Sorry if someone has already posted this topic--just haven't been able to find it. Within the past year I've been watching a lot of music reaction videos,
especially first-time reactions to progressive and prog-related
tracks/performances. Mostly these are by Millennial/Hip-hop
generation-ers who are reacting to older music on their first listen,
most of them with little knowledge of the music/genre(s) they're
reacting to (or at least, so they claim--for some, probably not true).
Pink Floyd seems to be the most popular band to react to. A
lot of these vids are not so great, either because the reactions don't
seem genuine, or the listeners reactions/critiques are rather shallow.
But some are really good. My fave so far is posted below: A
positive reaction to Rush, YYZ, with interesting commentary. This is the
first listen by these guys (George and Ryan) to Rush. I like these guys
because their reactions seem genuine, and they also seem more honest in their commentary
than many (and there's a lot of prog they admit they don't personally
like though they may admire the musicianship on some level). I also have a fave negative reaction vid but I'll post it later. If you have favorite reaction videos, post them here. ------------- Z |

Very sympathetic guys having fun while genuinly enjoying the music... made me appreciate Rush a little more. If videos like this is the future of "reviews" I really wouldn't mind. A more conventional reviewer but I kind of like that Needle Drop-guy too. I guess he's considered kinda hipster but he's well articulated, feels genuine and open minded to me (+ likes plenty of prog). |

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" rel="nofollow - 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" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7tFjdyyQho |

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. |

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.

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).

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! ------------- Z |

| 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" |

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

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. ------------- Z |

Lost in Vegas guys are the best, they are very genuine and more importantly honest. Pretty much all the others are copying Lost In Vegas. If you notice a lot of the others are reacting to songs they have done already. Vegas guys did LZ "When the Levee Breaks", a very good one......then there is another 2 reactions showing up. The Vegas guys do not care for/like Dream Theater, other than As I Am they like that song, but it is more metal based. The first DT they did was Metropolis pt1, they did another DT and the reaction was the same. What I like is they react to old country/western songs too as they are trying to understand all genres. Rush are one of their favorites and they reference Rush a lot. The recent Boston reaction was very good...... -------------

Yea the Vegas guys are I think just making sure their videos don't get shutdown due to copyrights stuff, so they pause a lot. I have no problem because their reactions are about the music and lyrics and just a break down. Some songs they let play almost thru with no interruptions, I think it just depends how much they like the song. -------------

^ Yea I watched this one the other day, not surprised as all the other copy cat reactors have done this song. DT people reached out to the Vegas duo they said. They are not fans of DT, first song they did was Metropolis pt1 which original reaction was not good. This new song is more prog-metal vs Metropolis, the Vegas guys like metal, which is why they really liked As I Am. They did Symphony X~Wicked, and I was not expecting a good reaction...it was not. Songs like that are wayy too prog/weird/wonky/boring for non prog people. But still they are very good at having an open mind and giving honest feelings. I'm not a Patreon member but if you join you get access to their Yes~Roundabout reaction.... -------------

Posted By: zwordser
Date Posted: January 28 2019 at 11:28
Well, good to know they did a Yes reaction. Bad that Metropolis1 was the first thing these guys reviewed by DT. They are great reviewers, but they are basically rhythm/transition appreciators more than anything. I don't think they quite understand epic/symphonic composition, and even if they did, still might not like it much. And it ain't just George and Ryan; I've seen a few comments on Youtube confidently asking for the reviews of very complex or epic pieces, some of them with comments like ..."it'll blow you away". Or if its a comment on a video for a simpler/more straightforward song for a certain band encouraging the review of a more complex one by the same band, they'll say something like "OK, now I think you're ready for... [whatever epic by same band], as if they just know (whatever millenial/hip-hop reviewer) is gonna love it on first listen. More often than not, the resulting review is lackluster, insincere, or just negative. Perhaps a good example is the big request for George and Ryan to review 2112 after very positively reviewing YYZ (in my original post at the beginning) and Working Man (they also did Spirit of Radio, but I'm not sure if it was before or after 2112). At first they didn't want to do it, saying it was just too long, but finally decided to (I think under pressure from Rush fans). It wasn't a negative review, but you could tell they didn't like it near as much as YYZ or Working Man, and maybe it was a lot for them to absorb--I don't think they've done any more album sides/epics since. ------------- Z |

