PERIPHERY The Bad Thing - Producer Reaction

[@Scurr7]

You got me pumped up even after I've listened to this song a thousand times haha. They do a lot of "syncopation", where the time signature is often just 4/4, but they add accents where you wouldn't normally hear them. Or play something a different time signature over a 4/4 beat. You can hear the drummer usually keeping a cymbal or pedal-hat on the "true time". This is why it sounds off, but still has a groove.

[@alexflannery9361]

Deffinatly but it helps to listen to the drums with periphery because as soon as you can hear what beat the snare is on then its alot easier to understand for instance this song has the accent on beet 3 of every bar pretty much all the way through it but the guitars are just dancing around it on the up beat

[@rancejames22]

Got me totally pumped as well!! I was ready to break stuff in my room!

[@JMDrummer]

Welcome to Periphery!... It's lovely here! 😉

[@victorsupreme214]

Don't do it! This kind of music is addictive. When you've found where 'one' is it's all over!

[@T_Tomko]

Periphery is such a technical band, its amazing to listen to. Any song to pick for future reactions wouldn't be a wrong one.

[@erickmazur807]

Its goes like this. "PERIPHERY SOUNDS LIKE EVERYTHING, NOTHING SOUNDS LIKE PERIPHERY" end.

[@kaixgt2]

Here’s a tip for headbanging to bands like Periphery: Listen to the drum cymbals. They are usually being played in 4/4 so it still has a groove. If you want another song by them that has a good groove, try Rainbow Gravity. The verses are awesome.

[@Kabz8]

Hilarious reaction, Periphery is an all-time great band!

[@summeronio9751]

My dude almost started hardcore dancing didnt even know it. We might have a metalhead on our hands over here

[@Posirep]

Their bassist is also the bands "producer".... The band does pretty much everything themselves

[@AlfredoVenero]

One of the sickest bands out there

[@JiggleJammer]

My favorite band ever. Typical song request but a goodie, try reptile. You’ll thank me later.

[@floralfire]

Bro YES REPTILE

[@itLEAKED]

[@summeronio9751]

That ho suuuuuuper long...but it's so good

[@jameslyddall]

I am listening to periphery for the first time this week just discovered them. I don’t know why but I think of Chester from Linkin Park when I listen to this vocalist. Pretty sure they can do a great linkin park cover.

[@JiggleJammer]

@@summeronio9751 it doesn't feel long to me. Once I hit play it feels like only a minute or two and I'm already 10 minutes plus into the song. I just lose myself in the song. Pure masterpiece.

[@moatfloater]

The amazing part is the band is mostly self-produced as well.

[@9808298125]

This song.... ✌️😭 One of my favorite by Periphery.... Rock on man.... 🤘😎

[@Room-uc5se]

Glad the guy doing the lights has his shit together as much as the band does.

[@allaboutauburn5590]

Seen them live several times. Intricate time signatures and my favorite band.

[@ahmaddanial99]

Finally, a Periphery on this channel...

[@DS0713]

Careful, you walk too far into metal and it becomes a life sentence.

[@AntExe-ey5my]

This is true. I wandered into metal when I was about 8 and I've never wanted to leave. (32 now)....The guards let me listen to a nice aria from time to time though, when I need to cool off.

[@quinnmitchel4075]

And you wander in a mosh pit and are never seen again

[@joshx555]

Periphery is a life sentence. And im guilty as charged

[@kylephillips7527]

How I feel everytime I listen to Periphery! Which is all day everyday! haha

[@drphalanges1520]

I love to see more and more people getting into metal. There's so much groove and pocket and everything that makes an enjoyable piece of music. It's great for getting out that aggression.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Love this band! Great live and Spencer has one of my favorite voices.

[@cardbored_]

I kept LOL'ing at the "AYYEEEEE!" you were throwing in

[@980Logan]

One of my favorite periphery reactions out there!!

[@MilanTehVillain]

G’day all the way from Australia, Mike! Glad to see a Periphery reaction from you. I got to see them live in Melbourne back in 2017 as part of their Australian tour.

