This channel needs to deep dive H.I.M. Found them by accident cleaning out a virus-laden computer from a heavy P2P user and decided to listen to some of the music they downloaded while cleaning out the viruses. Thought it was a boy band, I was so wrong.
If your digging Chris Isaak, give Roy Orbison a look. Their vocal styles are very similar. If you’re not familiar with Roy, he was the man that gave us the song Oh Pretty Woman.
They definitely need to check out Roy Orbison. Songs: Oh Pretty Woman, In Dreams, Crying, Only the Lonely, Candy Man, Mean Woman Blues. Songs with the Traveling Wilburys, Handle with Care and End of the Line The Traveling Wilburys consists of: Roy Oribson, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne of ELO and George Harrison of The Beatles. In the video End of the Line, Roy had died before the video was made so you will see a black and white photo of him during his singing parts and they put his guitar in a rocking chair in the video.
Chris Isaak pulled me up onstage in Seattle. But you HAVE TO watch the music video. IT’S EVERYTHING. Chris and Helena Christensen are magic together. 😁💖
She has the most beautiful eyes ever. Maybe it's because I saw the video when I was 12 for the first time but at 44 she is still my "Hellen Of Troy" or "Mona Lisa". She could have played Aphrodite haha. And Chris is a handsome fella himself. The passion in that video was palpable. So good still.
Morning fellas! Oh man i love this song! He has got such a smooth voice! This was a popular song back in the day and still sounds so good! Great choice guys!❤️🤓🙂
Actually he's from Stockton CA which is pretty close to San Fran. He's also an accomplished actor with parts in Silence of the Lambs(1991), A Dirty Shame(2004), and Married to the Mob(1988) to name a few as well as his own sitcom on Showtime, The Chris Isaak Show which ran from '01 to' 04. Also gotta get to Somebody's Crying, Blue Hotel, and my favorite, Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
@MacSvensson can't find anything about him being involved in any sport other than being head of an all-male high school cheer squad. Didn't see that one coming.
2 things. Chris Isaak guest starred on an episode of Friends where he played a librarian that was a love interest of Phoebe's. The two were playing guitar together and he hit that high note and she said "you might want to pick a more masculine note". Second. Corey Taylor does an awesome acoustic rendition of this song.
He acted as an FBI agent in Twin Peaks film Fire Walk with Me which was a massive TV show in the early 90s. It was during the time some men looked fashionably like 50s film stars Marlon Brando and James Dean.
Chris Isaak was born & raised in Stockton, CA in 1956. Still around & active in the music world today. Chris Isaak released 13 studio albums. Alot more than what you guys are thinking. Numerous different award nominations, tours, spanning 4 decades. Definitely a throwback to the Roy Orbison sound. Beautiful voice. Orbison was signed by Sun Records in 1956. Isaak was signed by Warner Bros. in 1985. Considered Rockabilly or Rock, just as Roy Orbison was. Roy Orbison died in 1988.
This is obviously a ladies' favorite track, but I always felt like it resonates with us fellas a little more. If you ask a girl you'll hear about how sexy it is, if you ask a dude, you're about to hear the saddest story ever.
Often labeled as a "rockabilly" artist...(I guess I can see it sometimes) but he has a wide range of styles....all very smooth. Try "Can't Do a Thing to Stop Me" , "Somebody's Crying" or "Lie To Me" for a similar feel to Wicked Game. You've opened a rather large rabbit hole that's well worth leaping into.
For me this is one of those songs that kind of proves how magical music is. Like this song just *IS* good. It’s a fact. I don’t know what makes it so good but it’s absolutely 100% undeniable. There isn’t a person alive who enjoys music who would hear this and think it’s not good. It just has that magic thing
Chris Isaak is a throwback artist, definitely referencing Elvis, Roy Orbison etc. If you want more Chris Isaak, check out Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing, San Francisco Days, Somebody’s Crying And yes, he’s from the Bay Area and a surfer, and former boxer.
I wanted to let u know you both are so amazing . So kind ❤ Very thoughtful , I could go on and on . You two are part of the reason I react. Gave me hope . I wish you all the best. I'll be watching on the sidelines ! Keep grinding. Bless you both
Such an achingly beautiful song. His voice and that guitar are what makes this song the most sultry, sexy song OF ALL time in my book. Have been a fan of Chris's for many, many years.
At the height of his popularity, after this video came out, he could walk into any store, club, or even any CHURCH, and walk out with ANY yall's wife lmao
The whole album is a masterpiece. All songs are really good. This is not the only banger of ghe bunch but is the most memorable. You just cant forget it.
@@ShanLH5of course they would have to see Chris Issac’s original video to appreciate the hilariousness of Kyle & Jack running through the beach, half-naked, with their giblets bouncing around. 😂
I remember when I was a kid in the 90s I saw him perform at a county fair. We had never heard of him before but we bought his album right there and became big fans. Anything from his albums Heart Shaped World or Forever Blue is just gold. But my favorite song of his is Black Flowers.
Dudes - you guys missed out by not watching the accompanying music video and the absolute gorgeousness that is Helena Christensen. Seriously, it'd be worth it to do a second reaction to the video - or at least go and catch it just for you! Highly recommend "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing" and yep, with the accompanying music video. 🙂❤ This song was used to great effect in David Lynch's "Wild at Heart."
You mentioned Roy Orbison. In the late 80’s and early 90’s he was part of a brilliant Super Group called The Travelling Wilburys. There was Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne. All of them musical superstars in their own right. The band started out as these guys goofing around in a recording session for George Harrison’s Cloud 9 album. Someone suggested making an album. I would recommend ‘End of the Line’ as it was released as a tribute to Roy after his death in 1988.
His wife was on the set of the video (the woman in the video is a hired model) taping. He said this was a little uncomfortable on that beach with his wife standing 6 feet behind the camera. Chris was set to be like a second coming of Elvis. With the perfect voice, snarl in his lip, and the hair. Unfortunately, he had a mild reception for several years after this song hit the top of the charts. BLUE SPANISH SKY was another great song of his.
Great pick guys, this is song is just fantastic. Chris has such a unique vocal pitch & very few could pull this off. (Omigosh, y'all gotta bring us some Roy Orbison!!! Start with...um, either "Blue Bayou" or "Cryin'"! 😁😎...the other Man in Black!)
Chris Issac used to open for Roy Orbison when Roy was much older and Chris would hang around, and after the shows to talk to Roy. Chris said that Roy was always very open and helped him greatly in his career. Chris's main influences were Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley and Chris Issac does a cover of one of Roy Orbison's songs called "Only The Lonley" that sounds very much like Roy Orbison. You should check out Roy Orbison's original version and then Chris Issac's cover to see where the strong influence came from.
I was 1k like! do I get a trivia question?! You guys are hilarious and to be honest, much smarter and better informed than a lot of reaction video hosts!

