The HU - Wolf Totem (COUNTRY GUY REACTS!!!) 

Interesting fact about one of the lines in the song. “10 of us will strike as thunder, 100 of us will shatter your hearts, 1000 of us will destroy and obliterate, 10k of us will hand you the wrath of heaven”, these are the unit increments of Chinggis Khaan’s Golden Horde. The phrase “hand you the wrath of heaven” is from a supposed quote from Chinggis Khaan…as the story goes a King defeated by Chinggis asked why they were basically wiped out, to which Chinggis responded “I am the Wrath of Heaven, if your sins weren’t so great God wouldn’t have sent me to destroy you”, or something like that.

I played this song several times and then I noticed a bird fall out of a tree nearby,so I went to investigate. Saw that a caterpillar had been listening to this song and the bird tried to get him as lunch, but the caterpillar jumped the bird and threw it out of the tree.

A Blue Maned Lion is the Snow Lion which is a mythical animal that resides in the Eastern Himalayas. The Snow Lion has a youthful, vibrant energy and a natural sense of delight. Its fur is pure white and its flowing mane is the color of Tibetan turquoise. The Snow Lion symbolizes fearlessness and victory over all obstacles.

The Instrument you were so fascinated with is called the Morin Khuur or “Horse Head Fiddle”, if made traditionally the 2 “strings” (Male & Female) are made from the hairs from a horse’s tail (to bind the instrument to the player the hairs must come from the player’s horse), the Male string has 150 hairs and the Female string has 130 hairs. A sign of a Master Morin Khuur player is mimicking a near realistic horse’s neigh or whinny with the instrument.

I like your reaction. This is a Mongolian band that uses traditional Mongolian instruments and throat singing. I think that HU means Human in Mongolian. Please, react to a cover that The Hu band did of Metallica's "sad but true". Thanks.

In the second verse when they refer to the Goruda bjrd and the lions with blue manes they are referencing cultural mythology. Im a Packers fan and i was thinking this would be a great pregame warm up song for the team as well as the crowd. In my head im singing GOPACKGOPACKGOPACK GOOO! LOL

If you don't get absolutely PUMPED listening to this song you're dead inside. 😆 I always thought this would be good song to run onto the football field to. The other team would be shook.

such a great song i can see folks chanting Hu band

I would highly recommend another one by them called "yuve yive yu" its another major hit!

I've seen the Hu in concert twice at small theatres. It was the best! I love their cover songs and collaborations with mega rock stars as well. If you want to go further down the old + new styles mix with music (similar to the Hu) check out Skald. Their cover of Seven Nation Army is a good intro. They play at metal concerts like the Hu as well. :)

I love the sincerity of your reaction. The HU aside from their traditional instruments...the lyrics also give out a message of unity for the human race. Which we all need to take in to ourselves and change our mindset.

Amazing band, watched this video back in early 2019 and it changed my life, a little over 60, this gave me a new spark in life, the best ever inspirational song, have seen The HU "live" in 3 different Australian cities now Brisbane 2020 and Melbourne & Adelaide in 2022 HU HU HU HU

The 2 stringed instruments are called morin khuurs or horse head fiddles and the guitar is called a tovshur or Mongolian lute.

Dropkick Murphys from Boston, MA, have Banjo and other none conventional instrument's for punk'ish band.

THANK YOU you are the only reactionary that understood what the Harleys are symbolic for (Horses)

They are Mongolian warriors...They were the reason the Great Wall was built by China...Tribal and feirce warriors..they are desendents of the Great Gangus Kahn..and Kubla Khan.

Mongolian babies are usually born with blueish birthmark at the base of the spine. This birthmark usually disappears over time but this might the origin of the reference to "lions with blue mane".

The lyrics to this are derived from a poem by feared Mongol leader Genghis Kahn, and I think (but may be wrong) that these aren't auto-translate but posted by the band. I'm not sure what a blue mane lion is though. The Mongols and their ancestor cousins The Huns are the reason that for a good couple of centuries, from China to Rome, the phrase "Look mommy, a man on a pony" was about the worst thing you could hear

The president of Mongolia is one of the motorcycle group.

Welcome to the world of folk metal we have everything from Traditional african music to Throat singing you can headbang to here is my list of Folk metal bands around the world Al Namrood (guys played metal in Saudi Arabia back while it was punishable by death) Arka'n Asrafokor (Togo) Alien weaponry (New Zealand- Maori metal) Wagakki band (Japan) THe Hu (Mongolia) Arkona (Russia) Percival (Poland / pan slavic [they made covers of folk songs fro mall 3 major slavic subgroups]) Manntra (Croatia) metaklapa (Croatia ... This band is weird because they do covers of metal songs in a traditional singing stile of Dalmatian coastline called Klapa) Brkovi (... ok more of a punk band but they mix metal in quite often and also Croatia my suggestion is the song "Ovce ft. Sassja") Dubioza kolektiv (a mix of metal,rap,regge ... basically everything under the sun and Bosnian folk [check out "No escape from balkan"]) Cemican (Mexico) Eluveitie (celtic metal) Tyr (Fareo islands) Baldrs Draumar (Frisian folk metal) MiracleOfSound (Ireland ... well dude is a youtuber and does metal in general but check out Tale of Cu Chullain or Grainn Mahoil)

