![[First Listen and Reaction] Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars [TomTuffnuts Reacts]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LghxP__qMfw/mqdefault.jpg)
I started with Nightwish, then got hooked on Amorphis and now Wintersun hypnotices me. I am from Finland and a female and you are great being so humble in front of this talented band.
Each to their own. But for me this is one of the greatest ever tracks of all time, any genre bar none. I have said it before but in my opinion even Floor would have to be at her very best to come close to the emotion of Jari's vocals on this one. Oh and the music. Such a shame that many are not aware of this band. I appreciate your honest reactions to Wintersun.
Totally agree with your assessment and opinion.
You are a wise man Ronnie.The biggest fan of Wintersun ever and a great guy. Greetings from your littlebrother Finland.
Totally agree 🤘🏻
Every Wintersun track is a masterpiece🤘😀
This is one of the best songs EVER.
I enjoy your honest and genuine reactions and it is a joy, as you said, to see someone else hearing wonderful music and getting to experience that with them. Jari (Yari) Mäenpää used to be in the band Ensiferum and started Wintersun as a personal project which eventually led to him leaving his former band around 2004. He records a ridiculous number of tracks and has had problems with computers not being able to cope with it all. It must be a nightmare for live performances. They definitely have backing tracks but from what I have heard and seen they are pretty dynamic live. I see someone has given you links below. Jari's voice has improved tremendously with each album. He has really worked on it as he was primarily a guitarist and took up singing because they needed a singer lol. I get the impression he is a little eccentric, perhaps bordering on the genius level can do that. Most of their songs are pretty long, though they have one under 3 mins "Beyond the Dark Sun", from their first album. If you get time I would like to see you react to "Sadness and Hate" ua-cam.com/video/x3s19wDvyeU/v-deo.html Cheers from Australia.
Loved this! Jari's insane vocals ooze emotion and touch your soul! "Loneliness (Winter)" (official lyric video) next, please. It is the saddest, most beautiful song, a true masterpiece as well.
You are pure entertainment to listen. No unnecessary bull shit!
And you are able to give the gredit to someone who deserves it!
Greetings from Finland💪🇫🇮!
Their first album has more traditional melodeath. I’d recommend “Winter Madness” for something like that. Their “Live at Tuska” concert from 2013 is pretty good quality. Here’s a video that combines fancam video with the audio from the desk: ua-cam.com/video/ah8vgIOCe-c/v-deo.html
Jari (lead singer) actually records all the instruments except drums in the studio. Kai wasn’t available to record their last album due to his Nightwish commitments, and so Jari programmed them.
Great reaction 😂😂😁👍🤘🤘Greetings from Finland 🤗
Great reaction. Probably my favorite Wintersun song. My other favorite is Loneliness (Winter) from the Forest Season's album. ua-cam.com/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/v-deo.html Jari wrote after the death of his father. One of the best songs at capturing the quiet and emptiness of winter. Very atmospheric. Only other song that comes close is the the Quiet as the Snow movement from Nightwish's All the Works of Nature that Adorn the World. Never seen them live but given the complexity of the music (200-300 tracks for each recording) I am curious how they perform these songs live.
Spot on about Jukka, the bassist here, now being the new Nightwish bassist. Drummer Kai is also the current Nightwish Drummer. Different Jukka was Nightwish's previous drummer but had to retire for medical reasons and is now in band management.
For something similar but different checkout Jari's previous band Ensiferum (Latin for sword bearing). They are a Finnish folk metal band with strong viking/questing vibes to their music. Jari was only in the band for the first two albums and I think those are the best. I haven't found any live video's with Jari and the band. One of my favorites is Lai Lai Hei. ua-cam.com/video/uEqsfYLRqDc/v-deo.html. There is also a live acoustic version and a live album version from Wacken 2018 after Jari left the band to work on Wintersun. Also love Treacherous Gods and Windrider.
Jukka Koskinen is bassplayer here and in Nightwish nowadays. Jukka Nevalainen was former drummer of Nightwish and Kai Hahto is drummer here and in Nightwish.
It was about time
What a great and honest reaction this was. As a guitarist yourself you know how they do it but can't tell how the hell they do it :) Your reaction is almost same as mine was at mine first listening. Now that i've heard this tens and tens of times I may finally follow the time signature of each part and makes listening more pleasant, enjoyable I mean.. One said this is advanced metal and you have to be advanced listener to follow.. Great reaction as always, will follow your real reactions in a future also 👍
Your background with September Sky, and a fan of this genre provides you with a great ear for this kind of music. Great reaction. (and yes, the bass player and drummer during this era of Wintersun are now both with Nightwish)
As a big Wintersun fan, this was exactly the video where i wanted to watch u while u watching Wintersun :) and appreciated it a lot!
