The Weeknd - Call Out My Name (REACTION!!!)

[@OniOfTheWestGate]

The "I almost cut a piece of myself" line is literal. Selena Gomez needed a Kidney or Liver or something and he considered being organ donor for her or something like that.

[@LostInVegas]

Whaaaaat? That's wild!

[@dustinwhitenight2510]

Feels bad man

[@TheEastsideDON]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ranSmIaCorWEl6M

[@russreeps1373]

Pretty sure it was a Kidney but he didn't match as a donor or something like that.

[@amberfuentes1003]

It was a kidney. I don't know if he was a match or not. But from what I've read, sounds like Selena denied his help, whether he was a donor or not.

[@brandon4690]

03:15...Ryan hit that note though lol

[@avonbarksdale91]

BrAnDoN I was scrolling down this comment as soon as he hit it haha

[@brandon4690]

avonbarksdale91 Lol 😂 im glad someone else noticed!

[@tonightwehunt9667]

Reaction on Ryan singing next

[@Thefire591]

yeah, in falsetto though :P

[@KratosIsSick]

Weeknd has melancholy vibes like no other. Gated reverb? Love to play Weeknd at home. Loud. The quality of vocals is unreal.

[@ludvigtheholyblade259]

Kratos isFunny idno man, Krayzie Bone for me has to be the most melancholy lol. 'Walking in the Rain', 'Can't Get No Better', 'Drama', 'Live My Life/Wreckless', 'Murda Mo' and 'Mo Murder (Mo Thugs)'. There's so many but ya Wknds got it too fosho.

[@stuarttaft6029]

I've heard The Weeknd's name but never heard his music. And that's a damn shame, because MAN, can he sing! I think what he's saying has a universality to it as well, because most everyone has gone through something like this before, whether they would be able to express it or not. Needless to say, thanks to George and Ryan, I will be checking out more of The Weeknd's material. #freethinkers I'd like to hear you react to Lingus by Snarky Puppy. I'm like 97.347% sure you'll really dig it.

[@spainbarcarealmadrid]

Stuart Taft try listening to the Trilogy album which is a compilation of his three mixtapes, which are widely regarded as his best work. Its grimier and rawer than his radio hits (not to take away from his hits, they're great in a different way)

[@stuarttaft6029]

Nicholas Lim ZJ Thanks for the suggestion! It's always hit or miss when you start listening to a new artist. I appreciate the guidance. Can't wait.

[@Alkanator]

Stuart Taft kissland is also great. I rate it right up there with trilogy imo.

[@stuarttaft6029]

Alkanator It is now on my list as well.

[@jaredbrown3731]

Yes please react to Lingus by snarky puppy!!

[@SlyBeastx]

Man... You guys got the most wholesome comment section on KZbin haha, keep doing your thing boys!

[@LostInVegas]

Let me get my thank you in before someone trolls you with some bullshit lol. Salute!

[@throneborn]

I've noticed this as well. Its literally the only place on the internet that has a comment section where people don't personally attack others because they disagree. They may not like some opinions, but its always respectful around here.

[@RandalWerschky]

I never noticed this, but you're right. :)

[@soulspin]

LOL.... love it

[@JulioCesar-mh6pz]

I ain't gonna lie, I wasn't that into The Weeknd when I first heard him. But after a couple more listens I started digging how deep his lyrics are and the atmosphere he creates with his music. This is another dope song, and another dope reaction from you guys. Keep it up! 👍😁

[@nickdreezy2457]

Especially with Kissland, even though a lot of people criticize the album to me he created a universe and it was absolutely dope!

[@ericp.2879]

Nick Dreezy I hated the album at first but it really grew on me. It's my first pick whenever I'm traveling somewhere. The only song I'm not a fan of is the Wanderlust. It's listenable but I just don't feel it.

[@nickdreezy2457]

boyz n the suburbs you don’t f with wanderlust? Maaaaan that thang is nice, if you don’t like wanderlust you prob weren’t a fan of rockin’?

[@whiskeyandcigarettes2785]

Same. My cousin showed me him singing dirty Diana over 10 years ago and I said he sucks. Then I listened to Trilogy and now he is one of my favorite artists. One of the few artists where I can hit shuffle and not skip a song.

[@briinabaybeee]

“I almost cut a piece of myself for your life” Selena had to get a kidney transplant. & that was while they were together. He was super supportive of her during this time & I take this line to mean that he was willing to give her his kidney to save her life.

