Male psychologist here.. I grew up on this music and believe an entire generation found solitude in the emotional expression of all the pain and distress their parents had no words or tools for. Drugs, divorce, death, we had no way to cope and no online communities. These metal artists SOAD, Slipknot, Korn, gave us a conduit to express the emotion we didn't even know we had. I'll forever be grateful for the connection I felt through headphones sitting in the dark alone..
i really really wanna spout back but , as you are a self pronounced mental health professional , would you not say this is a question of more what did i miss , and why was I not there ?
@@Rogers_Ranger We all miss something. Even the most balanced of upbringings and emotional subtstance can sometimes not offer what you need. I can see your question, however, we all miss something. And this music found a way into the hearts of some of us, and spoke truth in a way that was alien to whatever we had at hand at the time.I feel completely what @jessebahrke was saying. Some people need an avenue to be awoken from, and sometimes that comes trough music.
Interesting you associate SoaD, S/K and Korn - to me they are totally different. S/K I can only manage one cover version, because the cover artist does it better. My brother raves to me about Korn - but they miss me somewhere, not over the top I am sure. SoaD are great though.
This song was so controversial that the label refused to use the original name of “suicide” which forced the band to change the name to their favorite Chinese fast food. By the next year it was the most requested song on the biggest rock station in America
Yes. The band wanted to call the song "suicide" but it was deemed to be too negative. They chopped "suicide" down to "Sui"........ chopped sui............chop suey.
Taylor - your joy in watching her reactions is hilarious and awesome!! BTW - yes it’s me, the same David Gregory that suggested Pushit. Love this song too!! Keep rockin!
I always find it amazing how much music can convey a message that carries over through time. A song that I related to as a senior in high school was (showing my age) still resounds with the same message decades later. Music is powerful when depth of the message is paired with the context of a lived experience.
The UA-cam algorithm suggested your channel, and I loved seeing the discussion about what’s behind the music, beyond just the heavy sound and intense visuals. To me, it feels like a more raw (sometimes not so much) way of expressing our fears and traumas, helping us learn more about ourselves. I had so much fun watching your reactions and Olivia’s, along with the talk about the music and the video. Can’t wait for the next one! Big hugs from a fan in Brazil!
You two are a wacky lot :-D And watching Taylor having this slightly mischievous smile while glancing at Liv's reactions... priceless. And on top of that your insight on the mental health side of things and how things (might) relate. nice. Please more. its important.
I love how giddy Taylor was showing this one to Olivia. It was like watching someone show off their favorite toy. Another two songs you should check out are Flaw- Whole and Three Days Grace- I hate everything about you. Both helped me thru some tough times. Keep up the amazing work!
Same here, imagine being in argentina when everybody just listen to trap and cumbia, singing about how much "street they have and how much women and money they spend" felt alone my whole f life.
My daughter goes to school for music education ... it's surprising how many people going to college for music don't listen to a lot of music with an open mind.
@RageForSeven I was raised in a Baptist church. And then I was evangelical through Highschool... I've since come to my senses, but some things never leave you. Honestly, though, I did have to look up the verse number I only remembered Luke 23 off the top of my head
Loving the channel. Recently discovered and so happy to see how (just like me, as somebody who works with students with special needs) therapists are reacting to my favourite musicians
The way Taylor looks at Olivia in this video is the way my dog looks at me hammered at 2:30 knowing I'm about to drop food on the floor. That level of psyched.
I always assumed the "Father why have you forsaken me?" was from the Gospel of Matthew, rather than the Psalm that you referred to, it was when Jesus is on the cross and yells, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Many people call God the Father, and I think the whole martyrdom tie in fits with the songs message, but that's just my opinion.
I totally dig the reactions. It's cool watching you watch her reactions, too. Cool channel, great message, always entertaining! As I always do..screaming Motionless in White, Thoughts and Prayers! Be easy!!
Hi, I love the reaction! I would love to hear your thoughts on their song Dreaming - not one of their biggest songs, but definitely subject matter that would interest you. Thanks!
She's just hovering the whole video at the right edge like :D Did you see that? :D Did you hear that? :D She has just the best smiley face and I love it
Thankfully the UA-cam algorithm has the other video of you and your friend listening to Slipknot over there becuase I missed it and was going to ask which vid it was. Heading to that one now. She seems pretty cool. W reaction
Funny that the two songs she has reacted to so far Duality/Chop Suey were produced by Rick Rubin. And System Of A Down's first tour for this album "Toxicity" which this song is on, was with Slipknot in 2001.
It’s almost like alternative music addresses the reality of the human condition in all its crazy forms 🤔 Human expression through music when it’s real touches us. Alternative music is made in the large part by people that deeply feel that battle between the light and dark. Be it traumatic experiences , substance abuse issues or generally experiencing emotional pain more than “regular” folk. That’s why it’s so relatable and offers people going through a difficult time something that’s says ‘I know that pain’ It’s great that you have found this out. Music as part of therapy should be a more commonly practised thing
"Erratic" might be the best description I've heard of this song and it applies to a lot of great songs. That factor makes it very relatable and cathartic to people who are suffering from and/or work with depression. Calm can lead to chaos and chaos can lead to calm and there is no real warning for either state of mind. This song isn't about depression directly though. It's a story of a drug addict OD'ing. A good person with a problem and how people will look down of people who OD and not giving a single thought to the person it actually happened to. But obviously most drug abuse is connected to mental issues and escaping the reality they can't deal with. "I cry when angels 'deserve' to die".
Recently became a follower of the channel and I loved every video. Love the wisdom and perspective you add to your video. Would love you to react to comfortable by Victor Ray. Nevertheless, God bless you and all the best with your future endeavors
I'd like to recommend a band called The Warning and 3 songs in particular. 1) When I'm Alone 2) Black Holes 3) Breathe. Specifically the live versions of these songs from Pepsi Center CDMX from 2023. Put on subtitles for When I'm Alone and Breathe.
As someone who has had mental health demons for a long time (I'm ok. I wasn't for a long time but I understand myself well enough to manage my lows) the juxtaposition of constant hiding of what you feel with the moments of crying out for help is very real. The lengths I would go to be the funny and outgoing centre of the world so no-one would expect me to be in such a dark place. Only to leave hints to the world... It was like screaming for help into a pillow so no-one would notice.... To anyone that does feel that way I wish you the best. It gets easier. If it's not getting easier please either get help you definitely deserve or at the very least try something new to break the cycle of self abuse. I focused on my strengths rather than my shortcomings (and found an amazing partner in life helped). I'm still self-conscious about my shortcomings. But they're easier to swallow if you see what you do well. Be well all
So..... Fade to black -metallica Falling in reverse - last resort Five Finger Death punch - wrong side of heaven Epica -code of life Metallica - Master of puppets Linkin Park - given up And soooo many more! 😊 Together ofcourse 😊
I dunno what it is, but at times when iv been really depressed, iv really liked to listen to some depressing shit. Which made me feel better somehow. I have a recommendation for a band for some of you, its a bit niche, as the band is screaming in angst in swedish 😅. But some of the lyrics are really creativly poetic but depressing. But the you kind of feel comfort anyway. Best line is "En kraftig överdos av personliga problem( A strong overdose of personal problems" Band is called Lifelover, but most of the stuff they do is in Swedish, its black metal. They have five albums called Pulver(Powder), Dekadens, Erotik,Konkurs(bankruptcy),Sjukdom(sickness). Some of there best titles of songs are: M/s Salmonella Kärlek, Becksvart Melankoli (Love, Pich black melancholy) En man i sina värsta år (A man in his worst years) Humörets bottenvåning (The moods bottom floor) Museum of past affections Mental Central Dialog Cancertid(Cancertimes) Stängt p.g.a Semester (Closed because of vacation) Totus Anctus Bitterljuv kakofoni(Bittersweet cacophony)
Chop Suey! by System of a Down based of this verse from the bible Mark 15:34 In-Context 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
Would love to hear you’re review a place where you belong or bittersweet memories by bullet for my valentine would love to hear your thoughts about it / them 😊
please do a given up by linkin park reaction, i wouldnt spoil anything about the song because it is really a special first listening experience, i would really recommend it

