We React To Twenty One Pilots: Car Radio 

Seeing metalheads hear Tyler scream for the first time _will never get old,_ oh my gosh

Are we going down a TOP rabbit hole? Cause I’m here for it!! Lane boy, Migraine Holding on to you, Ode to sleep, the whole Trench album! Do it! You won’t be sorry! Love you guys! 💛🔥

TØP definitely don't just do one thing, every song sounds different yet undeniably like Twenty One Pilots, it's crazy, I don't know how they do it! Loved your reaction to them and would love to see some more.

i don't see a comment that says it below but yeah, this is indeed a real concert. they got super big in 2015, but this was before that. tyler - the singer - would later (but pre-insane-fame) remark that that group, about a thousand people, is probably the threshold number for a crowd that could still be considered a hometown crowd, people you could recognize and say hey how's it going how's your mom doing. they have a really intuitive knack for interacting with different types of audiences. still though, 5-6 years, one grammy, and the first record in the digital age to have every track go platinum down the line, tyler and josh both can still gesture for the crowd to part and they part. with few exceptions, people are respectful. every show ends with both members of the band stood atop platforms held up by the hands of fans at the barricade over their own heads (both sides of the audience also hold up one drum each for the final big moment.) there's a lot of trust between the band and the fans, and we're proud of it.

Both tyler and josh are christians so they have lots of religious imagery in their songs although they don't consider themselves a christian band. yeah, i think the hair shaving is a sign of the level of emotional turmoil he is experiencing and needing a fresh start, it is also used by the band in videos to show how the stories they are telling are cycles by having their hair different lengths at different times. this was shot at a real concert, theres behind the scenes footage floating around the internet, would have been amazing to be a part of the video. tyler talks in a lot of his music about his doubts and struggles with his faith but also really pushes people to think seriously about what they believe and why, he often equates not thinking to sleeping (there's faith and theres sleep, we need to pick one please, because faith is to be awake and to be awake is for us to think and for us to think is to be alive and i will try with every rhyme to come across like i am dying to let you know you need to try to think).

They are a duo - Tyler is the lead singer, he also writes all the lyrics, produces the music as well as plays multiple instruments - Josh is the drummer and has a very unique style (a lot of people will say he's similar to Travis Barker) Everything they do is 100% authentic and very well calculated - so if you ever think to yourself, i wonder if he's relating this back to Job, he probably is (they are christian and do have christian themes throughout their music, typically their struggles - but always buried in metaphors) - they are known for mixing deeper messages with upbeat music - they mix and mesh a bunch of different genres - some songs will sounds rock/alternative/rap/hip hop/raggae/ukelele/etc if you really get into them, their music ties into an overarching storyline that is very interesting - you can still listen to the music on its own and understand it, but it also ties into their own world for their fans to get to know them more, i'd recommend: Migraine Ode to Sleep Lane Boy Trees (Live from Fox Theater) You've both probably heard their huge hits: Stressed Out, Ride, and Heathens (but after you get to know them, you'll go back and listen to those songs completely differently)

When I went to my first TOP concert back when I was 16 and this song played, it was very ethereal hearing the audience mimic the “oooooh”s near the end of the song. It’s really an indescribable positive feeling.

You should react to more of their songs, like "Lane Boy", "Holding on to you", "Chlorine", "Heathens", etc

Never gave them a chance, WOW I was blown away. Sleeping on this band was a big mistake. Thank you for this one awesome reaction 🔥🔥

Tyler often uses cars, lanes, roads, highways, a driving as a parallel for life, in this particular song as you might have figure it out its about coping mechanism and how when we don't have anything else to distract our minds we have to deal with our troubling minds and even tough he tries to encourage us to think, I love TØP because he is involved in everything he sings, he usually sais "we", or he makes us understand that he also walks this anxiety, depression, self destructive thoughts roads, and that we can get trough it together

Getting out of rehab 6 years ago, knowing I wasn’t cured of my addiction, THIS song saved me. THIS band saved me. I’ve been sober since and often think back to a moment that felt the most impactful for me and it comes to this song/band.

