The old guys in the video are George Jones and Charlie Daniels. Both legends. R.I.P.

I have a friend who fought in Desert Storm and he is black. He told me that the battlefield was the least racist place he has ever experienced. He said they all knew there lives were on the line, and all of the race shit was gone because everybody had everybody else's back. Maybe everyones experience in combat is different.

He went back to his roots. Add stated in this song. He sold his soul. (Aka, record deal with stained) He's a country boy from the jump

“Sold my soul to the devil in LA” is definitely a metaphor. Virtually ALL musicians when they sign a contract, sign away their lives. The label now controls them. Tells them where to go, who to talk to, what to wear, and even what to write. Until they become mega famous and their contract expires, they are basically at the mercy of the label. Look at artists from the 30’s through the 60’s. Many of them were paid very little for their talent, yet were expected to grind out show after show after show. Nowadays it’s not as bad, but initially it can be a living hell.

I believe "selling your soul" is quite literal in many cases.

We have a history, that history includes slavery. But we over came that and we are stronger for it. We come from different back grounds but we are bonded together as Americans. Fill your heart with patriotism and racism will have no place to exist. We all have to learn to forgive one another, to love one another & to fight for one another!! This is the America I love!! God Bless You All🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

There is so much more that unites us then divides us. It’s all about focus and where we choose to place it.

I learned back when i joined the military that selling your soul to the devil was a metaphor for a contract. Guess you could say i had to learn the difficult way.

He put that second verse together so well alot of people miss the fact that he said the "devil" told him to sign first then after he signed the contract then he wanted to change everything about him. I think this was aaron lewis way of saying he never wanted to make rock/pop music but the had him under contract now so he had to change

Great reaction. The reason I’m proud to call myself an American is what America represents. It hasn’t always lived up to its own identity with its history, but to me, it represents Freedom for ALL people. I want everyone to live however they want, and I see America as the closest Country in the world that allows that.

The real message isn’t that he’s “country” but that he’s a country boy as in the country of the USA and that he stand behind the freedom and rights for all and treated with equality. Another good song of his is Am I the Only One. More up to date with current situations in the US and across the world

I love anyone who fought for this country. I don't care race. What he sings about, he doesn't exclude you. You are a part of what he sings about if you love this country. Are you black? Who cares? Are you white? Who cares? Are you Asian? Who cares? You are critical to our society as long as you want to contribute to it. That's what the song's message is.

yes lewis was part of that band staind..he was also married to the lead singer of that group that ...sung my immortal ..and yes thats his dad at the end of the video..the one that sings the part of the devil is george jones a country legend that was one of his last recordings

there are times that he can a jerk, but at the same time after he moved back home from being famous, his daughters school was going to close, so he started a fund and donated a bunch of money so the school could pay it's teachers and stay open. So he has done some really good things for his hometown local community.

Love Mr Lewis, have y'all heard his new one "am i the only one"

He’s from Western Massachusetts! A couple towns over from me!

You nailed it great observation

What's good family? Liked and shared. And I would like to say thank you for your service and the sacrifice from your family to those who have fought and died for this country we love. I have lost my nephew serving and I have also served. We lost all race in bootcamp.

That was the late great George Jones and Charlie Daniels in the vid with him

He came up with this song from a bet from his friend. He wrote it in 20 min when his friend told him he couldn't write a country song. He just recently started touring again with staind. After staind he went solo and wanted everyone to see who he truly is. Amazing artist even amazing live.

I agree with you, I think it is a metaphor for I sold my music, my image, control over what music I do, my name, basically everything I am to be able to be a musician because that was the way it used to have to be. You couldn't do the Tom Macdonald, Jelly Roll, thing even 20-25 years ago. Like Tech9 pulled it off, but it was a struggle for a long time, and even now the record labels still own the radio, and many other forms of distribution, and if you don't sign away everything you are, you don't make it.

15k likes 5 months later. Aren’t you glad you took the request. But the song I really wanted you to react to was...Hank Williams jr - country boy can survive

The Devil metaphor is referring to the recording labels. The artists have to do basically whatever the label wants them to do.

Your facts are correct my friend...do their song MUDSHOVEL...it was my favorite

Love y'alls reaction and u speaking truth ut don't ever say u don't smoke tree again lol

Omg what a cute baby

You should check out his live performance of Something To Remind You... Chokes me up every time.

Generations of my family are veterans, 3 young ones serving now. We all love our country. There are jerks in any group, so don't give up hope.

You where right about it man that's why being a independent artist under no label is so hot because you have to do what they want

I respect what you say about it. Hate that happened. I signed up to fight for this country and I did it for everyone. No race involved. We all have done that. No race in the Corps. Only green. Loved all them dudes that life sucked with.

Don't stop keep going up up up💯

This guy is super smart. I like his take on this

CAM and KAY I would like to c more videos of artist that u guys have a passion for or interest in.......😀but regardless I will continue to support you guys bc I love ur family dynamic .....u guys are the only channel I actually watch on a regular basis

Selling your soul, I believe it's a mix of both. There are definitely real encounters, you choose which side to give power to more. Good thing God owns your soul, you can always run back to the Father as long as you're breathing on this earth.

