Metalhead Reacts to Billie Eilish - When the Party's Over

[@realBlakeX]

Hey everyone, I've got a NEW reaction to Billie Eilish (LUNCH) up now on the channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6TTgHuaq5ehe68

[@elliex4550]

bury a friend by billie eilish

[@azuriamead8692]

@M 40 Me, too. Her first songs are good, but too mainstream for me. Her later songs are more interesting 😁

[@Pilutta100]

Yesssss

[@lustekofta6945]

Definitely

[@PettyPerkins]

@M 40 funny to see you here dude lol.

[@johncampbell756]

Another pair of metal fan reviewers called this "the most metal video."

[@cyball390]

She is 18 years old. All of her music is written and recorded by her and her 22 year old brother Finneas in his bedroom at their parents home. Finneas is her producer as well.

[@laurenduffy3567]

Cy Ball her brother is her co righter

[@laurenduffy3567]

They both work on the melody’s and lyrics

[@Skater21Loverboyz]

@Kamil S FINNEAS makes music, it's so good

[@adiarainfoster]

@Kamil S She and her brother co-write. the very first one he wrote alone and gave to her because he through it suited her better. but the rest they wrote together equally

[@babyangelally]

Adia Rain Finneas wrote when the party’s over alone

[@GregySVK]

Hey man, I'm metalhead too and I must admit, I like this girl a lot. My super favourite song is Everything I wanted... If you could react on that, I really would like to see your opinion.

[@Mariogiussepe]

Andrej Gregus I’m a\m/etalhead but I love ❤️ everything else. BILLIE EILISH won my Heart ♥️ with her Originality and Freshness to a Good memory to be a teenager. I love 💕 her \m/usic! “When the Party’s over” the Visuals. Her \m/usic. I’m a METALLICAhead y’know when they had their moment before the cruel music industry and all that Fame , She’s in that Stardom 🌟 situation in her moment!

[@antisocialinput2]

Agreed. 100%

[@ankhgirl3]

Really like the fact that you branch out and react to different things and appreciated your commentary on this video even more. Billie has stated that she has her own feelings about what she writes, but wants the listener to be able to draw their own conclusions and take from it how they feel. Exactly what you just did and that’s the whole point of her music. I think your point of view was very well said. Hope you’ll take a chance at listening to more of her music. Maybe, “You Should See Me in a Crown” or “Bury a Friend” would be a good next peek into another style of her music. It’s all very different.

[@Triggerhippie70]

She’s an amazing vocalist and my favorite Billie song. It’s haunting

[@taylersandlin9320]

Billie eilish is definitely one of those artist that almost everyone likes. She’s very talented.

[@larrybarrjr.6720]

Shes almost made her own genre, in my opinion,anyway.

[@hugannoy4751]

I love how people react to billie: yeah i know this girl.... this Pop artist 🙄 And after listening they are like: 😧♥️ Always beautiful to see

[@Oatmilllk]

Yes, me too. So many dismiss her because she is a young female. Then they are shocked and pleasantly suprised.

[@carolinestewart6874]

It’s also interesting how right after she says “But nothing ever stops you leaving”, you can hear a door shutting in the background which I took it as representing him leaving her and walking out the door

[@InTheLight5292]

Man THIS is how a reaction video should be done!! It’s so refreshing to see this over the usual video “reaction” where someone just watches a video, barely says two words, laughs once or twice, then begs me to like and subscribe. You listen to the song without much interruption, tell us your thoughts, read the lyrics and break those down, then gave an anecdote relating to the song. Perfect reaction video. 10/10 Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@jen.g.]

Chances are you saw a post or two of mine on Facebook. As a fellow metalhead, I still love Billie and will be seeing her in March. Glad you checked her out. This song is good, but she has songs that are darker. Try “Bury a Friend” or “All the Good Girls Go to Hell”. Normally I’d recommend you watch a live acoustic performance, but her visuals are so powerful and intentional in her official videos. As metalheads, I know we appreciate that sort of thing. But I’d recommend checking out more of her stuff.

[@lavenderllamamusic]

I think I've seen you on a few Jinjer reaction videos! It's always cool to see other commenters in other videos. Like "wow, we share this similar taste in music. look at us!" lmao enjoy the concert! I'd definitely consider attending a show of hers myself since i fell into this rabbit hole

[@Darktimes17]

Bury a friend is about her sleep paralysis. She also has Tourette’s and synesthesia. She’s an amazing artist and her brother as well.

