Metalhead Reacts! The Weeknd - Starboy ft. Daft Punk

[@dolphinzone8639]

The Weeknd changes his style a lot, his older style is actually pretty different compared to his newer songs, the point of suffocating himself was to kill his old self and his old style, also his “new” self has a different hairstyle than the one he suffocated. Daft Punk created the beat for this

[@MarcinOfTheNuclearVillage]

Weird thing brother... I'm becoming a fan of this guy. Rapidly. There's something about him reaching Michael Jackson's legendary levels. Seems like high quality POP Music is making its cool comeback. I like it. A lot. ...I like seeing you creative, wise and full of energy as well Blake. That's one of these things which make me happy AF. Keep it up. Never stop. It's good for you brother. \m/

[@realBlakeX]

Thanks man! You know I appreciate the words of support!

[@johan-pf2ee]

react to “can’t feel my face” or “the hills” u well love it!

[@shashvithdayal606]

Hell yeah he's 💯 right. I recommend you to check out "the hills" first.

[@amir_xo2792]

@@shashvithdayal606 I recommend house of balloons instead

[@cglenn1457]

House of Balloons for the post-punk vibes and THEN The Hills. HeLL YES.

[@jacobzbin7853]

You picked up on the meaning of the video really well on first watch! This is the first video I've seen on your channel and I love your breakdowns. Please do more Weeknd you will love it! House of Balloons, Professional, The Hills, and Faith are some really interesting songs I would love to see your reaction to. They are more difficult to digest but they're extremely interesting.

[@AriNoelle1]

He is killing his old self. He changes his style with each album he makes referred to as “Chapters” by him and his fans. This is his first album after becoming a “starboy” or blowing up in mainstream. his older styles were very heavy, druggy R&B. Hes saying look what youve done youve made me a popstar essentially

[@cglenn1457]

Fantastic! NEW SUB! You summed this up astutely for being so new to Abel, AKA "The Weeknd". I'd call this song a "flex" or tongue in cheek brag. He started out his career categorized as "Alt/dark R&B" and gained a cult following. He was an underground phenomenon. Through verse, he informed his fan base that he was going to reach for a higher level of fame and wealth and hoped they'd still follow and enjoy his music when he went mainstream-pop. Obv, many fans saw him as a sell-out after the success of "Beauty Behind The Madness" (the album prior to the Starboy album). This song is his response to the sell-out label. It's not deep like most of his stuff (I am a *FAN* of all his work, though I prefer his older stuff) but with the assist from Daft Punk and those amazing beats, this song is still a vibe and a banger.

[@y0ungg0d76]

You can react to "The Hills" I think u will prefer it more

[@salmonero6472]

Daft Punk is a DJ/Producer duo, and probably one of the most influential groups in dance/edm music. You have most likely heard some of their songs like "around the world" , "one more time" They've been in the game for decades now. Really enjoyed the reaction as usual ✌

[@grizinator1235]

"The Hills" is definitely a song you should check out by him.

[@Strfkrxo]

Also daft punk was in the painting as i mentioned in my other comment they usually appear as robots after their 2001 HIT MASTERPIECE of an album “Discovery” also the weeknd is killing his old self. He has always been a very mysterious persona and each album represents a different character. He is my fav artist and i recommend kissland as an album to react to

[@Strfkrxo]

Hey man huge Daft Punk and The Weeknd fan here! Id say listen to house of balloons/glass table girls. Its one song that has two parts, all i will say. It blew me away in 2013 and got me into him from then. His old style was what appealed to me at the time and i appreciate his new stuff too but as someone who watched him grow, see where he came from and how he got so big! Daft Punk are Electronic french house duo with the robot helmets and they revolutionized it. You’ve more than likely heard “ONE MORE TIME!” but i also recommend reacting to “human after all” by them or “ da funk”

[@AlyPicon]

It’d be cool if you checked out The Hills or Wicked Games!

[@shashvithdayal606]

Facts💯💯💯💯💯

[@cristixo8027]

The cross means reborn and yeah,he killed his past self and went more mainstream,I feel like you'll love some of the songs from his first album,Trilogy,we XO would love to see you react to that

[@goodkiid543]

Wicked Games - The Weeknd give it a listen

[@dereknolan5587]

Gotta listen to him when he was hungry, wicked games

[@Zoza15]

If you like Blinding Lights, you should try ''In Your Eyes by The Weeknd, that's also a 80 synth waves style. In each album the Weeknd presents himself in a new style, that also includes his looks to stay away from his past self to involve into someone else, for the better or worse. The tracks of the videos also differentiate on the basis that many tracks are likable but some are dark and deep and others are just flauntly regular pop style songs he does. He is most certainly an artists that makes you listen, no matter the genre your into, he has songs that you may like from time to time. I also am a fan of Metal/ The Symphonic Metal kind, but the Weeknd most certainly did raise my eyebrow of the art he makes, and that is quite rare.

