@@ShenDoodles It's not a case of they 'let him', I'm pretty sure he owns the rights to Angus McFife (as a name/character). The band name (Gloryhammer) too, he's apparently trademarked. Makes sense, since he's in Law and that.
I found gloryhammer through dragonforce. I was watching the auditions and found this one and saw he was in a band called Gloryhammer boom I saw them like 2 months later and again a year after with Thomas
@@katr_i_na I read an interview where Chris asked him to be the singer of gloryhammer. So I dont think he has the name of the band but I do agree with him owning Angus cuz I did see a lot of interviews about him coming up with Angus mcfife and that he's inspired by Link from Zelda
I heard this is how Gloryhammer learned about you. Thanks for keeping it online because it's a part of history, and many guys that get placed into bands take them down. I enjoy your work and hope to hear more of it in the future
Back watching this again after six years. PLEASE have your solo band cover this! This sounds too perfect for an epic fantasy journey like Angus McSix's.
It's pretty good for him that he got out just before their racist implosion right afterwards. His career moves on while they stuck themselves in the fascist section.
@@The_WatchList A group chat with everyone but Thomas got leaked and it was full of racist jokes and statements. It was like a bloody Xbox Live lobby. I guess Thomas wasn't in that chat.
very sad right now, but also very excited to see where you go from now, the today Thomas is very different from 10 years ago Thomas, you're a giant figure in the power metal scene now, you'll do great things, i know it
Hernan Li mentioned that you auditioned in a reaction to sixcalibur, I never thought i would find this gem, you were always meant to be one of the best power metal singers, ALL HAIL ANGUS
I NEVER KNEW YOUR TRIED OUT FOR DRAGONFORCE! Ahhhhh!! In an alternate dimension there's a version of you singing in Dragonforce. Either way I LOVE your new band even MORE! I would kill to be in a band like that, but Southern California is trash when it comes to power metal. lol
the voice of Angus Mcfife, something that can only be described as powerful, like a mighty war cry in battle, honestly goes great with a DragonForce song like this, it is unfair what happened but I say you were quite lucky to escape, now you have more opporotunity, and many fans will still be with you, and most like me, We can not wait to see where you go, and how far you reach, even if it is like doing covers of already existing songs like you did here for an audition, Or a full on project, us fans, will forever be here with you all the way. Long live the true prince of dundee.
Personally, I think you sound better than the actual Dragonforce singer. But luckily for us, you were able to be in Gloryhammer, which blows Dragonforce out of the water! I love the concept of it, and your voice is phenomenal.
he is a better singer for sure than Marc Hudson, but he just doesn't suit Dragonforce for vocals, but who gives a shit cause Gloryhammer is fuckn way better haha
This guy was a gem even back then, I managed to know him through his work with Nanowar of Steel in Valhalleluja, gotta admit I'm glad he became the singer of Gloryhammer instead of Dragonforce and that he collaborated with Nanowar. His Odin in Valhalleluja was truly majestic.
I saw him live back in 2012 when he toured with Emerald and met him backstage. Already a great singer, I remember thinking of Michael Kiske when I heard him sing.
I'm too shy to be this free while singing, even when I'm alone in my room. Seeing all this passion is mind-blowing. I promise I'll make a good use of the inspiration you give. I hope I'll see you guys at bloodstock! It's my current biggest dream.
I just discovered Glory Hammer this past week. Love it! Watched a couple of your live performances with Glory Hammer. You are a great frontman! Not many really great frontman, that can take command of a crowd like that and could move them to do whatever. You definitely stand with in my opinion the greats: Alice Cooper, Freddie Mercury, Paul Stanley, Blackie Lawless, Kevin Dubrow, Joey Ramone, Ronnie James Duo, Bruce Dickinson.
Well... i love to see that the strenght and power was always part of your voice, heart and soul... i will not wish you lucky tho... it would an insult to all your efforts... success is what i wish you... strenght is what i desire for your future and career. All hail Angus McSix
Well thank fuck he didnt join DragonForce! Gloryhammer has put out 3 albums so far, and every release is better than the last. Thanks for all your amazing music
A recently-formed symphonic power metal band from Scotland after looking at this: "Join us, for your destiny awaits beyond the outer reaches of the galaxy."
