[@fatshady5714]

Not too shabby! It's my first time hearing this one as well and I enjoyed it thoroughly! Hell, I didn't even know Body Count covered it! Respect for even attempting this one and they definitely did it justice! 🤘🤘🤘

[@TheSpoonerstreet]

Do the same to suicidal tendencies institutionalized and the body count cover.

[@josephwilson9082]

YES!

[@TheComicBookJoker]

I approve this decision!

[@damienkurast]

This!

[@trevorlebert1929]

Yessssss I WONT SPOIL IT BUT itll be a good video.

[@masterzerk]

and then just jump in to one of their own songs, not just covers.... There Goes The Neighbourhood or 99 Problems BC.. yes, Jay-Z's version is a "cover" of the body count version(with Ice-T blessing)

[@19961MetalHead]

Wow... Never seen this before and this was actually a pretty badass cover... They killed it

[@robashton8606]

Except the dude didn't play the intro correctly.

[@tongbb3]

@@robashton8606 It's a cover... If you want to hear the exact same song, listen to the original. Covers don't work if you don't do your own take on it... IJS

[@rodericf1]

You gotta react to more body count brotha. If you're a fan of hip hop you'll enjoy the hell out of body count.

[@adamgilmore7081]

Chucky Cage cop Killer

[@michaelledford4751]

He also needs to research the history of body count & see the national crisis they caused with the song Cop Killer where actual cops had a bounty on Ice Ts cool ass & home boy ain't never had a single security gaurd either ,then after Body Counts Cop Killer started to die down Ice hit em again with the song " Last Breath " talking about a black gang member killing a family's kids with a rusty blade before he robbed they house just because the gang banger he wrote about was a monster who killed all witnesses .

[@noelv1976]

Black Hoody

[@ricangle]

Cop killer!!!

[@slappywhite1399]

As a small child, I became a huge Ice-T fan. Body Count is the band that got me into Metal. ON WITH THE BODY COUNT!!

[@njldst2007]

Not just his friend, Ice-T is a huuuuge metal fan. Body count isn't just some favour for a friend, it's him bringing out his love for metal too. Oh and also, the part at the end which wasn't there in Slayer's version is actually the second part of the song *before* Raining Blood (Postmortem) in the actual album

[@xfghkhjfsejid]

Body Count - Institutionalized and the Original by Suicidal Tendencies.

[@ravenspawn8982]

YES!

[@PJBonoVox]

xfghkhjfsejid Good shout man. I reckon he'd like Born Dead as well.

[@xfghkhjfsejid]

I said listen to both. Reading comprehension.

[@vsmith6109]

Love body count institutionalized. It's hilarious and awesome. It's also more true to what he would hate in his day to day than if he took on suicidal version lyrics.

[@damienvalentine3871]

you should go for body counts own stuff. go for no lives matter

[@You-rl7gc]

Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars ( Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios )

[@alekcandrvlad3390]

Dude, just react to Cemetery Gates by Pantera already. It’s a friggin must bro

[@Achielezz]

A MUST HE SAID

[@scottlabochsr5134]

Alexander Orellana Pantera is awesome!! 🤘

[@johnvazquez8141]

🔥🔥

[@josepedroteixeira3120]

THIS ^ pls

[@dakotamyers7903]

what about domination?

[@melanielucas4155]

I used to work in a rock bar and on weekends the place had live bands. Bodycount was one of them. I was happy to meet Ice T. While the opening band was on he came and sat at my bar. The place had 4 bars and mine was the only one in a different room where it was more quiet. Slow night for me cause the crowd was in the main room where the dance floor and stage was. ICE T was so nice. Nobody else was at my bar and he just ordered a drink and made conversation. We chatted for about half hour, then he had to go get ready for his set. He was so nice, respectful, smart, and kind. He went to pay for his drink, and I told him not to, it is my treat. He thanked me and left. I turned away to clean the bar, and when I looked there was money left. He left me $200! I tried to find him to give it back, but he was walking up on stage. Some celebrities do appreciate everyday people!

[@aaronknoll9493]

The bit at the tail end of this is a part from slayers Postmortem which is the song they play as kind of an intro to raining blood. You'd probably enjoy black hoodie by body count. They even collaborated with Max Cavalera, vocalist from metal band Sepultura on the song All love is lost.

[@rodericf1]

The second song was Slayers Postmortem btw.

