Music Teacher Reacts to Twelve Foot Ninja "One Hand Killing" | Music Shed #58

[@twelvefootninja]

Thank you mate!!! hahahaha

Are you serious? Power Rangers?! I watched this as a kid religiously!

[@RKroese]

Holy shite! There they are!!!!

[@casketcrew23]

You guys kick ass

[@thealleycat]

So underrated comment/band/artists!

[@Poisedanubis85]

Faaakin legends big love from the uk

[@cormachayden1614]

Twelve Foot Ninja doesn't sound like half a dozen bands combined. They sound like Twelve Foot Ninja!

[@MusicShed]

Very true

[@michaelmagtoto4246]

true

[@Urankeksbaecker]

Would you say they sound like a dozen foot ninja?

[@Bass.sick.b1tch]

Well, they owe a debt to Mr Bungle, but well said

[@dejanvrhovac9481]

Definitely influenced by Mr. Bungle, but also quite unique. Awesome band.

[@sarakaster]

Twelve Foot Ninja is just such a joy especially for musicians!

[@jswervy16]

This is the most unique band. They sum up everything I've ever listened to.

[@rogeliohernandez6440]

I still haven’t watched A Clockwork Orange. I’ve just been busy.

[@MusicShed]

DO IT!!!!

[@esaedvik]

How busy, mate?

[@erichoberg3502]

A clockwork purple - funkoars

[@floralfire]

@@esaedvik busier than a cat burying shit on concrete

[@azuraug8693]

Have you been busy, eh?

[@SockerConny80]

The vocalist is a Mike Patton fan for sure.

[@djphlegm]

They have been compared to Faith No More, Mr Bungle, and Fantamos.

[@SockerConny80]

@Foolie75 Explains a lot, ty for the info!

[@MegaCurtisimo]

This all day. They remind me of Faith No More if they were heavier

[@jeremiahfulton103]

"You're taller than I'd thought you'd be" top notch compliment.

[@bassforhire555]

"Absurdist genre hopping experimental metal" Or as I like to call it Djazz

[@ninjabiatch101]

Djassical* :P

[@leiftheviikiingerickson7156]

YES! "Coming for you" definitely has some jazziness in it.

[@subliminalcastillo2126]

Favorite band. They aren't afraid to do whatever the hell they want, and they got even more popular because of it. Love them, and I have mad respect for all of them.

[@martyngregg2527]

You need check "Coming For You" or "Mother Sky" by them! Between The Buried And Me are similar with the blend of genres, check Extremophile Elite, Bloom, Ants From The Sky or Selkies.

[@patd416]

I second mother sky, since its right off the beaten path and more.. somber? than what they usually do, but brings the same level of energy. That or Sickness.

[@lenaanderson2295]

You're listening to the best band on the planet! We've loved this band for years! 🖤

[@zacredington4776]

I love that you run it back every time you pause to talk about something. Pause as many times as your heart desires, so long as you skip back to catch the flow, 10/10 in my book.

[@MrDexter_]

I second Reptile by Periphery, great track.

[@maximilianschultz8244]

Prifry

[@MrDexter_]

@@maximilianschultz8244 I can't believe is misspelled it that bad, my bad!

[@CGcovers]

Reptile would be so sick

[@flyonthewallnz8354]

Reptile is an anthem on its own. It’ll be a long reaction vid but to hear a producer and professional musician break down its technicality and all the movements it goes in and out of would be an interesting watch

[@adamr6811]

I love your reaction, just found your channel and I am hooked. Keep it up man

[@brandihendricks9663]

Imagine a band so talented they can do that delay... LIVE.

[@spinnymathingy3149]

They are fantastic live, I saw them 2 years ago, and lucky for me they are doing another tour in January (in Australia) and I’ve got my tickets I think they are then going over-seas , not sure where tho

[@masonshucart7055]

The best part about twelve foot ninja is that the guitarist models all of his sounds and uses it to have his strings tuned normally but change his tuning and pitch with his audio interface. It's really cool to hear him talk about it and demonstrate.

[@DrTomoculus]

8:30 - 8:48 -- for me, that's the best part of the whole song. The whole song is awesome, but when it gets to that section, I just love it. And it's the vocal he's putting over that syncopated beat. He's going Latin -- it's almost Bossa Nova if you take away all the hardcore, and replace it with acoustic instrumentation. He's going bossa nova. It's a great band, "One Hand Killing" is just one of those songs that had to be. I'm glad it truly got them the attention they had deserved for 8 years by that point. Another favourite is from SMOKE BOMB --- "War". Such a good song.