You two are so cute! My sons name is Cameron. 😊

5 generations of military also Irish indentured servant. Not a perfect country but its ours.

Loving the Miami Redhawks shirt. Im from dayton not too far away.

On your side man!

I think the term selling your soul to the devil, started with Robert Johnson at the crossroads.

I love black people specially the africans because mostly they are not bullies, they are humble and I respect them for who they are.

Great song

A lot of my family and friends who have served and not all make it back

Biblically speaking, the Bible asks "what would it profit a man to gain the world only to lose his soul"? Many sell their souls to Satan for fame and fortune and other idols. Temporary pleasure that leads to eternal destruction.

Pro tip. People are on reaction videos to vibe because they want to listen to music but also get somebody elts opinion at the end. When you stop it all the time and try to dissect it word for word that kills the vibe.

You're right about that song, its Aarons rock band (staind)

Charlie daniels speaking truth at the end of video.

I used to go to every Staind concert in OKC back in the nineties I would flip Aaron off until he flipped me off it was awesome

I grew up around nothing and my parents had to sell their wedding rings for us to eat and I am so proud that my parents were able to do that for me. I know what I have accomplished and also at the same time that people can accomplish and so I will let you know that there is a different route of

Years ago there may have been some bad things done to people in the military which is unfortunate. My wife was in the army more recent and I can assure you the bond between everyone was much stronger than their differences whether it was race, color ect. Great video.

We need to all get together and make this country proud again.

Wasted on You - Morgan Wallen ⚡️

I recommend you listen to Thomas Sowell's writing He's a black college professor. They will change the history books. I've had black friends when I lived in Georgia That their ancestors fault in the Civil War as Confederate soldiers There were multiple regiments of black Confederate soldiers in the hundreds.. I've seen the pictures I've seen the diaries and the letters that their ancestors wrote their wives. Me and my friend took that big plastic tub from Walmart full of those documents to school. Our teacher got mad at us and we got suspended. We got suspended because it was against the narrative we've been lied to for decades.

The Smashing Pumpkins has a line in their contract that said the record company own their likeness through out the universe, and any new universe discovered. That's a real thing that happened. In a contract given to 23 year olds. They are most definitely the devil. Metaphysically. The singer talked about sitting in meetings and people referred to his art as the product. He said every time they said that it made him cringe.

Your baby is precious!!

No, they are famous musicians within the country music world

And this is why independent artists are much happier, free, and tell the truth in their music….

Your ancestors have fought and died for our country too… we all belong. You belong as much as I do as a white man. We all belong!!! All of us together. I’m sorry for what happened to yours. Mine died as well. We are brothers and sisters

Money is the carrot, we are the horses, government is the wagon and corporations hold the reins while steering the wagon.

Shut off the social media and the news, make friends with your neighbors, and come together as a family. Any one who spreads hate, out-cast them, you don't need it in your life. Above all be happy. 😜

That was Charlie Daniels at the end. You should check out “Way Out Here” by Josh Thompson. We are more united than the media is reporting. Turn off the news! A Amish farmer was asked why they don’t fear the “rona”, he replied they don’t watch TV.

Love that Mama is nursing her baby. It’s not say. I nursed all mine till two years. I’ve done it at ballgames, work, you go mama!

I miss him in Staind. He got me through alot back in the day. One of my favorite concerts. With the industry I think you're partially right but I do believe once you go deeper in though there is "illuminati or secret societies" that do participate in occult rituals/sacrifices. Just look at some of the symbolism. I dont think everyone gets that opportunity though. If you look into things and go down some rabbit holes its nearly undeniable.. notice the ones that speak out on the industry end up soon after get arrested and have negative headlines just trying to destroy them. DMX is a great example of this. They tried to destroy that man.. and he was at one time the #1 artist His first 4 albums went platinum and he kept Def Jam alive at one point. He started speaking out about the industry heavy. He even did the live performance called "The Industry" m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtmdetWKqbLUdoE.html Should react to it.

Stained was rock. This is defenatly Country. You look stoned. Its fine with me. Good reaction.

Stain something to remind you LIVE, Aaron Lewis is the man. Check it out. He's gone country now with a bad ass song Lost and Lonely.

George Jones is a legend. Listen to the words of the song. There is a ton of meaning there.

My dad was a poor WHITE farmer and as a kid in high school he was bullied and pissed on. Skin color had nothing to do with it some people are just assholes.

That's Charlie Daniels and George Jones. Them 2 are goats in country music

The two old guys in the studio room are George Jones and Charlie Daniels

It's been a while is a rock ballad.

Nah it's been a while is not country.. staind is all rock. 😄 You right Big Red.

