First Time Hearing Slaughter - Fly To The Angels (Reaction!)

[@rogerrowles8702]

What Happened To , Jane." LA GUNS, Is Part Of This Era, And A Certain Musical "VIBE"!! 😁🖐🎸🔊🎶😎🎶🎵🎶

[@DrnkTheWildAir]

Info on the meaning behind the lyrics! Mark Slaughter was asked about the origins of the Slaughter song “Fly To The Angels” to which he stated: “That song was written about a girlfriend who I went to high school with. I remember I came back from touring and couldn’t get a hold of her. So I asked a friend and he told me he hadn’t seen her. The next thing I know, he calls me back with the news that she had passed away and the funeral was the next day. It was one of those surreal moments. I went to her funeral and it inspired me to write a song about letting go. There’s a real sense of composure in going through those life events that I’m always very conscious of in my music. Seeing what it does for other people is why I continue to write.”

Fly High Michelle from Enuff Z’Nuff is another banger about a young lady who left the world too soon.

Saw Slaughter and Jackyl at Ky. State Fair free concert in 2010. Mark Slaughter while singing this song came down off the stage and up into the stands. Walked down our row shaking hands and hugging everyone. Great time and awesome concert! You should check out Jackyl also. Try their songs: The Lumberjack Song When Will it Rain Down on Me

[@cindyv1401]

Alot of rock & metal singers truly have excellent singing voices 🤗❣️🤗

[@Lee-u5v]

This is absolutely the best reaction channel!!!

[@sddRd68]

I agree!

[@JasonMistretta-wf5ip]

I listened to this song 34 years ago when I was in high school. It is as good today as it was in 1990. Such an incredible power ballad.

[@arnoldcox9128]

I started to appreciate this song once i understood the backstory and lyrics, you really can't go wrong with an 80's rock ballad

[@SN35240]

Warrant....Heaven Tesla....Love Song Right up there with this one.

[@compostdave]

Love song is so good

[@jo2extreme874]

Happy Thanksgiving Shon ❤

[@NickPangio-pi1sw]

I love those hair bands!

[@edwardpulz8830]

The band name, Slaughter, is deriveved ftom the lead singer, Mark Slaughter's, last name. That is his actual singing voice. Very unique. Check out,"Up All Night, Sleep All Day and "Wild Life". Thanos, bro. Happy Thanksgiving, Shon!

[@carygillespie681]

Real Love is also a good song.

[@jnauyokas7227]

Shon you are so cute. Love your energy. Keep makin vids. Hugs

[@gagirl0499]

I remember seeing them in concert back in the day. They were great.

[@nikkikat1325]

Ty for your reaction! Slaughter is a very talented band. Request… Damn Yankees High Enough (official video)

[@reanimated]

Tha harmonies on that are just *chef's kiss*

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This is one of the best power ballads from the 80s, it's especially great. His vocals, the instrumentation & yes, it's very genuinely heartfelt from real experience, which makes all the difference. I like it also bc it's not too sappy, it's got enough rock in it to keep it from being cheesy and boring. Great reaction, Shon!

[@lisaprince6996]

I always think of my dearly departed daughter when I hear this. 😢

[@bobbiecrawford3245]

So sorry about your little girl.

[@lisaprince6996]

@ thank you

[@ErinsEnergy313]

LOVE THIS SONG! 🎶 His vocals are AMAZING 👏

[@kelleewolfe2834]

Oh, I loved this song! I have not heard it in forever. Thanks for reacting to it.

[@Lovegun-w4s]

I met these guys in 1990 and they were very nice and gave me an invite into their tour bus with pictures afterwards, they were great 💯💯👍😉 Also, the Bass player Dana Strum plays in Vince Neil's solo band 👍

[@msfoodiediva]

Up all night is another hit by them

[@anjheidebrink]

They rocked in concert and were so sweet in person ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@debbiewood13103]

When i was younger I use to have a big crush on Mark Slaughter lol ❤ Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Happy Thanksgiving Shon. God Bless. 💖

[@timlenard1646]

This definitely made me think of my mother, who passed this past May (5/19/24)... I'm listening on Thanksgiving day, the 1st one without my mother...

