      You should do solitude by candlemass next! Maybe some epic doom metal might be cool

    I love how Richard asks Judson’s thoughts about the song and Judson immediately *proceeds* (🤭) to answer through the piano; like music is how he best expresses his thoughts and feelings. And his ability to pick out melodies and replay them by ear so quickly absolutely fascinates me! He’s so talented!

    I think we all are anxious to hear about Judson's first sleeptoken experience!

    • @Greatmeasures
      @Greatmeasures  8 місяців тому +2

      Well, theres a bit of story involved that we’re figuring out how to address regarding the telling of that story. Its a comedy and a tragedy and, in telling, become a history. Apologies for the delay ~J

    Can we have Judson listen to The Offering? pretty sure he will love the piano play in it

    @jollyscotch 8 місяців тому +3

    I totally second The Offering next! Love the input! There is absolutely something in the roots that makes it a SleepToken song without having to be glued to a style or genre.

    Judson mentioned Ween. This threw me on a whirl. One of my all-time favorite bands since the 90's.

    Judd not playing piano in the intro?! Has hell frozen over?? Also playing that guitar like a lap steel is pretty awesome. It’s quite impressive.😊

    The dialect choice of using diphthongs so frequently like "diff-er-ren-ent" as mentioned is so unique. Loved the video, the reaction, all of it. Do more Sleep Token leading up to the show and after if you guys are high on it.

    My wife and I are traveling nearly 3000 Km's end of May, to see Sleep Token live in Montreal. I was able to nab floor tickets. It's gonna be our honeymoon trip and I absolutely cannot wait!
    I found you guys through your first Sleep Token video, because I was already super into them. Chokehold is my favorite song too! I wanted to say how awesome you guys are, and how the community you are creating here has already opened my ears to new music. Off of a comment here, really getting into TesseracT now. Do them soon? I suggest Legion, The Grey, or War of Being. Love ya guys!

    Great opening by Judson, was just listening to Shooter Jennings and some of his tunes has the dobro playing I believe. Great song by Sleep Token, been waiting for this one. If you haven't listened to WIll Ramos's cover of this, amazing!!!

  • @Schumacher190
    @Schumacher190 8 місяців тому

    Ya know, he does day "Sleep" a lot, but I almost feel like it's with a different context or inference every time. Like, in one song, he says "get me to sleep." Does he mean to be made un-awake, or does he mean literally presented in front of this deity? When lyrics are left open for interpretation like that... DAMN do I love it. Combine their physical and musical style, with that writing and their actual anonymity together... what a recipe for success! I friggin LOVE Sleep Token!

  • @ewefturkey
    @ewefturkey 8 місяців тому +3

    Try the band Karnivool. Pure prog rock INSANITY AND MUSICIANSHIP. For example Goliath. The odd time signature in that song is 27/4 which is crazy haha. Great vocals, riffs just EPIC. Try them you won't regret a second im telling you

    • @cacojugon
      @cacojugon 8 місяців тому

      +1 for Karnivool but please do not do Goliath. It's the one everyone reacts to and there's plenty of other great songs from them.

    I agree it felt like it finished too early, but that's pretty standard for me since Opeth took over my ears.
    That would be an awesome super-band if Ted Nugent hooked up with Sleep Token and Judson brought the Beethoven/Wagner vibes!

    I would’ve loved to come to the Sleep Token show with you, but Missouri is just a smidge too far from Copenhagen. I hope you have a blast with whoever comes along.

    Hi, just watched Judson 's reaction to Slayer and he mentioned He loves songs with tempo changes and huge story behind songs which can take You on journey. I think there is nothing better for this sugestion than Dream Theater "Change of Seasons". Hope to see reaction from You one day. Thanks and all the best!
