Steven Wilson (Drive Home) Kel-n-Rich FIRST REACTION 

That's Guthrie Govan nailing that guitar solo and providing all guitar parts for this album masterpiece. He is an otherworldly guitarist.

I totally agree with your opinions about Floyd and Steven Wilson. He has taken what came before and lifted it up to a new level of professionalism/intensity.

I want someone to look at me like Kel does to Rich when the solo starts! SUCH WHOLESOME COUPLE!

Steven Wilson is definetely one of the greatest prog composers of all times, always surrounded by amazing musicians.

This has probably my favorite guitar solo done in the 21st century. Guthrie is just otherworldly in his ability to fuse shred with tons of taste and emotion.

That instrumental section before the guitar solo is just one of the most sublime music parts EVER!!!

one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

There will never be another Steven Wilson

Let'ts just take a minute to appreciate guthrie's solo. Just pure world class guitar.

Steven Wilson recently told Rick Beato that a guitar had just been brought in the studio and Guthrie picked it up to the solo and a few seconds in one of the strings broke, so he completed that solo on five strings

Steve Wilson's music is so beautiful and emotional...

Never thought I would hear a guitar eargasm that exceeded Steve Hacket’s work on Firth of Fith. I was wrong. I just visited another galaxy.

Amazing and perfect song

This has been an amazing week for me personally. Feels like listening to my favourite songs again for the first time! Thank you for the genuine reactions! BTW can you react to Luminol from the same album?

Still one of my favourite reactions of all time. ❤

The animated video for this song rips my heart out.

How blessed are we to be able to have such amazing music at our fingertips??? Do you ever wonder how many amazing performers existed before we had recording technology? Thousands of years - what might we have missed?

I know you two don't want to react to videos as of yet...however, I implore you to revisit this song with the video. Some songs are that much more emotional with the video - this is one of em!

I recommended Routine with the animated video previously but now that I am aware of your personal situation this may be to overwhelming and sad for you, as it is dealing with what you’re going through... :( yet such a great song...

I was smiling the whole video. I loved your intimacy with this beautiful piece of music, as well as with each other.

Steven Wilson is a musical GOD !!!!! Of course so are Rich and Kel ( Goddess)

The Guitar master himself...that is some goosebumps moment lasting for an eternity

I'm surprised nobody gave you this factoid but about that amazing ending solo. Guthrie Govan the guitarst completely improvised this solo, it was so good that it almost moved Steven Wilson to tears while listening too it and even though he jammed the strings so hard that it popped they still decided to keep it in because its just unbeatable.

Steven Wilson is the first to admit that he borrows from the music that inspires him, whether it's Pink Floyd, or King Crimson, or Genesis. I completely agree that he takes those things from the past and infuses them with a modern sensibility, technical mastery, brilliant composition, and world class musicianship and makes it better. The whole album that this song came from is a love letter to 70's progressive rock and it's incredible. He even tapped the great Alan Parsons to produce. You can't beat that awesome Guthrie Govan guitar solo at the end. For more great Steven Wilson music I highly recommend The Watchmaker and Luminol off this same record, or Like Dust I Have Cleared From My Eyes off of Grace for Drowning, or Ancestral from Hand Cannot Erase. I found you guys by searching for porcupine tree reactions. It's my favorite band of all time and it's fun to see people discover them for the first time. Another recommendation: In Exile or The Final Thing On My Mind or Fend For Yourself by The Pineapple Thief off the album Your Wilderness. Awesome songs in a similar vein to Porcupine Tree featuring Gavin Harrison who was Porcupine Tree's drummer.

I can only back up everybody, reckomending you to watch the video to "Drive Home". It is so sad and beautiful - it is hard to watch without some tears in the eyes.

Steven Wilson-Routine

Reaction to "Drive Home" and "Routine" should really be done while watching their official videos done by Jess Cope. They push them even further! Found your videos by searching for Steven Wilson "reactions" His music is so powerful that I love to see how it affects others.

