ROADIE REACTIONS | "Parkway Drive - Wild Eyes (Live)" | [FIRST TIME LIVE REACTION] 

As every Muslim should make a pilgrimage to Mecca in their life, every metalhead should make a pilgrimage to Wacken. 🤟 I was there 3 times, so Valhalla should be mine 😉

The way winston smiles at the crowd, like he just cant believe its him on that stage..... i love it man. Best frontman ever hands down

I was somewhere in the back of the crowd, and hoooooly sh*t that was soooo fun. One of the best shows - if not even THE best - I've seen last year. At least on my opinion. Their entrance gave me chills. They were just walking through the crowd, flanked by guys with torches, epic music playing. And the bass player was not on stage through the first song, but then his mum rolled him on stage in a wheelchair, because he had just recently suffered a broken knee. And then mum crowdsurfed for the first time in her life all the way back while everyone chanted "MUM! MUM! MUM!" 😂😂

Love the drumming here. His blasts are like thousands machine guns firing at you.

Definitely check out The Void from the same show. You think there’s a lot of energy in this song?

Winston is the greatest frontman of all time, from the lyrics to the interaction with the crowd and the performance, the guy just has the IT factor. Also, these guys are just so down to earth and seem awesome to hang with. Favorite band ever.

I love Parkway Drive. One of the best live experiences I've ever had. So glad they blew up a couple of years later! I'm not surprised this was played during the preds games. Hockey metal at its best!

I live 70 kilometres away from Wacken. It's unbelievable to have such an epic festival nearby :D

It isn't just the Wacken crowd but Winston has an amazing crowd control. At point the ground was shacking he could and he did command the crowd and people just did it while in other acts they don't care. He asked for more crowd surfers all the time and he loved it. They are not as big as other artists but considering how this band played for 6 people almost twenty years ago and now they managed to do this and only with hard work and dedication and believing in themselves and their music is surprising for many. They deserve every big crowd they get honestly.

The lead singer took such DELIGHT in singing about the end of the world with the audience. I hadn't heard of them before, just have seen the name in comments. We MUST see more!! Many, MANY years ago, I got to see Billy Idol live in Ottawa. This was just after he had been in a motorcycle accident and had been told to NOT go on tour. Ha. So off he went on tour, with a cane. He spent the whole show hopping around on one leg, using the cane to hold himself up. Absolutely TERRIFIC show! He enjoyed himself immensely, and it came through. There was no way that he was going to listen to a bunch of doctors, he loved performing so much. I have to wonder what kind of pain meds he was on.

Never thought Parkway Drive would give me goosebumps, but fuck that crowd o.O amazing.

I love your reactions. Its not simply listening to a song. You show a lot of passion for music. You give a lot of intresting infos even fans might not know. Its like showing a song to a buddy. A cool buddy.

Brother !! Parway is absolutley beast!! Idols and Anchors !! The river !! Crushed !! And by the way ...Get that peach fuzz growing

that concert was so overwhelming, simply because the bandmembers themselves were so overwhelmed as well. It was such a cool atomsphere

One of my favorite parts of these videos of this set at Wacken is just watching Winston react to the crowd.

Fellow Aussie here, we were there in the mosh pit at Wacken 2019! They did well! Thank you you crazy Germans for hosting us!🤘🤘

"Is the bass player in a wheelchair" Is it even parkway drive if someone isn't?

Yep, the wheelchair is kind of an honorary member of the group

Great reaction Tank!! Definitely need to make Flashback Friday happen where you talk about bands you already know!! It is nice to see you break down gear and production on more familiar/ popular bands. love all the insight you have for this video :D GO PARKWAY!!!!

in germany, we have a really big festival culture ... take a whole summer and join Full Force, Wacken, Summer Breeze as the biggest of their kind and many smaller festivals

If you have never seen Parkway Drive, you have to go! They are phenomenal, one of the highest energy bands I’ve ever seen!

Wacken is one of a kind. The People, the bands, the shows. everything. still super bummed this year fell through but i cant wait to be back on the holy ground next year. Demons & Wizards live at wacken would be an amazing reaction. Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth and Hansi from Blind Guardian's brainchild (with other members of both bands on instruments) and a killer show.

its crazy seeing this guys with a massive crowd like this because back in Aus i've only seen them in line 2-4000 people venues and they truly own the crowd no matter the size venue!

THE VOID from the same show is INSANE!! This was actually made for their new documentary called Viva The Underdogs and it’s absolutely EPIC

Hellz ya! That was awesome! I have never seen crowds like Wacken.... ever! Amazing! Keep rockin’ it out! 🤘🏻❤️

I can’t even put into words how fucking incredible it is to be in a parkway crowd when they headline. Holy fucking shit

This song gets me so hyped. Also, love the veil of maya track in the background at the end of vid.