[@miikasuominen3845]

Being a HUGE Mr.Bungle fan, when I found these guys. I was really happy! That's the first comparison, I think, Mr.Bungle. They are a total KILLER live band and their acoustic versions are out of this world. So Much Talent! Ningen Isu is the only band, that has struck me anywhere near as close, lately, as these guys...

[@nicolasvidal4800]

Totally 😂

[@jessicar5748]

I think you’d enjoy Sleep Token - either The Offering or Jaws. 🤯 You won’t be disappointed. Loads of talent. The drummer alone😱

[@ludoletono]

I second that

[@bigby5318]

Omg YES Sleep Token is indescribable. I third this

[@swayt2725]

Or Blood Sport!!!! or really anything.

[@_Skylark]

Jaws is just... Whew. That's all I can say really

[@joshuabenjamin1626]

Yes. Sleeptoken

[@spudmint]

I think this is my favourite reaction video. This bloke is well into it and I'm laughing my head off. Love to see people genuinely getting into the song! 🥰

[@benferguson4629]

Twelve Foot Ninja has said that they were heavily influenced by Mr Bungle. I certainly can hear it.

[@TheUncleshady]

These guys would 100% be a Bungle Cover band (also old Incubus) if they didn't have the drive they do to make their own music.

[@NicoBossWTF]

This song and band are freaking awesome and underrated

[@6ftginger866]

Legitimately my fave band and one of the few joys I have in life. Seeing others enjoy the ninja is also another 🤘

[@RyanCogar]

Yeah the singer is incredible & very versatile as you will learn as you delve further into TFN. I'd recommend their live acoustic performance of "Kingdom" they did on a radio show or the recent acoustic performance they put out themselves of the tracks "Deluge" & "Liberation". They both really highlight the warmth/depth of his vocal tone & of course display what great musicians they all are, such a tight band.

[@mickthomas2285]

Amazing band, seen them a couple of times. Genuinely funny and down to earth blokes, had a good chat with Nik after a show and was happy to meet his fans and do the selfie thing with anyone.

[@Calluth]

As soon as you said Clockwork Orange I just HAD to give a thumbs up and comment! You're awesome man, keep it up!

[@MusicShed]

Best movie

[@adamcogan211]

I fourth Reptile by Periphery! Twelve foot ninja fifthed it when they said “Prifiry” on the whiteboard near the start. 4:20

[@arunthebuffoon4554]

That means 12 Foot Ninja "firsted" it technically

[@alanpoole4249]

One of the most talented bands out

[@Braver9]

the drummer is insane

[@Chot.hocklett]

I promise you will not be disappointed by any Twelve Foot Ninja song. Silent Machine is my favourite

[@misshapee]

I always think I have a favorite chosen then hear another of their songs and be like, yeah this is my favorite!!. Haha, I love Kingdom!!!

[@VelcroSnake93]

I really love the 'unplugged' versions of their songs they did for a radio station, or at least that's what it looked like based on the videos.

[@codyb2196]

Ooo yeah kingdom is amazing

[@jamesm5883]

I've never clicked so fast lol, you need to see their song coming for you, great reaction!

[@federerfanatic]

Leprous: Google Rockfeller live concert or anything else like "Slave", "Below" (video version), etc.

[@omegazx7236]

Below is amazing

[@redness1824]

Well said,I was blown away the first time I heard them. Incredibly talented band🤘🤙

[@DominicWroe]

I'd suggest checking out Coming for you by these guys if you like the genre hopping :)

[@brandihendricks9663]

Oh. My. God. What an accurate description without knowing how cool it will get!

[@johngarrett2062]

Glad I found you. If I had one word instead of many to categorize them. Beautiful. Perfect band

[@linko994]

You need to check out more Twelve Foot Ninja. "Coming for You" or "Sick" are both great and both have that Twelve Foot Ninja humour.

[@_50_ducks_]

I frikken love sick

[@tomburton428]

first time i have even seen someone react to these guys. subbed instantly.

[@powerstrokepuller8076]

Great breakdown of this awesome band. Definitely check out their song Coming for you

[@zacredington4776]

OH MY GOD YES HAHAHA Love this band... so glad you're checking them out.

[@AntohinAndrej]

Seeing someone have such a blast listening to these guys makes me sooo happy. Check out some more of them, I guarantee you will love them even more!

[@cnucklz09]

I have seen a few of your videos today and i love your breakdowns but I subbed mainly because of the pop up facts about the bands. It’s entertaining and informative.

[@Jaume_0097]

React to "Twelve foot ninja - coming for you", please!!!!!

