Thought you might like some info - twenty one pilots is Tyler Joseph (singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist and producer) and Josh Dun (drums). They've been playing music together since 2011 and are from Columbus OH. They started out the old fashioned way, playing local gigs and building a fan base and self-recording/releasing music. First album under a record company was in 2013 and this song from 2015 was their first big hit and sent them into the mainstream. I'm 55 too and used to really only listen to post-punk, grunge and prog rock, and I am a huge fan of these guys. They have a lot of older fans so if you enjoy more of what you hear, you'll fit right in.
Thank you, my friend! I appreciate the info! I take notes of everything and absorb information like a sponge. I think they are amazing and from what i've learned here in the comments, there is a lot more to these fellas than I was aware of. I love that! It makes my journey even more exciting! Check out my channel, too. You may discover a lot of artists that will blow your mind. I know TOP will fit in here perfectly. Next one, Car Radio! see you in the comments! 🤘❤️🤘
Welcome to Twenty One Pilots (T0P) reactions. Here's your crash course: 1. They're one of the most dynamic bands to ever exist. They mix in all sorts of genres, and every song sounds unique. I enjoyed the first 4 songs I heard from them without realizing they were all from the same band. 2. Tyler is a brilliant songwriter and arguably a genius. Lots of depth to chew on. Also, his unique voice holds up in live performances. 3. T0P fans (the clique) show up in a big way for reactions. They're going to tell you there's a deep lore to the albums, with connected themes and symbols (like blurryface). That's true, but you don't need to dive into that right away, if at all. The songs stand on their own too. 4. Start with some early music videos, Ode to Sleep, Car Radio, and Trees (live at the Fox Theater for the last one). That'll give you a good intro to why fans adore them.
Thank you, my friend! The Clique has really helped out with tons of info and song recommendations. I'm even more excited to begin this journey now! Next one looks like Car Radio. See you in the comments 🤘❤️🤘
Enter the rabbit hole...you will not be disappointed..."Car Radio" and then "Ode to Sleep" are a typical, and perfect, diving board to jump into the hole with. There are no bad songs.
Love these two guys so much. The lead singer plays piano, bass, and uke too. He writes all their lyrics and controls their vision to a T. So unique and really does whatever the heck he likes when it comes to their music and shows. Their album coming out in May wraps up a decade long story arc! We’re all waiting with bated breath. 😂. I suggest Ode to Sleep. It’s an older song but shows their origin story. I’ve seen them live many times and I’ve never seen a better show. And all this coming from someone who used to live and breathe bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Chicago, Neil Young, etc…and then some 80s and 90s alt rock. I’ve left a lot of that behind for twenty one pilots. 😂
These guys write all of their songs. The first house belongs to Josh, the drummer's parents. The room is his room. Same with Tyler, lead singer. All the adults are their parents, brothers and sisters. They did 21 different handshakes. I counted them as they did them once cause I wasn't sure. These guys are extremely talented. My favorites of theirs besides Stressed Out, are..... Heathens, Chlorine, Ride (Voiceplay covered this), My Blood and Trees live at Fox Theater (a must to watch all the way to the very end). I'm 64 and still have the mindset of a kid. Those were the simpler and more fun days. You telling about your big wheel experience brought back a lot of memories. When all the kids on the street played together or hung out at each other's houses for hours on end. We knew when the street lights came on it was time to come in or go home. I had 3 older siblings and our neighborhood's favorite thing to do together at the end of the day was play Red Rover in front of our house because we lived in the middle of the street. We played for hours anytime of the year. Even in the snow Snow was awesome for hide & seek and snow ball fight barricades. We lived at the top of the hill so going to school in the winter was a lot of fun. Coming home wasn't though 😂. Now I'm disabled so my daughter takes care of me.
Thank you, my friend for sharing such awesome memories! Reminds me of my childhood as well. All the kids hung out in my front yard and we used to make up tag games and just lie on the grass looking up at the clouds or the stars. Boy, did we take that time for granted! And yes, we were outside all day except Saturday mornings for the cartoons! I'd go back in a heartbeat! I'm a caretaker myself. I the personal aide for my 91 year old mother-in-law who lives with us and my wife who is chronically ill and has been bedridden for just over four years. Take care of yourself, my friend! I'll see you in the comments on the next one!
I keep meaning to ask you… have you reacted to Aurora yet? She is an excellent artist too! “Exhale Inhale”, “Warrior”, “Churchyard”, “Through The Eyes Of A Child”, “Conqueror”, “Queendom”… I could go on😎 I think you will love her!
Thank you, my friend! I've noted every single song suggested by you and the Clique as well as all the info you all provided. Judging by the number of comments that pointed to Car Radio, I think that one will be next by consensus. Don't worry! This is just the beginning of my journey. So happy to have you with me for it. 🤘❤️🤘
I was just recently introduced to this band, this is only the second song I have heard, so I don't know much about them, but what I have heard, I really like. I have the feeling there is a lot of versatility here.
Getting some great info here in the comments. There is much more to these guys than meets the eye, apparently. Deep storytelling, concept albums, immense originality. This is going to be a fun adventure, my friend! BUCKLE UP!
I never heard of them until 2018/2019 on the album after this. I listen to a wide variety of genres and never had a favorite band. I do now! So yes, definitely listen to more!
