Chevelle Consistently Brings the Awesomeness | Letter From a Thief Reaction

[@shaunwhelan17]

One of my favorite chevelle songs

[@jasondesselle5143]

This band does not get near the love they deserve. Blows my mind.

[@justacuppajoe]

These folks have always been very under rated, it’s a real shame too.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I forgot to make my Chevelle playlist! Look for it in the next video. :)

[@Last-Lap-Lando4]

I've seen chevelle live 4 times. Amazing

[@lindacoy7165]

Aggressive picks - “Grab Thy Hand”, “Another Know It All”, “Family System”, and “Get Some”. Songs with Pete doing falsetto, belting, and/or howling: “ Clones”, “Roswell’s Spell”, “Highland’s Apparition”, “This Circus”, and “Piñata”.

Oh this song. 11 years ago i was listening to Sci Fi crimes a lot. I also had a new puppy, had him from 2mo to 6mo. At 6mo he got his shots and had an allergic reaction to the rabies vaccine. Blood in his lungs he fought to breathe at the vet for two days and just couldn't make it. The line, if you ever enter my mind, stay there, you'll live. Reminds me of that little guy, i had hoped a part of our pets sticks around and maybe he would hear my thoughts. Can't listen to this song without tears. If you are a dog lover i guess you will understand.

[@Blizzard0fOz93]

Easily my favorite song by Chevelle. Admittedly I haven’t listened to a lot of their tracks, in general, but still.

[@Glennwulf]

An Evening with El Diablo is amazing too

[@owengrub]

Yes yes there It is knew I was forgetting about another great one. 👍

[@aceventurapetdetective1736]

Tug O War and Vitamin R will always be my favorites of theirs. Just heartbreaking that these record labels screwed these talented bands.

[@albertwesker2283]

Tug O War freakin rocks

[@zerosurvs6949]

I love Chevelle, I always have. I remember seeing them live for the first time about 15 years ago. It was amazing. They're the type of band that sounds great both live and on record. They're the type that you hit like before the song actually plays just because you know it's gonna be good.

[@Taunic]

I love this album. Probably my favorite album. It's cool finding someone who reacts to Chevelle, Tool, and Opeth all in the same channel. Porcupine Tree is another masterpiece band Prog Rock/Metal.

[@kevinriley1249]

Jars,the fad are incredible songs basically any chevelle song is worth listening to.

[@ChristinaPiccoli]

It's so funny going back and listening to this before you really knew the band. You went from "I really like this guy's voice" to "The Pete Effect" in a very short amount of time. 😂

[@hunterhewa7623]

My favorite band by far! Thank you for reacting! Try Clones off of Hats of to bull. It’s one of my favorites 😎

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I know Hats Off to the Bull but not Clones. I choose my songs based on poll results so we'll see. Thanks for watching! :)

[@Flea_ip]

I heard, or read somewhere sometime, that the inspiration for this song came when someone actually stole one of Pete's guitars after a show, but then ended up returning it because they felt bad about it, and wrote a letter to Pete (and/or the band) apologizing, hence the title name of the song. I wish I could remember where I heard that, but that's been my understanding for many years.

[@232fatguy]

Saw another comment recommending Roswell’s Spell. Definitely one of their more stand out songs. Another is Fizgig. A lot goes into that song. Honestly just pick a random one from their list and you’ll probably like it. Just subscribed!

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Thanks! :)

[@justinbousum857]

A side note, it's barely noticeable but the bass starts singing also but they sound so much alike few ever notice the switch.

[@stevewade4469]

Glad you liked it! Great review. As you say, just a solid song. Love it every listen.The clincher is another favourite from them from the same album. More diverse but absolutely amazing. Hope you can review it one day ☺️

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I know the Clincher. It's no Closure, but a good song. ;)

[@stevewade4469]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee sorry, one other I love which not sure many people have heard is a song called ‘one ocean’. Simple song but Absolutely love it because his voice is just incredible. Takes you to another place...enjoy ☺️ 🎶

[@thra-x1855]

Chevelle has been my favorite band for some 20 years now, no question, it's very hard to pick a favorite song tho nevermind 'best'. but i can suggest a few songs that are way on opposite spectrums. for the heavies; another know it all, an island, don't fake this, in debt to the earth. and for the mellow/melodic; a miracle, endlessly, the meddler, revenge. all well worth the listen, on youtube or otherwise.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I can help. The best one is Closure. LOL :D I'm obsessed. It's a problem.

[@thra-x1855]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee lol, should have seen that coming.

[@corey6393]

I'm gonna go ahead and recommend the song "Peer" from the first album "Point #1". Hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, that might be it. "Grab Thy Hand" is a very close second.

