Have you seen the videos on UA-cam of him playing along with classical music? He’s the reason I started drumming in the 90s, and after I showed my son those videos, he wants to be a drummer
This was a special album for me and what a great track. Ted's passing, like Michael (of Bloodgood) has certainly been a time of emotional weight and introspection. While we will miss them terribly, thank God for the time we did have.
Sad to hear that Ted passed away. He was a good person and a tremendous drummer. Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance is my favorite. I loaned it to a friend for a weekend in high school who was into Metallica and Pantera. He returned it Monday and told me he almost blew his speakers. Apparently he turned it way up expecting Christian music to be quieter. He said the album freaked him out and he felt more comfortable listening to Pantera 😂
One of my favorite metal bands of all time! The band is most likely over with now that Ted has passed. He pretty much ran the band the past few years. The original singer and two guitarists have a new band called FLOOD which I highly recommend! Hey Shane I recommend their song War in the sky. Love your channel. Great job!
Yeah, absolutely no way the band could ever exist without Ted. His cobtribution in the songwriting, arrangements, lyrics, overall sound is so huge you couldn’t have a believable Tourniquet without Ted. The last about 10-15 years of the bands career was more like Ted’s solo project.
This was the first Tourniquet song I heard back in the day, and I am a huge fan of the Pathogenic album. Ted is among the very best drummers I've ever heard; see you on the other side, brother.
It was a shock finding out that Ted had passed. I met him when my Christian metal band opened for them in 1993. This was the first Tourniquet song I ever heard. Thank you for playing Christian metal bands.
Thank Shane and great reaction! It was hard to pick just one song off that whole album. This was their first “hit” though if I recall. Tourniquets guitars (and Deliverance) sounded massive back in the day. Ark of Suffering are also really good.
Gonna miss Ted. What a great writer and performer he was. Some awesome Tourniquet tunes include Phantom Limb, Tomb of Gilgamesh, A Dog's Breakfast, Hand Trembler, and Viento Borrascoso. But you really can't go wrong, because there are no bad Tourniquet tracks.
Very fitting to react to tourniquet after Ted‘s passing. I personally wish it was a different song off the album, but it’s still awesome. Tourniquet had fantastic drumming, cool vocals, and intricate thrashy goodness, Also, stop the bleeding is my favourite album cover of all time. I saw someone mentioned that Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter are in Flood. Any fans of old school Tourniquet should check it out. It’s phenomenal.
This was a great album debut. Guy Ritter had a unique voice, sometimes using King Diamond-like vocals. Gary Lenaire was the lead guitarist and then you had Ted Kirkpatrick who was a beast on drums. Ted was the main song writer on this album; however Guy Ritter and Gary Lenaire contributed quite a bit on this album. Ark of Suffering is another standout on this album. They did a video for that song (should be on UA-cam). The song is about animal abuse. Funny thing was that MTV would not play that video back in the day. That should be a first listen as well. Been really enjoying your channel and your love and passion for music. Keep up the great work 👍🤟
They were a five piece on these three albums. Different members too. The main vocalist left after POD. Ted was the only member from beginning to end of their career.
You now only reacted to the classic Tourniquet which was the best imo. But they released some fantasic songs in the recent years. Can you react to “Gazing at Medusa”?
Some may think I'm nuts but I liked that better than Iron Maiden!! 🤘for some reason it reminded of motorhead I think it was the vocals. Idk but I liked it Shane! 🤘🤘🤘
Shane, dude...knowing that you are a drummer, please check out the track Tourniquet - VIENTO BORRASCOSO (DEVASTATING WIND). By all means you can react to it, but personally you need to check it out. Ted was highly regarded, even gained the attention of Neil Peart, if that's how you spell it, but either way dude, listen to this, crazy shit you will love. Do it, just...yeah man. Go for it!
I figured someone already noted this. it wasn't even close to correct, I mean, it's not like they formed, made some demos and then Aaron and Luke joined and were on the first album. they didn't show up til the fourth album, was quite the upset at the time I recall.
Every man with integrity and a soul should have issues with satanic agendas in satanic lyrics of satanic bands. No song is worth losing your soul for. God created music and He should be honored in its lyrics. God bless and Metal on!
The original lineup was ted kirkpatrick, guy ritter, and gary lenaire. throughout their history they also had erik mendez, and victor macias. guest appearances include marty friedman on the album where moths and rust destroy, and bruce franklin also on where moths and rust destroy. they are known for their stance against animal cruelty and their use of medical terms and songs titles. they actually had a video banned by mtv for ark of suffering off their first album stop the bleeding. unfortunately they never get the credit they deserve because they are a christian band.
I would say Tourniquet is no more because of Ted Passing he was doing a kickstarter I was backing for a new album since he passed thats not happening they are refunding money Guy and Gary I heard was in a Band called The Flood just learned that tonight at Immortal Fest 3 Day Christian Rock and Metal festival which Sacred Warrior Reunited after 30 years and Barren Cross performed after a 12 year or longer hiatus
Nice reaction as always brother! 😎🤘 By the way you're sleeping on new Orbit Culture material, they just released a new single called "Vultures of North" please react to that one because the family miss you bro! 😆😉😎🤘 It doesn't matter if you didn't brought the potato salad 😂
A tale of two bands is what you get here. Since Ted took over Tourniquet you get the history of the band that he wanted everyone to know. If you talk to the other members of the band you get a totally different story. Whichever one is correct who knows. Occording to RItter and Lenaire they started the band and Ted came in after. Ted also played drums for Trouble on tour before joining Tourniquet. If you go back and look into the liner notes you don't see Ted's name being mentioned as song writer often on the early (better) albums. Now with that being said, Tourniquet is a phenomenal band. Kind of a cross between King Diamond and tradition trash. Their first three albums are brilliant. They had two different singers in Guy Ritter and Gary Lenaire. After Guy Ritter left the band to me they just lost their signature sound and then when Gary Lenaire left then band they really lost all resemblance to the Tourniquet sound (This would have been the time Ted took over the band) Yes they still put out some decent music here and there.
Definitely three eras of the band. The first three records, then the next one was the first stint with Ted’s dominance and the last era of a few odd recordings which were of varying quality but contained some incredibly good tracks here and there. That last stint really was just Ted’s solo projects.
I went back and looked into the liner notes: STOP THE BLEEDING - 10 songs Kirkpatrick - 4 songs Lenaire - 4 songs Ritter - 3 songs PSYCHO SURGERY - 9 songs Kirkpatrick - 6 songs Lenaire - 3 songs Ritter - 2 songs PATHOGENIC - 12 songs Kirkpatrick - 7 Lenaire - 4 Ritter - 2 Macias - 1 Only the debut album had the songs made more evenly with each band member and the second album already started to have Ted as the main song writer. It's true that Ted joined the band after Lenaire and Ritter already were together. And the name Tourniquet was chosen by Ritter before Ted joined, I think (not completely sure about that). Lenaire seems to count in the years his and Ritter's band was called Holy Danger as years of Tourniquet, so that's not completely honest take to the history of Tourniquet either. However, I believe some of the Ritter/Lenaire songs in Stop the Bleeding were at least partly written while they were Holy Danger. Anyway, another somewhat similar case is with Stratovarius where Timo Tolkki joined an already formed band, but he ended up being the main songwriter very soon while the other band members slowly changed (currently the oldest members of that band joined the band for the fourth and fifth albums - even Timo Tolkki is not part of the band anymore).
Yeah, morbid angel did it.. but Cannibal Corpse does it way more! That first album from Tourniquet is like having bach and mozart try metal. It's just epic
It annoys me that it says trio, someone please correct that. They were not a trio and ted was a big part of the songwriting, but so was gary and guy in the early days,
Jams for Jesus!!! 🤘🙏 Maybe I would have paid more attention in Vacation Bible School during my childhood days in the Midwest if had stuff like this to rock out to, instead of having to sing standards like Michael Row the Boat Ashore. This was decent for me...and again, if I were not paying close attention to the lyrics and/or didn't know from anything else, I would not peg this as Christian metal.
Every time you read the bio for this band I cringe. That’s the latest lineup. They have gone through multiple members. I know you only get what’s posted. The first albums had Guy singing. Luke came in a few years later.
My favourite Tourniquet album.. perfect thrash.. but you chose the weakest song on the album though.. Test for Leprosy,Swarming Spirits & Tears of Korah are better places to start with.
Ted was one of the first drum idols to me. Used to listen to his drumming a lot as a kid and tried my best to play it haha. RIP dude🙏
Have you seen the videos on UA-cam of him playing along with classical music? He’s the reason I started drumming in the 90s, and after I showed my son those videos, he wants to be a drummer
@@Tang223 yes, I actually have that album on cd
Same
Just heartbroken about Teds passing. My absolute favorite drummer. I listen to Tourniquet a ton!!! Need to review more of their songs.
Ted was one of the best drummers in history of metal and one of a kind.
They were a five piece during their first three albums. Great stuff!

