This channel has changed my perspective in many ways.

Hang in there Syed, you're a brilliant and inspiring reactor.
Sorry to hear this. I don't blame you. Don't let the omission of the Beatles shut you down. I hope you will continue without them.
That's terrible Syed, you have such an enjoyable channel, it's one of my favorites! Sorry this is happening to you - youtube is playing dirty.
Your analyses, and your willingness to say "I don't really like this song," are refreshing. It sucks that UA-cam is so stupid about copyright. Wish I could help you but I know nothing about it, but I want to let you know I really appreciate your content, and I would like to see you continue and thrive.
Such a bummer!
First off, Syed, I want to say I love watching your reactions! Great job!
Second (and Rick Beato has talked about this at length on his channel) Blockers are cutting their own throats. These bands, who were producing music 40, 50, 60 or more years ago, are not relevant to young people today, and will be forgotten unless they are brought out and presented on platforms like this. I'm 62, so I remember a lot of this stuff from when it was on the radio, and I have a lot of the albums. But it's channels like yours that keep this stuff alive for new generations. There are so many new artists, putting out music independently these days... I if you don't want your great music to be forgotten, don't block!
Anyway, this ends up all right... Love your channel!
That’s a real shame, you’re my favorite reactor to some of the best contemporary music of the 20th century. Your intelligent comments - plus true interest in the musicians, lyrics, and the impact the song may have had at the time. I truly hope you work it out. Looking forward to your next video - good luck. 🍀👍🏼 ❤
I’m sorry about this man. I hope that you’re able to figure out a way to navigate this because you make some of the best reaction and analysis videos.
I will miss your videos. Watching your videos makes the music fun. You can get through this!
Syed, I've been a loyal follower since 5,000, Do what you can to stay on. I personally like when you showcase older bands from the 70s and 60s and there are a ton of great artists that inspired the music of today besides the Beatles and the Stones. Hang tough, perhaps this situation is a blessing for you.
Really enjoy your channel Syed, I found you falling into Led Zeppelin reactions a few weeks ago and stuck around for Pink Floyd and others…there are a lot of garbage react channels. Yours is one of the best. I hope this system changes, it astounds me that bands or record companies or whoever try to throttle channels keeping 40-50 year old music alive and engaging new young fans.
That would be a bummer. This has become my favorite reaction channel. Really enjoyed the Beggars Banquet album breakdown (in addition to lots of other tunes).
I'm one of those who found your channel and your reaction to "When the Levee Breaks" and remember thinking 'This guy gets it". Been a fan ever since. I've enjoyed the interaction with the other viewers knowing that, for the most part, they are younger. I believe we learn and grow when we can bridge the generation gap, sharing and respecting our different points of view. I've learned much from others here. I hope you can keep this going, as I've said before, you stand alone and at the top of the many who try this thing. I'll always remember you singing Rebecca Black LOL....jk
You're the man Syed. You do an awesome job. Your interpretations and analysis are quite exceptional. Even when I might disagree with certain points you make, I have respect for the intelligence, eloquence and quality of your work. Whether you want it or not my hope is in this tiny nook of the world we put all prejudices aside to enjoy life. You even got a 55-year-old classic rocker from Minnesota to go out of my comfort zone and look around to explore rap. It's still growing on me, but my respect for the genre has increased. I still can't do country though. Keep pushin on. I will remain a subscriber and wait to see what happens. Peace and love to all.
Wow - I’m another 54 year old guy from MN! Small world….
Whoops - 55!
Liz at The Charismatic Voice has also figured out a way to beat the stuff. I know there are ways but it's such a pain in the ass. Especially when you're only doing the property owners a favor. It's ridiculous.
She seems to stop every 10 seconds...rewinds...stops rewinds...
@@sirslice7531 Yep, song length 3X. I find myself constantly fast forwarding her videos to the point I have stopped watching them.
@@zonacrs And her rapidly blinking eyes makes me wonder if she "takes" anything before making a video.
Your reactions are great. Your channel is really enjoyable. Find a way to keep going.
I just discovered you last night! You better not shut down! There is plenty of great music out there to discover and show to us beyond the 'big guys'.