[@tiffanyalberti2029]

Please do All Good Girls Go To Hell by Billie Eilish.

[@azuriamead8692]

Billie Eilish - You should see me in a crown (vertical video) If you don't want to watch the video - there's an audio version 😁 It's not my style of music too. I usually listen to Metal, but first of all it was her voice which intrigues me and second it was the video of 'You should see me in a crown'.

[@karend169]

But you have to watch the video. I always like to see people's reactions with the spiders.

[@debbiefox6846]

Absolutely!

[@Loki-pz1uk]

Mmmm spiders 🙃🙃🙃

[@karlaalejandracordova9088]

More Billie reactions please! You’re in for a ride... she is a legend in the making. She is changing the music landscape and not your typical pop star. I think you will very much enjoy her as both an artist and a person.

[@danielgauvreau6349]

Next up should definitely be "Bury A Friend" ! Would love to get your thoughts on that :-)

[@itsmaribell1415]

Personally this song reminds me of my relationship with my abusive ex husband. He was an extreme extrovert and I bent over backwards to make him happy and keep at his pace and I did whatever I could to make him happy. I lost myself "drinking him in" and he just poisoned me, he was toxic and deadly. I barely survived the relationship and he stained me like that black liquid and I quietly had to let go and give up on trying to change him or keep him. (I had to get out while I could.) But he has permanently stained me, even years later I feel a darkness in me that was never there before. (Billie was 17 in this video. Her and her brother were homeschooled and raised in a super artistic home. Their music crosses a lot of genres and I truly appreciate you checking her out and giving her music a chance and reaction. I know music lovers of all different genres who respect her music and maturity.]

[@kenelia98]

None of her music is what you would expect

[@-__._._.__-]

I'm a metalhead and I just recently discovered Billie as well, I've gotta admit I like her quite a lot

[@horrorqueen-ze9tm]

Hey dude, I literally just stumbled on to your channel and was curious to see what you thought. As a fellow metalhead, I would suggest looking more into her music. If not for the music itself, definitely for the lyrics. This young lady and her brother (who she writes her music with) have a thing or two to actually say.

[@yourdoulabrandie1853]

100!!!

[@jessica0180]

I love that when he was talking about the song he played the song in the back round very low and subdued but there👍🏻

[@keithkinkade4265]

51 year old metalhead here and I love her. This girl is the future of pop music. Super talent.

[@silverclover21]

I would totally watch more of your reactions to Billie!

[@captsparrowslady]

You should react to "Bury a Friend," "All the Good Girls Go to Hell," and "You Should See Me in a Crown"

[@billybobtexas]

I’m very much a metal head, and I do love this and several of her other songs. Really great, introspective, sharing her depression and personal issues . It makes it easy to relate to what she is putting down.

[@snakeeyes3308]

As a metalhead i have to say that i like this girl.She's amazing and shes very kind

[@Stinger_tbx]

Most people miss that this is a WALTZ omg who does a WALTZ these days Billie is pure Genius

[@Oatmilllk]

Yes. So many people miss this

[@TheeBrii22]

Anti-pop Is what I call her music... Its so REAL and raw... You feel it so deep not just musically but lyrically as well... Hauntingly beautiful!

[@johncampbell756]

I grew up partying in the Central NJ woods (Neptune, next to Asbury Park). Between her and her brother, they won Grammys in 7 categories this year. Album, pop album, record, song, new artist, producer and engineer. She's the first person born this century to have a number 1 album, her first full length. She had an EP in 2017 when she was still 15.

[@jefffiore7869]

I have heard of her for over a year, always discounted her as another pop singer. Gave her a listen a month ago, Bury a Friend, and I was blown away, she definitely defies expectations and does her own thing. Her videos are her creations and are so artistic. She reminds me of Avril Lavine who in the early 2000s broke the mold and defied expectations on how people thought a female pop star should look.

[@kheatthr1892]

Seen this in my recommended, loved the song already- wasn’t ready for the therapy.... thanks dude

[@HereToProcrastinate.]

I love that he actually listens and tries to understand the song, the kind of reactor I've been waiting for😊 Thank you for keeping an open mind on a genre you're not big on, not all metal heads are as open to it xD

[@zachholton7938]

Like you, I'm decently surprised. I think I enjoyed this. Need a few more listens to know.

[@rain7bow437]

Such a cool and insightful guy. I could listen to him talk for hours 😊

[@Stinger_tbx]

"When we all fall a sleep were do we go?" Front to back is a total trip !