Actually Gary Lenaire and Guy Ritter founded Tourniquet and Ted, RIP, joined a couple years later. Luke Easter and Aaron Guerra came later.
TED a great drummer

I have all their CDs

Love all the tourniquet songs still a big fan, should check out Soul embraced ,
masterpiece
Also, Ted was in the secular band, Trouble, which was heavily influential in the doom metal genre.
Tourniquet rules ❤
This album Ted Kirkpatrick-Drums Guy Ritter-Vocals Gary Lenaire-Guitar Mark Lewis- Lead Guitar
You now only reacted to the classic Tourniquet which was the best imo. But they released some fantasic songs in the recent years. Can you react to “Gazing at Medusa”?
Yes please. One of my favourite tracks from the band.
That was a great song and a very good album! 🤘 RIP Ted 😢
I know they're an acquired taste not for everyone but they really do a great job of getting their message out
Some may think I'm nuts but I liked that better than Iron Maiden!! 🤘for some reason it reminded of motorhead I think it was the vocals. Idk but I liked it Shane! 🤘🤘🤘
The whole band was uncle Ted and the boys. First three albums were masterpieces
You should cover “Enveloped in Python” off Tourniquets “Crawl to China” album.
Shane, dude...knowing that you are a drummer, please check out the track Tourniquet - VIENTO BORRASCOSO (DEVASTATING WIND). By all means you can react to it, but personally you need to check it out. Ted was highly regarded, even gained the attention of Neil Peart, if that's how you spell it, but either way dude, listen to this, crazy shit you will love. Do it, just...yeah man. Go for it!
Actually the bio isn't correct. Tourniquet's founding members were Ted Kirkpatrick, Guy Ritter, and Gary Lenaier.

One you should definitely do is "Ruminating Virulence" from their album Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance.
Nice reaction as always brother! 😎🤘

Thank you Mr 🙏
My favourite Tourniquet album.. perfect thrash.. but you chose the weakest song on the album though.. Test for Leprosy,Swarming Spirits & Tears of Korah are better places to start with.
I totally agree with you, this was not the right song to display all the Tourniquet power and talent, maybe "test for leprosy" could be the one

They're not a trio here bro.. That came much later.. They're a 5 piece band here
They always had great music but the vocals were always lacking, in my opinion...