RIP George Jones and Charlie Daniels

You should do e stop loving her today! ❤️ you’re reacting to different genre ❤️

Also the old man singing is george jones, well was george jones. RIP

This country and changed dramatically during Vietnam. Great division among the American people. The democrats wanted that war to continue, because use their chosen ones were making a great big bunch of money. If you wanted ice over there the Lady Bird Johnson owned nearly all the facilities that could produce ice. People in combat units had to rely on one another. No matter what color. I had a black drill seargent in basic. He made it clear that the only color he saw and we should see is OD Green. When I return from Vietnam thats all I saw was OD Green. Twist of fate I was restationed back to my basic training camp. Wife and I decide to join the base bowling league. We were told mixed leagues (2 males and two females) were available. He said another couple were in the bar looking for someone to bowl with. I recognized him immediately. It was my drill Sargent and his wife. I thanked him for the skills he taught me that kept me alive. We became fast friend. He didn't see me as a white country boy, nor did we see them as black. We saw them as friends, and friendship has no color.

Thank you ma’am. You’re doing good by your child. 🙌🙌

Southern Rock has a very country sound or vibe to it. Check out almost anything from Alabama, Lynard Skynard, Molly Hatchet, etc. (Love Molly Hatchet's Fall of the Peacemakers.) Although elements of the guitar remind of "I'm a Cowboy" by Bon Jovi.

Am I the only one arron lewis

The two old men singing with Aaron are (respectively) George Jones and Charlie Daniels- two country legends who have both passed since this video was made. Check ‘em out sometime. Really can’t go wrong with any tracks, but if I may make a suggestion so you aren’t goin in blind, for George, you might start with He Stopped Loving Her Today, & for Charlie, The Devil Went Down to Georgia is almost mandatory. Good video. Keep it up.

We are much more alike than we are different, but there are powers that be that do not want us to know that, and do not want us United because then they are not necessary and if you don't believe that you're only lying to yourself?

Selling their soul is a literal term, my friend. Do sum looking in to the 27 club.

2 of country musics legends are in this video the devil was the possum george jones and on the fiddle and at the end the late great charlie daniels

There's a rebassed version of this song and it slams if you got a system in your car

In the music industry selling ur soul is like when u sign to a label who controls what music u can put out. When an artist can't make the music that makes them happy they've sold their soul. Their music creativity is taken away. I've had two labels try to get me to sign and I won't let any label take my rights to my own music creativity. So I make my music at home in my house

I think this country is great because look what the us has done in the last in a short amount of time We ban slavery in less then 200 years while other countries had slaves for thousands of years like Africa and the UK And in less then 300 years woman got the right to vote and own property. And this country has only here for 400 years

Listen to the order to the second verse and it's a story I've heard before when it comes to the big record guys. They make you sign this contract THEN all of a sudden they want to change everything about you. But when you realize what they are doing, hell your under contract....

Check out lost and lonely by Aaron lewis

In this time of division I have to say it's nice to see such an open minded couple. Wiling to understand people who have grown up differently and in a different place then you but still have values and love their country. Hope you two review Am I The Only One.

Musicians have sung about selling their soul for decades. Robert Johnson even sang about selling his at the Cross Roads. In this case. It's rumored that the Devil in LA was Simon Cowell, but I haven't heard if this is true or just rumor. If anyone knows, fire back in the comments. I'd love know the real story.

Staind was ROCK! Good review

He has a new song called Am I the only one it’s about what’s going on in our country.

React to Heavens got a backroad by the one and only Savannah Dexter 😁

Who are the people they say run music, movies, and the banking system

Not just ancestors. I have four cousins, my age, in their 20's and 30's, that have been fighting for this country since they were 18, as well as an uncle who is still in the military. We are hispanic, Native American and white, and I've never heard one racist word come out of their mouths my entire life. There are SO many reasons to be proud to be American. Not one single American has risked their lives swimming and hopping borders to get to other countries. It just doesn't happen. But, every other country has people risking their lives everyday to get here. Why? Because they want to be FREE. They want the freedom to do exactly as you just did by making this video. The 1st amendment. 1st and 2nd, actually, are the two most important, not only to patriotic Americans, but to other nationalities as well. Obviously we are human and nothing will ever be perfect. We have a long wat to go still, but we are the best country in the world. I stand by that until my last breath.

Been awhile Alyssa country theme rock song it had a country elements but it was technically a rock song but it was in a rock band but Aaron Lewis grew up in the country he's always been country at heart he said in an interview that he knew he was going to do country one day when he went solo and when he went solo he went country so he's just going by what he said he was going to do but I would say I've Been Awhile does sound like country but it's not same way Old Town road wss a-based rap song lol. It didn't have any country music or elements so that's why I got took off the chart Upchurch says it best when he was talking about Old Town Road you can write a song about anything you want but you still have to put the song where they go

The old man singing is George Jones

The past is the past. Both sides have done wrong. All we can do is make America the best it can be now and protect the freedoms which we have now for the future generations!

Your right he’s the lead singer of stained

Just like people you can't put music into a box genres are opinions all the best music comes from the soul and that's the common denominator

Those guys that pissed on him had to trust on him to have their back and visa versa. I have been made fun of.