[@lustekofta6945]

Yet another metalhead positively surprised by Billie! Being one myself, and seeing other reactions by metalheads, I'd suggest you listen to and watch "Bury a friend" and "You should see me in a crown" (vertical video). BUT I'd be curious to see what you'd think of her most pop-like song and video as well, which is "Bad guy".

[@amb8814]

I listen to everything, from rock to country, to classical. One of my students told me about Billie over a year ago and I didn’t think twice about her music until I heard “Everything I Wanted” and recently I heard “Ocean Eyes.” I love her and I think she is incredibly talented.

[@hannahdawn9278]

I love how you shared some of your own personal experiences and gave your opinion about deep stuff like this like you're having a real conversation with us. First video I've seen of you, and I can tell you put alot of thought into it.

[@Tragz]

She is legit. I randomly gave her a chance and the more I listened the more was surprised.

[@nyla4898]

hey just stumbled upon your channel and i noticed you made a good point when you said “i’m a metal head so i’m used to this type of imagery” that’s why i love billie she does stuff out of the normal and she brings the two worlds together the subtle pop vocals with the uncommon “dark” music videos, she has something for everyone.

[@stevenclubb7718]

Without sounding anything like him, she reminds me of Alice Cooper. She's got a nice theatrical quality that embraces the use of fiction and horror in her work. She's a bit hit-and-miss with me, but has about a 75% success ratio and some of the arrangements get stuck in my head in a great way.

[@dani.mc934]

Watch Everything I Wanted!!! I’m a metal head to the core!! But that song made me cry!!

[@guywittamic]

Billie starts at 5:11 The first five minutes of the video is just him trying to convince us that he doesn’t listen to pop music… When a guy like him CLEARY doesn’t really need to convince us of something like that LOL

[@joshuanelsen8602]

You speak very well. I respect the way you mentioned you were not exposed to her style of music or mainstream style in general without discrediting it like a lot of people do. That makes you a hero, my friend!

[@Brooklyngreyy]

Definitely do more of her songs! You will be shocked...in a good way!

[@CheerUp2]

A lot of people like to hate her because its popular to hate her, and they see everyone else do it so they should to. Sadly people do that about a lot of music and people :(

[@arielcheyenne1853]

What grabbed me was the juxtaposition of melancholy pure stacked harmonies with inky tears. She chose very carefully when to sing with the track and how she had had her fill of hurt and is overflowing with emotions. It's very teen but also universal to anyone who's ever had to come home alone after breaking up or losing someone. Coming to terms with It must be done and eventually it'll be for the best but it's a lie to say you don't feel the absence.

[@kl6902]

I never followed her before and then I randomly just came across her video for this song and was so emotionally moved, it struck a nerve for me. I felt like the drink signified the toxicity of people/this world and how we’re forced to drink it down for whatever reason. All that toxicity fills us until it pours out and we can’t control it anymore and then it ends up killing us. I was just moved to tears when I saw it.

[@antisocialinput2]

Whether or not you analyze the lyrics correctly or not is beside the point. I loved that the song gave you an ability to talk about and express your thought. To me, music is always yours. No matter who is listening, everyone will take it their own way. Love the video. I love metal and I love Billie. You should ABSOLUTELY react again. I agree with Andrej Gregus; "Everything I Wanted" is an amazing song and video.

[@ladyalison2011]

Billie isn't really "pop" she's kind of her own genre Her and her brother Fineas create their own music based on day to day sounds like dental drills and crosswalk sounds

[@sumofallthings8403]

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I wanted to say standing on my soapbox in the peanut gallery section, I really appreciate your point of view and the conversation on your interpretation of the video and lyrics. I was a vastly different experience for me as what I've seen thus far on (some) reaction videos. Thank you for having a grown up conversation about the music.

[@MyCanemalato]

Her and her brother are really good , there is feeling in those songs, you can feel that they write music for express theyrselfes not aiming for sales or fame. They love music they are weird and they are gifted (Billie and Finnea)

[@rossireplicas1197]

Man u nailed that song analysis right away which is pretty amazing. It's really awesome to see reviews by people who take all music into account. Very well done man.

[@chee1989]

The End of the World cover by Billie Eilish

[@saraw8910]

She actually did this without CGI. The ink was actually coming out of her eyes and hurt really bad but she wouldn’t budge on the visual. She’s very particular about how her videos are made. She’s amazing !

