Fun Fact: In the show, after Alastor threatens Husk when he mentions Alastor's "leash", a few notes of "Alastor's Game" play right afterwards! Very fitting considering the subject of the song, and the fact that the people who worked on the song also helped write the songs for Hazbin Hotel.
OH I DIDN’T EVEN RECOGNIZE IT!! It’s the little tune he plays when he says “Good talk, my good man! Alllways nice to catch up” right? The beginning notes of AG
One song you def need to listen to that's hazbin hotel related is Black Gryphon's final song after Hazbin Hotel released "Thank You And Goodnight!" It stars a bunch of the original cast singing goodbye
I also highly recommend checking out Thank You and Goodnight. It's a really good last hurrah from the voice actors of the original pilot and it's absolutely beautiful.
I think “Despite having overdosed & ended up comatose” is the way Angel died, not about Val. Cause this is a fan song that came out after the pilot, so way before anyone knew anything about him wanting to break himself
I don't understand why "Addict" is considered a "Fan Song", if it is an "official video" that was created, animated and uploaded to the official RU-vid channel of the series creator herself. 🤔
because a fan wrote the song. The song was first released as a fan single on Silva Hound's RU-vid channel. Vivienne liked it so they made it into A fully-animated music video. just look up Silva Hound Addict on youtube and youll see the original video that came out before the animated version did
10:15 Alastor was the host of a radio show and a serial killer in Louisiana back in the nineteen twenties. And in nineteen thirty-three, Alastor was shot by a hunter who mistook him for a dear. That's why you can see an X on his forehead and why he has dear antlers and hooves.
Hi! I'm a rather new fan (since the hazbin reactions), but I really enjoy your content! I remember reading somewhere that alastor was a serial killer in his life and he died because a hunter confused him for a deer as he was burying a victim in the woods.Take it with a grain of salt tho! Would make a lot of sense. Greetings from Austria!
My first thought when I saw this pop up was "please have One Hell Of A Team in here." It is by far my favourite fan song just by the sheer genius of its writing. It amazes me how much the meaning of the chorus changes when the exact same words are sung by two different people. Charlie trying to convince Alastor that if he gives her cause a real chance, they could do so much good in the world. And Alastor trying to get Charlie, the literal princess of hell, on his side to fulfill whatever it is that he is attempting to achieve. That much nuance off of a chorus of a FAN SONG that mind you was released before the Amazon Show aired, that can't be beat for me. (And fine I'll admit I'm a sucker for a good rock riff (and Ama Lee))
The idea behind "one hell of a team" is they are both trying to convince the other to conform to their ideals because they both know that together they will be one hell of a team.
Some people have said the person that was in Cherri’s moments in Addict may of been a toxic ex boyfriend she had in the past that ruined her views on relationships and may her feel that no one would love her outside her body. So she does things like drugs and f**king randoms because of that. If so, that adds a layer of sweetness and tragedy to Sir Pentious, as he was the first person in a long time or even just the first time in general to genuinely love her and told her so….and then he “died” as soon as she heard it. You can even see at moments like the moment he’s blasted or when Lucifer asks if they want food how affected she is at it.
WOOOOOOOOO!!! Since we had to wait for the official series for about 4 years, these songs were all we had to fuel us for content, as well as the HuniCast streams (which, I could tell you more about!) These songs are a BOP though! Hope you have fun with them, Weeby! And always glad to help! Also Addict is no longer canon anymore, but it once was before the show got greenlit! Hope you find that interesting!
@@Cashcornpretty sure it was confirmed by the creator when people were asking how canon the pilot was. She said that the pilot was a “soft canon”, but that the one thing that was 100% not canon anymore was “Addict”.
If it's not Canon anymore then why does angel make reference to it in episode 4 when he takes the piss out of Val for not knowing how to count when they're being only three bills there
15:25 That's explored in Helluva Boss where Succubi and select individuals are able to go to Earth. They do that by either having the ability to, like Stolas using his Grim Moire, or have an Asmodian Crystal in the case of Succubi and Inccubi.
An animatic and song I recommend a lot is "Valentino", lmao, I know, it doesn't sound good, but it's about Angel and Vox's relationship with Val, and the animatic is amazing, it has a whole storyline and the song is very fun, the whole video is a masterpiece (and the art was made by one of the people who worked on the Addict MV too)
I’ve been wondering if he has some kind of link to earth. With the swamp area in his old room, along with the deer that was _definitely not_ from Hell. Of course, the Louisiana-esk spot could be his own recreation of a place from his past life, and maybe someone with canonical access to earth sells the venison, but it’s interesting to think about. From watching Supernatural, I’m used to demons popping up to earth to make deals. It would definitely be interesting to see Overlords have that ability in the show.