And yeah man, your Beatles album reactions are just fantastic, even though you don't like the early stuff in a way that I can possibly like it even though they were before my time as well, but yeah I anxiously await for when the next one will start because you're just starting to get into the really really amazing transformation era. It's just so freaking annoying that they don't realize what a favor you are doing for the property holders and instead they rape and pillage. It's just disgusting.
I am a contemporary of the Beatles and from the beginning thought they were very overrated. They have been credited with practically everything musical that happened after their arrival. I try to be an objective person and have continued to try to understand that phenomenon but have to say that when I ask others my age why they liked them so fanatically, invariably the novelty of how they looked comes into the picture. I've come to the conclusion that novelty and their Britishness, though irrelevant, had much to do with their success. The James Bond films were all the rage then, too.
@@pamelah848 well, I am a middle-aged guy and their looks had nothing to do with it for me. Part of it probably was all the hype when I was in grade school and by the time I got the junior high I started buying their early albums and work my way through their whole collection and of course a lot of that stuff you still heard on the radio. But I've been a musician my whole life and a lover of music and I absolutely loved everything I heard. This was before seeing anything but just occasional pictures in the record albums. For me it was about how amazing they sounded and how fun the early stuff was and how incredible and creative the later stuff was. I like all kinds of musics from every genre and from around the world but I still love the Beatles. I like everything they've ever done. And I can't say that about very many bands. Lynyrd Skynyrd is another one that comes to mind.
Cliff Beats claims to know how to fight UA-cam on blocks and copywrite strikes and he's reached out and volunteered to help any reactors who ask.
I hope he can give Syed advice... I don't want to see him go, I'm not the only one
I really hope you find out how to work-around the UA-cam hurdles , because, as ithers have said, yiurvreactions and thoughts are very deep, and interesting. I have really liked listening to your Beatles progression. I'm a big Beatles fan, and a couple of those songs I hadn't heard ever. Thanks!
I hope that UA-cam awakens from its stupidity, because growing, popular channels like yours help tomake them $$$!
So sorry you are having this problem with UA-cam ! Your reactions are illuminating and intersecting especially as you go out of your favourite genre to discover the fabulous music of the past. Is this the future with AI calling the shots? Frightening world we are getting into! I hope you still have a future with your Channel. You will be greatly missed if you are forced to pack up. Good luck!
Oh, no! I love your insights! They are so fresh and smart--especially re the Beatles.
I hope this channel can stay!
Really sorry to hear this Syed, for your sake and ours. If you hosted daily videos on your own website you could still receive donations via Patreon, PayPal etc, harder to grow that way but at least you'd have your independence!
Yeah- I’m a 71 year old retired pastor- you know the open minded sort and reasonably educated- “God is love” - not an entirely unattractive possibility etc. I started glomming onto these reaction videos in retirement and Sy clearly, at least in judgment, you are among the best, most interesting, generous and thoughtful commentators in this format out there. I have regularly been astounded at your capacity to see your way into lyrical content that has eluded me for decades. I’m disheartened that your channel could go away. You will always have an appreciative friend here. Hang in and at the risk of seeming overly pious, God bless
I really hope you find a solution. Your reactions are thoughtful, articulate and surprisingly on point, given that most of the music you’re examining predates you. I say this as a 69 year-old who knows this music from the first time ‘round. An unexpected pleasure for me is that you often cite things about ‘my’ music that I’ve missed all these years. I’m also delighted to rediscover my own music through you experiencing it the first time. I never saw the Beatles, but I did see the Stones, Zappa, Tull, Led Zeppelin, and quite a few others. Wishing you good luck; would hate to see you gone.
Best of luck dude. I really appreciate your videos, and at the end of the day, youtube needs to sort this shit out, because it's so inconsistent, and basically a joke, because all you're doing is promoting great music.
Not only is this destroying great content, but it's also totally alienating viewers.
Sorry to hear about this. I really enjoy your content/reactions. Yours is one of the channels that I try to watch when I see a new post. Hope to see more.....