You know you're a God when one of the biggest metal festivals ever is chanting your guitar riffs and then your name after the song

Good luck with the tickets to Wacken, they are already sold out for the 2021 edition. But you said it well, for metalheads it’s like a pilgrimage. Please, check out The Warning, i think you’re gonna be surprise. Greetings from Mexico!

One of the best bands to do it! They know how to bring everyone together to have an UNFORGETTABLE time. I wasn't there at Wacken (Sadly) but I've seen them a few times and each one better than the last. They worked so hard to have what they have now, truly deserved. Nothing quite like singing those chants with your stranger family, and then bumping each others skulls in the pits! PWD always!

I was eight times in Wacken in the last years, it´s so unbeliveble. No words can explane the amazing feelings and expierience at this place. Glad to see so many Wacken live reactions vids from you. Stay tuned and keep healthy. Greetz from Germany...

Please react to The Void from the same concert, it was my first Wacken but definitely not my last one PS: Bass Player got injured playing football in Germany, his mom stagedived all the way from the front to the back at the beginning Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹, keep up your great content

Best live act in Metal 😱

I saw Parkway Drive at the Summer Breeze Festival in 2019, which was their last show of the summer tour. It was also an absolutely "goosebumps" moment. They've used also a few cool things for their bass player. He was lifted up by the song "crush" if I remember correctly (could be on "shadow boxing" or "writtings on a wall" as well) And they had also a few show elemts like huge flames as well for example on "crushed". Was an amazing show.

The Chronos live performance @Wacken 2019 was awesome. Unfortunately there is no live video. I saw it on a live stream on TV and that was the point where Parkway Drive got me :D

I’ve watched this set SO many times, the energy is just so contagious I LOVE IT. (I also love PWD, especially their latest album) Chronos, The Void, I Hope you Rot, Wishing Wells = give me chills every damn time) Fun fact: I tried to win Wacken tickets for the entire summer of 2015 (4 tickets) off of our local radio station, called and entered online every day. Long story short, didn’t win but my mom called the radio station and yelled at them for not picking me LOL. I just think of that every time I watch Wacken set lists. 😂

I love that you add facts at the bottom that’s a really cool touch 😃🤘

I was at a pre-season game in Nashville in 2016, can confirm that Parkway Drive was running. Have a good one from Germany.

Check out their song The Void, from same show. Also, both Saxon and Accept have played Wacken multiple times.

One amazing live video from Wacken is Heaven Shall Burn - Voice of the Voiceless from 2009. Crowd is going absolutely nuts. I have never seen anything like it in terms of crowd reaction.

You really should go to Wacken! I went 15 times, 1999-2014, and it was awesome. 2015 my wife got pregnant and now we have a small daughter. So we can't go in the moment. But after watching a lot of your videos, I´m hyped again to go to a big festival. So, thanks for your videos, you make me go to Wacken again :)

I saw parkway drive for the first time at a tiny pub down the beach in Melbourne, Australia yeeaaarrss ago (Chelsea Hotel for anyone who knows) wouldn’t have been more than a hundred people and I am SO proud of them for how far they’ve come 🤘🏻🇦🇺

This concert was fucking insane. They were having their time of their life's headlining wacken. At least thats what it felt like. Saw them again 2 weeks later at summer breeze. Same energy. They always deliver.

great guys and great atmosphere on their shows. seen em live twice headlining With Full Force Festival (Germany) and this was a blast. their energy ...wow...they had killer pyroshow setting the whole stage on fire, they had a rotating Drummer and all...it was hell of a Show...and so much Fun. remember my aching neck afterwards thanks for this reaction

I´ve been in the crowd and it was just awesome!! So Tank join the Pit in the future \m/

I was there and it was amazing. Also you mentioning "no pyro" made me laugh cause at the end of that show they emtied what seemed like every last flamethrower there is on this planet into the skies :-DDD That Song was one of few without any SFX. Also it was not completely the festival lights cause they had additional groundbased and flown lights, pyros and all that good stuff with them. A literal f**kton of that. A collegue of mine worked at their show at summer breeze that same year. trust me. A f**kton! ;-) If you want to have a slight glance of what wacken does production wise these days, watch the 30th anniversary show they did immediately before parkway drive hit the stage. That was incredible...

I saw them live at a hella smaller venue and no matter the size the energy is still the same. It will forever be the best show I've ever attended!

I was at that show and let me tell you, it was every bit as epic at it looks like, right from the beginning when the band entered the stage by going through the crowd with security flanking them with torches.

