Porcupine Tree - Cheating The Polygraph (Reaction) Gavin Harrison is a MONSTER!  

Porcupine Tree is the single most underrated band of all time and I absolutely mean that.

Richard Barbieri--the guy on the keyboards--is one of the best parts of this band. His soundscapes are incredible and are both pronounced and subtle at the same time.

You guys should check out Gavin Harrison's Guitar Center Sessions where he plays Porcupine Tree's 'Bonnie the Cat' and 'The Sound of Muzak'

The Start of Something Beautiful live in Chicago😉 So good seeing you guys reacting to Porcupine Tree again 👍

I listen to Prog Rock for nearly 45 ears and this is one of the most impressive musics i've ever heard.

Everyone's great. Gotta give a special shout-out to Richard Barbieri behind the keyboard/synthesizers though. Dude is the bread and butter of this band. I've been recommending 'Deadwing', but now I'm like... There's so many others: 'Trains' live in Chicago, 'So Called Friend' from same show, (Gavin does some illegal sh!t here) and 'Time Flies' from Octane Twisted. The amount of avenues you can travel with this band is crazy. P.S. Karnivool - Deadman awaits 😁🤘

Take a ride with “My Ashes”. John Weseleys voice will astound you Then add Drown With Me too the mix. These guys never disappoint. You could take their worst song and match it up to anyone out there. Thx guys appreciate your emotion and reaction.

I've missed you guys doing Porcupine Tree. Great reaction, as always!

I couldn't click on a video fast enough... I remember commenting that you guys check out this song on another PT video a few months ago. This track has to be nearly all of PT's elements mashed into one, like a shorter version of Anesthetize. Great reaction as always, I can tell how much Gavin hypes you guys up! GAME OVER!! Edit: PT Round 7: "Open Car" from Arriving Somewhere Live in Chicago

Glad you guys got back to some PT. I would highly recommend 'Russia on Ice' studio version next. It's 90's Porcupine tree , when their sound was a lot more spacey ,psychedelic rock and very floydy. But Russia on Ice is a killer track. One of their many great epics.

Listen Porcupine tree - mother and child divided. That’s awesome!

Absolutely Fantastic Song!!!

YES FINALLY! I though you guys would never do another PT reaction ! Next one could be "Half Light" if you want to cry

I’d like to see one of these next The start of something beautiful Dark Matter (live) Buying new soul Sleep of no dreaming (live) They’re all incredible songs and you guys won’t regret any of them

Gavin polyrhythms - damn!!! During the guitar solo he plays 2/4 on the bell and 3 on the snare. And to top it off he throws in multiple flams to f^*k your mind even more 🥰🥰🥰

Check out The Pineapple Thief , “The Final thing on my mind” Gavin on drums , the live version is amazing 👍

you guys should try "What happens now?" from that concert. So good drumming in there! cheers!

These guys are amazing. AND they nailed every note at live performances i went to - these guys are perfect musicians.

Love your channel, you guys rock it. And appreciate Gavin the Great!!!

The recorded version of this song is like next level! Gavin went ham on the recorded version. Probably one of the top five songs of Porcupine Tree of all time.

I can tell by watching you guys that music is in your soul. You are both awesome and her emotions are incredibly beautiful. Hope that makes sense

Couldn't agree more, it's an experience, an amazing one, each and every song.

The audio in this video is exellent! Love this band. Great upload guys!!! 💯✌🙂

Yay more Porcupine Tree. Check out some of Steven Wilson's solo work too

Porcupine Tree are back making music! You have to react to their new single out yesterday. Gavin is back in beast mode!

yes they are back

Gavin Harrison is BRILLIANT !!

More PT please 😁 strip the soul “live at Tilburg” is a another great watch 👍 keep rocking 😁

Anyone while listening G.H. on drums: "Oh my god" G.H: You can also call me Gavin. Absolutely one of the best drummers out there.