[@nikolausdeems1922]

Chucky Cage yeah they played the order backwards

[@TheDarkangelazrael]

YES! I was so into Body Count when they came around cause I was always an Ice T fan from way back. That second vocalist was VERY much doing his singing in the style of SUICIDAL TENDENCIES. You should check out FIRE FROM THE GODS - "EXCUSE ME" They are a hip hop oriented metal band with a GREAT front man. Love we are on this journey together bruv.

[@kathycrutcher2671]

I love your funny clips!!! I've never heard this song before,loved it!!!

[@thepsychophonic]

If you liked "Raining in blood", you'd love "Black Hoodie". An incredible song, the riff, the transitions, everything. Without doubt, one of the best songs by Body Count. And, as a Hip-Hop Head, you should listen too "New Jack Hustler", fron the time when Ice-T did gangsta rap, not rap-metal. The composition of that song is great, and in it you can hear the most precise Ice-T rapping ever. He marks the rhythms simply perfect, advances syllables or delays them in the moments in which it is best. He does with his voice what many drummers are not able to do with their drums.

[@marekam95]

Arch Enemy- war eternal (Live at Wacken)

[@celestialcolosseum]

hell yeah!

[@otsobeltz7191]

Up with this request brothers!!

[@nikolaytrofimov4175]

Wow, Im surpised to see Wintersun in the requests. Maybe he better check out "Time" in the same Sonic Pumo Studios

[@Gibbetoo]

Body Count is easily 1 of greatest band's i've ever heard.

[@kirkr.5566]

I got to go see Body Count live in Denver back in 1992!! One of the best concerts I have ever been to. Thanks for reacting to this one. Have a dope ass day Bruh!!!!

[@elrod1677]

Love the videos man, I've found a few new bands on here that are now on my playlists. I noticed you havent reacted to any Meshuggah songs yet. It seems like you enjoy the drumming on most of these metal songs. So im gonna suggest Meshuggah - Bleed. You wont be disappointed! Cheers

[@RogerLaLoutre]

Luke R Bleed is amazing in and of itself. I recommence also New Millenium Cyanide Christ too. First for the fudged up lyrics, second for the video 'cause it's hilarious. And finally for the cover Rob Scallon made with a shovel (yes, you read that right).

[@musicexpert6288]

Demiurge would also be a good song to start with

[@ralkaurr406]

i must agree with this :P

[@elrod1677]

I just think he needs to experience some god tier drumming. Bleed was my introduction to the band and it blew me away. Alex Hefner if you see this just know the machine gun like sounds are from double foot pedal bass drums

[@stephenbull79]

Dont listen to these guys, you are not ready for them yet. It takes some building up too.

[@djnaadowanyakumulator3526]

You prefer this one probably because it's cleaner, less aggressive and less chaotic. It sounds more "modern"

[@mikelisk9009]

Bro I went from lost in Vegas to your page for my main reaction channel I still watch them but I love your enthusiasm

[@mythic2830]

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza - You Won’t Please! Great video 👌🏽

[@FatFredyFreak]

OG Body Count There Goes the Neighborhood, Cop Killer, lot slower than this but great tunes. There was a whole controversy when they dropped their first album, Cop Killer, stores pulling it off shelves and shit, it was crazy. PS Make sure you hear the uncut versions, SO much better!

[@tongbb3]

FatFredyFreak Actually, it was Ice-T's decision to pull the song from the shelves and he chose to give away 45s of it instead.

[@feelingtardy]

i had the original cd as a kid. i actually traded to a friend of mine for some other cd. i remember when it got pulled from the album, crazy times. i just think of how bad of a reaction that song would have today.

[@yellorado]

Same here i actually had the "Body Count" album IN TAPE!!! I've been a metal head since i was 13-14 years old and still am 35 years later, but also dabbled in the gangsta rap genre in the 90's early 2000's so yeah... Hadn' t heard that song from them and yeah it's impressive as hell! About doing Taylor Switf's "Blank space by "I Prevail"? My guess is you will lose your sh!t! That song cover got them on the map and kickstarted their career!

[@uoabigaillevey]

No hate for liking this better than the original. I, personally, prefer the original.. but this is a damn good cover of both Raining Blood and the song that actually comes before it.. 'Postmortem'.. they are normally played 'Postmortem' then 'Raining Blood'. Mad props for the cover tho... any metal band should be happy to cover these masterpieces at least for the fun factor. Peace

[@skaface32]

i like your vids man, keep up the good work

[@victorknebl3986]

Love your videos. You should totally do a video on your favorites so far considering you're somewhat new to the genre. Would like to see what those would be

[@maninblack9191]

Check out old body count song called there goes the neighborhood. Also where the hell is the token code red reaction?

