My FIRST TIME Hearing HELLYEAH - Hush (Official Video) | REACTION

[@Bristow9091]

You should absolutely listen to Moth next, such an amazing song! Hope you're having a dope ass day Alex, keep it up! :)

[@garycingel9999]

Or Hell of a Time

[@arthurzander5500]

My favorite Hellyeah song is Moth.

[@chrisbooth478]

🤘

[@stephanmcclure575]

I second this. Moth for sure

[@emilvillacampa5547]

I was just about to comment that. And yeah, he should definitely check out moth next.

[@CollinPatrick]

Some more from HELLYEAH to listen to: Love Falls, Moth, Welcome Home, I Don't Care Anymore, and Leap of Faith. Even if you don't make another video on them, they have a ton of songs worth checking out.

[@st0rm101]

concordo 100% 👍

[@devinkrum3768]

Love falls most definitely

[@allenmiraval1238]

Alcoholin ass is great too.

[@azuredragon7879]

"You Wouldn't Know" was my introduction to HellYeah. Just ran headlong in after that and never looked back.

[@michaeldeatherage4753]

Great fucking band

[@Newfieguy89]

Loved Vinnie Paul in HELLYEAH!! Still hard to believe both Abbott brothers are gone but there music lives on. Can I get a R.I.P. for Vinnie and Dimbag!!!

[@jeremydockery9616]

That song is actually about the lead singer Chad Gray, who grew up abused by his Step-dad. He said his mom is still married to him still. There`s a line in the song that says "You just can`t stand the touch. Affection weighs too much" He`s said because of all the abuse he endured he can`t stand to be touched They have another song called "Love Fall" that`s amazing

[@PinkAlphaMom]

My little brother hates being touched for the very same reason. His step father deserves to be burned alive.

[@ill4mz54]

Crazy how you find you aren't alone in this world when introverts go full extrovert with their music. This song like many by Chad help through the worst of it even if the worst happened decades prior and you are still dealing with the scars

[@mrmanju6989]

damn, he is Guts from Berserk

[@zanderholbrook-9785]

Love falls, you mean? And yes, love Falls is fucking awesome

[@LT.BrianM]

Whenever I hear Chad I’m pulled fully into Mudvayne. They got me through some dark shit.

[@charlesclothier7979]

This is how I got to see Vinnie Paul. Such an amazing performer

[@brandonlytle9392]

Same here.. and Chad Gray also since I never got to see Mudvayne

[@DragonTigerBoss]

@@brandonlytle9392 Mudvayne still exist, and are reforming last I heard.

[@brandonlytle9392]

@@DragonTigerBoss yes they are finally..they had at least one show recently that I know of..but prob won't be able to work together long enough to releases a new album.. 😆

[@novaheat7468]

The first time I saw Hellyeah was at the Chance theater in Poughkeepsie NY and that was the first and only time I saw vinnie Paul live and I remember vinnie threw his drum stick into the crowd and hit me in the mouth it hurt ouch but now that vinnie is dead now his drum stick is like the holy grayl

[@paulie98vr6]

@@novaheat7468 that’s awesome! R.I.P. Vinnie

[@JoshSmith-vj3yb]

Everytime I hear that voice I go down Mudvayne memory lane. Love that voice!!

[@gizmod9252]

This song holds a special place in my heart. My uncle grew up in an abusive home and could never get rid of his childhood demons and ended up taking his life a few weeks ago. Thanks Alex for always being so encouraging to viewers who watch your videos, keep it up!!!

[@ufninuyasha]

Sorry for your loss 😢

[@Scruffy2k22]

It sucks so bad that we wont get to hear anything new from them again. RIP Vinnie. Missed but not forgotten 🤘

[@colewagner4587]

Love that you decided to review this song. Many metal songs about serious issues are not pushed by the mainstream because its “metal.” This song is one of many that prove metal music is more than just being angry. Thank you.

