Skindred - Nobody (REACTION!!!) (REGGAE METAL)

[@TheStarchamber]

One of the best songs in Need for Speed Underground.

[@Doc92IDH]

It was in Underground 2. I remember this, Mudvayne's Determined and especially Rise Against's Give It All as the standout tracks!

[@SilverWolfRacing]

Drew P. Weiner same here. Unthinkable that they put helmet in a video game hahah

[@Doc92IDH]

@@drewp.weiner5708 Pretty sure NFS and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater were responsible for all my future music preferences!

[@drewp.weiner5708]

@@Doc92IDH Yeah, THPS was the other big one.

[@mtgguiltfeeder4111]

Mudvayne was the real MVP of that soundtrack imho

[@MrKorruption]

Saw skindred in early 2000-2002 time frame. Friends band was playing a small small venue in st louis mo, never heard of skindred. Some big black dreaded guy was just killing it the whole show in the mosh pit, then suddenly between sets jumps up on stage and is the lead singer for skindred. Dude was awesome. Great energy show.

[@SgtM0le]

As a Skindred fan, Nobody was their first single. The rest of the Babylon album gets so much stronger but Nobody was their anouncement to the world. Something to make people stand up and listen! Check out Pressure! That's an amazing song. They've now had 7 studio albums and they are definitely going from strength to strength while growing as a band.

[@sleepnomore6065]

I see a lot of comments about Pressure but that's overrated when there are songs like Bruises, Beginning of Sorrows , etc on that album

[@AfroGuy1226]

You weren't lying, Pressure is absolutely amazing.

[@Mechanical-Animal]

This song still kicks ass in 2024.

[@BarrytheCuda]

It's 1998 as you said. Do not forget the impact of Korn and naturally nu-metal vibes over this song.

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

Didn't Benji jump on to do a song or 2 with Korn to cover for JD being sick at Download one year? Never mind.... as I'm typing it that's feeling more like an hallucination! LOL

Korn was the biggest band on earth in 98

[@brockjames9394]

It sounds exactly like korn

[@Blackname51230]

Personally I think "Ratrace" is a much better constructed song. Highly recommend it!

[@bigeverlongnow]

was just about to suggest this.

[@etamika]

Maybe they prefer trap music lol

[@MrBiller24]

I highly agree

[@hat6085]

Absolutely

[@Mitwadus]

It is a Bob Marley cover.

[@christiansmith1389]

"Pressure" by Skindred is a banger! Super catchy and much more accessible than "Nobody".

[@CL32582]

Seconded, def should check out "Pressure"

[@leogetz7123]

Yall forgeting about stand for something game over Kill the power

[@abductorsdrummer3282]

Pressure is definitely what i would have choose to do maybe trouble or Babylon

[@DarkestofTimes]

Or selector

[@pieturkey11]

Tears or the fear

[@TabbyWaddell]

Skindred is amazing, the second and third albums are much better, and they are 10x better live, I've seen them 5 times, and they kill it Everytime.

[@sequoyahbutler8395]

You got that right, they are awesome live

[@louisecookson4786]

They’re my most seen band live to! 7 times so far

[@adampowell5986]

I saw them open for Breaking Benjamin years ago and they were awesome.

[@FullOnRhinosaur]

Daaammmn it's been a few years since I listened to Skindred. I'm excited for this reaction

[@DoomBitch]

Absolute belter of a song!

[@jonbauman457]

Song that introduced me to Skindred was Rat Race. Worth listening to that one. Also Stand for Something. They also do a great cover of Eddy Grant's Electric Avenue.

[@sethputnamsghost]

Game over is great too, I liked them a lot when they were called Dub War as well.🤘

[@robertallcock882]

Mine was Warning, both bangers though

[@Zdude3313Z]

HOLY NOSTALGIA!!!! Haven't thought about this band in a LONG time.