[@JasonParadise]

Hot damn! The vulnerability in this track is fantastic. Absolutely love the vocals. Wonderful job as always, guys! 🤘

[@FoxBeKnowin]

I’m in a happy relationship but this song make me wanna get my heartbroke 😭😂😂😂

[@ifollowthelord1942]

No sir if you say break up my guy

[@AnasKhallouk]

True lmfao 😂😂

[@photobombchamp]

You know, this is not my style of music... but if there’s one thing y’all have taught me over the last few months it’s “talent is talent”.... and god damn this guy’s voice is undeniable... wowowow... much love to him for this one. Request, would love to see you guys revisit Trivium or Alter Bridge

[@abbecr7]

Selena Gomez had a kidney problem so the weeknd wanted to donate his kidney. “I almost cut a piece of myself for your life”

[@jesper8485]

Mazza Blanco yep, but she didn't accept it from him. Instead a friend of her donated it :-) Have a nice day

[@Deadeyepull]

Jesper Ledin he wasn't compatible

[@dj37967]

Jesper Ledin selena fanboy spotted

[@abbecr7]

Jesper Ledin brother please, don’t pick sides just admire the music

[@tatasland]

Finally a Weeknd song...thank you!! This and I was never there are my favorite tracks from this project.

[@keie3302]

Maaaaannn...Let me tell you....Walked into the Barbershop the other day and asked for the George. Barber says "Say no more fam!" I look at him like... "Keep it crispy... like a 4pc dinner at popeyes..spicy, no mild $hit". 45mins later and 2 day dreams about Alicia Keys, I walk out with the Ryan....... Well, at least my beard game fresh as a new born.

[@LostInVegas]

😂

[@dreaddinit1075]

Lmfao

[@lopez156210]

This channel has legit become my favorite reaction channel. Just the quality of the content is amazing, and not to mention the references you guys make.

[@yzwme586]

awww sheiiiiiiit........... I always say The Weeknd is Deftones of R&B. Deftones/The Weeknd is baby making music, simply put.

[@blackspring3207]

Wtf. Yes. YES.

[@theforsaken4489]

adrenaline my two favourite bands of complete opposite genres so damn powerful those artists are

[@vaniset]

Yasssssssss the Weeknd is everything his vocals are🔥🔥🔥🔥 vulnerability is sexy

[@benjamingalvan5547]

Bro your reactions are the realest man, always say things the way that they are without giving le way to one artist. Great critque.Dang. And yeah he was talking about selena, in this song

[@jamesdalton9526]

just want to say, I really enjoy the reviews you guys do. I'll sit outside, have a good drink or cigar and watch a few vids to chill out from the day. good job, gentlemen.

[@LostInVegas]

Thank you James!

[@jimreid5]

If you go outside how can you watch vids outside?

[@jamesdalton9526]

jimreid5 well, usually I link up to my wifi. Other times, I just think about what the videos might be like.

[@kurtsangel5387]

The echo like sound is called Reverb

[@jackofdeception3215]

u are different stay like this please

[@rpburns7]

Hahahaha

[@TheMovies102]

The line.."girl why can't u wait" is a call back to one of this songs on his second ep.."the birds pt. 2".. and that song it is the girl that is begging for him to stay n asking him to wait til she falls out of love be for he moves on so quicky..so this shows how now the tables are turned on him n he now understands how his ex felt n showing his growth as a person.

[@breadngravy3860]

What I love the most about you two is that it's obvious you adore music. You appreciate tiny details in songs that most people don't notice or think much of. When you spoke on the distortion on his voice near the middle, Ryan, it was so cool. Literally like 3 seconds of the song, and yet I think you hit the nail on the head by saying while it sounds cool, it also fits with the context of the lyrics, right? He feels he isn't being heard, his perception of things has become distorted. Really cool to pick up on these little things that make songs that bit cooler!

[@samuraiguineapig]

Even when i really don´t get into the music, i still like the pure and honest reaction.

[@marcojaramilloLilM]

He said "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" because Selena needa a kidney transplant .. she ended up getting it from a friend but The Weeknd almost gave her his

[@cherryberryslice]

I'm hearing this song for the first time and this song is good 👌. I feel sorry for the guy. #FREETHINKERS. Love u George & Ryan 💗😜

[@MrPeggle123]

You guys are literally the GOAT’s!! Keep it going champions 💪

[@SmileForJessica]

Or the 3 mixed tapes compiled into the trilogy by the weeknd, just the lyrics in that project are in depth and amazing. I know you guys can appreciate it.

[@Snyn.h]

A perfect example for “youtubers who know what they’re doing” and they’re doing it at its best.

[@julie_endr]

When he sings "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" he means, that he almost gave his kidney to Selena Gomez. She needed a new one, because of her illness called lupus...