[@CameySaurusRex]

You're gonna really love this band cause there's some absolute bangers. The title song Hellyeah, Cowboy Way, Moth, Band of Brothers, Alcohaulin' Ass, Sangre por Sangre (Blood for Blood), DMF, Debt That All Men Pay, Human, etc.

[@rheath329]

Finally!! Never seen you almost breakdown on a vid but my fav band did bring it out of you. HELLYEAH!!!! Try their song Welcome Home. It is for Vinnie after he died

[@michaeldeatherage4753]

Same man I love this band

[@sykedadi]

yeah i saw that too..

[@andreashakestad9013]

Rest in peace Vinnie. You belong with the legends like Joey and Paul 🙏

[@larryisazombie6454]

This song can evoke sadness in me depending on my mood. But it also can make me feel powerful as hell. This song is very important to me.

[@Flxxckko]

Literally

[@larrytaylor4482]

Finally, after all these yrs your getting around to do some Hellyeah, thanks Alex 🤘🤘

[@porkchopexpress6890]

For real right. They are such a bad ass band. I’m glad I got to see Dimebag and Vinnie at least once in my life before they both passed. When they were in a band called Damageplan. God that was such an awesome day. I got a guitar pic from Dime and a drum stick from vinnie that shit was an awesome night for me. I still remember that shit like it was yesterday. 🤘🏽

[@porkchopexpress6890]

Also to man I’ve been a big fan of Tom Maxwell man that dude always had a unique playing still I just loved so much. Which is why I became a big fan of Nothing Face.

[@BobH85]

finally after some many times commenting for this song. More Hell Yeah to listen to Moth, Love Falls, Welcome Home, Human, and 333 for starters

[@maxmcarnage7642]

I was so happy when I saw this reaction I've been screaming for someone to do this band for a long time, this song and Better Man hold such a deep meaning to me, coming from a broken home with a drunken parent it always tugs at my heart when I hear this song and Better man.

[@ka8989]

You chose one of the more emotionally heavy songs to start with...it's such an amazing song. Chad Gray did such a great job capturing that emotion and trauma.

[@nlu17]

Science teacher that was my favorite in high school, Mr. Scheller. Awesome biology teacher. Also, hush hits home for me,

[@IndieTimmie]

Such a powerful song, and was also my introduction to HellYeah. Just from your reaction alone I could see your emotion, thank you for sharing this with us. Welcome Home is probably my favorite song by them, definitely recommend that one.

[@djentyman4002]

Man this song is amazing! I would also recommend Love Falls by Hellyeah

[@Nighthunter669]

this song hit so close to home when i first listened to it. It was the song that got me into them, and after learning that chad was also the lead singer for mudvayne made them that much better. you should also listen to love falls

[@markwillis675]

So many great songs from this group. One of my faves is "Stand or walk away".

[@justinwilder3514]

“Songs like this let people who are going through this know your not the only one” We’ll said, you’ve grasped the very essence of metal

[@leeclarke7101]

Absolutely awesome track with Vinnie on drums, he was one of the best drummer's ever amazing.

[@jamesjohnston1935]

DUDE!! Thank you so much for reacting to this. As a former foster kid I have been trying so hard to get this band as much attention as possible, especially this song.

[@codyo316]

You need to do a deep dive into HellYeah: Moth, I don't care Anymore, Thank You, Human, Sangre Por Sangre, Better Man, You Wouldn't Know, Cowboy Way, Love Falls, Welcome Home, Hell of a Time, Alcohaulin Ass, and God Damn

[@katieshoup7095]

This song holds a big place in my heart. Coming from similar situations it’s a very deep song . Thank you for reacting to this ❤️

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

🐛 No joke.. My science teacher's name was Mr. Bug lol. David Bug and his daughter went to the same school Brandy Bug. My math teacher's name was Mr. Roach and his mom, Mrs. Roach, taught middle school. So we had insects teaching us baisicly 😆

[@cannedcorny52]

Dude! Yes! Love this song! So glad you finally reacted to it!

