Shaq's Chris Stapleton reaction video is hilarious.



It was like my cracker arse getting down to Al Green for the first time.

I really, really enjoy seeing the reactions of novices to music that I've listened to my entire life - it's like experiencing it again through their eyes.

No doubt. Definitely jealous I'm not just discovering great music for the first time, but it's enjoyable watching these reactions.

Here's another good Tennessee Whiskey reaction video: LINK

I watched quite a few reactions from Shaq. He seemed genuine in his Stapleton reaction His “Killing in the Name” reaction was pretty good.

It’s a bit annoying him saying “that’s tough!” so many times but it was entertaining nonetheless.

I just watched one of a dude listening to SRV do Voodoo Chile live (maybe at ACL? not sure). He was completely blown the frick away - just like I am for the two hundredth time.

I like the Lost in Vegas guy who sits on the the right from the viewer’s perspective. He’s realized he loves drumming, so as a drummer I like seeing what he likes.

They also dig on some Chris Stapleton and seem to respect country music in addition to being able to “get” what is metal and even respect the heavier stuff even if it doesn’t catch them at first.

True music people all around.

He likes the drumming but hes been meh on Slayer with Dave Lombardo who is probably one of the best drummers in metal.

I mean...how can you listen to Metallica's "One" and NOT like it??


The impressive thing is they were like 21 years old when they wrote it.

Been watching react videos for a while now. Who would have guessed black people like Megadeth so much? Not me.


I taught high school students in ebr for 8 years. Many of the black males wore Metallic and Megadeth sweatshirts all the time. I thought it was a fashion thing...but I finally asked. Nope! Many actually love heavy metal. They also love country (the pop stuff). My mind was opened. It's not odd though. White dudes like rap, but it still shocked me at first.

That Metallica one was great. Great song choice to introduce him to it as well. Love that song.

I hated Metallica in the 90s. Hated heavy metal period really. But I’ve come to love them now and feel like I missed out on cool stuff back then. Wish I would have given myself more of a chance to like stuff like that.


Guessing you are in your 40's?? Either way, in 1990 grunge shoved metal out the door. To quote, Randy "The Ram" Robinson: "Then that Cobain pussy had to come around & ruin it all."

And that was that... Rock and roll died/

Haven’t seen them do slayer songs. But slayer is a tough taste to develop. How do the pair like slayer overall?

Raining Blood was too much for them but they liked Seasons in the abyss.

Yep. Same here.

I think raining blood was one of their first. I think if they revisited it, they would like it more.