"This world is only going to break your heart"... Chris sings this even better live. His vocal control is a lot like Roy Orbison's. His tone and tambour cut straight to your heart and into your soul. Chris hails from the Bay area (Stockton CA) along w his band Silvertone. You would enjoy Heart Shaped World in its entirety, as well as, if not better his first two albums. He's got rock n Roll chops too! "Western Stars" echoes Wicked Game, yet more country vibe. "Pretty girls Don't Cry", "Another Idea", "Voodoo".
"Can't Do A Thing (To Stop Me) would have been a better song. Please react to that. It combines soft hip hop beat to early 60's twang guitars, with great atmosphere.
"I think I done mushrooms to this...' 😂😂😂😂
Best quote of the video and its not even done yet.
You owe it to yourself to watch the official video, it brings a lot to the table
If you liked Chris Isaak, you should check out "Baby did a bad bad thing" and "Blue Hotel" 😉
Yes! I would add Blue Spanish Sky.
This channel needs to deep dive H.I.M. Found them by accident cleaning out a virus-laden computer from a heavy P2P user and decided to listen to some of the music they downloaded while cleaning out the viruses. Thought it was a boy band, I was so wrong.
Love Blue Hotel, thanks!
Blue Hotel is amazing.
This man is the total package! His delivery and connection with his audience is incredible. Absolutely one of the great songs.

Everyone reacting to this song lately has been so nice. I get to hear Isaaks silky smooth voice over and over and over!!😍🥵🤘🏼
Just saw him over the weekend in Vegas. Sounds exactly the same, he's 67 now and still amazing and funny.
The HIM cover of this was and still is amazing.
You guys have done reactions to The Traveling Wilburys, Roy Orbison was in that band.
This song defines the word "longing." Goes right to the soul.

Also gotta get to Somebody's Crying, Blue Hotel, and my favorite, Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
And every video is a tribute to some of the most beautiful women of the 90s.
And was featured in Surfer Magazine back in the 80’s as a up & coming singer plus a pretty good surfer!
Didn't he used to be a boxer before his musical career? At least that's what I heard back in the day.
@MacSvensson can't find anything about him being involved in any sport other than being head of an all-male high school cheer squad. Didn't see that one coming.
Hasn't he written music for movies or TV shows?
What a wonderful track ❤
It's steady becoming one of my favorite ballands ever

"Chill vampire voice" is such a perfect description

yes, 13 albums, great... but he´s a one hit wonder anyway
@@andreasglaesel3811 one hit is all you need. there are many more great artists who never even charted, if you can believe that.
What a song! What a voice he has! And made all the better with a scantily clad Helena Christensen lounging about…❤❤
A pregnant Helena😊
@@hays9008lucky Dad
@@markferrett700Wasn’t the dad a Seal?
No (Seal was married to Heidi Klum) Helena Christensen have 1 son with Norman Reedus (Actor from Walking Dead and The Boondock Saints)

