Di-Rect - All In Vain - Ryan Mear Reacts

[@officialdirecttv]

Thanks for your support Ryan 🙏

[@RyanMear]

My pleasure. I've been given a lot of awesome music to discover, yours included. If I can help out fellow musicians, I will!

[@limitnl]

Zouden we niet een Nederlands avondje moeten houden in de MSG?

[@guppie19833]

this is in my opinion the most underrated song from Di-Rect

[@frankvandenbosch6527]

Everyone always talks about the lead singer Marcel but Spike the lead guitarist is an amazing musician, I love to hear him play

[@liesjedegie1001]

Di-rect is a Dutch band. I just love them. The singer Marcel, sings with his whole soul. It's just f#@$ing good music. They also great live, such good musicians. I absolutly love Nightwish and Ayreon, but Di-rect is also one off my favorites!

[@RyanMear]

I put a big DUTCH text on screen! LOL Im sorry!

[@liesjedegie1001]

@@RyanMear i saw! Just proud to be dutch. With our Floor Jansen, Epica, Within Temptation, Anneke van Giersbergen, Disdain (all metal women in metal) and Ayreon. And amazing rockbands like Di-rect and Kensington.

[@TheCyclingChannel]

What a great song with deep going lyrics. And such a wonderful and respectful reaction of you Ryan! Well done.

[@Eppietrap]

Every time I hear this song, I get emotional. It is so beautiful.

[@morisdegraaf362]

Your instant play along with the high notes was a feast for the ears. Please do it for the whole song

[@mirandabekkernens8265]

Nice reaction...like you to see react to Di-Rect - soldier on...please (De Duif Session). Not the official music video. Life is better...keep up the good work.

[@jeroenbos26]

There actually doesn't exist a version of Soldier in the Duif sessions. the song didn't exist back then

[@atsz.]

Oh this is actually a Dutch band, they were quite popular. The original singer was Tim Akkerman, who was part of the same season of Bestezangers as Floor Jansen of Nightwish.

[@PR-on7qk]

Are, not were. But this is one of those bands which do not need to be in the spotlights for people to know they are there. Just like U2, Queen etc. Not comparing Di-rect to them, but its the same principle.

[@dianebaven2457]

Marcel is always singing with all he’s got, love him for it 👌🥰 thanks 🙏 and your right about the cello, I see it as if it supports him home 😔

[@ritadejong1630]

I love your reaction, this is the best band in the Netherlands...where I live!! They are very special, this song is amazing from begin to the end!! ❤❤

[@Raysboss302]

Man I’m Dutch and didn’t listen to DI-RECT for years. Your reaction brought me back. I listened to a couple of songs from this session. Stunning

[@williecrone3612]

leuk om te zien dat je de vlag omgedraaid hebt.

[@Raysboss302]

@@williecrone3612 Uiteraard Willie. We kunnen niet anders.

[@PR-on7qk]

Love the way Spike (guitarist) cracks up seeing Marcel tiptoe around at the end :-) Great song. Really shows the magic of doing something LIVE. Or at lest semi-live

[@eveningglow2608]

Beautiful!

[@clivematthews5296]

Thanks for this Ryan. First band that has moved me almost as much as Nightwish. A different style I know and yet a similar vibe for me.

[@Jilhoa1]

Oh, they have Ben Mathot on the violin! You saw him in the Ayreon video :)

[@Iflie]

Yeah I kept looking at that guy because he seemed familiar!

[@yvonnecampbell7036]

I thought I recognized him :)

[@jackbos4429]

If you liked this maybe you should react to "Sodier On" from Direct.

[@duckling2]

Best song ever. Greetings from vianen holland.

[@RyanMear]

Greetings from Indiana, USA!

[@marcel021065]

Nice you get realy in the dutch music, singers😀 Floor now Marcel from Direct, lots more Dutch to do 😀 but first do Soldier on from this band, you wil love that for sure

[@sweenwveen]

Yessss jam with them and this courds

[@maudwestdijk]

Great,great,great

[@hennieniceguy]

Try Amstel life with DI-RECT and KENSINGTON omg .