[@MadmanReadsRocks]

This was one of many songs I played when I was a part of a cover band for a short while. I was reluctant at first but our singer was a huge Chevelle fan at the time and our local rock station played it like five times a day. There's an old video of us playing it on KZbin. I cringe everytime I see it. lol

[@lindacoy7165]

Anyone: CheVelle- CheVelle fans: DID YOU SAY CHEVELLE??? I love them!!! I am not making fun. I am 100% one of those fans. Their gear was ripped off while they were on tour in Fort Worth, TX (why does it have to be where I am???) in 2007 - guitars, amps, everything . They eventually recovered a few of the items including two of Pete’s favorite guitars. The song was “inspired” by that.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I love those kind of fans! And about the song, yeah, I never would've guessed that! :)

[@jamier4792]

I'm glad you liked this song. It's hard to pick when there are so many good ones. Not sure if anyone has mentioned to you the band, Royal Blood. They also make a lot of good music. "Hole in your heart" is a good one to check out if you get the chance.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Hmmm, do they sing Little Monster? LOVE that one.

[@jamier4792]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee Yes they do, I totally forgot about that one though. It was a long time since I've listened to it, until now that is. Its a great song as well. I am still amazed its just only 2 guys in that band.

[@brismithejedi]

I can't think of a bad Chevelle song. They're pretty consistent. Besides the "Wonder What's Next" album (which has "Closure"), my next favorite is "La Gargola" and the tracks "Twinge" (very chill) and "Choking Game" (much heavier). If you're gonna do one from "Wonder What's Next", I think "Family System" would be a good one (someone else mentioned it below as well).

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I have a feeling Twinge is my next one. I've seen that a few times now.

[@dillonthompson751]

You pretty much can't go wrong with Chevelle honestly. Not sure if I saw it in your list or not but Tug-o-War is one of my favorites.

[@splitit6118]

Im just here for my daily viewing.

[@Last-Lap-Lando4]

Check "shameful metaphors"

[@54nrubnus]

I always respond and give you my thoughts of songs for you to react to when you react to chevelle..and I will again but i just saw your list..most of what I'd suggest is on your list..so...Get some, still running, Vitamin R, So Long Mother earth, Ghost and razor, sleep apnea...Door to Door cannibals...yeah..so many other..the whole album This type of thinking (could do us in) is my favorite..anyways...

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Got it, thanks! :)

[@markspooner4883]

Huge Chevelle fan here..i know every song an they are honestly all awesome. They also have a lot of songs that are better than Closure, sorry. Btw, react to more Tool!!!

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

WHAT?! :D No it's cool, but Closure is firmly stuck at #1 by lyrics alone. But I like the idea of a challenge to find a Chevelle song that I'll like better than Closure.

[@snugnugg5013]

Straight Jacket Fashion....nobody ever mentions Straight Jacket Fashion.

[@WhazzAp19]

Humanoid tho

[@calumteine2008]

Channel: Harry Nesin Let's try Portishead's song Wandering Star, see if that's up your alley.

[@shep4life]

Jawbreaker. So Long Mother Earth. Grab Thy Hand. Mexican Sun. Get Some. Well Enough Alone. I Get it. One Lonely Visitor

[@lxr_3]

Come on we want SLIPKNOT !

[@loudthings]

Hey Lauren, you should totaly check the band called Thrice. In my very personal opinion, they have most complex and interested lyrics and music. And I still think that their vocalist Dustin Kensrue one of the best lyricis of our time. You can start with album called ‘The Alchemy Index’. This album have a four songs related to one of the Four Elements of Nature (Fire, Water, Air and Earth). Stylistically, this songs shares certain things in common with the final song on every other disc of The Alchemy Index. They are sonnets, their lyrics are all written in iambic pentameter, and their final two lines share the same melody. In this songs the Element is talking to Man, telling its regrets about mankind. The Water sonnet, ‘Kings Upon The Main’. the Air sonnet, ‘Silver Wings’. The Fire sonnet is ‘The Flame Deluge’. The Earth sonnet is called ‘Child Of Dust’. And they have a tons of other awesome songs.

[@Darkstar72SR]

Ya might want to use a better lyrical video if you can find it. This assumes that Apple Music is correct of course as well as my own ears but the line about “defend it” should be “to fend it” blah,blah, blah. Sorry but I’m picky 😘

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

The lyric video is the last thing I add when editing and I don't see it until then. Most of the time, there's only one to choose from for these Chevelle songs and there are usually mistakes in them. But I just stick it on the screen so you all have something to look at. :)

[@Darkstar72SR]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee thanks for replying. I really love your reactions to Chevelle! I’ve been listening to them since ’Wonder What’s Next’ in 2002. Hope to see you react to ‘Mexican Sun’ or ‘Same Old Trip’ soon. Definitely some favs of mine but I could make a mile-long-list of Chevelle favs ;-)

[@LudvikM]

Meh, not for me. They sound, at least here, as generic as any track from the Smallville OST.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

That's totally cool. Thanks for keeping it respectful. :)
