Having spent years as a touring musician in a few different bands I now review the newest and best music that the rock universe has to offer!
On this channel you'll find realtime reaction commentary and reviews of rock music I'm hearing for the first time, interviews with musicians and other industry professionals, some drum covers, and other rock-related content.
Thanks for stopping by!

It's sad in a way that the Green Day crowd has finally got old. They've always been able to attract a younger audience than most bands their age. There was a few and some.with their parents but its now definitely on the whole 40 plus
I was at the Wembley show and I’ve already watched it back twice through people on YT it was that good. Banger after banger 💥
Best song of the year and one of my favorites of all time.
That pretty much sums up the night I had last Saturday. I don't think Green Day will top that ever. What a moment it was. Great review.
5:00 on the shoulders flipping the birds when on my mates shoulders for F.O.D was perfect. Fucking loved that gig!!
I was there too - my second time seeing them. Unbelievable performance. Loved every single second.
I was there. It was my 6th Green Day show too, 19 years since my first at Milton Keynes. It was an incredible night. You're right that they do a lot of the same stuff at their shows, but honestly I don't care- I'm just happy to be there in their presence, and in that energy. I promised myself when I saw them that first time that I would see them at least once for each new tour. Though I would LOVE to see them at a secret/ intimate gig.
Milton Keynes was excellent ✅
Wish I'd been there but thank god for you tube Green Day are my favorites for 20 years now
I was at this show. Was an amazing experience! Where I was sat i'm 26 and was definitely tired at the end. Managed to get to my hotel in like an hour, which wasn't bad. Was a family at the same hotel we saw in the morning with kids that didn't get back till 1. Also had some kids near us as well. Crazy to see how they still get the new generation.
@@Zaymont720 oh wow!
until you said it, I never realized it but the mower actually ISNT on in better hell 😂😂
@@Aleeega blew my mind too haha but also… totally makes sense.
clearly an incredible amount of practice goes into this type of playing. I just can't fully embrace it though as its really just the triggers doing all the work. Eloy is the anti trigger and I love it.
W take man! My favorite band forever and always. They’re the best to ever do it at this caliber
Bridge City Sinners' lyrics are very dark. Their version of St. James Infirmary is great too.
Linkin park rule!!!!🔥🤘🏼♥️🤘🏼🔥🔥
Abysm might be my song of the year so far.
Sax, trumpet, violin, guitar, bass, drums and vocals
The sheer amount of musical talent and ability concentrated in these three young men is OFF THE CHARTS. It should be illegal to be this good.
I was there too, agree with pretty much everything you said. Especially about the click, you could tell they weren't playing to a click and it was great to have that live rawness. Dookie also comes from an era when albums sounded more raw and had a lot less production and polish so for them to replicate that feel live really worked. Also as a guy in my mid-30s, I can totally relate to the slog of standing there for almost 3 hours lol, could barely walk afterwards. It was great fun though and the whole show flew by.
@@punkstjimmyF1 haha yeah buddy! Tired legs: unite! 🤝 And totally, Dookie live sounded absolutely brilliant for every song.
I adore the juxtaposition of a very busy drum pattern with an otherwise super chilled-out song.
I once saw dredg in Hamburg, Germany play El Cielo and Catch Without Arms from start to finish…that was a crazy concert I will certainly never forget.
You just gotta love this. Fantastic collab
In 2017 I saw New Found Glory do Sticks and Stones and Catalyst at the same gig..... Still one of my favourite gigs 💪🏻
I went to the same tour, only they played My Friends Over You last and Manchester Academy fucking exploded with hype 😂
That’s epic
I was at Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester for this show. Once in a lifetime opportunity 😊
i’ve always known green day was a fantastic live band, but people don’t realize how great they actually are even in their 50s. so many bands are washed up, but green day still got it & got better with time. such a class act
back in the mid 90s, green day would leave the stage, typically after basket case or paper lanterns, & tre cool would play all by myself alone with an electric guitar. then all the boys would come back to play dominated love slave from kerplunk, which also has tre cool singing & billie joe on drums there’s plenty of 90s footage of them on youtube & they’re all great
@@izzey0729 oh really? Haha that’s amazing.
