First Time Reaction to the band "Volbeat" - "16 dollars", "Sad man's Tongue", and "Die to Live"

[@j.r8950]

Volbeat plays a Combination of country, Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly!!!

[@volbeatrules6528]

Most underrated band,,, possibly of all time. The catalog is long and awesome!!!

[@gunnerbenz9963]

I wouldn’t disagree with this statement at all. In my 60 years I’ve seen and heard ALL the greats. They don’t have to take a back seat to anybody!!!

[@NinoMit87]

I wouldnt call a band that sells out stadiums an 'underrated' band. But yeah great catalog and love them!

[@knoxpuffer]

Always a pleasure to watch someone who listens to Volbeat for the first time. "Still Counting" is a great song with an awesome live version from the Wacken festival in Germany. Lots of people like their song "For Evigt", which I think is a pop song compared to most of their other stuff, but for some reason it really hits home with most people. :D

[@TouchyReactions]

Just recorded "Still Counting" with that Wacken performance this morning.

[@Karldin83]

Was at their 2012 Wacken concert and was hoping to find a live version of 16 Dollars, because it was so awesome with he dude with the stand up bass. He even wound up standing on top of his bass a couple of times

[@gunnerbenz9963]

Loved watching your reaction because I discovered Volbeat accidentally at age 54 2017 and have been blown away and down the rabbit hole into every song of theirs ever since. While there are a few I don’t care for, most all of them are fantastic. This guy (Michael Poulsen) just “gets it”, when it comes to rock n roll. PERIOD!!!

[@TouchyReactions]

Yeah, every song has been good so far.

[@johnkristian]

It's an own genre. ROCKABILLY.

[@brit7317]

Love Volbeat. Like metal/rockabilly kind of mix. So awesome watching this reaction!

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks. Glad to see you enjoyed it

[@Purplefishish]

As a Dane, I always get excited when I see these reactions to awesome bands from our tiny, little country. I freaking love this band. I have been going to their shows since they were relatively unknown and it´s been great to see them evolve into this power house

[@TouchyReactions]

Yeah, they are great 👍

[@scuppernog1]

“Seal the Deal and let’s Boogie” and “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown” are favorites.

[@kheldaur2107]

Radio Girl is something to look after this

[@JoeChadburn702]

This is Volbeat doin Rock'a'Billy 😍😍 fully driven by the 50's. Volbeat are absolutely SAVAGE Live.

[@1891726]

michael poulsen the singer of Volbeat is a big Elvis Presley fan. He has a picture of Elvis tattooed on his left arm and then he has Elvis Aaron Presley in big letters on his forearm and JR Cash on his chest. His music is inspired from 50s-60s music to Metallica and punk. I myself am a big Elvis fan and love his music. Volbeat, Elvis and JR Cash go on repeat at my house anyway. Have been to 4 Volbeat concerts here at Home in Sweden. They are so fucking good live. He's a damn good voice. If they come to the USA again, I recommend that you go. You really won't be disappointed. Please more Volbeat for the people :D

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@xyprophis3067]

Volbeat fits in the genres of, Rock, Hard Rock, Rockabilly, country, southern country rock. I've been lusten8ng for years. Love them

[@kheldaur2107]

Yeah, someone called him the "Elvis of metal" and that´s not wrong.

[@pimone82]

James Hetfield call him "Little Elvis"

[@futtejanas5690]

Michael even have Elvis soldier number tattoo on his arm

[@melissao992]

I am obsessed with pelvis on fire! But then I’m kind of obsessed with all their music 😊

[@carolbusbey9928]

saw them open for ghost a few years ago. they were great.

[@Des..Perado]

You'll love their song Lola Montez.

[@2010Steffii]

Thanks for reacting to this amazing band! I dont get why they are so underrated 😢

[@Cromicus99]

I'd say you were pretty spot on with your analysis considering two of his biggest influences were Elvis and Johnny Cash.

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank you 😊

[@CalleStaaf]

Volbeat is my all time favorite band and i LOVE their older songs from 2004-2010. Their newer songs are more pop-like but still good. I highly recommend a reaction to any song from the 2007 tour. My favorit is '''THE HUMAN INSTRUMENT''.

[@lotharhb]

Heard the song "We" about 5 years ago, been a fan ever since!

[@TouchyReactions]

Everything I've heard is catchy as hell.

[@charliefoxtrott1048]

Volbeat is pavlovian to me... I always have to smile because of the memorys connected with them. Have fun with this rabbit hole :)

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks CF

[@daskuhnen5530]

Rockabilly is the term you were looking for. Before my time too, but that's what is.

[@andymitchell914]

It's a combination of 50's style rock and roll, rockabilly and metal

[@TouchyReactions]

Great sound

[@kevinbunker7124]

By far the best band out there today… not.. even… close🤘

[@alexanderishere1857]

Great reaction. Would be great to see you react to "for evigt' with volbeat...concert version

[@AaronWhite-s1i]

Metalbilly. Johnny Cash meets Elvis meets Metallica meets Danzig but you don't want to kill a goat when you listen to them. Awesome stuff!

[@MichaelHedegaardJensen]

Michael Poulsen, the singer, is influenzed by Johnny Cash and Elvis.. and you can easy hear that.

[@BradLeoS]

Alot of reactions I have seen they mention he sounds like Elvis, your correct, it's Johhny Cash. I saw them live at Rock USA in Oshkosh, Wi. He actually opens Sad Man's Tongues with a Johnny Cash song. I don't recall, but it might of been Fulsom Prison, it's kind of the same music line so I assume that was the one. You got that one correct, most reactions lean to Elvis

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks Brad

[@BradLeoS]

I'm actually Brad's dad...for some reason my You Tube uses his account. I am wrong, this is not Oshkosh from 2017 but he does Ring of Fire prior to Sad Man's Tongue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXWuo4Vvh62qaNE @@TouchyReactions

[@mannemanne7273]

Amazing music, cool band, love it love it

[@donaldlamendola1392]

Ive always said Volbeat is what woukd have happened if Elvis and Johnny Cash started Metallica instead of James and Lars. The singer is also a huge Johnny and Elvis fan, as if you couldnt tell.

