Old Composer REACTS to Chevelle Face to the Floor // Metal Music Reaction - The Decomposer Lounge

[@thompson924]

surprised more people aren't requesting "Comfortable Liar"..... that shit slaps lol

[@jprobinson6242]

Comfortable Liar is my fucking jam. 20 years later it and Family System are the only two songs I have never skipped through on a playlist. It’s always the mood.

[@camjam180]

That song with a subwoofer is nuts!

[@SethPlays01]

Dude have you heard “Take out the gunman” that one is the best

[@Wildman70892]

Dude, as a fellow bass lover, you MUST listen to An Evening With El Diablo from Chevelle! ✌️

[@SteelSeoul]

Their bassists have always laid down some solid bass lines

[@ianmccombs8149]

I recommended this song as well like a month ago. Really hope he does it. The song is just nuts.

[@PersHades]

Door to Door Cannibals! Just.....yes!

[@Singleballtheory]

Could not agree more. Should have been a single, imo. It's just so damn good.

[@toolrjm]

Great fking song!!

[@tungmiyaynusnbahls8936]

I recommend Sleep Apnea by Chevelle for the next one.

[@Hoosier3091]

That or Panic Prone. Two of my faves

[@jamberGARDENS]

Anything from Sci-Fi Crimes would suffice.

[@posesepulu3771]

Most underrated single Well Enough Alone.

Yes Sleep Apnea!!! 🤘

"Its not the size of a D that counts its how they play it" 🤣🤣🤣

[@trzigweid]

Literally laughed out loud when he said that. I'm waiting for the bus.

[@johnlittle8975]

It's not the sixe of the D in the song; it's the motion of the rhythm.

[@Lammdogg]

What I love about Chevelle: Toolesque from 25 years ago without copying Tool from 25 years ago

[@maxs1060]

They're like an everyday man's Tool in the best possible way

[@Lammdogg]

@@maxs1060 I like the way you worded that. I can get on board.

Well said.

[@nfbuckeye]

Chevelle is a very underrated band.

[@wardamn3agle]

Maybe in your small circle.

[@jessesisson2955]

Do "The Clincher" by Chevelle--bet you love it.

[@hollis68]

Chevelle never disappoints and certainly filled the prog rock gap left by Tool’s 13 year layoff. Never got the respect they deserved and probably the best live performers!

[@mogsy2112]

This is one of my favorite Chevelle tunes. That main riff is infectious.

[@restingbird263]

Love Chevelle so much, Top 5 favorite bands. Their guitar and bass tones are epic. And Sam?... one of my favorite drummers.

[@brandon_png9743]

An Evening With el Diablo is my favorite song by them, hope you get around to hearing it!

[@ScottRomans-l8n]

Found you in my feed! As a musician you really get it,and break it down for non-musicians to get a deeper understanding of why they do what they do! Awesome! Subscribing now! 👍

[@cheffeels870]

Keep up the Chevelle!!!!

[@avedic]

I don't love Chevelle. But I've always liked Chevelle.....they occupy a cool little niche to me. Nowhere near as great or creative as Tool. And nowhere near as basic and shitty as say....a band like Trapt. They're just damn good and consistent. And every so often do something super interesting. Just a solid band with cool riffs.

[@jessebolin255]

“Get Some” is a killer track. Highly recommended

[@johnyoung4561]

My favorite track! 🤘🤘🤘

[@Morstius]

Did not expect Chevelle, loving it, I double the Sleep Apnea request!

[@tobyappel8966]

This is a 3 piece band as well, kick ass sound from only 3 guys!

[@n__rtu8324]

[@quincesauce]

Actually only a two-piece now, but they do have a touring bassist!

[@richardsinclair7661]

@@n__rtu8324 2 years late, but nobody answered your question, so I will. Chevelle was a thing almost two decades before Royal Blood existed. Also I don't think Royal Blood sounds "exactly" like Chevelle, but that's not a dig. I just don't here the same similarity as you.

[@tkelly830]

Love that your doing Chevelle. Please do some more man, they have such a deep catalogue. Incredible band.

[@chris16durban]

Hell YEAH dude! Another one of my favourite bands, these guys are super underrated.

[@albreezy26]

Man chevelle has always been one of my guilty pleasures. One of the few hard rock commercial bands that I still listen to today. Would be cool to see you react to some of the new album like "so long mother earth" or some of their classics like " the red" or "well enough alone". Tons of great music

[@chickenmonger123]

He did So Long Mother Earth about 2 months back.

