Old Composer REACTS to SPIRITBOX RULE OF NINE live one-take performance | Composers POV 🤘

[@danielortegam]

This guy: *starts slapping his air bass” Me: *looks at him nodding in excitement like he can see me*

[@gb8676]

Are you me? I described this channel to my buddy as it’s like showing someone who you know will appreciate something you love so much.

[@wyattE415]

I know....right? He really has a way of breaking that fourth wall and connecting with his viewers. I love that...especially because it feels good when you can jam to songs that you like that someone else is really liking too. Nowadays it feels like there is so much variety in music (which is a good thing overall), but an unfortunate side-effect is it gets more difficult to find fellow fans to network with. I think that is why creators like Old Composer really resonates with a lot of people. I know that is a large part of it for me is the empathetic jamming out and how he feels the music in a way that I certainly do too.

[@opie9617]

Before reading this, I was doing *just* that. Hilarious.

[@twainjones]

Yes. You are a human being, we all are, we all do that my brother 🤟 I just did the same thing 😄

[@BruinChimay]

Loooool!

[@jeredcarney7922]

Man, it is so refreshing to see a "reaction" video that they actually appreciate the pads, builds, and everything else. Actually listening to the music!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Thanks Jared!

[@frighty]

Geeking out is great. Don't apologize for how you've been doing things, explaining things, etc. You're very interesting to listen to with regards to how you analyze and discover sections of composition.

[@twainjones]

This is what i love about KZbin comments. It reminds us we are all humans 👏 I agree 100 bazillion gajillion percent.

[@Houdasay]

Geebin out

[@MrNickoOD]

agreed i love when reactors like genuinely freak out (not when they do it just for the video but like a genuine reaction)

[@camlloyd3321]

Yes, and it is definitely worth a view.

[@nightfire1011]

This needs to be done!

[@mattsanchez81]

Yep, 100%

[@jen.g.]

This.

[@baconcakesss]

Couldn’t agree more. Love seeing reactions to that one. I’ve watched it so many times and it still blows me away.

[@ninjasonthelawn]

Spiritbox did a live from home show for Liquid Metal on Sirius Xm last week and they have released two videos from that performance that are pretty good . The 1st one has Holy Roller and Rule of Nines , the 2nd vid has Blessed Be and Belcarra . Another really good studio performance from them is The Mara Effect Live from Silverside Sound , it's a little bit longer of a vid but they play parts 1,2, and 3 of The Mara Effect . It's a sonically beautiful performance .

[@chris210racer]

Part three comes out today

[@Blarkysh]

@@chris210racer probably tomorrow, christmas day, maybe we can expect a new song?

[@feedyourspeakers]

Yeah, the liquid metal live videos are wayy better, plus has all members playing

[@jeremys8841]

Thanks for adding this. These guys deserve any recognition they get. Super talented.

[@Cardas_Copper]

The Mara Effect Live from Silverside Sound is great!

[@ApheeSeven]

Wow, your details on her voice's description amazed me too.

[@kadriblabali]

Don't apoligize my dude, you're very educational, you're making me notice stuff I never noticed in songs I've heard a million times

[@TDTingey]

Courtney is an animal, so much emotion and power, please do spiritbox - constance

[@robsimms3234]

The thing that makes her special is she can communicate her empathy and pain through her voice. The techniques are definitely prevalent. But, it's her RAW emotion that MAKES you FEEL it. "Circle with me" is the best example of complete master of lyricism, for me. It's about choosing to live. Holding the flame of life. She truly is amazing, as is Maynard from Tool. There are many special people in this world, and I thank them everyday for guidance through my own subjective hell. Everyday.

[@MastahChuck]

Spiritbox - Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound is a must watch. It's a 3 song one take recording of one of the bands original pieces that I think best showcases both their musical prowess and versatility.

[@scottwalker2171]

Mike their guitarist, and Courtney’s husband has guitar play through of most of their songs, which I think you’d enjoy.

[@stevenfitzgerald8512]

Gotta say, I've been watching more than a few of these reaction videos from Key of Geebz, and between him and Elizabeth Zharoff, I get all the reaction I could ever hope for. Professionals that know what they are talking about and come at the music from radically different directions. Amazing insight that opens my mind to new ways of listening. I'm just floored.