If you check put Viva The Underdogs, they go into the fact that they are self, everything. Managed, promoted and they are in charge of all tours. They hire awesome people and have had the same people for a long time that keep them on track. But they have final word on everything. The amount of things that went wrong prior to this was spectacular. The fact that they pulled it off us amazing. One of my favorite bands!

You must see "The void" from the same concert, you must!!!!

They are insane live. They connect with the crowd unbelievably, it doesn't matter if it's a big or a small one. I recommend you to check (just for you to see, it doesn't have to be for a reaction) their full show at Resurrection Fest in Spain. Or not the whole show, just Prey, it was the second song... OMG I was there and I can tell the earth moved 😎🤘

I was there! And it was awesome! This was soo much fun. You should definitely come to Wacken one day!

That whole show was amazing. The crowd was nothing than insane and the light show f*cking kicked ass! Just loved and really really enjoyed it so much.

75000 people is fucking insane. imagine the goosebumps the band had.

Nice to see some Miss May I love in the intro! :) I think Parkway Drives song Home Is For The Heartless would be a great song to react to, because it's really emotional :)

I never heard of them but my 1st time hearing the was actually live at wacken they were new to me and man im addicted they have alot of good songs Bottom feeder is great Chronos too

I listen to this live version multiple times a day. I prefer it over their regular recording. Hell yeah!

Glad that you liked this awesome show and band. From the same concert I highly recommend The Void - lot's of pyro and great sound. Keep up the superb reactions - I love them!

been there in the front...still goosebumps

You should react to them playing "Crushed" from the same show if you want to see some pyros ;)

Always instant goosebumps when i see it! Was one of my best Festivals ever!

Great reaction! Enjoying watching a dude who's actually knows what he's talking about. Best thing about wacken is, that its just a 30 minute drive from where i live, like other festivals (Hurricane, Southside, Deichbrand... all festivals in my area) Living the dream :D

Parkway Drive is awesome. Those moshoits were brutal. Kind of insane seeing this now and thinking back to the festival. God I miss Wacken/festivals in general.

They went up right before Motionless in White in Scranton at Apocalypse Fest this past weekend. I had heard of them but never listened to them. Needless to say they killed it, i'm now obsessed. Aside from MIW who always are great plus it was their home town, Parkway Drive blew my damn mind they were really good. Of the 8 bands, MIW, Parkway and The Amity Affliction were standouts of the day at a hardcore fest.

Ahh I'm so glad that I'm german So I can go to all the amazing festivals, wacken, rock am ring, and many more ;) Aaaaand fucking yes the crowd is, most the time, fucking amazing 💪🏼🤘🏼

A friend recommended Parkway Drive to me just around the time IRE came out. Have'nt heard of them before, the name does'nt resally say "hey, we're a metalcore band". I like it thou. Then I found other bands like Winds of Plague, Thy art is murder and The Black Dhalia Murder. Im more of a melodic deathmetal type of person but i like this style too. Speaking of melodic deathmetal, Dark Tranquillity is coming out with a new album in november. The single..uhm..teaser..whatever, Phantom Days is phenomenal!

I was supposed to see them a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, the show got rescheduled but I had amazing seats and it got moved to a different venue that’s all GA. Oh well, they’re worth it.

If you want to go to Wacken, you've got to be quick. Those tickets usually sell out shortly after the previous festival's over^^ But it's really incredible. The place is a tiny town with not even 2.000 inhabitants and every summer people from all over the world flock to this place in the middle of nowhere and freak out! You might want to check out the Wacken Firefighters! They're the local fire department brass band that's been opening the festival since 2000.^^

Btw - Powerwolf - Sanctified With Dynamite is a Wacken live

I was in the second row. It was an unbelievable show....

saw them two times ... no band i ever saw was this good on stage, also the live master/mix is insanly good !!!!

This was the first time i crowdsurfed ever - at this song, at wacken .. it was a perfect moment😍

As a Wacken regular I was of course in that circle pit. Come on over to Wacken and have a drink in our camp!

Not a regular commenter on RU-vid but I just saw this and wanted to tell you, that from a roadie perspective, you would really love the Parkway Drive "movie", Viva the Underdogs, that chronicles the lead-up to this show. It's pretty awesome to see what goes into it and the guys from Parkway Drive are just stand up dudes! Also, been enjoying your reactions!

I wanted you to make a video with Parkway. I saw them last year on Domination and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Next should be The Void also in Wacken.

I've never heard a RU-vidr say dislike if you didn't like it. Props to you, my guy

I was there, it was huge! One of the best shows i've ever seen!