Lovely review! So glad you had a great time!
Drunk Enough is sooooo good
Lune Next!
I saw New Found Glory do it in 2017. Ish, they played different albums every night in the UK
I was lucky to catch them on a night they played "Sticks and Stones" and "Catalyst"
Josh Manuel is the drummer that recorded on this album I do believe. He was the drummer of Issues and has been on tour with Kane Brown. Incredible drummer who knows how to play for the music.
Green Day announced this tour with the playing of DOOKIE and AMERICAN IDIOT in its entirety. They are the first to play two full albums entirely, and I’m so upset I did not catch them in the US, but yeah this is MONUMENTAL 🔥🤘🏻 Dookie for me is an insane album, a pivotal point in my life and my music pedigree, super happy you got to see that entirely played. I have seen Green Day 12 times since 1998 and I’ve heard all the songs from both albums 😊 Really happy you went Steve and so happy to know you are a big fan and had “the time of your life” ❤️
Definitely not the first to don’t albums in full, I saw New Found Glory play Self Titled and Sticks & Stones in full in Cardiff in 2017, then Sticks & Stones and Catalyst in full in Bristol on the same tour as they were changing it every night
I think they announced it a bit after the tour announcement. I remember saying to my partner when it got announced; "it wouldn't surprise me if they play American Idiot and Dookie in full with the milestones" then a few weeks later they announced it. So glad I got to see this show.
The us tour is starting soon??
Time to react to their song omega only took me 6 months to learn it on guitar 😅
If you like Elwood stray, you’ll like The Narrator, they do a lot of colabs with Elwood stray. Their song purgatory is sweet and high tempo
Come What May always brings me to tears
Been on the Johnny train since Stick Stickly. What an incredible artist, band, and album. Great reaction as well
Great reaction, as always Steve! Banger of an album! As an aside, does anyone else think the "your love" lyric in "Drunk Enough" sounds like Vessel from Sleep Token? I am almost sure it isn't, but it's all I can hear every time it plays.
awesome job man, one small suggestion turn your beaters around on you kick pedal so the plastic side hits the drum. the felt will start to tear though the mesh over time
Ohh interesting! I wasn’t aware of that at all. Thanks for the tip 🫂
The mud part just makes me wanna ask have you ever been to wacken? Where this type of weather is almost expected lol
I haven’t been to festivals for years but why are your legs always so tired… it’s a special weekend… we used to eat, drink, sleep standing up… most of the time off the ground during great sets… tired legs? That’s a bit odd for a festival goer… must be a younger gen thing
Are all the musicians “they” at download. Haha, I’m not sure why I noticed this. There are lots of good reasonable uses of the word they outside of woke culture but you seemed to use it rather a lot for collections and individuals. On another thought do you think someone who identifies as he or she might find it irritating if someone always refers to them as they for fear of misgendering… just because it never came up… which it often doesn’t… coz it’s not all that important…
Love watch Steve reviewing Sleep Token.
Watching your eyes fill up is making me cry. Im a 61 year old man.
I don't think I can count the Invent Animate Heavener Definitive album as AOTY so as of right now, there is no other competition for AOTY. I dont even know how many times I've played through this album and its only been a couple days haha I hear ya on the Spotify wrap-up, gonna be full of Bilmuri!
Their song “Decay” is phenomenal.
You obviously weren't at Glastonbury 98... that was a swamp...
Excellent work & taste, I really need to get better on keys and record tons of stuff 😶🌫
Vildhjarta is a deep brain massage
really cool interview! i found Conquer Divide from Electric Callboy and i like em a lot. 🤘
album of the year easily
okay maybe not easily, that new Capstan record is insane also but this is just something else