When you die and go to hell, you manifest into something that resembles how you died. In Alastor's case, he was a serial killer in the early 20th century, most likely around the 20s-30s when radio became super popular. He was also a hunter, and one night he was probably put hunting deer when he was suddenly shot in the head (where the x on his forehead is when he goes full demon mode) by another hunter who mistook him for a deer. So all of these things combined, him being very sadistic and stuff because he's a serial killer, the deer antlers and the ears because of what he hunted, and the x in between his eyes where he was shot, and also the radio of course because of when he died. And also his full demon form is based off the Wendigo, and you can even hear the Wendigo's cry in the background when he threatens Husk in the hallway if you listen closely.
Some demons can go to the human realm via summoning, (Lucifer says some details of his method in the his first song) and there are other alternatives, this is heavily explored in helluva boss, where there is a a book that can let you cross planes, also i remember the succubus having a crystal that can also travel to the human realm
also to answer 10:16 Alastor was a serial killer back on earth and he died by being shot by a hunter who mistook him as a deer which also then made him have a deer theme as a demon
I consider Addict pretty canon, as in the main series Angel makes a callback to part of the video, where Val is taking forever to count the three bills in the limo. "He had, like, three bills, and it took him, like, 30 minutes to count it. His eyes are so shit." He mentions it after Husk and Angel return to the Hotel in Ep 4.
After finishing hazbin hotel I would definitely recommend helluva boss since it's from the same creator, such a deep show the more you get into it, enjoy!
Cool note about the song makers Silva hound and Sam haft (half of thelivingtombstone) have each done official songs for Hazbin Hotel and Helluva boss. Also Gooseworxs the director of the digital circus also makes music for Hazbin and is a friend of Viv.
Addict is considered canon: • Angel Dust’s piloy voice actor sings • Angel mentions the scene in the limo to Husk when they get back to the hotel after “Loser, Baby” Alastor is in Hell due to being a cannibalistic serial-killing radio host in the 1920s-1933 (when he died due to being mistaken as a dear by a hunter when he was disposing of a body (hence looking like a dear)) If you get the chance, listen to Paranoid DJ’s Hazbin Hotel songs. They have some non-canon story in them to help understand what’s going on in the song
Here is Alestor's backstory from what I've heard.. He was a murderer and cannibal (that's how he knows Rosie) and one day as he was barring the body of a victim in a forest a hunter saw him, thought he was a deer and shot him in the head. That's how he died and why he has deer features 😀
@_.xandxr._4714 I ment that's how they met in hell I know she's hell born ':D. Like since he was a cannibal when he was alive he hangs out with Rosie sometimes in cannibal town :D. (Although I did hear that some people are questioning whether or not she is hell born because "the announcement of her being hell born was "old" and its maybe "not cannon" anymore. Some are even saying she might be an angel but like bruh just cuz Vaggie turned out to be an angel doesn't mean that every time we meet a somewhat nice demon "ThEy mIgHt bE An aNgEl" 😑)
@@_.xandxr._4714 I don't think is ever said that Rosie is a hellborn, pretty sure its a fan theory. Also Rosie is a confirm Overlord which has been stated to be made of powerful human souls.
5:30 there is a fan comic i saw dubbed of pretty much the whole hotel banding together to kill Val. starts with Husk, then Vaggie, Niffty, and finally Alastor all walking out like a posse
So, first off, you should totally watch Helluva I’d love to see you react to that! Second, what did Alastor do in life that was so bad? We I don’t know if it’s canon anymore, but he was actually serial killer who *apparently* got shot while hiding a body in the woods when someone thought he was a deer (hence the x on his forehead in the show whenever he’s in demon form and his deer antlers). So him now saying ‘the things I did up there were high school but now I’m going for my degree” is.. mildly concerning lol
Saw a therapist theorize that Nifty taking part of Val's fur as part of her "collection" might be like when a serial killer takes a trophy. She might want to punish that bad boy.
