The Pretty Reckless - Take Me Down I Singer Reacts I

[@timhmetal3499]

Cindy Lou Who.....is one of the best female singers in rock and metal. Seen TPR several times and never disappoint.

[@jasonmepham6757]

Taylor is such an underrated singer. Love her voice which is sultry and as seductive as it gets!

[@zackkullis5555]

Taylor is an absolute badass. She doesn’t get the hype she deserves. If you haven’t listened to “witches burn”, It’s FIRE (pun intended) The acoustic version of “Going to Hell” is marvelous ❤

[@Greenchileaddict]

Be careful listening to that song. A bat might randomly appear and attach itself to your leg. 🦇 🤘

[@christopherscottdempwolf5759]

While The Devil Went Down to Georgia is the song you were thinking about, *this* song is based on the story of blues guitarist Robert Johnson who legend says sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads in Clarksdale MS in exchange for musical talent. Johnson wrote a song called Cross Road Blues about it. Cream / Eric Clapton wrote the song Crossroads about it back in the 60's. So when you asked if it was a cover, it's not, but the *story* has been around in rock and blues lore since the 1920's.

[@davidward9737]

@@christopherscottdempwolf5759 even did a movie in 1986 called "Crossroads" based off Robert Johnson's story

[@bearwrex9806]

Didn't they make a movie inspired by this story too? With Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai?

[@bearwrex9806]

@@davidward9737 Oops, sorry, I didn't see your comment before I put my comment in. Great movie, though.

[@SixFootTurkey_]

I love when The Pretty Reckless lean into their blues rock side ❤

[@squireman123]

Husky is a good word to describe Taylor's voice. Her natural rasp adds a ton of flavor to TPR songs. I didn't even know their music, honestly, until The Warning (who I'm a huge fan of) opened for them and Halestorm on a tour in 2022. I became an instant fan. Fun reaction!

[@josephoconnell9052]

I think sultry is the word you’re looking for to describe her voice, especially in this song. Guitar riff at the beginning has a Queens of the Stone Age vibe.👍🏻🤘⚡️

[@davidward9737]

Cindy Lou Who grew up and became a rockstar. Thank you Mr. Grinch Meet at the crossroads and seal the deal with a kiss, talking about selling your soul. "Crossroads" 1986 great movie

[@franzwohlgemuth2002]

Seen them live more than once. Phenomenal shows!!!

[@joeturner1181]

Great reaction! This is one of my favorite TPR songs; I really like Taylor's vocals, especially when she brings in the rasp/growl - it's just the right amount. Check out some of her unplugged/acoustic work to really hear how good her voice is.

[@Thel4st0ne_]

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

[@shawncooley5194]

Thanks for another excellent reaction. T’s said many times it’s just a song, and she didn’t actually make a deal with the devil. I’m not convinced 😈🤘

[@MaxDorsey666]

She is a total hottie, talented, and is really good at sorta gypsy/glam goth rock chick kinda vibes

[@bearwrex9806]

When she pushes the chorus her voice gets a little smokey, I love that.

[@PaulSink]

Loved Taylors music for years. Missed seeing her Live in 2022 on the Halestorm tour along with TheWarning because she had covid .

[@joelpinckney9782]

Big fan of TPR. I discovered them when they opened for Soundgarden on the latter's last-ever show (5/17/2017). Their song "Oh My God" kicks your ass in double-time, but also slows down enough to make you realize you're dizzy and bleeding.

[@toddmueller8948]

Saw them live a couple years ago. GREAT stage show. New album is in the works. They're currently supporting AC/DC, but I really want a TPR tour in 2025.

[@j1974f]

Awesome tune! Great reaction!

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

I went through a Pretty Reckless phase for a while last year. I might wanna go back to that now.

[@YonkoLalev]

I remember that song, when exploded on MTV Rocks, really great impression.

[@davidhook469]

Because everyone loves this song it’s such a catchy tune

[@davidhook469]

Crossroads Ralph Macchio against Steve Vai

[@christophermollan1684]

Incredible artist...Incredible reaction!!!!!!!

[@simply11believelane47]

I enjoy their music

[@jamricsloe]

Take me down to the Paradice city where the grass is green, and the girls are pretty is what hit me...

[@bearwrex9806]

It definitely has a Southern Rock feel where it bridges the gap between country and rock.

[@garybrenner2801]

This song sounded familiar to me too, I also thought this was a cover. Great song & great reaction!

[@karkosgiehex]

To borrow a line from a game from the time this album came out, We here at the Torgue corporation believe that this is FUCKING AWESOME.