@@Nick_Sandman they're like the three most popular nu-metal bands
Korn's "Right Now" also gave me this relief!
Nothing better than showing a friend something and them loving it lol
This song was so controversial that the label refused to use the original name of “suicide” which forced the band to change the name to their favorite Chinese fast food. By the next year it was the most requested song on the biggest rock station in America
Yes. The band wanted to call the song "suicide" but it was deemed to be too negative. They chopped "suicide" down to "Sui"........ chopped sui............chop suey.
You forgot the part about that radio station saying they would never play there music
Honestly not my favorite system song, not trolling, just think they have better hits, guess this one's nostalgic.
On the record it starts with Serj saying "Rolling Suicide...."
@@seanmurphy637 The record company apparently told them to chop the name. "Chop suey" was the result.
Taylor - your joy in watching her reactions is hilarious and awesome!! BTW - yes it’s me, the same David Gregory that suggested Pushit. Love this song too!! Keep rockin!
David!!! So glad you're here so grateful for you
I absolutely love these Taylor shares with Olivia episodes!! Love love love
glad you love them! We love making them - T
@ Love hearing that! You two are a superb combo!
Thsi song goes out to all the falling angels taken too early we cry for you
Now you absolutely have to do Aerials. I loved Taylor's reaction and interpretation. I'd love to see Olivia's.
The face you pull when your just feeling it. I started watching this channel for your reactions, stayed for the evaluation. Just brilliant!

