Having to go on vocal rest for a year after an Iron Maiden concert is the most metal thing I've ever heard \m/ MAIDEN \m/

Beth your face listening to them makes me laugh so hard you look so uncomfortable lol

I'd highly recommend looking at them again, this is a horrible video. I've seen them live and as much as I dislike their new stuff, Ivan has a fantastic voice. Look at the album version of this(even the live version of this they have on the album) Far From Home, Remember Everything, Stranger Than Fiction, Hard to See. Ivan has a very rock opera style voice and can soar to some notes with a unique scream Also, check out Pop Evil- Waking Lions

Should've done wrong side of heaven. When I saw that live I was swinging and crying at the same time.

Wrong Side Of Heaven would have been a better intro to the band. Check it out?

This isn’t the best representation of this vocalist. You should check out either of these songs: Wrong side of heaven Gone away Bad company

You picked the Crappiest live version lol

This is a bad video choice imho. I have seen them live and this is a horrible performance.

This was one of the first songs I ever learned to growl and scream too. Love them seen them four or five times. One of my favs

Ive listened to so many bad comments about these guys so hearing your good comments on them has made me cry with joy

I've seen them live and it was amazing, the fans are great. Saw then them last year with Breaking Benjamin, Nothing More and Bad Wolves.... it was the best line up I've been to. Everybody was amazing can't wait to see FFDP after the new album is released.

I'd like to see you react to anything from Avenged Sevenfold's Live in LBC concert

i'm really glad to see you branching out and reacting to different bands outside your comfort zone! i agree that this isn't FFDP's best live performance, but don't let that discourage you from making this kind of content. i especially liked the choice to review disturbed and tool!

I love that little roar at the end of your intro music.

I'm a total metal head, and your honesty was sincere and appreciated. Great job

The actual video gives his singing voice more redemption than this live video. If you do 5FDP again, react to “Jekyll and Hyde”.

The acoustic version is beautiful, you should react to that one 😍

Absolutely love this band got to see them live a few years back and need to go to another show soon

Can’t wait to see Five Finger come back out on tour. They have been going hard since 05. And hope for many many more awesome years!!!!

Seen him live and he did way better than in this performance... Let’s just wait for your next great video

I would love to see you react to some Gojira. You would be blown away :D

Seeing it live draws an emotional that's hard to describe

The video sends a better message concerning the subject matter, and was the reason I listened to it more than I might have otherwise; well, that and the intro.

If you haven't done much metal check out Pantera Cemetery Gates and Walk. And some Slipknot. Maybe Snuff and then Psychosocial.

How about Killswitch Engage, either My Curse or The End of Heartache?

Iced earth burning times live in athens thank you beth xxx

Damn... Everytime! That "rawwrr" at the beginning.. the intro.. it gets me everytime! xD lmao! Also, have said this before but say it again - your name, Roars.. so badass! Ans suites you spot on! :)

Ill throw out Ronnie James Dio again. One of the best vocalists of all time.

Please react to Pearl jam - black(unplugged)

In this moment is an amazing band to look at

One note on being sensible at gigs - I go to a lot of shows, and the best thing is to get a good pair of earplugs. Not the crappy foam ones they sell for 2 bucks at the venue, but good quality reusable ones (you can get a very good pair online for $15 or so). Not only will they preserve your hearing (which you really don't want to lose), but they'll cancel out the noise of the crowd, which has a side effect of making you scream less, because people have a tendency to shout to be heard over the people around them so they can hear themselves. So when you can hear yourself, you tend not to shout/scream. Ever since I started with good quality earplugs several years back, I find I'm not only able to hear these sorts of loud concerts much better, but I go home without any ringing or fuzziness in my ears, and my voice doesn't hurt. Also, agree with some others here that this was a particularly poor example of FFDP live - I've seen them a few times and they are generally better than this. But even so, I thought it was a very fair, even generous reaction.

Ha, "are they Irish?" No. Very much not 😂

They have an acoustic version you would have a better time with.

Yes good very good! The fact you can understand what hes saying says it all!!

righteous brother-loving feeling!

Pantera - Cementary Gates would have been a better choice lol

Queensryche, Tokyo 1985.....Take hold of the flame, Queen of the Ryche, the Lady wore black.

I'm friends with the guitar player Jason Hook. All theses guys are super down to earth and nice guys.

Your warning about straining your voice at gigs made me smile.Up until a few years ago I would lose my voice for a day or two after every live gig I saw.The result of screaming at the top of my lungs and trying to sing along to the likes of Iron Maiden,Motorhead,Rainbow,Dio,Black Sabbath,Deep Purple,Rush and many,many more over the years.It's just as well that I've been getting into folk music in recent years.It's definitely easier on your vocal cords lol.(Still like to listen to my old metal/hard rock stuff though.)

listen to their song Wrong Side of Heaven

I would have preferred a reaction to under and over it by 5FDP

Fan of yours and 5FDP and have been since day one. This song, as much as I love it and the reason I'm a fan, is the wrong song/video to react to for the first time. If you wanna see something powerful, emotional and a testament to them and Ivans abilities, please react to "Wrong Side of Heaven". Such a heavy song, lyrically, and the music video will hit you hard. Makes me cry every time I see it without fail.

I love the effort to maintain as much diplomacy as possible😂

I love the way you said “beards”! I will say that I agree with the criticisms. This type of metal isn’t what I’d call vocal perfection, and FFDP is not really a band that is driven by technical vocals. There are styles of metal that are, of course. It’s not easy to learn how to scream like that, and I suspect in many cases it’s not good for the voice because they aren’t producing it in a good way.