[@marcokrupke4543]

I've seen The Pretty Reckless live with AC/DC in Hannover, Germany, this year. Taylor set the stage on fire.

[@brianc3659]

I’m hearing a little “Born This Way” Gaga melody in this, especially the a cappella performance. Love TPR, more please!

[@EricSavoie-dm9sw]

In the freeze frame you had, she has the Debby Harry from Blondie look!

[@Saje3D]

Maybe it’s just the way my brain works, but this is such an obvious metaphor for signing with a record label. I mean, there’s a rant written by Courtney Love of Hole back in the 90s I immediately thought of when I heard this song. Because I doubt it’s gotten any better since then.

[@FunEcar]

Taylor Momsen could sing anything and I would probably like it. Just love her voice. I believe you think it has familiarity to it, because it has, IMO a real Rolling Stone vibe to it. One of my favorites of theirs. Been a fan of theirs for 10 years now. Saw them live during this tour.

[@michaelt4851]

Its has that... "c'mon let meeEEEEeeeeee entertain you" cover vibs

[@rickwelch8464]

Timeless. These folks don't get the shine they should..

[@ghostfacedkilla2849]

Oh fuck yes!!! More TPR please!!

[@bearwrex9806]

2:19 I totally get what you mean, I've heard these vocal melodies before but I can't place the exact songs I've heard them. I hear you, though.

[@allengray5748]

FREAKING AWESOME 🤟🏼🎸🎸🎤💥🔥 Been recommending this band to many reaction channels and no bights. ALSO the band DOROTHY and their song (for starters) WHAT'S COMING TO ME!!! Have you seen The Pretty Wreckless video HOUSE ON THE HILL,,,,, the black and white one????? One of Taylor's eye openers!! Great Job!! Be watching for more! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼🎄

[@Saje3D]

Yeah. Every time people complain about “music today,” those are my go to bands for rock fans. If you can’t find new music to suit, you just aren’t trying very hard.

[@allengray5748]

@Saje3D There are a couple bands and tons of technical players but not sure we will see another living legend for a while!? ☮️

[@meister1176]

I saw them this year in germany with ACDC

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

You're absolutely right about feeling Eerie about that song and I think I know what it is it's that they're using a lot of standard key words that would be rock type balance a stolen certain parts of other rock ballads and songs that were written and kindly used them a hook Napoleon to the song and quite a few of the Rhythm parts are from other songs I believe

[@ardillamente]

As others have said, the sound about the devil and fiddlin' was Devil Went Down to Georgia. I thought the song had a vibe very similar to Sympathy for the Devil.

[@tommo010]

This song always gives me 90s Sheryl Crow vibes, I think this might be where your familiarites come from.

[@Jalabhar_Xho]

The song about the fiddle is The devil went down to Georgia

[@thomasvlach4610]

This song is kinda familiar because it's kind of a sequel to Crossroads by Eric Clapton. Also it's kind of in in the veins of Can you Guess My Name and Devil Went to Georgia.

[@EverendeverGroup]

I think the term you were trying to find to describe her voice is "texture". It works perfectly for her.

[@LostHate]

One of my favorite TPR songs, I would've suggested a long time ago if I'd realized you haven't heard it yet. They have so many great songs still to go.

[@boxingfan0374]

She does a beautiful cover of one of audio slaves songs. It was a tribute to Chris Cornell. Listen to that one.

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

I believe there's some ingredients ingredients hair that could make when you get a band that can really put out some epic albums but all the ingredients for just not there yet

[@GS44691]

Lassie Kirk. Hey, each to their own with the music.

[@ncampbell315]

There’s a lot of influence from The Rolling Stones “sympathy for the devil” in the song. At least in the verses there is.

[@abrahamsanchez3944]

I like this

[@chrissandoval7675]

beaux gris gris, or velvet rush may be bands you might dig.

[@bradywess3345]

You should react to Winter by Disembodied Tyrant, its a deathcore cover of a classical Vivaldi song and one of the coolest things I have ever listened to.

[@rachelegilmore6734]

Listen to "My medicine" and "25"

[@vladwolf6500]

She's a bit like her late icon Chris Cornell))

[@kallebeier3944]

hi, please react to "catch your breath-mirror" great song, great voice, great message......love your videos...greatings from germany🎄🎄🎄

[@justitia257]

Very very nice

[@alvarodc1798]

React to her song Just tonight!!! It's AMAZING

[@allengray5748]

PART II 😁 Charlie Daniels Band!!! THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA!!! Not hearing the Country vibe but I'm approaching Old,,, Country was very different from 1940's - 80's! ☮️☯️

Its jenny from the show gossip girl

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

I would say maybe gig and give another sample of what her and her band have recorded it might help but I think we could use another sample I'm curious Magic Woman

[@kaceylinne344]

[@brianboye8025]

Please do Florence Welch in Florence and the Machine songs.

