OK as mentioned in my original post, I said I would post my
'favorite' negative reaction. This one's to King Crimson COTCK. On second listen, I decided it really
wasn't my 'favorite' at all, but even with the (likely) bit of acting in
here, it demonstrates, and reminds us prog-fans, of how badly some
people hate prog rock.. Kind of funny, in a way. |

^^^ I really like the Lost in Vegas reactions vids. I hadn't seen this one. I love their enthusiasm and passion for the music.

They get old pretty fast. The best ones are the Vegas guys when they
first discover early Sabbath and Bill Ward's drumming, as well as some of the Van Halen tracks. The best ones are when the instrumentalist blow their minds. But I think this is
the single most entertaining reaction video I've seen. |

I must admit I've never watched this type of videos, but I like what they say in general. I guess I have a lot to catch up, though I don't think I'll spend a lot of time on these type of things.

I think maybe they don't react to Yes because Yes aren't as high profile a band as Rush or Pink Floyd and haven't come across them(yet).

Can't stand that song or that album for that matter. All I hear on that song is how Rush were clearly influenced by Stevie Wonder. I don't like fusion, funk or jazz, and that's what I hear in YYZ, not prog rock, and certainly not prog metal, which those two guys mentioned. Those guys are fun though. But Irritating that one kept referring to "early prog"

I've noticed that Yes, especially Roundabout, has been a big request for George and Ryan. The reason they may have not done it is because of rights issues and/or getting blocked. I've seen very few Yes (also King Crimson) reactions, probably for the same reason. But there are some: this one of the Yes Album is heavily edited, (but ironically, another that Weaboo did of Close to the Edge is the entire uncut album). He does full albums where he can, and lets them run all the way without stopping where he can. I admit, I don't like Weaboo's reactions/commentary as much as George and Ryan, but at least he's one of the few that are diving heavy into the world of Classic Prog!

Yes they should make videos where the just sit quiet, listen to the whole song and not interact with their audience. No you don't "get" it properly this way but its possible to say something about what you're listening to, what is happening, whether that works for you or not - and why (+hopefully in an interesting sort of way).

Well, for sure I never though of comparing YYZ with Michael Jackson's Beat It.

He said that before he said something about hearing the "stages of prog blossoming." However, he did sort of correct himself later saying something like some people in the comments section might know different or something to that effect.

^but they said "early/beginnings of prog metal" at an earlier stage so i just figured they messed it up a bit while they were talking.

I've seen a few including the one for YYZ that is shown here. I would probably rather have them react after they have heard the whole song though instead of every twenty seconds. I understand copywrite reasons for not playing the whole thing but it's distracting.
These guys seem genuine but they really should do their homework first. Then maybe they wouldn't make assumptions like rush were an early prog band and statements like "I can hear the early stages of prog blossoming." WTF?  I understand not everyone has the insight and knowledge of this genre that we do but come on! Lol.Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - January 07 2019 at 14:18 |

^of course its not optimal music listening but this video has a another purpose. There's a special thrill in listening to-and enjoying music you discover and love together with a friend I can relate to as well.

You can't get properly a piece of music if you keep pausing it every 20 seconds

It reminds me of how wowed I was when I first heard YYZ and Moving Pictures generally back in high school.
I was looking for a reaction video to some of the music I most listen to. I found one for Magma's De Futura, and one for Tangerine Dream's Ricochet and a couple of Cardiacs ones, but I didn't find them interesting enough to post. I'd like to see a Puritans React to Comus or Kids React to Shub-Niggurath. Here's a Kids React to Rush's Tom Sawyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDsFzsi6EFk Not Prog, but here's a Reaction video to David Bowie's Life on Mars (language warning in effect): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7tFjdyyQho Edited by Logan - January 07 2019 at 12:24 |