[@sddRd68]

So sorry for your loss

[@dawngipe6324]

I lost my dad on 3/17/24 and then my big brother on 5/21/24. I can relate for sure. So sorry for your loss.

[@eviljeep]

My Favourite high school band ! ❤️ Tx !🤟

[@rockmetalplaylists5595]

"Up All Night" for sure...

[@bpalm74]

Saigon Kick-Love Is On The Way Space Hog-In The Meantime Soil-Halo

[@trevorrichardson2200]

Love Space Hog!!🖤

[@rockmetalplaylists5595]

All good songs^

[@davidwitcher8609]

Thank you very much for reacting to this. One of my favorite songs growing up

[@paindilla1834]

At the time this came out my best friend absolutely loved Mark Slaughter. I cant tell you how many times I've seen this video lol. It's been awhile since I heard it though and I absolutely loved hearing it again. Playlist here I come....

[@denisealexander5441]

Mark Slaughter also does voice work. He did it for Warner Brothers years ago. I haven't kept current with him, but I know he still performs. I'm not sure what else he's been up to... But I think it's cool he had other things he did artistically. Nobody should assume they don't need a back up plan, or at least be trying other things. We only live once! Do things you're curious about, or interested in while you have the ability and opportunity 😊

[@ryanr5319]

Didn't he teach music marketing or something0? Prof. Slaughter?! 😊

[@denisealexander5441]

@ryanr5319 unsure... but I know he voiced Warner Brothers cartoon characters like Freakazoid. I don't research much on celebrities, but I usually will remember things I happen to learn in passing.

[@ryanr5319]

@denisealexander5441 Ditto here, something I heard a couple decades ago. Could have imagined it, been tipsy or otherwise. /shrug 😊 so gonna repeat it on the net like it's truthiness.

[@thesinstreamstreams9465]

Shon you are absolutely AMAZING! I hope you and your family have full tummies, family and tons of laughs today. All we have in the end is the love we share and the memories we make, so make those memories and share the love. I've watched your channel and you as a person grow into an awe inspiring man. You radiate a kindness and empathy toward others that's so admirable. Every day you put a smile on my face as I watch you dive in and learn about new music, new instruments and new cultures. You're about the same age as my kids, so it's cool to see your perspective on things. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, trust me, we're all THANKFUL to be a part of your community and have you with us here. xoxoxo

[@christarpley6861]

Takes me back to my high school days

[@celmalex1]

I love that you check out the hair bands

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

LOVE this song!!!! ❤❤❤

[@mrgmac777]

Great reaction, always loved his voice! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@andreasmith6528]

I’ve never heard of this band, but then I saw they were popular in the late 80s, early 90s when I was a young mom listening to Disney songs. Haha. I like this. Thanks Shon!

[@andy60234]

Mark was on tour , came home on the day they were burying his GF. He had no idea she passed. He wrote this for her. Ty headbangers ball.

[@Drow1973]

You should check out White Lion "When the Children Cry"

[@reanimated]

Okay wow it's been SO LONG and this is legit giving me chills I did not expect to hear this again.

[@reanimated]

I am so excited for you to hear this! This takes me right back to middle school.

[@HistoryPanoptic]

ahhh the teenaged memories!!

[@stevedaniels623]

Reminds me of high school dance lol

[@titools4375]

So glad you're asking to hear more about Slaughter, ecellent band, and great reaction glad you got the meaning of the lyrics. I have a few suggestions from this band from the album "Eternal Live", which is actually a live concert, you can choose any song, they're all sooo good, my personal recommendation: "Mad About You", "Get used to It", "Searching", "Real Love", "Dance for Me" hahaha I know they're many but I'm telling you those are best of the best, I put what I consider the best first, as for "Up All Night (Sleep On Day)" (which is the one you guessed correctly it was another song in the beginning of the video with the girls singing) is better to hear the studio version. Thanks for being open to suggestions.

