Tom MacDonald - "Riot" (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@leannemcrae8132]

He gets the numbers he does because he created his fan base before he blew up big. We love Tom and Nova for many reasons besides just enjoying his music. We support him when he releases music and videos by sharing, watching, downloading, etc. When you have a fan base like that you get those numbers. A lot of independent artists don't have a huge ride or die fan base like he does. That's why he gets the numbers he does. Not sure what you were trying to say.

[@jaredfleming1010]

I wanted to add that Tom donated a good chunk of money to the veterans. You don't see many mainstream doing that, plus it's his own money, which I think that's awesome

[@RayVyn64]

The Sword of Truth. Research is a powerful thing.

[@beckyleavitt7808]

Tom has chronic depression and anxiety. He depicts his dark side (demon Tom) a lot. Dark Tom comes out when he gets aggressive. The inverted cross symbolizes his demons he fights every day. So he's not evil at all. #hangovergang

[@kelliej200]

Sword of truth instead of inverted cross ❤

[@Tessimistic420]

Agreed 💯 symbols have been used an reused for centuries given different meanings.

[@michaelhrivnak9463]

Tom always surprises. Always something different,

[@michaelhrivnak9463]

Tom is genuine. He changes the contact lenses when he switches the mood,

[@munky3175]

Sword of the truth! It's deep. The eyes are for visual conception. It's marking, makes you remember. Just like you did about the cross. It's always been in you mind" why". Keeps people talking

[@_Pam_3.14]

I always took it as the original meaning for an inverted cross, Cross of St. Peter. So it's the sword of truth? Either way I never thought of it to be what society has made the inverted cross out to be, and what he's saying about it! Tom is very genuine and I wish more people would do more research before making assumptions, but it is what it is, hopefully he looks all this up! Thank you for this!

[@rustuslandon5612]

The black eyes and inverted cross are all indicators (reminders) of Tom's TWO sides. A lot of his writing is about how he struggles with his dark side (satan in the basement). Don't Look Down is an example.

[@psychograndma5112]

Look at more then the numbers but the interaction among his fans. Most mainstream artists don’t even get a fraction of the amount of comments he gets. His audience is a wide spectrum meaning beyond , genre, ethnicity, and age. His catalog is varied so he reaches a much wider fan base. There are different subject matters that people are going to relate too. He also has a way of drawing peoples feeling out whether good or bad. I don’t consider him a just a rapper but an artist and there is a difference. He is creating a space that is unique to him and Nova. Not everyone is capable or has the work ethics to do that. You can have mad skills but that does not necessarily mean success.

[@matthewlayo9561]

Why listen to him if you think he's full of shit? When you put independent with air quotes when talking about Tom. You lost the plot.

[@debrafrogner]

I think your trying too hard to interpret tats or video imagery as something negative, cause I've heard you question all this before... Just my opinion, man. 90% of Tom's music is on his CD's and he speaks on faith often, his song Satanic rappers speaks on what he has seen & experienced in Hollywood...so, no, Tom is not a demonic presence, if anything he is just the opposite. He is a light in this darkness around us. If you had heard his work you would feel more confident in that. Respect from Oregon HOG!

[@patrioticbeats2089]

Nothing is demonic or evil about his music or imagery. It's all in context. It's not always surface level

[@darleneschulze7254]

#HOG FAM here for it ❤I appreciate your perspective while I disagree. When you watch Tom there is a difference between “marketing “ and his truth and character. His truth always shines through

[@jandkhoward2512]

An inverted cross only means he's not religious. This man is completely for truth to the world.

[@olem19]

Thats NOT a cross !!!!!!! thats the sword of truth.... what would an uppside down cross even meen in this song , Also known as an inverted cross, Petrine Cross or the Cross of St. Peter, the upside down cross is a religious and an anti-religious symbol at the same time. what in the world has that even the slightest thing to do with goverment??? but anyway ITS THE SWORD OF TRUTH!!!!!

[@demikats]

Good to see you back and also I saw your post on Instagram and Iwish you happy anniversary 😊.Your little boy is adorable! I love the song,the video and production. The visuals are insane! #HOG 🤟

[@lisaevansthefam2425]

The stuff he uses in his videos are just props and are meant to match his songs. There is no hidden meaning behind them like you suggested.

[@imoreviews8611]

The upside down cross is analogous to the 'tear drop', in my opinion. Respect for Jesus dying for us. I could be wrong of course too

[@imoreviews8611]

could be designed to be controversial too haha

[@roberttucker3869]

Hope you see this. Since you had a question about the upside down cross, it's an easy subject to discuss. History lately has portrayed an upside down cross as something controversial and blasphemous. But in reality, it was originally the sign of Christian martyrdom. So what he's really saying is, I'm taking one for the team and speaking the truth. (Be it right or wrong...it's what he believes and has faith in).