Actually, in this selection, there are actually three songs featuring official VAs from tbe Hazbin Pilot. Addict, Insane and Heaven 2 Hell all featured (or were written by) the original pilot cast for their respective focal characters: Michael Kovach as Angel Dust in Addict, and Gabriel Brown (Black Gryph0n) as Alastor in Insane and H2H, and Elsie Lovelock as Charlie in H2H (Gabe and Elsie were both only the singing VAs for their respective characters in the pilot, but I think it still counts!) Additionally, Silva Hound and Black Gryph0n have both collectively done a few more songs featuring the other characters and their pilot VAs. Silva has done songs for Alastor (Radio Play), Charlie (Redemption Arc) and Husk (Royal Flush), with each song featuring the official VAs for each character (both Edward Bosco and Gabe as Alastor, Elsie as Charlie (again), and Mick Lauer as Husk). He's also done a song for Vox (Vox's Interlude), but no official VAs are in that one, and he's done a song for the spin-off show, Helluva Boss (also worth a watch) called Root of All Evil, which does feature one of that shows official VAs as well). Black Gryph0n only adds one more song to the HH collection, but it's a good one. It's called Thank You and Goodnight, and it was released as a final farewell from the pilot Hazbin cast, so it features himself as Alastor, Michael as Angel, Krystal la Porte as Cherri, Michelle Marie as Niffty, and Elsie as Charlie once again. Husk the character is in the song too (and Vaggie does appear in the background of the music video), but Mick Lauer isn't credited, so I can't confirm or deny if he was voiced by his OG VA, but at least everyone else with lines in the song was. Finally, someone else who does a lot of songs for this universe of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss is PARANOiD DJ. Most of the time, he will voice the male characters himself, but he has also worked with the official (pilot) VAs as well from time to time, most notably with his Cherri Bomb song Pop! (Cherri's Assualt), which features Krystal la Porte), along with a couple of Helluva Boss songs. They are definitely all artists I would recommend checking out, even if you go beyond their songs for this fandom!
The person cheri sings about in her segment was supposed to be in the zoophobia hell arc which is where most of the hazbin characters come from he hasn't appeared anywhere else though so its interesting zoophobia was an old project Viv had, she said she might revisit it but besides the first comic, concept art, and a youtube short there isnt much of it
On the off chance that you decide to make a part 2, I know of a few great fans songs, mostly about Alastor! "Let's See A Smile" also by Divide Music who worked on "One Hell of a Team" "Can't Be Saved" by Fabvl especially if you like the more emo/rock vibes "Hazbin Hotel" by DaddyPhatSnaps ft JT Music another banger that is just having fun with the song. I'm sure there are tons of others, Hazbin Hotel seems to have a big following in the nerdcore artist scene.
I'd highly recommend 'My Machine' by PARANOiD DJ. It's both a great song, and also an interesting look into how the fanbase saw Sir Pentious back when the only official media we had was the pilot.
Alastor on earth was a radio show host, and also a cannibal and murderer. One time as he was hiding one of his victims in a forest, he got shot in the head by a hunter who had confused him for a deer. This is why Alastor's design resembles a deer. Also another cool fact us that when he takes his extra creepy form, you can see an X on his forehead, which is where he got shot.
The one in the puddle is actually Angel's cousin its touched on in the comics that got made a ways back who hilariously has a relationship with Sir Pentious but uhhh given some show events that should be interesting to see what happens in the future of the show
You would also probably enjoy checking out some songs from Paranoid DJ. He was working off of the pilot and some hints from Vivziepop only, so a lot of interpretations of the characters are now proven to be wrong, but he still had some amazing ideas. I still love his interpretation of Val's and Vox's relationship you see in "Eye's on Me". He does a ton of character exploration in the songs. I believe he did the following characters: Husk: We're Sure to Drown Angel: Use Me Up Sir Pentious: My Machine Cherri: POP! (Cherri's Assault) Alastor: Smile Like You Mean It Valentino: Get Hooked Lucifer: Change the Order (One of my absolute favorites, even if is a completely different version of the character. Like I said, he was working off the pilot and hints from tweets) Paranoid DJ also has a ton of great songs for the Helluva Boss team from Season 1. I cannot recommend his music enough. He is an amazingly skilled creator and vocalist, with so much character exploration in each of the songs. Another amazing rabbit hole to work your way through.
15:21 Funny you should mention demons visiting Earth, there's this cool show on RU-vid called "Helluva Boss" and it takes place in the same universe as Hazbin Hotel! In Helluva Boss the main cast can pretty easily go to Earth using magic, even Hellborn demons like Succubi can visit Earth and they're (supposedly) weaker than Sinners or Overlords like Alastor.
I like how in Poison the lyrics say "Addicted to this feeling" in reference to Addicted and what a coincidence that Angel says "another rush of poison" it's almost they got that idea for Poison from that part of the lyrics just like you said Sorry if something doesn't makes sense I'm not an native English speaker
Alastor was a serial killer that killed the worst of the worst and he died because he was hiding a body when he got shot by a hunter (they thought he was a dear). And he is a dear in the show for that reason
15:16 Given that Helluva Boss is kinda sorta parallel canon, it's not entirely impossible that Alastor could find a way back to the living world. But he would attract some serious attention from very powerful demon lords in the process. I don't think it would end well for him. Basically, there are many demons who can go to the living world, but usually it's just Succubi and high-ranking demon lords. Alastor is powerful, but he's just a sinner at the end of the day.