[@kejola1969]

Saw these guys live last year and they were crazy fuckin' good! The blonde on bass is Dana Strum and he's the man responsible for introducing Ozzy and Randy Rhodes.

[@alisonnicholson]

Another beautiful song is Sarah McLaughlin in the arms of the angels. Its very powerful and emotional

[@juliejohnston3431]

Yes, the fans are singing their other hit song.

[@JamesBrendon-h4r]

[@BigMikesBMW]

Happy Thanksgiving, Shon! I saw these guys in Concert. They were the opening Band. Then Winger and then Kiss. Up all Night, Sleep all Day is one you should react to by Slaughter.

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

Before he had SLAUGHTER, he was the singer for VINNIE VINCENT'S INVASION, Vinnie Vincent was a former guitarist for KISS

[@Immortalheart66]

“All systems go “was a🔥🔥🔥 album. Mark’s vocal range is crazy!!!

[@randypowell4334]

Happy Thanksgiving Shon!!!! Great reaction to Slaughter now you need to react to Steelheart Can’t stop me Loving you or I’ll never let you go and She’s gone

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

I was in HIGH SCHOOL or my first year in the military when they BLEW UP, I loved them, I was in the military, because I came home on leave and was watching MTV with my brother and saw UP ALL NIGHT video, and I told my brother THAT CHICK IS HOT, he said THAT'S A DUDE!!! 😊😂😂

[@lordbiscuitpowerslam]

I like this song a lot recently I had my mother and father and I within a year apart before them my soulmate before her my grandfather and then when I was really young my brother was murdered so kind of reminds me of them

[@msfoodiediva]

Their guitarist passed away. This song was used as a tribute to him

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

They had a residency in Vegas, or they were just living there and performing regularly as SLAUGHTER last I heard, I'm so old, or feel so old, I have no idea how long ago that was, 2000's

[@richardclingempeel6111]

My wife passed away May 27th, she was beautiful inside and out. She taught preschool for 28 years. I still can't sleep nights.

[@ameyer1970]

Checkout their song “Burning Bridges”

[@hippiechic6772]

Shon Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Since you are discovering your appreciation for Rock n' Roll Ballads . Give HINDER a listen 🎉🎊🎊🎉#"You Deserve Better Than Me" & /or "Lips Of An Angel" . Thank you for your channel

[@aleciasnowfall202]

Stick ItTo Ya - the album name. This Space For rent - popular joke then.

[@derekdonnell6503]

Happy Thanksgiving big champ yeah Mark Slaughter talking about his girlfriend when she passed in high school that's what that song is about

[@mrichards2211]

❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

[@minneyruth]

❤❤

[@marcieharreld286]

I know Mark wrote this for an old girlfriend but the video seems to be about Amelia Earhart!! Old planes, female pilot, etc. An amazing song!!🎵🎼🎶🫶🫶🫶

[@reanimated]

Oh oh, this song makes me think of another kind of on theme, but more of a mid-90s grungey power ballad: Give "Far Behind" by Candlebox a listen!

[@EarthWalker2023]

🔥

[@williamwilson9283]

👍💯

[@michelek.5233]

Suggestion for another video - "Because I Got it Like That" by the Jungle Brothers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apTNaa2QoquVmtU There doesn't seem to be a real original video of this because it's pretty old (late 80s). They were close to A Tribe Called Quest (a couple of them went to high school together). If you want an ATCQ song, try this one on: A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick It? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWTTqnZ9o7-tj6M

[@nonsuch]

Doing their best Led Zeppelin.

[@Twinsgreg100]

If you haven’t done this song, try Hall & Oates version of “You’ve Lost That Lovin Feelin”

[@shannonturner8337]

Steelheart - Never Let You Go

[@LChav]

Pretty much anything from the "Stick It To Ya" album is good. "Spend My Life" is one of my favorites. Hope you check it out sometime.

[@SN35240]

I'm not sure the "ballad" gets better than this.

[@ButternutGOLD]

Man : you’re picking the wrong music !
