Wow Rob Squad, Andy and Alex, who's next. I just hope I'm not the cause of bugging you guys for my favorite tunes and movies. In any case I really wish you all the very best in your recovery from the you tube experience. God Bless all of you, and I wish you all a speedy recovery in Jesus Name.
Yes! And both Andy and Alex should feel free to take a break due to the stress of rebuilding if they want! (And rude commenter is the real troll, f*** off)
@@sparksdrinker5650 The irony of you accusing someone of trolling... Have they gave any contact details? No. Have they stated people should seek their help? No. If someone is looking for a therapist, do you think the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place they would look is on a UA-cam comment thread? No, quite possibly the last place you'd go for help. They simply mentioned their profession as it shows they have a lot of personal knowledge on people struggling with life.
You guys are the S-tier at what you do. No one's going anywhere. Andy, please take care of yourself and take as much time as you need. We'll still be here, hanging out with Alex and supporting him the best we can, while keeping your seat warm. If you guys start a fundraiser to help with a Freedom Shack rebuild, please let us know. I've been following you since Andy was solo in his bedroom and from what I've seen, this community loves you guys. Wish you both the best, but we're not going anywhere either! Take care, Andy. Time off to resettle is something we all need to do from time to time. The key is to actually take that time off to do it.
Sorry for the loss of your studio that's terrible. It looked like a cool hangout it must be very difficult And So sorry that you feel that way. Your mental health and health overall is the most precious thing you have. Rest and get better. Will miss you but will be here when you return
The fundraiser will be needed. As a Florida resident, I can tell you that they probably couldn’t afford insurance protection or, more likely, even find it available. The whole thing’s a scam in our state. Glad both of them are okay, physically at least. Andy - Take care of yourself. Please don’t feel bad about needing a break. These are stressful times in many ways. I and a couple of my friends are struggling with depression and, frankly, dread. Not meaning to moan about it. Just want you to know that you’re not alone.
I would so donate to a Freedom Shack rebuild and so would many others no doubt. You guys have been part of my day for so long. Feel better, Andy your fans will always be here!
Man, when I saw the thumbnail I was expecting something much more (permanently) tragic. Not to minimize their loss, but what you said. I’m glad they are both OK.
This Channel and The Rob Squad are my daily go to’s for music reactions! I’m praying that everyone can take the time to heal and find your center again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Do whatever you have to do. Sometimes the best growth and outlook comes from disaster and minor calamities. Keep your attitude strong and positive, and keep that fighting spirit. I love u guys and you’re part of my “evening fix” when I wind down. Looking forward to your comeback. Alex, you got this. I have all the faith in the world. Just be you and that’s plenty good enough for us. Love and peace, my friends✌🏾🩷🙋🏾♀️
From a 61y old guy from the UK, trust me , your well-being is the most important thing. Both of you have certainly entertained me and you are doing the best thing. Take your time and build.back.better !
61yo Yank (Seattle) here mate. Another older wiser man giving these guys good advice is heartening! Good on ya!! But, eh... Please don't say build back better... Pretty please? And I won't say that four letter "M" word... 😂 ✌🏽❤️✊🏽
Sorry about the tough times. My mental health has taken a hit over the past 5-6 years, and this has been the hardest one yet. It probably does require a change to break out. Look forward to seeing you back.
Dearest Andy, take all the time you need, and lean on the love and support of your family and friends. Thanks for all the joy your channel has given me.🥰
The most important thing I've learned over my long life is that bad times are TEMPORARY! When the pain becomes unbearable, it means it's almost over. It's a pattern that isn't obvious until you're old like me, but when you look back, you can't help but see it.
That is a great point. I’ve also realized the older I get the more I know you don’t have a lot of control over these things. You just have to take the ride. Unfortunately you don’t know this until you’ve been here a while.
I understand you are trying to be kind but you are referring to your life, you should not speak for others - for some, "bad times" and pain IS lifelong. Some people find ways to cope and others never do.
This channel’s community is the best on UA-cam I swear. RIP to the freedom shack, and Andy take all the time you need buddy. We’ll all be here when you come back. Rock n roll never dies.
Agreed 100%. I started watching Andy and Alex not too long ago (July 21st I watched their reaction to Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights") but go back to their older videos on occasion to catch up a bit in addition to watching the newer ones. Andy, please from all of us fans here on the channel, take as much time as you need to take care of yourself, rejuvenate, and ultimately rejoin Alex when the time is right. Love what you guys do and how you actually react to the music really feeling the song. Among my favorite channels here on UA-cam.