[@dustinschings7042]

Sad Mans Tongue is said to be one song in a trilogy. The others are "Mr. and Mrs. Ness", and "Danny and Lucy" and I believe there are even ties to "Fire Song"

[@Murvelhund]

Favorite from them is For Evigt and definitely do that one live if you gonna react to it.

[@poiboi808]

Volbeat’s older stuff is more punk/rockabilly style. All of their albums are great though! And I recommend you see them live!

[@TouchyReactions]

Thank You

[@PastelFurry]

Deffo hope you do more Volbeat especially Lonesome Rider and Last day under the sun ^_^

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks

[@CrazyhorseDK]

heers from denmark im in this crowd Volbeat - Sad man's tongue Live @ Rock Am Ring 2013 - HQ guitarist is former Anthrax Poulsen has named Elvis Cash Dio Lemmy just to name a few infulences we did whirlpool they are just as great n clean live as studio and ya Poulsen can growl too

[@CrazyhorseDK]

another suggestion little darker Shotgun Blues but hell most they ever made is badass

[@Drescher1984]

Neil Fallon is from Germantown, MD based band Clutch.

[@DirtRoad83]

From their influences of country/folk/rock Elvis, Cash, Hank etc i used to jokingly say they were the beat of the Vols/Tennessee Vols/Volbeat...their name doesn't mean that but it would actually make sense if it did 😆 lead singer said he used to listen to his dads records of country folk n rock and thats what made him love music

[@CrazyhorseDK]

energy level at volbeat concert reminds me of motorhead concerts was there cheers from denmark should have checked the 2013 rock am ring ring of fire sad mans version 😁 was there Guitarist is former Anthrax

[@AviationAutoShipsOperations]

This is such a good band, I recommend Lola Montez or Room 24 in the future

[@sshold]

Still counting .. wild rovers of hell. 🤘🤘🤘. Also literally anything Volbeat including their cover of Metallica's don't tread on me. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

[@TouchyReactions]

Just dropped still counting

[@Bill123058]

plus he's sounding a little like Elvis in this one. he's got a big Elvis tattoo on his arm.

[@glennkerr7705]

Dude do yourself a big favour. See them live! A great show!

[@heinochr6954]

Volbeat is like Elvis and Johnny Cash Rock and Roll

[@TouchyReactions]

I love it.

[@scuppernog1]

Paulsen even has large tattoos with both their names.

[@scuppernog1]

I think Volbeat is more like Elvis and J.C. were sitting around one night and Lemmy showed up and they got wasted and came up with a new sound!😎🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻😱

[@heaven4hockeycards]

rockabilly...they called that elvis rock

[@glennkerr7705]

Mr Fallon is in a great band. Check out Clutch!

[@Steen55]

The singer and frontman Michael Poulsen is a hugh Johnny Cash and Elvis fan, Volbeat is from Denmark, you should try lokk up the live version off there songs, its so much better

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks

[@JoeChadburn702]

Next Rock'a'Billy installment Ya need to cover Black Rose, Pelvis On Fire, and Wait A Minute My Girl. You'll Thank Me Later

[@jettechdonatkins]

I haven't heard a bad Volbeat song yet.Lola Montez,Mary Jane Kelly,Garden's Tale,Lonesome Rider,Still Conting and so many more great ones.Sadly the band broke up this year with Michael starting a new band without Rob on lead guitar.

[@TouchyReactions]

Ah, that sucks

[@ChristianSander1969]

That's a load of bull, the band didn't break up or started a new band.. Rob wanted to try something new after 10 years in the band, and Volbeat continues with a temp lead guitarist, Flemming C. Lund (from The Arcane Order), for the remaining concert this year.. Remains to be seen if he will be permanent replacement..

[@bopoulsen4030]

ROCKABILLY

[@JoeChadburn702]

Volbeat as a Band have 4 Big Influences.. Elvis, Johnny Cash, Metallica, and the Last 1 is Debatable... either Misfits or Social Distortion. I Have Misfits on My Volbeat Tribute Battle Jacket as They do Quote Live "Do You Like Misfits, We Like Tje Misfits" and then They Cover "Angelf*ck" by the Misfits.

[@anderslarsen6009]

As A Dane i can only say sorry :-)

[@snidely2065]

I call the style psychobilly

[@scottwillman828]

Rockabilly...

[@leftyme4568]

Sad mans tongue is Jhonny cash!!!

[@TouchyReactions]

So good

[@leftyme4568]

Elvis metal

[@ReneHansen2500]

Rockbilly punk🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

[@Deilwynna]

the way michael poulsen sings can be a bit odd, when he doesnt force a region specific american accent to his singing, his english is definitely having that danish accent to it but when like he does a southern american accent it can sound very much like as if he was from there

[@bubbaupton1641]

I don’t believe for a second that you had never heard those songs!! Have you been living under a rock ?

[@TouchyReactions]

Why would I lie? Have you heard every song ever recorded? Me neither. I must have been living under a rock.

[@Honksu1986]

Songs are good but not from the TOP10 of Volbeat on my opinion.

[@volbeatrules6528]

Try also by Volbeat The Everlasting 7 Shots Lola Montez Shotgun Blues I could go on forever but these, along with the ones you just reacted to, show their diversity, and how they kick ass no matter what style they play

[@TouchyReactions]

Thanks for the help
