Reaction to Manowar - Guyana (Cult of the Damned)

[@russellhamilton8903]

Please, please, please more Manowar 🤘🏻 Eric Adams is a vocal enigma that doesn't get the credibility from the industry that he deserves. We Manowarriors know what he does, and he's still doing at 70! 🇬🇧🖤

[@TheGrizzypoo]

+1 more Manowar!

[@venomdust1]

Other bands play……….MANOWAR KILLS🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@T.P.-oc3ux]

👏👏👏

[@Ноунейм-з6щ]

It's amazing how such a great song did not become a hit of all times and peoples. This is a real masterpiece that everyone should know

[@1982jeepcj8]

This is a epitaph of the victims the "Reverend " Jim Jones, who lead his followers to a settlement in Guyana, and poisoned them with cyanide laced kool-aid, killing them all, elderly, woman and children first. Knowing the inherent darkness and evil behind this song makes it hit a bit different. The story needs to be remembered and song is a good way to do this.

Manowar is why I got into metal , hearing blood of my enemies in 1984 as a 13 year old blew my mind , there's no one better than Eric Adams After Ross departed they were never the same.

[@ruialves624]

Eric's voice is unmatched! I highly recomend you to react the track "Mountains" 🤘

[@flonkplonk1649]

Mountains and Master of the Wind are sooo great to show his excellence in singing / impression !

[@joshuajohnson2216]

The reason why I love Manowar because they're the best metal bands of all time 👍🤘🤟🌹

[@metalstorm7506]

This song always gives me chills having had read a ton of stuff about the Jim Jones cult. One of the most frightening parts is at the very end when Eric Adams screams “Motheeer! MOTHER!! MOTHEEER !! “ It’s heart breaking because I have read war veterans sharing stories when their friends are dying on the battlefield. Young boys, late teens or in their early 20’s, children sent to God knows where, at the threshold of death are crying for their mothers and it’s heartbreaking. It gave me chills by merely thinking about it for the rest of the night I read these things

[@pavolridrich3434]

Manowar is amazing, so many killer songs, so many surprises you can hear... and Eric is a singer god! seriously you can choose so many songs from their discography... and live they are absolute power

[@PlacidDragon]

wow, hearing Manowar (and especially this old track) was a very unexpected and pleasant surprise :)

[@lancebaylis3169]

The darkly humorous way the lyrics tackle the dark (and very real) subject matter is my favorite part. "We're dying of thirst!" is very bleakly funny in context, but never makes me forget what the song is about. The song came out only six years after Reverend Jim and his followers killed themselves in the jungle. References abound to life in the encampment, and tell a story from the followers' perspective. The riffs evoke this mad chaotic world of Jim Jones' cult perfectly, and certain parts bring to mind unforgettable on-the-ground photographs of Jonestown's 900+inhabitants bodies decomposing in the harsh Guyana sun. 'Bigfoot' was the name of a torture device used by Jones to keep his cultists in line, literally submerging them underwater until they nearly died. That final line, "Mother, mother, mother", was a reference to something said during the infamous death tape -- Jones admonishing his followers for not laying down with dignity as they choke to death around him. All in all this is one of Manowar's most powerful songs, perfectly in tune with the over-the-top, "can it be real?" nature of the subject matter.

[@cuttlefisch]

Thanks, I have always wondered about the "Bigfoot" reference.

[@makarijecudotvorac6382]

You got to listen the full album from where this song is. It's masterpiece.

[@luisnunes3863]

A song from my favorite Manowar album! Thanks Sabina. Thor the Powerhead, Mountains, Guyanna... wow The song is about the tragedy of Jonestown, where the cult led by Jim Jones engaged in mass suicide/murder mostly by cyanide poison distributed in a flavored drink (the origin of the expression drinking the kool-aid) after Congressman Leo Ryan led an investigation into the commune and was murdered while boarding a return flight with defectors. I never really got a western vibe from this one, but I see how someone might, now that you mention it.

[@MrJerichoPumpkin]

don't forget The Oath

[@henningschwertfeger8128]

It is one of my favorite Manowar Songs. The lyrics are not funny, but the sound and the arrangement is awesome. You seemed to enjoy that song as i did, the first time i listened to it. A great reaction, thank you very much

[@-Heavy-]

Uhhhh,a real classic from Manowar!Very unusual but good choice!!!! 🤘

[@stephenhitchen8753]

Another great track off the same album, Mountains ,these two tracks probably my favourite manowar.

[@LongLiveRockAnRoll]

Great song, from Joey's unique bass style on the intro to Eric's amazing vocals. The lyrics tell a real life story and prove Manowar can do way more than just the "battle/true metal" stuff that I also love but a lot of people use to dismiss them. Very cool to see someone starting out on their Manowar listening journey, enjoy 😄

[@philbertdesanex9355]

One of their best Songs, but totaly underatet. Thank You for reacting. 🙂

[@jim7174]

The subject matter is very sad but Manowar did such an amazing job bringing the story to the listener just awesome 🤘

[@Fasnic]

As a singer... I worked my ass off in my 20s to hit Eric's clean chest vocals and his screams. It was hours of practice.

