TOO CLOSE TO TOUCH & BAD OMENS “Novocaine” | Aussie Metal Heads Reaction

[@sydneylalonde8744]

TCTT didn't get a new vocalist, this new album they're releasing has vocals from before Keaton passed. In regards to this music video, its interesting cause the footage they used of Noah/BO was the cover of Sympathy by TCTT that BO was playing on tour.

It's gut-wrenching to hear these final songs that Keaton wrote and to know just how sick he was. His voice evokes emotion like no one else's for me. I definitely recommend listening to the TCTT album Haven't Been Myself. It was written after Keaton's 3 year old sister passed away suddenly. The song Eiley makes me cry every time, and even more so after Keaton joined her a few years later. And Sympathy, the song Bad Omens did as a tribute to Keaton on their first headliner tour in late 2022, is also from that album. It was more of a duet than a cover. They had an extra mic on stage to represent Keaton and it was a blend of Keaton's vocals from the studio track and Noah's live vocals. The footage in this video was from when the surviving members of TCTT joined Bad Omens on stage for the Sympathy tribute. Nerve Endings is also a great album, although not quite as raw as Haven't Been Myself, IMO.

The song Bad Omens covered on their concrete jungle tour was “sympathy” and listening to it after Keatons death makes the lyrics hit that much harder

[@itzkillerbrostudios8904]

it hits diff af and its sad that Keaton Pierce died bc Noah Sebastian and Keaton was so close friends

[@tylerellingson6497]

TCTT are one of those ultimate ‘what could have been’ bands. Such a genuinely good guy when I got to see them live a few times. Gone too soon. RIP Keaton. For context, the band is doing something similar to what LP are doing w/r to Chester, releasing previously unheard music recorded w/ Keaton, and assumingly will be done after that (as opposed to something like WCAR who have kept going w/ just Dave on vocals)

[@MisonS2]

This song and Control are probably my two favorite songs off their album. Every song was older songs that they had recorded before Keaton had passed and didn't make it to the albums. The band got other artists/bands to add their pieces to the album as an homage to Keaton. The band is planning on discontinuing the project and have no intentions of moving forward with a new vocalist.

[@ashtareal]

Eiley by TCTT is something you 100% should react to. It is even more heart wrenching than this. Basically Noah and Keaton were best friends; they met on tour and just clicked. Noah has Keaton's name tattooed on his hands.

[@oarch4ng3lo]

God Eiley is such an emotional song I can't help but tear up everytime I hear it

[@boko1410]

@@oarch4ng3lo it breaks me everytime, too. I would love to see more reactions to Eiley because it's such an emotionally heavy masterpiece.

[@TragedyClub98]

keaton was one of noah's best friends. Noah covered sympathy by TCTT ( bad omens and TCTT performed together on stage) as a tribute to keaton and a while back noah had posted a photo with a part of this song way before we knew about the album TCTT now has released. Novocaine has had me crying every day since it came out. I can't even imagine the pain TCTT and noah and everyone close to keaton have gone through. This last album, a tribute to keaton will carry on his legacy and his memory

[@MarissaBishop]

I think they focused on Keaton when Noah sang because I’m pretty sure it’s Noah talking to Keaton now that he’s passed away. They were good friends, Noah said when he had the remaining members of TCTT join them in one of their cover performances of Sympathy that Keaton was actually one of his best friends and one of his biggest inspirations when it comes to how he sings.

[@Sythek]

'The Gentlemen' is one of my favorite films! Such a great movie!

[@tytymcd]

React to Eiley. It is the most emotional song I've ever heard. RIP Keaton & Eiley.

[@mutatednut]

Facts dude

[@jordijackson87]

Keaton taught Noah how to do soft/higher vocals. Great tribute to him and playing sympathy live on shows to shed light on TCTT for mentoring them back in the day. Check Eiley if u want emotional by TCTT read back story and have crying tissues ready though

[@dugtheundead]

Super happy to see you guys react to this, let's go! Man Noah's part hits you right in the feels. Amazing tribute

[@dan_hobs]

Sympathy and Control were written by Keaton... basically while he knew he was dying it wasnt exactly public... absolutely gut wrenching.

[@rocka_fella_8870]

If you watch interviews with noah, it's more the other way round in terms of influence 😊. Him and keaton were best friends and noah learnt a lot from keaton.

[@brentonvicary3559]

I just got into these guys last week. Such a great album done in a great way

[@kathleenhillier6765]

Thank you all for the review. Definitely check out their discography! I didn't start listening to TCTT till after Keaton's passing. Everything about them was emotive.

[@LoopyLoopyKat]

Keaton was loved by many. The Word Alive have a song K.P dedicated to Keaton as well ( amazing song and so deep )and Telle also features on a song on the EP just released.

[@itsbradpaton]

TCTT were a really great band and I used to really listen to them years ago, very heavy lyrically. Hadn't listened to them in a long while and had no idea the vocalist had passed away.

[@charlienuggets7443]

I know it would be a massive project to tackle, but I would love to see a reaction to TCTT's whole catalogue from their EP to "For Keeps"

[@rachsabrinskas]

“… very regal” as I lie here mouth breathing and finishing up my skincare in a days’ old tee. Thank yiew.

[@StrudellyDoodle]

I wish id gone to the bad omens/to close to ouch concert in nashville a few year. RIP Keaton. Noah was the perfect choice but ill miss never having something new to hear from you.

[@nolankuffner3573]

Man, I wish I could remember which song TCTT shot that video for. It wasn't for Novocaine, I do remember reading that. The band releasing this EP (8 songs, so call it a mini-album) in full was the most amazing tribute to his memory ❤️

[@Jcoiner7]

Honestly everyone, we should stream the entire back catalog and get multiple songs on there because that’s where they belong! ❤️ And start with, “Casket.” It’s experimental but it’s beautiful. There is not one bad song in their catalog. “Eiley” is heartbreaking. Hope you love them Johnny, tell us what you think once you dive in!

[@Jcoiner7]

Wait until you listen to, “Disappear.” 😭❤

[@jxstified7558]

Feelsbad RIP Keaton

[@Keigg]

you need to react to the live v.a.n performance with noahs vocals featuring on it

[@shaefisher4688]

You guys should listen to eiley by tctt absolutely gut wrenching

[@kimeklund8880]

React to the band Bite Down - Beautiful Gloom Great band 👊🏻

[@dianneweaver5740]

You do realize this song is about Noah’s best friend who passed away??

[@codyallen9188]

They was a really good band TCTT lead vocalist had an amazing voice sucks he's gone both where close to one another.

[@Readiesdigest]

I get Nathan’s logic behind movies haha but October is spooky month so I do the same thing as Johnny 😂 but I’ve also seen plenty of the good movies haha

[@Readiesdigest]

Also the gentlemen tv show was amazing

[@andreistefaniamoni]

Please please react to 'THE BLACK' by Imminence ❤

[@jerryhinds6009]

Do check out TCTT. You won't be disappointed. Keatons voice was like no other. Please , Please check out their music catalog. 🙏✌️👍💙

[@Bebop_Bun]

I'm with Johnny. Give me the crap horror movies all day.

[@neonbones7184]

I noticed when I watched The Gentleman all the reflections in glass, glasses, mirrors etc and it drove me NUTS! Turns out it was on purpose. Yeah well done, but terrible for ASD folk.

[@FilipeGomes6]

It is possible for you both to react to the song by Convictions - Sleeping Lotus, you wont be disapointed. Thank you 👍