[@jeremys8841]

Agreed.100%! Professionalism, incredible knowledge, curiosity, bravery, and authenticity seem to embody them both! Merry Christmas, everyone, and thank you, Mr. Decomposer! 😊

[@blaireeee344]

For your "through the universe" comment - I think you absolutely nailed that. I thought to myself it almost had a cosmic vibe right out of the chaos. Right on.

[@thebeardedironman]

Spiritbox are amazing. What drew me in has absolutely nothing to do with her looks, but the AMAZING melodies, the bass and drum sections, the ethereal guitar work and chords, it all just works together as an amazing dynamic- something no other band has. They also continue to evolve their sound, unapologetically, and it has reinvigorated my desire to play guitar. SOO stoked to see them with my wife in April! GEEBZ, PLEASE DO A SLOW BURN ON THESE GUYS! They have some absolutely amazing tracks. I don't think they've done a single bad song yet!

[@marcusweatherbee8195]

The Mara Effect pts 1-3 live at Silverside Sound, its all in one video. That is a must!

[@TheHeadown]

You are about the best "reaction" dude I think I´ve seen. You seem humble, genuine, and "normal" and that goes far in my book. Keep it up, Sir. 👍

[@Magnosummit]

Drumroll Tony is pretty good too. Don't know if he's been active for as long as this guy, though.

[@jamesm6851]

Cool reaction. I've listened to this song like 100 times since it came out and you made me notice things in it that I'd not really picked up on before, like the pads. Love spiritbox- they're crushing it at the moment. I think their strength with this last series of singles is that their song writing is very concise and super tight. I'd be interesting to see you react to humanity's last breath from a producers standpoint. Their new songs in particular like earthless and vittring have some really interesting instrumental effects and layering. Be warned - heavy AF though!

[@Miller_Time]

A full head of hair! Never would have expected. Big Mahalo bro! I really like this performance

[@joshandicoechea6770]

Most beautiful voice out right now!!!

[@holliknosho1251]

Spiritbox!!! I’m soo obsessed! I love her RAWR!!!

[@manny75586]

The harmonies in this song are absolutely gorgeous.

[@A_Salty_Fishe]

I have great plans to binge all your videos, I initially planned to have them on in the background while working, but I think this channel deserves my full attention

[@rareformx]

Love that Spiritbox has been getting a lot of attention as of late! Great video

[@rsbdotexe]

Welcome to Spiritbox, who have yet to release a full length album. This band is going to be MAAAASSSSIVE.

[@carlchameleon9847]

blud was right

[@Mazdalution]

Just announced a new album dropping in march lol

[@rsbdotexe]

@@Mazdalution my comment was from 3 years ago haha

[@creepyhydra2541]

Ugh I love her. She’s literally got it all. And you do the same thing I do when listening. The goosebumps, the listening face you make when you are listening for correct pitch and key. I love it. Here voice almost makes you emotional. It’s that good. Great to see you enjoy it as much as I did haha.

[@enkei2031]

The king of blue balling the entire audience with those pause timings - just jokes, still loved your analysis, keep it up!

[@Cobrass67]

i dont have the ear to appreciate music to this level so its great to watch u dissect it with such love for detail

[@trevordavis9817]

Glad you finally got to spiritbox. You should check out there live in studio performance of the Mara effect part 1,2&3 it’s epic. I think you would love it.

[@FlippyMcBossman]

Instantly subbed after you described it as "flying through the universe" WORD FOR WORD MY REACTION ALSO!

[@MrFortyanight]

This womans voice is amazingly beautiful... love it

[@anxietyonline1947]

I love that you let the songs ride for a bit. It drives me nuts when reactors pause it every 10 seconds. You absorb it and then give great insight. Cheers!

[@vanilla_milkshake]

thank you for making this video! I had heard Spiritbox a couple years ago and really liked them, but I listen to A LOT of music and they fell off my radar. Watching this rekindled my interest in the band!

[@brianrawlins5401]

Courtney seems to hit those screams at perfect pitch so effortlessly. Its insane to watch

[@bymyenemy]

Dude, you have the best reaction videos on KZbin. I’m calling it. You always hear things i haven’t heard and i am A musician so that’s rare. Also love seeing How happy, passionate and genuine you are.

