POLO, what's good man. Enjoying ALL of your reactions 👍😎. You've already reacted to the 70's band Boston. You've got to put this Official Live version of *"Don't Look Back"* on the list for reactions!! It's a MASTERPIECE and WILL make it to the 4Runner 🤔🤨😳🤯😎👍🔥!!!!! *EDIT* I GUARANTEE little man will jam out with you 😉🙂. *ALSO, PLEASE turn on* the "c/c closed captioning"...some lyrics are difficult to hear but make the song incredible!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHnYmntjZbdpl5I

Dude if people are actually saying that, you must look into sevendust if you haven't already, and Animals as Leaders. AAL is Mozart level instrumental progressive metal/djent. Only one of the three is a white dude. Just saying. Also the definitely not white Tosin Abasi is regarded as a or the top guitar player these days. It's a tight race for the top and white dudes are not the majority there. 🤣🤣 White people music. Metal and rock owe everything to blues, jazz, and R&B. When it came out it was called black people music. My dad came up during beatnik and hippie eras and for being a white kid listening to the Beatles he caught black racial slurs. Bro be yourself. They'll adjust. 😁

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

PLZ, PLZ, PLZ react to Away by Cam Cole. It's only 3:30 or so, and it's GREAT!!! Don't you just wanna go away from this world we've made sometimes?!!! Go Away with Cam & don't worry. He brings it home at the end. You'll really like Cam, methinks.

Maggots, we are called, are some of the greatest fans out there. Slipknot has been at it so long they still outdo their younger counterparts.

Try unsainted, nero forte, the devil in i, wait and bleed and the lead singer, Corey Taylor, other band stone sour, different but still great

Corey also has his solo stuff, CMFT (Corey Mother F******* Taylor). It boggles the mind how energetic/crazy he is 😮 xx

yeah no doubt one of the top metal bands from the late 90s... I can still remember playing Warhammer 40k with my homie listening to Manson and then Slipknot came out and it was a life changer (nonetheless credits to Blind Guardian, Freedom Call, later on Sabaton omg Sabaton are gods to me, 5FDP, Soulfly and hundreds of other bands who shaped metal music)

[@wolfinthesno]

There are actually four percussionists in slipknot, though the main drummer Joey Jordison (on this track) was and still is considered one of the most amazing drummers of the 90's, and 00's. He unfortunately began losing the use of his legs due to transverse myelitis, and this also eventually caused his death. The very end of a slipknot's show during knotfest was pretty special as they paid tribute to both of their lost members, their names, their numbers (within the band), and if I remember right a photo, of each were up on these massive screens as a very soft song played and it just feels surreal at the end of the show.

[@user-me9in1yu6s]

It's three percussionist not four if I'm not mistaken.

[@wolfinthesno]

@@user-me9in1yu6s you are correct! I was thinking there were two regular +clown but it's clown and one other who are the percussionists besides their main drummer jay now.

There's three percussionists (Joey (who was replaced by Jay), Clown and Chris (who left the band because of some financial disagreement and was replaced by Michael Pfaff/Tortilla Man))
