Music Teacher Reacts to Spiritbox "Holy Roller" | Music Shed #68

[@sawstream]

The coolest music teacher on the planet

[@SqueakGod]

Please react to iwrestledabearonce! With Kristy Cameron

[@danielweston6509]

If you've been liking spiritbox you should definitely check out their song Blessed Be

[@Fenrir6Gaming]

I 2nd that

[@BLACKOUT0616]

or the version with Ryo Kinoshita from Crystal Lake. Dude is an animal

[@Commandercolt44]

@@Fenrir6Gaming I third that

[@DawnsHhcg]

I 4th that. Blessed be is one of my favorites and I love the little interesting things she does with words

[@jonpaulcuzon5892]

The song that get me into them. It's so good. I'm so addicted to it haha

[@CadeTheKiller]

Sattelites - Periphery, Spencer Sotelo is so damn talented along with the rest of the band. From unclean to falsetto, from shredding to heavy rhythms, this song has everything and you wont be disappointed.

[@Goldroy13]

YEEEEEES, Periphery rules and Spencer is a beast

[@Neviar03]

Such an amazing song, one of those ones I can't skip whenever it comes on

[@swayt2725]

THIS

[@Paul_Ward]

Garden In The Bones is a beast of a song in itself too

[@maurofranklim5533]

Satellites is such a great song

[@Rodzilla5332]

When you review Spiritbox you should do a double feature and do the video and the “studio one take” Courtney does with her just doing the vocals live. You can really see how she does it.

[@oeyapss]

I second this.

[@MusicShed]

Third

[@rawdogcollects]

Forth this

[@gage5650]

@@MusicShed IMHO these one takes are better versions of both songs you've reviewed kzbin.info/www/bejne/el7Xm56tj5hlg6M&ab_channel=SpiritboxOfficial

[@jinjerjunkie]

I heard Courtney say in an interview that they make their own videos and they center the video around an inexpensive idea. She said they only spend a few thousand dollars at most to make them. With that said, You really need to check the video for their song Blessed Be. Both the video and the song are masterpieces!

[@saughs]

Yep. They do it all themselves for cheap, and their videos are still some of the best.

[@Brandon-ro3ge]

"Asses come off in order to play this music" Your delivery is incredible. I learn something and gain a new appreciation for the band, you, and music in general with every vid. Thanks, David!

[@ViktoriaVision]

I really love your reaction here. I also love what you said about how talented the musicians in heavy music are. You can't play extreme music unless you can play basically everything else. So even if someone doesn't like heavy music, I hope they respect it because their favorite band probably couldn't play this music, but this band could probably play anyone's.

[@robbiemitchell7460]

They made a remaster of this with Ryo from Crystal Lake and it's a whole new brutal layer

[@sawstream]

You should check out their live take on “the Mara effect” amazing musicianship and amazing singing from Courtney

[@filipantoncik2604]

The live studio version!

[@sawstream]

Yes, the one at silverside sound!

[@Ollieisskaxxx]

Was just about to suggest this video. He would love it

[@redhotchilifan98]

The live studio version blew my fuckin mind

[@tastesawesome]

Came to say this. He'll really love the drumming in that one!

[@garbageusername7924]

Some other good songs by Spiritbox that are worth listening to: Blessed Be, Perennial, and Trust Fall. Also, if you want this song but heavier, they did a version of this song with Ryo Kinoshita that’s really good. For me, this band is one of the best things I’ve found in this God-Awful year.

[@Forelorn99]

Man - can you just release an album of Spiritbox covers on the keys!? Please continue doing these videos!!! Amazing! I would love to hear 'Perennial' or 'Trust Fall' on the keys!!!!!!

[@ex_zack_attack4395]

I just looked into Music Shed, and found out you teach to young people. It explains why I find your reactions so interesting, you teach like that and it holds my childlike attention span. All the things you stop to talk about is exactly what goes through my head. It's all over the place but strangely cohesive

[@fabriddleton1979]

If you want more of clear vocals by courtney, try "Bleach bath" wich for me is their song with the best chorus

[@redhotchilifan98]

Thats a great song

[@ulver1187]

@@redhotchilifan98 aren't they all haha

[@damnyule45]

You have to, REALLY have to check out their latest release “Constance”. I would love your break down on it and love to see the emotions it brings out of you.

[@crhu319]

Good call.

[@georgehenry8391]

Re: Spiritbox, Jinjer and some other bands and singers I could name, I've become fans mainly through watching reactions. Seeing others, especially the musically educated, enjoying them enhances my appreciation.

