, Dark Sentencer for the heavier side of the band but for more feel good pop-rock anthems like this one check out Feathers and A Favor House Atlantic

The song you were thinking of was Phil Collins - Take Me Home

THIS is what a REAL reaction channel is. All fun no bullshit and so much knowledge and good music and times 🤘🤘🤘

So Claudio, has said that this song is really about him thinking about quitting the band. You talking about then the guitar he started with comes back in the middle and suddenly it explains the story so much more. The hardcore coheed fans love them a story let me tell you, as a hardcore fan thank you for this perspective.

Such an underrated band. One of my favorites of all time! Gotta do their hit "Welcome Home" and epic banger "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3!"

It is worth mentioning that these guys are absolutely insane to see live. Their performances are.. something else. Fantastic.

In keeping secrets of silent earth 3 is hands down my FAVORITE song of theirs. But literally every song is phenomenal. You won't be disappointed, regardless of the song you pick.

Coheed and Cambria - In keeping Secrets of Silent Earth

I know that everyone is probably suggesting Coheed’s “Welcome Home” but the I’m going to suggest is “No World for Tomorrow”.

Also, if you want to see some range on Claudio's voice, check out "The End Complete" off of the album No World For Tomorrow

Song gives me goosebumps. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I have been traveling with my family for the last 4 years and this song has become our unofficial theme song.

Also, you definitely need to do a deep dive on your own of Coheed. It is a band with a lot of cool history and their work has a fictional story attached to it that plays out abstractly in the lyrics. Gotta listen to songs in order, in a lot of cases, to truly vibe.

The entire from fear through the eyes of madness album really. The willing well 1-4, THE CROWING, Sentry the Defiant, Gravity's Union, Mother Superior. Dude. You can't go wrong. Every album is gold.

I love seeing you geek out, this band is truly incredible. One neat thing I'd like to mention is that all of their albums except for one are concept albums based in a sci-fi universe created by the lead singer, Claudio. The lyrics are done in such a way that the songs can stand on their own, but are also telling a story. There are graphic novels and comic books that go with it, it's really cool.

Coheed has so many good tracks.... "Domino the Destitute" comes to mind first, but honestly I could recommend dozens of solid tracks from them.

Watching someone gush about Coheed for the first time as much as us long time fans is just... *chef's kiss*

There is an acapella version of "The Gutter" by Coheed thats amazing and shows in a beautiful way just how much goes into a full band version of a song

Screw it, I'm here again. If you do anything else Coheed, do this for us. ;) Listen to all of The Willing Well series from the album Good Apollo 1.

I love this band. Love to listen on long car rides... they just take you on a journey

I’m not sure why but “island” off color before the sun gets me every time. Can’t forget “feathers” from no world either. Oldie but a goodie. And “2’s my favorite 1” from aftermath. So much good stuff

Hey Geebz! Someone else already suggested in the comments, but definitely check out 'The Crowing' and 'Everything Evil'. Both are classics!

FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for you to experience this band for a while now. I’m so happy you got goosebumps. This band has been with me through some of my highest highs and lowest lows. The early stuff is dark lyrically but delivered in an upbeat way.”Welcome Home” is a super powered track you really need to hear, “In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3” is great. “Mother Superior” is another awesome track. I could go on and on. Really hope to get you see you explore their library more. Thank you!

Coheed is one of my favorites of all time. My three year old’s middle name is Amory.

I can’t describe how happy I am you are doing Coheed. My all time favorites! I would recommend In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 next.

Love me some Coheed! The opening riff always reminds me of "everybody wants to rule the world" 😆 Geebz, you gotta do "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3" or The Crowing", pretty please!!! Mahalo!!! ETA: ooh, you're gonna love the last chorus of the crowing (if you listen to it) with all the layers musically and lyrically!!! ETA part 2: finishing this video, hearing what you said about bass playing... as a bass player, you'll love the bass line in IKSSE3 (in keeping secrets....)!!!

Man, I still remember almost twenty years ago now the time when myself and some friends drove down from college one weekend to see one of our other friends who lived in Rockland County, New York. Second night there he asks if we want to go to a show downtown where some guys he knows are headlining. Needless to say, we went, and 'those guys' were a young coheed and cambria (who I had never heard of at the time) doing a local promotion for the upcoming release of their first studio album -- and it was insane. small, single floor venue, high school choir style risers for a stage, and Claudio's entire family (from grandmother down to four or five year olds) were right up front going crazy, singing along with him. Good times.