[@doddi1491]

This is truly the best reaction channel on youtube imo, you guys actually REACT and tell what you think and thats awesome, keep em coming! 👍

[@jennifer12gn]

You need to review I was never there - The Weeknd!!! Love you guys

[@Melissa-rb6ct]

Jennifer Yess! That song is my second favorite off the album

[@robertbermodes1127]

My playlist had grown due to this channel. Free Thinking has opened me up to different types of music and when a song catches my ear I go and listen to more songs from the artist.... I pass the word to my friends with a shout out to you both. Keep it real

[@Liz-cmc313]

I like this. Not into this type but it's a good song. Love your reaction guys. 360,000 plus. That's effing awesome! Look forward everyday to your channel. Keeping it real 🤘

[@theAngusmaster101]

Prog Rock reaction please, I think you guys would love any of these: Steven Wilson- The Raven that Refused to Sing, Routine, or Drive Home (with their film clips) Porcupine Tree- Anesthetize (it's long but it's got groove, melody, goes kind of hard rock, and has a lot of soul)

[@FurryLover01]

Number 1 music react channel!

[@LostInVegas]

Salute!

[@Valenya23]

Wow. You guys are almost at 500k subs............ YOU DESERVE EVEN MORE, but damn that exploded since the fall of last year! GOOD JOB

[@paulemilrk]

"I almost cut a piece of my self for your life" - It's a reference to when Selena Gomez needed a kidney transplant, and Abel was willing to give her his kidney

[@YKing-zr3di]

when this came out i listened to it for 4 hours straight

[@GCASTROOO1]

Notification squaaaad ! Can y’all react to FlatbushZombies- ‘Headstone’ Much LOVE big Dawgs ! Keep up the reactions !

[@billshakespeare3495]

Great reaction. I like how he opened up too, it’s always interesting to see how people write when they’re hurt or super sad

[@ibinshootin2427]

Y’all just keep putting out fire content🔥

[@delilah1313]

The cut a piece of myself part is about Selena’s kidney transplant last year. The pit stop part and the “why can’t you wait till I fall out of love” was about the fact that Selena got back with Justin Bieber right after she and The Weeknd broke up.

[@QEnKA1989]

Loving this reaction guys':)

[@yessyroks946]

I love that u guys comment on the sounds, its important

[@erikrevier4053]

Toehider - Whatever Makes You feel superior You guys need to check this out!

[@Shanz288]

The line "Girl why can't you wait til I fall out of love" is a reference to his song "The Birds Part 2" where he sings "She said it won't be long before she falls out of love". The heart-breaker gets heartbroken this time.

[@ayeewtasko2601]

Muse - Knights of Cydonia!!!

[@Raziel555666]

Ayeew Tasko I would like them to listen to Muse but Knights only has 5 lines of lyrics...

[@mortalterminus]

Raziel555666 It's a banger, though. They'll definitely like it.

[@alilaboudi5560]

[@analarissa2909]

Anything from Muse!!!

Anything from muse

[@DeeGabbalot]

Hey guys. Love ya both! It's the weekend. I totaled my car last weekend (Sunday April 8th) on an icy bridge. No control whatsoever. Spun and bounced off of the concrete walls like a pinball in a pinball machine. Said my prayers, asked forgiveness of all sins and was accepting what I thought was about to happen. Friday night when neighbors struggled to get their truck bed closed and slammed it 3 times each time harder I went into a PTSD episode. Was so scary and freaky. I wasn't in my living room watching Master Chef Junior anymore. I was in my car on the bridge again and couldn't even see my living room. I say all of this to ask for prayers and if you don't pray please send good vibes through the universe to me. I'd appreciate it so much. Keep up the good work. Love ya guys so much! Great guys...keepers on any level!!

[@zigureru824]

TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). Different singer you'll fall in love with! Go Knights!

[@ChrissVFX]

I came across your guys channel about a month ago and I really have enjoyed your content. I am an open minded person and it is awesome seeing non biased reviews.

[@lesly13del]

Can you guys do the black panther album???

[@LostInVegas]

Hey Lesly! Always good to see ya! Nah, we missed the boat on that Black Panther album.

[@jnnlovies]

The Weeknd is just the shit!! Whether u wanna cry or make love, his music can set the mood. The sounds that come outta the speakers are amazing and very original. 💜🖤💜🖤

[@19CVL]

The review was on point! Completely agree he has his unique style and his vocals are always fire 🔥

[@viktorvondoom736]

Finally y'all doing some Weeknd shit. Been waiting for this to happen.

[@jeCktHeReal]

You guys need to react to songs from Faith No More, or Mr. Bungle. The singer of both bands is the man Mike Patton himself. Amazing stuff!

