McAlmont & Butler - Yes | Reaction!

Музыка

Yes! These guys have been requested for a while, so it's only fitting that when I finally get to them, they blow me away. I didn't outright mention it in the video, but this clearly is about a break-up, which fits well with this duo since they had just left their previous groups. Anyway, McAlmont sings like an angel, and Butler wrote one heck of a liberating song.
Thanks for watching!

    I'm 99% punk or heavy heavy metal, but this song gets me every time. Nothing quite like it. Best break up song ever.

    I absolutely adore this glorious epic track and have adopted it as my anthem to those who weren't interested when I was down and low in a bad place but suddenly crawl out of the wood work as soon as I'm back on my feet and excelling in life. It's just such a joyful f you song ❤ Thank you for being the 1st reactor to do this awesome track 👌

    One of my favourite tunes from the 90's, never get bored of hearing it, and it got played a lot! ps. More Suede please 😁 (The Wild Ones, Stay Together, or some of their newer stuff, they're still amazing).

    Absolutely amazing voice, with the strings, drums….and Bernard Butler getting lost playing for his life on his Gibson 355 (I was lucky enough to see them play this at a charity concert and also on the same gig was Johnny marr, Noel Gallagher, the charlatans & Paul Weller and they were all collaborating with each other pretty much at point through the night ) I said to my wife after that gig I don’t think we need to go to another concert again surely it can’t get any better than this …keep up your sterling work with your Chanel it’s brilliant ! ! ! Have you ever reacted to Shed7 or mansun ? Another 2 from the 90’s that are worth a listen 👍

    Wow. Color me surprised. I never thought you’d react to this gem. Had the cd and singles….but this is the standout track for sure. Good on ya, mate. Speaking of collaborations…I am just dying to your reaction of the new Liam Gallagher x John Squire collab single “Just Another Rainbow”. They are bringing guitar based britpop back to the masses…at long last.

    This is such a big song with very overwhelming backing music but the vocals are also so big that they aren't drowned out at all. I would say it was so different to anything else that was out at the time though not different enough not to be not classed as Brit Pop. A glorious song that even though it's not one I've listened to much since those days it is a classic. Even though it's a very different song it reminds me of another song I think you've already reacted to, maybe because they were in the charts at the same time, The New Radicals - You Get What You Give.
