ROADIE REACTIONS | "Spiritbox - Rule of Nines" | [FIRST TIME LISTENING!]

[@Shinobi_sac]

Seeing the one take live vocal version of this track took it to another level for me

[@TankTheTech]

Definitely on my list of things to check out!

[@monsterk7603]

@@TankTheTech I second the one take version of this song. The powerful ending will REALLY blow your socks off.

[@JustKyleH]

Gotta listen to their song Blessed Be!

[@TankTheTech]

Definitely on the radar! Can’t wait to listen to more and more!

[@Daddymatt00]

Yes! Blessed Be [for me] is easily ther best song so far!!!

[@Fireoncityy]

Was gonna recommend the same! Phenomenal song.

[@holliknosho1251]

She is amazing AF!!!

[@wilc9199]

Spiritbox makes me cry inside but its hard to explain thats a good thing ..they make such heavy beautiful music ..she is a goddess :)

[@courtney3893]

You know honestly I say this too. It makes me very emotional and I can't explain it either. When I heard eternal blue, the song I literally cried. Her voice is just amazing..

[@KevinQ25]

Holy Roller is the only song they have so far that has no clean singing. They're one of the best bands in the last few years to come up, for sure.

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

im glad that they mix it, i dont like 100% scream woman but i love when the mix it.

[@coloradoruffneck4230]

They need to tour with erra

[@GoalPost_er]

Blessed Be, Mara Effect (1-3 together), Belcarra, Bleach Bath, Beauty of Suffering, effectively their entire (small library) would be the appropriate recommendation.

[@TankTheTech]

Most of those are on my list! From one Ian to another, THANK YOU!

[@hanksilman4016]

In truth, it's surprising to me that they are effectively batting 100 right now. They've only released singles and the Mara Effect, and ALL of them have been distinguished and good.

[@bradkohl99]

Mara Effect pt 1-3 Live is incredibly done.

[@Lordmunkey]

Can Spiritbox do wrong? No... no they can not.

[@garretdavis5378]

Love that Otep Battle Ready in the background 😉

[@TankTheTech]

YES! Glad someone noticed it!

[@elieshas2040]

Otep is amazing!!! Such a beast

[@adambergstrom3650]

I heard that and I was like... "hey wait I know this song"... considering a lot of the metal female vocalists draw inspiration from Otep.... it was a fitting pick! Love it, dude!

[@AxBEAUTIFULxMISTAKE]

This song would have been a PERFECT vibe for 'the queen of the damned' back in the day.

[@TankTheTech]

Good call!

[@notdynomonkey]

Awesome you made the Queen of the damned comment as I was thinking of Queen Akasha listening to this song..👍

[@esaedvik]

So true. God that movie...and the soundtrack. Whoa.

[@pauldavies2178]

Check out the live vocal over a backing track she does. Better than this version! If you can believe that!

[@TankTheTech]

I’ve heard it’s INCREDIBLE! Will definitely have to take a listen!

[@Tennessee_Plumbing]

yes..please watch it...i think its a "lockdown vocal cover". I dont guess its a cover if she is singing her own song but whatever.

[@TheXMemnochx]

it is really amazing. you feel all the emotions much more than in this music video.

[@19FlyingWombat76]

This live version is really much better! the voice is much more on Top (and the fun on beginning and the " needed this!" on the end ;)

[@phylazen5649]

4:41 "so much groove." me smashing that sub button depended on your reaction to that spot and you fuckin nailed it. i now welcome you to my subscriptions.

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton!

[@destineebrown5989]

That was THE best reaction ever!! I still get major goosebumps and emotions overload every time I listen to it. Im like 99% sure that this song IS about Carrie because, along with lyrics, the title "Rule of Nines" is a measurement to calculate the burns on one's body

[@darwinwatterson4568]

wait... the new ep is also about burning to death. :o

[@amandag1337]

Best reaction yet 😄 This band is so aesthetically pleasing in so many ways. Can't wait for a full album!

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you! I cannot wait for this album!

[@FantasticDimensions]

The Beauty of Suffering - Live Vocal Bleach Bath Belcarra Blessed Be

[@FantasticDimensions]

Just a handful of Spiritbox recommendations!

[@TankTheTech]

Fantastic Dimensions Killer! I promise I will be doing one or two, if not all of these.

[@pedropessoa2246]

Belcarra PLEASE! It is so impressive

[@dropthehammer1360]

@@TankTheTech You need to do all!

[@jeffcunningham9868]

I've heard this song hundreds of times by now, and that breakdown at the end *still* gives me chills and the stink face.