What is it about watching people experience music together that is so pleasurable? Thanks you two, such a fun watch

Wow this is the first video i watch in your channel and i can't describe how the video is emotional and how i can feel the felling between you two and how it get to me so ambitious ooh what can i say about the song it's better than today most shit. 🍃♥️

Steven Wilson is awesome and i about once a week search Steven Wilson React and your video came up. I like to see peoples reactions to his genius.

you guys are amazing. Keep on

When RU-vid recommended your First Reaction channel, I didn't expect much. I discovered Porcupine Tree in 2001 when I got the Stupid Dream CD for my birthday, then I noticed I kept playing it again and again. Then I saw they played the Paradiso in Amsterdam, so I went their and was totally blown away. I also bought ''Returning Jesus'' by NoMan, SW's collaboration with Tim Bowness, an amazingly beautiful album. Since then I bought the whole back catalogue - a real goldmine- , saw them 40+- times live, was even in the dressing room once, so I can safely say it's part of my life. Your First Reaction was so genuine that I felt the kind of emotion again that blew me away in the first place. You love the music, the musicians and, most importantly, each other, which gives the video a very authentic vibe. In that setting, most interesting comments come fom the depth of your souls. I subscibed and I liked. When he comes to play in Amsterdam in September and you can come over, I buy you tickets (hope the live shows don't get cancelled...). May I recommend the new song ""Personal Shopper'' from his forthcoming album ''The Future Bites? You will find the official video at RU-vid. All the best.

Thanks for introducing me to Steven's work. In my busy life I have not had a chance to experience it until now.

You are adorable. Couple goals. Try to listen to some Alcest; pure; fragile; sincere music. Often overlooked and not for everyone tho.

Thanks for the reaction ! Please routine !!

Everything has been said 😉👍 .... I just add 😁😉... Steven Wilson ... Very beautiful voice I love this way of singing. His voice transports me "just like the rest of the band" Thank you Kel-n-Rich for your nice reaction👏👍🤘💙🤘🌈

I watch a lot of reaction vids (and have a channel myself, too) and most of them are request driven too. They all have some videos that are their own selections, but I’d say 95% requests. Also, I’m sure that I found you because of the kind of music I listen to, and possibly even a particular song I had been watching reactions to. I notice that when I see a few reactions to a particular song ( I listen to a lot of Rush, Nightwish, Tool, Unleash the Archers, etc) that RU-vid starts feeding me other reactions to those same songs/bands. I’m certain that’s how I found you.

I found you guys via simple youtube search, Im a huge prog rock fan, and when I type something I like you guys could come up, and well, became a subscriber.

OK guys -- now watch the VIDEO for this one. And after that, the video for "The Raven That Refused To Sing," and then "Routine," and then the Trifecta of Ultimate Sadness will be complete. Ha! I absolutely love Steven Wilson, and this is such a terrific song.

Found you through love of Genesis and Steven Wilson.

Rich, when I was first turned onto Tree and Wilson, I was in a stagnant period and had moved from the prog that I grew up with and was listening to Pat Metheny and a few other Progressive Jazz artists. Then came Hand Cannot Erase. It hit me so hard and started me on a incredible journey. Life is fresh again.

Rich, I completely agree. Floyd, Genesis, Yes, Crimson, Tangerine Dream were where my heart was for most of my now 58 year life. Steven Wilson is my favorite artist of all time. From No-Man to Porcupine Tree, Blackfield, Storm Corrosion, everything he does is brilliant. I saw Porcupine Tree in the late 90's and Steven Wilson solo three times and the live shows are beyond comprehension. Steven Wilson Routine will leave you and Kel in tears.

First saw the machine at wetlands in nyc 1998. I love that band.

Just listen to every album of this genius .....and you no what I mean!

Watching this as a couple brought my wife and I closer together than before.

Yesss!

Big Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson fan here. I believe one of your videos just appeared in the suggested videos to watch while I was watching another reaction channel. It was PT’s Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. I’m always on the look out for anyone reacting to their music. I immediately subscribed to your channel. 😀

You guys are doing it right! Keep up the good work. Suggest more Genesis, try Heathhaze from the Duke album

As soon as Guthrie was finished,the guitar asked for a cigarette

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I think Steven Wilson is, like Pink Floyd, just an artist through and through. I saw Steven Wilson live with my dad who saw the early Pink Floyd live and he said it had a similar vibe.

Well, they made a video game out of this song. The name of the game is "Last Day of June" The story is inspired one the song that you just reacted, and the music is composed by Steven Wilson. I'm not a big fan of video games and I'm not an emotional person, but I played this one on my PC and this game made me cry at the end. I heavily recommend you to play this and enjoy the game, story and Steven Wilson music at the same time. PS: Do more Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree. Also Steven Wilson has another project named Blackfield, check them out. If you like Steven Wilson, check the band Anathema, they have some ultimate prog stuff.