[@emblazen6442]

An inverted cross was originally a Christian symbol associated with Saint Peter, not sure if that is what Tom is using though.

[@nikki7906]

Nova has the same cross..it's called the sword of truth.. the contacts.. mean nothing except that Tom is about to speak his shit.. they are props for his video. If u ever watch Tom's live streams/ interviews..tom is 100% real and is not part of nor supports the main stream industry...never will.. Research..it can be a good thing!

[@kammyjohnson2288]

Good to see you again. Yes! Definitely more Tom. #hangovergang

[@_Pam_3.14]

The inverted cross doesn't mean what society has made it out to be, also the black eyes just means he's about to go in on some ppl. It's not to be demonic. Look up the upside down cross, also listen more to alot of his songs, he talks about God. In his song "no response" he says "I have a barbed wire halo and devil horns I don't mention (his tattoos on his head), yeah the Lord is my savior, but revenge is so tempting".... He believes in God, he even gave God thanks in an interview he did with Megyn Kelly. Btw if you don't look it up I'll tell ya, an upside down cross means: The Cross of Saint Peter or Petrine Cross is an inverted Latin cross, traditionally used as a Christian symbol. In Christianity, it is associated with the martyrdom of Peter the Apostle. Also, we can say the same for the rainbow flag. The rainbow was once a symbol for Christianity, now it is for the LGBTQ+ community. So would you question him if he came out rocking a rainbow flag? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔. I mean probably, because that's just what people do, and that's ok, but research things, and him and you'll see he's genuine. Just wanted to throw all that out there to you. Great reaction though. It is a banger. #HOG

[@-lifeofanurse-]

Nothing but 100% facts!!! I honestly don't get why ppl get so offended by the upside down cross bc ppl walk around with the cross upwards it's a belief they have on what it stands for, but Tom can't express how he feels which could be completely different from what others think it means..Tom has said over and over there's something out there, but he doesn't know exactly what also known as "SBNR" SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS, but does that mean he worships the DEVIL??? No, it doesn't!!! Ppl irritate me, fam!! #HOG 4-EVA 🤙 🤙 🤙

[@_Pam_3.14]

@@-lifeofanurse- I don't get it either! I've never thought it to be demonic. Either one of the things he mentioned. Even before I researched Tom after finding him and his music. But those that do question it and say things like this, it's not hard to find those answers. It takes less than 2 seconds to Google it, but also if you've actually paid attention through society you'd already know these things anyway. (Talking about ppl in general). But Tom does a lot of interviews too so it's not hard to look those up too and see how genuine he is as a person, and where he stands! Luv to ya HOGfam! #HOG4LIFE

[@BigStarChilton]

You always have the option of being the thing you think Tom should be.

[@christianpcassidy3753]

Song slaps! and is 🔥 in my opinion. Tom and them for real leveling up with this song💯 Visuals and production were💪 Beats / music / guitar / flows / hooks were nasty👿 Props to Nova and Jared for the video/Vfx 🏆win! and gotta give it up to Evan Morgan's Production on the mixing/mastery of this track too. A concert song for sure😲 Thanks🙏 #HangOverGang

[@carolynbifano]

Check out "Gumbo" - Adam Calhoun Ft. Demun Jones, Brodnax, Dusty Leigh. It also dropped last week.

[@northnova1358]

I love Tom but that’s a good question! I know what my answer is, but that’s a fair question! LOL -I was getting in my feelings there for a sec, Great reaction bro glad you’re back Sub’d 🐗HOG🇨🇦🇺🇸 ⚠️Have you seen the 🙏🏻 “monster energy drink lady”🙏🏻 look her up on KZbin and she does a live breakdown of all the Devil imagery in the monster energy drink can‼️ it’s only 1 minute!

[@MomOf._.2]

He out the cross like that cuz he’s mocking the rappers who do promote the upside down crosses I learned that from listening well of his music

[@mariejustme]

#HangoverGang 🔥🤘🏼❤️

[@jasonhunyadi9869]

I may be late but what I've watched you skip stuff after your comments.

[@Tessimistic420]

Listen to his track Dear God or Satanic rappers an see how you feel about it after that?

[@joannas7506]

His message is evil runs the world, he will put little things in his video so you see how they do it. You missed the point

[@matthewmatt5285]

Lame reaction vid,.Seen 25 on this tune,.Bottom 5 talking about inverted crosses on an apocalyptic setting,.lol,.Woww

[@7nflgirl]