[@christophermedina9862]

Watch the live take of her doing this song. Its incredible!! Shes so bad ass!!

[@mandysue1111]

I loved your reaction. Her voice is amazing and the band is on another level🖤

[@AscendedJustice]

LETS GO!!! Been waiting for this one!

[@TankTheTech]

This might be my favorite reaction I’ve done so far. Absolutely floored me.

[@horsteve9011]

one of the best reactions so far. i love how much you enjoy the music. the (your) smile is strong in this one

[@imdag12p]

Props for putting some Meshuggah in the background at the end

[@TankTheTech]

YEAH! Glad someone noticed it!

[@MrScarcejason911]

I see Spiritbox, I see reactor TRULY enjoying the experience. I subscribe!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton. LOVED IT!

[@floreaciprian9742]

"That is really Meshuggah like and I love it" Tank 20-Jul-2020 Wise words indeed

[@tommymcgrory9039]

Awesome reaction how did I miss these and still to see holly roller

[@elninorocksatx]

Hell yeah! Knew you would love this one. I’m sure you’re already planning on reacting to a lot more of their stuff, but I’m seeing a lot of people in the comments say to react to the live vocal performance of The Beauty of Suffering. I have to agree... when I watched that, I was totally blown away at her vocals. That video shows just how effortless it is for her. Great reaction, man!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks man! I’ll be sure to check out that video as well!

[@jinjerman4903]

I love how you put Otep in the beginning of this in th background..

[@LaganusWrex]

My favorite band. They are simply something else. The music is just from a different place.

[@WardenOfSouls]

thats such a sick bassline through the whole song. As a drummer im isntantly happy when bass and drums groove together like that

[@TankTheTech]

Same here. I played bass in a band, and then drums later in life and always appreciated bass/drum grooves like that. So good.

[@WardenOfSouls]

@@TankTheTech Haha awesome! i started with drums and stuck to it, although i also learned guitar and bass, but im a drummer for 20 years now

[@dmphax]

This is the song that "sold" me on Spiritbox. Love it!!!

[@micklaikrison2]

That was a cool reaction man, wow her scream is deep as hell pure awesome. Well done man another great reaction here 🤘🤘

[@chrisdenning8905]

Glad you enjoyed this one, it's a masterpiece.. Courtney's vocals are so good, that synth overlayed on top, with that bass line and the guitar work, amazing. Fun fact, Rule of Nines is the system used to assess burns victims

[@TankTheTech]

Someone else said that somewhere in the comments and I never knew that! Thanks for bringing it up because I meant to check it out and never did!

[@Dilly-Winkus]

Love Spiritbox! There aren't enough reactions to this band lol! I look forward to them. Check out these Spiritbox songs songs: "Belcarra" + "The Beauty of Suffering" (live one-take performance) + "Electric Cross"! They also have a trilogy of songs called "The Mara Effect" that they perform live in-studio at Silverside Sound that I would absolutely recommend! 3 songs + 1 interlude performed live (16 minutes). Totally worth it. 👍👍👍 Definitely check out more from this band + knock out a bunch of reactions, even if you release them slowly! The sooner you check them out, the sooner they are in your playlist lol. 👍

[@TankTheTech]

Exactly! Might dedicate an entire day filming reactions to their music just so I can start listening to them all the time. Haha. Thank you for the recommendations!

[@reality8o]

@@TankTheTech that sounds like the right thing to do! hahah

This is gonna be awesome!!!

[@TankTheTech]

LET’S GO!!!

[@edselrivera2085]

Dude you need to review Belcarra and the beuty of suffering Courtney Laplant live session

[@mikeandholly9856]

I absolutely love the EDM in the I guess back track?(I'm not musically inclined 😁) I noticed it on holly roller as well

[@Fireoncityy]

I appreciate how genuine this channel is 🤘🤘

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you!!

[@reality8o]

Oh damn dude, there you go! I'm glad you're back to Spiritbox and I'm even more glad about that you enjoyed that song! Sure, Holy Roller is freaking amazing and so good and heavy, I really love that song and Courtney's voice is unreal. Her screams are outstanding. But with their other songs showing how versatile the whole band and especially Courtney's voice is... oh my god! Spiritbox is something very special and they will explode even more. Just because everything they do is amazing and they really deserve. They are creating pure art. Check out their last single "Blessed Be", which came out before Holy Roller and after Rule of Nines! I would call Blessed Be their catchiest and most "generic structured" song (if you could say so), but everything just goes perfectly togehter with low tuned riffs in combination with Courtney's beautiful voice. Definitely one of my favorites! Honestly, you can't go wrong with ANY of their songs, every single song is unique and has something special about itself. That's one of many reasons why I love Spiritbox. Because they create what they want. After leaving iwrestledabearonce, Courtney and/or Mike said, that Spiritbox is their own project and they can finally do what they want to do without focusing on one single genre or style of music. And they really show how versatile they are in producing music without ever losing their special spice. Also definitely check out Courtney's vocal live performance one take videos, she's so damn good! Welcome to Spiritbox my friend!