Tyler Joseph, the singer, is a Christian and nothing he does with his music is coincidental so I 100% think he is taking it from Job... Can't believe I never made that connection

This song means so much to me. The way that I interpret it is the bad destructive thoughts you can have when you have depression and anxiety (like me). When there's no distraction and you're alone with your thoughts, it can be violent. And then he puts on the mask which is a literal version of the mental "mask" one might put on to seem "normal" to others around you. Then he does the show which is a distraction for him and a way to get out his emotions. But then after the show he takes off his mask and the cycle begins again.

Hey guys, good first song to react to. As a 47 year old man who has seen these guys in concert 4 times, the whole vessel album is a good starting point which is where Car Radio came from. Lots of songs about metaphors, mental illness, anxiety, depression(which Tyler, the singer suffered from). He wrote every song. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Don’t just listen to the awesome sound, must pay attention to they lyrics(so crazy and original). Next song should be Ode to sleep(introduction to TØP) followed by “guns for hands” and “migraine”(or vise versa) and eventually their live stuff(any song from Fox theater). Thanks a bunch for the great job!!!

Hey guys I am Robert I requested this and omg you knocked it out of the park thank you so much this band literally saved my life and I just can't thank you enough!!!!!!!! You guys freaking Rock

Oh, you need to do more. Beware though, it is a rabbit hole and you need to start from the beginning. There’s a whole lore and concept albums and oh, too much to even explain without sounding like a crazy person.

I've never heard this before. It hits home for me so much. Love it!

This song is off their 'Vessel' album (my favorite) which you should start with that album if you want to understand the full scope of TOP's music because they all connect with each other but sound completely different at the same time.. Vessel, Blurryface, Scaled and Icy in that order.. Holding onto You and Migraine are really good songs and the music videos always tell a story

Car Radio is my favorite TOP song, and I'm always happy to see people enjoying it. Everything TOP does is amazing!

oh man i cannot *wait* for you guys to go down the tøp rabbit hole. and don't worry. it's never too late to dive in. this shit is not bygone, it is thriving.

Every once in a while a band ( or song) comes along that transcends genre. I truly believe that this is one of them. Their lyrics touch us deep in our primal souls. The beat is fun, and, for that matter, they are fun to watch! So much energy and conviction in their performance!!

You guys nailed it with the Job reference. Tyler, while he’s very good at disguising it, puts a lot of his religion in his music, so I could definitely see that being the inspiration.

My fave is Heavydirtysoul. The "spoken word" kind of feeling will grow on you. Their vibe is very well written and executed.

Subscribing because I can't wait to see your twenty one pilots journey! I woukd recommend sticking with their older songs first to get a feel for what they are about before jumping into the new stuff, which is very story based and metaphorical. I would recommend Ode to Sleep next. It's the first song from Vessel, which is the album Car Radio is from.

Do everything they have ever done. You’ll like it all. They are super original and unique and the lyrics are the best I’ve ever heard from any artist. My favourite band of all time. I’m adding a subscription to your channel for more twenty one pilots

You should def do my TOP! They have a Storyline kinda going on atm, it started as a trilogy but the the most recent music video they put out linked back to the original 3 videos they did from the Trench album. So def check out those songs! In this order if you do it! Would love to see what you think of it. plus the videos are incredible lol Song Order: "HeavyDirtySoul", "Jumpsuit", "Nico and the niners", "Levitate", "Chlorine", "Saturday", and then "The Outside" Chlorine and Saturday will seem a bit out of place but they do connect to the final video :)

Fun fact, when Tyler says "Sometimes quiet is violent", you can actually see him not sing or move his mouth.

That Job comment was actually really insightful, I definitely see how that goes with the theme of this song. Great thought!