[@delraybrewer]

Two things: 1) Billie in general and this song are great 2) I met and hung with Christina at Edgar Allan Poe's grave here in Baltimore when they performed here a couple years back. One of my highlights in life. We stood and talked over this great mans grave. Ah, gives me chills thinking about it. She's so great.

[@feeling_wicked]

Isn't it funny how like 80% of us seem to have similar stories about 'been there did that' in one form or another when we hit 30. When i hit 40, i remembered saying that at 30 while i was thinking of what occurred over the last 10. I'm 46 now. Now I wonder what i'll think at 50...60...if i'll make it there. Anyways, you're well spoken & I liked your thinking on this.

[@reneemercedes4113]

You should definitely check out Bury a Friend and All the Good Girls Go to Hell next. They both appear linked to When the Party’s Over

[@isisandxerxes]

Stumbled on this by accident and I just have to say I adore you! You're awesome and I really enjoyed this video!

[@alyshaknerr9042]

She produced this video by herself which is crazy! So talented!

[@madr309]

I liked your comment about moving out of your comfort zone, and enjoying when an artist is not what you expected; I had a similar reaction to Disturbed's cover of "Sound of Silence"; I'm not a metalhead at all, but that performance blew me away.

[@andrewcastillo9558]

I like how you clearly know music and talent, which in my opinion, listening to rock or metal or even country, all of which has alot of talent and layers and story's in each song, helps you understand this song more clearly.

[@tragiclyxpoetic6857]

This song means alot to me my ex of eight years was the the party is never over. Type and a addict and it became just like you said it became toxic cause I'm not a party all the time type of person and so this song has a deep meaning to me

[@sciencedude8544]

Just found your channel. I love the way you think and analyze music. As I type, Billie Eilish, 18 yrs. old, just won five Grammys in a single evening! Her life just changed forever. I hope she stays grounded and not taken advantage of. P.S.,.. How many words do you speak p/minute? Maybe second job as an auctioneer? Ha. (:

[@carlynhelaine]

Everything I wanted. HIGHLY recommend. She amazes me honestly. Her brother is a genius. As is she in her own right.

[@jrollins1987]

Not a metalhead, but love Billie. I NEVER subscribe to channels, but the way this guy broke down (in an intelligent way and from experience) how he sees the meaning of the song is the part that's missing from most others reaction videos. I recently discovered reaction videos, so for the last few months, I've found them interesting to see how others are feeling about the music that I like. This guy is good because he reacts to all the parts -- visuals, music, and lyrics. Very real. Like this. This guy might get have me listening to things outside my comfort zone, so I subscribed. Sigh. Ready for metal?? :/

[@andypayne2743]

As a kid growing up in the U.K. we had a guy on the radio called John Peel, that gave me a music education. He would play literally anything from Kraftwerk, Stetsasonic through to Napalm Death there was no genre off limits. So I never became a metal/hip hop/name your genre head but a music head and for that I’m ever grateful. There is so much incredible music out there and music in every form. Would really like to see you react to the official video of This is America by Childish Gambino. If you do, please do it with the video

[@mitsoswu]

Her first song ever was, ocean eyes, where she got popular. with her brother making the sounds and the music. But in general, if you wanna react to any other song of her, don't expect much difference on her voice style ... you know? THAT"S her style right now... don't know if she is gonna change it in the next years, well maybe she will, maybe not who knows... She is an artist and that's what artists do ... creating art. Experimenting sometimes here and there. But lyrics wise, her style goes deep i think. Thoughtful meanings, seeing things through different perspectives and so on....

[@amorky8391]

You've got such pretty eyes! I like that you're stepping out of your normal zone and are really analyzing her song. Great video!

[@mitcht2717]

[May 15, 2024] You're very kind to Billie - for the record, FINNEAS was the sole writer of this song. I have facetiously suggested {I'm a 70 yr old fan} suggested FINNEAS should have to do a video like this with the Black liquid - it would only be fair!!. I love that HOT ONES video. I wondered today - 4 yrs. later - if she is still the youngest person to be on HOT ONES. - I kind of doubt it. FINNEAS also was the sole write for "Ocean Eyes", "My Strange Addiction", "Watch", and "6 Feet Under". For the song "Bored" Billie and Finneas had 2 other songwriteers contribute with them.

[@sergiofernandes8255]

hey, man! really diggin' your journey through music. I've been there too, bruh. I was a straight metalhead for years, that haven't heard anything that didn't have double bass drumming and stuff... greetings from Brazil!