Alastor was a Serial killer and a radio host from New Orleans in the 1900s he died in 1933. If u want more about him check out his official wiki on Google. It gives his entire description about his life and death. Love your videos btw❤
I love how the songs in the living tombstone made a fan song and after that Sam Haft (one of the two people in The Living Tombstone) was brought into the show to make the songs with Andrew for the first season of Hazbin. (and Helluva boss)
I am not sure how cannon Addict is but it’s referenced in episode 4. After everything that happened and Angel and Husker returned to the hotel, Angel says “it took him like ten minutes to count three bills, his eyes site is terrible.” It was the limo scene before Val…yeah.
I love the dynamic between Alastor and Charlie their interactions are always really amazing. As for Charlie and Vaggie I really don’t like how the show made it seem like Vaggie lying for years was okay. Like lying is not okay if you are in a relationship. Alastor is mysterious but yet he isn’t flat out mean all the time.
Despite having overdose and ending up comatose: I think he's describing how he actually died. If it's not yet obvious, the voice of angel in addict is the of VA from the trailer:)
If you decide to do something like this again I suggest the songs smile like you mean it (Alastor) and we're sure to drown (husk) by paranoid DJ. I feel like they get overlooked a lot in the fandom even though they're so good.
I think In the song insane where He’s sing and it sounds like he is talking to some one it’s mimzy because in episode 5 when mimzy is talking about him she pretty much talks about the fun they had when they were alive
When Alastor Was Alive Alastor Is A Cannibal He Was A Serial Killer And He Loves His Mama So Much His Dad Is Not A Good Dad And Husband You Can Say That Alastor Is A Mama’s Boy His Mama Raised Him Right How To Treat Women Right He Gets Along Very Well With Women No Guys He Doesn’t Like Being Touched Some People That He Can Let Touch Him in His 30’s He Got Shot In The Head Cause He Was Mistaken Of A Deer And He Was Mauled To Death By Dogs When Alastor Was Alive He Had his Own Radio Show Every Girl Wants Him He Ignores Them Back Then Around The 1920 or 1930’s Alastor Doesn’t Know What Ace Means When Roise Said Ace in the hole in the series
Its possible to go to earth in vivziepops other serial helluva boss there is in fact a person that can go to earth (the guys name is Stolas) he has a book that can make portal to earth. Edit: helluva boss (Vivziepops second serial ) happens in the same universe as hazbin hotel.
Alastor was a serial killer when he was alive but he had a moral code where he would only kill REAL messed up people, so I like to think insane is him meeting one of the people he's murdered (since ofc they're sinners).
Actually Charlie might be in quite a bit of trouble with that deal. She settled on a favor to be named later which is so damn dangerous. She did make it a little better by making it a favor to be named later that doesn't hurt anyone. It's going to be a crazy conclusion for that deal though
While all of these are fan works, some of the people who made them are also directly affiliated with the series in one way or another. Sam from The Living Tombstone is the creator of the music in the main series, Black Gryph0n was the Pilot voice for Alastor and Sylvia Hound is a regular collaborator with Vivziepop
Hey, you probably already saw something saying this, but I think you will like watching Helluva Boss, it's from the same universe as Hazbin Hotel and it shows more of Hell and Earth on the show. And nice react, you have a nice energy and many interesting comments about the videos!
I just discovered your channel not too long ago and really love your reactions to Hazbin! Thanks for making such fun content and awesome commentary, can't wait to watch your reactions for Helluva Boss :)
Addict isn't really canon to the series, but it shows a bit of Angel's background, how he feels about Valentino's abuse, and a bit of his relationship with Cherry Bomb Also, I could definitely see Vaggie after the "One hell of a team" song being like: Alastor, I'm gonna kick your fucking ass! 😂
There’s actually a mini comic of how Angel got the offer to join the hotel originally, which I’m assuming is still canon, if you want to react to that.
Me and the boy are gonna be the main villains on the next season so, whatever comes into the main casts, that's what they get for standing against the vees.
I'm fairly sure this is Alastor's backstory (his life in the mortal world): SPOILERS BEWARE He was a serial killer while he was human and he was killed by a hunter who mistook him for a deer (hence the atlers in his full demon form) and shot him (hence the X in between his eyes). The reason why a hunter mistook him is because Alastor was in a forest (or something like that) and was hiding a body.
Comotose actually refers to Angel (then Anthony)'s earthly death -he did in fact die of a drug overdose. I blame his father. (All Angel's extended family is in hell, except for his twin sister, whom we see during Saint Peter's song Welcome to Heaven. I don't know if there's a mother figure in his family actually.)