i love how Taylor went on full metalhead mode seeing her friend reaction. Her happy face was hilarious 🤘

God i wish i had open minded, intellectual, and opinionated friends to just sit down and listen to music with.
Same here, imagine being in argentina when everybody just listen to trap and cumbia, singing about how much "street they have and how much women and money they spend" felt alone my whole f life.
Change friends.
My daughter goes to school for music education ... it's surprising how many people going to college for music don't listen to a lot of music with an open mind.
@@FDx8500not much difference here in Romania. They sing about the same things, just different styles.
Lammmeeeee
Woww ur friend also analyses the song like a pro! It'll be a delightful experience to watch more of ur duo reaction videos...thank you
It's from the gospel of Luke 23:46 when Jesus is in the cross. He says "father into your hands I comend my spirit... Father why have you forsaken me?"
did you know that off the top of your head? if so that's incredible!!
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
‘Commit’ my spirit…
@RageForSeven I was raised in a Baptist church. And then I was evangelical through Highschool... I've since come to my senses, but some things never leave you. Honestly, though, I did have to look up the verse number I only remembered Luke 23 off the top of my head
@vshrum it depends on the version you're reading, but yes, that is one way it was translated
More with you two!! Olivia has so much metal to discover 😍🤘
Rick Rubin was such a genius in how he helped serj finish this song. it became the best part of the song at the end when he screams "Father!"
HYPED love sharing music with friends, and scarring them forever.
You gotta react together more often!!!
So much vicarious joy in this video. :D
Love having her on with you.
Loving the channel. Recently discovered and so happy to see how (just like me, as somebody who works with students with special needs) therapists are reacting to my favourite musicians
Taylor had such a wholesome labrador energy
So that's what she reminded me of. I couldn't figure out where I'd seen that face she was making before 😂
They harmonize so good together.
Your two friendship is awesome. I bet this helps your audience too.
Give her more metal!! Her reactions are so cool to watch!!🤘🏼
thank you for making this channel
I love u two together. Please bring more videos like this
She’s great! I love watching her reactions !! ❤
I love how you're used to the chaos and just look to your friend for a reaction. Soad is goated.
This was a GREAT reaction!! This song was a cry for help, feeling abandoned, needing someone to help, suicide.
bring taylor on more !!!
Best duo ever!
Im here just for watching Taylor sit behind Olivia like the Insidious demon 😂🤣😂
You two together was great
The way Taylor looks at Olivia in this video is the way my dog looks at me hammered at 2:30 knowing I'm about to drop food on the floor. That level of psyched.

her eyes.. her hair, but mostly her is so pretty my goodness 🥲
Did you ladies ever think you would be sitting here jamming on some Metal? Love it.
You two are great together 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
one of the top ten metal tunes of all time
I totally dig the reactions. It's cool watching you watch her reactions, too. Cool channel, great message, always entertaining! As I always do..screaming Motionless in White, Thoughts and Prayers! Be easy!!
The song that made me fall in love with SOAD ❤
it's fun to see reactors get why we watch reactions :)
Yay!! More of your friend!! 😄😍 Let her react to more Slipknot 😁😁
please tell me you have more of these videos coming up! love seeing her go through the motions haha
Hi, I love the reaction! I would love to hear your thoughts on their song Dreaming - not one of their biggest songs, but definitely subject matter that would interest you. Thanks!
Heart Support Duo reactions!!! More More!!!❤❤❤❤
She's just hovering the whole video at the right edge like :D Did you see that? :D Did you hear that? :D
She has just the best smiley face and I love it
Not Taylor off to the side, smiling like a little gremlin as the song starts. Fantastic.
❤ this is art
Thankfully the UA-cam algorithm has the other video of you and your friend listening to Slipknot over there becuase I missed it and was going to ask which vid it was. Heading to that one now. She seems pretty cool. W reaction
Was it me that started the bring back team LIV chant? It’s Round 2 with her and we’re here for it! 🔥🤙🏾
Funny that the two songs she has reacted to so far Duality/Chop Suey were produced by Rick Rubin. And System Of A Down's first tour for this album "Toxicity" which this song is on, was with Slipknot in 2001.
The first song i heard from them was Toxicity and my first thought was "rollercoaster" after it I'm in love with that group
#10 for Hellyeah- Love Falls, Hush, or Moth. You won't regret checking them out, they have so many great deep songs.