I got to see Coheed live once at the House of Blues in Cleveland, and they put on a great show! Claudio (the singer+guitarist) is such a cool guy and his vocal performance was just incredible. All of them were great, of course, but he really stood out to me. If I could recommend a band, one of my long-time favorites is Sylosis, a thrash/death metal band from Reading, England. They do excellent work, and in particular are notable for the incredible riff writing of Josh Middleton, who does the vocals and co-lead guitar, as well as the fact that, until their latest album, all their songs used guitars tuned to E Standard, which is highly unusual in modern metal. I struggle to recommend just a single song from them, so instead, I'll give you a song from each album and you can pick the one you think is the most interesting :) Album - Song - Year - Notes - link Cycle of Suffering - I Sever - 2020 - Only song I've listed tuned to D Standard instead of E, includes my favorite vocal performance in this list - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dZDd-MwuvcM.html Dormant Heart - Servitude - 2015 - Manages to get some interesting perception of speed despite its tempo - the part of the song that feels slowest is at quarter=128 and the rest is at quarter=126 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9_RT0G4wWKg.html Monolith - A Dying Vine - 2012 - Probably the song I've listened to the most times on this list, main riff is blazing fast and the vocals that accompany it are very quick as well, which is all the more impressive when considering that they're done by the same person at the same time. Changes significantly over its duration, particularly in emotion. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Uol-vZNAt4.html Edge of the Earth - Procession - 2011 - Strongest "groove" out of this list, and has my favorite intro and main riff in the list as well - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Iz6xlrLKd4M.html Conclusion of an Age - Last Remaining Light - 2008 - From before Josh took over the vocal role; in my opinion the old vocalist wasn't as good as him, so I don't listen to this album much, but the solos in this song are amazing and I still find it a joy to listen to. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hMARq1y0PvY.html

2:11 That look when you first hear Claudio's voice and match it up with his actual head. That reaction alone made the video!

The Dark Sentencer is the song you should be doing. Chicken skin inbound

One of my longest run bands. Right alongside Tool. Glad you got to Coheed I can't think of a specific song for this band since I love 90% of their discography. The Pavillion is a newer song. If I had to pick, go for the one below. Is from 2005 and now considered an older song but it is a random great listen. The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth. Yes, that is one song name, haha. Bass player is a different guy but this is one of my favorite of his bass songs.

Coheed has so many great songs that I keep coming back to, but my favorite has to be Gravity's Union. A bit proggier and darker in tone than the song you listened to today, but it's a really beautiful track. And it caps off an absolutely killer A-side if you're listening to the full album.

I suggested them to you like 900 times haha thanks reacting to them! Each song is like a different genre. Some are ballads, some are poppy, and others melt your face off. All of the albums, aside from one, go with a graphic novel the lead singer created. I hope you dive deep into their discography because they truly are incredible and are one of my favorite bands!

Incredibly under-rated and originally unique band. Next up by Coheed - Welcome Home. It's a deep dive going into the Coheed waters but you will enjoy it.

About this time last year I suffered respiratory failure as a result of an auto-immune condition I have. I was unconscious for 2 days, and when I woke up, the first thing I wanted to do to get my mind off the tubes in my throat was listen to music. I threw in my earbuds and this was the first song that played. Something about the hopefulness of this song has stuck with me. Coheed and Cambria has always been my favorite band, but that experience really changed how I feel about their music. Thanks for giving these guys a listen. They're criminally underappreciated, especially their more recent work such as this.

Love Coheed!! Feathers The Road and the Damned The Light & The Glass

I've been obsessed with this song since I've heard it. Popping up in my head out of nowhere and I have to listen to it again. Yes, I get "chicken skin" still!

My favorite band! I was hoping you'd react to them at some point. I'm thinking you'd really enjoy Welcome Home. The Dark Sentencer from their newest album is an absolute banger as well.

I'm so stoked to see you decompose one of my favorite bands, they're all so incredibly talented and I love seeing people's reaction when Claudio starts to sing because his voice is so magical.

Underappreciated and underrated for sure. They need more exposure... thank you

So happy to see you diving into Coheed and Cambria, such a huge part of the evolution of my own musical tastes back in the day. Check out Gravity's Union!

Welcome Home is by far their most successful and popular song (for good reason I think TBH). The Dark Sentencer is probably what I would recommend for more complexity and the song by them I listen to most.

So glad you're getting into Coheed and Cambria, man. Great music. One I'd like to see you check out by them is "Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant." Great, heavy hitting track.

they are for me the most creative band. seeing them live was beautiful. the have a song that was created solo to be live "the dark sentencer" when you listen to it youll know what i mean by created to be live

"Take, take me home. 'cause I don't remember!" haha Love Phil Collins and Coheed and Cambria.

Dude, I've grown up listening to them since they came out! I've seen them live multiple times but this song literally brought tears to my eyes. I have never heard it before but I've been following your channel and you brought me back to a band from my generation.

Coheed is by far my favorite band I’m glad you did them

This band has forever changed my life since I first heard them in 2003. Seen them live more times than I can count, and they are just as phenomenal live as they are on their albums. They are the real deal allll the time.

Everyone talking about what to listen to next, "The Pavilion" is about life, it's fleeting while asking us what is "real".

Wow, thanks to whoever suggested this. I haven't listened to Coheed in forever, and never even heard this masterpiece.

"In keeping secrets of quiet earth 3" and "welcome home" are my 2 absolute favorite songs from them.

Driving full speed through the desert with the sun setting is Coheed and Cambria's motto!

This is the favorite band of people who are in bands, and know about music. The musicianship in Coheed is second to none.

