The singer Austin Carlisle (no longer in the band) now has the disease that look his mother's life. He has had heart procedures, many surgeries, cancelled tours, many many ups and downs. They made it pretty big, even touring with big names like Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, and Linkin Park. They're still together and doing well with their new singer, but had a different feel with Austin. Hoping you react to more Of Mice & Men!

I love Austin’s scream. The emotion and pain he puts out, insane

When I was 17 my mother and I were both struggling with depression and she had directly told me she wish she would die. I had instantly grabbed my phone and played this song with the lyrics. It had helped us see life in a new way, even though I had heard this song a million times the lyrics clicked on a deeper level in the love for ones mother. Every time for the last 5 years this song makes me tear up and gives me goosebumps. This song saved my mother and I.

I’m legitimately jealous of you, watching you experiencing this masterpiece of a song for the first time

When You Can't Sleep At Night is basically one of the best metalcore ballads of all time. Shayley's voice is unreal.

Parkway Drive - Carrion August Burns Red - White Washed As I Lay Dying - Blinded

Austin and Shayley together were absolutely unbeatable. Sad that it's gone...

Shayley had one of the most amazing clean voices I’ve ever heard an absolutely beautiful voice I love Aaron but still go back to the old stuff from time to time and am still blown away

Dude don't know if you know or not but lead singer from falling in reverse was watching your reaction to popular monster. Just thought you'd like to know, he liked your reaction.

Austin had to leave because his screaming was creating tears in his spinal cord in his neck (probably the most metal injury ever) but it's actually because of Marfan syndrome, it weakens the entire body and prevents it from healing. The clean vocalist here also is no longer in the band, he sang for Dayshell Then Jamie's Elsewhere frontman Pauley joined OM&M as a clean vocalist but since Austin's departure, he took on the task of screaming as well and their new songs are pretty good, but I loved Austin since Attack Attack so Of Mice & Men is not the same to me, still good but Austin's vocals are just unique and amazing

I LOVE Of Mice & Men. One of the best bands in Metalcore because they got the perfect mix of emotions, heaviness and deep lyrics. And Austin, hands down, is one of the most loveable persons in the business. Alex, PLEASE check out "Another you". I think this is THE goosebumps song. Nothing but love to this track.

Not gonna lie. This song and the music video bring me to tears every time. Love you Mom

AFTER THE BURIAL - Lost in the Static... and FIT FOR A KING - PRICE OF AGONY ...both been requested for a really long time...

Of mice and men - the depths That one goes hard, you will love it

3:57 I have the exact same reaction every time I listen to this part of the song. Shay’s voice is so unique, gets me every time with all the emotions he’s able to capture and express through his vocals

We need the whole “The Depths” album. Ohioisonfire. OG Loko. Ben Threw!!!

Of mice and men- Feels like forever.

Price of Agony by Fit For A King. You’ll love it. Don’t sleep on this.

I’m happy you made a reaction to one of my favorite songs. I lost my Mom when I was eight years old, the last line always makes my chest heavy. It’s hard to go through, but I’m happy you gave the viewers words of comfort. You’re so on point with actually reacting and being involved with fans Alex, it’s great.

Knocked loose - Billy no mates//counting worms - Mistakes likes fractures - ...and still I wonder south

Of Mice & Men was one of the bands that I listened to the most in my teenage years, I'm glad you reacted to them Alex🤟🏼 More suggestions: O.G. Loko Product of a murderer You make me sick Bones exposed Identity disorder This one's for you The depths Never giving up And now newer songs (w/o Austin Carlile) Unbreakable Gravedancer Mushroom Cloud Warzone If we were ghosts

One thing I love about your channel is that it reignites the love I had for songs like this from when I was younger. Keep it up! You should check out Monolith by Crossfaith, it's kinda up this alley and you might like it!

Twelve Foot Ninja... One Hand killing. This band is like if Of Mice and Men and Faith No More had a baby. You will ABSOLUTELY dig it Alex.. Their vids are HILARIOUS!! Please give them a chance🙏

PLEASE DO “Don’t go” by bring me the horizon. It’s actually about a real murder that happened, you’ll have to look it up but the meaning behind the song is so sad and scary

If you didn't know Austin is no longer their lead vocalist cause he had surgery. Their lead vocalist is now their bassist Aaron Pauly.

Check out the band Dayshell, it’s Shayley’s (clean vocalist here) band. Veryyyy very good!!

Yep, knew this would come and it was hard. My Mum passed last year and she was amazing. She loved Christmas too so it's even harder at the moment. Love the song, always is a tough listen but a great album. Merry Christmas Alex, have a great one!

I lost my mom when I was 16. This song makes me think of her. Especially “come back so I can say thank you for this. Home cooked meals and a place to rest my troubled head.” I’m getting teary eyed right now.