Love y’all’s facial reactions.
Rick Rubin produced this as well.
You are both beautiful. Also, I just met someone (a sister in law) who is a huge fan of System of a Down and we got to connect on that level.

Great follow up from Slipknot lol Really enjoyed this Taylor and Olivia

Recently became a follower of the channel and I loved every video. Love the wisdom and perspective you add to your video. Would love you to react to comfortable by Victor Ray. Nevertheless, God bless you and all the best with your future endeavors
More SYSTEM with her! :D
Y'all's reactions are always so entertaining to see! I'd recommend you show her Mein Hertz Brent by Rammstein next! Hope y'all have a good day!
They literally are both blushing I love this shitt
If you have time. Try a song called to the flowers by while she sleeps. It's truly heartbreaking ngl. But one of my favourite songs
Do Candlebox-you plz 🙏🏻
I love how happy Taylor is watching her react to metal 🤘🤣
I'd like to recommend a band called The Warning and 3 songs in particular. 1) When I'm Alone 2) Black Holes 3) Breathe. Specifically the live versions of these songs from Pepsi Center CDMX from 2023. Put on subtitles for When I'm Alone and Breathe.
Excellent.

yeeaaa Liv is back!
I think you'd love 'in due time' by Killswitch Engage. So much of the Jesse leach era is about overcoming mental health struggles. Love the vids ❤
Mushroomhead pleeeeeeease!!❤️❤️ Solitaire Unraveling!!❤️❤️
i do the same faces when i show something i like to a friend
Would love to see you react to anything from the new The Cure album, especially the song ‘And Nothing Is Forever’.
I dunno what it is, but at times when iv been really depressed, iv really liked to listen to some depressing shit.
Which made me feel better somehow.
I have a recommendation for a band for some of you, its a bit niche, as the band is screaming in angst in swedish 😅. But some of the lyrics are really creativly poetic but depressing. But the you kind of feel comfort anyway. Best line is "En kraftig överdos av personliga problem( A strong overdose of personal problems"
Band is called Lifelover, but most of the stuff they do is in Swedish, its black metal. They have five albums
called Pulver(Powder), Dekadens, Erotik,Konkurs(bankruptcy),Sjukdom(sickness).
Some of there best titles of songs are:
M/s Salmonella
Kärlek, Becksvart Melankoli (Love, Pich black melancholy)
En man i sina värsta år (A man in his worst years)
Humörets bottenvåning (The moods bottom floor)
Museum of past affections
Mental Central Dialog
Cancertid(Cancertimes)
Stängt p.g.a Semester (Closed because of vacation)
Totus Anctus
Bitterljuv kakofoni(Bittersweet cacophony)
Chop Suey! by System of a Down based of this verse from the bible
Mark 15:34 In-Context
34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
This song was written about how depending on how people die they a judged.
Would love to hear you’re review a place where you belong or bittersweet memories by bullet for my valentine would love to hear your thoughts about it / them 😊
react to

*BATMETAL RETURN* ( this is really good )
*BATMETAL FOREVER* ( and this one too )

Show her Jinjer - Pisces
New metalhead being born.
Your joy and reactions was my exact reaction when you were discovering Tool. Stinkfist? For her next reaction?
You should react to Soldier Side, my personal fav song by SOAD.. idk how well liked it is. but I love it
A great and underrated song to react to is Psychomachia by I, the Mighty. The lyrics are phenomenal
please do a given up by linkin park reaction, i wouldnt spoil anything about the song because it is really a special first listening experience, i would really recommend it
