Shepherd's Reign - Le Manu - A Metalhead's Reaction - I Had a Good Feeling About This One 

seen them a couple of times live and they are amazeballs! awesome band and super nice guys

I Like the reac love

I'm already a fan!!! Love this. It's like the Snuka Brothers and half the NFL formed a metal band. Totally cool! Thanks John. Take brother 😊😎🤘✌️🎸❤️‍🔥

Le Manu is a song about the Samoan fighting spirit. The message basically amounts to "We will always fight for our homeland, and if you decide to start a fight with us, we'll bleed you dry." Being a palagi (white person) who grew up on the Samoan islands, I can confirm that the Samoan people are very capable fighters (and are often huge by US standards). However, they are very kind and generous people otherwise, especially to people from their home islands, even palagis like me.

Wow John I've never heard of Shepherd's reign before either John but this song sounds fantastic heavy brutal what's not to like? Very impressive 🤘🤘

Awesome!! Sounds tribal!!🙏🏽👍☠️🤘🏻

Yeah they’re pretty awesome!

The name means “ The Animal/Beast” Le Manu

There's a reason Samoa, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua all play rugby....because the Pacific Islanders are awesome....from your Rugby brethren in England 😊

Hes holding an ancient Samoan weapon 😎🇼🇸
