I agree with Herman, I would buy an album of those three doing more of the same. Such a sick track.

[@mikeseadorf4952]

Yes 100 % on a cord in the video & more from them together!!🤘🤘

[@sampiter8056]

Everyone: the song is amazing! Li: the hair is perfect

[@TheKingoftheriff]

Covid revealing Herman as a pretty good youtuber and guitar talk-show host was quite a surprise. But a welcome one, for sure.

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

The song is an absolute banger!!! Alissa is such a great musician and vocalist and Nita such a great guitar player! The clean vocals of Alissa are so powerful!

[@Stuffmeister-qi2fs]

Ive been finding alot of metal like this lately, where a female vocalist does screaming and also some "angelic" vocals to go with it, its awesome

[@MrBiteme39]

Ginjer is freaking awesome too She can growl

[@mariazeredo6657]

@@MrBiteme39 jinjer*

[@jdm188]

Ankor, Deadlands, Future Palace, Infected Rain, Rage of light thank me later

[@InkcorperatedMusic]

I personally think they should start a band because the sound is there, the performance, and the over all the talent.

[@bergatrolle]

the cable should def. be pluged in, makes it more real if that makes sense. awsome song will need to check out more by these ladies.

[@V3x0r]

I would totally buy a full album of those 3. World class guitarist and stunning vocals all backed by a badass drum beat.

[@X_Chris23]

Seen Nita with The Iron Maidens, she was absolutely amazing! Rate her as a guitar player, good video Herman 👍🏻

[@thehunter7422]

Got recommended this vid a while ago and YESSS I would love if they formed their own band. They're freaking awesome. Alissas vocals I can't get enough of her combo of amazing cleans and growls/fry screams .

[@yvesduval8668]

Sould they start a band together ? 100% YES and maybe with Sophie Loyd on the second guitar. It would be really awesome. For the cable pluged into the guitar I think yes it should be : when I play without the cable I have not at all the same sound 😄

[@unluggylounge674]

ohhh hell yeah i would love to see that

[@michaelbell75]

That would be too much hotness for one band., The metal Gods would not allow it.

[@ymer2501]

aaahhhhhh we all know that we missed Alissa's vocal when she was with The Agonist...seems that the song really brought back The Agonist Alissa that we all known...

[@UweSandrisser]

It's a damn great, catchy song. And while I cannot provide more hair, I did not notice the missing cable until you mentioned it, Herman! ;-)

[@wet8529]

i started a couple months ago yt isnt helping much but eventually i wanna be like u herman and a goated shredder

[@ghostparty2062]

This song became an instant new favourite when I heard it 😆 would love more

[@jimthar17]

The dual scenes represent the two wolves within you. The white is the good wolf and the dark and evil makeup is the evil wolf. Which wolf you feed is what you become.

[@davepicard9256]

thats very great best masterpiece nita strauss and alissa white-gluz the wolf you feed single killer song I love 100/100 start new future my favorite next ladies collaboration a band heavy powerful trash death melodic metal. thank you nita strauss and alissa white-gluz let's go women powerful nita strauss greatest playing guitar solo and vocal alissa white-gluz the true death metal melodic forever 🤘🎸

[@TheMetalMag]

nita is amazing, she has her own band with her boyfriend so it's normal she has guests and so keeps the metal alive! I agree the cable makes it authentic

[@briankhall9963]

Great people. Met both Nita and Josh Villalta in Poughkeepsie, NY and saw them again in Asheville, NC. I'm so happy for their success. I went into Harbor Freight to buy something and heard "Dead Inside" playing in the store. I was OMG they made it!

[@talkswithdave]

I’ve been watching reactions to this video since the day after it was released. I check at least once per day for a new reaction. Today I got Herman Li. Fucking awesome man.

[@matthewgamble402]

I agree with you there, Herman on not having anything plugged into the guitars. Obviously, if anyone knows anything about music/video/film production we all know the cable is not necessary for the video. But it is necessary for one reason only. Because it's distracting from the main focus and message of the song/experience. Every single time I see this video (and I've seen it 50x or more), I get distracted by the no-plugin of the guitars. It's kind of like the old adage, "You know what the mark of a good sound guy is (in a live production, especially)? The fact that you don't notice he is even there." In a movie, you don't want the sound or other effects to detract from the experience and immersion into the story. You want the audience to be so involved in the story that they forget they are human beings sitting in chairs on Planet Earth. That's the ideal situation of an artistic presentation, IMO. But hey, these gals are super amazing and way better than I am as artists, so they can do whatever TF they want. Also IMO. :)

[@djonathandjo3625]

Now that you have mentionned it! I'll have to check if the guitar is always plugged in! Damn you Herman!

[@gelkins2]

Agree we need a whole album of these two ladies awesome! I miss Alissa's mixed vocals, she used to a lot more of this in The Agonist which I loved. We know she can do the distorted vocals but less know how good her clean vocals are. Yes guitar should be plugged in duh!