[@DoomsDaysLIVE]

It’s a really long song but please for the love of all, react to Reptile by Periphery. It is an absolute masterpiece off their most recent album “Hail Stan”

[@jdm9119]

Oh ya, Reptile is a great song for reactions . Great lyrics and super dynamic instrumentals. Can’t wait to see more periphery, or any honestly any metal, on this channel

[@Mist_R]

YESSSSS

[@Crow-xm3nm]

This reaction video put my faith back in humanity. You got a new sub! Love the energy 💪🏻

[@maximenadeau3469]

I come here just to recharge my battery watching the happiness you give off

[@joshx555]

Haahhaha "he counting hard! Look at him he countin hard!". Lol he's head banging. And I'm sure they have in ear monitors for the tempo and what not lol.

[@carloss.sounds]

we need more periphery. go next with the song 'flatline'

[@TheMusicRecordingNetwork]

Added, to the list.

[@Room-uc5se]

Love this song. And Lune is so beautiful

[@Richardhats1]

Loved the reaction, this is my favorite band!! As others have said you really can’t do wrong with any song, they’re all amazing. But the 17 minute Reptile off their newest album is one of the best songs they’ve ever made. For shorter song recommendations, Flatline or The Way The News Goes are both fantastic. This band is a deep rabbit hole of incredible music!

[@quinnmitchel4075]

I feel like people nowaday who likr hip hop and rap would like some metal like thid that is all about the groove and theyd all groove to it cause they like rap hip hop for groove. This song is so heavy and groovy and melodic.

[@iDustball]

The whole Juggernaut narrative is a great story for a concept album which The Bad Thing is part of. I highly recommend the song Stranger Things which is one of the most beautiful songs that had a solid range of both heaviness and melody with a lot of that progressive technically you were grooving with.

[@TechnoticTV]

your vibes are actually so contagious

[@Swollen_Goat]

The album this is from, Juggernaut, Is amazing. And they have only gotten better since that double release.

[@shadowFIEND298]

Man hit the 16th note grid and said timeout 😂😂

[@shanemaxwell1784]

Listen to the Hi-hats for the tempo, not the kicks. The hi-hats are basically 4-4 timing in a lot of parts of the song.

[@thelionzmusic]

The snare gives it away a lot of the time too, it’s just that we aren’t too used to a snare on 3 in rock music, it’s usually more electronic styles that feature this level of polyrhythms etc like (and I know I’ll get crucified for this but hear me out) dubstep, where the groove comes from the melodic elements rather than the drums.

[@ebearorama6642]

Yep! When you're new to this music you focus on guitars when really if you follow the drums your head is going to bob right along.

[@tyrantmind]

Awesome reaction my dude, love this song! My first time hearing it also.

[@joshx555]

Your reaction was better than mine the first time I herd this song. AND I cried

[@pjc.visuals]

First video of yours I've seen, instant sub for the ad-libs and getting hyped up when the breakdown kicked in. Big love from the UK :D

[@kriskenard]

you made my entire day and it's only 1 in the morning! Godspeed, OG~

[@drphalanges1520]

Pro tip: listen to the cymbals. In this kind of music a lot of times the cymbals will keep the beat while everyone else goes off.

[@contentcitycosmos5554]

This was one of the best reactions bro!!! 💯 you were IN IT. 💯

[@lukecampbell801]

I'm not sure if you've listened to any Animals as leaders, but Woven Web is a great song. Also Spectrelight by Mastodon and Rite of Passage by Dream Theater would be good picks. Loving the reactions dude!

[@rb..89]

Solo starting around 6:44... Beginning of the brain melting. Welcome to the djent world!