56 year old woman here. You two are around my boys’ ages. I have so enjoyed watching yall listen to music that I loved so much when I was younger. Alex, I’ll still be watching! Andy, I’m praying for you and hope you take all of the time you need. It will be a special day when you come back. Take care!
Just found (and subbed to) your channel. Sorry to hear you’re going through this but you have built an amazing channel and an even more amazing community. Trust in both! Looks like I’ve got a huge back catalog of videos to start watching. Wishing you both the best!
Andy, your health is your number 1 priority, take the time you need, don't make any promises to return, if it happens great, if not it was a fantastic run, Jay, you also take care, wishing you both all the very best and thank you both so much for the joy you have brought into our lives.
Andy, I applaud your self-awareness and your willingness to take the time to get a handle on your troublesome thoughts and feelings. Alex, I applaud your loving support of Andy as he takes time for himself. You both have built a great source of happiness for us rock and rollers but your health comes first. ☮️& ❤️& 🎸
Andy, by going public with your need to address your mental health, you will give courage to others to seek the help they need, too. Proud of you. Alex said it best, “You take care of you.” 👊👊
Been following you guys since the days when you had nothing but a bed you were sitting on to listen to tunes. We'll be watching no matter if you video from a cardboard box. Best to you guys as to surmount this tribulation of life. There will always be those.
So sorry for your loss of The Freedom Shack. I have been watching since Alex first joined. Your channel has brought me many hours of joy and entertainment. Andy, take care of yourself. Much love!
This channel is objectively the best music reaction channel. Cause it's not just about shock value and everything having to be awesome and epic. They always give an objective constructive rundown of the music they listen to and analyze from a musical perspective. I hope they aren't going anywhere and the reactions continue. There's still a ton of excellent music worth listening to and experiencing for the first time.
I totally agree with you, there is no better channel. I have been watching for a long time now and love how they break down the songs as they see them, and as we see their takes on what we listened to as kids.
You guys do what you have to do, and dont worry about us. Get better Andy, thanks Alex for carrying on. We're here in support of whatever you guys decide to do....
Don’t worry about it, buddy. Get yourself taken care of. That’s the most important thing. Everything else is secondary. You can tell people here are very supportive. We’ll see you back soon!
I'm looking at the most important part of the channel, it's the two of you. Watching you guys is like sitting around listening to music and discussing it with friends. Take all the time you need, we'll all be here waiting to see what you do next. 💯
How kind of you two to communicate so authentically about what you're going through. Lots of love on your journey, Andy. I look forward to Alex's upcoming shows.
I’m 76 and have enjoyed you guys from the beginning. I always look forward to your reviews of some of the greatest music of my life. You guys have to take care of yourselves first. I will still tune in God willing. Prayers being sent your way.
You’re doing the right thing, Andy. Take your time to get better, and you’ll know when the time is right to come back. Wishing you all the very best for your recovery. Sending love and healing vibes from Scotland. 🏴
I am so sorry that your studio got destroyed! I am glad that all your people are OK. Andy, I am sorry that you are going through stuff. Taking this time out is a good idea. Alex, I know you will hold down the fort well. Prayers to you both.
Like everyone affected by the 2 hurricanes, please take the time you all need to recover and to all that are struggling with health issues, you need to take of you. Blessings to you all. ❤😀🇨🇦
Sorry you lost the Freedom Shack in the hurricane. So sad for everyone who suffered and is suffering from the impact. Andy take care of yourself and enjoy a break. Sometimes you have to step back, relax, take a breath. Love you guys and what you do on the channel!
I feel your pain. I’m in Valrico, just west of you guys. Really tough here as well. Hope you come back and stronger than ever, Andy. Get back to where you once belonged. God bless!
Tuning in from New Zealand & I feel you guys. The last dozen years here have been a bit rough,earthquakes,wild weather,we are also recovering from two recent huge cyclones. Look after yourselves, go as fast or slow as you need to. All the best from downunder
Andy, take care of yourself. We will miss you, but we know you will be back when you’re better. And Alex, we’ll be here to help you in anyway we can while you navigate this alone for awhile ♥️
Oh, Andrew and Alex! You both have helped me smile during the worst time of my life. Andy, I could tell you haven't been okay for awhile. Please know you are much loved. You guys are like my sons. 💗
@@joymarter380it’s been apparent for a long while. This is tough because he has a life beyond this and he probably wants to move on with it but kinda feels trapped doing this. We can’t expect they’ll be doing this at 80. I’m guessing they’ll announce Andy’s official retirement soon. It will be interesting to see if Alex continues or if it morphs into something different.
I got nothing but love for this channel. I've been here since the beginning and every journey has road bumps, we all navigate it the best we can. Sending good vibes!