Do glad to see Coheed getting some love. Welcome home is probably their most well known song. They have a deep catalog to check out though

Mister Geebz I humbly request that you listen to the track Swim To The Moon by Between The Buried And Me.

I was in a 4piece (percussion Gang) on a misguided tour through downstate NY(finger lakes area) from Illinois, spent a month out there playing phonebooths and senior centers. Found out I'm good at the music, bad at The Life. This song played in my headphones a LOT of the time.

Gravity’s Union is one of my favorites. It just has such a great buildup to a huge climatic outro.

Coheed and Cambria, probably one of my most favorite bands ever. I know you have reacted to Tool a lot. Also amazing. But Claudio. His voice is something else.

The Sword "How heavy this axe" sweet video to go along!

I love how much love you give to the bass player, Zach Cooper. He was a full time bass teacher before he joined the band 10yrs ago! Amazing band. ❤️

One of my absolute fav Coheed songs. Give me chills every time. My daughter who is 4 years old loves it and sings along to it as well :)

True story of personal tragedy here: in 2006, my wife and I went to see Pittsburgh for a concert. It was Avenged Sevenfold and some other band we didn't know of at the time. After we got thoroughly rocked by A7X, a band called Coheed and Cambria came out...and we left...because we had no idea who they were. Now, 15 years later, that decision to leave still haunts me because Coheed is among my favorite bands of all time. Just thought I'd share my tale of woe 😂

You really have to check out The Dear Hunter's "A night in the town" one of the most unique sounding bands I've ever heard

Oh my God!!! He's getting into Coheed more!!? Let's make him "One of the Fence." One of us!! One of us!!

OH MAN, WHERE TO START. its all good, each album has its own flavor and you can hear Claudio and the band mature as songwriters and performers. you can pick any album and find something to love in it.

You’ve already received a ton of great recommendations for songs, so I’d like to suggest a few tracks that I haven’t seen mentioned. “Mother Superior” is a fantastic track, it has tons of depth, from their No World for Tomorrow album. There’s also a live/acoustic version here on RU-vid that might have been filmed inside a Guitar Center or something. “Domino the Destitute” from part one of Afterman is another one I’d highly recommend. It has a music video her on RU-vid that would allow for another great video like this one. I loved this reaction! Keep up the great work.

I'm so glad you did Coheed! Hour for hour I have listened to them more than any other band. Listen to a track or two from each album, they have such range and creativity 💚🔥

For more Coheed I recommend any of the willing well songs but part two is my favorite of them. Faint of hearts, and mother superior are amazing

Please keep going down the rabbit hole with Coheed & Cambria. So much great music.

What a nice choice to go on with Coheed and Cambria! The vibe is so positive, even on stage. More and more there is such a tension opening your channel with the question "What will he do next?!" - and very often it feels so crystal clear and obvious. Thanks for that journey!

Oh snap, I’m so psyched you played them! I’ve been meaning to recommend them for a while now. My initial suggestion is No World For Tomorrow. Has some solid syncopation and leans on their more progressive metal side. They’ve been my favorite band for over a decade now. Enjoy them, and much love!

this is their interpretation of a song like faithfully and I couldn't be more blown away whenever I hear it

I feel like I've missed out on so much more that this band was giving. I was there for their 2002 and 2003 albums but then i stepped away. I'm glad I'm finding them again.

The Sword "Under the boughs" or " Iron swan" or any other song they ever recorded.

Incubus and C&C in the same day! Great day!

Welcome Home is a GREAT song by Coheed and Cambria

Such a fun song to sing

Claudio has one of the most distinct voices out of anyone in his genre, same as you can tell Howard Jones or David Draiman on a record. I swear you've got a straight line in to my music profiles Geebz. Love seeing how quick your channel is growing, so glad the algorithm brought me here.

Do Coheed’s A Favor House Atlantic

The light and the glass by coheed and cambria By far one of the best songs vocally and musically

I don't know what I love more: the super sharp commentary or the joy of getting to see someone hear Claudio for the first time

other coheed songs Id suggest: The Crowing, Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute, The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. So much of the Coheed catalog is mind blowing. Seeing them live is like experiencing a musical enlightenment.

Damn it, I wish you would've started with one of their bangers.... delirium trigger for starters.

The Light & The Glass, 2113, The Road and the Damned and Made out of Nothing - those will give you chills

Please do more Coheed & Cambria songs!! I came across your channel through this video and fell into a stellar rabbit hole watching so many of your videos lol

When it comes to Coheed and Cambria you can't go wrong with Blood Red Summer or The Suffering. One of the bands I found through my love of Fearless Vampire Killers ;;

Coheed has coffee out. I wanna try it when I have some extra cash

Literally put on any coheed song and you'll have pretty much this amazing sense of just pure gold. My favorite band in the world.

coheed and cambria will go down as one of the greatest bands of all time.

Nice. Now you need to finally listen to Pain of Salvation.

If you want to stick with this album, do “All On Fire” :)

I've been lucky enough to see them 3 times, and I will see them every time they play my city or remotely close

As soon as I saw the title I clicked straight away to see the reaction to that voice. Lol