[@TankTheTech]

Definitely LOVING Spiritbox so far, and I'll do "Blessed Be" very soon as tons of people have told me to check it out. Thanks for all of that fantastic input. Much appreciated!

[@juliettemcgee9055]

Your reaction is funny and your headbanging is fire! Agreed with Meshuggah-like sounding! That VGHC drape on the back really got my attention 👀

[@VykoSss84]

This is like me discovering IN FLames in the day .... LOVE this SO DAMN MUCH !!!

[@davidhines68]

Thank you for loving the ending. A lot of reviewers have just gone "huh." The ending was the best part.

[@revredbeard3289]

When the kick drum sounds amazing on my tiny phone speakers you know they did a great job recording/mixing this song.

[@anillegibletombstone]

Mind-blowing ending to this fantastic song all around. Love her singing but that growl is chills every time. Give it ten, fifty more listens and it only gets better. Let's not forget how good the song is lyrically too.

[@heyskipj]

Love that photo on your shirt. Classic!

[@DylanOvertimeWinner]

They did a live vocal video for this song. Be cool to see you react to that cause it’s insane! Sounds even better live.

[@TankTheTech]

I’ve heard! I’ll be checking it out for sure! Thanks man!

[@DylanOvertimeWinner]

TankTheTech Also “Red Handed Denial - Collector”. Canadian band that just rips.

[@YungJackTorrance6]

This band is so good . Can't wait for the album

[@stevenstrazzullo]

Her vocals would work so well in dark pop omg

[@ulver1187]

Finally someone who felt the same as my first listen. That ending went straight to the spine

[@westurner6529]

I had the exact same reaction. What a beautiful and powerful written song, That takes you on a deep emotional melody and then flips you to a brutal ending. You could feel the intent without even reading the lyrics.

[@ElliWoelfin]

I really like how you talk about the music. It's a very low bar, but hearing someone knowledgeable actually give informed views is great. I'd like to recommend a band that is disappointingly not very known, Blind Ivy and the song Embryo Hatred. I'd love to hear your opinion on them.

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you so much. That means a ton and I'll try to keep that up. Haven't heard of that band so I'll throw it on the list of stuff to check out!

[@patfix]

I agree, great reaction Mr. Tank. :-) That's why I like Chase Carneson as well - not to steer people away from this channel but it might be cool if you like a more in-depth comments.

[@xtrasmartx2557]

Little did we all know.... :) Brutal stuff, indeed. Keep it up Tank.

[@notdynomonkey]

Ok, it was so great to finally hear someone else say "Meshuggah"ish to them. You MUST do "Belcarra"!! AWESOME reaction!

[@chrisbotha8085]

The Mara effect studio performance is a must, its their best work in my opinion.

[@chadcortus2006]

She did an excellent job when she sang for Iwrestledabearonce as well on their later albums

[@renchi6989]

Many many phenomenon bands around the world today.

[@henryruizph.d7161]

Mike’s got a lot of that Djent in him; if you see what I’m saying…One of the best Djent Guitarists on the planet…The white noise effects Layered with the chanting creates very Sonic ethereal whirlwinds of sound…I must always remind myself Spiritbox is a group consisting of 4 members…All key & of equal value making Spiritbox…

[@RalphBellairs]

Aww! Tank, you didn't give me the rundown on that sick bass! Great video though, as always. Love your enthusiasm!

[@TankTheTech]

This was my 2nd video ever, I think, and hadn’t found my groove yet and how I was gonna break down gear. Haha. Sorry about that!

[@RalphBellairs]

@@TankTheTech No worries, man. I just found it on the "Constance" video. I so want that Dingwall bass...then I just need to learn how to play!

[@Sithspit_Rogue]

See, this is why I rewatch reactions...I just caught "Battle Ready" in the background just before the video started....nice choice! \m/ \m/

[@bobbyc.6278]

Great reaction. Song really is phenomenal, checks a lot of boxes for me. Blessed Be next.

[@TankTheTech]

Oh I've got "Blessed Be" ready to go for a reaction very soon! Thank you!