Saw Chevelle-"Fuck. Yes." Can't wait for you to do more. Seen them live 4-5 times and they're ALWAYS excellent.

[@nunya6874]

Ha…same!

[@metalgirlinthemaritimes]

This song is a completely visceral experience for me. Gets you right off the jump with that thick and chunky guitar/bass combo. Only real music fans understand what I mean by "thick and chunky". Smashes you right in the center of the chest. Love how you break down the difference between the left and right. Genius reaction, man. You continue to amaze me :)

[@lindacoy7165]

Thank you so much! I subscribed when I caught your previous CheVelle reaction. If you do another one consider “Get Some”, “Forfeit”, “Family System”, or “Envy”. Their discography is fantastic..

[@ChizAfterHours]

Some of my favorite Chevelle songs : Saturdays, Another Know it All, and Get Some for sure. You should check out "The Evil has Landed" and "Avon" by Queens of the Stone Age and "Hymn for a Droid", "Cubensis Lenses" and many others of the Psychedelic P*rn Crumpets.

[@erikzacha]

Hell yeah Saturdays

[@ChizAfterHours]

@@erikzacha It's my favorite. I wish they played more off Vena Sera live!

[@n__rtu8324]

haha very nice - only the second time i've seen someone suggest Porn Crumpets! I feel like he would rrrreallly enjoy "and the Addled Abstract of Being" because of the soaring orchestral arrangements ;-)

Would definitely check out “Door to Door Cannibals” next!

[@danijones8601]

Banger

[@Carson_Van_McUber]

Great suggestion.

[@johnyoung4561]

👏👏👏

[@quincesauce]

There are so many excellent Chevelle tracks. The Clincher, Mexican Sun, Pinata. The whole discography is chock-full of incredible riffs and melodies that give me goosebumps. All time favorite for sure.

[@JaySay]

FINALLY some more Chevelle! They have to be one of my favorite bands I've discovered in the last 4 or 5 years. _Vitamin R_ and _Jars_ got me listening to them, but the albums La Gargola and Hats Off to the Bull really hit hard with who Chevelle are to me. Geebz, you have to listen to _An Island_ or _One Ocean_ off of La Gargola, even if you don't do a vid on them. Fantastic songs

[@whiterosesalchemist]

yeah been listening to them since Point #1 they've always been awesome

[@froshambo]

Their newest album is an absolute slammer.

[@sodvs7062]

Take out the gunman

[@JaySay]

@@froshambo I'm def gonna pick it up sometime soon, but I've been rolling through a lot of old albums that I haven't touched in years; it's a really long process...

[@NotoriousDaddle]

Yeah, this settles it. This is my favorite KZbin channel. The way you explain this is phenomenal, you open up an understanding of my favorite songs I would've never had. I'm a musician, albeit a mediocre one, but hearing you gush over small production things most people don't catch warms my heart.

[@ryanhadley6504]

Chevelle is just Awesome

[@j2swanky]

Geeeebz, nice song choice, one of my favorites from them! I'd recommend "I Get It" if you plan to revisit Chevelle in the future. Great decomposition as always!

[@ItIsZONK]

YES!!!! CHEVELLE!!!!!! Sooooo many great tunes they've created. Really glad you are diving into them. Also thanks. Learning so much from your perspective and now listening to songs in a somewhat different manner and loving it.

[@Demention94]

This songs rocks your face to into the floor. That's why I like Chevelle. Simple and sweet.

[@redfender5814]

First time I saw them live, they were the band that plays while people are still coming in. I immediately went to their merch table and bought Point #1. To this day my favorite album

[@kadenvolan3557]

So happy Chevelle made it back on the channel.

[@thejadedgeminigeek1293]

Some music its the hook riff, but my favorite artist its the voice of the lead and the energy put into it.

[@Liz-cmc313]

This is the second time you've popped up with this band that I was just listening to.

[@JaySay]

Then keep on listening to 'em! One of my fav's

[@xxndoxx1]

Ahhh, AWESOME... Love me some Chevelle! If you're planning on hitting them again soon, I'd for sure check out one of their newer bangers, Self Destructor! Awesome guitar work throughout and that same kind of haunting vocal, definitely a great listen with those cans on! 👍

[@amandajane5743]

Another great song. I love this band. I was lucky enough to see them live when they opened for The Butterfly Effect in 2007. I don't think they have been back to Australia since, so I'm so glad I saw them.