Ugh, man YT really is messed up with how it polices this stuff. A real bummer. I hope it can work out one way or another. You're a good one, Syed. Hope you can figure out a way to keep going, especially with your top five you mentioned.
Thank you for the update. Sorry you are having these problems. I love your Beatles reactions and your honesty when you don’t like a song. I hope you get these issues fixed. If there is anything that we can do to help, please let us know. ✌️🖖
I would like to know that as well, if there is anything we can do? Write letters, But to WHOM? Telling them how important these channels are to expose young people to music from the past....it seems like You Tube WANTS this music to die, and NEVER be appreciated by the current generation and generations yet to come! I suppose they are going to go after the Classics too, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc. I am sure they would have blocked their music too, if You Tube and the internet was around during that period. It is really shameful!
Syed - hope you find a way to keep this channel going, in a way that works for you. I enjoy your reactions and thoughts on the music (classic rock) that I have enjoyed for decades. Even if you don't like it - appreciate the honesty.
Hope you can straighten it all out. I love your channel. Greetings from Kentucky!
I really enjoy your videos and commentary. (Especially Beatles) You have come a long way in the past year. I hope this can be sorted soon. Keep us informed.
I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. I jumped on with your recent Dylan videos and I'm really enjoying your commentary. I have been a Dylan fan for 25 years. I was introduced to Bob by a friend, and I remember how exciting it was to go through his catalog in depth for the first time. As a young man who was really just listening to the rock and hip-hop of the 80's/90's, diving into his art was like a music revelation for me. I really hope you will be able to keep going. I watch your other reaction videos too and its great that your bringing the depth of these classics to light, perhaps to people who never would have discovered them otherwise. Thanks for your work!
whatever happens I would just like to say I have particularly enjoyed your analysis and breakdown of the Dylan material, being someone who was there at the time it is a pleasure hearing a new take on the tracks. Hope you can continue, am a Beatles fan too, I think exposing their music to a new generation can only be a good thing, taking videos down therefore has no logic to me! Take care.
This is very unfortunate. I've been watching, and enjoying, all of your Beatles, Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd commentary; as well as much of the rest of your content. Wishing you the best.
I hope you prevail and continue to do what you feel in your heart. Like most from my generation, I'm a huge fan of both Dylan and the Beatles and I truly appreciate the insight you have shared on this channel thus far. It would be an incredible shame for you to be forced to pull the plug at this point. I hope only the best for your future endeavors.
Syed I'm so sorry. What a shame. I love your reactions. You're incredibley insightful and often help me see things I never noticed before. It's been wonderful seeing these songs, which are old friends, through new eyes. As noted by the Urban Grouse below, these channels are bringing older music to the ears of new generations who probably wouldn't listen to it otherwise. The blockers are cutting their own throats. I hope you don't give up, but if you finally do, best of luck. You'll do well in whatever you decide to do. You're articulate, insightful and a go-getter.
Maaaan!!!!I really love your Beatles analysis. Some people are still getting Beatles out there. How are you not able to? Do they pick and choose who gets Beatles?? Not fair!!!!
I wish I k we how to fix this. It’s a terrible thing to have to dance in a minefield. I hope you find a way. Awesome job on this channel. Great content. All the best Syed.
Good luck. I love your incisive reactions to the Beatles' catalog. It's nice seeing you discover what some of us have grown up with. I am also really looking forward to more Velvet Underground reactions! Le'ts hope UA-cam can work something out. There is certainly an artistic value to the work you do, and it's probably ultimately quite beneficial to the artists you are covering as well! That's one of the most frustrating elements of this. If only clearer heads would prevail!
You're not the only one that this is happening to. There are many reactors that are no longer doing music and have moved on to other venues. They were also hit with violations because of videos from the Beatles, the Who and Eagles. I commend you for doing bands music from the beginning so you can see their progression. Wish you luck.
Aww man best of luck, definitely a flaw in the system. Your analysis and takes on lyrics are very much appreciated!
Stay with it and see if you can work through this crap. I enjoy your channel and your perspective on these older songs.
Hope you figure it out, love your reactions.