Good morning Bill. New subscriber here. I’m a 49 year old male who listens to these guys everyday. Their music doesn’t get old. This song “stressed out” won these guys a Grammy for best vocal duo performance in 2017. I saw them in concert 2 days later in our hometown and was completely blown away. I walked out of the show thinking “holy shit what did I just witness” I tell people all the time that night changed my life. They are the best musical act I’ve seen since. Tyler(lead singer, bass, piano ukulele) all self taught on instruments. He writes all their lyrics, some are pretty deep. This was one of the big radio hits, if not the biggest. As you can see with 2.8 billion views. It’s a good song, but doesn’t scratch the surface. If you do more songs, I would recommend going from there Vessel album. Their first album under the record, label, deals a lot with mental health issues, which Tyler and Josh(drummer) both suffered from. Their lyrics are so impactful, and have actually saved. Many peoples lives. Almost every song from that album is about depression, anxiety, mental health, bad thoughts, and even taking one’s own life. Tyler reference is a lot that the nighttime is bad for him, and the daytime is better, because he has just slipped off all the negative thoughts he had that built up during the day. Anyway, I would recommend car radio, migraine, ode to sleep, or Guns for Hands. Appreciate your time reading this, looking forward to more.
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub! I am all in on these guys! I feature quite a few artists that have poured their depression, chronic illness, mental health issues into their music. Please feel free to browse me channel and check out some acts especially Ren, Chinchilla, and Asaf Avidan. But there are so many that are just brilliant! I am very happy to have TOP here. They are amazing! I appreciate the info and the recommendations. I take note of all things for the long journey ahead. There definitely will be much more! See you in the comments! 🤘❤️🤘
There’s a big crossover between Ren fans and TØP fans.. he even references them and this song stressed out in one of his song. Turning the mental health stuff that bothers so many people and into something positive sounding with magical lyrics is truly art. These guys do that. Also Chester Bennington of Lincoln Park fame was a huge fan of these guys and there are videos of him singing their songs.. pretty cool
My teenaged daughter introduced me to this band about a decade ago. She would play their music while in the car as I drove her everywhere. I loved the music, and the song "Car Radio" grabbed my soul and I jumped down the rabbit hole with two feet! These guys are brilliant! Know that there is symbolism, metaphors and meaning in everything -- the lyrics, the videos, the colors. Even the black on his hands and neck symbolize Tyler's insecurities in his singing and his writing, but also represents the control of Blurryface, also known as Nico, one of the Bishops of the lore. The lore has been going on though many years and multiple albums. You are late to the party, but it is never too late to catch up. They just released two videos that must be watched in order ("I am Clancy" and then "Overcompensate"). One helps to briefly explain the lore in 4 minutes, the second one is the first song off their new album which drops in May. I highly suggest some binge watching/listening. The next album, called "Clancy" will be the conclusion to the lore, so you won't want to be left out. You will enjoy the ride and will have a lot of material for reaction videos. I subscribed today hoping you'll join those of us down the rabbit hole.
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub and you won't be disappointed! I've been taking notes of every aspect of TOP from you and the rest here in the comments so I can do justice to these amazing storytellers. There will be much more coming your way! 🤘❤️🤘
I subscribed just because you said you loved it before the first chorus even finished! Please take the Twenty Øne Pilots journey. You will absolutely enjoy the entire ride. Your channel will do well also, trust us! 😁 I would recommend "Ode to Sleep" official video, Car Radio, and Migraine. But you honestly cant go wrong with any TØP song choice!✌️🤟
Thank you, my friend! I do plan on taking this journey and you and the Clique have helped me out tremendously. I've grown to love and respect these guys even more now that I've been given the 411 on them. This is going to be fun!! 🤘❤️🤘
New subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I'm big fan of TØP, aka "clique" (that's how they call the fans) and i loved the reaction!! Keep going, they are great. Next reaction: Car Radio. take care, hugs from 🇧🇷
Thank you, my friend! Thanks for the sub and the additional information. I really appreciate both! I love these guys! I love storytelling and I support those who sing about mental health and chronic illness issues. Yes, Car Radio will be next and much much more after that! See you on the next one! Cheers from NY❤️
So, Blurryface is an alterego of Tyler (The singer). There's a whole lore story revolving around their music that started coming out with the Blurryface album. Each of the symbols on the front represent a different "Bishop", and each Bishop represents a different mental illness, if I recall correctly. Certain videos are lore videos, so they might not make sense without that background. But the order of the lore videos is Heavydirtysoul, Jumpsuit, Nico And The Niners, Levitate, Saturday, The Outside, then the newest song Overcompensate. There's also a video called I Am Clancy tthat gives a brief overview of the story. It's also confirmed that every song off Clancy(The new album) will be getting a video. But yeah. T.O.P. is definitely worth the rabbit hole delve. They deal a lot with fighting against depression and anxiety and other mental illnesses in their music, and always with the message of "Stay Alive".
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate all the info- it helps plan my journey into this amazing band. There will be a whole lot of TOP on my show! Hope too see you on the next one! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill you're very welcome! And I will most certainly be there for the next one! And as you go, don't be too worried about figuring out specific meanings to most, if not all the songs. They're written as such to have different meanings to different people. So what you get from the song might be different from what I might, and both meanings could be correct. Same with the lore stuff. I agree with one of the other commentors, that the songs stand on their own, and knowing the lore isn't strictly necessary. But if the lore interests you, then believe you me. You'll have a lot of help making sense of it once the clique shows up. Also, outside of the lore stuff, I've got some personal recommendations of my own. A few of them are ones that you'll probably see a lot of other people recommend too. By album, they are: Self titled: Implicit Demand for Proof Addict with a Pen (UG studios location version.) Trapdoor Friend, Please Isle of Flightless Birds (I put Trapdoor and Friend, Please in that specific order, as to me, they are a pair. One compliments the other as a sort of call and response, Trapdoor being first, the call, and Friend, Please the response.) Vessel: Ode to Sleep Migraine Car Radio Guns For Hands Truce Blurryface: Lane Boy The Judge Hometown Goner(fox theater version) Trench: Morph My Blood Chlorine Neon Gravestones Scaled And Icy: Choker No Chances Redecorate And a couple of asides: The cover of Elvis's Can't Help Falling In Love The cover of MCR's Cancer
There's nothing old about any of their songs... they transcend time and space and will invade your brain (in a great way). You should also check out some of Tyler's songs from before Twenty One Pilots.
