One more. First 10 seconds.

I got bored with him championing US prog-metal bands, in which I have no interest at all, rubbish like Dream Theatre, Tool, and anything Neal Morse is attached to.

This is great: you named three of my top five “Holy cats, I can’t STAND these groups/performers!” Don’t make me adore you, man! 😍

It's unclear if he inhales, however....

I'm absolutely positive I've seen him inhale. I cannot remember just WHICH videos he did this in

😎

Found one. He shows the bong at 2:45, then . . .

Watch @ 6:03

🙂

And THIS one; showing the pipe at 3:30, then . . .

Watch @ 9:30

[Gilly Goodness]

Yeah Doug has sucked on a pipe-thing. Whacky tobaccy.

Mostly now just ride along with Justin Hawkins who really gets inside a song. Sadly not really a prog guy. Queen and ACDC are his North Stars.

Wisps of bedraggled hair, small, whiskery face, he looks like a drowned otter. But quite a smart and funny guy.

Beato is good, if he does Steely Dan, YES etc.

And enjoy seeing Jamal aka Jamel bliss out over CTTE.

OMG. I've seen several in which he "partakes". Usually on a Friday, when he goes "deep", with some longer work.

I’ve never seen him smoke pot.

I would. He has several "hooks" that keep the viewership numbers up (193K subscribers). He drinks and smokes pot on camera. He's educated in music theory.

And he listens to "harder" music. Prog Metal, Prog, & Metal.

The other two I mentioned are at 21.4K and 7.18 subscribers. Both are singers. The former is a songwriter.

The latter of the two actually started her own listening project with Beatles albums, but didn't start her reaction videos until she'd gotten halfway through . . . so it wasn't an intended thing, just one that developed. When she got to the end she circled back to the beginning and made re-reaction videos. She's moved on to Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, and now, YES. It's almost amusing how she simply listens, and knows nothing about the band. She thought that Clap was two guitarists . . . which just makes you appreciate Howe that much more.

One reaction channel I've mentioned before that I enjoy is ixi music. She has nearly 30K subscribers. She started out primarily as a NIN reaction/analysis channel but has branched off into related artists and artists of the same era. She's primarily coming from the analytical side (she has a degree in music) and I think it's an interesting perspective - not original, necessarily, but I enjoy her personality and passion. Plus I believe there should be more women in that space.

This is a long one, but she's discussing my favorite NIN album, so I'm all in favor of that.

I wouldn’t really call almost 200k subscribers a “niche”.

*dies a little inside*
Sure, I can stand your non-support of YesWest, but my Toolies?! Waaah!

🤣🤣🤣

I've recently unsubscribed from Doug's YouTube channel; it was getting predictable, and with his increased Patreon activity, with paying customers, his YT activity is fast-becoming very much a marginal thing. I got bored with him championing US prog-metal bands, in which I have no interest at all, rubbish like Dream Theatre, Tool, and anything Neal Morse is attached to.

Maybe you can explain AHM. Why? What? How? The horns?

They just wanted to explore different possibilities, and one of those was working with an orchestra. Ron Geesin became involved because of his prior friendship with Roger. But the way they composed the piece was more architectural than musical, at least at first.

Doug 'Daily Doug' Helvering has found a niche within a niche. His reaction videos feature harmonic breakdowns.

There's a couple of others I listen to, one with a young lady that has a sort of hippy sensibility to her descriptions, and another that's Aussie, and has a grasp on a bit of music theory.

Most of the rest are often insufferable to listen to/watch, as they are all "Acting" how blown away they are by what they're listening to.

I watched that.

It seemed to me that he really didn't "get it".

Gotta admit. Found it very beguiling. Maybe you can explain AHM. Why? What? How? The horns?