Ha... We were just listening to this while driving through the hawaiin hill sides. It was a beautiful moment in time.

our indians have wolf totems too animals totems

The bikers are a symbolic representation of the ancient Mongol Horde :) the instruments are traditional Mongolian instructions including the horsehead fiddle. The lead singer is a professor of Music at the Mongolian Conservatory of Music and a lot of their songs are old folk songs turned metal :) Mongolian throat singing is the best in world

❤😂❤😂❤😂 LOOOVED your reaction ❤❤❤ makes my heart sing 😎 ... ADORE your open mind...I'll bet your team loves and respects you immensely. 👏👏👏👏👏

Check out Women's Song ft Lizzy Hale.

like the HU !!! if you whant new sound hear the group SKALD " O VALHALLA" live @ Hellfest festival . OLD instruments and old langage . Is a french group ; her clip "run" is great too ; sory for my bad english .

The instrument you were wondering about is called a Morin Khuur or horse head fiddle.

The Hu is great. Been meaning to see them for a while.

Oh, he can get much, much, lower! Lol! Great reaction!

And master horsemen

I agree on how interesting non Western music is. I started listening to world music about two years ago and barely ever listen to Western music any more. Just listened to two Taiwanese girls play "Sound of Silence" on traditional instruments and it was beautiful.

Watch The Hu's Black thunder. Like a real movie tho

The translation is fine besides I think you’re reacting to the subtitled video.

#HANGoverGANG TOTALLY ENJOYED THISBAND AND SONG ! THANK YOU

Need to see the video with Jacoby Shaddix lead singer from Papa Roach!

6:10 i can only understand some certain words that we share in our language but it doesn't look like auto-translate sir. animals with blue fur are popular in both turkic and mongolic mythology. most of the times it would be a wolf but a lion with a blue mane doesn't sound so unusual. cheers.

The 2 stronger instruments are called Morin Khurrs or horse head fiddles the guitar is called a Tovshuur or Mongolian lute. You should listen to black thunder parts 1 and 2 there is a part 3 but I can't spell it but it starts bii biylgee I think that's how you spell it.

re the lion. from Wikipedia. The Snow Lion (sometimes spelled snowlion; Tibetan: གངས་སེང་གེ་, Wylie: gangs seng ge; Chinese: 雪獅) is a celestial animal of Tibet. It is the emblem of Tibet, representing the snowy mountain ranges and glaciers of Tibet,[1] and may also symbolize power and strength, and fearlessness and joy, east and the earth element.[2][3] It is one of the Four Dignities.[4] It ranges over the mountains, and is commonly pictured as being white with a turquoise mane.

It's not about going to war! - It is more like; Don't mess with us, then we obliterate you!. - There are many layers to it though, as the Protector, the Garuda is involved also. - It's very old and it have both old culture and deep roots into Buddhism also. - If your view is towards eternalism, you are totally wrong. If your view is towards nihilism, you are even more wrong. - Not only do you have to wrap your head around what Buddhism really is about, you also need to know some history from that time. The whole Khan history and certainly not the way Khan is portrait in the western history books. - One line in the song give a very important clue: If you come with bad intention, we will obliterate you and together with the rest, it also states that, no matter how the enemy appear, it will be met by the correct antidote. - Genghis Khan was not the only Khan. Some of them had a very close and strong relations with some of the greatest Buddhist masters at that time. - The average Joe have no clue about what the text is about. Even a beginner on the Buddhist path like me, who have studied and practiced for 25 years, still have long way to go, before really getting all the details right. - It is so much more deep and profound than you can imagine. - Together with many of the other comments, I hope you get a feel, that this is so much more than you can understand. I will actually say; It is a great blessing that you even get to hear it! But it takes a razor sharp mind and very openminded person, to get that understanding. - Glad you liked and enjoyed it though! 😎❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Travis, the Hu have some pretty intense music if you are in to it. I would suggest reacting to the Hu with Lzzy Hale singing the "Woman Song". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mdN1U9NvuIc.html

Great reaction. 👍 Other videos from The HU: Yuve Yuve Yu - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v4xZUr0BEfE.html This Is Mongol - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Y2gK4n35hw.html The Great Chinggis Khaan - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pD1gDSao1eA.html Sad But True (Metallica cover) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QpxA_ZxGX_M.html There are some more, but I think that would be a good start.

Very interesting reaction to this very tribal song. BTW, this captioning is professionally translated, An auto-translated one would be full of grammatical absurdities and often nonsensical wording. Our culture may not be familiar with the phrase "lion of blue mane," but I suspect Khan's horde would have known what he meant, even if poetic or allegorical.

Very Kurosawa vision.

This song. Sorry with him.

Hi, love your channel. Could you please react to the song Liberty by Lauren Kellie. Its a patriotic song

Please add Below by Leprous to your list. It will not net you a lot of views, I must admit, but I think you'd appreciate the music.

It's throat singing-Mongolian. Your auto translate is really off!

Not relevant to the Hu, but Tati in Jinjer Pisces should interest you it u based on this reaction....just do no research, no Wiki ahead of time