[@Prog4Prog]

Yeah man! Saw them live back in 2006-7 😂

[@Eyeyamgod]

Check out kill the power and their new stuff.

[@schlagdog]

You are missing out because they are still awesome and put out 6 albums since this.

[@carston101]

This bring me right back to MX vs ATV

[@Buckdalorian]

Seen Skindred a few times live. Crazy energy!

[@HangryAnimalsGame]

The Newport helicopter is a scene to behold!

[@chrismarshall39]

YESSSS!!!!!

[@jerredwayne8401]

Duuude!!!

[@austinblessing6545]

My childhood in one game

[@dinolenmunsamy7285]

How I got into them lol

[@hardricreamo]

If you want to hear heavy punk reggae mashup type music you need to search out The Bad Brains. Discography: Bad Brains (1982) Rock for Light (1983) I Against I (1986) Quickness (1989) Rise (1993) God of Love (1995) I & I Survived (2002) Build a Nation (2007) Into the Future (2012)

[@miserablessed86]

Thank you for suggesting roots of reggae and hardcore punk

[@randsblessings]

Yup- HR- OG of streetskate (not-skatepark) background music....skindred been at it for a hot min tho. Definitely Not for everyone.

[@Tusocalypse]

Shit yeah. Bad Brains is a game changer

[@THEShoky]

I know I've seen this live. The energy was RIDICULOUS

[@cyber_beep]

I had hoped you'd do Kill the Power as a first listen by them. In my opinion it's their best "first song" to listen to, almost perfect fusion between genres into one song.

[@nathanmarlin6498]

Well said, I like to think Shadowridge by hedPE represents this aswell

[@jn410]

That's what I say kill the power would of been a better introduction

[@bdubs3819]

Kill the power. Upvote

[@kaneinight]

Completely agree. The choices for recommended songs are usually absolutely awful and never a good representation of the band. I really wish they'd use more suggestions from the non-patreon people, since the choices in song are usually terrible. People should be choosing a song that best represents the band as a whole, not just the heaviest or their personal favorite.

[@williamsk001]

Agreed. Nobody was my first exposure to Skindred and what got me listening to them, but I think Kill the Power is a way better choice for a first listen.

[@filippotema3498]

The boy on the right is enjoying it hahaha, the other one processes it but doesn't fully understand it. you guys are fun, new sub

[@goatboy2042]

This is one of skindred more hard songs and a difficult first one. I'd recommend kill the power, ninja, or that's my jam. They have a party energy and a big discography

[@bdubs3819]

Kill the power

[@Blackwaterjack]

Maximum the hormone is a band I wanna see you guys react to

[@NotAnyoneWorthMentioning]

Yes!!!

[@benjaminargus9563]

Definitely

[@AeonAxisProductions]

[@ovejamacabra6451]

Yesss

[@dynamicjaethought7788]

Babymetal too. I think they would like Megitsune, Karate, and Rondo Of Nightmares,

[@tylerschnabel1743]

"Pressure" might have been a better jumping off point. Maybe even "Cut Dem"

[@projectleescape2885]

I wad thinking Pressure or Selector. 👍

[@Xeranx]

I would agree with Pressure being a better starting point, but it's also a bit more commercial. I had to go through some of the other stuff before I developed an appreciation for Nobody. I'm actually happy I did that because I don't think I would have appreciated Skindred if I started with Pressure or Rat Race and come back to this song.

[@timothybrown9216]

Totally agree.

[@yamuda]

While I agree, personally I really liked "Bruises."

[@lespaulgothstud]

Glad to see them do Skindred but my first thought was "Oh Man this is not a strong song to start with."

[@VonderHorse]

Fire From the Gods - Excuse Me Metalcore mixed with blends of hiphop, reggae and djent

[@dhaddine5472]

Ryan Larocque Yup. These 3. Exactly.

