Porcupine Tree: Anesthetize (live in Tilburg, Netherlands) - REACTION 

Gavin Harrison is just... goddamn. One of the worlds best drummers. Hands down. Yeah man this is a prog masterpiece. Steven Wilson, the guy wearing no shoes, is a musical genius. His solo work is fantastic too.

"Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" is another masterpiece from this band

For anyone interested, the reason the keyboardist keeps looking over at the drummer is that Gavin is ad libbing all over the goddamn place which is keeping everyone else on their toes.

"This very depressing" Welcome to Porcupine Tree

Nice one! PT is one of my favs. The lead singer Steven Wilson is now on his own and has put out some amazing albums. The drummer (Gavin Harrison) likes to fuck with the keyboard player by throwing in crazy fills randomly. That's the reason for the chuckles in this vid.

Steven Wilson was granted the title “King of Progressive Rock”.

steven wilson reminds me of like an unholy combination of kurt cobain and steve jobs

You should check out Bonnie the Cat. Gavin Harrison rocks the drums in that tune.

Great Porcupine Tree reaction! They are one of my favorite bands. I appreciate you guys that take the time to react to them.

Drummer is sick

Go for Porcupine tree // Arriving somewhere but not here (live)

PT is awesome.

I thought the song was about someone's decent into addiction and then ends with a lost life.

This song was one of those songs that gave me those goosebumps you only get when a song is really special. Absolute masterpiece.

Nice surprise! I think people already informed you on the greatness of Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree so my job is done. You should check out some of his solo work. Steven Wilson - Luminol is a good start (bass orgasm!).

Glad you enjoyed this! Imo Porcupine Tree is one of the best prog bands! Satisfies me while waiting for the next Tool album lmao. The singer, Steven Wilson, worked with and produced for Mikael Akerfeldt and Opeth. Also I suggested the song "Frictional Nevada" by Venetian Snares before but imma bring it up again lol. It's part of an electronic music style partly derived from idm called Breakcore that's based on creative rhythms mostly using very brutal and abrasive drum machines.

You hit drumming rock bottom with gavin. Your journey is over. Hope you are satisfied now.

The greatness is evident....as is Steven Wilson's solo work ( which Porcupine Tree actually is as well ) Here are 2 bands you might like, that you probably haven't heard of ( both prog) Anathema "Thin Air" Riverside "Escalator Shrine"( another band featuring primarily 1 songwriter , Mariusz Duda - singer / bassist- who has collaborated with Steven Wilson)

its the dynamic range of PTs music that gets me. It's extreme, but never comes across as forced, it works every single time

Love this song. My other favorite of theirs is "Stars Die"

BRUH YOU'RE ON A ROLLLLL. I hope you like this song. Its one of my absolute favorites . Edit: ok. So I'm glad you liked it. You're quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers . You have a great knack for breaking down lyrics and really analyzing a song down to the roots. If you don't mind the proggy long songs, try out this song called Celestial Elixir by Haken. That song is unlike anything you've ever heard before. I guarantee it. I was hooked in the first 10 seconds.

11:06 One can not simply interrupt a great Gavin Harrison fill right there. ;-)

I’ve met them, and you’re right, they are just having fun and don’t take it all too seriously. Super cool dudes. But very professional.

Anyone coming late to PT quickly realizes that the music "industry" has stolen 20+ years of enjoyment from them. They gots the chops...vs the decades of wholely forgettable Muzak that "they" saturate the market with.

A masterpiece! Mesmerizing!

Looking forward to this one!

Listen to: Hatesong by Porcupine Tree experimenting with sounds and rhythms....amazing!

First, mahalo for doing this one. To me the song is a commentary on the alienation so many people feel when encountering a world that seems meaningless and superficial to them. Many people respond to such a world with medication, which brings its own issues, and I think this number speaks to that. Btw, the album this is from, "Fear of a Blank Planet" is just brilliant. Again, thanks. I just *love* PT. Oh, and if you do "Falling Back to Earth" by Haken (the studio version), in the last six minutes of the song you will transcend time and space.

@Juniio He wasn't wearing shoes because he needed to be accurate with the pedals.

Possibly the best overanalyzer on RU-vid.

“Trying to think of who this guy reminds me of” maybe Mitch Hedberg? They have similar looks.

Not a song a musical piece by some of prog outstanding musicians brilliant.

I just discovered your channel today, seen most of your videos one after another and are now one of my favorite reactors out there, clever lyric breakdowns and not over the top reactions. You really deserve more subscriptions (and they will come, keep going). I have a suggestion/request, its a band you probably heard about or been asked to react but probably not the most requested song from them. However its my favourite song from them and a nice bridge from all the prog metal you've been hearing and this band. The song is Ashes In Your Mouth by Megadeth. Megadeth is mainly a thrash band like Metallica (guitarplayer/singer/lyricist/leader Dave Mustaine was a founding member of Metallica but was kicked out of the band) but has touched many metal genres in their songs, and Ashes In Your Mouth is probably the proggiest song they have, and IMHO a perfect introduction to the band and their catalogue. Keep going man!

NEVER PAUSE PT ! p.s. you should definitely check out 'Sleep Together' by PT!

Rishloo is prog band worth checking out as well

6:54 - OK, I know I'm like two years late to comment, but still. That verse: I simply am not here No way, I... Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please! When I first heard this song, I heard it "No way I should appear happy".And I think he sings is ambigiously enough that it could be interpreted either way. Anyone else had that "misheard lyrics" moment here?

After seeing your reaction all I could think is......neverrmind!

its a 17 minute song and you had to ask if its prog rock

Gavin fucking Harrison!!

Nice reaction, man! Hoping that you can react to Steven Wilson - The Holy Drinker. So many great moment in that song. Would like to see your feedback on it.

If you have Epilepsy........ Dont watch!

So if I had to pick two bands that should tour together for the perfect show it would be MGLA and Batushka, so if you don't know check out Batushka Yektenyia I. Shit I might have spelt that wrong. You'll get it.

Stratovarius - Father time

Dudeeeee, where’s the type o???????

Protest the hero - harbinger PLSSSS

more soad pls

One thing I really liked about your video is that you made yourself small and the video big. Almost all of the reaction videos make the video they're reacting too small and themselves big. I think you need to stop the music less hold some of your comments so that you, yourself, can stay in the groove of the song more

the beginning of the song sounds sorta like a Radiohead song