I hope you guys have revisited this and watched the video is makes the song somehow twice as beautiful

Steven Wilson wrote it he writes everything including most of the porcupine tree discography I would highly recommend watching this video because in addition to how mesmerizing the sound is the video is equally immersive Cope is amazing

For more Porcupine Tree or Steven Wilson, you can always try (in no particular order) Heartattack in a Layby (PT) Lazarus (PT) Time Flies (PT) The Raven that refused to sing (SW) Perfect Life (SW) Refuge (SW) These not requests, they're recommendations. 😊

2 more Steven Wilson .... Watchmaker ( do live SW when possy...it's another level), and Raven That Refused to Sing...and the previously mentioned Routine.... Also, a band I mentioned earlier that is very influenced by Floyd and Porcupine Tree, is Riverside.They have elements of both ,plus a little metal, tool, and something all their own. The bassist/songwriter Mariusz Duda, has also collaborated with Steven Wilson ( surprise).....try these : The Curtain Falls, Second Life Syndrome, or Escalator Shrine....this band is different from many other prog bands in that melody comes before technical complexity, yet they go there with subltety. Also, you two seem like such a lovely, and loving couple. I'm going to suggest a group again called Anathema. This song will leave you cuddling ( and it's Steven Wilson produced.....I know ...SURPRISE) m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mk0OF9DdVhw.html 🎥 Anathema - Dreaming Light - RU-vid also...this one m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tzzIiO5FDK0.html 🎥 Anathema - Thin Air - RU-vid

My thoughts exactly on Floyd comparison. Listen and react to "Routine" rehearsal video at Royal Albert Hall. Features Ninet Tayeb. It's a must.

Your vid came up presumably because I'm a huge Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree fan. A band I love almost as dearly is Big Big Train who's guitarist Dave Gregory came from a band that I was a huge fan of in the 80's, XTC. Cheers!

That song clears away all the jetsam in my brain.

Thanks

... the best song ... this is emotion in its purest form ... this will be my last song when I should leave (but not yet, not yet)

Steven Wilson has cited his influences growing up as pink floyd and ABBA make of that what you will

You are beautiful people, when I am listening your comments. Greetings from The Netherlands

Yall shoulda watched the video to get the full experience

Marillion- The Great Escape. Not metal but progressive. Great vocals, great guitar work. Would like to see your reaction. I think you would enjoy.

I do also recommended routine from Steven Wilson with the official video. painful emotional master piece.I discovered you watching Routine from Steven Wilson.

I saw Steven Wilson in concert at The Royal Festival Hall London. Fantastic. If you haven’t listened to Blackfield, Stevens other project (one of many) check out Family Man. Keep up the good work...

As to your request question at the end, a lot of reactors do it differently. Some set up specific days for certain bands or genres. Other days set aside for bands they haven't heard. I'm sure you're getting more requests than you can handle, so it's a good idea to sort them out somehow, so you have a good variety of stuff. I've seen some reactors that only react to the top comment on a video, which is usually going to be a song from that band, so they never end up branching out to new things.

Most other reactors are request-driven, in my experience. But, You are the best.

Personal Shopper is superb ne SW!

Anathema - “Everything”

I would also go with marillion. Neverland or the great escape live.

Regards from india, bless u guys . Please react to the song called routine by steven Wilson.

I have never subscribed to anyone else, but wanted to because I like that you allow the whole song to play through and talk prior to and after the song has finished. I haven’t sampled all your reviews yet, sorry if I recommend something you have already done. I would recommend Anathema - Internal Landscapes, and also The Lost Song Part 2 (Perfect Sense). Another is the band Soup - Northern Patriarch and also Clandestine Eyes. One more band would be, Sylvan - Shine or Timeless Traces. And of course anything by Pineapple Thief. Close your eyes and feel all this great music.

ghost brigade - in the woods

I completely agree. Porcupine tree and Steven Wilson make music with grandeur, texture, progression and nuance that Pink Floyd can only dream of. And i have all the the Floyd albums.

This album (the raven. Who refused to sing and other stories) was done in a style to sound like 70's vintage progressive rock. As far as floyd influences...he was very much influenced by floyd. In his single, voyage 34 (which is an hour long song about an acid trip) there is a floyd sound. It is there on purpose. Also, a lot of his early stuff is very experimental sounding. Reminds me of what floyd was doing after the syd era when floyd was trying to find their sound. I think steven went through same thing. And that has helped him master sound and emotion as well as mixing etc.