I absolutely love you guys! And will keep recommending songs until you get to them. Hopefully your Porcupine Tree playlist will be as long as Jinjer :)) - What Happens Now? (Live at Tilburg) - Fear of a Blank Planet (Live at Tilburg) Please do those in any order, you won’t be disappointed.

one never knows where he is going to hit next... Pinnacle of music these guys along with Tool and Pink Floyd (more on the emotional side). Found Porcupine Tree a year ago from some reaction channel, i'm so glad i did, psychedelic is still alive

I love all of your reactions to PT! I know you love Gavin's drums but soon you'll start to notice how him and Colin Edwin set up a fantastic rhythm section on those latter albums. Beautiful stuff! Some of the tightest live playing I've had the chance to experience. Masterful! Keep digging in. From PT you may stray into a little The Pineapple Thief if you haven't done so already. Gavin plays with them in the latter three albums. You truly have some great reactions and I hope to check out more. PT or Steven's Solo stuff will always be instant click with me. Don't leave out The Aristocrats! Just throw a dart at the Boing, We'll Do It Live DVD and play what it hits and I guarantee you'll be AMAZED! But thank you! Hope to check you out again soon and I have subscribed! :)

This piece is just as fresh now as it was 14 years ago. Never tired of another listen.

I think y'all need to start dabbling in The Mars Volta a bit. I think you'll throughly enjoy their tunes! But also keep up this Porcupine Tree and NIN kick y'all been on too!

You still have a ways to go with PT there are just so many great songs (‘Trains’, ‘Start of Something Beautiful’, ‘Fear of a blank planet’, ‘Time Flies’ but maybe you might like to branch out into Stevens solo work as well. Different band behind him but still brilliant .Try the songs ‘Luminol’, ‘Detonation’, ‘Refuge’ , ‘Pariah’ for starters………….. I love your reactions because you are clearly so tuned into his compositions……..keep it going!

Search out The Pineapple Thief, Part Zero, Live. Gavin's playing on that is super cool.

Waited for so long for PT review from you guys...Please do more Porcupine Tree reviews

Epic!

Round 7: PT's new single Harridan. Can't wait to see you guys reaction!

What a band,followed them a long time now ,only tool are up there with these guys for me,Gavin is THE BEST drummer I've heard and Danny is also up there with him,some of PTs songs are pure brilliance and the playing by everyone concerned is unworldly,fantastic but what a drum sound,hats off to Sonor drums.Great reactions guys keep em coming.

Strip The Soul, Dark Matter, What Happens Now(all live versions)

Gavin's beat in this song is literally a course in odd time subdivision with a root even. He uses it to keep a sense of uncertainty and then unleashed the huge breakdown bit.

Steven Wilson is a genius. The proof is "Home Invasion + Regret # 9 studio version". It's incredible!!!!

Great reaction again folks! so happy to see you doing another PT song, they never let ye down… think a few folk have mentioned already but you should check out Steven Wilson “Home invasion/ regret #9” live from royal Albert hall.. it’s amazing!! You guys will love it 😁

Dark Matter next guys

Gavin Harrison is the drummer they program drum machines to.

Did you move into Stevens solo work yet? There was life after Porcupine tree - Maybe Luminol? also check out some of the more chilled PT tracks like Lazarus or Heart attack in a lay-by, so beautiful, or my favourite slow builder, ‘Yellow Hedgerow dreamscape’.

Porcupine Tree: Home Invasion/Regret #9, Drive Home, Luminol are all AMAZING Must Listens. Studio Versions. Also, The Raven hat Refused To Sing (LIVE) Is Astounding. all these 4 Songs are Songs you HAVE to get to eventually. Classics.

This beat is like the Purdie shuffle one twriods (beat used on Toto Rosanna, and zeppelin foolin the rain)

They dropped a new single called Harridan They're back together after 12 years and they sound amaaazing and Gavin is killing it as usual, tho Collin their bassist isn't with them anymore, Steven played the basslines, and Richard is still there

Damn I can't get enough of PT!

Great lyrics

"Trains" and "The Sound of Muzak" from Arriving Somewhere (live in Chicago) are also exceptional performances!

great pick guys

My dude here reacts to all of these songs almost exactly how I did on first listen haha.

Bonnie the Cat, Hate Song live in Chicago and this are my favorite Gavin performances.

you should react to Gavin Harrison on Letterman, great video. Also, Check out some Steven Wilson solo stuff.

Ok. Drown with Me. Deform To Form A Star live. What Happens now. Do you want me to go on? Ok last one, Steven Wilson live Luminol. Thx guys great reaction vids. Keep em coming.