Hey Bill! Love Tyler and Josh! They have a new album coming out soon too. I will never get sick of them and every album is excellent! Time for a deep dive 😎✨✌️✨
1:08 OMG!!! I did the same thing as a kid, similar scenario with a big hill half a block away! 😂 Loved your reaction! I really hope you dig into more of their music. I’m a 48 year old fanboy who discovered them in 2016 lol. Heard a song on the radio and went “well damn, who was that?! I absolutely love this song!” (It was Holding on to You.) I spent the next month listening to nothing but TøP and was hooked for life lol. I’ve been to 3 of their shows, they’re absolutely incredible live. Anyway, consider me subscribed! I recommend you check out a few of their earlier songs (listed below) before you start digging into the lore - it’ll give you a better framework for their key topics before you get lost in the metaphorical world that is Trench! 😂 Ode to Sleep Car Radio Migraine Guns for Hands Holding on to You
🤣🤣Of course you would end up with a flat spot on your brake wheel and then you have to deal with the 'da-dap, da-dap, da-dap and you rolled down the street because of it! Those were the best of times, my friend!
Oh man, I’m here for this! TØP is one of my favorite bands ever. I subbed because of your Gorran Kendall reaction, but I’m so excited for you to delve into Tyler (vocals, writing, production) and Josh (drums). Blurryface (which this song is on) is the first of their concept albums. Thematically, it’s about the character named Blurryface who represents Tyler’s anxiety, depression, and struggle with mental health. Between Blurryface and Trench, they literally disappeared from the public and announced Trench through an amazing online scavenger hunt type thing. In Trench, they give Blurryface a name as a separate entity. You have to watch Dema trilogy videos in this order: Heavydirtysoul (on Blurryface), then Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, and Levitate (all from Trench). My favorite songs and of theirs: Car Radio (absolute favorite because music is also my escape mechanism), Lane Boy, Not Today, and Neon Gravestones. You’ve probably already heard Heathens and didn’t know it was them. You HAVE to react to Trees (Live) and the Ode to Sleep music videos, too! They just released a new single called Overcompensate to announce their new album, Clancy, also set in the world of “Trench” and the dystopian city of Dema. They did a cryptic scavenger hunt thing with this one, too. Overall, they don’t just make music but are also world builders and storytellers.
Well, my friend, if this song, their sound and their personalities hadn't won me over (they did), your comment certainly did! Your time was not wasted here. I take detailed notes and write down all the suggestions from the comments to plot my course on this adventure. Happy to have you onboard for the journey, my friend! Thank you a million times over! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill You’re in for a TREAT! 🫶 And if you get through the Trench Dema trilogy, and you’re hooked on the world and story… the order you need to continue: Chlorine (it’ll make sense later, not necessary for story but it gives some insight), then off Scaled and Icy album: Shy Away (livestream version), Saturday, and The Outside. THEN: watch the “I am Clancy” summary of the story so far, THEN their new single “Overcompensate” which is leading us into the new album out on May 17, you’re literally popping in as we fans are analyzing the shit out of the weird and jarring Scaled and Icy album which deviated from the expectated sound of tøp to figure out how it fits in now that we know for sure it actually did. (They even mentioned an older album, Vessel, in the lead in summary of the new album and I’m over here freaking out that we’ve all missed something for a decade!) Pay attention to color schemes 😉
Just found you, subbed directly. My favourite band, just followed by Rammstein and Linkin Park. Happy to follow you on your TØP journey. I’m 56 and today have spent nearly $800 to see them for four shows next year in Europe.
Just subbed for more TØP!! Car Radio is a good one to do next. The Skeletøn clique (that’s what Tyler has named us😉) thanks u for going down this rabbit hole! hope u continue! |-/
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub- you wont be disappointed. I'm very excited to start this journey! Happy to have the Skeleton Clique here to support! Car Radio will be next 🤘❤️🤘
Metal girl here. But the older I get (52)the more my taste in music broadens, and Twenty One Pilots is one of my favourite bands. Seen them live only once sadly but very fortunate to have done so. They are fantastic geniuses. Recommend you to see/hear more from them, I'd follow that journey. Big hugs from Sweden.
Oh shoot I was going to suggest seeing them on this tour but I've seen they're not going to any Nordic countries. I hope they add some closer to you! Both Emotional Roadshow and Bandito tours were a year long, and dates got added as they went along.
@@BemusingBill I suggest reacting to the "Trench trilogy" in order, Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, and and Levitate- in order. Even if you don't delve into the lore, the overall story theme can be summarized down. Technically, Heavy dirty soul comes before Jumpsuit. And after Levitate, because it's a loop basically describing how you can climb your way up out of depression and anxiety, but eventually might get sucked back in.
Are you ready to set sail on a new adventure? I am so looking forward to discovering more from this band. I happy to take this journey with you mate! Cheers! 🤘❤️🤘
@@knightspearhead5718 yay, 2010 and boy band sounds like terrifying combo. Probably more younger people are familiar with them. Thay reminds me of blink 182 and green day - mid/late 90s,early 2000 but somehow more serious.
I wouldn’t consider them a “big band” first off there are only 2 members. And only 1 sings. They are a duo, and definitely worth checking out. I’m a 49 year old male who’s daughter to him to there concert 8 years ago and was completely blown away. Been a huge fan ever since. My fav music act today hands down
I'm from Brazil and I'm so excited for your reactions to this Twenty One Pilots song. Please do more. Your reactions and commentaries are so good, and your English is easy to understand. Thanks! One more subscriber
Very enjoyable! Here for twenty one pilots. Stressed Out is their most well known song.. im surprised you haven't heard it. They have two knew songs out in the last couple months, album coming in May. Pick any song.