[@dynatwenty]

Ok lets watch another 20 vocal reactions of Courtney, lets go. You´re cool by the way !

[@hiighflyer13]

Aloha brother! Just wanted to say thank you for the content that you've shared over the last month. Music is a passion for me and especially dissecting songs for their really cool rhythms, time signatures, arrangements, etc. and this year has been tough because of the forced separation it's hard for me and my friends to get together to do that. Your channel has been a bright spot here at the close of this very challenging year! So thank you again, Merry Christmas, mele Kalikimaka to you and yours. Keep on brother!

Great to see people are still getting into Spiritbox for the first time because of these videos

[@diabolicwaste]

Geebz glad you saw this one

[@tarnocdoino3857]

I saw this one take for the first time, never had heard the band before, and about fell over at the “I Deed it”. Came right here for the after song. Glad to see it was also enjoyed.

[@go4stboy774]

I could be the only person who thinks this but you shouldn’t apologize about going too in depth. I could really listen to you talk for an hour about each song. I started watching for the Tool and have since discovered new music! Great channel!

[@jonmartinez9475]

Courtney is simply BAD ASS as we say on the southside of Chicago. 🤘👊🤘

[@MUGENDRIVER]

amazing to see this thank you so much

[@d.hodgsky]

Oh hey Geebz! Please more Spiritbox! Yellow Jacket (ft Sam Carter from Architects) off the new album is fantastic! ... Honestly anything from Eternal Blue is great.

[@Therealchrist]

Glad you enjoyed the song mate! Don't worry about researching a band beforehand. So much of what people are looking for in these metal reactions is the reaction to the first time hearing the band/scream etc :P.

[@MaynardsSpaceship]

Are you familiar with Animals as Leaders? 😁

[@substanceplayer2088]

I love this group, hope he does a reaction to them soon

[@christopherblowers443]

Its a must.

[@ledgy69]

The brain dance surely!

[@marcusweatherbee8195]

Although CAFO isn't the best song to introduce people to AAL, I think Geebz is one of the few that can fully appreciate that song as a first listen. Although Brain Dance would be phenomenal. Physical Education might even be a better one to start with!

[@rynocop7958]

CAFO would be interesting to see

[@johnsmalls6936]

Im glad this band is getting out there i was a fan of her previous bands.

[@davemcelfresh3968]

2:15 best line ever geebz 😂 your videos are like therapy. Best decomposer on flufftube

[@caseypeth9275]

Probably the coolest thing about these videos is seeing you geek about the technical music aspects of the songs them selves. also I hope you learned that spiritbox is like a family business. All self made through friends, family, and an incredible passion for heavy music. Thanks for supporting them. I absolutely love them!

[@TFrancis002]

Morning good Sir! What a way to start off the morning. Love me some Spiritbox.

[@roryluukas2703]

Your style of reacting is AMAZING!!! It's so informative and great. This is music I listen to all the time but you teach me new things every time and give me even more appreciation for it!

[@muaddib4329]

Im just here to appreciate not only that you listened to Spiritbox but also because you love Guthrie Govan and he's a genius that inspires my own guitar playing. Also, love your insight on arranging and production. These are the things that help me appreciate music so much more. I had never noticed all the details in those pads in the quiet section right after the first screaming section. Thanks for opening up my ears

[@chrisgoldston9755]

You will love the Mara Effect live take, all three parts, but musically and vocally brilliant....definitely my favourite!

[@tovackarlsson5084]

You would absolutely love their one-take on “Circle with me”, no matter how many times I’ve watched it I still get goosebumps

[@lonederanger3581]

The emotion you showed listening to this and to Periphery hits home. Loving all the reactions.

I was going to request for a reaction to this song, as I've just discovered this band the other day.

Just wanted to say I am a very big fan of your work and I love jamming out with you to some of my favorite tunes right now. It's a lot of fun.

I have been playing music for 15 years and I never really noticed (or even knew they were called) pads until you brought it up and explained it here. Didn't even notice it in this song even though I've listened to it almost everyday for the past 2 months. Now I'm noticing pads everywhere and it's amazing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm for music!