[@maudwestdijk]

So so beautiful

[@basdebruin2355]

I beg you pardon… It is a Dutch band (the Netherlands). Yes, in Europe. A very famous band in Finland is Nightwish with Floor Janssen, an incredible good band as well, complete different genre.

[@RyanMear]

Yes, I had the correction in a text overlay..... Sorry

[@joshi_new_wave3283]

First thing I thought too was that it reminded me of the stuff you play. The Americana/Alt country style. I had never heard of this group but it was really good.

[@sharoncollins2021]

Ha, yes I requested the song because I thought the same. Funny you noticed that too. @Ryan thank you I really liked your reaction . Grz Sharon

[@henryfloor6306]

Wild heart soldier on are also beautiful songs

[@ellydejong4958]

Please listen to soldier on from Di-rect

[@ronaldkorringa7218]

Going Dutch😅😜😘 The Golden Earing The Bintangs Earth and Fire Ayreon Brainbox Within Temptation And FLOOR❤ Greatings From the Netherlands 🤘

[@jackbos4429]

And don't forget Glennis Grace! 😉

[@friedadewerker1899]

Wauw❤

[@roel123456]

You should check Directs cover songs: brown sugar, across 110th street, Lets dance, etc…

[@sanderoverweel8715]

You should listen to the song Wildhearts played by Direct. Goosebumps all over

[@Raysboss302]

Johan Cruijff. Our Dutch Ronaldo said once. Playing Football simple is the hardest thing to do.

[@Nickery1]

Great reaction ... and the singer is realy into the song ! , and as gitar-fan ... You should see and hear ! ... Danny Vera .. with his song " rollercoaster " .. also a Dutch singer/songwriter

[@tomten8663]

Remember, sometimes less is more.

[@renevaanhold]

Great reaction! I really would like to know what you think about their song "Soldier on".

[@edwardwiekens5113]

Did I hear you say it’s a Finnish band? Di-rect is from the Netherlands. Maybe I miss heard it.

[@RyanMear]

I did, but I put up Text correcting it LOL

[@TheVeenmeister]

Kicking this to today... ;) Great reaction. If you like this, you definately like the other Dutch Rock band Kensington. Unfortunately Eloi, the lead singer quitted in 2022. Still they made some gems to listen to. The "Vrienden van Amstel" together with Di-Rect, and Sorry Live in the Johan Cruijff Arena are pure eargasms.... Hope you can enjoy them too!

[@2xMGx2XD]

Hi Ryan, they got a new good song! Hope you like it.

[@2xMGx2XD]

My blood its called

[@killermonjero]

If you like this, then I think you'll like a band called First Aid Kit. Any song'll do.

[@bdbdjap3823]

Just a small correction Ryan ... it's a Dutch band ;-)

[@RyanMear]

Yeah...I had the correction in a text overlay... Not audible though

[@friedadewerker1899]

The are from the Nederlands!

[@RyanMear]

I had a text overlay with the correction....I apologize

[@korbmacher]

The band is dutch. The are from the Netherlands not Finland 😂

[@RyanMear]

Yeah it's corrected on the video, in the description and in the comments..... 👍

[@jsb7975]

Finnish band ?

[@RyanMear]

I corrected it with a text overlay..a huge DUTCH went on the screen..

[@ingriddezwager6234]

Finnish??? Dutch!!! 🥰 (Dutch singer Floor Jansen from the Finnish Band Nightwish probably gave someone a brainfart...😉)

[@RyanMear]

I put Dutch on the screen to correct myself!

[@KeesKouwenberg]

DUTCH!

[@RyanMear]

Yeah I corrected it on screen

[@KeesKouwenberg]

@@RyanMear Great song, saw them live several times, and this song is always one of the highlights, if not THE!

[@mauritz1964]

Direct is Dutch, man. Come on.....

[@RyanMear]

Did you miss the huge text that said DUTCH because I realized my mistake when editing??

[@Dasypodidae45]

Really loved your reaction. Great to have found this channel!

[@neila484]

It ain’t mutch if it ain’t Dutch!

[@Climbgirl262]

Love this band from the beginning....specially with marcel.....there awesome!