Totally agree with you on the Floyd note- They took Floyd (which I already loved) and somehow took it even farther. Listen to "Russia on Ice" by Porcupine Tree when you can, it's another Floyd-trip which suddenly evolves into even more. The whole Lightbulb Sun album is, really. Earlier PT is like a full-on love letter to Floyd. I sincerely recommend listening to that one, In Absentia, Deadwing (Arriving Somewhere is off that one) and Fear of a Blank Planet (Anesthetize is off that one) in one sitting. Or any PT/SW album besides the first one maybe. On the reaction channels note, most I've watched are request-driven usually, unless there's like a new album out by a band they personally love or something. Also I found you guys simply searching for Porcupine Tree reactions. Btw, did you listen to Roger Wates' 2017 album? I personally thought it was great. My favorite solo album of his. [P.S. sorry for the long as hell comment haha]

Good reaction!... best guitar solo of all time?

That sax is actually a hobo, but that just as a sidenote. It is a beautiful, intense song!

they where spared by not watching the clio

Check out The Watchmaker live in Frankfurt Or the music video for Routine

Don't know if you reacted to Steven Wilson's animated music video for the song Routine. The song, lyrics and the video will make you cry and it is only human to cry watching that video, especially when you see what it is about 7 minutes in the song.

As stated in an earlier post, the video to accompany the music would really elevate the experience. If you are able to ever match video with audio then give Steven Wilson's song The Raven That Refused to Sing a go. It's a mover of the soul, that song.

Try 'BLACKFIELD' - MY GIFT OF SILENCE. Another band featuring Steven Wilson. Hope you guys are ok and stay safe😀

Porcupine Tree: Signify and Lightbulb Sun are great albums.his solo stuff is awesome as well. #StevenWilson The Holy Drinker and Dark Matter are awesome

Awesome reaction as always! Request #5 Kamelot-Elizabeth 1-3 studio version

Wilson es un orgasmo musical

You both are very so much correct in your opinions in my opinion. The progressive world is very exciting world a lot more colors to the rainbow a lot more textures to the feeling I can see that your dream theater fans so you must know how exciting it can be to listen to regular rock and roll and many other types of music out there that are flourishing with many different colors.. But when you have something as a wonderful written as drive home by Steve Wilson or Lazarus or conceiving you by Riverside abandoned mystery Fates warning you get something that really grab a hold of your heart and soul at both levels and leaves you wanting more leaves you wanting to go further farther into that rabbit hole of true heart songs that have lyrics to shoot poetry and your life wouldn't have been the same as you not heard it enjoyed it people not for is that not what love is about enjoying the most that you can that's good and the music is always so great so good so wonderful and passionate.. Check out arena if you can.. one more band to check out is, knight area . The album to that would be the Sun also rises I know that you guys will enjoy the song mortal Brown as well as the song called moods inspiring clouds and the gate of eternity beyond I truly love that album as well as other albums from them.. And then if you get a chance check out threshold preferably the Mac years Andrew McDermott..

He woke up and thought that hat was a good choice....

I hope you watch the music video for this song. Also I found you through Tool (of course) in the suggestions.

Katatonia - for my demons

Try "the raven that refuses to sing", "Routine", "Permanating", "Refuge", all from Steven Wilson !!!! And "Anesthetize" from Porcupine tree ! ;-)

Nice 👏👏👏👏 you should react to Marillion - Jigsaw 🙏

7:53 i know, right ? I did the same too

I'm a big Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson fan and I listened all of his music. I surf the youtube foe PT/SW reactions to see how other people think about the music that I like. PT and SW are pretty underrated. They make ultimate music but no one knows them. You know, I live in Iran ATM. The music industry is crap there, also pop music sucks world wide. And not everyone understand the music that I like and I play (prog rock, prog metal, 90s pop)

#Anathema Internal Landscapes #Anathema Flying live from Bulgaria #Anathema One last Goodbye live from Bulgaria Amazing band

Definitely listen to Routine at least, if not watching the video. Hand Cannot Erase is an amazing concept album based on a real-life tragedy. Also, you must listen to the title track from Steven Wilson's album The Raven That Refused To Sing. Watch the beautiful animated video of that, too. You will love this song.

“Routine” is quite exceptional. Although I would suggest at least one of you listen and watch the video first before deciding to watch it together on RU-vid. To be frank the video puts the whole track into perspective. It’s a hard watch/listen but ultimately uplifting. All the best.

If you love Gilmour and Floyd you should check out Airbag - Homesick.

This is definitely a desert island album