I listen to a fairly wide variety of genres, although the only metal would be Industrial metal (Ministry, NIN etc.) Industrial, EBM, goth, alternative rock, post punk are probably the genres I listen to the most. I'm a few months shy of 52, never had a favorite band, but shortly after hearing tøp in 2018 I got pulled in and now I do! They're touring starting this fall, and I highly suggest seeing them. Out of 100+ concerts I had a top 10 but no single favorite. The first time I saw tøp went straight to number 1, and was one of the best nights of my life. Tickets are steep, although cheaper compared to a lot of big name artists. I always do the pit, although at the back, because I'd rather have elbow room and enjoy the music than get smushed in. Back of the pit is still roughly center court or back a little from there, and can see the whole stage just fine. If you do decide to go, I would suggest waiting awhile to get tickets especially if you have to get them from a reseller. They'll charge an arm and a leg now, but prices will drop. There are always tickets left on resell sites even the week leading up to the show.
Loved your reaction. I think they are musical geniuses, so think you may enjoy listening to many more of their songs. They are genre bending, some of their songs have several change ups in the one song. I’d think you would enjoy reacting to Ride next, probably their second biggest hit after this one. They sing a lot about mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Many of their fans will tell you that their music saved their lives. Subscribed for more!
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub and the recommendations! I'm very excited to start this journey and happy to have you and the Clique here with me. 🤘❤️🤘
Welcome to the clique, Bill! I’m loving your TØP reactions but also think you could probably get a gig reading audiobooks! You have a nice voice for it and it’s very soothing when you read the lyrics.
ua-cam.com/play/PL8PxKaHjtNW_edVFirkf3gleH4OInQVP9.html&si=JPE3Z-cHCPrz7W5O playlist i made in a unique order that weaves through all the albums and videos. Have fun
We are going to have to rename you Alice because you are about to enter the Rabbit Hole. He’s a great writer. The greatest writers can write a song for themselves that everyone thinks is for them. I love the double entendre on the “Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the latter. (Ladder…. For the treehouse)
Loved your reaction…love seeing how much us older ones 😅😂. Love these guys. Welcome to the twenty one pilots ride. I think as a musician you’re really going to appreciate these two. You really got the lyrics. Look forward to more & your just in time for the release of their latest album
Uncle Bill!!! ❤❤❤❤ love you and aunt Nancy’s face. I wish I could watch more of your videos, but we watch the same things and you know there were the same. We can’t watch it and then react before hand.😂
My darling!! We LOVE your face!! Yeah, I know we have that issue 😁but that's the biz, right? When I see you've done a song I've already done I try to jump on there to watch. You're doing great though! Keep up the awesomeness. ❤️❤️❤️
Loved your reaction! I hope you can continue this journey cause I absolutely love these guys and always want to more people discover how good they are!! Til this day, I feel touched and inspired by them. They really helped me a bunch of times to get out of a bad mind place and move forward, this is how impactfull their art is!
Thank you, my friend! I've taken note of every song recommendation and filled up my brain with all that is TOP. Very excited to start this journey! See you on the next one! 🤘❤️🤘
🤣No, my friend. It was called Albion Oval. Named after the white cliffs of Albion (nah, I have no idea why 😉) but it sure tore up a lot of my pants and elbows back in the day!
Could you check out Lana Del Rey? She is the most interesting artist, very authentic, with great songwriting talent, and a divine voice… Recently, I am very into her latest album Tunnel under Ocean blvd, you could see if you like the title song, or maybe A&W…
I've heard of her and I think she was hanging out with Taylor Swift at the Grammy's this year, but I can't honestly say I've heard any of her songs. Thank you, my friend! I'll have to check her out. I found the videos but I see another song that has caught my eye: Chemtrails over the County Club. I'm intrigued!!
@@BemusingBill Chemtrails are also cool… you can’t miss with miss Lana 😉 Taylor actually always praises Lana as one of the biggest influences in the music industry in the last decade. She has a lot of albums and is very versitile, I hope you like it, looking forward to the reaction 👍🏻

Yes to everything above!
Thank you, my friend! I appreciate all the info. It helps going forward which I plan to do. TOP and their fans have a home here on my show! 🤘❤️🤘
Subscribed - more twenty one pilots please!
Thank you for that! Much more on the way! 🤘❤️🤘
Love these two guys so much. The lead singer plays piano, bass, and uke too. He writes all their lyrics and controls their vision to a T.

I’ll sub for more Pilots!✌️😊🌼
Thank you! You got it, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
These guys write all of their songs.
The first house belongs to Josh, the drummer's parents. The room is his room. Same with Tyler, lead singer.
All the adults are their parents, brothers and sisters.
They did 21 different handshakes. I counted them as they did them once cause I wasn't sure.
These guys are extremely talented.
My favorites of theirs besides Stressed Out, are.....
Heathens, Chlorine, Ride (Voiceplay covered this), My Blood and Trees live at Fox Theater (a must to watch all the way to the very end).
I'm 64 and still have the mindset of a kid.
Those were the simpler and more fun days. You telling about your big wheel experience brought back a lot of memories.
When all the kids on the street played together or hung out at each other's houses for hours on end. We knew when the street lights came on it was time to come in or go home.
I had 3 older siblings and our neighborhood's favorite thing to do together at the end of the day was play Red Rover in front of our house because we lived in the middle of the street. We played for hours anytime of the year. Even in the snow
Snow was awesome for hide & seek and snow ball fight barricades.
We lived at the top of the hill so going to school in the winter was a lot of fun. Coming home wasn't though 😂.