[@nickz8422]

This is the childhood Chad grew up in. He's mention this a couple of times in Hellyeah and Mudvayne

[@Mystic_pursuits]

You are such an inspiration. Please keep up the good work brother!

[@hayley7065]

Love watching these videos where you cover older songs. Sometimes I listen to songs and don’t catch on to all the meanings but when you break it down it brings a whole knew appreciation to them. Thanks for what you do!

[@leeg5023]

Moth and their cover of I don’t care anymore are a couple really good ones

[@divinedemon9076]

Been waiting for someone to react to this song, the hush is all I need. Also I want to point out the child matches Chad’s outfits throughout the video because that is “him”

[@TiberousBSD]

Black December, Startariot, Moth (My personal song), Welcome Home, I Don't Care Anymore, Oh My God, Demons in the Dirt, just about anything really. More please Alex. Just more please. Have an awesome day!

[@kowkillr5377]

I absolutely f**king love this song!! It gave me chills first time hearing it. You picked an amazing song for the first one from Hellyeah!! Keep rocking bro!

[@johnmarkiewiczjr4227]

I read that this song is actually based off Chad's (singer) childhood his dad was abusive so he lived with his grandma and that's why he wrote the song but check out hellyeah that one is deep

[@michaeldeatherage4753]

Awesome man i have waited for this one. Great band check out more of their stuff

[@bryandaum9763]

Absolutely love this song and this band. I'm glad this is the first song you checked out.

[@michaeldeatherage4753]

This song hits home for me. I grew up in a bad situation. Im glad you have heard it now. This band hasn't put out not 1 bad song. If it didnt click that is Vinnie Paul on drums from Pantera the vocals is Chad Grey from Mudvayne

[@TheDopestOlivellaOnEarth]

8th grade science teacher - Mr. Looper. Also we call getting a haircut "getting your ears lowered. "

[@christinedeshano2872]

Every time I hear this song, I cry. Especially if I try to sing along. It is a great song, it just has all the feels.

[@dylangrace3212]

You gotta check out Moth, Love Falls, and Alcohaulin by HellYeah. Also another fact is that The singer for this band (Chad Gray) is also the singer for Mudvayne.

[@curtismorgan9789]

Badass band and I've had the privilege of seeing them live in concert and they're just as good if not better than in studio. You should check out Blood for Blood by Hellyeah too

[@jlowerockmusicchick]

You have got to review Love Falls and Oh My God! Freaking amazing songs!

[@jaredwest1381]

It’s about time! Thank you for opening the Hell Yeah box. Love Falls is a great tune. Check it out even if you don’t post it. Keep up the awesome work

[@garrybowers9998]

Like so many of the other commenters, I lived through this as well. The line "just be still and breathe" was the easiest way to deal with it all. Growing up, I believed that EVERY kid dealt with these same issues. When I found out that not everyone went through this I couldn't wait until I turned 18 so I could gtfo. I remember I told my dad that and he opened the door and said I could leave now if I thought that. Pretty sure my sprinting out the door and down the street would have made Usain Bolt proud (btw, I was around 14 at the time). I stayed gone for 3 days and no one knew where I was. Nobody knew where I was, I didn't go to any of my friends or family's houses, I just disappeared. The only reason I returned was to get some clothes and a few other things. My dad showed up while I was still there, but nothing was ever said about that day. I stayed home, waiting to see how things were gonna turn out. Happy to say, he never hit me again. So yeah, this song resonates with me in a big way. I'm now in my 50s and me and my father don't really talk much. (Edit: for me it was more than just the physical abuse. There was also verbal and emotional abuse.)