[@DanielGarcia-sh8gk]

WOW '84 I'm old! 😅 Good reaction & good choice Sabina! ❤

[@birminghamchris9377]

If memory serves, this song is about an active cult in 1970’s Guyana. Typically cults are run by various levels of maniac with high levels of self delusion. I think this cults actions resulted in the deaths of many hundreds of people. Leaving aside the theme, this song is slightly reminiscent of early Black Sabbath…I love the less than subtle guitar riff and a great mid song solo…how rock should be played. Sabina..another example of reacting to the lyrics without the distraction of a video…loved it.

[@arockalypsgaming]

Always been one of my favorite Manowar songs. Such a heavy topic write a song about and they pull it off flawlessly.

[@balticstain7150]

I've never taken any notice of this band but omg what a performance and vocals amazing so well written well done....

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Great reaction. I didn't listen to this song in ages. Thank you for the reminder how much I like it. Greetings from Germany

[@fabiolignelli7372]

Great reaction! None of the many "super famous vocal experts on KZbin" had the audacity to analyze and react to a wonderful song by a band (Manowar) that, in fact, and it is undeniable, irrefutable, released sacred albums in the 80s, and which has an absurd vocalist (Eric Adams), an extraterrestrial, one of the greatest vocalists in the history of popular music, not just specifically Heavy Metal. Fact.

[@flonkplonk1649]

Absolutely, Eric Adams is the best metal vocalist ever!

[@HeavyRulezz]

We need more ManoWar no doubt \m/

[@HansKuhlmann]

One of the best songs of Manowar, I still listen to it sometimes. And the lyrics are exceptional, because it's not about war, the power of Manowar's Metal, warriors, enemies or glory

[@andreasth3r3b3ll3]

Many thx for watching this, i love this song, dont know why, but it has something very special. Greetings from an old German rocker :)

[@sig7049]

Excellent and rare choice for a reaction! Would recommend Hail to England or Blood of my Enemies next. The raw sound of that album is just awesome and unmatched

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

I'm traveling literally half way across the planet to see Manowar In February. Because I know it will be worth it.

[@robingelebal8447]

Great pioneering band! I've some records in house. And at concerts, they said you are risky to become deaf.

[@АндрейВиненко-в3ю]

Ору просто... Эту песенку пол века не слышал😊 Спасибо. До слёз...

[@matthewmcallister6504]

MASTERPIECE

[@jrg770]

This song is based on the true story of the cult of Jim Jones - In Jonestown - Guyana.

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Cool, Manowar! Hail to England and Sign of the Hammer were their peak. \m/

[@thunderspike1892]

One of my old classmates did some local radio show. I borrowed him the album and asked him to do Guyana. He gave up after the bass intro 😂 Check out Manowar - Dark Avenger and Defender with a narration by legendary actor Orson Welles If you want to check out guitarist Ross The Boss Friedman before Manowar look into his old band The Dictators doing Search & Destroy. Originally by The Stooges. Also present in The Dictators were Mark The Animal Mendoza on bass. Known for Twisted Sister. On Search & Destroy he plays more bass than he did in all his years in Twisted Sister.

[@arthy27]

I know that Manowar it's nothing close to the mainstream and you do it only for your patreon but please do more Manowar. this is so rare band on reaction channels and I'm glad you react to them. also I'm sure you'll like song With Chrisopher Lee (Saruman) which is Manowar - Defender. peace

[@cristianmattia78]

excellent choice Sabina. Eric Adams is definitely in the top 5 metal singers of all time. I invite you to listen to Secret of steel....you won't be disappointed. Another great choice could be the song Noble Savage by Virgin Steele. You will meet the divine David DeFeis.

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

Hello I am from Guyana 🇬🇾.

[@adultart]

We need more MANOWAR!

[@meetwar]

FIRST THAN NOTHIN, SORRY FOR MY BAD, BAD ENGISH!! I just found your channel and I'm in love already. I love your style, you don´t stop the song, but let us know your impressions by writtings. Eric Adams is one of the best metal singer in the Heavy Metal history, thers no doubt about it. Please, give us the pleasure of you opinion about a song called King of Kings, that would be great!!! Congratulations!!!

[@andystone6777]

one of the best human made music ever created. We should send this into outer space and tell that Klingon bunch 'this s the music we're doin party with. If you like it, you're welcome to show up and join. But don't forget to have enough blood wine and gagh with you !' 🙂 may you rest in peace, Scott Columbus and have endless fun in Sto'Vo'Kor drinking with Khaless Sabina: I love looking at you how you get into it and let it take over control. This track's one of my all time favorites since nearly 30 yrs ?

