Music Teacher Reacts to Architects "Royal Beggars" | Music Shed #94

[@ChadChinchilla]

wait a second, not one comment telling him to listen to the piano reprise of doomsday??? You will fall in love with that one!

[@rhettpuzio3590]

I second this. Piano Doomsday!

[@iMattLewis]

Yes yes yes yes yes

[@DerDer84]

I didn't even know there was a piano version of doomsday! But I saw Royal Beggars and thought why isn't it doomsday though?

[@ChadChinchilla]

@@DerDer84 it's crazy you listen the regular doomsday feel all that emotion, and then they put out the piano reprise and it still carries just as much emotion

[@dwzzzzy]

YEEESSS!!!!!

[@maehelsinki6464]

Architects is a true powerhouse. Doomsday and a wasted hymn are also great songs

[@Delok.]

Gone with the wind is just painfull, once you listened to the lyrics as well.. It still hits hard as well :D

[@YellBT]

I think there isn't one single song from them that I don't like, they are all great in there own ways. And they are really nice people too !

[@tjkitrooper6522]

I 2nd Doomsday

[@sarcasm4371]

These Colours Don't Run, Numbers Count for Nothing, Broken Cross, Gravedigger, Colony Collapse, Memento Mori, Behind the Throne, Black Blood, Even If you Win You're still a rat, to name a few favorites.

[@wesleyhackelton4849]

Wasted Hymn and Dying to Heal are my two favorites from that album

[@christopherjackson9428]

"Animals" and "Black Lungs" by Architects are new singles that you absolutely have to check out!

[@bengbengdwi]

Yeah !!!

[@sudhanshutripathi1283]

Dead butterflies

And still, they conquered the world. So not sure what you're trying to say here buddy. Lars may not be the best drummer in the world, but he still is a good drummer, anyone who says he isn't is just jealous of him.

[@adhdraidsagain]

This band gives me chills no matter how often I listen to them. Their story, especially in recent years, is one of both tragedy and strength. The band was founded by twin brothers Dan (drums) and Tom (guitar) and in 2016 Tom passed away from cancer. He was their primary song writer (including lyrics) and their album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us is about him coming to terms with the fact that he was going to die very soon. After he passed, his brother took over the songwriting duties and the album this song is from "Holy Hell" is, in my opinion, the best album about facing loss and dealing with grief that exists. I've yet to find another heavy band that portrays emotion and pain the way they do and it's so cathartic.

[@KILLMOORE]

Huge facts

[@polygonthelabel4115]

Word man! The only band that comes to my mind regarding the expression of emotions and pain even if it is not the same genre, is Linkin Park in my humble opinion. You very correctly pointed out "Another HEAVY Band" That's right!

[@FEARMUSICUK]

His name is Sam Carter, & he’s from my hometown. He remains flawless at every show. He has no idea how he does the transitions between clean & screamed vocals.. I’ve actually asked him on a million occasions aha

[@idrinkmilk282]

Sold his soul at a crossroads

[@HAZMATt207]

As a drummer, I’ve never been more inspired by “I am an asshole”. Lmao

[@NolieKBGabia]

He should make a piano cover of every metal song he reacts too. That piano attempt was beautiful man

[@MusicShed]

I think I’m gonna do that, record an album of solo piano covers of these songs.

[@GCoWife]

[@luismgoncalves]

[@phillipjoy7821]

Late reply, but hearing you on the keys for this song screams the need for a cover. You will do it justice and welcome fans of this incredible band.

[@zac2461]

Dan, the drummer, and his brother Tom founded this band. Tom died a few years back from cancer so they lost their lead guitarist and song writer, Dan took over as the writer for this album and dedicated it to him. Please react to “Gravity” by them it’s fantastic.

[@sarcasm4371]

Memento Mori is a must, especially the fan lyric tribute. It really details Tom's outlook on his life as he was passing.

[@zac2461]

@@sarcasm4371 I completely agree, only reason I suggested gravity over other All Our Gods songs is in my opinion the music video is the best of them. The music video quality on HH was much better

[@sarcasm4371]

@@zac2461 Well to be fair I would never really suggest a music video for an Architects song unless it's one of their live performances. Lyric videos are always more enjoyable with such a talented lyric writer such as Tom.

Finally. I was hoping for Gone With The Wind but this will do Also Movements is another great band to check out

Royal Beggars is hand down my favorite Architects song. Gone with the Wind is also amazing.

[@adipsia6154]

I love when you riff around in the key of the song, like in the midpoint of the video! I've been a percussionist for twenty years now, but still marvel at people who can just play with scale and notation like I do with rhythm

[@GCoWife]

“They need to put a coat on they might catch a cold” is the most dad thing I’ve heard! Fab react! Love your channel!

[@Kkesh704]

I think you'd love Gone With The Wind and A Match Made In Heaven, both by Architects, the former has super heavy lyrics and was written by Tom Searle, while the latter really shows Sam Carter's vocal range

[@BlackxGarden]

While you're down the British metalcore road, check out While She Sleeps - Silence Speaks (feat. Oli Sykes) or Anti-Social. Love Architects, have seen them live a couple of times and his vocal on this song is amazing live too. He also uses his characteristic "BLEGH" noise near the end of this one. He didn't "invent" it but since they got big it's become more common to hear that vocalisation in metalcore. What's not that common and the reason I usually recognise his vocals immediately, is the tonal screams (rather than playing with the vowel sounds to change the pitch). I was watching Matt Heafy do a live acoustic cover of this song on Twitch and he commented that this was a kind of scream that he can't do at all.

[@mryurih1172]

You found the entire Architects sound with your piano in like 30 secs.. Fantastic, this is education.