Andy, you have friends, lots of them! Hang in there. You guys do this better than anyone on UA-cam. In Andy's absence, I like the idea of Alex doing some of the songs Andy did early on. Looking forward to seeing the both of you back again.
Quebecer here - you guys are the best. Absolutely you must take care of yourselves. It has been a blast so far, let's see what happens next! All the best boys!
Hello and hugs from Western NC, where we lost our community as well. We love you, please take your time and heal, get yourself back to a good place, and we are here when you are ready.❤❤❤❤
Be well, Andy, I have loved your channel since you were flying solo, and it’s only gotten better as you both have grown, truly one of my favorites. Wishing both of you nothing but the best, you’ve brought a ton of joy into my life personally, and likely many others.
I think you’re making an incredibly good decision. You have always reminded me of my nephew. You look so much like him. Take the time to focus on yourself. I’m sure everyone here understands. I’ll be praying for both of you. God bless you both. ❤
Take the time you need for yourself we just you both will come back to us. I'm a 78 year old grandmother who has had this music around me since the late 60! I really enjoy watching and listening to you both review "my" music!
Sorry to hear of your struggles. So sorry about your studio as well. I have been watching since the beginning of your channel (or close). Andy, take care of yourself. You are so important and you matter. Hang in there. I will be thinking of you. ❤️
I am heartbroken. So sorry there was so much destruction from the Hurricane. You must do what is best for your mental health. I am a Patreon member but if there is any other way to send some financial support please let us know. Prayers for you both 💔🙏
Absolutely! I visit here all the time. I already sent a donation to help hurricane survivors, but would gladly do so again to help you guys. You have 164K subscribers. Don't underestimate the generosity of people who care about YOU TWO, even though we only know you through the channel.
Sending a lot of love from Portugal! This year we had multiple big fires and i feel for the ones who lost their houses and their life's. I can't imagine your moment right now but never forget... Keep your chin up guys!
Thank you fellas for taking us along with you on your " Musical journey". I hope to hear that you have figured it out down the road and take all the time you need. Love & support from an old gal in Hamilton Ontario Canada. xoxo
So sorry to hear about this boys..Just take comfort in fact that you are both here and safe .In the meantime do what you need to do to take care of you.Thanks for all the great moments.Shout out from Australia ❤❤
I live in Fla too - but didn't have any damage. Have been watching u guys since right after Alex joined Andy & will surely miss Andy, but so glad to know he will be returning! Hope u guys find a good place to continue - God Bless!
I'm so sorry about the loss of your studio. Take all the time you need to take care of your mental and physical health. You've grown an amazing channel and we'll be here for you.
I started watching you guys during the Covid lock down. I have really enjoyed watching a couple of younger guys discovering and enjoying much of the music of my youth, from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. I will stick around for Alex’s reactions and wish the very best to the both of you in whatever the future brings.
Andy - thanks for sharing your story with us, and we are all supporting you in your mental health journey. It’s no different than having to take time off for a surgery, or any other medical issue, but far too many people fear speaking up about their need to address a mental health issue due to the stigma surrounding it. Your courage in speaking out and sharing with us is commendable.
All the best Andy and remember your health is your wealth. Youll get there. Look forward to seeing u back in the new year. Im sure Alex will hold the fort and do you proud. God Bless ❤
Y’all take the time that you need. Andy, therapy is a wonderful thing. Sometimes you just need to talk it out with someone who can give you some life tools. Alex, we’re all here whenever you get things figured out. The channel belongs to you guys! We’re just here enjoying the ride. ❤ Big hug. Be well.
Like I told Jay, my brother never got the help he needed so 1st of all good for you for getting the help you need. Also good for you for doing this publicly so that others in you situation know there's no shame in needing help and they did nothing to " cause " it. Take care of yourself coz you are worthy and deserve to have as great a life as anyone could. Prayers for you and your journey. God Bless.
Andy, as someone who has dealt with, and still am, mental health issues, I completely understand. Take the time and take care of yourself. We all love you.
I’m from Raleigh and I love our mountain area so much. The scenes are devastating and surreal, but I also know that Western Carolinians are hardy, resilient, adventurous, good down-to-earth can-do people and rebuilding will happen. You’ve got everyone in the state behind you.
my man, i get it. i am struggling so bad right now i can't stand myself anymore. keep up the good fight. you will get to the other side. keep up the good fight. you guys are awesome and you do amazing things. keep up the good fight. your mind will heal, keep up the good fight, and i will too.
I am sorry to hear that, I live in North Carolina not Ashville what was hit hard.l wish you both the best and God will provides and get you back on track .God bless and i wish both of you the best of luck.