[@nelsonsenatori9737]

Sabina , Manowar is fantastic !!! Sign of the Hammer ALBUM change the way of many people who is wanted news songs in 80 decade !!!! Sugest Listen BRIDGE OF DEATH , REVELATION DEATH ANGELS , DARK AVENGER !!!!😊

[@HellBrYnger]

"Manowar - Touch the sky" is a always a fun one ;) \mm/

[@flonkplonk1649]

The best of their recent songs for sure

[@tasos0140]

Blood of my enemies, Mountains, Bridge of death, Heart of steel are some recommendations. Great reaction!

Hi. One of the best Metal song ever made.

[@mosesk2216]

I love your reaction.

[@jarkkokyntaja4073]

This or Mountains, my all time favorite songs from Manowar. Eric Adams, in his prime, was so ridiculous good. This song is like a rollercoaster ride, from one strength to another. There´s just nothing you want to change in this song.

[@mevkii6]

great choice👍 hard to find it around reaction community:)

[@antoniocarlin5026]

Yeah...you can react next to "Defender" Manowar with Orson Welles... Orson was a True Manowar Fan!

[@sarcasticconsultant378]

Good suggestion, if you're talking about the original version of '83...

[@FancyPrimate]

I love Manowar so much! This is a random reaction song though, hahaha

[@metalstorm7506]

This song hits differently when you read about the Jonestown massacre

[@marcoskazu_]

"Battle Hymns" (1982) is a classic album from heavy metal history. Listen to it one day, please! It's a masterpiece. Orson Welles participates in a war narration.

[@Kraakesolv]

She did the Battle Hymns song.

[@tomaszbielak]

Great reaction 🥰

[@s.keikhosro_5555]

Ur selection is great 👍

[@rokker1976]

Yes yes and yes from Stockholm 🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@jond.2868]

Yeah, some of the lyrics are part comedy....He told us life was just a hotel, time to check out when he rang a bell. I agree but, the mentality for me, when I listened to this record in the 80's, was like how foolish can you be. A cult leader who sucks people in and takes everything they have. I listened to a lot of different metal groups during the 80's. It was a scary time. The cold war with Russia was a huge thing. A lot of metal was centered around the end of the world scenario. And then came hair metal. Not good. But, that's another story. Thanks so much for reviewing and Epic song from Manowar. They are True Metal.

[@JeanAlainXavier-ze9jc]

Sign of the hammer, still my favorite Manowar album

Love this song. Unfortunately, when I watch Moana with the kids, I always want to follow up the big swelling “I AM MO-ANNA” with “*dun dun* AND THE CULT OF THE DAMNED!”

[@GiovannaDrakul]

This song is about the most famous mass suicide in the world, look up the story about Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple, and you might get a lead on your "western vibes" and see how the dynamics on this song are even more brilliant when you put it together with the history it illustrates.

[@TheGukumatz]

All the man play on ten, I listened this whole album since 1984, and I liked since.It´s a Masterpiece!!!. The Sign of the Hammer.

[@Renaud.Gloglo.Blasinski]

Western style : probably comes from the native amerindian style of the rhythm. It seems that the main leader and bassist, Joey deMaio, has cherokee blood (or is it just a legend he likes to spread ? At least he has the look) ; and some of their songs are about native americans (at least Crazy Horse, maybe others)

[@kirbyjohnson8417]

I listened to the FBI tapes from the cult they recorded the last day...hearing the children crying in the background at the start of the tape and hearing them talking about giving them there kool aid and by the end of the tape it was quiet...such a disturbing tape.

[@theotang681]

that is the bass guitar right at start of the song.

[@RayPauldine]

you do realize that this song is about the mass murder / suicide of Jonestown, Guyana ?????

[@johnwiesner6534]

I like the melody and heaviness of the song. But this work is not fun or about fun. In the early 70's a cult leader named Jim Jones took a couple of hundred "followers" from the States to Guyana to be out of sight. Soon after a young lady wrote home about the sinister things that were going there. It prompted a Congressman to go there for an inspection and got shot to death for his efforts. Jones realized that the game was over and had gallons of poisoned Kool Aid mixed up and all of the "followers" drank it at his request. Men, women and children complied. A couple of days later the carnage was discovered. Nobody was left standing. There is a cameraman's video showing the shooting, but I cannot remember if he lived or not. This is were the saying "Don't drink the Kool Aid came from" which is used over here in the States, warning that you were about doing something bad.

[@dalejohnson2047]

I remember this when it happened Jim Jones peoples temple gave about 700 people cyanide in koolaid in the early 1970’s

Hey Sabina! I would like to request a song by a band called Kalandra, if you enjoyed the norwegian artists Wardruna and Aurora i'm sure you will LOVE this norwegian band too, specially because of the angelical vocals of Katrine, the singer. I'd like to recommend the song called Brave New World, it is one of their big hits. It has a beautiful setup and the lyrics are so interesting, and the song is so powerful! It would be my pleasure to be the one to introduce you to this band, i assure you won't regret it. Thanks!
