My First Exposure to Leprous "At the Bottom" (reaction ep.32)

[@JuanTheDjent]

I'm an unashamed Leprous fanboy but my favourite new sport is watching people finding them and getting blown away. Their entire back catalogue is just superb and you can see the progression that they've made over time. Stunning band and one of the best live acts I've seen in the 30+ years I've been going to gigs.

[@KibitoSaika]

Completely 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@techfairyrina]

I've been several times on their live shows, totally agree, one of the best every time!

[@jordancuevasdejaiffe2414]

The sky is red, by their drummer

[@benjamindavidson632]

Baard kolstad has a channel to make it easy.

[@benjamindavidson632]

Also what I'd like to see by them is all their parts filmed separately. Gives you a real chance to look, watch, study, listen all at the same time. Each member could be getting huge views I believe doing this. Oh and no copyright hahaha

Leprous - Slave (Live at Rockefeller Music Hall) I caught this version of the song on my Devin Townsend station while cutting grass a week ago. I immediately had to run inside and find out who these guys were. As a musician, Leprous have completely reinspired me. Been diving into their catalog every day since. As a fellow musician, I’m curious what your thoughts are on this song (the live version).

[@judgebigmansion3492]

Was about to recommend this particular performance myself. Just about the best damn live performance I've ever seen.

[@Opranius]

this!

[@deanwolfechannel]

Shall do

[@judgebigmansion3492]

@@deanwolfechannel Woo!

[@jackillin]

I agree about them being inspiring. I came across them late last year with their release of Pitfalls. I haven't been this INTO a band for years!

[@reneskarmyr]

So I got to see Leprous live in Oslo last night. Not once but twice. A double concert. The first concerts I have attended since the virus fucked up everything. It was special and emotional in so many ways. We were seated, and with proper distance between the seats. Felt strange, but when the music started; just wow! The first consert was great. The second was an «out of body» experience! This was one of my greatest concertexperiences ever, only rivaled by the mighty Tool. Before the concert I wrote in a fanforum on Facebook (Leprous Fans) that I was hoping for At The Bottom. They have only played it live once before, so I really didn’t expect it. But the third last song in concert nr. 2, there it was. And they absolutely nailed it! They are truly a great liveband, so if you ever get a chance to see them live; do it! Ps; I sent the bassplayer a message when I woke up this morning with a smile on my face; I thanked him for the concerts and he replies that they put At The Bottom on the setlist because they knew I drove half the country to see them. I feel blessed, and so happy! What a nice thing to do. So as a 43-year old I can relate to teenage girls screaming their lungs empty when they see their idols😂 And we need another Leprous-reaction soon🙏🏻 All the best from Norway!

[@deanwolfechannel]

Man, I wish I was there with you at those concerts. For sure, I'm anxious for hearing more Leprous

[@junnunaumanen6672]

Great story :)

[@jennifer9047]

René, when I saw them this April on their last US tour date, they played "At the Bottom" instead of the "Distant Bells" everybody else in North America got on the set list. First time played live on our continent!😊 Ya know why? We were at a prog rock/metal venue in Chicago called "The Bottom" Lounge. Haha! Those cheeky bastards- we were ALL at The Bottom that night, technically. 😋

[@reneskarmyr]

I thank you for this🙏🏻 Made my day! Leprous was started in 2001, and they’ve put out 6 records, all great in their own way. I get a Tool-vibe from this band, the songwriting is superb, and they perform them live as if in the studio. You should check out their live-performance from Rockefeller (a venue in Oslo). Superb quality. Also the drummer Baard Kolstad (who is amzing btw) has a lot of great playtroughs on youtube. So glad you did this one! Thank you!

[@Panda_SMM]

more leprous would be great to see. every album of theirs is pretty different from one another, and all of them are a treat in their own way too.

[@jackillin]

The Sky is Red is a must listen!