[@jamesgreer9366]

Its got a rolling stones feel to it, may be why it sounds a bit familiar...

[@rdombek]

Have you reacted to The Warning from Monterrey Mexico? If you like this, The Warning will blow your mind ⚡️🤘

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

I think I know what the issue is she's great she's a good singer I can see that but I think she needs a band that can truly remember she can truly work with and go back and forth with with their creativity what's a good quality Studio engineer that's willing to work with the band and the band's going to work with them

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Song sound very similar to Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know chorus.

[@Falconer1128]

The singer is Taylor Momsen.. AKA Cindy Lou Hoo from the Jim Carey Grinch movie! Love her voice and this tune!

[@scallen3841]

And Jenny from the show gossip girl

[@gmont1272]

Remember seeing an article about Taylor saying how much of an insufferable diva she is. She has rules posted on the Wall of what you're not allowed to do around her or to her the guy giving the interview say she's fired people for simply looking at her or asking her a question

[@valdtube2081]

you need react Avenged sevenfold I won't see you tonight PT. 1 live in Ventura, and you can find high note vocal M. Shadow

[@MetalDrew]

New Landmvks just dropped if you haven’t heard anything from them I suggest you listen to their new song Sulfur

[@hmohns7035]

Umm I think maybe her "Sleepy eye look" might be an homage to Blondie but I may be wrong :) Peace and Love from Canada eh :) sorry :)

[@wpotter6929]

The song does feel familiar, sounds like it could be a Rolling Stones song

[@Thel4st0ne_]

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

[@MrSizlac]

Taylor likes to take a lot of inspirations from other bands that she likes

[@darksparda07]

Next Avenged Sevenfold - M.I.A

[@bearwrex9806]

Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band?

[@TreysLosingItRapidly]

Yeah, there are a few songs by them that, to me, sound like other (iconic rock) songs. Hey, borrow a riff, I don't care 😂😎

[@MikeBarnett1776]

As someone else mentioned, this is Taylor's R&B interpretation of the Robert Johnson legend... with the usual Taylor twists. It's a fantastic song.

[@bearwrex9806]

She has really pretty teeth. Hold on, let me say that out loud, I want to see if it sounds as creepy as it looks in text. xD If you're gonna be a creep, be a self-aware creep. LMFAO

[@MichaelBonneau-q2f]

Sounds a little like a Sheryl Crow song

[@MekemeMe-b4l]

💐💌🎄🎇🎉😊✌

[@markhayes9004]

Hey Ray, I hope you are having a wonderful day! Here is a fun fact for you, Taylor Momsen is a fan of Band Maid, and they love her too. She actually went out of her way at the Aftershock Festival in 2022 to meet and talk with Band Maid. It happened at nearly the same time The Warning went to meet Band Maid in person at the same festival. Please take care and have an awesome week.

[@metal0324]

hey hi ! Have you planned to react to Landmvrks' incredible new song named SULFUR/ SOMBRE 16? Thanks for all

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

I would also say that the singer does have talent she needs to find a better venue I think than this this song is this song is not yet she's purring I guess you'd say please an eye catcher but that's just not enough

[@tripsixx5802]

My favorite by Taylor! Keeping the legend of Robert Johnson and his deal with the devil at the crossroads alive for a new generation!😈

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

I think it's strictly a studio constructed song baseball mask consumption by the music industry

[@stonecold6385]

Her voice is sultry

[@williamperreira5398]

Itsthe devil came to Georgia....now you should listen to the pretty reckless death by rock n roll

[@Ezeriasz]

am i the only one who feels sympathy for the devil vibes from this song? isnt that even same chord progression?

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

The first part of the chorus reminded me of Hannah Montana - Pumpin'up the party.

[@VeljkoNikolic-is5px]

You insult GREAT Taylor Momsen when you speak about Billy Eilish. Best band before COVID!!!

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

She's taking from the Leadbelly song that was made famous by Eric Clapton Crossroads OSHA stealing parts of Charlie Daniels Band devil came down to Georgia and I would also say she stealing for this song is just be a Simple Man there's a lot of hooks that are being taken from other songs