[@mht525]

Killer. Thanks for the upload Herman . Cable. 🤘✌️🏴🇦🇺

[@glensharpe5604]

Yes! Definitely and what would bring it to the next level would be calling in Jinjer’s Tatiana Shmayluk. And yes definitely plug in the cable. It ingeniously feel genious.

[@rjrohrbach4572]

absolutely it was one of the songs I have heard in a long time they blend great together

[@PittDaddy]

LOVE Alissa's cleans. Definitely need to start a band.

[@Divedown_25]

Stellar song!!! Loved your comments Herman! But no, they don’t need to plug in the guitar 🤠

[@rossmcfadyen8469]

But it gives the illusion that they’re playing the guitar and it makes more sense having the cable plugged in

[@stevelin2415]

I like it on 8:15 where vocal and guitar go along. It fits so well and really creative.

[@piepiece3661]

+1

[@UhYeahWhateverDude]

Herman always has the best comments.

[@MichaelODay313]

LOL, I usually notice a missing cable in videos, buy in all all honesty I've watched this from the day it cam out and didn't notice until you said something. I couldn't take my eyes off everything else happening in the video. Just shows what great entertainers they ALLare, again, like you said.

[@iDEATH]

I think almost everyone knows at this point that no one is actually playing or singing in these videos, so the cord thing doesn't _really_ matter, but it is weird once you notice it, so yeah, it'd be nice if it were plugged in. Just for appearances, y'know? I'd 100% be on board with them forming a band. They both kick all of the asses, and I'd be there for it! That they are both so beautiful is icing on the delicious metal cake, too.

[@RockwebEu]

The "Fan" part killed me :D :D :D Thanks!

[@fireball6094]

Yeah agree, of course the guitar cable should be plugged in, but you also shouldn't pause a video in middle of a melody or solo. 🙈😬

[@micahlawton6919]

I’ve listened to this song so many times it’s just become apart of my brain😂 such a masterpiece from two of the best female musicians in the business, so much talent between these two and. I never thought they would do a collab yet alone something sooooo friggin good! Also…I love it when you do random videos like this from tour, you/dragon force got me into metal when I was 15, through the fire and flames blew my mind as a kid and I went from strumming rock songs to going “I want to do that!!!! Those guys are so cool!” Still can’t do that but hey I’m working on it😂 keep being the awesome human being snd god of the guitar world that you are Herman, truly a legend 🤘

[@drockbrewer4326]

They need to do an album i agree

[@Sybex82]

Nice to see it indeed 🤘🏾

[@KaiMarcad]

1:16 If someone thinks Nita went to pop with Demi, check out Demi's latest stuff, for example "Eat Me" (video here in YT).

[@janihaavisto79]

Should they do album, YES absolutely. About that guitar cable, Nita doesn't need that. 😂 As long as they show how those solos were played it's okay to me.

[@brucecook502]

This was great, they definitely should:-)

[@drockbrewer4326]

#1 you are amazing!!!..either makes you want to pick up a guitar or never play..lol..that's how good you are..Nita is amazing both are great..song is amazing

[@enuxs]

Nita has the new invisible Shure wireless system. 😉 Everything here is great! 🤘 👍

[@johncallison4745]

LOL also Herman you keep your cords, I think it is safe to say you are not a poser that cracked me up it is so cool to see so many down down to earth icons like you!

[@Ultra-Collector]

🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤 That bridge and chorus is really rad! I Absolutely loved the guitar during the bridge,pre chorus!

[@enriquesoto6534]

Absolutely! New band, 100% original material!🙏🏿

[@Reverands]

Support any guitar player in any genre. They bring in new fans and they will find their way in the end

[@Dibulok]

Herman, you're the man!

[@garymilner4025]

Nita and Alissa rock totally❤

[@zane213what9]

Even if it was 1 album I would be cool with that I can't stop listening to the wolf you feed really good song easily top 5 this year

[@satuhamalainen8903]

Absolutely. I like her singing cleans too!

[@sinocte]

Any chance we get for some clean vocals from Alissa, I'm 100% in favor. She's got incredible pipes. Would love to see them do a whole album together.

[@SkrymNV]

Hell yeah! Is this even a question? The Wolf you Feed is amazing🤘🏻

[@sousaolivia9614]

when heard this song, was thinking new released song from Arch Enemy !!! but really waiting for a new one

[@MapleNachiman]

Plug it in! I'm definitely going to look up some of these ladies' music!

[@TheXeroRez]

To be honest... I wasn't even paying attention to where the cable is because I was watching her hands xD and NOW I can't un-see it.. more than likely, most people don't look for/at that, so it won't ever bother the majority of viewers of the music video. On the other hand, there are professionals and regular guitar players, as well as a select group of people that will see that and have an issue, but it's probably left out for freedom of movement in the video and less to worry about for filming. Mostly not going to cause a problem, but now I can't un-see it, so thanks for that O.O

[@robertmartin8233]

As a fan of Dragonforce and Arch Enemy, and having seen Arch Enemy live a few months ago, I would love to see Alyssa guest on a Dragonforce soni.