This song really brings me back to the good ol’ days

Of Mice and Men- ohioisonfire and my understandings or motionless in white- eternally yours and another life

I dont wanna be that guy but the person doing the singing in this song is actually Shayley Bourget. Austin only did the screaming. Shayley is now in a band called Dayshell, i advise you to check them out.

Alex do Blessthefall hollow bodies already.

Great song and band!! OG Loko next

I remember when I heard this song for the very first time and it's just such an incredible song. It made me cry like a river bro, this song truly just hits home. This band is just so amazing!!

Im so glad i got to see of mice & men with austin as the singer some years ago. they came to st pete fl with a day to remember and what a badass concert that was

Would you still be there - Of Mice and Men Pleasee!

Blessthefall-Guys like you make us look bad, what's left of me, hollow bodies, 40 days...

Of Mice and Men - Earth and Sky The breakdown gets me everytime

One of my favorite song from them, this part where he starts screaming "COME BACK..." hits me hard as well as I've lost my father when I was 10. He's right, I often asked if he'll be proud of me or if he's smiling watching over me. I feel like I'm over it now but still sometimes shits happen and it reminds me of this.

Of Mice and Men died when Shay and Austin left. The Flood is still their best album.

Bro I'm begging you check out Fit for a King-"The Price of Agony" I know persistence pays off because I suggested fire from the gods over a year. Don't sleep on this one man! You'll love it!

If you really wanna get goosebumps listening to of mice and men listen to bones exposed

What you said was so accurate the “stuff like that makes us stronger” I lost my mother when I was 14 and never had my dad in my life. It teaches you to grow up quick. You don’t really have that time to make errors knowing they’ll always be there for you.

My dad died 6 years ago on Christmas and this is one of the songs that I hold dearest to my heart and it’s so crazy that you posted a reaction to this song. Been watching you for so long.

Dude, you need to check out Adept! It’s a Swedish metalcore band, and i can guarantee you’ll love them. The song: Black Veins is the best song I’ve ever heard. It’s got sick breakdowns, awsome guitar riffs, beautiful clean vocals and you can feel your body just building up energy as the song goes along. Would love to see your reaction to it. You’d probably fall out of your chair lol

I’VE NEVER BEEN THIS EXCITED BEFORE IN MY LIFE I CANT EVEN TYPe

When I learned to appreciate screams more I ended up really liking this song. I can also relate to the song because my mom left my Dad and me when I was young because she was unfaithful. I’m a drummer and a big reason why I like it is because I could tell quickly the amount of skill and enjoyment in playing this song.

I've heard this song so many times, yet Every time I listen to it I almost cry. I've only ever heard amazing things about Austin by people who have met him. I love him so much 😭😭

Definitely should react to Of Mice and Men's song called "You're Not Alone". Makes me think of you as a person Alex, always trying to make everyone that watches you be positive and keep on keeping on. Thank you for everything you do, and have yourself a Merry Christmas

Ice Nine Kills - Me, Myself, and Hyde. One of my favorite breakdowns of all time

The funny thing about this first album by them is that it was rushed. The vocals were quickly recorded and pasted onto the instruments. And it came out like fucking gold. Love it

C'mon Alex, been saying it for like a year now. Volumes - edge of the earth. Badass song. Right up your alley. Thanks brother keep it up

As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!

Damn! I didn't expect it to get so mellow and emotional like it did in the end! Even I had goosebumps instantly just like you said both in the video and the title!😭😭😭

I liked the video before it started that's how much I love of mice and men. You definitely need to react to them more!!!!! Keep up the great work Alex.

Probably the only song that will ever bring me to tears

Starset- my demons. Red- pieces. BMTH- suicide season. August burns red-cutting the ties. Shadow of intent- the heretic prevails. We came as romans- to move on is to grow. Crown the empire- machines. The ghost inside- faith or forgiveness. Breaking benjamin-angels fall. Linkin park-iridescent. Parkway drive- carrion. Emmure- we were just kids. Funeral for a friend-roses for the dead. It goes on and on :)

Of mice and men- never giving up

I lost my mother at 7 tragically. It destroyed my world. I definitely related with this song and it’s awesome seeing somebody react to it and feel the emotion. Rock on

Lost my mom 6 years ago at the age of 18, I've been a huge of OM&M since they came out. This song always leaves me in tears.

Need more of mice & men. The album The Flood is an absolute masterpiece. And their latest album was actually really good too.

Great reaction. A good one to checkout is "When a demon defiles a witch" by Whitechapel. Phil Bozeman the lead vocalist had a very messed up childhood losing both of his parents.

damn, you can feel the pain in his screams. Simply an amazing song.

OMAM has never been the same without Shay and is a completely new band now without Austin. THIS era with Shay and Austin was the best.

Dudeeee....sooo waiting for the whitechapel Reaction. CAN'T WAIITTTT!!.