Did some research for a Wacken trip. You can bring an RV, have shore power hookups, on site showers etc. All included in the ticket price of $65. Youre also allowed to bring in unlimited food and drink. And can have BBQs etc As an american concert goer I am shocked and appalled at not being asked to pay $15 for an 8oz water. Shocked i tell you.

Have been in the crowd ... best show last year. You should go wacken some day ;) ... keep on going. Love all the facts during your reactions

I saw them live for the....4th time just after reverence was released. Thy art is murder opened and Killswitch engage supported.....a highlight of every show since the song was released is Wild eyes.....it's an amazing experience to do the guitar riff chant...

Incredible reaction man. Really enjoyed you dropping actual facts. Please reaction to more Parkway videos. If you enjoy live videos, you are going to enjoy this band.

awesome entertaining as always. I highly suggest you watch some live shows of them a few years back. Same energy, always good sound quality and crazy crowdsurfing going in on, but more on a late afternoon. Also, I think I saw Parkway Drive at least 8 times and they always deliver! The energy swaps directly over from band to crowd and back!!!

I get chills every time I hear that guitar into 🤘

It was fcking nice to see this live last year :)

Me and my girl was there that night, we stood just behind that circle pit in the beginning...The most insane feeling I have ever experienced to be honest. Even this recording doesnt do this justice... I miss this

Love it dude. Parkway Drive has a lot of 80's riffs

Thoes first 3 notes were enough to get me in the pits. Without a doubt the best band ive seen live also really nice guys to chat to before a show too, they have alot of time for fans

I dont know much about Parkway Drive so I'm curious to discover that with you. Let's see ! Oh and your speech about liking the genuine first time and be surprised got me thinking on a subject you are probably tired of seing me bringing up, but hey... I keep hesitating between which Skalmold song you should check first between Hel and Kvadning from the same concert... I think it should be Hel, it's the less "popular" of the two but it's more surprising and deserves much more recognition. Now, onto discover something myself with Parkway Drive !

Was there twice. 2002 and 2014. Both time it was awesome

I saw them live 2-3 years ago I think.. And it was amazing! Along with Jinjer, the best concert I've ever seen :)

Heck, I didn't even see you did a reaction to this one, too. I just listened to the whole show two days ago. WDR (which is one of the public TV stations here in Germany) and their format Rockpalast have the whole recording of it up for free here on their RU-vid-channel 🥰 I saw them back on their Atlas run in Oberhausen and they were mind blowing even then and this show definitely is a few steps above still. What I like best about these guys is that they really, genuinely enjoy these shows just as much as their crowds do :). I definitely have seen bands that felt rather lackluster, as if they were so bored of playing shows that they didn't even want to play :/.... These guys manage to make you feel as if your hometown crowd is the greatest one they ever played - they make these moments real special for their crowds. Yes definitely go to Wacken. It's on my list still, too. The whole village lives and breathes that festival :) Also, isn't that the run where they recorded "Viva Les Underdogs" 🤔? They did German versions of "The Void"(Die Leere),"Shadowboxing" (Schattenboxen, which features German rapper Casper [I actually really don't know if I should label him as that, his stuff has always been borderline metal/rock, rather than pure hip hop which really isn't my cup of tea]) and "Vice Grip" (Würgegriff), which worked and sounded incredibly 💕

I told my wife pre-Covid that in 2021 I wanted to take a family trip to Europe with her and the kids, but that I would veer off for a few days on my own for either Wacken or Hellfest. I think a “Tank the Tech” meet up there is a great idea!!

Im so jealous of Tanks beard, I want mine to be that full! :P

Winston is such a badass and this live album in the car will make you forget anything else exists!!! 🤘🤘🤘

That has to be a helluva feeling to look out to a sea of ppl ,to have everyone of them sing along with their song. Let’s Go Preds been to a bunch of games .Im just down from you on Tn,Al border.

I saw them in the UK, lights are pretty much their stuff. As rig was more or less the same. Think it was mainly SGM and Clay-Paky. They also have a lot of pyro during that touring year, lot of concussions, flame effects and waterfall FX. Was close to a rammstein show

You should see their walk out... they walked all the way through the crowd and up on the stage. They have a movie about headlining the show

Another tank fact or two. The first woman you see body surfing is one of the groups mothers crowd surfing for the first time. If you want see production and equipment check out their viva the underdogs documentary. It shows some equipment. I used to be a stagehand back in 05 to 07 these guys are so down to earth and so thankful for their fan base.

It's weird an Aussie band who base most of their touring crew, recording and record label all out of Germany and because of this German Metalheads really like them. In Europe they generally sell out arenas 12k-15k people. Slightly smaller venues in the US with slightly less focus on the US weirdly.

you havent lived until you have been to a parkway drive concert.. they put on the best metal shows ive ever been to.