Can you react to “And plague flowers the kaleidoscope” by ne obliviscaris?

Love your hair in this video!

Looks like this was the end of their set. I have seen them live and his voice is an absolute standout.

If you want to hear Ivan Moody singing cleanly, you should check out A Tale for a Penny from The Devil's Carnival

U should really listen to their song "I Apologize ". You can hear the range of Ivan's voice. He really is amazing!

I love this girl

Demons and Wizards - Fiddler on the Green, you will love it, outstanding vocals.

Yea...he keeps backing out of the hard parts. Trivium is my best response...but the correct live version is the hard part...

React to Cemetery gates by Pantera!

Ticked that like box. It would be interesting to see your take on the FFDP song Lift Me Up because it has Rob Halford from Judas Priest on guest vocals and he comes in like a thunderstorm after Ivan's part. The contrast between styles is staggering when you put them next to each other in the same song, especially in how they both handle the chorus differently.

I loveee ur intro!!! Rawr! Lol

Yeah, this is not the type of song you listen to if you're analyzing vocal performances. But there are songs by FFDP that would have been a better choice for that sort of reaction.

Just here to witness an adult listening to 5FDP by choice.

This is some actually good screaming, more of a growl. Then a scream. But his is really raw and that really fits there style and aesthstetic

Proud to say as a native, they're a Colorado Band.

Do Pantera Domination live in Moscow

Wrong side of heaven by five finger death punch would have been a better song to start with

2:58 “I love his beard” 😂 ya Chris has a kickass beard

Ivan does have a great voice. I really liked his performance in the musical Devil's Carnival.

Please react to Creed - What If or Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera

Wintersun - Time live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studio pls 😎👍

Saw 5FDP back in... 2011 and they blew the roof off the arena. Everybody was going apeshit

"Pride" from them is also a very good showcase of his voice.

Please review Alice In Chains Nutshell Unplugged

Beth you should check out The wrong side of heaven and the right side of hell from 5FPD .Good reaction to this video and song from them

cool - I have not heard anyone mention Cèilidh since the last highland games. Do you enjoy the Great Highland Pipes? oh - enjoyed the reaction too!

I really love FFDP but I’ve always had the belief that vocally, they’re a studio band. Yes, I’ve seen them live and various live videos of their performances. This video solidifies my thought process.

Not a great song to start with and definitely not a good (from a technical stand-point etc) performance of said song - Ivan is a good lead more so than a good singer, his voice is incredibly distinctive and powerful and he has great stage presence. I'd love to see some more Opeth, Ghost of Perdition and Demon of the Fall both have very good live performances on youtube. Another video you should definitely consider is "Contaminate Me" by Leprous live at the Rockafeller, a great song with Ihsahn who's another one of the absolute best.

Five Finger Death Punch Live is a lot like pizza. Even when it’s pretty bad, it’s still good 🤣

Really need to listen to the album version.

Earned a sub because you reviewed this song

This was was some worst concerts, try a recorded one next time

Definitely should give these guys another chance, wrong song choice 100%. Something like Wrong Side of Heaven or Gone Away

I too have lost my voice at an Iron Maiden concert! Totally worth it!

Yes! I was so confident you were Scottish but didn't want to be rude. You do awesome work!

The studio version was way better.

Love this band, but this is a really bad example of their performance. I would love to see you react to some Sabaton. Perhaps the song Night Witches

I was so surprised and excited when she said my name in the beginning even tho it wasn't for me 😂😂

Been a ffdp fanatic from day one.. love what they stand for.. love who they employ.. I feel every song they put out.. to me this is what music should command. I can't get into iron maiden and it's opera style.. Pantera, lamb of god, Godsmack, Metallica, sepeltura, slipknot.. it's music like that that drives me everyday

This performance was disappointing, not there best

Out of all the requests ? This band sucks , listen to mike Patton from Faith no more , Mr bungle , Tomahawk , Fantomas countless others !

Hey Beth keep up the good work but a tip from me to you is to look up false cord techniques (that’s the heavy metal screaming) hope this helps and I hope you enjoy your day :)

Hi Beth. 5FDP is a pretty cool band. Their song Lift Me Up is amazing. Rob Halford is a guest singer on it. His voice is one of the best and most iconic in metal. You mentioned the guy who lost his voice after an Iron Maiden concert. That happened to me after one of their concerts when I was a kid.

Absolutely nothing special about this band or singer. Your lack of reaction says it all.

no style...lead singer’s screaming and growling has its place but not in this song. A totally forgetful performance. Al

Should have done the acoustic version of this song!!

Not a FFDP fan but I enjoy the fact that you are willing to listen to anything and not just play it safe. 👍🤘

The other reason people can do themselves a mischief is that when it's really loud and you can't hear yourself, it's hard to tell how much you're pushing your voice - or you want to give that bit extra so that you *can* hear yourself. I know this more from the pub than from gigs!

A must hear song is "a-ha - Take On Me (Live From MTV Unplugged)" Different from original and yet soooo good

I've seen them live a few times. This sounds like maybe the end of a few long weeks on tour maybe a few dates too close together. I see that others are recommending Killswitch Engage, End of Heart ache. I really think you would enjoy it.

I have screamed myself silent, twice, as a teenager. Now my throat closes shut when I try to sing or raise my voice

Your London accent got me!!

30 seconds into video... Holy my whiskey, shes a redhead, cute and her accent is godly adorable. Subscribed😂

If you haven't yet, check out "wash it all away".

Absolutely love 5FDP
