**Cough**

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

*BLEGH*

[@fiddlergreen74]

I have never been this early to one of your reactions and it's awesome to be this early

[@matthenazgul5454]

Please react to As lions and lambs hate speech

[@canyoncarver7074]

I know you guys have done spirit Box holy roller but I think you would get a better look at the band if you Check out the song Constance from them There is no screaming in the song it is mainly a story And it is very strong check it out💯🤙

[@guitargamster955]

I love your guys reactions, and especially your biblical knowledge and perspective. I would suggest the song "A God Without A Face" by Dayseeker, keep up the great work!

[@KingCrusoe]

"Another breakdown?" Lmao this song is literally a 4 minute breakdown.

[@doomdoesdokkan6720]

They are Christian but they don't label themselves as a Christian band but if you listen to the song basic hate that will tell you they are Christian and they aren't afraid to put it in music

[@matthenazgul5454]

That's cool to know🤘🤘🤘

[@TheRealDizzle]

For real? I never thought they were Christian, I always did noticed they never cuss which I love by they play stuff this heavy without using vulgar language

[@matthewhamel778]

I can confirm that they're Christian, my cousin lives with them I've met Cody, Briton, and Seth on multiple occasions

[@Shy_Hulud]

Yeah hell, I am what you'd called and agnostic atheist and I respect the hell out of that song.

[@RealGeneralShadow]

Yea a lot of people don't realize that. I'm from Ocala where they're from and I know Cody, he moved to TN recently but when he still lived here he did worship at my church up until the band made it big, and he still would do worship there whenever they weren't out on tour. They're all pretty solid in their faith

[@adamtopher3633]

"strats are like a 'no-no' in metal music" Jim Root: .

[@metallifan561991]

I love strats, it's definitely not the norm, but some big names do use them, Jim probably being the biggest one. I think he also has a custom Tele as well

[@tuck234]

@@metallifan561991 Lets not forget Kirk Hammett on the And Justice For All album. IIRC it was a mexican strat in sky or baby blue

[@RayRayJr.]

I love it when Pastor Rob says "Nasty". You know it's a good riff when he says that.

[@roberthoughton7127]

🤣

[@tylerperry4318]

“Another breakdown?” This is Wage War in a quote and it’s not a bad thing. Songs by them you should also checkout: Deadweight, Indestructible, Low, and Stitch just to name a few.

[@Kwhopperfan]

This song was very deep and hit home with me, at the time, despite offering forgiveness and seeking repair, she ultimately chose to leave and live a life outside of what I was offering and what God wanted for her life. She was my everything but thankfully with God’s help I’m still rebuilding to this day.

[@pedrofreitas44]

First of all, good to know that you're putting yourself togheter. Keep on! I've never lived this king os situation, but I wonder if people who did and are christians, question God of why this happened. I mean, in the beggining I think that you thought that she was a God's gift to you and in the end, turned out that she wasn't. It must be so confusing.

[@MySkilletfan]

Bro just because YOU believe that was your god's plan does not mean everyone has to take your word for it. You do not own her and she is free to make her own choices. People fall out of love, move on. Yall all preach humbleness and blah blah but get real pissy when things don't go your way. Learn to respect them as your equal and not a peice of meat to own and maybe one will put up with you. You sound like a man who would just tell them to "Endure". If they are supposed to endure whatever, so can you big man..

[@Mayfired]

Would love if you guys reacted to Memphis May Fire! "The Sinner" or "No Ordinary Love"

[@TeddyCat2007]

And also Wanting More

[@benjaminthawmte3930]

They slept on "Memphis may fire" for too damn long 😂😂

[@joelward8619]

The Sinner for sure!

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

Nah, that's wingecore

[@TylerGGTV]

I SECOND THIS! DO THIS!!! PLEASE!