Now I'm disabled so my daughter takes care of me.
Thank you, my friend for sharing such awesome memories! Reminds me of my childhood as well. All the kids hung out in my front yard and we used to make up tag games and just lie on the grass looking up at the clouds or the stars. Boy, did we take that time for granted! And yes, we were outside all day except Saturday mornings for the cartoons! I'd go back in a heartbeat!
I'm a caretaker myself. I the personal aide for my 91 year old mother-in-law who lives with us and my wife who is chronically ill and has been bedridden for just over four years. Take care of yourself, my friend! I'll see you in the comments on the next one!
I keep meaning to ask you… have you reacted to Aurora yet? She is an excellent artist too!
“Exhale Inhale”, “Warrior”, “Churchyard”, “Through The Eyes Of A Child”, “Conqueror”, “Queendom”… I could go on😎
I think you will love her!
I have not heard of her, I don't believe. But I've taken notes on your recommendations. Thank you! 🤘❤️🤘
Ode to sleep is a great place to start with Twenty One Pilots.... Definitely worth checking out!
Agreed
Thank you, my friend! I've noted every single song suggested by you and the Clique as well as all the info you all provided. Judging by the number of comments that pointed to Car Radio, I think that one will be next by consensus. Don't worry! This is just the beginning of my journey. So happy to have you with me for it. 🤘❤️🤘
I was just recently introduced to this band, this is only the second song I have heard, so I don't know much about them, but what I have heard, I really like. I have the feeling there is a lot of versatility here.
Getting some great info here in the comments. There is much more to these guys than meets the eye, apparently. Deep storytelling, concept albums, immense originality. This is going to be a fun adventure, my friend! BUCKLE UP!
@@BemusingBill i just subscribed can't wait for more :D
Welcome to the clique 😊
I love this song, so I'm not sure *why* I don't know much about the band. I need to check out more of their stuff! ❤
Same here! I tell you this, I'm definitely checking our more of their stuff! ❤️
I never heard of them until 2018/2019 on the album after this. I listen to a wide variety of genres and never had a favorite band. I do now! So yes, definitely listen to more!
Good morning Bill. New subscriber here. I’m a 49 year old male who listens to these guys everyday. Their music doesn’t get old. This song “stressed out” won these guys a Grammy for best vocal duo performance in 2017. I saw them in concert 2 days later in our hometown and was completely blown away. I walked out of the show thinking “holy shit what did I just witness” I tell people all the time that night changed my life. They are the best musical act I’ve seen since. Tyler(lead singer, bass, piano ukulele) all self taught on instruments. He writes all their lyrics, some are pretty deep. This was one of the big radio hits, if not the biggest. As you can see with 2.8 billion views. It’s a good song, but doesn’t scratch the surface. If you do more songs, I would recommend going from there Vessel album. Their first album under the record, label, deals a lot with mental health issues, which Tyler and Josh(drummer) both suffered from. Their lyrics are so impactful, and have actually saved. Many peoples lives. Almost every song from that album is about depression, anxiety, mental health, bad thoughts, and even taking one’s own life. Tyler reference is a lot that the nighttime is bad for him, and the daytime is better, because he has just slipped off all the negative thoughts he had that built up during the day. Anyway, I would recommend car radio, migraine, ode to sleep, or Guns for Hands. Appreciate your time reading this, looking forward to more.
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub! I am all in on these guys! I feature quite a few artists that have poured their depression, chronic illness, mental health issues into their music. Please feel free to browse me channel and check out some acts especially Ren, Chinchilla, and Asaf Avidan. But there are so many that are just brilliant! I am very happy to have TOP here. They are amazing! I appreciate the info and the recommendations. I take note of all things for the long journey ahead. There definitely will be much more! See you in the comments! 🤘❤️🤘
There’s a big crossover between Ren fans and TØP fans.. he even references them and this song stressed out in one of his song. Turning the mental health stuff that bothers so many people and into something positive sounding with magical lyrics is truly art. These guys do that. Also Chester Bennington of Lincoln Park fame was a huge fan of these guys and there are videos of him singing their songs.. pretty cool
Great reaction! I love top! I’d agree with others saying to check out Car Radio or Ode to Sleep. I think you’d also enjoy Jumpsuit a lot.
Thank you, my friend! Yes, I agree as well- likely Car Radio next. I'll add Jumpsuit to the list! 🤘❤️🤘
My teenaged daughter introduced me to this band about a decade ago. She would play their music while in the car as I drove her everywhere. I loved the music, and the song "Car Radio" grabbed my soul and I jumped down the rabbit hole with two feet! These guys are brilliant! Know that there is symbolism, metaphors and meaning in everything -- the lyrics, the videos, the colors. Even the black on his hands and neck symbolize Tyler's insecurities in his singing and his writing, but also represents the control of Blurryface, also known as Nico, one of the Bishops of the lore. The lore has been going on though many years and multiple albums. You are late to the party, but it is never too late to catch up. They just released two videos that must be watched in order ("I am Clancy" and then "Overcompensate"). One helps to briefly explain the lore in 4 minutes, the second one is the first song off their new album which drops in May. I highly suggest some binge watching/listening. The next album, called "Clancy" will be the conclusion to the lore, so you won't want to be left out. You will enjoy the ride and will have a lot of material for reaction videos. I subscribed today hoping you'll join those of us down the rabbit hole.
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub and you won't be disappointed! I've been taking notes of every aspect of TOP from you and the rest here in the comments so I can do justice to these amazing storytellers. There will be much more coming your way! 🤘❤️🤘
awesome
@@BemusingBill
I subscribed just because you said you loved it before the first chorus even finished! Please take the Twenty Øne Pilots journey. You will absolutely enjoy the entire ride. Your channel will do well also, trust us! 😁
I would recommend "Ode to Sleep" official video, Car Radio, and Migraine.