[@superchanneljim]

one of the best bands out in the past 5-10 years.

[@SparkimusPrime]

You HAVE to check out Over and Out by them featuring Tatiana from Jinjer!! 🖤🖤

[@Chopperducky]

If you like the genre hopping you need to check out Coming For You by Twelve Foot Ninja as well.

[@dansullivan7220]

You need to check out the technical perfection of Unleash the Archers.

[@shredjward]

"Rent" i involuntarily chuckled when you said that lol

[@Kjertinge]

Oh thank god you watched the intro!!! It’s the best part lmao You gotta do Aint That a Bitch by these guys.. that song is CATCHY

[@johnny_roots]

Awesome the way you get involved with the music. From your brand new subscription 😉

[@shanejustice2244]

twelve foot ninja - mother sky. that is all.

[@RKroese]

I want to say yes, But I am going to say no to the extreme that the other way around the universe it is the infinite resounding... YES

[@forestfrasier9134]

Do more 12 foot ninja reactions. You will love their other stuff. This is nothing compared to the rest of their music. They are so everywhere and it's amazing!

[@Musicalskulls]

p.s. @howie your cuts are fresh AF. on point editing. (even the volume duck outs while he comments over the track.Smooth*)

[@TrojanSalesmen1]

THis band is super underrated and it hurts. I love these dudes

[@alexg959]

Tesseract- Hexes live in studio

[@Marin_Huron]

I just watched most of your metal song reactions and cannot say how much I appreciate your reaction, input, opinion and improvisation (I would include your editor here as well). Thank you for the hard work you both put in these videos. The messages, you profess throughout the reaction but mainly towards the end, are aslo greatly appreciated in a world where positivism is somewhat lacking if not being shunned. I know some of the metal fans have constructively criticised you to roll back a few seconds after a pause but if that disgustingly heavy guitar riff was not my favourite until I watched this reaction (which it was), it would have become now. On a side note - how you have not been asked into oblivion to react to Nightwish, considering how leading the keys are in their music and your ability on the keys, is just beyond me. If you have been, well, please feel agressively reminded to check Nightwis - Ghost Love Score live. If you like what you hear there are many more songs not only from Nightwish, but you better be ready for the Nightwish army and they will love you. On a personal note - you should check Symphony X as they mix the metal with classical music in the sense, well, you will know what I mean after you hear any of their songs. The Serpent's Kiss probably being a good stepping stone.

[@angelenaachilles4427]

Amazing band with so much talent and one of my all time favourite bands! I definitely recommend checking out all their music including their acoustic versions. I've met them all a few times and they're top blokes who are down to earth and always have time for their fans.

[@f1akman]

So glad you got into TFN. Wicked band that changes things up and is such a technically solid band, but they have fun with it. You just can't play around with it and make it sound this good unless you're a band filled with incredible musicians. Cheers!

[@TheJesse1515]

These guys videos are the greatest thing on the internet

[@bongzilla4172]

There's bands I'm sad I've never gotten to see live, this is one of them. Great band with amazing versatility! For me they remind me of FNM a bit, at least the vocalist. Would love for you to pick this band back up! You can't go wrong with any song really. Congratulations on 50k!

[@Elviolli]

Dude. You dropped fricken Debarge in your video. I just watched the Last Dragon two nights ago for the millionth time. Props, sir. Plus, TFN is my favorite band right now. Just discovering you now and loving your videos. Nightwish and Unleash the Archers please!!

[@Technosel]

Honestly a listen of one of their acoustic live sessions is worth checking out! Really shows their musicianship in my opinion.

[@Jeminai77]

psst look up Mr Bungle - "My Ass is on Fire" (theres a fan made vid on YT of live clips) for a direct line to where these guys are influenced. ps. the singe is Mike Patton of faith no more fame. WAY before their time.

[@daltonarcade]

Great reaction; loved the fun fact pop-ups. TFN is incredible.

[@audiosecrecy92]

Quite happy to stumble across your channel! You seem to have the charismatic reaction that we all as fans have to the bands you review! Btw Shuriken is a fantastic song by these guys ;)

[@audivawalsh2983]

Been following Twelve Foot Ninja for many years now, being from their home town. My favourite song of theirs is Deluge. Coming for you is more reggae love hehe, also awesome.

[@brandihendricks9663]

Listen to more. It just gets better.

[@ragingstorm79]

You should catch some of their acoustic sessions, super good.

[@user-ru9gf7ky2y]

Korn, Sevendust, Incubus, and Tap Root. Absolutely nailed that comparison. This is one of my favorite songs ever!