^ Well what you describe is why prog has been in downside for so long, nobody cares for side long songs. With the advent of digital/CD and the ability to skip on demand, has helped this part of prog struggle. Most (non-proggers) look at 10+ minutes songs as a waste of time and boring. There is some truth here, if not done well for the whole time a 20min song can be boring at times. Nobody is ready to hear 2112 in today's world. Can you imagine what their (or anyone else) would react to Thick As A Brick?? That would be brutal.......Especially that they are more into hard rock/metal than folk/symphonic prog. If they don't like it then they tell it like they hear it, which I am perfectly fine with. I don't expect them to love let alone like prog. What I appreciate is they recognize the LZ~When The Levee Breaks as being a blues based song and loving the harmonica.....They get it. -------------

^ By and large true that most do not care about side-long pieces, but there are exceptions: positive reviews, including some with depth of analysis, including this one. Now, I should say, these "Enoma" folks reacted very positively to 2112 (moreso than George and Ryan), but their reaction to the Fountain of Lamneth, I thought, was more sincere and insightful--so that's what I've posted here. It was actually nice for me to see/hear this, after not listening to FoL for such a long time., and good to see a little love for it, as I don't think there are many (or any?) others reacting to it. ------------- Z |

With the overwhelming number of reactions to more popular bands, like Rush, Pink Floyd, and Queen that are out there, its nice to finally see some (relatively few) reactions to less-known bands, like this one to Camel. This guy is always brief, and to me seems honest in his reactions (and he reacts to A LOT of music). In all the reactions I've seen of his, I haven't seen him get so excited over Camel--especially his reaction to Nimrodel... It's amusing to see him use words like "Filthy", "disgusting", and "heavy callisthetics" (which means he really likes it). ------------- Z |

I missed your response before. Having opera singers react to Queen with Freddie Mercury doesn't surprise me. I have heard various operatic singers singing Queen songs, Mercury has strong vocals, and Queen can be very operatic (think Bohemian Rhapsody) and theatrical. Freddie Mercury recorded an album called Barcelona with an opera soprano called Montserrat Caballé. Having opera singers react to Crunk, or virtuoso musicians reacting to The Shaggs might present some amusement due to the contrast. When looking up Reaction videos I did notice many Queen ones. |

Agreed. I usually avoid these ones anyway.

Or seeing the confused look on their faces for a song that I also thought was confusing the first time.

I have watched many of them, but I only appreciate the Lost in Vegas boys. They just come across as more genuine and honest and also they review a broad array of music. I could give a horses rear about country, but find it entertaining when I watch them review country. I watch them when I am bored, not because they are posting something or I have to see what they are doing. Like anything else it's entertainment and yea it's another spin on music we love. -------------

I had watched various Kids React and the like videos (due to one of my children) before this topic (the comments can be funny), but hadn't watched these kinds of Reaction videos before. It's not really for me either, but it was rather interesting to experience and fun to comment on in this discussion. I'm game to check out new-to-me things, and I do like to at least read people's early reactions to new-to-them things be it positive or negative, though I certainly do prefer positive feedback on the whole (that's part of the appeal of internet forums to me). When it comes to youtube vids, such a discovery as the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series thanks to my kid is more my thing. |

Reaction vids get old for me when I watch too many, but it takes quite a few before I need a break. I agree that they can be "refreshing" in a way. Its easy to see why many people like them by looking at the comments of those viewing/liking-- things like "...Ahh, to listen to [whatever band] for the first time again!". So it seems to be a way to vicariously re-live discovering certain bands/songs. Its also just nice to see people who don't normally listen to prog discover it, and better to react positively to it. ------------- Z |

I didn't like it, but calling a Freewill "childish" (if I remember correctly) was rather laughable to me.

