I was NOT prepared for MOTIONLESS IN WHITE

In this video, I was not prepared for how amazing MOTIONLESS IN WHITE is. I went into it not knowing what to expect and I was blown away! If you're a fan of the band, then you need to watch this video!
This is my reaction to my first time watching *MOTIONLESS IN WHITE*, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you've never seen the band before, then I strongly recommend you check them out! They're an amazing live act and this video will show you why!

[@SapheranightTheAlien]

MIW is one of those bands where even when the sound is completely new for them, you still know it's MIW right away

[@punkrocker4life9674]

Another fun fact about this track’s meaning is that it came from Chris’ therapy sessions. He and his therapist dubbed his aggressive side that he’s tried to shed for years, the side of his personality that he struggles with, the “werewolf”. And they named it that because of his love for Halloween and all things spooky.

[@Just_niaxx]

Whaaat but Chris is such a sweetheart he doesn’t seem aggressive at all. But this song is relatable a bit since the past of this year 2022, was not my year. I would start drama and assume things that weren’t true, ruining my friendships and relationships and stop eating too. Just glad I’m slowly getting back to my old self again and MIW and both bands have been helping me. But listening to this song again I can hear Chris is basically talking about his werewolf side and how we all have one. It’s a great Halloween song and a song to jam to when you’re going through a lot.

[@michellereedus9148]

all the interviews ive seen where he talks about werewolf not once did he come close to saying anything like this. where do you get your info?

[@punkrocker4life9674]

@@michellereedus9148 Chris’ breakdown of the entire Scoring the End of the World album on Apple Music. It’s explained under “Porcelain” because Werewolf and Porcelain are companion pieces, hence why they are back-to-back tracks on the album. Come back after you’ve found it.

There is LITERALLY nothing in the world I love more than overdramatic, theatrical music productions. MIW, MCR, Falling in Reverse, Queen.

[@ericaubuchon2771]

Don’t forget Ice Nine Kills, extremely theatrical

[@average_youtube_commenter]

dont forget muse!

[@Encyledus]

Starset!

The "I feel like somebody's watchin' me" is homage to Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me

[@VieuxVodevil]

Finally, someone said it!

[@jessicamaria3223]

Absolutely but MJ was on that track too! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@XlissueslXgaming]

Yes it is, mj did the chorus

[@DMNCJSTR]

Motionless In White always had a harmonic sound and a good visualization for their videos. They just keep getting better and better each song. Great reaction Alex, keep up the good work

[@_Spy_]

Man, Chris's vocals and lyrics will always give me chills, I love this band! 5:03 Actual footage of a werewolf stepping on a LEGO XD

[@vannakrause3021]

Their entire new album is a banger, every song is worth listening to. It is perfection

[@GoblinsStoleMyBrain]

I've been obsessing over the Werewolf video, so this reaction video popped up in my KZbin recommendations. Great stuff! You have a new subscriber!

[@ashleyiveson8697]

Ok but I need a MIW and Ghost collab😭

[@eviemarie73]

Vocals are like damn!! And way to honor Michael Jackson!! Woohoo. Alex you never disappoint!

[@Just_niaxx]

No wonder why I love werewolf so much the MJ references are amazing and I love the dance so much!!

[@robiapicca5967]

Favorite song from the album... I'm happy it's getting some legit recognition

[@animedemon1348]

I just saw these guys live for the first time earlier this month at The Aftershock festival, they rocked. They sounded awesome, the energy was to the roof, and the pit was crazy. There was a guy who had a his 4 year old son on his shoulders while he was moshing, it was amazing

[@lordshadow1138]

Motionless is probably in my top 5 for favorite bands. Especially in this generation. If we go back several albums you would find them stuck in a sound but ever since he did the song voices I think he completely changed his attitude and goals with his music. Chris made voices and it reached out and touched many people and inspired them. He then set out not to be a shock rock Manson fan with an edge but instead to be the guy others want to be. No longer the alternative to another band but rather the band that others want to emulate and be the alternative for. Because his older stuff definitely takes inspiration from others like Manson but his newer stuff is just him being true to himself and it comes out impressively.

[@SpyroTS5]

Imagine if falling in reverse made a collab with them, i feel like what would come next would be awesome

[@MakotoKinoSailorJupiter2020]

That’d be epic

[@Triple-Four]

Ronnie and Chris are friends so it's possible. Though they've been friends for over a decade and we've gotten nothing yet.

[@jeremy8906]

That would be awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Sh1ne42]

I never thought about it before but yes!!

