They are insanely good, original and has such crazy stage presence, oh, they have a litle prop up for the drummer, yet they own the entire god damn stage, no pyrotechnics, no props, not running around "trying" to own the stage, they just play their music and own the stage straight up!
Thank you so much for reacting to this. I thought you'd love it and I'm so glad you did. I love the technical talk, as a none musician it's good to hear these things. This song always leaves me breathless. Johannes has many voices, very expressive in voice and as you see, movement. They are all amazing musicians. Thank you again.
Hahah i feel you so much. I had the same reaction the first time. Just kept getting surprised and I loved it. It felt new and interesting and still such a complete song, heavy and beautiful
Awsome reaction again! You have now explored some of the wide range of this band. Not all songs have this range, but the range between many songs are incredible huge. If you want to try more Avatar, I would recommend 'The eagle has landed', 'Paint me red', 'Let it burn', 'Tower' and 'Avatar country'.
Avatar could be one of the best live band there is. They also do some of the best videos ever. Look up the video of this and this would be a solid 10! You need to see the video to understand the song. No need for a reaction, but you need to see it for your own sake. And yes, the singing is still "laid back" for Johannes in this song. He can blow your mind, but he saves the moments.
I’m so glad that you reacted to this song!! 🤗 I love Avatar and I’m going up to Stockholm with my friends and see them irl in feb next year, yaay!! ❤️🤪 What I find sooo refreshing with them is that spark of humor in the middle of it all - eventhough the grave seriousness in many of their songs. Love, love, love them!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I saw these guys open for baby metal back in 2019 i think. The drummer had the most dead pan, unblinking stare directed straight at the crowd. It still sticks with me to this day. If that aint crowd interaction i don't know what is.
Nice reaction. I hate the stopping of the video, but that's the nature of the beast, not a complain against you at all. Another aspect of this tune are the lyrics, and the subject of the tune. It would be TOO much to expect you to pick up on everything said while he's singing, but the story of the tune is equally as impressive as anything else in the tune. It's deep, it's REALLY deep. We have seen them about 14 or 15 times. The first time we saw them, I had NO IDEA what I was in for, and even at a point the singer looked down at me (in the front row, as always almost) and he saw the expression on my face, which was a lot like yours was, and he smiled a very large smile, knowing that he had "made a sale" or accomplished his purpose. Great band. They are this way EVERY time they play. I can testify to that!! good luck David.
They've toured with magicians and freakshows and had hours worth of their own recorded radio show from the fictional country of "Avatar Country" playing before the concerts. I saw them in a relatively small venue years ago and that was propably the best concert experience I've had in my life; super fun and creative.
I'm a year late but glad to see you giving these cats a listen! One of my favorites of all time! Can't wait to dive into your catalog and see what other incredible bands you digest!
Oi! I can't believe I missed this when it came out! Yeah! You liked it too! I love, love, LOVE Avatar! They are so amazingly fun to watch and listen to. I know nothing about music, I just know what I like--and I like this! I have never been to a concert before, but I would love something like this to be my first one! I think it would be a great first experience.
Great reaction :) If you want to listen to a song with a sound very different from the two that you've already heard, I recommend you House of eternal hunt (live)
OK Ive commented on lots of your videos. AVATAR is my absolute favorite band. They are AMAZEBALLS! you need to dive into their career and discography. They are so much fun to see Live! i cant wait until October 2021 they are touring and I have tickets!!
if you really want to hear what an incredible range he has, try either Paint Me Red or A Secret Door EDIT: and Avatar Country as well! Avatar Country has an incredible AC/DC sound to it.
You said it man, these guys are showmen. So good. Keep checking them out, and keep trying to guess where the songs will go🤘 Let it Burn Statue of The King Regret. / House of Eternal Hunt A Secret Door
Back to? Must have missed the first one, so this is first time hearing this band at all for me. This sounds definitely Swedish. Are they Swedish? (checks) Yep. I have a bit of Scandinavian power/progressive/neoclassical in my collection-- mostly from the 1980s early 1990s. Not these guys, though, but fairly par for the course in my experience-- all the Scandi bands I've heard are good. I certainly appreciate the "epic"/ theatrical nature of many of these bands, I have to be in a "mood" to listen (tracks tend to be. . . lengthy).
"He can sing!" Damn right he can!
Johannes is such a versatile vocalist, listen to this and Avatar Country back-to-back and you'll see what I mean.
I think I know why he has awesome crowd control.
I talked to someone who said he was a teacher or a substitute teacher at his school.
The things i've love, the energie, the stage presence and everobody in the band is involved

Thank you again.
This band deserves way more love and radioplay and attention..... So Talented! Do Statue of the King.... Or The Eagle has Landed!
One of the best live Bands….See the Concert at Wacken 2015 an epic Show like no other 🤟🤟🤟
Hahah i feel you so much. I had the same reaction the first time. Just kept getting surprised and I loved it.
It felt new and interesting and still such a complete song, heavy and beautiful
I love your breakdowns. Having seen them live I can only say wow!
Awsome reaction again!

Smells Like A Freakshow, Avatar Country, Reload, The Eagle Has Landed...
Avatar: I've got something in my front pocket for you
This lead singer has a great voice great performance i like the circus look and David don't try to follow the song just sit back relax and enjoy
I'm a year late but glad to see you giving these cats a listen! One of my favorites of all time! Can't wait to dive into your catalog and see what other incredible bands you digest!
Only band I've seen live three times, and want to see a fourth time. Live is 50% music and 50% show. Avatar deliviers on both.
That intro was 🔥
One of the best show i've seen if not the best. It was fantastic
Oi! I can't believe I missed this when it came out! Yeah! You liked it too! I love, love, LOVE Avatar! They are so amazingly fun to watch and listen to. I know nothing about music, I just know what I like--and I like this! I have never been to a concert before, but I would love something like this to be my first one!

Loved you're reaction to this and how you told us the technical side of it. I'd love to see your reaction to The Legend of the King.
Just keep em comming 💥😊💥
Torn apart live is amazing aswell
8:29 Guy flexes muscles
"That is pretty" perfect timing lol
So freaking good 👌🖤
Great reaction :) If you want to listen to a song with a sound very different from the two that you've already heard, I recommend you House of eternal hunt (live)
First time listen for me. I really enjoyed it!
The pigs were squealing! 🐖🐖 Amazing intro!

they are very entertaining found them some years ago, they have so much good songs left :)
if you really want to hear what an incredible range he has, try either Paint Me Red or A Secret Door
EDIT: and Avatar Country as well! Avatar Country has an incredible AC/DC sound to it.
You said it man, these guys are showmen. So good. Keep checking them out, and keep trying to guess where the songs will go🤘
Let it Burn
Statue of The King
Regret. / House of Eternal Hunt
A Secret Door
Try the eagle has landed. The official video
Back to? Must have missed the first one, so this is first time hearing this band at all for me.

So Colossus from AVATAR next.....
If you want a heavier Avatar song do Silence in the Age of Apes. Statue of the King is another good one too.
Listen and watch the studio version. You won't be dissapointed
He needs to listen to a secret door by them
All the talk about being a ring master, wait till he finds out about The King😂
That song was an 11 out of 10 :). Just saying....
Sadly, this version has shit vocal audio. Get In Line at Wacken 2015 is what you want.
Listen to the Scorpions “Coming Home” and you will hear that swell. Love Avatar and the new album is going to be 🔥