But you honestly cant go wrong with any TØP song choice!✌️🤟
Thank you, my friend! I do plan on taking this journey and you and the Clique have helped me out tremendously. I've grown to love and respect these guys even more now that I've been given the 411 on them. This is going to be fun!! 🤘❤️🤘
New subscriber here 🙋🏽♀️ I'm big fan of TØP, aka "clique" (that's how they call the fans) and i loved the reaction!! Keep going, they are great.
Next reaction: Car Radio.
take care, hugs from 🇧🇷
Thank you, my friend! Thanks for the sub and the additional information. I really appreciate both! I love these guys! I love storytelling and I support those who sing about mental health and chronic illness issues. Yes, Car Radio will be next and much much more after that! See you on the next one! Cheers from NY❤️
So, Blurryface is an alterego of Tyler (The singer). There's a whole lore story revolving around their music that started coming out with the Blurryface album. Each of the symbols on the front represent a different "Bishop", and each Bishop represents a different mental illness, if I recall correctly.
Certain videos are lore videos, so they might not make sense without that background. But the order of the lore videos is Heavydirtysoul, Jumpsuit, Nico And The Niners, Levitate, Saturday, The Outside, then the newest song Overcompensate. There's also a video called I Am Clancy tthat gives a brief overview of the story. It's also confirmed that every song off Clancy(The new album) will be getting a video.
But yeah. T.O.P. is definitely worth the rabbit hole delve. They deal a lot with fighting against depression and anxiety and other mental illnesses in their music, and always with the message of "Stay Alive".
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate all the info- it helps plan my journey into this amazing band. There will be a whole lot of TOP on my show! Hope too see you on the next one! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill you're very welcome! And I will most certainly be there for the next one! And as you go, don't be too worried about figuring out specific meanings to most, if not all the songs. They're written as such to have different meanings to different people. So what you get from the song might be different from what I might, and both meanings could be correct. Same with the lore stuff. I agree with one of the other commentors, that the songs stand on their own, and knowing the lore isn't strictly necessary. But if the lore interests you, then believe you me. You'll have a lot of help making sense of it once the clique shows up.
Also, outside of the lore stuff, I've got some personal recommendations of my own. A few of them are ones that you'll probably see a lot of other people recommend too.
By album, they are:
Self titled:
Implicit Demand for Proof
Addict with a Pen (UG studios location version.)
Trapdoor
Friend, Please
Isle of Flightless Birds
(I put Trapdoor and Friend, Please in that specific order, as to me, they are a pair. One compliments the other as a sort of call and response, Trapdoor being first, the call, and Friend, Please the response.)
Vessel:
Ode to Sleep
Migraine
Car Radio
Guns For Hands
Truce
Blurryface:
Lane Boy
The Judge
Hometown
Goner(fox theater version)
Trench:
Morph
My Blood
Chlorine
Neon Gravestones
Scaled And Icy:
Choker
No Chances
Redecorate
And a couple of asides:
The cover of Elvis's Can't Help Falling In Love
The cover of MCR's Cancer
"Good Ol' Days" reminds me of All In The Family theme song. Good song
Gee our old LaSalle ran great!
Those were the days!
EDITH!!!!!
There's nothing old about any of their songs... they transcend time and space and will invade your brain (in a great way).
You should also check out some of Tyler's songs from before Twenty One Pilots.
I like when my brain gets invaded by great music. Much better than anything else the world throws at it. Thank you for the suggestion my brother! 🤘❤️🤘
Hey Bill! Love Tyler and Josh! They have a new album coming out soon too. I will never get sick of them and every album is excellent! Time for a deep dive 😎✨✌️✨
I've got a lot of catching up to do! I'm excited for the journey! 🤘❤️🤘
These guys are incredible,a few i like are -Lane Boy-Chlorine-Heathens-HeavyDirtySoul but you could prob pick at random and enjoy :)
Thank you, Sick Boi fan! I've got a list so far and a lot of great info, too. More to come! 🤘❤️🤘
1:08 OMG!!! I did the same thing as a kid, similar scenario with a big hill half a block away! 😂
Loved your reaction! I really hope you dig into more of their music. I’m a 48 year old fanboy who discovered them in 2016 lol. Heard a song on the radio and went “well damn, who was that?! I absolutely love this song!” (It was Holding on to You.)
I spent the next month listening to nothing but TøP and was hooked for life lol. I’ve been to 3 of their shows, they’re absolutely incredible live.
Anyway, consider me subscribed! I recommend you check out a few of their earlier songs (listed below) before you start digging into the lore - it’ll give you a better framework for their key topics before you get lost in the metaphorical world that is Trench! 😂
Ode to Sleep
Car Radio
Migraine
Guns for Hands
Holding on to You
🤣🤣Of course you would end up with a flat spot on your brake wheel and then you have to deal with the 'da-dap, da-dap, da-dap and you rolled down the street because of it! Those were the best of times, my friend!
Oh man, I’m here for this! TØP is one of my favorite bands ever. I subbed because of your Gorran Kendall reaction, but I’m so excited for you to delve into Tyler (vocals, writing, production) and Josh (drums).
Blurryface (which this song is on) is the first of their concept albums. Thematically, it’s about the character named Blurryface who represents Tyler’s anxiety, depression, and struggle with mental health. Between Blurryface and Trench, they literally disappeared from the public and announced Trench through an amazing online scavenger hunt type thing. In Trench, they give Blurryface a name as a separate entity.
You have to watch Dema trilogy videos in this order: Heavydirtysoul (on Blurryface), then Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, and Levitate (all from Trench).