As i lay dying - through struggle!

This song never gets old to me, every time I listen to it it’s like the first time ❤

That song has helped me through a few bad times. I'm glad I lived to see you react to one of the deepest songs out there.🤘

So if we are going to go back this far then make sure to stop at BlesstheFall "Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad"

Finally of mice and men! React to would you still be there

I love that you're finally reacting to some of my favorite songs from back in the day between this & king for a day, here are some things I think you might like from bands that saw their peak between 2007 and 2013 in this post hardcore kind of area. Hope you'll check some of them out. DRUGS - "Sex Life" and "If you think this song is about you it probably is" Sleeping with Sirens - "If I'm James Dean, you're Audrey Hepburn" and "If You Can't Hang" Pierce the Veil - "Caraphernelia" and "Bulletproof Love" and "Today I Saw The Whole World" A Day to Remember - "Mr. Highway's thinking about the end" and "2nd Sucks" Like Moths to Flames - "GNF" and "You'll Burn" and "Nowhere Left to Sink" and "All That You Lost" Chiodos - "The words Best Friend become redefined" and "Baby you wouldn't last a minute on the creek"

Thank god for metalcore

Thanks for the video bro

I could barely hear that great music over the screaming I do get it! Very emotional

I never knew this before a few months ago when I watched an interview Austin did but he lived in Lehigh Acres, FL. This song title is derived from an intersection of Sebring circle and 2nd st east. Can’t believe I live 20 mins from where the legend himself grew up

Living Colour- Cult of Personality

Good song choice 👍

"love checkin out new bands" bruh, this was early 2000's

I actually know Austin the singer he goes to my church! After he got Marfan syndrome everytime he would perform it would take a huge toll on his health so he ended up having to leave the band. He then actually became saved (became Christian) and started going to my church. He is such an amazing guy with an amazing testimony.

This song is just another level. I remember when I first heard it, I said the same thing...OH MY GOD.

Check out "Imminence - infectious", you won't be disappointed

I cry everytime I hear this song let alone watching the music video. The lyrics and video hits me like "all fathers were young boys with youthful dreams once in their life" and at his death bed, I saw it in my father's eyes and I was like "if only i could give you back and make you experience again the youth you had Papa". No! I'm not crying.. You are!

Another you - of mice and men is their most emotionally deep song. Austin cried when performing it live

“Drag the Lake” by The Amity Affliction

Bring me the horizon - The House of Wolves, The Comedown, Antivist,... Ice Nine Kills - Thank God It's Friday, Stabbing In The Dark, IT is the end

Austin Carlisle was the lead singer behind the Stick Stickly song by his originated metalcore band or crabcore band Attack Attack. He basically went on after Attack Attack broke up to form Of Mice And Men, but was forced to leave the band because of diseases that left him out of the band but hopefully he’s been feeling better. But OMAM is still quite a band touring with the likes of Slipknot and even Linkin Park.

Alex is the type of guy that you wanna sit in front of the computer with for hours and hours showing new bands to!

You Wear A Crown But You’re No King- Blessthefall

You should check out Upon a Burning Body - Reinventing Hatred!

Oh my god you finally reacted to my favorite band! I literally have their logo tattooed on me. Thank you! These guys have many more amazing tracks that I hope you can check out in the future.

One of the best concert memories I have came from this song. It was warped tour, oh I don’t know, 8 years ago? The song ended and asked to sing the ending one more time. There’s music playing all around you, but all you could hear was a couple hundred people screaming that at the top of their lungs with Austin. Still gives me goosebumps!

Fit for a King - When everything means nothing

Hahaha yo hiphop head, ronnie from falling in reverse did a reaction vid of him reacting to reaction vids from popular monster and ur vid was one of them that he clicked on haha

I got to see OM&M and BMTH in SF when Austin was still in the band, it was fucking EPIC! I met Ollie that night and almost got to meet Austin but he felt ill that night and didnt come out to greet, just goes to show how ill Austin really is and how strong a will he has to perform despite feeling sick almost everyday.

Awesome reaction man,this song hits home for me i lost my in 95 she was 29 and i was 9 at the time it's definitely been rough growing up without my mom and my pops was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia at 56 years old in 2013 and he's been in a nursing home since 2014,hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Yess!!! Of mice and men is awesome!!! Listen to their song "Would You Still Be There"!!

Any given day!!

I didn't know the information about this song you included about the beginning and i've heard this song hundreds of times. From now on i'll also get goosebumps every time i hear it

I lost my mom 4 years ago and it ridiculously hard and I am 42. I couldn't imagine it at 17. And Alex, the fact that your dad hasn't been around for so long and he may or may not be proud of you, I know the rest of your family are and so are your followers. Keep up the great work.

Hell yeah dude love the vid