Super sad that you get in trouble over The Beatles. You do such great and in depth reactions and you are open to learning and exploring. I truly believe you could be bringing this excellent music to other young people. I really hope it can be worked out. I think some of these rules are very short sighted.
Sorry to hear this. There are a lot of bands that don't block, though. Unfortunately it's the likes of the Beatles, Hendrix etc that always get blocked.
Don't risk your livelihood, though, but I hope you can still keep doing reactions to some bands, anyway. Really enjoyed this channel so far.
A lot of reactors seem to splice it down to chunks of x seconds. It is a pain in the arse, but it seems to work! Looking forward to seeing you hear the Beatles catalog .
Really enjoy your unique and distinctive reviews Syed. I hope you work this out. My son's a UA-cam creator so Ive heard a lot of the stories about how difficult it is making original content commenting on existing cultural material. You definitely "add value" to anything you comment on and that is the quality that UA-cam should respect. However the problems really come from the copyright owners who do not seem to appreciate the value added to their material by excellent UA-cam content creators like yourself...
Blockers don't want new audiences you generate to buy their music (?). You have movies to produce, and this has proven an amazing complement to your skills and knowledge. All the best, whatever you decide.
that's a drag. You were just getting to the next stage, too. Thanks for the ones you did post and I, like all the others, hope this gets worked out.
You are a fantastic creator that seems to have a great understanding of what you have been putting out here.
Seems there must be a legitimate way that ''monetizing'' can beneficial to all involved ....
Really enjoyed you. Good luck in the future! You're outstanding!
Keep rocking on Syed. Like Urban Grouse says below, these artists are blocking themselves. This is how music is living today - on line; in discussions; in revisits and reliving.
The machine just can't get enough, it seems.
Hey Syed, that's a bummer for sure. Really love what you do on this channel and hope you can find a way to keep it going! Best of luck to you :)
Figured. Just be careful. Keep your channel open. Stay smart, which we know you are. Such a minefield. Maybe try some outliers. Post the legends, without your ability to monetize, and drop in, to keep the interest. Your insights are top shelf. You're still growing. Take heart. Play the long game. There are so many amazing groups from the 60s and 70s, that trolls know little about, that can sustain you. It will take some work, but that's what you are doing already. There are enough "Musical Group Cults" that will "click" if you cover their favorites. Maybe enough. I don't know. The landscape keeps changing from year to year. We'll try to keep your back Syed.
Syed, let me be clear: you are the best at what you do.
I subscribe to a number of UA-cam channels, but yours is the only music reaction channel I subscribe to, because you have a real appreciation and a fresh perspective on rock and roll.
There's LOTS of music reaction channels, so the difficulty you're having is baffling.
I hope that your interaction with UA-cam oversight involves being able to speak with someone because that can make a big difference over only communicating in writing.
In the meantime, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm sending you a donation within the next few days. I encourage anyone who appreciates your channel to do the same.
I never imagined that a UA-cam channel would mean as much to me as yours does.
I hope things work out favorably so we'll be able to continue your rock and roll journey with you.
Syed, I'm very sorry to hear you are having problems getting your reaction videos approved. You are a favorite, I'm looking forward to Beatles/Stones/Zeppelin/Who reactions, and cannot see how your interesting and respectful reviews do anything but increase interest in old records and help the copyright holders.
I am grateful for what you do, and hope you find a way to continue. All the best.
This is terrible news. I do so enjoy your reactions to different songs😢
Good luck, I've been enjoying your insights about the music.
Talk to the channels that have been successful in uploading Beatles material. Maybe, they will be willing to share what they are doing.
This is a shame. Good luck dealing with youtube . You're quite a unique individual. You do reactions right. Everything i like, that you've reviewed, I feel you actually felt the impact of -and you've added some nice insights. I hope you're able to stay up and running.
Damn. This is what I was worried about happening.
My recommendation is post the videos on another site that's less strict about copyrights. Let us know where that is, and you'll still be building your brand there, and we'll still watch your other videos here. But then at least you'll still be able to do what you want to do without as much restriction.
Sorry to hear this Syed. Really enjoy your reactions.
One would think these old bands would love to have their music revived - they've made their money out of it! Hope you can get through this - you do an exceptional job.