[@NoahFuturePE]

Came for periphery, liked and subbed for the intro

[@stephenthomson6230]

I find when listening to Periphery I use the symbols to keep time. They are an incredible band and you should definitely check out more. I would recommend the song Garden in the Bones and if you are in for a 16 minute journey, Reptile. Cheers🤘

[@thebroker2191]

This is like the best reaction ever. Pardon my French but I fucking love you dude. Seriously. Your channel is more than just reactions. It’s literal music study. Edit: I figure I’ll give ya a reaction idea “Stand inside your love” by Smashing pumpkins

[@OG-SherlockHolmes]

Might as well check out the band" Animals as Leaders. There guitarist Tosin Abasi is a legend. Physical Education is one of my favs but you can't go wrong. They also play in odd time signatures like this band

[@lukecampbell801]

I was turned off by them not having a vocalist, but once I actually listened to them I realized you don't need one when you play as good them and have such great songwriting.

[@willpestka2745]

Madness of Many is insane. I had to buy it on vinyl to add to my collection. So fucking good

[@castaway__7235]

This intro is gold, had me laughing. SUBBED AND LIKED JUST FOR THAT :)

[@jackbho6594]

Awesome video man, I love your energy!

[@perhvarnes]

Check out Owane "love juice". A funky jazzy approach from the metal scene.

[@discoveranceband]

amazing bro, good shit love it!

[@TheBoogeyman-n7q]

So progressive, so heavy, so metal…it’s wonderful

[@spencerharveytan8117]

Damn. You are really enjoying what you do! haha i'm having fun watching the video! liked and subbed!

[@d4j3b]

Absolute track!

[@enso8762]

Haha love the reaction, you look disappointed when it ended

[@mrazota666]

0:00-1:06, OMG...Best of the best...like!

[@kaskassykas]

Nice one! Reptile by Periphery next ! :)

[@gwchomperz6471]

Gotta love polyrhythm's

[@thelionzmusic]

Actually, most of this song (except the breakdown after the first verse etc) is in 4/4, with the snare on 3, which is why it seems so confusing. The best thing about periphery (Apart from their raw musical talent) is that they know how to really go full send with the syncopation. If you want your brain to be completely scrambled, go check out Reptile, Marigold or Lune! Nice video man, it was so sick to see you lose your shit though, you earned a sub! Big ups man!

[@deadheadliving]

you have to be in the band to catch the timming...omg!! thats me all the time!!

[@erickmazur807]

Just follow the hi hat rhythm Its in 4-4

[@JD_13]

1:29 the video starts here.

[@JD_13]

loved the reaction tho :)

[@LuBeDaddY12]

Subbed because of that intro.

[@mountainstepper]

Love this!! Haha

[@Thomas7Panter]

[@crunchyjoel]

[@georglechner986]

[@georglechner986]

Hey...cool reaction!! Try 'Goliath' from the Band 'Karnivool'! Its in 27/4th... starting on an upbeat...incredible complex Rhythm... and the Sound, and the producing... its aaaaawsome!! Check it out!

[@quinnmitchel4075]

6:16 🤘🏼

[@mourningflowers]

It’s all in 4/4!

[@tylercrews9025]

don't wanna be that guy but the second riff in the song is 7/4 haha. but yeah 90% percent of their stuff is 4/4

[@asset_muratovich]

U will love Animals as Leaders - CAFO!! I guarantee you!!!

[@Daryl42]

Where can I request a song? I would love to see more video game music, such as Devil Trigger by Casey Edwards. Thank you!

[@TheMusicRecordingNetworkLive]

[@quinnmitchel4075]

Hey you should react next to Tesseract - exiled

[@seansilva967]

Do ragnarok 🤘

[@mattbetts01]

Your intro is too long. Also, nothing was "off." It was all in 4/4. The snare was on 3 for most of the video.

[@therealjoshcollier561]

It’s just an odd time signature man it’s hard to learn and master 😂😅

[@RyanCogar]

Most of this is actually 4/4 my dude apart from the pre-chorus parts have some 7/4 parts.

[@mauricemotors8207]

If you think that’s wild listen to stranger things is in 7/4 😎😜

[@muke392]

the snare isn't off time at all. aren't you a "producer"?