[@EcchiHeroOda]

I'm so happy to hear you pick up on how funky spiritbox are. They give me this stage experimental jazz feel just with these crazy vocals on top. Count me in for a tshirt too btw 🇮🇪

[@Jrat7259]

When he started playing the main riff on the piano I thought the peanuts were going to come out and start moshing

[@justdave9610]

I legit laughed at this

[@mh1290]

I am so happy that I read this comment before I heard his take on the main riff. I was dying laughing!!!

[@Sol-cf9ko]

blessed be and constance, you're gonna love them

[@davidpwolfe]

If you like solos, there's a nice little mini solo in the opening track of Bring Me the Horizon's new EP. Song is called Dear Diary,. You should check it out! It's wicked good.

[@jamesbarron5590]

Great reaction! I really appreciate all the info graphics and your piano breakdown on each reaction.

[@chrisdiaz406]

You have to hear their new song Constance! Its beautiful

[@veganzombiee4002]

Architects - Doomsday PRETTY PLEEEEASE!

[@MyRaverLover]

They have a new one called Constance. It is a must. It's polar opposite of this and beautiful.

[@mastersoomatai2101]

Glad you found this.

[@redhotchilifan98]

Discovered them a few months ago hadn't heard of them and I was immediately hooked the groove of the guitar Courtney's voice also the drumming is really tasty

[@TheMostGloriousBeard]

Best reaction channel on KZbin. Seriously.

[@lil_chimpus]

hey man, would love to see you take a look at Enter Shikari! anything from their discography is awesome, but their last few albums, especially "The Spark" and "Nothing is True and Everything Is Possible" blend together a lot of different styles like metal, pop, electronic, drum & bass, and orchestral in a way that I think you would really dig.

[@captaincannabis3321]

I love ES, but im not too fond of their latest stuff.

[@joshua_5683]

Hard agree! Love that band!

[@iMattLewis]

Anything from The Mindsweep! Especially Myopia or Torn Apart

[@rsbatcrh06]

A Day To Remember - Right Back At It Again City And Colour - Comin' Home Anything from either of those bands really lol.

[@robbiemitchell7460]

Love seeing your reactions and takes on Metal and the kinda feelings it brings out

[@godscoldhands77]

'the drummer...his feet are...' lol. david didn't see thomas haake playing 'bleed' yet..:)

[@marcelowiek]

Or Aaron Kitcher from Infant Anihhilator on Cuntcrusher video

[@sike8156]

Or Evginy from slaughter to prevail playing demolisher

[@Bringmethehorizondude]

I’ve been more of my favorite reaction channels to react to this and you have obliged. Thank you sir! Good morning to be a shed head

[@emobot9000]

DAVID YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL VOICE PLEASE SING MORE

[@IR4TE]

You should really check out the predecessor project to this called 'Iwrestledabearonce'; I'd recommend 'Tastes like Kevin Bacon' or 'Danger in the manger'. Short info, IWABO had Krysta Cameron as a singer (she sings the songs mentioned above), she left the band because of her pregnancy and Courtney came in, the band is not officially done but certainly on ice for now.

[@Osprixx]

“About to get married” ... or SACRIFICED

[@Imurai]

I mean, is there a difference?

[@dschimp]

Reminds me of Midsommar by Ari Aster

[@barryoliver9782]

If you are gonna watch this again, watch their own cover of this with Ryo Kinoshita. He adds another layer of dark depth to it. And if you are gonna watch another Spiritbox tune altogether, you should take the time to absorb their 3-part song "The Mara Effect". Hands down the best at displaying their technical mastery.

[@mh1290]

This song just smacks you in the face. It’s just such a powerful, intense song. This band is just phenomenally talented.

[@JMDrummer]

If you want this genre with solos.. Periphery!

[@lukeslayer]

Im glad you enjoy doing these because we love watching them so thank you! You should check out Slipknot, they're a massively popular band that consists of 9 members including 2 percussionists and a drummer, they've been around since the 90s. One of their newer songs is "Nero Forte" would love to see what you think. Cheers from Australia! 🦘🇦🇺

[@FerretChloride]

I recommend Gift of Death by iwrestledabearonce. Courtney smashes that track as well!

[@NOLIG]

Been loving Crystal Lake after hearing their singers collab with spirit box on another version of this song

[@gmdragon117]

I love your reactions. Keep that music theory in ever reaction!

[@christopherrice4816]

Spiritbox is awesome. You've gotta check out Blessed Be next.

[@TitanTacGaming]

I will get that exact tank top advertised in the video, nothing less. it is.....perfect

[@marcelowiek]

That's what I'm talking about! Brillant video!

[@ericzarenko6096]

You’d be in awe of the drumming of Chris Turner from Oceans Ate Alaska. His drum play though of the song “Escapist” would blow you away! Same with “40 Roll.”