[@ralphhays2738]

Listen to them live!! Mind blown!! Also doing acoustic sets!! It's awesome!

[@waynequimby2286]

Those four bands were nothing comparable just let them all be each other👌

[@jonellis5030]

AS a producer myself, never noticed those bits and nuances/ holy batsheet BatMan!

[@Aroobydoo]

Would love to see you look at The Contortionist Jamie King did some cool production with them: lots of layers, keyboards/synths, solid musicianship all around I would love to hear your take on Return To Earth or Language I: Intuition & Language II: Conspire (both parts together) Awesome piano playing and love the vids!

[@francescomartorello9559]

That's right man!!

[@jamesmckeon2655]

I SECOND THIS!!!!

[@imKohl]

AHHHH I was just thinking this. I'd love for more music reviewers to react to them, those 2 songs specifically.

[@Bacon-egg-cheese]

I haven't listened to this band in a minute, was not expecting it to show up in a react video. Awesome that you're really checking out a range of things. "Coming for you" from the same band would be a neat one to check out if you ever fancy to look them up again. Or mother sky.

[@Musicalskulls]

yup. love these guys.

[@stevehall7008]

Cool. As if, going by your awesome musical experience, you didn't react like this like that immediately. Nice one dude. Apart from anything else, it backs me up totally :)

[@slimb0b]

This was a great reaction to watch

[@TysonGiffordME]

HIGHLY recommend checking out the demonstration of Stevic's Line 6 Shuriken guitar from namm, it does crazy crazy stuff and is integral to them playing live, plus stevic is really funny

[@blackspine343]

This band is just modern Faith No More. There. Now everything should make sense my man.

[@invisusmachina]

Faith No More with a touch of Mr. Bungle.

[@defmud80]

I get down in the car with the wife and kids to this band! They don't have a bad song. And there are a few youtube vids of them doing acoustic live renditions of some of their songs and it's amazing. You can really see the kind of quality musicians they really are.

[@jamestalkington6306]

Highly recommend kingdom, coming for you, monsoon, shuriken, just any other song by them. I love one hand killing, but that and coming for you are the ONLY 2 that ppl react to cuz music videos. I'm a former music ed major.

[@jasonross7004]

"You are a Thirteen Foot Ninja"....lol classic

[@briarhaven01]

Well now you have to listen to coming for you by TFN. Three genres in one song. Its a treat to listen to

[@kylelove5873]

Yes!! These guys are amazing!! I suggest you look into Stevic more, he is an amazing artist. Stevic wrote an entire graphic novel that coincides with all the songs on their album silent machine.

[@setoboi1652]

Definitely also check out Sick and Coming for You from these guys

[@MetallicaKing48]

Taproot with Tom Morello from RATM/ Audio Slave on lead guitar, Mike Patton from Faith No More on vocals, and Troy Sanders from Mastodon on bass. Sums up a very similar structure honestly.

[@redness1824]

This was awesome,keep em coming🤙

[@paulbotha7543]

Karnivool - we are - another aussie prog band that will blow your mind

[@vasiapatov4544]

"Go to blockbuster" lololol

[@RKroese]

Music teacher lives under ROCK lol

[@ShavidDerf]

Check out Periphery, like people are suggesting. I really want someone to do the whole of the Juggernaut albums. Concept album, great writing, arranging, composing. You won't be disappointed.

[@harddobe]

Caligulas Horse - Graves Join the list if KZbin reaction channels that had their minds blown

[@Achimski]

I love your review becourse you hit the nail on the head. They are the frank zappas of our musical age.

[@MusicShed]

They are super cool and creative!

[@justdave9610]

They really remind me of Faith no more in a lot of ways. Cool reaction and I'll throw in a suggestion for coming for you next

[@Jizden_Mipanz]

The correct description of them is: an Australian short song version of "between the buried and me" with a hint of "faith no more"

[@musicalrebels9914]

Great job!!! Congrats!!

[@XMetalChefX]

Stevic and Roan are the most underrated guitar duo of all time.

[@BoogieManPHD]

Definitely check out TFN's tracks ... Coming for you. And SICK.

[@justjarvis106]

You should check out some of the acoustic performances twelve foot have done, it really demonstrates the quality of their song writing who transmutable their songs are in different styles

[@anon1903kg]

The singer is making me think of Mike Patton from Faith No More.

[@TysonGiffordME]

Faith no More and Mr Bungle (both Patton) were HUGE inspirations on Stevic who is the band leader, principal song writer, and guitarist, I am sure somebody who sounds a bit like Patton was on his check list for a vocalist.