I watch a lot of reactions channels especially for twenty one pilots (TOP) but no one compares to you two. I know I commented a lot but I watched this video ten times or more. Lol. I sent numbers of ppl over here today and they all love your reaction.

Keep doing TOP reactions! You will be blown away with all their music. The Lyrics, the voice, the sound is so unique.

Damn that tune was awesome, added it straight to my playlist...Good job whoever re quested it and as always loved watching u 2 and vibing with u mwah xo

Migraine, Chlorine, Heavydirtysoul, and all Trench album, are my favs. Tyler and Josh saved my life multiple times.

Can’t wait to see more! I recommend “Guns for hands” my twenty one pilots Great vid!

Look at how many new subscribers you got just today. By the end of the year you could have 75,000 fans easily. We love and back our boys. Thousands of us are alive today because of these two. That's no exaggeration either. Their music ain't for everyone. We are THE FEW, THE PROUD AND THE EMOTIONAL. Yes Tyler got his car radio back . He mentions it in another song.

Like Nf they tell a story. Nf actually mentions them in a song. You need to start at beginning so you can go on a journey with Tyler. ODE TO SLEEP. OMGGGG. ITS A LOT OF RAP BTW ERIC. IM GOING TO JOIN YOUR PATROEN LATER TODAY AND WELL ALL MY SONGS ARE GOING TO BE THESES GUYS. FYI only 2 members in band

Yes. Real concert..and yes when this song is done LIVE we all do this

TOP to me are one of the most interesting groups in mainstream music. The way they write songs totally works. It makes complete sense to me why they sell out stadiums.

Twenty one pilots is my sons favorite band. We took him to see them last weekend. I’ve didn’t really listen to their music. I’ve been to countless shows of all genres I’ve seen Pink Floyd twice. Twenty one pilots is the best concert I’ve ever been too.

The symbols and colors and every lyric has specific meaning. I actually did not like the “hits” the first year or so I knew about them. But I took my kids to see them live in 2019 and it was the greatest live experience I Ever for me. That is what opened me up to the journey.

A great band guys and love you guys as well!

Tyler does some really good word play and a lot of the songs and music videos feel really raw in an emotional context

I'm late to this reaction but was worth to watch it. Been thru all your NF reactions and I'm here for all your TOP reacts too. Their catalog is deep and a journeys worth like NF

Yes, PLEASE delve into their discography. Loved your analysis and reactions!

Amazing point about the Job symbolism! I bet that was part of Tyler's intention as there are a lot of biblical/spiritual references in the music

My favorite TOP song, of the ones I have heard so far, is RIDE. I really LOVE that one, like this one too! Great reaction guys!!

Saw one of their shows during the Trench tour and I was blown away. Left there and started my love affair of this band. Best show of my life. Now I’ve got tickets to show 6. Would love to see you do more of their music.

It's so cool whenever I get to watch the birth of a new top fan.

New subscriber here for more TØP. I’ve seen them three times and they are amazing! Car Radio live is something everyone should experience.

Welcome to the journey guys!!! brace yourselves!!! love your faces and reaction!!! you felt it!!!! yeah!! I recommend follow a certain order Ode to sleep, guns for hands, holding on to you, Fall away (live), migrain (in the live room), trees ... then into Blurryface album...and then into Trench! album! It's a whole world, a huge narrative... sooo much to learn, experience and enjoy... They are soooo talented!! Welcome again!

Awesome reaction! Loved watching your flashes of recognition, themes we can all relate to. Yes, TOP has lyrics and layers upon layers that have something for everyone. Eric - Tyler has a message for you - give Jumpsuit a listen. This band, our band, is def a perfect fit for you two. 💯 TOP is genre-bending and genre-blending at its finest. If you start this journey, you will be so elated you finally woke up and journeyed down the TOP rabbit hole...!!! They do not disappoint. They have something for everyone, and then some more! Def watching for you to dive deeper into TOP! 💛💛

I started watching your videos from your Backslide reaction and I am so glad you guys have a playlist dedicated to TØP. It's so much fun watching you guys enjoy their music even -- or especially -- the emotionally heavier ones. Thank you and God bless to you guys! Stay Alive ||-//

I watch these first time hearing videos all the time this is definitely one of the better ones. Some people didn’t get his metaphors in lyrics. I’m a booking manager and scout musicians all the time I love when people are picking up on subtle components.