[@Asstazztic]

This is probably my favorite BLEGH in a song so it makes me really happy that you enjoyed it Pastor Rob! 😁

[@coltonhaubner2865]

Producer: how many breakdowns you want Wage war: yes

[@charlottehellawell9182]

Yess!! Wage war is fire 🔥 who I am, low and alive are so good. Pretty much anything by them is good lol

[@BigBev121]

Everything except the latest album 😝😅

[@KevinQ25]

@@BigBev121 Yeah their first two albums were good, but yeh it’s been downhill since

[@jarrodmoran5308]

I feel like a better song to review would have been Basic Hate.

[@ruskininja6168]

@@jarrodmoran5308 Yeah, they picked the most cliche breakup song from their discography to review. Blueprints or Twenty One would have made good options as well.

[@cracyzero666rat]

The part where he's clearing his throat is actually part of the song. I like the way they break down the song, it's like advice also

[@johnlibbey5431]

The band did an AMA on reddit where someone asked where that bit came from. Apparently Briton was getting fed up with not being able to record a good "Blech" so it was a frustration scream mixed in there~

[@twentyfourtythree1190]

the cough was an outtake where he coughed when he was supposed to "blegh" That's why it changes and sounds unmixed.

[@twentyfourtythree1190]

@@johnlibbey5431 it was just a cough, mate

[@KILLIAN87]

Oh, Sleeper - The Finisher YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SONG! Don’t sleep on this one.

In the wake of pigs or children of fire would be great

[@twentyfourtythree1190]

Hush Yael >>>>

[@SirLukHipolito]

I dont even know this band/song but you got my upvote for the pun

[@MasonFries]

I love how Pastor Rob has slowly been growing to love the heavier bits of songs over the coarse of all these reactions.

[@timdarnell7819]

You have got to check out "Stitch" by Wage War. It's awesome, heavy, and has some sweet breakdowns.

[@tylerperry4318]

Stitch, Low, and Deadweight are all just 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@elitefirebox6724]

If you guys like this kind of Metalcore, you guys would really enjoy the Metalcore band Architects! Every song of theirs is good. Although I suggest a reaction to their song Gravedigger

[@TheAnklam]

Josh Middleton is the man. Architects and Sylosis are both extremely badass.

[@jeremygibson8833]

React to Aftermath by the Ghost Inside! Also Mercy by the Ghost Inside is really good with a sick breakdown!

[@johnb8308]

I love how Rob seems more interested in the heavier stuff than his son. 🤣

[@ChildofBodom918]

I need you guys to react to "All Consuming Fire" by War of Ages. They are an amazing Christian metalcore band. I need it!

[@Warrenturner77]

"Ooooo this is gonna get nasty...I call feel it" Same Pastor Rob...Same.....

[@ckokomo808]

I love your videos! It’s been awhile but really love your perspective and goal of getting people to think about music and how it applies to their lives. That’s something that’s important to me and love hearing you both talk about it. Thanks for all you’re doing. Peace. Chris

[@DarkShadow1953]

Jim Root from Slipknot uses Stratocasters, Telecasters, And Jazzmasters. They are his signatures from Fender. 🤘

[@jeffcrabby4831]

Pastor Rob you being open to music like this is awesome. Very open minded. Too many to judge before understanding why we love this music.

[@snakegoddess4696]

I love you guys and how friendly and kind you are; I did not know what to expect stumbling upon this channel as a metalhead chick but you guys truly warmed my heart and restored my faith in humanity lol. I wish all people would just take a step outside of the box and simply take a fair listen to some of these songs!

Yes, more of this band please. Stitch, dont let me fade away, alive, prison, etc. Love your reactions and your analysis

Agreed! Strife, In Waves or The Sin and the Sentence

[@FREEZER0413]

This was so cool to watch, people being open to all art and music.

This is the most 4th wall break BLEGH ever haha I love his nod at making fun of the trope

[@laurensflierman4423]

Words Darker Than Their Wings - Alter Bridge live in Royal Albert Hall! The song is a conversation between the singer an the guitarist about finding faith and finding God. The song itself is amazing and it played with a live orchestra!