[@brandoncrow3741]

Great choice, Geebz! This album was produced and engineered by Joe Barresi, who also did the last two TooL albums. Chevelle is heavily influenced by TooL, and you can hear what "Evil" Joe, as he's called, does to make these bands sound amazing. He's known as a guitar centric producer, but man he knows how to make that bass tone growl like a lion! Love this album, check out "Hats off to the Bull" or "Take out the Gunman" for more Chevelle and Evil Joe goodness. Aloha! 🤙

[@torunsmok5890]

Hell yea, hats off to the Bull and take out the gunman are a couple of my favorites from them!

[@Weezer2000]

I love watching him react to parts of songs I know will get a face change! I knew the final chorus would get him on this song with the added melody part! He did not disappoint. 10:13

[@CalminCali]

Geebz, would love to see an Every Time I Die reaction. Map Change, Moor, Decayin’ with the Boys, Fear and Trembling. Lots of excellent choices

[@cefhamster]

Seconded!! Best hardcore band in the game

[@dobermanplaces]

Bruh, ETID is life! Revisited em recently. Purchased physical copies and digital copies of their albums. Geebz could pick any song of theirs.

[@abemiller4021]

It's so cool that you picked this song to do for the second reaction to Chevelle. There's so many others you could have done. This is an absolutely fantastic super heavy song. I love how Pete actually sings with this powerhouse of music behind him. The bass and percussion is unreal. This album is my favorite to listen to when I am shoveling multiple inches or feet of snow in the winter in northern Minnesota. It totally drives me. I think I've bought 5 shovels in the last 3 years.

[@myrielt]

So excited to see another Chevelle reaction! They’re my favorite band and this song is great

[@iosif_drummer]

Please do more reacts to NINE INCH NAILS. They are such a unique band and Trent Reznor is such a musical genius that it almost makes me tear up of happiness. Peace and love from Romania

Atlanta from Stone Temple Pilots is a must react, it's such a beautiful track.

[@mistersmeagol259]

[@oaksandnix]

Can we get some "An Evening With El Diablo" - Chevelle? The bass alone on that track is wild

[@77Samuel75]

You should do Mushroomhead: Destroy the World Around Me. It takes so many twists and turns. Each transition is seamless and the song as a whole is an 8min. journey that leaves you wanting more. I promise you will thank me. You should do some Static X also.

[@slikwikid931]

I believe Chevelle tunes their gear to drop C. Forfeit, The Red, Bend the Bracket, Send the Pain Below, Well Enough Alone, Vitamin R. Luv what you do, friend!

[@laughingcoffinz4667]

Please do more Chevelle! I would recommend The Red, Saturdays, or Letter from a Thief....they're all great!!!

Great 3 piece band! I saw them live in 2019 and they sounded great!

[@skyshroudsrelics7909]

Its not the heaviest sound wise but the song "Saturdays" has got to be my fave Chevelle song. I know you dont do lyrics but its a nostalgic ride about how we all feel safest in those saturdays of our youth. Song makes me cry sometimes. Straight jacket fashion is a wonderful ride aswell. So much melody.

[@EdmundKempersDartboard]

It's pretty remarkable that a band of brothers can manage to work so well together for so long. Look at Oasis.

[@BUD420MAN]

Chevelle is basically Tool without all the math ...Very "in the Pocket" for the most part with their radio tracks!!! . All their well known hits will be the "Under a minute to win it" type , but they also have their longer more intricate Tool/A Perfect Circle type songs. And basically being a 2 to 3 man band with a hired bassist and the occasional additional guitar for tours, they are in my top ten favorites. Vitamin R and The Clincher are also great well known radio hits....you really cant go wrong with these guys! Just randomly chose a song and enjoy!! Non - Point is another great band with their own uniquely funky approach and sound.

[@brettforsythe9401]

Thank you for doing more Chevelle. They are so much a radio-oriented band, but have sneaky fantastic songs on their albums. If you ever do some more Chevelle, please consider "Shameful Meataphors" off Sci-Fi Crimes or "Saferwaters" off Vena Sera. Vocals as an instrument really make those two songs exemplary cuts from the Chevelle catalog.

[@chrisbentley3988]

Love it... chevelle is so underrated! 🤘🏼

Probably read this comment a hundred times. Their first few albums were recorded and performed by THREE BROTHERS. As a fellow musician I could only imagine how amazing/crazy that would be. Please listen to the opening two songs from their debut album POINT #1. It’s a very raw recording, but such a well written intro and bleed into the next track. Few musicians write “albums” anymore. It’s a good listen my man.