[@plague6662004]

You guys should do a video on the first all female metal band Kittie... they haven’t put out new music since 2011 but I remember on another video yall asked who the first female was to scream and I believe that’s Kittie who made it big in 1999 at the ages of 18 and under... I recommend the songs my plague, cut throat and sorrow I know.... also look into the band red handed denial - “the awakening”for another female fronted band... and I may as well throw in straight line stitch - “black veil”

[@xRamZx]

I've really enjoyed watching you come out of your musical cocoon, there's so much good music out there!

[@godscoldhands77]

finally another spiritbox.!! please do more spiritbox.!! if you do jinjer reactions, there's no way to miss spiritbox.!! no competition, i love both bands and their vocalists...but courtney's techniques on growling and screaming are so much better and much more precise on point than tati's. in holy roller courtney smashes 4 different growling techniques, which is absolutely insane.! btw, this is spiritbox' most ridiculous song - with 'holy roller' they just wanted to write the most brutal and heavy song they could possibly write, there was no other intention. so, it's just a funny 2,5 minutes blast and is not taken too serious. all their other songs are a musical revelation - speaking of the songwriting from a technical point of view, they are way more interesting than jinjer. but both bands are writing songs on another level...

[@gamingwithgeekwares4416]

im so much more used to the version with ryo now

[@NickMcMillen16]

Spirit Box one of the best bands out there! Love your analyses! Another new song to check out would be "Metamorph" by Oceans Ate Alaska

[@giot2818]

You Should check out Belmont songs to check out Overstepping, Pushing Daisies, and Hideout!

[@jessicar5748]

😂😂😂 yeah this one is a banger

[@ByrdeBrains]

Would love to see more Spiritbox. Maybe some of their lighter tracks. Perennial, Blessed Be, or their most recent Constance.

[@tylerpd52]

You should also check out Flourish and Early Grave by The Contortionist. Crazy how much they've shifted their sound

[@sleepnoot2922]

Just got into Spiritbox a few days ago from this song. It's insane! Also, a good song that I really think is worth checking out is L.E.D by Tallah.

[@ulver1187]

Must be awesome to just get into them damn

[@tripsis1]

spiritbox blessed be, bleach bath, perenial is one of theirs no one seems to do but its wonderful

[@chadmichael_]

Those drums were actually programmed because of covid and Daniel being in LA but the band’s drummers absolutely can play those parts. Hats off to Daniel for making it sound like a real drummer is playing. Oh and I’m pretty sure those weren’t CGI hands. It was just someone with black gloves behind Courtney. Anyway, awesome video. You should check out Northlane.

[@Theaquaponic12345678]

I am closer to your age. And I get the cocoon comment. I have been into the heavier stuff always. But I love female fronted bands. Spiritbox is the shiz man. You NEED to react to Spiritbox, The Mara effect Live session. I think it is about as historic as it gets. It makes me very emotional, not a band has affected me this much since the 90's. Tatiana is that sharp edge of a priceless blade. Spiritbox IS the blade. Oh, PS.... It is a 3 part song. It is 16 minutes of your life worth devoting to. Be ready.

[@TheRashguir]

coming up next : Meshuggah - Clockworks and Periphery - Reptile :D

[@NenuxTitanRsr]

You HAVE to do Blessed be. it will blow you away man!

[@pillarsofnosgoth]

If you want to see the band in the video then check out Mara effect part 1 for a nearly polar opposite to this video or check out belcarra. Belcarra is one of their heavier ones (but not like holy roller) and features the band playing their asses off!😆

[@leonel8831]

Ayyyyyyy! My guy getting into them heavier vibes. Oceans Ate Alaska's song Metamorph is a song I think you'd dig! Great reaction!

[@SwedeSpeeder]

You want an amazing metal style guitar solo that’s beautifully melodic? Andy James - Satellites. I’m 52 years old, and I’m a Dream Theater fan and the solo in Satellites is one of the best I’ve ever heard.

[@vesvibes1708]

If you're looking for soloing in this genre, check out Erra. I super highly recommend one of their newest singles, Snowblood. Pay close attention to Jesse, who is both lead vocalist and lead guitarist. He is exceptionally talented at both, you will not be disappointed.

[@crhu319]

The riff at 7:43 is like Evil Vince Guaraldi. Like Peanuts doing a machete dance.

[@breakoutin248]

If you're looking for a guitar solo, Mara Effect Pt 1 (also by Spiritbox) has a great solo by Mike Stringer. Best to check out their live performance of the Mara Effect trilogy at Silverside Sound. Mindblowing stuff!

[@FluffyThieves]

lol I knew it was going to be a trip for you going straight from Rule of Nines to what is arguably their heaviest song.

[@rodrigomallermartins9863]

The Mara Effect Live is pretty cool to watch, you can see everybody playing e how good they are!