My favorite songs and of theirs: Car Radio (absolute favorite because music is also my escape mechanism), Lane Boy, Not Today, and Neon Gravestones. You’ve probably already heard Heathens and didn’t know it was them. You HAVE to react to Trees (Live) and the Ode to Sleep music videos, too!
They just released a new single called Overcompensate to announce their new album, Clancy, also set in the world of “Trench” and the dystopian city of Dema. They did a cryptic scavenger hunt thing with this one, too.
Overall, they don’t just make music but are also world builders and storytellers.
Well, my friend, if this song, their sound and their personalities hadn't won me over (they did), your comment certainly did! Your time was not wasted here. I take detailed notes and write down all the suggestions from the comments to plot my course on this adventure. Happy to have you onboard for the journey, my friend! Thank you a million times over! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill You’re in for a TREAT! 🫶 And if you get through the Trench Dema trilogy, and you’re hooked on the world and story… the order you need to continue: Chlorine (it’ll make sense later, not necessary for story but it gives some insight), then off Scaled and Icy album: Shy Away (livestream version), Saturday, and The Outside.
THEN: watch the “I am Clancy” summary of the story so far, THEN their new single “Overcompensate” which is leading us into the new album out on May 17, you’re literally popping in as we fans are analyzing the shit out of the weird and jarring Scaled and Icy album which deviated from the expectated sound of tøp to figure out how it fits in now that we know for sure it actually did. (They even mentioned an older album, Vessel, in the lead in summary of the new album and I’m over here freaking out that we’ve all missed something for a decade!)
Pay attention to color schemes 😉
Love them, and you did a GREAT commentary. 😀Thank you!
Another reactor who reacts them a LOT, is Game t Changer ( @gametchanger ).
Thank you, my friend! I love these guys!
I haven't heard of that reactor. Sometimes I have to see the face.
Please do more TOP!
You got it Meow Meow! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill can I throw in some suggestions for your list… Lane Boy, ode to Sleep and MyBlood. Just a few . ✌🏻
Just found you, subbed directly. My favourite band, just followed by Rammstein and Linkin Park. Happy to follow you on your TØP journey. I’m 56 and today have spent nearly $800 to see them for four shows next year in Europe.
Just subbed for more TØP!! Car Radio is a good one to do next. The Skeletøn clique (that’s what Tyler has named us😉) thanks u for going down this rabbit hole! hope u continue! |-/
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub- you wont be disappointed. I'm very excited to start this journey! Happy to have the Skeleton Clique here to support! Car Radio will be next 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill sweet! Ty! |-/
Metal girl here. But the older I get (52)the more my taste in music broadens, and Twenty One Pilots is one of my favourite bands. Seen them live only once sadly but very fortunate to have done so. They are fantastic geniuses. Recommend you to see/hear more from them, I'd follow that journey. Big hugs from Sweden.
Tack min van! Oh, I am definitely taking this journey. Happy to have you along for the ride! Hugs back at you from NY ❤️
Oh shoot I was going to suggest seeing them on this tour but I've seen they're not going to any Nordic countries. I hope they add some closer to you! Both Emotional Roadshow and Bandito tours were a year long, and dates got added as they went along.
Also… you should react to Nico And The Niners, from the album Trench! You’re going to love Twenty One Pilots ✌️
I already do and only from one song!!
@@BemusingBill I suggest reacting to the "Trench trilogy" in order, Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, and and Levitate- in order. Even if you don't delve into the lore, the overall story theme can be summarized down. Technically, Heavy dirty soul comes before Jumpsuit. And after Levitate, because it's a loop basically describing how you can climb your way up out of depression and anxiety, but eventually might get sucked back in.
I know nothing about this band, but I'm happy discovering them with you mate. Cheers
They they were quite popular in the western states at least in the mid 2010s. They are considered a "boy band" one of the few of them i like
Are you ready to set sail on a new adventure? I am so looking forward to discovering more from this band. I happy to take this journey with you mate! Cheers! 🤘❤️🤘
@@knightspearhead5718 yay, 2010 and boy band sounds like terrifying combo. Probably more younger people are familiar with them.
Thay reminds me of blink 182 and green day - mid/late 90s,early 2000 but somehow more serious.
@@BemusingBill I'm intrigued to hear and learn more about them
I wouldn’t consider them a “big band” first off there are only 2 members. And only 1 sings. They are a duo, and definitely worth checking out. I’m a 49 year old male who’s daughter to him to there concert 8 years ago and was completely blown away. Been a huge fan ever since. My fav music act today hands down
Love the reaction as well...I subbed...if you like lyrics and great music, these guys are for you...and I am here for it.
Thank you! I really appreciate the sub, my friend! I'm all about the lyrics and great storytelling! Much more to come 🤘❤️🤘
I'm from Brazil and I'm so excited for your reactions to this Twenty One Pilots song. Please do more. Your reactions and commentaries are so good, and your English is easy to understand. Thanks! One more subscriber
Obrigado! I really appreciate that, my friend. Much more TOP on it's way!
As a fellow Priest fan, I feel like you're going to enjoy their discography a lot. 🤘
Cool! 🤘❤️🤘The journey begins!
Very enjoyable! Here for twenty one pilots. Stressed Out is their most well known song.. im surprised you haven't heard it.
They have two knew songs out in the last couple months, album coming in May. Pick any song.
I listen to a fairly wide variety of genres, although the only metal would be Industrial metal (Ministry, NIN etc.) Industrial, EBM, goth, alternative rock, post punk are probably the genres I listen to the most.
I'm a few months shy of 52, never had a favorite band, but shortly after hearing tøp in 2018 I got pulled in and now I do!
They're touring starting this fall, and I highly suggest seeing them. Out of 100+ concerts I had a top 10 but no single favorite. The first time I saw tøp went straight to number 1, and was one of the best nights of my life.