[@vasiliymarusin4379]

This song is such a banger! There are two moments in the video that give me T-Rex-sized goosebumps: 1) that transition from the first chorus to a mellow start of the second verse; 2) the short nod she makes in a complete silence just before the end.

[@ScCrash26]

Literally every song is amazing by Spiritbox... Do them all, lol. Cheers!

[@TankTheTech]

I'll probably end up doing em all for sure. Haha

[@HauntingHistory]

I noticed the bears piece on the wall... ya got a sub. lol Bear Down!

[@mdntctyvlcn]

I heard that Spiritbox love filming with horror tropes. "Holy Roller" was _Midsommar._ "Rule of Nines" was _Carrie._ I heard that "Bleach Bath" is about Ted Bundy. Nevertheless, anything Spiritbox does turns to gold. If you want more of Courtney's gorgeous melodic side, I STRONGLY recommend "Perennial," "Trust Fall," and "Everything's Eventual." Cheers.

[@TankTheTech]

That's super insteresting. Totally see the Midsommar and Carrie, and I haven't seen Bleach Bath but I'll keep that in mind for when I do!

[@Iamsmallfry]

Also, react to the one take of her laying down this vocal track. Hilarious and wonderful.

[@blakegaftunik9120]

Blessed be next🙂. Great reaction!

THIS IS MY BEST DISCOVERY LIKE IN A DECADE !!!! KORN IN FLAMES I TRUST AND NOW WE GOT Spiritbox !!! BLES U all METAL FANS !!! \m/

[@naomiphillips4488]

"I'm wondering if this gonna be a more mellow song or if it's gonna get heavy." That's what Courtney wants you to think that she's all mellow and gentle with the vocals, then, out of nowhere, a sledgehammer gets thrown at you at the end... and you're left wondering 'Where the f*** did that come from 😍😰?!' Never would have expected that nasty, filthy breakdown at the end. She has freaking God tier vocals. Her range and control, just phenomenal.

[@TankTheTech]

Everything about this song and video was fantastic, in my opinion! Love their sound!

[@carpathianpsychonaut]

Wonderful and obviously genuine reaction. I know fans bang on about bands they love but it seems you're starting to see why we're going a bit nuts for Spiritbox. I'd go for Belcarra, Electric Cross & Bleach Bath and also second the comments below re the session Mara Effect live at Silverside - that's an epic and one of my personal favourites of theirs still. Whatever you do next - enjoy!

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you so much! I'm trying to keep these 100% genuine and real reactions and I'm glad it's noticeable! Thanks for the other suggestions. I love this band so far so I'll have to check it out!

[@benjamin4l921]

courtney has such a good voice! great reaction! btw. just discovered your channel because you did a reaction for hypa hypa. if you want to check out some more german bands give burning down alazka (they changed their name to alazka but i like the older stuff way more), unprocessed, annisokay, any given day or time the valuator a listen!

Their videos for Bleach Bath, Blessed Be, and Belcarra are awesome! The Mara Effect live at Silverside Sound Studio, besides being awesome as well, also shows the whole band playing together.

A lot of people have recommended those as well, so I'll be doing some or all of them very soon! Thanks!

belcarra and bleach bath are like some of my tops by them. they are just so good. not a bad song from them ever.

[@Danny_chew]

When you ask if this song is going to get heavy: *my evil grin appears*

[@theseanie9958]

I still think Belcarra is their best song. Would be a good one to check out. maybe her live vocal recording they did on their youtube

[@TheGregh1977]

If you like them you need to go down the jinjer rabbit hole. Start with Pisces live studio. Then perennial live at wacken

You mean Jinjer? Or does Spiritbox have a song called "Perennial" too?

[@nunziiii1872]

Spiritbox ! I'm now realizing that both bands have the same song name

[@Minotaur-ey2lg]

I think they sound more like Teserract, at least musically, but to each his own.

[@jinjerjunkie]

I see you already have pending video for Pisces by Jinjer, can't wait for that. You for sure need to react to more Spiritbox, I would recommend "Blessed Be" but really they do not have any bad songs. Another great band I would recommend is Monochromatic Black and their song "Phosphenes".

[@TankTheTech]

Killer! Will definitely look into them. And "Blessed Be" is another one I'll be reacting to very soon. A lot of other people have been commenting about that one as well, so I feel like I can't pass that one up.

[@PaleBastard_Art]

They legit have not put out a bad song.

[@TankTheTech]

I've only heard 2 so far, but I'd have to agree based on what I've heard. Haha