[@tommelo1277]

You really need to react to their "Mara Effect", the drummer kills it. To be honest, all of them are at the top of their musicianship in that video. This is a three-piece song which they recorded a live version playing all the three parts. They used some samples and there is a guitar solo in the first part. I am sure you will appreciate it. :)

[@kiracarmignani9659]

You should react to “Perennial” by Spiritbox! It’s one of their older songs, super underrated, and the video is gorgeous and shows the whole band doing their thing.

[@ScCrash26]

Blessed Be should be your next Spiritbox song.

[@kudblythe]

This song along with many others in their catalogue, is tuned to drop f#. I think that’s 4 and 1/2 steps down. Then to push it ridiculously lower, Mike used a pitch shift pedal to shift down to F, then to E, then to D# during the second chorus and breakdown. Just rattles your bones.

[@maaronsmith]

Love your channel. Do their song "Blessed Be" next. You should also check out a band called Release The Archers and their song "Awakening", I would live to see your reaction to that video. And then OBVIOUSLY, more Jinjer videos. Keep it up man, you've got a great channel!

[@RocketPunches]

You should try some Protest the Hero if you haven't already. There's a lot of stuff there, but if you want something with a lot of compositional variety Sequoia Throne is an older, but very good song from them.

[@Dangbrothr821861990]

There is a new version of this with a Duett style Male vocalist named Ryo Kinoshita. You should check it out, its insane!

[@alpinmack]

Spiritbox just dropped their newest single "Constance" and it is a masterpiece. I would love to hear your take on it, and more specifically, your piano noodling on it. It's an emotional journey though, so be ready.

[@SlurryMcMuff]

You should really check out "Drink About It' by Issues. Super funky song which blends a couple genres really interestingly!

[@michaelrodriguez7918]

Oceans Ate Alaska - Escapist! They have the most talented drummer

[@gSWG3R]

The riff is just so bouncy and chuggy. You cannot resist the stank face with this one.

[@crhu319]

At 7:43 he nails it.

[@Amadeahi]

tjose growls are properly known as low, mid, and high fry screams

[@ulver1187]

There's some false chord also

[@Mr-ks5kl]

Check - Spiritbox - the Mara effect live. You will hear solos

[@onlinejobs1.18]

Sick!!!!

[@161crusher161]

You should really check out The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound by them. Its a long one but it really shows great musicianship and could be very interesting to hear analysed by a music teacher

[@joemetric150]

Subbed! Hey, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Sleep Token - The Offering. Their singer will surprise you, I think. Good work!

[@Jenova_77]

If you like stuff like this and want more solos, check out bands like August Burns Red, Jason Richardson, Rings of Saturn, Mirrors, I Am Abomination, Born of Osiris, and Shrezzers

[@majorstean]

Check out the band Between The Buried And Me. They are everything you’re talking about here... compositionally amazing, masters of their instruments, solos, etc... self described as ‘adult contemporary death metal’ give a listen to their songs: ‘Lunar Wilderness’, ‘obfuscation’, ‘selkies (the endless obsession)’ or ‘white walls’

[@bkarle4570]

If you want to hear another killer band with great guitar solos, check out Unleash the Archers - Awakening

[@crhu319]

Yeah then watch Brittney and Fang do Brindisi!!

[@yubogolfer4040]

David, speaking of demons ... another band recommendation you probably will enjoy: Vintersea Songs of them to start with: Befallen (heavy AF) The Holy Procession (almost 10 min. musical rollercoaster) Fiery Tongue ('brutiful' dark vibes) Illuminated (nice build-up over the entire song)

[@aprildixon1850]

I would definitely ask my bestfriend to get me a shed-head t-shirt for my birthday😂

[@cowboy41231]

Since you interviewed Eugene , I’m down for the shed-head bangin shirt! Or I prefer a hat because I’m bald 👨‍🦲 lol 😂 Rock on 🤘

Check out Makari - Transient. Andy Cizek is another youtuber, and he does the vocals for that band. REALLY amazing stuff.

[@yohananbadgardener]

If you want some crazy stuff, stage 2: the captive by the reticent goes so insane, I don’t want to spoil it, but there is plenty to react too 👀

[@tylerpd52]

You should definitely check out more Spiritbox. Belcarra, Bleach Bath, Trust Fall would be good.

[@TrialsOfOne]

You should check out Orbit Cultures live versions of the Shadowing and North Star of Nija. Very talented and underrated band out of Sweden.

[@bradkohl99]

The hands around her neck are Bill’s wife, who also did Courtney’s makeup. If you wanna hear Mike’s only guitar solo in this band, The Mara Effect pt 1. His old band Fall In Archaea is pretty much the equivalent of guitar masturbation.