[@ДенисКондратьев-у9ъ]

I love his voice.Remind me of Michael Jackson By the way: It's a pity that you don't listen to Cradle of Filth. Their last 2 albums(Hammer of witches and Cryptoriana) are fenominal!They had a second wind.Yes, this is no longer black metal, but extreme gothic metal with a dash of black metal.Please listen to these 2 albums in your free time.

THE HILLS

[@yemehachiaki]

Hey dude, you may enjoy Daft Punk medley made by Pentatonix, a brilliant acapella group. I discovered them with this medley and now they are one of my favourite bands! Cheers from an italian coiler \m/

[@realBlakeX]

I'll add it to the list! Always nice to hear from a fellow Coiler!

[@yemehachiaki]

I really appreciate what you do, you make me smile in hard times, thank you so much, keep smashing 🤘🏻 Hope to see you in my country in the future! Meanwhile I wish you the best.

[@SparkimusPrime]

He just dropped a video for Die For You featuring that same neon cross. Also, you should DEFINITELY check out Take My Breath off his upcoming album. Hella synth everywhere lol it’s really, really good 🖤

[@SabrinaBoss]

Oh the cross, and him killing his past self, he sold his soul now he’s a star boy

[@cristixo8027]

Loved your reaction and breakdown

[@stefanropotean]

My gosh dude, you should definitely react to Party Monster by The Weeknd. I’m 100% confident it will be to your liking. I don’t want to spoil it, but I think you’ll enjoy it 🙂

[@cglenn1457]

yes, agreed. That song and video, but also the "House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls" audio might be up his alley.

[@stefanropotean]

@@cglenn1457 I can totally see that! Honestly I’d just like him to listen to his albums in order, I think he’d vibe with all of them

[@cglenn1457]

@@stefanropotean yeah but that can be so overwhelming a task to ask of someone who isn't a huge fan of the genre to begin with. The Trilogy rabbit hole goes so deep. Maybe if he's gone down Pink Floyd's "The Wall" he'd be up for a similar experience? Because the mix-tape era, for me, is perfect for scheduling a whole day to get stoned with a lover and vibe to it. It's a whole damn experience! (As I know you must know!)

[@MartinShanti]

The beat is Daft Punk, so since you like it, you should check them out. Some of their older stuff is quite hard and the beats are pumping. They sadly just retired, but their music lives on. This video is from 1996 I believe. When MTV was still playing music, not reality TV. xD kzbin.info/www/bejne/o57MZ2N4mZmdidU

[@mkelly534]

I do not know how many non-XO fans know the story behind this song. Abel and Daft Punk were working on "I Feel It Coming" which was supposed to be the lead single for the Starboy Album. But while Abel was working on that song one of the members of Daft Punk had that drumbeat sample on his phone and he kept playing it. Abel heard it and got obsessed with it. So they stopped working on I Feel It Coming and they sat down and wrote a song based on that drumbeat. It took them 30 minutes to do it. And now Starboy will be a Diamond record shortly.

[@gregtaylor7101]

You should definitely react to House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls by The Weeknd it is unreal i think youll much prefer this one

[@jasminlapanske4331]

I like it that you are always really trying to understand the lyrics+ i think that you would find all of his "AFTER HOURS" videos, VEVO performances +lyrics interesting, even if you might not always like the beat(HEARTLESS,AFTER HOURS,IN YOUR EYES,TOO LATE ,FAITH(Vevo),SAVE YOUR TEARS(OG Video))

[@Mill10n]

Check out “Initiation” the weeknd you might like it from Trilogy Album

[@JLopez-ve3sq]

Well, it's obvious that you love the beat...Daft Punk makes no mistakes in production...

[@Keshavkeshav24411]

Check out The Hills or Wicked Games by him pls!

[@Thefire591]

Listen to old stuff from trilogy, much more unique than the new more "pop" stuff.

[@banananaz674]

You gotta react to the new Darko US album, if I had to choose 1 song: Splinter Cell

[@brandimachulis7820]

The hills is a great song by Abel

[@rockkmee28]

Definitely react to more of his music he’s got some pretty good ones! I really love your channel and if possible could you react to Burna Boy “real life “? Check out that video it is rap but I’d love to see your reaction to the official video

[@leaksnips4u271]

Yes it was daft punk I’m the painting😁😁😂

[@Angel-kz9bi]

DO PARTY MONSTER BY THE WEEKND I FEEL YOUD LIKE IT!

[@Mill10n]

Plz listen trilogy album you won’t regret it...

[@stanzinpasangixa2757]

Yeah it' was deft punk

[@Yat_FON]

and daft punk made the beat

[@Yat_FON]

yea I didn't like this as much either this was supposed to be like him showing you he can brag too and saying look what you done I'm a star with the play on the cross we should all know what that means

[@iesickboy]

Ugh. I've seen several of your reactions, but I see you're that "I like the beat but have no idea what was said or what the song is about" kind of guy.