[@jamesjohnston1935]

I didn't have it quite as bad as you did. I was removed from the home at 13, 7 days after my father beat me with a 2x4 in the shape of a boat oar. I can honestly say that I was one of the lucky ones. My first stint in foster care I was able to start therapy, as did my father. Unfortunately I had so much pent up rage that less than a year after being returned to the home, I had to be legally abandoned so that I could get the help I needed and to protect my siblings. After all that, I did get the help I needed and by the time my father passed away we were able to repair our relationship. Because of all this I cant help but cry whenever I hear this song.

[@sandycheeks9342]

My 8th grade science teacher was a guy named Mr. Baughn, super cool, football coach, totally awesome. My favorite teachers were always science: Mrs. Ousley, Ms. Brockett, Mr. Goff... fun times.

[@Bladedcloud6159]

10th and 12th grade science teacher Mr. Schultz. Ex air force veteran, all around badass

[@johnmartin9854]

Bro this is a rabbit hole you need to go down!! Sooooo many good songs. It was about time you reacted to them.

[@kaseyfiive]

This song helped me so much man, for years I felt so alone like no one understood me. One song I can say honestly saved my life.

[@arthurzander5500]

Saw Hellyeah live in a small venue twice, the first time I couldn't hear anything for like 3 days afterward, the 2nd time I think it was only a day or 2.

[@namontheninja]

You need to hear Hellyeahs Thank You. I can't even begin to describe how much it meant to me.

[@itsinov8ter250]

Man moth, human, welcome home, love falls, and hush are just so damn deep and I’m glad you knocked one off the list

[@jackeyxm8401]

yo there great in concert man you can feel his emotion in his music both his bands his music is harsh and hard to listen to at times I love this guy

[@jessalynphelps8867]

I wasn't prepared to almost cry while watching this reaction

[@azraelcales]

Definitely feel this one. Was unfortunately one of the extreme cases back in the 80's where I started out with an abusive family only to also run into similar people in the adoption system. Much love Alex 🤘

[@Bladedcloud6159]

Listen to Hellyeah - Welcome Home. Vinny Paul's(drummer) last song he made before he passed away.

[@pharm30]

Great band. Love this song. 😫. That’s why I love music. The emotion music and lyrics can bring out and can relate to 🙏🏻

[@ahmanetbones9496]

Yeah boy! That honor belongs to two teachers, Mr. Hollister my freshman geoscience teacher. And my senior year physics teacher Mr. Kamp! I love those guys so much! Also a great song would be Startariot by Hellyeah for a reaction. Any song off the Unden!able album. Keep rocking on Alex!

[@2-1inffwa97]

Finally Such a phenomenal band

[@captaincrew8494]

I have been asking for this for forever!! Thank you!

[@1988justaguy]

My 8th grade science teacher was our general teacher but, he was amazing at teaching everything! My favorite was how much he legitimately cared for who we would turn out to be as adults but also, his humor. Mr. Charles.... best teacher I ever fucking had! Also, Alex my brother.... it's ok. It happens to some of us. But knowing people care, like you show you do, is truly fucking appreciated. Keep crushin' it, my man 🤘🏻❤

[@cr8tonboy]

This song hits so close to home. It's my childhood. I'm so glad you watched this. P.S. 7th grade Science teacher: Marilyn Brenden

[@CrystalBrightz]

In Grade 9, I had a chemistry & physics teacher named Mr. Cooley. He would fire an air cannon upon kids who were asleep or otherwise not paying attention.

[@michaelcall-kirkendoll3004]

Dude, Im so glad you get the message of the song and explained it. Too many groups think songs like this "glorify" abuse when CLEARLY it's acknowledging and shedding light on it.

[@nicolassanhueza2289]

Moth from hellyeah is a masterpiece! Listen it please

[@PinkAlphaMom]

I clicked so fast! This is my favorite band and my favorite song!