[@quintachante]

Coming from a die hard XO fan..... Abel never fails!!!! I remember he teased us with this lyric video. I was too hyped. Like i literally felt that this man was about to give us EXTRA HEAT and he did

[@لوسيستون-ح8ص]

when he says "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" he was about to donate his kidney to selena

[@sgtandyboy4377]

FINALLY thank you. I’ve been commenting this song on almost every vid

[@hellopity]

official lyric video yeah, the music video drops today

[@RyTunesIn]

I love how you guys provide so much insight on the music in every single video. Nobody does it better than y'all, keep it up🙌🏼

[@Whooooooops]

Supposedly the lyric "i almost cut a piece of myself for your life" refers to him almost donating his kidney to Selena

[@TySoloMusic1]

Love the point you made about the 'vibe' craze. Couldn't agree more

[@jaimeperales7219]

Y'all ALWAYS be uploading late af lol. And im pretty sure like 1/2 the songs are about Selena p.s the "cut a piece of my life" was a reference to him wanting to give Selena a kidney that she needed cause her's were failing cause of some disease she had\has

[@samuelenriquez3318]

jaime perales lupus

[@danielevans8258]

She also stated though that he never seriously considered doing that and just included the line to make himself seem more caring.

Y’all called him MJ jr. so you should forsure react to D.D. by The Weekend cause it’s a Dirty Diana cover. Super dope

I know you guys probably get like a million requests a day but i would love to see you guys react to more of the weeknd! If you do i would recommend ''Wicked Games'' by him, amazing track. Love the reactions guys keep it up!

[@carfumevroom2191]

[@jasmynetyus5134]

The “cut a piece of myself for your life” Selena needed a transplant and that’s what he’s talking about he was going to give his kidney (i think that’s what she needed) for her. This song is so captivating. It’s just amazing, vocals and production is STELLAR #XOTWOD

[@idontcare8341]

Love you guys

[@connorurbon2183]

When he said "almost cut a piece of myself for your life" he is talking about a kidney transplant that Selena needed. He was willing to give her his KIDNEY but she ended up finding another donor. WOW!

[@audreyf5614]

Would love to see you react to Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog. It's with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/Audioslave). Two absolutely amazing voices! You won't be disappointed, I promise! Love what you guys are doing, experiencing new music. People can be so closed minded with everything, especially with music. But, IMO, music is something that can bring us all closer together. Keep doing what your doing. It's a great example for the "next generation".

[@shannoncopeland4506]

YES!!! Hunger Strike would be fantastic!!!!

[@timkruse9912]

agree on the distortion part (which is my favorite part of the song) that it brings out the pain on the weeknd and it adds more emphasis on how he is feeling .. great review as always guys

[@kingofthefall464]

The part where he said "I almost cut a piece of myself for your life" The Weeknd was saying that because he was gonna give his kidney to Selena Gomez

[@chrisringer5778]

First channel I have ever seen with fans friend specific music category's

[@ordinaryJ03]

This new Weeknd stuff ist just impressive to me. Such a talent, his new stuff had me comfortably dying since he put it out. But how about another Gojira song my dudes? Still pleading for The Art Of Dying, it needs to happen!!!

[@tannerrowberry6267]

[@ryanco2232]

Lol the official music video just came out today

[@LostInVegas]

Horrible timing lol smh

[@thenuthouse5485]

"Its not about being complicated, its about conveying the emotion" --George. I agree completely.

[@thenuthouse5485]

I just said the same thing in post to another channel where they were talking about shred guitar by like Steve Vai music versus simpler lead guitar by David Gilmore of Pink Floyd. Its not a conversation that can be completely covered by one paragraph philosophically.

[@rasmusstormoen5510]

[@rebeccacaraska4112]

When you watch a reaction video because you want to validate your own feelings about a certain song, but end up screaming at the tele, for the interruptions to stop. Beautiful song, great reaction.

[@billshakespeare3495]

You guys gotta listen to Schism by Tool. It’s about the end of a relationship too, a little more complex though. Great lyrics

[@blitz34]

[@salaheddinzaanoune8245]

Props to Ryan for figuring the emotions of the weeknd on his 2nd verse , you can sense and feel that he really was upset

[@Girthquake-ls6oz]

React to black panther paramedic!

[@Valenya23]

Agreeeeeed

[@kaigai-nikimajikoi325]

From what I just heard The Weeknd really has some incredible writing don't he. He painted scenarios within his word and deep messages and the way he hits notes to capture the emotion of the same quality of what he's saying pushed it over the top. Very well done to Weeknd and good. looks on the video Lost In Vegas.

[@Loose_Bearings]

Love the show guys mad respect, youve got to try aussie rap though

[@matt3525]

lmfao please dont do aussie rap

[@Loose_Bearings]

no OG Hilltop Hoods?

[@Joshapopolus]

Y’all should really do some of The Weeknd’s music videos; his newer album ‘After Hours’ has a bunch of music videos that all align together and make basically a giant story. Would be really cool to see y’all react to it!

[@Haych90]

Really enjoy your videos. Check out Merkules he’s 🔥. I think you guys will enjoy his music!

[@Haych90]

His latest songs are fuck the world and moments.