Syed your classic rock videos are the best part of my day.
Good luck with this unfortunate situation. Many other reactors have been affected by similar issues. I enjoy your work and appreciate your efforts. Give ‘em hell Syed!🖖🏼
No, don’t go! At least finish the Velvet Underground albums!
That's such a shame. I really enjoy your reactions
You are one of the best reviewers out there!
Stumbled across channel when you reacted to Gimme Shelter by the Stones, great channel, hope you get things sorted.
Truly sorry my friend - you have one of the best reaction channels not just now but since I started enjoying the genre on YT like 4 years ago - I hope there are some smarter people than I and with some domain knowledge i& experience in this space and with this predicament who can offer some suggestions. For what it is worth, your content has provided me a LOT of great entertainment, you do a superlative job; hang in there. I believe in your ability to overcome this obstacle. Take it slow and think it all through, be deliberate - you should be devoted full time to this craft as you are one of the best.
Gotta start that Patreon. Even if you just make it a $1 subscription fee, some other reactors called Lost in Vegas do it that way, and it seems to be very successful
You have done well, Syed. Your comments have an approach that gives us oldies a new take on songs we've been listening to for decades.
I have noticed that some channels of reactors watch old live videos of the Beatles and always seems like they go through. Maybe also because the sound is flawed with screams and usually cut short to satisfy the blockers. Another I have seen have used segments of the music so the whole song doesn't come through to us, the viewers, it can be a bit crap but in one video you can cover more tracks. Bad trade off but still, you get to hear and comment.
Whatever, it's not happening on all bands. There's nothing from stopping you from actually listening to the albums and commenting on them.
Don't give up there are a million more good song to hear yet.✌
Sorry to hear this, Syed. I hope you can find a way to keep doing it, but I just want to say you have a real music appreciation talent here. I expect the skills and knowledge you've developed here should be transferable to other ventures, too.
What a shame. I really enjoy your channel. Your thoughts and comments about the music your share with us are well above many sites of this kind. Hope you can come up with some solution.
I would definitely miss the channel if it disappeared. I don’t really understand the attitude towards copyright in these videos anyway. Keeping this channel going is surely going to increase the artist’s exposure and chances of selling more product. I’ve collected records and CDs since I was 10 (in 1981) and If I like a track enough, I’ll end up going out and buying the album. People can become lifelong fans that way. I think it’s hugely shortsighted of UA-cam and / or record companies to restrict access to music.
Syed - you provide, by far, the most insightful reactions and I really enjoy watching your channel. Especially the ones of my favorite band in the world - Pink Floyd!! Hang in there and don’t give up the fight against UA-cam!
I posted a few videos awhile back. I put them unlisted, so they do not come up on searches. I made them for an acoustician friend, who'd done the sound design for a new theater. I did half a dozen or more videos of rehearsals and a show so he could hear how it sounded, including from a box seat where the stage monitors interfered with the room's sound. Rehearsals - live covers not ever released by the artists who performed the songs. Not even published videos, just unlisted, so I could share with the acoustics guy. Nothing Shazam would recognize. I was more than a little surprised when I got copyright notices for those. One of many instances where dealing with algorithms that make these decisions is problematic.
You provide detailed analysis, Syed. This is what "fair use" is about. If your thorough, in depth, commentary isn't "fair use", it's hard to imagine what is. I'll keep an eye out to see what you do next. (I almost never comment; I logged on especially to say this.)
Syed doesn't post the Fair Use disclaimer at the beginning of each video, not sure if it would make a difference.
We definitely don't want him to leave
@@michele-33 That's a good point, I have noticed some reactors DO post that Fair Use disclaimer, and I wonder IF that would really help Syed. I want him to be able to continue, love his commentaries.
Don't call it UA-cam, call it CensorTube
Or perhaps because of the inconsistent way it's run, call it
"Maybe You Tube".
hey dude, every Reactor has had video's taken down due to Publishers actions. Do not give up please, your intelligent reactions are a joy to be part of.