Marc is the perfect fit for Dragonforce, and Thomas is the perfect fit for Gloryhammer. There is no other way and the thing could not have turned out any other way.
I'm a huge DF fan, and a fan of Gloryhammer. I'm glad DF didn't pick him, because his voice is so much better suited for Gloryhammer. He is an amazing singer, but i like Marc better for DF, but think they are both equally good.
Your addition demo was by far the best one Thomas, although they didn't chose you, you went on to become something much greater & that thing is...."GLORYHAMMER!!!!"
I'm glad you joined up with the forces of Hoots, Thomas. And I'm glad that Ben and the others joined forces with you. Latest album is so good it's kinda breaking the rules of the galaxy.
Viajero del tiempo: *pisa una hormiga* Toda la línea temporal: bueno, señor Thomas, es usted el nuevo vocalista de Dragonforce Time Traveler: * steps on an ant * Whole timeline: well Mr. Thomas, are you the new vocalist for Dragonforce
so, wait, did they scour another band's auditions to snipe a singer? lol that's cheeky! for what it's worth, i think the higher end of your voice is a good fit, but the lows.... nah. glory hammer was better for you, imo
Ive been a huge fan of DragonForce and even bigger fan of Gloryhammer for years. A part of me is glad he didn't end up with DragonForce, because his time with Gloryhammer (IMO) outshined anything DragonForce ever did. I feel like he found his real voice with Gloryhammer and oh my GOD what a voice! I'd put Thomas in the same league as Rob Halfred and Dio. This man is held in my highest regards, a true legend.
This Audition Made you! Youve came so far! And I am Glad you did not stop your Vocalist Talent after GloryHammer! You Even made GloryHammer in my eyes and that is something that can never be taken away. You'll continue to Keep "The Power Metal Alive"
They missed out, thankfully because you are now the Hero of all Space Time. The universe would have been subverted and subjugated by Zargothrax. Ripple effect. Fate is a weird mistress.
Man did Dragonforce miss out on an outstanding vocalist but it was for the better as you went on to front the Greatest band to be formed since Lost Horizon who has the only singer that could rival you (he is my personal favorite but has a shitty attitude). I cnat wait for the day when Gloryhammer tours the states and when you do please come to Rochester, New York or someplace close
is this a joke? are you lip syncing? I havent heard MUCH dragonforce, but sounds exactly like the singer. One would call your moves "cheesy", but i think they perfect for a front man....Jeez man, how did you manage to strengthen them pipes?lol You better end up in a huge powermetal band.
i'm glad that they didn't choose you, maybe Gloryhammer wouldn't exist
Ignacio Catalán Me too!
lol they didn't even have the chance to choice him he did it late but that was best mistake he ever made.
At first I was like "f u" but then I was like "oh, good point!"
Actually it still would. Christopher Bowes started Gloryhammer in 2010 and Winkler joined in 2011.

Angus McSix now xD
Now he’s one better
Hail to the Angus McSix!
You are our true legendary prince. Just make more epic and cheesy songs!
I feel so bad for being late to this news, but EXCITED! Glad Thomas didn't let the BS stop him. His voice is TOO DAMN EPIC to not keep singing!

Nobody got nothin on Rob Halford
Ahh, the legendary audition. Five years later and You are legendary. Can't wait to see Gloryhammer this saturday in Warsaw! Hail!
GH played in Warsaw... I wish I knew about them then. Argh...
This guy was a gem even back then, I managed to know him through his work with Nanowar of Steel in Valhalleluja, gotta admit I'm glad he became the singer of Gloryhammer instead of Dragonforce and that he collaborated with Nanowar.
His Odin in Valhalleluja was truly majestic.
Not gonna lie, that one moment when he ends his part and does his "valhallelujaaaa" always gives me chills
I saw him live back in 2012 when he toured with Emerald and met him backstage. Already a great singer, I remember thinking of Michael Kiske when I heard him sing.
@@Dzonnyg Same. I ended up here because I kept going back to replay that one 'valhalleluja' and realized I needed more.
And they trying to say this guy ever needed lessons. He sings with rasp as a choice, not damage