[@yezzyherve31]

En eso estuve pensado todo este tiempo

[@bbschroeder7125]

They did the incredible feat of making a music video look like a combination of Michael Jackson and Falling in Reverse

[@kahlen109]

Yo, I'm always loving how you go in depth with your commentary, it's not dry like a lot of other reactions. High key, motionless in white is a little bit of an underrated band, but that's just my opinion

[@retrocobra2744]

We need a live stream of the whole album react. It’s a solid album and describes what we live in.

[@RONALDSPENCER]

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE voices is my favorite song of all time NOW WEREWOLF!!!! i love u Alex

[@bonnieralph5151]

I love that song and the video is so good, I feel he shows respect for any song he re-does(songs from other artists he puts his spin on-his spin is respectful). Your reactions always make me smile!

[@bsbznumber1fan]

Going through alot right now and this made me feel better so ty Alex for always making my day brighter. Motionless in white is such an amazing band. Right now I'm feeling like a burden to everyone. I was also assaulted yesterday leaving dollar general so now I'm afraid to leave my apt. Music is my life it's helped me through so much and miw is one of my fav bands along with FIR bvb and many others. If i didn't have music in my life i don't think I'd still be here. I'm gonna have this song on repeat for awhile and the reference to MJ was awesome.

[@michaelmcgoff3610]

Really love listening to MIW. Originally from Scranton and had the pleasure to watch and listen to them in the beginning. Got to met them on a few occasions, with original drummer Angelo Parente. Great musicians. Great people.

[@traviswhite9586]

Called me out on the dehydration for sure. 😂 loved the reaction, and though I'm almost disappointed that you hadn't heard this song up to this point, seeing this AMAZING video while hearing it for the first time is an experience that I am jealous of. MIW is so special man, like you said. They are the golden standard for me as far as what makes a band their own.

[@seanquilty6450]

Incredible video!!! Bonus points for the red and black outfits and the call back to Thriller :)

[@HumanEmoji]

Genuinely MIW have become my favourite band. I'm seeing them for the first time support Beartooth next year and I'm so f*cking hyped!!! 🖤🤘🏻

[@shanesprinkle1628]

I saw them in 2019,you’re gonna love them live

[@neworleanslady9664]

You're my fave! Great intro to this band. I'm now a fan, too. Thx Alex

[@mattyorshin]

This song instantly went on my play list the second they dropped it. The music video is dupe.

[@katrinabackman5287]

Great song! Great video! Great band! And your react is always spot on!! I live for more MIW, and I loved the shout out for Michael Jackson References. Keep it up Alex!

[@smileygoth6264]

I'm a huge MIW fan and have been a huge MJ fan since I was tiny and this song made me WEEP and SHOUT with joy when I first heard it. And when the video came out I did both again. So cool to see you enjoying it so much!!!!

[@connorfarrell8404]

Meltdown from their most recent album is so damn good

[@candirenee74]

So glad I’m not the only one who got the Michael Jackson vibes! 1st with the red jackets, then at 2:52 “Somebody’s watching me” was Michael Jackson’s line in Rockwell’s 1984 hit “Somebody’s Watching Me.” But all in a good nod to a Thriller-like video.

[@jessiecalhoun5380]

Alex I'm so loving the different editing you have going on! This is actually my current favorite Motionless in white song but if you haven't already checked it my previous favorite was brand new numb

[@XoChaosmetalxo]

I love that some fans got to be extras in this music video. This new album of theirs is fucking great it’s been on repeat for months I see them in 2 weeks and I can’t wait!!

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

I love this song and video, it’s one I can watch on repeat, and I love the homage to MJ in the video and lyrics because I’m actually named after MJ in tribute to my oldest sister who died 3 months before I was born , and I can’t wait to see them live on Thursday in Peoria Illinois🤘🏽🖤😈😈🔥🔥😈😈🖤🤘🏽

[@Musicisessence]

Have been a MIW fan for years, so glad you love them and gave them a great review, but really just had to say that I absolutely lost it when Matthew popped up! 😂😂😂

[@inked1205]

Love the channel Alex. So fun getting to watch you become a metal fan with a lot of the same first bands I listened to! Thank you!!! Please review Leeched - I, Flatline

[@michellereedus9148]

this is a great reaction video! they definitely do make excellence!!!

[@D4MAGEDONE]

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE best group in the world

[@davidrikersisland8657]

The first time I heard MIW I knew they were going to be my new favorite band of all time, they always surprise me with each album and I love it because that's what music is all about and being in a band is all about 🤘😎🤘

[@hex_a_lexa]

To be honest, the song wasn't one of my favorites at first, but I like it more and more the more I listen to it. But the video, man, this video is one of my favorite music videos ever created. Period. So freaking cool. I'm a total sucker for Halloween.