'What happens now' live in tilburg (check out 3 different time signatures in middle section , or a song called 'Futile' at drum show. 'Strip The Soul-Dot 3' live in tilburg , Gavin Harrison with The Pineapple thief 'White Mist' drum through , Or 'Bonnie the Cat' Drum Show. Enjoy , take Care

First of all - Porcupine Tree and just about anything Steven Wilson touches is golden. One of the best artists of all time! Easily! Second, you should listen to a band called ATOMSHIP. They had one album only and then fell apart unfortunately but seriously some of the coolest songs and one of the BEST DRUMMERS I’ve ever heard. Maybe try the song MOTHRA first as a good introduction.

We need Round 7 "Harridan", the new song from PT!! Gavin smashing as always

After working with Opeth Steven Wilson wanted to take Porcupine Tree in a harder rock direction with the next album, which was to become 'In Absentia' and which was the first one with big label support. A week or two before the recrosrding session in New York he felt tvr drummer wouldn't work and fired him with no plan B. He thought he had just ruined his big break but the keyboard player suggested he call a fellow he'd played some session a with to see if he was available. So Wilson brought him in as a last resort and it was Gavin Harrison. The guy they brought in as a last resort was Gavin F'ing Harrison! Imagine that!

Going to see Gavin Harrison tonight in Boston with King Crimson, one of the best bands of all time!

Strip the Soul next.

For round 7 I recommend either Mother and Child Divided, or Futile. Both feature great work from Gavin.

A song built around a septuplet groove.

Nice reaction! I still think you two would enjoy Erra. Especially "Snowblood"!

This is the most amazing band in recent years, I have been following them for years, try Darkest Eyes next or for a complete change try Lazarus, thankfully they are reforming it will be interesting to see what their break has done for them.

I miss PT.....one of my top 3 fav bands of all time.

In the mean time, have you been able to see them live? and / or will you do some reactions of the songs on their latest album (2022!!)

If you like Tool and Porcupine Tree you will love Pain of Salvation. Try "On a Tuesday" for starters...

Steven Wilson - Radioactive Toy You must hear that

You should also listen to the solo work of Steven Wilson. Just listen to the song "Routine" and see the original video clip... Pure masterpiece!

Dark Matter, please 😊

I'm the guy who offered to double your $1.33 lifetime revenue from RU-vid if you reacted to this song. Where do I send your $2.66 check? I watched your reaction to the last several bars of this song about a dozen times. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you trying to figure out exactly what Gavin was doing. I bet I've watched that a hundred times and read ten completely different takes from drummers. I still have no idea what he was doing there. I just know it was beautiful and nasty all at the same time.

Dylan.... check out Jakob from New Zealand. Opened for Tool a few times!

Guys PLEASE get some Mastodon in your lives. They're such an epic band. Start with Tred Lightly. I promise it will not disappoint.

Round 7: Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree. Period.

Opeth - When.....you know it makes sense

I know Harridan is on deck guys, cheers mates 🍻

Alluvial 40 stories and Inhuman Condition Tyrantula! Ppleessaes check these 2 band out!

This whole band is amazing! I love Gavin Harrison but Steven Wilson's brilliance seems to get lost and he is an amazing musician!

Hatesong live at Park West, Chicago

Riverside...

If you want to hear a great drum cover of this song, check out Maxime Cholley . Dude is a monster, he also covers some Tigran Hamasyan songs. Not to take anything away from Gavin, my favorite drummer.

Half Light that segues into Sever, live at Tilburg is good. But in reality, there's no such thing as a bad live PT performance.

hello, guys. i have 3 suggestions: sleep together, fear of a blank planet, mother and child divided...

Meshuggah - RATIONAL GAZE

Reaccionen.a dream theater the dance of eternity

Porcupine Tree - Russia on Ice !

I feel like I'm just being a good friend in telling you that Animals As Leaders just dropped a previously completely unannounced single this morning at 1 am. "MONOMYTH" I know you can't react, just enjoy!👍

No reaction to Harridan!!! Yet!?????

Check out HOME INVASION and DETONATION Steven Wilson live at the Royal Albert Hall

Watch Gavin with The Pineapple Thief. That's his current band. The songs White Mist and The Threatening War... insane!!

c'est pas gojira