[@jjh727]

They did amazing job. Sounds amazing, look amazing. Has a good old school sound and sounds really modern at the same time. 🤘🤘

[@jjh727]

Yes I agree they should have at least a wireless plugged in

[@anthonykent00]

Cool. We need more metal in the world. Guitar should definitely be plugged in and played, just like the vocals should be.

[@raybaby]

Definitely. Please give them feedback that they should. Love The Wolf You Feed and there can be some more KA masterpieces with them as a team.

[@larrycallaway2987]

I missed it until you mentioned it Herman and I would agree that this was the video director's fault, But yeah. Plug the cable in! That being said, Killer tune and video! Nita nailed it

[@joestanhouse4264]

yes they should do more songs together that would be great for sure , i would buy their stuff for sure

[@Jorge-Grullon]

I think Nita is being doing great lately, some kind of collabs album will be cool. Aaand yeah, cable always plugged in and a 4x12 hanging around....

[@kevliao]

I care more about whether they're actually playing the right notes than whether the cord is plugged in, but I'm not a poser!

[@jaymze122]

absolutely should be plugged in

[@Nnang82]

They are huge !

[@tvbnine793]

I'm a Door Dasher and I play this song everyday while delivering people's orders. It's seriously helped me with my anger issues and mental health, with Nita's brilliant guitar playing, Alissa screaming like a demon to singing like an angel without breaking a sweat, and its lyrics reflecting the Cherokee proverb of there being two wolves inside you- one representing all things bad and the other all things good. Which one wins? You guess. Such a killer tune and I can't wait to see what these two queens do next

[@s.k.sangma4073]

So Very Much Sir

[@playgamescarlos]

Hi! Good video you uploaded today. For me, I voted yes to plugged core cable to Guitar🔌🎸 And music video from Nita Strauss featuring Alissa White-Gluz is amazing!

[@PooNinja]

Leather pant makers are excited about this possibility.

[@scottking7260]

Yes, plug in the damn guitars!!! That's my biggest pet peeve with videos. Also, you're right - more hair please!

[@stuartchapman7934]

Yes Indeed, Top Work Herman!!! 👍👍💯

[@Blackjacks_TavernBAF]

Def needs more cable! 😂 awesome track to be sure🤙

[@davidelmquist8670]

They would be a lethal duo! Hello fr Gothenburg, by the way check out In flames,Meet your maker! for some Gothenburg sound!

[@russellmootz7690]

Cable should definitely be plugged in for the music video.

[@nordicshredder4128]

HEL yeah herman, the song was not only a masterpiece but i totally agree with you on the hair thing to many bald/short hair bands or bands that go a little bit long but cut it or have it not long enough, we need more crazy hair in metal, and the cable in the music video might have looked a lot better but it is already fantastic as it is

[@p5gBand]

100% YES on the cable.

[@robbinst71]

We all knew Alissa was metal af, her melodic vocals sound 🤩

[@digitalpanther]

cord looks cooler but as long as the finger moves are accurate that is more important. IMO

[@DESTROYEUR666]

- 7:11 - YES PLZ plug the guitars 🎸 it not much; but I much prefer that way

[@sergiopaulino859]

Yes you´re right the cable has to be in the guitar .

[@rontman]

Plugged in all the way. Even for clips.

[@davidbeswick862]

I’m sorry I do agree about the cable being plugged in in a video clip it seems more realistic

[@OldCrowUSA]

They Really Should make a whole album!!!

[@chrislognshot]

the two of them need make album with you as other guitar player her boy friend as drummer. who fill in as the bass player

[@Sublight77]

They really nailed something here, great song

[@FranciscoJimenez-hn8hq]

me encanta nita strauss no veas como toca la guitarra la tia es una maquina no parece humana pararece un cybor o algo hasi que manera de tocar increible

[@roberttrudel2578]

NIta and Alissa is my dream collab come true. And the cord should have been plugged :)

[@sirkaimetall6007]

Sould they start a band together ? NO Alissa is doing an awesome job in Arch Enemy and that's how we like it 🤘

[@janihaavisto79]

Also Nita Strauss is an amazing looking woman. Alissa is gorgeous too, but if i had a choise I'd take Nita every time.

[@Napster404]

Best song of the year!

[@calebbrittain5004]

Yes they did a great job on the song and should make more songs…but should they make a band together idk about Alissa sounds better with Arch Enemy because people are used to her sounding heavier and not as poppy…… don’t get me wrong Nita does do a sick job on the guitar 🎸

[@pile63]

Yes, please plug in the cable in to the guitar......😎

[@thehouseofronin9209]

Hell yeah!

[@brandonwoods9930]

Yes

[@ialrakis5173]

Can’t agree more with not staying into the pre-defined boxes. Everyone needs challenges and you can ’t have them by staying into your comfortzone

[@mikeh6286]

Thanks! That was cool!

[@guybrushthreepwood1519]

We all know MVs aren't live, but i do agree, suspension of disbelief is a thing. So it doesn't really matter, but i do like to see amps being lit up and guitars plugged in Also, I feel hard done by by all the hair in the air moving fair, you know? I would if I could, but biology blessed me with a shiny dome up top :P

Yes!
