My favorite part of this song is the beginning riff of the chorus. It really draws you in because the spacing is like a vacuum.

[@Falker_Sports_Cards]

Danny the drummer really shines on this track.

[@joshuamattis2875]

Such a psychedelic intro 🤙🏻

[@josephpagano7612]

You already know Im first in line when I see GVF in the notification.

[@Carol-zp6jh]

They used a Mellotron on this album and it sounds like it's in this song! I love that you noticed the "stutter" - which is the perfect word to describe it. Also, i think this tune, like Caravel, was written during Covid and added to the album. Great reaction, Mike! Thanks😊

[@stevenmackenzie8492]

These guys are just insane. I was always jealous of my dad and my father in law growing up when The Kinks (my dad's favourite band) and Led Zeppelin (my father in laws favourite band) were coming out. I am so blessed to be alive to experience this band they are legends in the making and the saviours of rock and I dont say that lightly. I cant get enough of them, for so long The Chain was my favourite song of all time. These guys have had 3 albums and have gave me favourite song after favourite song. GVF Army 🤟

[@Yeedeed]

Speaking of, what are your favorite GVF songs?

[@stevenmackenzie8492]

@@Yeedeed It all started when I heard Highway Tune and Safari Song then Black Smoke Rising, A Change Is Gonna Come, Age Of Man, Lover Leaver, Age Of Machine, Stardust Chords and The Barbarians. One of the very few bands though that I can honestly say I have loved every single song, but those to name a few have been my favourites and ones I have loved the most 👍

[@Yeedeed]

Nice choices! I see you have my favorite of theirs in your list here! Age of Man is such an amazing song

[@stevenmackenzie8492]

@@Yeedeed yeh if im honest I struggle to find a better song than Age Of Man, it is absolutely epic. As much as picking one GVF song is a very hard decision if I was pushed it would be that one.

[@bearsmom9415]

Really appreciate that you listen and comment on one instrument at a time; drums, then guitar for example. It takes a good ear to separate it all out and critique it adequately.

[@davidgena2667]

An epic sound being made by what could very well become an epic band.

[@collinbyers8904]

Mr david, If you lived through rock n roll through the 70’s then i BEG you sir to go to one of their live performances it will truly blow your mind

[@angelabordack]

There’s even some jazz in this! This, if it was made back in the day, would have been the theme of Conan! I love this. Playlist is a definite!

[@carolharvey9967]

Sounds like a soundtrack to an epic movie!! Amazing!!!

[@seth1372]

coming back to watch this now bc i remembered how much i loved this reaction

[@Yeedeed]

Thank you Seth, this song is a beast!

[@michaelrhinehart5305]

love this song the solo is so amazing

[@conditionsunderground]

Wow, this is lovely! The instruments sound perfect, and his voice is so cool...

[@catchinglooks]

one of my favorites from the album! in the recent reddit AMA they did, they said they were " very inebriated" recording this, which kind of makes sense listening to it...but it resulted in such a great tune, haha.

[@AnnaBaszczyk-vq2fl]

Sounds awesome and i like it. Super instrumentation and Josh's voice unique!

[@lisagragg3997]

Great reaction. 👍👍 they stated this album has influences from their travels abroad. Great catch.I love the whole album

[@sandifulmor8327]

Love how you analyze the songs. You point out things I wouldn’t have caught. Can’t wait to hear your reactions to their new album!

[@keonkiser7969]

Man, this is one of my favorite albums, along with Alive, Bloom, Wasting Light, The color and the shape, and Throwing Copper.

[@rodrigoguzman5378]

What a great list of albums, I agree.

[@keonkiser7969]

@@rodrigoguzman5378 thanks

[@deadstang]

Yes, great reaction. Definitely my top 5 favorite songs.

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

They all sing! Jake sounds a lot like Josh, but different. Danny has a fresh sweet voice & he's got perfect pitch. Sammy sings too.

[@ozarkoracle7389]

Another great reaction video. 👍

[@gayle8153]

I'm not sure this is it, but in a recent interview, they mentioned that they used a Mellotron on some of their songs. You're probably familiar with that instrument from the 60s, but it does a lot of different keyboard effects. They did also mention that it's a political or war theme, as you have surmised. I love their instrument work on this one, as well as Josh's vocals. Glad you liked it! Thanks, Mike! Oh, and almost forgot, it had a little flavor of Rush in the second part of the song, with that stuttering beat and the guitar together, or at least I think so. Thanks again.

[@carlamabrito]

Almost a movie’s soundtrack

[@Cajungirl71]

Another great video. Thank you

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

I don't remember the song, but you were wondering how Danny could do high hat & symbol crash simultaneously. There is a video that might answer your question. Google: Jake plays chimes with the headstock of his guitar. I'll try to remember the video!

[@annelarkins5249]

Thanks mate.Great reaction.Love this one.

[@jimballardband]

👍🏼

[@ltdnmxli]

You need react to the live version of Stardust Chorus👌

[@josephpagano7612]

Agreed, hes got to get to all of the live performances, I suppose lol.

[@rodrigoguzman5378]

agreeeeee

[@Yeedeed]

Haha I know, I will get there guys!

[@mattchapman6581]

Have you listened to Slash with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, they have some amazing tracks, can you react to Apocalyptic Love and Back from Cali

[@Dilly-Winkus]

Yo man I thought I'd let you know that Spiritbox just released a brand new song titled "Circle with Me" -- check it out sometime! Hope all is well 👍

[@deliathorja442]

he did!😉

[@Dilly-Winkus]

@@deliathorja442 lol yeah I commented on his upload that I should've known he'd get to it 👍👍

[@Yeedeed]

Haha thank you for looking out any way Joe!

[@defendtheinnocent]

Do you like Chevelle? and if so would you consider doing some songs from Sci Fi Crimes my favorite album of theirs

[@Yeedeed]

Hey man! I do love Chevelle! I grew up on Chevelle, as the first album came out when I was in high school, and I am familiar with all of Wonder What's Next too. After those first albums, I have only heard songs here and there, and I don't believe I've heard anything off of that album you mentioned because the name is not familiar. Give me a song to start with, and we'll do this journey!

[@defendtheinnocent]

@@Yeedeed I was in high school and we rocked out to vitamin r in the weight room...every song on scifi crimes is good...I'd recommend fell into your shoes for guitar towards the end...highlands apparition for vocals and lyrics...and jars as the most popular song from the album...I listen the Battle at gardens gate and sci fi crimes once a day lately...thanks for the reply