[@DavidJones-eh8pw]

Heard this earlier today and was wanting you to react to it Alex. Awesome song and band

[@amandawalker7739]

Yay love MiW and was happy you did this vid for their new song

[@seancostello7251]

Been meaning to listen to their new album. This sounds and looks amazing. Gonna give it a listen today 🤘🤙

[@LordPhyroxis1]

For all your praise for Motionless in White, i'm amazed it took you this long to find the new music they dropped starting way back in March

[@josenava4659]

Im in this music video and I still can’t believe it 😂 it was such an amazing experience to witness this being filmed in person

[@beverlygraff1262]

This for sure gave me thriller vibe but in a good way and they made it their own original song. I love it

[@chadedick7911]

This was my favorite track off their new album

[@szynom2587]

At first high vocals I was thinking "Wait, is it MiW or Ice Nine Kills?" That could be a collab in this song

[@angelamerican2091]

You crack me up!😂 You are too funny! Thanks for making my day! Great song!

[@rocketpewt5015]

is this exactly what i was thinking!!! i want to get up and dance with them😂

[@Kristen_michelle0515]

This song was so much fun seeing it live!

[@ChrisYdT]

Your energy bro 🙌🏻😂😂 We would be friend Irl 😎 I’ve also seen them live twice and I’ll forever love this band lol.

[@wwyd4akb]

with the mention of MJ I now can't get the hope of Alex reacting to the cover of 'they don't really care about us' by BIB out of my head

[@marinab4960]

Although I think you should react to the whole album, maybe try Porcelain from the perspective that it partners with Werewolf. (They have a lyric video.)

[@brettlaufer2936]

You can definitely see the ice nine kills influence from their bassist

[@JackandRose911]

I think it's great that I've never heard a bad song or seen a bad music video from MIW. theyt make nothing but awesome music and I love that about them.

[@tristenbarnett3604]

Bro Bad Omens will be in Houston November 7th and Motionless in White will be in Houston November 8th! I'm going to both!

[@hakkigakki2050]

Imagine a cooperation between motionless in white and falling in reverse

[@Inherit_Drums]

Here me out. I was helping helping my partner cook breakfast. I heard the Christmas intro, I thought it was an add… I turned around to skip it, and it was you.. ALEX YOU GOT ME YA BASTARD 😂😂😂😂

[@armyfallatthediscotwentyon5019]

This song is somehow even better live. Like I love this song but hearing it live was an experience

[@ipciayaminafontanezreyes2033]

I was like.. OOOUUUHHHH This is good 😍

[@viviandarkbloom3118]

love the beggining bro 🤣🤣🤣❤

[@adamkral3958]

I was waiting for this

[@seanpurdom6380]

For some reason... I wanna hear Motionless In White do a cover of Shot In The Dark or Mr. Crowley by Ozzy. After hearing this song, I'd love to hear how they'd recreate one of those. I'm not a HUGE HUGE Motionless In White fan, although yes, I do like them. But this song is really good for one of their softer singles especially. It's very thematic and schematic which I truly dig. It's not just a song, but it's actual entertainment wrapped within entertainment for the ears, and the eyes, if you choose to watch the music video. But just hearing them is more than enough to capture essentially what this band is all about and what they're trying to do and bring to the listener.

[@matthewmayhem9213]

Dark Divine should do a cover of MIW's Masterpiece song.

[@Paul_TheOutcast]

This is one of my favourite songs from their new album and the music video is so well done looks more like a short film than a music video 🐺🖤🤘 If you want a song and bad you haven't heard off then check out "Ditchwater" and their song "Save Your Apologises"

[@leolinkinpark_motionless]

Motionless In White The best 🖤 In This video i Saw a Chris Jackson /Thriller Style 🖤😍👀✨

[@jn3440]

I’d say check our Masterpiece from the same album if you haven’t already it’s amazing as well.

[@cezarmrf]

He already did.

[@minnasirvio3184]

So many songs sample..sounds good

I am in need of water. Also, MIW is definitely one of my favorite bands due to the constant "mixing it up". Also, if I may add, the band "Dark Divine" might be worthy enough to check out. 🎃🎄

@teleg_rram 👉Sam_pilgrim11👈 Impossible! I don't win things. Although I wish I could. I won 3 weeks of being grounded when I was 13 for eating pie crust. I mean, I was hungry. And it was the last sliver in the fricking container!

[@zacharyengle4256]

Still blows my mind that the band behind "Immaculate Misconception" made a pop rock song, one that's among my top five MiW songs no less.

[@teresaweber5194]

[@schuylerschultz804]

Gonna keep asking for it in the hopes that one day you finally get to it, but please, please, PLEASE do a reaction to Rhapsody of Fire's "I'll Be Your Hero"! It is RIDICULOUS how enormous their vocalist's range is, and the guitar playing is insane. It's also epic as hell! You will NOT be disappointed!