I could tell, Andy, and have been worrying about you. You are stronger than you might believe. . .sitting next to Alex and differing from him 😊. You are in our collective prayers.
You have made such a huge impact on me! Thank you, Andy! Please! Please! Do everything you need to be well, body and mind. Love you. Love you both! Alex - lots of folks out here rooting for you.
Wow, Andy and Jay from Rob Squad making similar announcements about their personal struggles on the same day. Good guys, I wish them the very best.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, I sincerely hope they get better and come back stronger.
Came here to say the same thing! 2 of the music reaction channels I watch said the same thing in a separate video within 24 hours! 🙏🙏
Chapters in our Ives.
Indeed. I wonder if these creators realize how much stress and strain this kind of content creation can cause. They need breaks and vacations.
Wow Rob Squad, Andy and Alex, who's next. I just hope I'm not the cause of bugging you guys for my favorite tunes and movies. In any case I really wish you all the very best in your recovery from the you tube experience. God Bless all of you, and I wish you all a speedy recovery in Jesus Name.
Therapist here. Takes courage to take that healing journey. You have given us such joy in music...may you have much love and compassion for yourself❤
What he said.
Trolling for customers?
Yes! And both Andy and Alex should feel free to take a break due to the stress of rebuilding if they want!
(And rude commenter is the real troll, f*** off)
@@sparksdrinker5650 The irony of you accusing someone of trolling... Have they gave any contact details? No. Have they stated people should seek their help?

It looked like a cool hangout it must be very difficult
And So sorry that you feel that way. Your mental health and health overall is the most precious thing you have.
Rest and get better.
Will miss you but will be here when you return
Ditto!
The fundraiser will be needed. As a Florida resident, I can tell you that they probably couldn’t afford insurance protection or, more likely, even find it available. The whole thing’s a scam in our state.
Glad both of them are okay, physically at least.

There's still a ton of excellent music worth listening to and experiencing for the first time.
They don't have the bad habit of pausing the song every 25 seconds.
They also don't interrupt the song mid-way.
and you can see that they don't fake anything and are just two good guys that are friends and have a life outside of it.
I totally agree with you, there is no better channel. I have been watching for a long time now and love how they break down the songs as they see them, and as we see their takes on what we listened to as kids.

Rough news about the shack. Andy, take care of yourself. I think it’s safe to say you have a lot of supporters. Stay strong. Alex - stay rad.
Don’t worry about it, buddy. Get yourself taken care of. That’s the most important thing. Everything else is secondary. You can tell people here are very supportive. We’ll see you back soon!

@@joymarter380it’s been apparent for a long while. This is tough because he has a life beyond this and he probably wants to move on with it but kinda feels trapped doing this. We can’t expect they’ll be doing this at 80. I’m guessing they’ll announce Andy’s official retirement soon. It will be interesting to see if Alex continues or if it morphs into something different.
I got nothing but love for this channel. I've been here since the beginning and every journey has road bumps, we all navigate it the best we can. Sending good vibes!
Andy, you have friends, lots of them! Hang in there. You guys do this better than anyone on UA-cam. In Andy's absence, I like the idea of Alex doing some of the songs Andy did early on. Looking forward to seeing the both of you back again.
a hiatus to reset the soul is very therapeutic
Andy, your health is much more important than anything else.
Take as much time as you need. Wishing you the very best. 🙏
Quebecer here - you guys are the best. Absolutely you must take care of yourselves. It has been a blast so far, let's see what happens next! All the best boys!
Hello and hugs from Western NC, where we lost our community as well. We love you, please take your time and heal, get yourself back to a good place, and we are here when you are ready.❤❤❤❤
We love you, Andy! Take the time you need.
We'll be here, no worries. Everybody needs a little time away...
Be well, Andy, I have loved your channel since you were flying solo, and it’s only gotten better as you both have grown, truly one of my favorites. Wishing both of you nothing but the best, you’ve brought a ton of joy into my life personally, and likely many others.
Best of luck Andy. Take all the time needed and know we are with you and will miss you!
I think you’re making an incredibly good decision. You have always reminded me of my nephew. You look so much like him. Take the time to focus on yourself. I’m sure everyone here understands. I’ll be praying for both of you. God bless you both. ❤
Andy, please take all the time you need to feel better. You are loved and appreciated by everyone here.
Take the time you need for yourself we just you both will come back to us. I'm a 78 year old grandmother who has had this music around me since the late 60! I really enjoy watching and listening to you both review "my" music!
We'll be here , ..this is my favorite channel.. take care andy much love , feel better..🤍
Will be missing you Andy. Get well soon, and get back to here when you're feeling ready. Best of everything.