[@martintoldi6955]

David, i have to say that this channel is like christmas to me. ( the next song should be a live performance from them)

[@stivesyy]

Architects is, in my opinion, the most perfect metalcore band. Sam Carter is so talented and just as good live.

[@chloestarshine]

Your keyboard playing is beautiful and proves that you truly just love and appreciate music in all its forms. I highly recommend you do more Architects from this album and their new singles!

[@osc3901]

Please more of Architects!!!

[@SleepingSquidgy]

They are absolutely FENOMENAL live. I've seen them two times so far and a 100 times wouldn't be enough

[@ArcanaBanana]

I swear I could watch you improv song melodies on piano for hours on end. Definitely one of my favorite parts of your videos :)

[@diarh34]

The heart "tear" is for their late guitarist Tom, also the drummers brother.

[@colinhutch737]

The live performance of this song tugs on your heartstrings. After reading what the song's about, check out the live performance! I got emotional listening to it.

[@Plunder13]

I LOVE THAT YOU FINALLY GOT AROUND TO ARCHITECTS! I think you’d really appreciate Doomsday. Their guitarist Tom, who passed away a few years ago began writing the song and never finished it. So the band completed the song for him and released it on the anniversary of his passing. They also have a version of the song done on piano. You’d love it!

[@TheAce22716]

Man, listening to you play the piano along with the scale they were in was so nice.

[@andreeaLnedelea]

Melissa Cross teaches this technique. She worked with many metal vocalists, even with Randy from Lamb of God. I am still amazed at your ability to play a song after you've just heard it!!! Wow!🖤

[@MarcosThompson]

I just commented the same thing, Melissa really is a legend!

[@jacobturner8965]

I think Architects have become the most important bands in the modern metalcore scene, it's mad how after Doomsday came out a whole subgenre of metalcore came from that one riff. It's insane. Sam's one of the best vocalists around. I thought they would break up after Tom's passing or maybe holy hell, but the way that they've moved forward and continued his legacy is honestly so inspiring. Nothing but love for these guys.

[@tkozuch1]

I love these reactions. I love how you immediately can play the melody, too. So impressive. Check out Sylosis. The guitar player for Archtects other band.

[@CalebMorea]

I got to recommend paralyzes by imminence. Their singer does harsh vocals cleans as well as plays violin in amazing harmony. Insane talent

[@jangoneko3875]

Ooooooh Hell YEAH! Generally, Imminence with their usage of strings is so interesting... But id recommend The Sickness, but just because its my favorite xP

[@shannonw7957]

your videos are so full of joy, thankfulness, witty humor, talent, great music,.. more people need to see you!

with Architects it's always good to have the lyrics on hand because they always have something to say no matter if it's political or societal or just their own feelings. I think you would really love the piano reprise of their song Doomsday.

[@OwainF]

Haha wasn't expecting 8:43! Another great video David, I love your approach compared to other reaction channels, very refreshing and the knowledge that you share is great.

[@Swollen_Goat]

You should definitely do "Gone with the Wind" or "Doomsday" The band had a very unfortunate occurrence with their guitar player Tom Searle dying of cancer. They wrote multiple songs about it and all are gut wrenching imo. RIP Tom Searle. I can't imagine how much this impacted the band and his brother Dan.

[@lukemadden4434]

The saddest part of Gone with the Wind is that Tom wrote it before his death

[@sarcasm4371]

@@lukemadden4434 Tom wrote all of their songs before his death besides the few love songs on Hollow Crown. Memento Mori is definitely the song that will bring you to tears.

I bloody love Architects. My first tattoo was just "Memento Mori" on my wrist after their song and it's the swan song of Tom Searle. Gone With The Wind is a big powerhouse of theirs, it's such an emotional song once you find out the lyrics and what went into them. Truly love Architects and their music has done so much for me, they're my Linkin Park of Metalcore.

[@omegazx7236]

You finally listened to Architects, and this was a GREAT video 😍 As next songs I recommend Doomsday and Black Lungs

[@shaunh8948]

One of my personal favourites recently, you should check out The Strokes! I recommend Ode to the Mets, or any of their singles Reptillia, You Only Live Once, Last Nite, The Adults Are Talking etc are all fantastic. Love your reactions and analysis of each song you react to, makes all of your videos worth watching each time.

[@TurkeyTurkk]

As a person who's been doing vocal fry / false cord for over 10 years now, It just takes a lot of practice to get the tone and stamina to do it. I practice doing these type of vocals for 2-3 hours a day straight, of course taking a break in between, but you learn how to do it efficiently while going back to a softer tone (clean vocals) in between harsher ones. It's the same type of practice in learning vibrato or head voice, you can't just learn how to do it overnight, but each day you start learning little tricks on how to get to that sound you're trying to achieve.

[@MusicShed]

Amazing

[@adamcogan211]

I love watching you go deep into the music of the song!

[@Gaffroninja]

Been a huge Architects fan for a while now and every time I hear a song off of All Our Gods and Holy Hell, that wave of emotion from the band just hits like a ton of bricks. No one captures that emotion the same way they do, unfortunately they had to go through hell and back to understand it. Gone With The Wind is a must listen in the story of Architects, Doomsday as well being one of their most popular tracks. However, I’ve got to say Memento Mori is an absolute masterpiece of a song. One of my favourite songs of all time, it just hits so hard. Have fun exploring more Architects, you’ll love them!

Upon discovering these people, however, I learnt about how to improve my self-taught technique into an extremely healthy vocal style that I can do for hours on end if I'm doing it properly!

The technique Sam Carter uses to scream is known as the "vocal fry" technique which is all about activating the false cords. Think of the noise from the film The Grudge, but with more power and added pitch through proper breathing and air management techniques. It's kind of like a pitched vocal belt but with even more intensity and gravel.