Great reaction! Tyler had his car radio stolen in college. That is where he got the inspiration for this song. There is a video out there of a small venue concert where a young girl gives them an actual car radio!

I am totally here for it if you guys go down the rabbit hole, so many amazing songs by these guys!

out of all the reactions, you guys are who i agree with most. what you took away from the song is the same thing i did and can see the real meaning behind it. on the same note, i hope whatever trauma you guys went through that made you able to understand these lyrics is over and youre doing much better.

8:10 yes there are some concerts that twenty One pilots will announce that they are planning to do some form of video or something they haven't done one in a while but basically they announced that during one of the songs or performances they're going to ask the crowd to fall in line and like set up something for them so they can record a video and this is one of those instances that they asked the crowd to do something for them. Tyler is definitely religious if you listen to all their albums in order you can hear him slowly walking away from deeply religious music and more to like cryptically religious like his religion is still an influence in his music but it's less of like a forefront influence and more of like a guiding influence now you don't see as many direct Christian and biblical references and influences in his work as much as he used to so I would definitely say that the cutting the hair could 100% be exactly what you were thinking of if it's a biblical thing then it's highly probable that Tyler knows about it and was possibly referencing it in that act in the video

Great reaction to this song - welcome to your Ride ( pun intended 😉) with TØP I can tell the more you check out the more you’ll love it, I can tell. Looking forward to seeing more

I used to love them lol I was not a die hard fan so bc of their hiatus I stopped paying attention to them but now I'm falling again bc of this reaction lol, it reminded me why I loved them

I am here for this journey!! Keep going because the Clique will watch every single reaction. You guys really get them so far and you're only in the beginning ||-//

TOP are one of the few artists that I can listen to every album without skipping a song. They are incredible!

Wonderful and fun to see you liked it. Omg, they're so different, every song is different. Extremely genius, but not for everyone. Hope to see you do more of them. Try old stuff like Fairly Local. And yes yes yes go to the trilogy. I'm 50y old and a fan, I can't be wrong,lol.

Tyler (Twenty One Pilots Singer) is a lyrical genius 👌🏽 I love your reactions, I'll be looking forward for more ToP in your channel

I never comment on RU-vid videos but a bout of insomnia brought me here and I’m loving it. Being a fan for so long, it’s so refreshing to see new fans experience it for the first time. Now I’m down a rabbit hole and watching all of your TOP reactions 😂

Awesome reaction. You guys are hilarious. Just subscribed. Hope to hear more TOP reactions

Oh man, so many good songs of theirs I think you guys would appreciate. You should definitely check out more!

Good stuff. Definitely venture out more. Jumpsuit would be a great second one. I love everything from their self titled to scaled and icy.

Love it keep going on this journey.

if you like twenty one pilots, give a check out to Half Alive. I think you'd dig Still Feel (the vid for sure) or "Arrow"

Please jump into this rabbit hole! I love TOP and FIR your reactions are always fun.

I'm an older guy who likes old country and jazz music who somehow got hooked on Blackpink music which brought me to your channel. Watching your U-turn at the beginning of the first Blackpink video you reacted to was inspiring to me. I've started watching your videos reacting to groups other than Blackpink and am really enjoying music I never thought I would. This is one of those videos. Well done guys. Keep up the great work.

I gotta say when I saw them live this was my favorite song they did. The audience participation was so much fun.