Tickets are steep, although cheaper compared to a lot of big name artists. I always do the pit, although at the back, because I'd rather have elbow room and enjoy the music than get smushed in. Back of the pit is still roughly center court or back a little from there, and can see the whole stage just fine.
If you do decide to go, I would suggest waiting awhile to get tickets especially if you have to get them from a reseller. They'll charge an arm and a leg now, but prices will drop. There are always tickets left on resell sites even the week leading up to the show.
Loved your reaction. I think they are musical geniuses, so think you may enjoy listening to many more of their songs. They are genre bending, some of their songs have several change ups in the one song. I’d think you would enjoy reacting to Ride next, probably their second biggest hit after this one. They sing a lot about mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Many of their fans will tell you that their music saved their lives. Subscribed for more!
Thank you, my friend! I really appreciate the sub and the recommendations! I'm very excited to start this journey and happy to have you and the Clique here with me. 🤘❤️🤘
First time I've heard of these guys. They're great!! Thanks Bill!
I agree! Thanks for watching and checking them out. This is going to be a fun journey down this rabbit hole!
❤❤❤
Welcome to the clique, Bill! I’m loving your TØP reactions but also think you could probably get a gig reading audiobooks! You have a nice voice for it and it’s very soothing when you read the lyrics.
Thank you, very much! I'm thinking of reading some Poe and Lovecraft around Halloween. 🤘❤️🤘
ua-cam.com/play/PL8PxKaHjtNW_edVFirkf3gleH4OInQVP9.html&si=JPE3Z-cHCPrz7W5O playlist i made in a unique order that weaves through all the albums and videos. Have fun
Thank you, my friend! That's perfect! I just saved the whole thing to my library. That makes things much easier! 🤘❤️🤘
you will find out the meaning of the "Blurryface" soon haha
😁🤘❤️🤘
We are going to have to rename you Alice because you are about to enter the Rabbit Hole.
He’s a great writer. The greatest writers can write a song for themselves that everyone thinks is for them.
I love the double entendre on the “Out of student loans and treehouse homes we all would take the latter. (Ladder…. For the treehouse)
I didn't catch that double entendre. I love artists that use their brain. Btw, that's Uncle Alice 🤣.
I'm late!!!
I'm late!!!
🐰
I was sick and in and out of hospitals as a kid. I would never want to go back
That makes a lot of sense. A lot of childhoods are not filled with warm and fuzzy memories, sadly.
I love these guys so much!!! Migraine is one of my favorite songs by them! I would love you to do more.
I love those guys! I am def hooked and will be doing a lot more from TOP! Thank you! ❤️
Loved your reaction…love seeing how much us older ones 😅😂. Love these guys. Welcome to the twenty one pilots ride. I think as a musician you’re really going to appreciate these two. You really got the lyrics. Look forward to more & your just in time for the release of their latest album
Yes, I know the new one is coming ojut soon so I have my work cut out for me! Thank you, my friend! I'll see you on the next one! 🤘❤️🤘
Uncle Bill!!! ❤❤❤❤ love you and aunt Nancy’s face. I wish I could watch more of your videos, but we watch the same things and you know there were the same. We can’t watch it and then react before hand.😂
My darling!! We LOVE your face!! Yeah, I know we have that issue 😁but that's the biz, right? When I see you've done a song I've already done I try to jump on there to watch. You're doing great though! Keep up the awesomeness. ❤️❤️❤️
@@BemusingBill you too! ❤️🤘🏻🎶
Love your reactions to these guys! Just watched your reaction to Car Radio and now this. Made me subscribe!!
Thank you so much! Jumpsuit next! 🤘❤️🤘
Loved your reaction! I hope you can continue this journey cause I absolutely love these guys and always want to more people discover how good they are!! Til this day, I feel touched and inspired by them. They really helped me a bunch of times to get out of a bad mind place and move forward, this is how impactfull their art is!
I will! I love these dudes!
❤❤ new sub always here for a this journey
Thank you, my friend! Car Radio will be next!
❤ reaction! Need check more TOP videos! "ODE TO SLEEP!" explains TOP a little.
Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
Could you please react to their song “Jumpsuit”
please check out ode to sleep, car radio !
Car Radio will be next, my friend!
I think a metal dude would really like their songs heavydirtysoul, Levitate, Lane Boy, and the new one (just last week! :) Overcompensate ;)
Can't wait to hear your next reaction to 21 Pilots! :) Love seeing someone discover them for the first time ;) Welcome to the clique
Thank you, my friend! I've taken note of every song recommendation and filled up my brain with all that is TOP. Very excited to start this journey! See you on the next one! 🤘❤️🤘
And to add to that now, Next Semester. One of the several genres in the song is old school punk!
Was that hill Col. Enoch? I think I know that hill…
🤣No, my friend. It was called Albion Oval. Named after the white cliffs of Albion (nah, I have no idea why 😉) but it sure tore up a lot of my pants and elbows back in the day!
Albion Oval sounds like it should be a Tool song.
Could you check out Lana Del Rey? She is the most interesting artist, very authentic, with great songwriting talent, and a divine voice… Recently, I am very into her latest album Tunnel under Ocean blvd, you could see if you like the title song, or maybe A&W…
I've heard of her and I think she was hanging out with Taylor Swift at the Grammy's this year, but I can't honestly say I've heard any of her songs. Thank you, my friend! I'll have to check her out. I found the videos but I see another song that has caught my eye: Chemtrails over the County Club. I'm intrigued!!
@@BemusingBill Chemtrails are also cool… you can’t miss with miss Lana 😉 Taylor actually always praises Lana as one of the biggest influences in the music industry in the last decade. She has a lot of albums and is very versitile, I hope you like it, looking forward to the reaction 👍🏻