[@tobiasbirgersson4621]

Do some System Of A Down reactions :)

[@Satan-lb8pu]

Sad statue/Revenga/soldier side or Radio/video.

[@RyanFGNM]

I think what makes this version sound better is you can understand it better. I'm thinking their recording equipment being way newer than when Slayer first put this song together helps. Plus Ice T has a tendency to be very precise with his vocals.

[@monicazarraga7784]

Hey Alex! I'm a new sub cause I just subbed like 4 days ago but I really enjoy your videos so much!! And u help me look for more music that I might like or get into, I'm so happy that I actually found a KZbinr that im hyped to see all the time💕💕

[@Bedroomrips]

Bro bulls on parade by rage against the machine. They are a rap metal kinda fusion

[@jbasti227]

Du Riechst So Gut I'm surprised he hasn't done Rage yet. He's gonna love them

[@Bedroomrips]

Joseph Bastidas damn straight lol

[@eljay5585]

Or Limp Bizkit?

[@TheSiminification]

Prophets of Rage too ! ;)

[@karimuche]

Or "Know your enemy" or "Fistfull of steel" in Live YEEEEEES

[@sanay1313]

Oh and I'm about to give up on Unleash The Archers. Been suggesting that shit for weeks hahaha

[@untilvalhalla13]

SanaySK they're fucking awesome. I discovered them like a year ago. She has kind of Rob Halford's range. So good.

[@Morph2o]

hell yes, something from their newer stuff

[@studuckson]

They are amazing. Awakening or Cleanse the bloodlines!

[@taz4160]

I have been telling him to listen to Awakening as well man. Shits to good to not listen to

[@numofe]

Nooooo!! don't give up, Unleash the archers is great!

[@a.d.millennium943]

glad you dug this cover, man! Believe it or not, I got into Body Count because my mother had been a huge fan of them since the beginning. Even despite being into heavy music growing up, I always have big respect for some of the rap/hiphop pioneers. That's why I Love crossover tunes like Anthrax & Public Enemy with their track "Bring the Noise"

[@LetsGrindGames]

LEGENDARY BRO! Loved the reaction earlier and his is actually a pretty awesome reaction, loved how you did these too back to back, was an great choice man, how’s your day been today man! Did you have a good week!

[@AlexHefner]

LetsGrindGames thank you so much! I’ve had an amazing day and I hope you have a better day! I hope your week is going great ❤️❤️

[@LetsGrindGames]

Alex Hefner I try man! I’ve going through a rough time right now, struggle with surfing around being housed and homeless so sorry if I’m late with my comments and viewing! I don’t want to be late but can’t help it sometimes! I’ll always stop buy tho, sorry if I haven’t comment much recently! Just have slot going on! Glad you had an awesome day, in trying to get myself back to normal, just taking a while! Love ya bro! Thanks for replying, means a lot to me! I appreciate the time you take to interact with us fans, it means more than you know!

[@pedrogas18]

Opeth, pretty please. The lotus eater or the drapery falls are good songs

[@pedrogas18]

Héctor Bernal one of the best opeth songs bro 🤘

[@jimwilliams8663]

Allegaeon “Proponent for Sentience III- The Extermination” Allegaeon “Gray Matter Mechanics” Two amazing lead guitarists and great lyrical content to react to.

I've never heard this cover before but this is incredibly well done.

[@jordanwolfson8378]

People should be more like T. One of the most famous rappers in history, and also loves metal and rock. T is a real one.

[@thomascardone4786]

Alex, if you were impressed by the drumming, speed and precision. You'll be ABSOLUTELY blown away by the drums in Messhugah's Bleed! Definitely worth checking out. Thomas Haake is a beast on the drums. But be warned Meshugah is not for the faint of heart lol. Love the channel!

[@danzanmk1701]

Pantera- Cowboys from hell

[@AustinGonder]

Dude you should listen to “Institutionalized 2014” by Body Count

[@daveethridge7342]

Body Count is the very first band I ever saw in concert. Back in September of 1992. They were the surprise guest, opening up for Guns n Roses and Metallica at Arrowhead Stadium in KCMO. I feel really lucky that was my first concert.

[@ashwhole666]

going thru your videos and taking a shot every time you say dope

[@ReadySetRush]

Dont feel bad for not liking the song, there are plenty of metal heads who arent fans of the song.

[@AlexHefner]

jeff neal that honestly makes me feel a lot better

[@alfiemcevoy5125]

Alex Hefner there are enough genres to pick and choose with metal - thats the beauty of our genre. Rock on dude, really enjoying watching you "grow" as it were 🤘

[@coreymcdaniel2759]

I'm not a big fan of some of Slayer's songs either so its all good.