[@deanwolfechannel]

Ok

[@markclaypool5414]

Saw this band open up for Haken...and Leprous actually blew them away. Amazing live performance! Small club in San Francisco..maybe 150 were treated to something special!!

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Saw them with Haken too in Atlanta. Also got to see them their first US tour. Played in Detroit same night as Opeth so there were only about 15 of us there. They are great live!

[@Ryguypie17]

I was at that show! August Hall. It was such an incredible performance

[@joelk.3917]

Was asked to go to "a concert" by a friend of mine nearly 5 years ago. It was Leprous...have seen them 5 times since and I absolutely think I've never seen or heard a band before who's live performances are as good as/better than the album versions.

[@ricardoellevener338]

I love Leprous, please react more of them! Greetings from Brazil

[@pmtnoise5855]

Please react to The Dear Hunter "Mustard Gas", or "A Night In The Town" or "Is There Anybody Here"...

[@fridonina]

Saw this band live three times now, truly great ! Every member of my house hold is listening to Leprous, perfect for long car trips too !! This is the absolute best band at the moment in this genre.....love your reactions by the way, I was amazed the first time I heard them too

[@anabelalucas194]

Leprous is such an amazing band! This last album is great, and you should check the others also!

[@spiral2012]

Happy Easter! Would love to see you react to Pain of Salvation's 'King of Loss' or 'Beyond the Pale.'

[@stevesummer82]

Ah Leprous, you can never go wrong with them.

[@TheDianeira]

Great video! More Leprous please! :)

[@brizza72]

Rewind or Third Law by these is a must.

[@Pattagorn123]

Check out Haken! They are mainly influenced by Gentle Giant and Dream Theater. Falling back to earth or Cockroach King (not the single edit otherwise you'll miss the great jazz part that was cut) are great introductions.

[@deanwolfechannel]

Will do

[@satriadionika7140]

Plini,tessract,leprous and wintersun is the best for me

[@RhuneforgeArt]

Hi Dean, you should definitively listen to last Opeth, In Cauda Venenum.

[@jamescombridgeart]

If you're looking for more prog rock - you should definitely check out Wheel. Their song 'wheel' is a great place to start

[@reneskarmyr]

Happy times; Leprous has just released a new single from the upcomming album; the song is named Running Low, and they’ve also made a video for it. Would love to see your reaction on it🙏🏻

[@deanwolfechannel]

Ok

[@jackillin]

Cello...was a fairly new addition I think.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Cello player is now a member of the band. Fun to watch him with them live.

[@jackillin]

@@Kelly.sapphire Yes, I dug around his solo work & his work with Leprous work a bit more, fantastic musican.

[@diegoquilodran4150]

Please react to the sky is red, is a pearl in this album

[@didierb5251]

This album is really good. Really. So was Malina. But I prefer Coal or the Congragation. More metal, and crazy rythmic patterns

[@freas8520]

Now, do Darkwater and Alive part 2!

[@ArthurKrasnov]

Thanks dude! Leprous - 'The sky is red' please )))

[@deanwolfechannel]

I'm close to a full album react, stay tuned.

[@floridabelle]

I like this a lot for the music. The vocals are a bit high for my liking. I am however, interested in hearing more just in case the vocal pitch comes down a bit. 👍

[@avigayegos1496]

remindes me of the band "japan"

[@deanwolfechannel]

Love Japan....Mick Karn, David Sylvian...

[@johnw6137]

Missing your tool reactions man!!

[@deanwolfechannel]

Another is up next. I do so many Tool ones I made a setlist of just Tool. Eventually I will run out of Tool and will be just like you guys, Tool virginity lost!

[@holyshit1916]

Dean Wolfe I honestly had gotten my hopes up that you had posted a reaction to “Bottom” by Tool! I’ve been waiting for that one. The live versions are my favorite but the production on Undertow makes it my favorite album of theirs easily.

[@benjamindavidson632]

All of leprous is .....