Love watching with you guys 🔥💯🔥

Yay I joined Patreon. ODE TO SLEEP

I'm new to the channel so I haven't yet seen what more you reacted to but this, Migraine, and Kitchen Sink are my favorites of theirs and when my brain tells me bad things.

I'm subscribing g for more Twenty One Pilots!! Start at the beginning.... its so worth it to listen to the progression!! He's all about mental health and early days have very "religious undertones" Best band and live shows are amazing. "Trees and speech" live from fox theater is a must see!!!

I'm not sure if anyone has said it but they also have a trilogy on their new album but for sure start early cause it's all good and its 2 guys who know how to fill a stage and involve their fans/crowd in videos found yall through the fIR reacts keep it up!

❤ it! They put on the best show by far! This song Phx 2018 was awesome.

love this reaction!! i hope you do more Twenty One Pilots!

You seen like nice people, subscribed! I've seen others do suggestions so I don't mean to burden you but could you maybe try Taxi Cab and kitchen sink? They're both very beautiful. Have a nice week!

Subscribed! Hoping against hope you guys pick up on more TøP reactions! 😁 This is their Vessel album, so stick with it - here’s some recommendations from the album: Ode to Sleep Migraine (Live Room performance is 🔥) Guns for Hands Holding in to You

21 pilots rock. So many hits. You guys should go on the Journey. Car Radio is awesome. I knew you 2 would love it.

The mv was all filmed with one ‘reasonably crappy’ handheld camera… incredible result, incredible song And YES, Tyler had his car radio stolen and this is how he felt about it

This was my favorite song in 4th grade and im so glad yall listened to it!!!!

Awesome reaction thank you, twenty one pilots brought me here and have subbed for more. Highly recommend sticking with songs off the same album, Vessel, for now. Ode to Sleep is a schizophrenic hot mess and it’s wonderful, the official mv gives good background to the band. From there Migraine, Holding on to you, Guns for hands are all awesome. If you want to get a feel for the genius that is their live shows check out Trees (live at the fox theatre).

They do this at concerts. They also crowds surfed on top of us at a concert and had people carrying them and their drum set through the crowd while they played. Theyre amazing

You gotta see them live. I didn't really get into their music until I got the chance to see there tour opening this year in St. Paul for the icy tour. Now I'm hooked.

I love your reactions so much!! ❤

Por favor chicos empiecen reaccionando a holding onto you y migraine y el resto de vessel, tienen un universo enorme y que pueden entender si reaccionan a toda su música en orden con sus álbumes

I really like your reactions but - I think I’m not the only one when I say I’m eager for a new NF reaction - a lot more in fact ;)

I don't know if someone else in the comments has said this, but this was shot in a small concert venue called the LC (I believe or the Newport - I can't remember) in Columbus and before they were very big. They asked everyone in the audience to go along with this concept and they nailed it. My buddy and I were there way in the back, but the place was on fire. He also wrote this song about his radio being stolen from his car when he was on OSU campus. It's a super great, moving, and powerful song, but also makes me laugh a little when I hear it because I got my radio and speakers stolen from my car on OSU campus around the same time (I think like a year later). Lol.

Grew up with 21 pilots love watching peoples reactions 😄

Yes I needed more tøp reactions please go down the rabbit hole!!!

I'm very excited to see your journey with them

Please please react to more from them …. Y’all won’t be disappointed… check out heavy dirty soul… ode to sleep … lane boy …. Awesome reaction guys

It would be great to see you guys react to more TOP. I recommend you take the journey with them, it's exquisite.

TOP isn't a "christian" band, but they do have a lot of subtle christian references and such, so the Job comment about shaving his head might not be entirely far off. a lot of their songs are about mental health and such too. enjoy the journey, they have a TON of videos for you to react to.

Imma need more of these

The ending where he falls backward literally just took my breath away.

I saw them in Reading festival and their show was absolutely amazing

Shy away, Lane boy, holding onto you, chlorine, and the hype are all amazing. And the song straight up is about someone stealing his car radio while he was in college