[@ValzRon]

Body Count - No Lives Matter , like that cover was good and all but srsly the songs that Body Count do themselfes are much better

[@SciFiFactory]

My absolute favourite from body count! Love it!

[@Rosi-der-freund-von-Bratilette]

Nice reactions, i love them! If i may suggest some: Wolves at the Gate- Man of sorrows

[@NolanVoid]

Obviously Slayer was a HUGE influence on Body Count. Good to see Ice-T STILL crankin' out that metal. I think the fact that the recording on Body Count's version is cleaner might be a factor.

[@IdontWannaKnowY]

Body Count - This Is Why We Ride

[@tongbb3]

[@DoTheDrew]

You should react to Cane Hill whenever you can! Great videos, keep it up!

[@alexletsplays1]

Please react to architects

[@RogerLaLoutre]

YO. Ice-T made an interesting suggestion : Suicidal Tendencies. This band is dope af. I suggest you react to a song among those three : You Can't Bring Me Down, Gotta Kill Captain Stupid, or Possessed to Skate ('93). All three because they are awesome, but more importantly because the first two I mentioned send a message with the lyrics ^^

[@markuslausen3391]

Yes , Yes and yes

[@RogerLaLoutre]

And Alex, just to give you another reason (as if you needed more ^^) to check out ST : Robert Trujillo. This beast is the actual bassist of Metallica (he has been for more or less 17 years as of now), and he started (if I'm not mistaken) with Suicidal Tendencies. ^^

[@BancigodD9]

Body Count made a Suicidal Tendencies cover/spoof. Institutionalized. And as much as the original reminds me of good metal times in the 80s, I actually like the Body Count's version better.

[@Cfant31]

Just was at Rock on the Range in Ohio, Body Count played and led with reigning blood. A pit opened around me. It was the highlight of the show for me

[@skinnybuddha74]

Dude I think you'd really love SKINDRED. They mix metal with reggae and the resulting sound is unlike anything you've ever heard before. Check out their songs "Nobody" or "Ratrace". I promise your world will never be the same again.

[@theboothy91]

Dude I forgot about them!!

[@superjoefz]

Architects - Doomsday

[@teresas8173]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Rage Against the Machine, Bullet in the Head, 1993, live....... love your channel!!!

[@MirageMusicUk]

Ice T has had his metal band for 25 years haha like how people are acting like they're a new thing, they caused huge controversy back in the early 90s with "Cop Killer" you should listen to "No lives matter" It's so good.

[@gixxusmetalman7435]

Mundo Productions the first bodycount album was the best ..mooseman and ernie C forever!

[@princebusta1st1]

Not at all surprised that BC could handle this they always have been metal as fuck, Ernie C is one of the world’s most underrated metal guitarists

[@miguelignacio2066]

React to Avatar - Bloody Angel ;^)

[@Matt123Chez]

Do Dio - Holy Diver and then Killswitch Engage's cover

[@davidsowell1285]

Love this song! You should check out the whole Judgement Night soundtrack, it is nothing but rap and metal bands working together. Awesome album! Don't forget Sevendust. Lol.

[@ramonebills9318]

Nice reaction dude....

[@aymanzaza7793]

You should react to "Doomsday" by Architects

[@christiankoelsch4924]

Ayman sykes holy fuck yes please

[@severussnape6941]

Please react to Rings Of Staurn: The Heavens Have Fallen

[@Vredesbyrd666]

I saw you in my recommendations for a few weeks now but never rly cared, bc I've seen a few reactions by HipHop or pop/rnb fans. It just proved my opinion that those people just don't know enough about music in some way. When I started watching your Metal reactions I changed mind. You're one unbiased and very smart dude. I like how you're breaking down the lyrics and talk about the instruments and slowly getting into understanding this nice underrated genre. And I like how the metal reactions are blowing up compared your earlier stuff. Take care and all the best for you. Also I've seen some people requesting Doomsday by Architects. It's absolutely worth it and you'll get to know a new genre of Metal which you haven't touched yet. Peace

[@beermageddon4323]

This is sick! 🔥🔥🔥

[@antiquespork5544]

Slayer and ice t have a song together called judgment night from a movie with the same title

[@ennmansworld]

Antiquespork Nope! "Judgement Night" is from Onyx & Biohazard... ;-p badass song...

[@kristinneggertsson5141]

It's called Disorder :)

[@KMFDM781]

Alex, you have to do Disorder...fucking insane song!