[@robertmercer5759]

Chad grays a under rated song writer, helped me so much thru the years black December is a wonderful song

Some of my personal favs are: "Love Falls" "Better Man" "Moth" "Thank You" "Alcohaulin Ass" "Sangre Por Sangre" "X" "Human" "I Don't Care Anymore"

[@tdubs2015]

I'm so glad you finally checked them out!! More songs to check out from them: Moth, Human, Love Falls, I Don't Care Anymore, You Wouldn't Know, 333

I’m so sorry you had to go through that, Alex.

[@mingmerci6103]

Bro ive not even finished the video and i cant take my eyes off YOU! I can see the pain inside you! Brave to own where you have been and from. Love the channel dude. Listen to thank you by hellyeah - its the other side of the coin of abuse

[@Vault1982]

Long time subscriber. Love what you’re doing for the metal/rock scene! Dropped our new single a cpl days ago! MxC HxC based!

Great intro for you Alex. I grew up around Chad like a brother to me, always writes from the heart

[@mariolacang8261]

Nice piece bro I like it 👍💪👊

[@PinkAlphaMom]

I've seen them several times in concert. The one time i heard them do this song live, Chad had tears in his eyes. No matter how far away you get from from the trauma, it's never more than a thought away.

[@willl84]

Yassssss. Gotta do Moth next the riff is insane

[@tommyking2344]

One of my favorite bands ever. You definitely need to check out more of their tunez\m/

[@casper4202]

I have always loved this song ... Always considered this my anthem. To whoever is going thru this type of abuse it will stop eventually. But the pain will never go away. Thanks Hell Yeah for a killer song!

[@Slenderbender2006]

YESSS MORE HELLYEAH IVE BEEN WAITING SO LING FIR YIU TO REACT TO THEM

[@bradleys5057]

Hey Alex deffenately give the song 'Moth' ago, one of my favs ❤ not sure if you knew, this is the same lead singer of Mudvayne, Chad Grey 🤘

[@MotionlessKnight]

Science teacher from 7th or 8th grade for me was Mr. Whitmire. Big old dude that looked like an age progressed John Candy. We hated each other at first, but as time went on, we started to understand each other better and he was really cool and became one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. On another note, I just love Chad Gray's voice. There's no other artist that really sounds like him. It's unique. I am freaking stoked that Mudvayne is back together and I hope they start releasing new stuff soon!

[@MetalHeadReacts]

I've said many times that Chad Grey has such a powerful voice and his ability to convey such powerful emotions through his performance is unparalleled.

[@geminiheisserer6677]

Fun fact. Ive watched this video thousands of times and never noticed the drumsticks were on fire until now.

[@donniehughes278]

Twenty years later, and it still won't go away.

[@deadbunnyking]

Finally my guy. Been asking for this one for over a year

[@PKMetalGames]

I HIGHLY recommend "Moth" by Hellyeah. It's another great, deep song.

[@handsomedevil4860]

Finally you reacted to this. The odd thing it was my mother not my father that was like that. I want the chorus tattooed on me somewhere that is exactly how I view life to this day. But I moved away found a beautiful wife have kids and never carried that upbringing. Have to admit in a sick way made me a tough SOB

[@Ivantheterrible81280]

Not odd at all. There are plenty of abusive women. Just doesn’t fit the stigma, so it’s not spoken of.

[@brianross5998]

Great reaction to a powerful song. Recommend Moth and a personal favorite Sangre Por Sangre (Blood for Blood)

[@captainecho764]

“Black December” off of that same album is in my opinion the most underrated song of that whole band. The meaning is so powerful and it’s bone chilling

[@ayankonthefooty]

I've been teaching for 27 years, and my 8th grade science teacher was Mr. Brattain. In 1996, my wife and I bought his childhood home (unbeknownst to us). The markings on the back of our bedroom door show the measurements where his parents kept track of his growth in the 1950's and 1960's. So glad that you're digging into Hellyeah. Been a metal head since the mid 70's. They might just be my favorite band. RIP Vinnie Paul.

[@societylabeledme]

Please check out Oh, Sleeper-"Hush Yael" it's written about a tragic true story and it'll blow you away!!!