Andy, feel better and many blessings to you! ❤
Sorry to hear of your struggles. So sorry about your studio as well. I have been watching since the beginning of your channel (or close). Andy, take care of yourself. You are so important and you matter. Hang in there. I will be thinking of you. ❤️
I am heartbroken. So sorry there was so much destruction from the Hurricane. You must do what is best for your mental health. I am a Patreon member but if there is any other way to send some financial support please let us know. Prayers for you both 💔🙏
Absolutely! I visit here all the time. I already sent a donation to help hurricane survivors, but would gladly do so again to help you guys. You have 164K subscribers. Don't underestimate the generosity of people who care about YOU TWO, even though we only know you through the channel.
Canada loves both of you Andy & Alex! Stay strong!
I'm Canadian, and I approve this message 💘
We love Canada
You guys have been a part of my lunch breaks for 4 years consistently. You are appreciated. Thank you for making my days brighter with your channel
Sending a lot of love from Portugal! This year we had multiple big fires and i feel for the ones who lost their houses and their life's. I can't imagine your moment right now but never forget... Keep your chin up guys!
Thank you fellas for taking us along with you on your " Musical journey". I hope to hear that you have figured it out down the road and take all the time you need. Love & support from an old gal in Hamilton Ontario Canada. xoxo
Dudes I've been here since 15k subs. It has been amazing!!! Andy was solo in those days. Get well, rebuild! We will be praying for you guys!!
Always
Appreciate you friend, good times indeed!
So sorry to hear about this boys..Just take comfort in fact that you are both here and safe .In the meantime do what you need to do to take care of you.Thanks for all the great moments.Shout out from Australia
❤❤
Take care of you Andy....you matter, everything else comes second. Prayers to you. 😊
I live in Fla too - but didn't have any damage. Have been watching u guys since right after Alex joined Andy & will surely miss Andy, but so glad to know he will be returning! Hope u guys find a good place to continue - God Bless!
Andy, sending you good energy as you make your way through your struggles. We will be here if and when you come back.
I'm so sorry about the loss of your studio. Take all the time you need to take care of your mental and physical health. You've grown an amazing channel and we'll be here for you.
I started watching you guys during the Covid lock down. I have really enjoyed watching a couple of younger guys discovering and enjoying much of the music of my youth, from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. I will stick around for Alex’s reactions and wish the very best to the both of you in whatever the future brings.
❤ I’ll keep watching and look forward to Andy coming back.
Andy - thanks for sharing your story with us, and we are all supporting you in your mental health journey. It’s no different than having to take time off for a surgery, or any other medical issue, but far too many people fear speaking up about their need to address a mental health issue due to the stigma surrounding it. Your courage in speaking out and sharing with us is commendable.
Love from Ireland, stay safe, recover, go again.
All the best Andy and remember your health is your wealth. Youll get there. Look forward to seeing u back in the new year. Im sure Alex will hold the fort and do you proud. God Bless ❤
Love your channel guys. Take all the time you need and come back strong. We'll be waiting for Andy 2.0!
Y’all take the time that you need. Andy, therapy is a wonderful thing. Sometimes you just need to talk it out with someone who can give you some life tools. Alex, we’re all here whenever you get things figured out. The channel belongs to you guys! We’re just here enjoying the ride. ❤ Big hug. Be well.
Like I told Jay, my brother never got the help he needed so 1st of all good for you for getting the help you need. Also good for you for doing this publicly so that others in you situation know there's no shame in needing help and they did nothing to " cause " it. Take care of yourself coz you are worthy and deserve to have as great a life as anyone could. Prayers for you and your journey. God Bless.
HUGE HUGS to you both!! Glad you are safe! Thank you for the laughs, the joys. Will be here when you decide to return. TAKE CARE OF YOU!!
Andy, as someone who has dealt with, and still am, mental health issues, I completely understand. Take the time and take care of yourself. We all love you.
Just saw Jay from Rob Squad announce the same thing today. Mental health is no joke. I wish you the best!
I’m in western NC. It’s devastation here. I feel for you. We are all struggling lately. 🙏
I am in WNC, Asheville, and I agree, we are all feeling a collective trauma. ❤
@@Cynthia_W765 Hugs to you from western Yancey. ❤️

I’m from Raleigh and I love our mountain area so much. The scenes are devastating and surreal, but I also know that Western Carolinians are hardy, resilient, adventurous, good down-to-earth can-do people and rebuilding will happen. You’ve got everyone in the state behind you.

I could tell, Andy, and have been worrying about you. You are stronger than you might believe. . .sitting next to Alex and differing from him 😊. You are in our collective prayers.