[@BroBro-kl9py]

Flow from Everlast in Just Another Victim is dope too.

[@Obitvary]

I second that Onyx // Biohazard joint. That has to be the hardest Rap // Metal collab of all time. If you guys haven't seen Cold World feat. Sean Price - How the Gods Chill that's pretty crucial too.

[@alejandrovillamediana9456]

Anthrax fet. Public Enemy - Bring the noise please

[@RD-ix1tq]

Got to see them way back in the early 90's at a small rock/metal night club, no one really knew what to expect, no one really knew who they were at the time and then they came out on stage and holy shit, it's Ice T, everybody was like, are you kidding, what is this, and then they started playing and OMG, they tore the place down, never will forget that night!!!!

[@billekeman5412]

You gotta check out Black Hoodie or Institutionalized by Body Count. Great songs. Love what you're doing, bro. It's awesome watching you grow musically and watching your channel grow.

[@RoySFord]

Sick cool! I liked this one better than the 1st song too. I could understand the guitar solo and the vocals!

[@danielness2847]

I feel offended

Hey man, I'm so glad to see the channel keeping up the momentum! I would love if you went back to your roots a bit and reacted to Token - Code Red and Witt Lowry - Piece of Mind 4!

[@SadFatMan74]

If you can find it, cover "Cop killer" from their 1st album otherwise "There Goes the Neighborhood"

[@Sippa99]

react to SABATON: "TO HELL AND BACK and ALTER BRIDGE: "BLACKBIRD"

[@TheComicBookJoker]

Simon Pietro Barrovecchio Two great choices.

[@thedominator87]

not to be That Guy, but its not raining IN blood, its raining blood lol

[@thedominator87]

also if you like rock/metal infused rap, check out cypress hill rock superstar

[@befrnigel]

But the album is Reign in blood so he probably got the 2 mixed.

[@thedominator87]

exactly

[@nickmarshall9982]

Body count called their version Raining in blood.

[@tongbb3]

Nick Marshall is correct... Body Counts cover is called "Rain In Blood/Postmortem 2017"

[@haerdy1337]

Enjoy it - your way... ...dont let anyone make you think something else!

[@adiarainfoster]

I remember going to a Body Count concert in a small club in Baltimore. Somewhere in my boxes of photos I have a picture with Ice-T and me that night. Hmm I need to find it now >.>

Dude, you should check out some Avatar.

[@asuraXTC]

kemppaspawn73 my man be specific people might confuse that awesome band with that shitty movie

[@kemppaspawn73]

lol that is true. The band is friggen amazing. The movie was utter trash.

[@scruffybones321]

Wondered when this would happen! It's well worth checking out their other stuff. It generally ranges from very tongue in cheek (like their cover of Institutionalised, which is fucking hillarious) to super serious (like Black Hoodie, No Lives Matter), at which point they get super intense. Honestly they've gotta be one of the heaviest bands around right now in both their tone as well as their lyrical content. They're super underappreciated but they seem to be getting a lot more attention since their last album released!

[@evilbug555to666]

One of the best cover....ice t slays the vocals like a boss...👌👌

[@georgeczajkowski6072]

you should listen to motionless in white Immaculate misconception

or DEEPRESSOR callus

[@tanelkarro9328]

Sabaton

[@camerondodge2070]

These guys were slightly notorious in the 90's for a song on their debut. It has since been removed, and it was called "Cop Killer". Now,thirty years since then, and two years after this video, many more people are saying the phrase 'Ice T's metal band' because they're up for Best Metal Performance at the Grammys. And I'm willing to bet the award ceremony won't be broadcast as part of the filmed event, because the mainstream music industry still doesn't like metal even 50 years on.

[@paulidjit]

I saw Body Count at Lollapalooza 1991 at St. Paul's Harriet Island, seeing Cop Killer months before it became a controversy. It was awesome.

[@rockyramsy]

The slayer version is primitive and only true metal fans enjoy it. The body count version, on the other hand, is more modern and has better production any one can enjoy it

[@MardyBum100291]

Ah dude, you need to react to Body Count - Body Count haha, a true taste of them, they are awesome!

[@Gingerninja321]

First off welcome to the land of metal bud we're pleased to have ya, secondly for love God you need to check out Architects, they're a metalcore band from the UK, they have a mixture of screamo and clean vocals just honey to the ears, so give the track Naysayer a go you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Have a good one🤘

[@xTHIRDHORSEMANx]

Body Count - Talk Shit, Get Shot It’s gangster metal, and it SLAPS