Wage War!! One of my favorite bands

[@enjay12]

Pure Joy is Pastor Rob @2:24

[@Hatchet-yw5px]

respect.. this was an awesome song. Never hear them before.

[@forest9872]

Loving your takes on music as usual! My friends aren’t the type to sit down and talk about music meaning like I would want them to so it’s fun to see what different people have to say, especially someone with some strong Christian knowledge. I’d like to hear your take on Metallica’s Fade to Black as it’s one of their more depressing less thrash early songs and my favorite song of all time. Hearing your take on Grand Canyon by Puscifer would be interesting too with its theme of peace through nature. Keep up the good word!

[@guitarcollector4958]

Always excited when Pastor Rob uploads a new video! :) Also may I suggest you react to some Avenged Sevenfold, songs like Buried Alive or Nightmare, or some more Killswitch Engage; songs like Rose of Sharyn, This is Absolution or I Am Broken Too?! I have a feeling like those are all songs you would enjoy and have a lot to talk about. God bless!

[@fabiozundel8507]

Love you guys❤

[@hybrid1444]

Thank you guys for reacting to this song! This is one of my favorites by Wage War because it is very relatable (my ex-wife cheated on my a bunch). This song and White Livered by Phineas really helped me deal with the pain of that experience and move forward, realizing it wasn't my fault

[@kristentuite7412]

I like your video. Will tune in again:) Love Wage War....you should interview the band members. Amazing young men.

[@djenty3975]

Would love to see y’all’s response to The Ocean The Grand Inquisitor, or anything by them on the Heliocentric or Anthropocentric albums. Would be a great chance to get into more theological ideas!

[@Ninja22.]

Real Christian’s shouldn’t have used the word of REGRET. Because Christian’s should need to move on in their lives, if there significant others was in the wrong. We need to forgive and forget regardless and to move on without the hate or anger. Have a blessed day!!! Thanks for uploading the video!!!

[@TraviiisT]

Definitely need to check out some of there newer stuff! Hurt, who I am, low, Johnny cash. so much meaning in there songs

[@delrioerik34]

I’ve been waiting for y’all to react to wage war and of course it’s my favorite song 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@kevinfitz1712]

Ya'll need to get more into progressive metal. More of Guages wheelhouse of music, I believe, since he likes Opeth. I think you guys would be blown away by these bands and songs: Between the Buried and Me - The Coma Machine The Ocean - The Origin of Species/The Origin of God The Contortionist - Flourish

[@jakobfel2]

Yes, also TesseracT's Concealing Fate suite!

[@Cthulhuguru]

Ocala is where A Day to Remember came from. Not a very big city, but it gave us two awesome bands.

[@hknutzen]

“Stitch” by Wage War is where it’s at. Check it out

[@BajaShouta]

Idk if someone before me has already said anything, but the strats are probably jackson 7 strings. Fender owns Jackson, and sometimes they put out specific models that look like strats but aren't classic strats. It's probably got a humbucker in it and whatnot

[@jakemiller1386]

Great video! It breaks my heart to hear you say you love metalcore yet you guys haven’t done a reaction to As I Lay Dying. Those guys are the best there is in metalcore! I recommend a couple songs from their new album: The Toll it Takes, or Torn Between. It’s some pretty heavy stuff when you know the background of Tim Lambesis’ jail time and the band’s reconciliation story.

[@TylerG60]

I'll be seeing them August 31st

[@MostlyJoshin]

Oh, man, OG Wage War slaps. This is definitely one of their content heavy songs, and I love how its broken down here. You guys should check out Architects, specifically their songs "Gone with the Wind" or "Memento Mori." Wage War is certainly... inspired by the Architects sound.

[@nobodie9996]

Niiice! I love a lot of Wage War's work. With how much you seem to like this song please check out "Gravity" or "Johnny Cash." Great songs and both have really good stripped versions. Great video, guys!
