Red Stars Playback - Band Reacts

Rainbow and the Diet Coke! I remember kystal saying they drink the diet cokes and that’s literally the only soda I have to have everyday

That iPad app is legendary!

Blue was the first one they did :)

Love Red Stars such a full on song :) Really want to see Shallow Grave in the hat , still want to hear the story of the different mixes.

I would love to see Over, To die for or Blue in that hat!

Glad that Red Stars got picked. I loved how the camera vibrated during the heavy riffs, that was epic! Let's see... songs to throw in the hat that might not be in the hat.... uhhhhh..... Nothing and Nowhere? I know that was a demo but I'm still curious about that one.

What a great song!! Is one of my favourite ones! BTW isn't Bat super handsome? 😍

Interesting to hear you used the Minimoog on this 🤤. I'd love to know what other vintage synths (analog or digital) you've used in different songs.... Moog has an iPad app modeling it, if anyone is curious. Search "Minimoog Model D." I think at normal price it usually hovers around $8 USD, but Moog occasionally will make it free for download.

This was great! Thanks! I'd love to hear about Pins and Needles, which I've always loved! :)

My phone text won't let me make a paragraph, but a song to add that may not already be in the hat I vote for is Surrender. I would also like to know what that song means to each member. Thanks!

I'm super happy the pick was Red Stars. Not only is it my favorite song from you guys, but it's my favorite song, period.

I was surprised when you couldn't remember the working title to Red Stars. I was yelling inside "Drop!" I was about to let you know in the comments until you figured it out!

This is great! Fingers crossed you have the next track on the album, Looking Glass, in the hat. That song and amazing video were my first exposure to the band and I’ve been all about TBM ever since.

This is probably my favorite TBM song. Great to hear the story behind it. Can you put Shiver, In This Moment and Destroyer into the hat?

💜 Really enjoyed that, thanks! I would like to suggest 2 TBM songs to go into the hat and be interested into the story behind them - 'Walking with Strangers' (this song is one that got me into TBM! Love the synths, vocals well, everything really) and 'Play Dead' the gituars on this song are completely awesome, just love this song so much

I love these deep dives! And Red Stars is a fave. One of my best gig experiences is seeing you perform this for the first time and finding out that Rainbow has the same instinct to jump that I do. Also, I'm sorry to be a bother, I know you're all super busy, but I sent you an important DM a month ago? I have a little thank you gift that I'd like to get to Chibi, the artist who mad it is currently hanging on to it, but she can't keep it in her studio forever. 😅

I'd love to hear the background to Surrender!

I would like to hear you do a reaction vid to "Promise Me" - there's something about that track that does it for me, it's almost cinematic and gives me the flying feels when the keyboards do that thingy near the end. For you, it would probably be like looking back at your high school yearbooks and being like "WTF?" lol :-)

I love when you guys talk about the lyrical meaning of your songs because it's so interesting to see how you come up with these amazing lyrics. I would love to see you add like Play With Fire, Leaving Tonight and Burn Away into the Mix. Oh and definitely Hex and Surrender, those song are one of my favorites especially Surrender.

Nice song choice since "Red Stars" was the first song I heard from you! if you do another one of these, can you throw "Oceania" into the mix? I know Chibi answered my question about the song on a Q&A session a couple months ago, but I'd like to hear more about it from the whole band. Thanks!

All TBM songs are #1 ... everything else is #2 💩 ohhhhhh

Thanks for that, it's always great to hear about the story behind a song. It would be really interesting to hear how you recorded 'In The Dark' as that's the first song of yours I heard🤘🙂

The moment when the screen started shaking, I thought "yeah, that's how this song should be played everywhere, to make it shake the foundations"! What was the job you've quit, Michael?

Nice listening session! I love how the camera was shaking as the heavy parts of the song were playing 😅