Classic tale of falling for someone you think is perfect.
Unrequited love
I saw Chris Isaac in concert when he opened for Tina Turner. It was a good show. It was a better show when I took my date back home. 😆 😊
Check out his songs "You Owe Me Some Kind Of Love", "Blue Hotel", "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing", "Dancing"
He is awesome. His delivery along with a phenomenal voice are what make him great.
I thought B said Oregon, too! 😆 But it's probably because I live there! Lol I love Chris Issak! This song will forever be timeless!! ❤
The whole album is sooo good. It's called "Heart Shaped World"
Love this and LOVE Jack Black's version with the funniest clip accompanying it. Must be seen to be believed
Are you guys forgetting you did a video for Handle With Care by the Traveling Wiburys… featuring Roy Orbison? 😊
I think they've done a few of Roy's songs. Roy is my favorite singer so I should remember but I don't lol😬😅
@@DefinitelyNotBender in all fairness they’ve done about 837,000 videos over the past few years 😆😊
@@ShanLH5 837,001 now😆 But true, they've done way more than I've ever been able to watch. I think I've watched at least half by now lol

Often labeled as a "rockabilly" artist...(I guess I can see it sometimes) but he has a wide range of styles....all very smooth.

Such an achingly beautiful song. His voice and that guitar are what makes this song the most sultry, sexy song OF ALL time in my book. Have been a fan of Chris's for many, many years.
Chris' voice is mesmerizing- the tone, the flow is fantastic. I had it on a playlist that my partner called "sexy time" whenever it came around. 😉
"dont make me dream about you" and "somebody's lyin" are also worth a reaction. i also like his version of roy orbisons "pretty woman"
Beautiful, mesmerizing …. my absolute favorite song ❤🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
At the height of his popularity, after this video came out, he could walk into any store, club, or even any CHURCH, and walk out with ANY yall's wife lmao

Great live version with band in studio and CI in flip flops.
Saw him live 2 years ago. An amazing showman, took you way back to the 50s. And he's very funny
Corey Taylor's cover of this is dope! Great reaction fellas! Have a bangin weekend!! ✌️n ❤

"I think I've done mushrooms to this" 🤣🤣
Does anyone remember his tv show?
Banging shirt's guys and great reaction as always
Always love Facelift!!
You should watch the video. It fits the song perfectly. Helena Christensen.
Roy Orbison!!!! Definitely do some of his material. I Drove All Night is magical.

Kiss from France🇨🇵
I wish you did the official video, it's pretty steamy with super model Helena Christensen.
"A chill vampire voice?" Lol, ive never thought of it like that but I'd say thats an accirate & fair description of his voice, in this song at least!

Great reaction gents. What a great song....such a vibe.
This is the reaction I needed fellas!! 💥
the duet of ROY ORBISON and KD LANG singing CRYING is one the best songs recorded
That whole album was great - we played it all the time for awhile there.
OH YES! Do some Roy Orbison! or his supergroup "Traveling Wilburys" (with Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison)
You definitely need to check out Roy Orbison. His music is from the 1960's.
Songs: Oh Pretty Woman, In Dreams, Crying, Only the Lonely, Candy Man, Mean Woman Blues.
Songs with the Traveling Wilburys, Handle with Care and End of the Line
The Traveling Wilburys consists of: Roy Oribson, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne of ELO and George Harrison of The Beatles.
In the video End of the Line, Roy had died before the video was made so you will see a black and white photo of him during his singing parts and they put his guitar in a rocking chair in the video.
Check out the acoustic cover of this song by Daughtry. He kills it!
Wow u guys gotta do the official video.
There's a European artist called HIM who did a rock version of this song. It's cool. Give it a listen.
Watch A Black and White Night by Roy Orbison. Incredible.
Since you loved this HIM might be right in your alley, their main vocalist Ville Valo has sort of similar voice, style and an insane 5 octave range 😮
Also the Japanese band Buck-Tick has a very similar vibe as well with their songs Dress and Kagerou
I Can’t hear this without picturing a supermodel on a black sand beach. You really should have watched the video.
This is definitely the type of song you do shrooms to tho 🤣🤣🤣
The band HIM witch is GOTHIC ROCK and they do a great job of this song !!!!! ❤😂
Model Helena Christensen is his love interest in the video. It really fits the song.
"This world is only going to break your heart"... Chris sings this even better live. His vocal control is a lot like Roy Orbison's. His tone and tambour cut straight to your heart and into your soul.

He's got rock n Roll chops too! "Western Stars" echoes Wicked Game, yet more country vibe. "Pretty girls Don't Cry", "Another Idea", "Voodoo".
He was in the movie Silence of The Lambs.
Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing is one of my favorites from Mr. Isaak..
In germany we call these kind of songs Schlüpferstürmer - translates to a song that storms panties.
"Can't Do A Thing (To Stop Me) would have been a better song. Please react to that. It combines soft hip hop beat to early 60's twang guitars, with great atmosphere.