WTF is wrong with UA-cam????? Very sorry to hear this news. There seem to be some other channels that are getting Beatles content up. Wonder if you could communicate with other channels and share ideas??
Great channel Syed. You should have 10 times the subscribers, but I assume you will in the near future.
This is pure lunacy. As someone who’s never been very interested in the Beatles catalogue this a window to discovering and venturing through the music that I would be otherwise to lazy to listen to. Instead of blocking you, you should get payed for the promotion you’re giving.
I often watch your videos, good quality work. You should try doing a reaction video on a Beatles song called "Helter Skelter" off their White album. It was one of those songs that broke the mold and paved the way for future songs of this caliber.
I’m sorry you are the smartest on point reactor and I check in daily
What a bummer. I looked forward to your vids, such a shame.
I have enjoyed your reactions. I hope you find a way to keep going forward. You should also stay away from The Eagles. They're copyright protectors have kicked a few reactors off UA-cam.
Yeah, the Eagles have the worst reputation, and deservedly so. Suck shit to them really, they're just depriving future generations of their music, because they're obsessed with $ and don't understand how we consume music in these times.
Sorry to hear this
I am so sorry hear that!!! You are not the only one....other reactor have had the same problem....and You Tube have shut down several reactors......contact Jamal he will give you some advised about what to do!!!
Sorry to hear this, Syed. You're the best reactor on this platform.
Hey Syed, sorry to hear. You're running one of the best music reaction channels out there. I'm sure you have given consideration to options such as Patreon as well, for tracks more likely to get banned
I'm shocked! You have been extremely careful with your reactions. Nearly ever do you up load a live music video but I don't know how yt works either. I know you can be fined. I think yt selects certain channels and makes the job very difficult. perhaps it's certain music like the Beatles and the Eagles calling attention to you. Have you spoken with other creators on yt to discuss your way around this? I would hate to see you go so early In your career. stay strong.
There was another music reaction channel that was in the same predicament. Their solution was to put all their videos on Rumble as a backup in case they were shut down by UA-cam. Good luck to you.
I am actually surprised they were up for so long. Unfortunately, the Beatles stuff is always closed down.
Personally, the Beatles are my all-time fav. But keep doing the classic rock stuff. There's actually a lot out there that people want to hear comments about. Doors, Neil Young, Crosby Stills & Nash, etc.
Great recommendations 👍
I suggest you try to speak with Rick Beato. He has been thru this and he recently testified to a congressional committee. He may have some insights for you.
Because I'm a fan of irony, I must point out that, upon arriving for this video, the "likes" were at exactly "404," which, of course, means "Page Not Found." I immediately smashed it up to "405," LOL, so let's hope Fate goes along. Wow, I sometimes wonder if I should tone down my remarks on, say, covid controversies or climate change or what have you, since I'm often on the "wrong" side of such things, but I would really hate the constant egg-walk YOU guys have to endure with this. Good luck, and I say that for selfish reasons as well, as you and a few others especially have the coolest reaction content and deserve to keep being seen and heard. Never understood why all these peeps are against these great bands getting even more exposure and rapturous praise. Thanks for all you HAVE given us!
Something I have seen other reactors do which is FAR from perfect but should, in theory, be 100% guaranteed to avoid any issues is to link the video in the description and get the viewer to sync when they hit "play" with you so that you don't actually include any of the song. Of course you would have to do all your analysis at the end of the song as pausing it would cause sync issues but then you wouldn't have to be pausing it anyway because there would be no copyright issue.
The downside, as far as I see, is that this method kind of requires a desktop computer or laptop to work smoothly and not everyone will want to make the effort.
Ready to support you on Patreon if you end up there.
Maybe reach out to some other reaction folks for some advice. I know they’re essentially strangers but I’m sure some of these folks are super nice and approachable if you can reach them.
Unfortunately it seems like Beatles (and Hendrix is even tougher?) is a high bar. I thought Zeppelin was rough but a lot of folks react to them.
Keep going even if you need to just stay away from the danger zone artists. You're the most articulate reactor I’ve seen with your thoughtful analysis.
I've seen some who post a disclaimer before their video. Don't know if that helps or not, but couldn't hurt to try it.