[@musakmanic]

"Ninja" is probably my favourite song from them. "Wildfire" with crossfaith is a great track too

[@samlagos2192]

Just saw skindred last night in London wow what a show

[@tarodchaoslord]

I can't even describe how happy I am that they stumbled upon skindred

[@jasoncole2797]

Skindred are still touring strong, sell out gigs everywhere across the U.K. I’ve seen them at least 4 times a year for the last 5 years. Never disappointed

[@PakoraToes]

Skindred are excellent! Kill The Power is probably a better song to start with though

[@maryfaircloth2989]

Saw them live at a festival with my daughter (her very first) and when they came on it was afternoon with low energy. They started playing and it was like an outside club. Everyone was dancing every kinda way and it was the first time she let loose and started dancing and doing more than just watching what was happening. They were great and though she never heard of them before then it was her favorite band of the day.

I am gladly going to go back and run through your back catalogue. Keep it up. Im glad i found your page.

One of the best live bands I've ever seen. They get the whole crown jumping. It's intense.

[@HannesHenkelmann]

Definitely - saw them 3 times already - extremely great crowds-management!

[@nat2nathan2005]

Skindred are one of those bands that have a way of getting under your skin with time. When you first hear them, they seem a bit out there and a bit strange, but they're so likeable and commited to their art, and their live performances are so full of energy and fun that you find yourself loving them almost against your better judgement.

[@djschmolli]

SKINDRED! Never clicked so fast!

[@shapeshifter7676]

[@keranorris8292]

[@dimitritjonsiefat9143]

Thanks guys, singing Keith Sweat now while making breakfast! :D As a metalhead from the Caribbean, I totally understand your reaction to this live song without context. I have seen Skindred live however, and they totally blew me and my crew away. The whole crowd was 1000% into it and that's where the cheesy parts come out...it fits great in the moment though :) Just don't take these guys too seriously, it's not meant to be prog, just 100% (live) fun. Even their banner is a metalhead cat, so that should hopefully give some more context. If you ever try them again, go for a live show!

This a great band who have done some really cool things.

[@scottwilson5387]

Skindred haven't ever done it for me on record, but saw them live (supporting Bullet for my Valentine) eleven years ago and still think it was one of the best performances I've seen. Can imagine they're the kind of band who make straight-forward, slightly gimmicky records for the purpose of going on tour and really coming into their element on stage when it comes together more, for a metal-leaning party with all these other influences. I appreciate what they're going for, and would make the time for them live, but it's just never clicked for me.

[@xXLadeeBuggxX]

I feel like y'all would've like their song Pressure better. But great video! Thank you for checking it out!

You're right, Nobody is a song for live shows I think. Pressure is easy better for 'at home listening'

[@jordanbrown8386]

I'm 28. This band was born before i was. And i love what they've brought to metal.

[@metalequine]

I love Skindred, but 'Nobody' is not for me. Too repetetive in an annoying way. 'Doom Riff' is more my thing.

[@miserirken]

Finally somebody recomending that specific song.

[@metalequine]

It's way underappreciated. The Union Black and Roots Rock Riot albums were my first exposure to the band so it's no wonder I like that better.

[@jetpelkey41]

Really fun to see y'all try to dig in to this, a song I listened to a lot growing up. With a lot of space between first listen back in the day and now I still enjoy Skindred but it's much easier to see why they didn't blow up. Nobody is probably their best, and definitely most well known song, but it still sort of feels like a prototype. The mixture obviously has something interesting there but the band couldn't never quite find the mixture that evolves beyond a curiosity.

[@nothingmusic42]

Skindred is still an active band; they released a new album last year, Big Tings. i was supposed to see them, but there was an issue with their visas. also, i think you would like "Rat Race" or "Trouble" better. especially the video for "Rat Race", which is done in one take.

By the end of the set that whole place was pumped. Nonpoint and Skindred came back to the same venue a month later and everyone went crazy right from the beginning. Their live just sets the whole thing above and beyond.