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

All those voices in the beginning...is that Billie's Choir? 🥁

[@thatswhatcheesehead]

i like that you are reading the lyrics and trying to understand the video meaning and the lyric meaning

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Jason Isbell - Elephant I think most people consider that good song for a first Jason Isbell reaction. I think you'll like it :)

[@shauno6799]

I dig, I work in an environment where they play poxy pop music all day on the radio, so I hear the crap, but I couldn’t tell you who sings what. All I know is that they play ( What’s love got to do with it- Tina Turner) on both commercial stations, at least 4 times a day each. Gets me cranky immediately!

[@525569andrea]

I’m not 100% sure but I’ve heard this song, or just she in general, is known for openly singing about depression..which def attracted a lot of people.

[@applecristina]

I really enjoyed your video! I’m looking forward to you reacting to more Billie Eilish songs/videos, her music is something else!

[@s.2314]

I really like that you went deeper than other video commenters. Some of them just are like: "yeah, nice song. I liked. Subscribe. Bye" 😅 so it's nice to see that you dedicated half of the vid for that.

[@theandtet]

Very good reaction very open minded.

[@alyssadelgado2845]

this makes me very happy!

[@toastedkoda]

i love the way you talk. is that weird to say? like it just sounds and looks very genuine and i enjoy it.

[@taylorfausett8129]

Hot Ones rules! That's how I found Billie!

[@ericalovesto]

Your voice is really relaxing for me

[@EvilBonsai]

Dark pop, to me, is pretty "metal" imo. Lana del Rey, Meg Meyers, Billie Eilish, some Halsey, even Chelsea Wolfe to a degree.

[@danielholth]

I really like the way you interpret lyrics. Not just for this, but in general. Thanks for insight :)

[@Pilutta100]

Absolutely not mainstream, she getting all this attention IN mainstream "world" is amazing. I'm a metalhead myself,but I'm a huge fan of independent also, and she "should" be in that genre, but for some reason she is not. Wich I LOVE. Finally some substance within popular music. Hugs from Sweden.

[@arielcheyenne1853]

Good for fucking you dude, for giving her a chance. She's got metal visuals with sweetly teenage sensibilities. And...ya know... massive vocal talent with brilliantly composed production.

[@ashtheviking5007]

This is a reaction video that gets it right. Very well done.

[@adiarainfoster]

Not entirely sure she fits in "pop" exactly. Or in any category for that matter. She's very unique. I heard another reactor try the word "horror pop" that I kind of liked, but yea, very unique. she doesn't SOUND mainstream. She sounds incredible and most main stream is kind of blah lol

[@RoyalPandemic]

I heard someone call it Anti-Pop and Dark Pop and I really like both those terms for it!

[@Selive10]

Loved this video

[@envyme1473]

Definitely should do bury a friend next or you should see me in a crown! Billie is beyond talented!!!!!! Can't wait to see you react to more of her stuff.

[@lawrenceclaudy7124]

Great interpretation bro, thanks for sharing your own experience. My big brother was living the fast and hard life. Shit me too, but I grew up and out of it. I spent many a nights partying in the woods too! Up in Humboldt County. Again, I grew out of it. Sadly my brother did not, and is no longer here. He couldn’t shake the demons. Anyway, great review dude. Didn’t know what to expect out of you, but happy man. Good job.

[@martindumas9023]

when you talk about her range in this song... it's 2 octaves... not too shabby!

[@mariepotts1333]

Stumbled upon this video today and really appreciate the openness to branch out and pls pls do either bury a friend or everything I wanted Billie is an artist me and my son bond over which I think shows how wide her spectrum goes

[@paytonheath504]

Billie Eilish- Ocean eyes

[@reneemercedes4113]

Really appreciate your thoughtful reaction! You gained a sub ☺️

[@realBlakeX]

Thank you! :)

[@cathrinecarrabotta5063]

Really like your insight, I haven't really thought too much about the meaning. I'm usually crying through out. Although I also cry to chimaira's lend a hand so...

[@Hobbitli97]

Could you react to Everything i wanted bybillie eilish?

[@Ekaterine_Kav]

I didn't expect to get life lessons... but it was very helpful

[@hyundts]

this music video is from when she was 16 but she turned 18 last month

[@majbrat]

Love the looks on your face when surprised ... like wtf .. ok. She is really a performance artist as well as talented singer :)