^Well I'm still entertained - but I've only watched a couple of Lost in Vegas and the one with that unsympathetic dork who hated In the Court.. in total. With the latter guy I can agree with Davesax1965 while Ryan and George I find entertaining in their open minded appreciation of music outside their comfort zone. It may be a waste of time but I've wasted plenty of time on more pointless things than this. Besides they certainly made me
reappreciate Opeth with this vid. I haven't thought about them in years.
It'll be interesting if their next Opeth-tune features their signature
mix of growls/clean-singing. Those beautiful vocal harmonies certainly
took me by surprise 2/3ds out in the first I song ever heard by them
(Master's Apprentices). |

They're having another shot at this progressive metal tournament-thing. Too bad its Meshuggah who is beyond awful even at its best and a rather conventional Tool-tune (Ænema). Nice to see that they seem too agree with me on that - although in a more polite manner. I'd love to see them do a classic prog version of this... just because it would be interesting to see if they kind of "get it". |

Late to the party here, but this Youtuber has an entire playlist reacting to Foxtrot: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuW4VGO75kzeBCF4gH2LgXCKAHMIGiMkv" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuW4VGO75kzeBCF4gH2LgXCKAHMIGiMkv He seems to really like Can-Utility and the Coastliners: Good taste! It's my favorite Genesis song by far. Also a Dream Theater playlist (not to my taste, but I know many are fans): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuW4VGO75kzf2QrzNr7nwvUVGxKgAWvr8" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuW4VGO75kzf2QrzNr7nwvUVGxKgAWvr8

We have another new Rush fan. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

I was junior high when I first heard this...how do music fans get to college before hearing Rush? ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

Also arriving late...
Molly, the girl in blue, my favorite... her first and especially her second appearance, when she starts headbanging and laughing made me laugh every time!

This guy loves Going For The One, like he's having a religious experience!!: (There's a part 2 video, but for some reason couldn't put in this message). ------------- Z |

Hadn't heard this Rush song in years, so when I saw this posted, had to watch. Jamal's reaction to the rap part is hilarious! He appears to have been taken completely off guard -- Long pause, then "Who was That??!!" (I've watched it like 6 times now; still cracks me up!) ------------- Z |

Jamel is one of my favs in this reaction genre......He seems to be a big Rush fan and appreciates the lyrics as he does lyric videos and mainly live videos. Whats been great is he has done a lot of early Rush and that has inspired me to spin those early albums more.

Yes, he's done several Rush videos, including the entire Fountain of Lamneth and 2112, both of which he quite enjoyed. Thats why at the end of this one, he says "...I knew they had it, but I didn't know they had it quite like that!" ------------- Z |

I just never got the appeal of the whole, "Hey everyone, these two guys are hip hop fans and they're listening to PROG! Wowza! Let's all take a gander!" thing on YouTube. I understand that it's good seeing people enjoy the music you like, especially when all you hear is mostly hate about it from the general public, but it's just not entertaining watching people listening to a song I already know. And their comments about it are fine, and at least more thought out than most, but still not that interesting to be honest.

A guy named JustJP makes some good reaction videos, not just to prog. He is honest, and he has good taste. Here a few examples: -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I've not watched a lot by this guy (Just JP) but I like how he dives a bit deeper than most do into some great prog rock, and has some very detailed/intelligent commentary. ...and speaking of Just JP: I just found (for the first time after a few searches) the first reaction I've seen to Renaissance --by him. I've been wondering when someone would finally react to them! Here's his reaction to Ashes Are Burning, calling it "The perfect Prog Song": ------------- Z |