"Beautiful Death" & "Sadness and Hate"🤘😉
Next: Wintersun - Land of snow and sorrow - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios ua-cam.com/video/cZB6JVllJSg/v-deo.html
As a gitarist yourself, I would love to see you react to "Teemu Mäntysaari - Winther Madness giveaway. Teemu shows and talks about playing and picking technique for some of Wintersuns songs. These guys are on another level.
Tace care man!
Or Teemu Mäntysaari - Seventh arpeggio
The talent in Wintersun is way off the charts - no wonder why Tuomas Holopainen now as 50% of the musicians, seen in this video, as permanent Nightwish members now
Wintersun - Starchild (live in baltimore 2018)
Love that song and live video.
Absolutely one of the best bands and also a refreshing and a very good comments.
You're correct about Kai and Jukka now being in Nightwish. The original drummer of Nightwish was also Jukka.
This song has about 200 tracks in the mix. The album took longer than expected because the systems weren't available when Jari conceived of this.
Here is a link to one of their live performances... ua-cam.com/video/4KT28_q78Vg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WintersunExtras. You'll notice the drummer is different and Jari is only the singer. Wintersun is more of a project of Jari's, similar to what Ayreon is for Arjen.
Kai is Nightwish's current drummer and is also a jazz drummer. Which may explain some of the funky time signature shifts.
One of the most amazing metalsongs ever! Love It and love Wintersun!
Third and the final song from this same live studio session to react: ua-cam.com/video/gEBFn8tkdFA/v-deo.html
Yea, Jari (the singer) composes and records pretty much everything except drums and some background vocals. The synth stuff is all pre-recorded.
Kai and Jukka are now also members of Nightwish, yes.
One of the most beautiful guitar soli's i've heard in a while........
I like ur honest reactions. Don't diminish urself so much. Just try to enjoy. To understand finnish music better I have couple of suggestions: Kingston Wall - Shine On Me. Piirpauke - Konevitsan Kirkonkellot. Wigwam - Grass for Blades. Pekka Pohjola - Rita.
A very delightful reaction! Unlike with many reactors you're not always sure if they are genuine but with the last wintersun reaction you have honest opinions and criticism and that's great. Here you don't give any criticism (and it doesn't need to since it's a masterpiece) and by your dissecting of the song it's very evident that it was a real delight to you as well.
Next song which you should not miss is Loneliness (Winter). It's by far the best vocal performance by Jari
They play along to backing tracks live. I saw them in 2012!
And yes this is also the current basist of NW who replaced Marko.
Complexity!! Is almost too lame a word for them 🥰🥰
The concept album Forest seasons is also not an easy listening kind, but after listening, maybe you have to do that five times, then you suddenly find a lot of geniousity, where nothing is left to coincidence 🥰🥰
But there is many other pieces to fly away with 🥰🥰
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
i think Jari..the singer and guitarist..plays all those backing tracks himself..not sure but thats what i have heard
I think the bit at the beginning is a mix of synth and piezo pickups on the guitars.
I believe singer Jari plays all the intruments except the drums on tracks. Excellent reaction.
You really need the check loneliss from wintersun, its Jari's tribute to his father
Yeah, both of them are now in Nightwish (Unfortunately). Nightwish have been poaching here and there to survive even if they don't really diserve it IMO. I don't think Wintersun is done by now but future looks grim at this point because of that.
Sorry for the Nightwish lovers out there, I lost all respect for that band many years ago.
Cheers
To put it simply Time is a fucking masterpiece.
Live versions in the video titled "Wintersun - Live at Sabaton Open Air, Sweden 2015 FULL SHOW" "Darkness And Frost" & "Time" between 25:58 and 37:43 and "Sons Of Winter And Stars" between 04:27 and 17:50. It's the Jari's channel.
Also enjoy the wall of Sounds : video on YT titled "Wintersun - Time (Live in Los Angeles 2018)"
Hopefully you are ok with me mentioning this, but a week or so ago I listened to September Sky's song "Time" (a 2020 single I believe), and I thought to myself, 'I hope he gets a chance to react to, or even experience off channel Wintersun's "Time"'.
Awesome! Hope you enjoyed it. Certainly not the masterpiece this was 🤘
@@massivemetalreactions I do enjoy it. Complexity isn't the only bar to measure quality with, including masterpieces. Judging from your shelf in the background, you are quite familiar with some masterpieces that don't exhibit the complexity of this progressive metal leaning song.
Wintersun definitely need repeated listens. I must have missed your reaction to "Sons of Winter and Stars". I'll go and check that out. 🤘🤘❤❤ There are a few good reactions to Kai Haito on drum cam for Wintersun. Here's one: ua-cam.com/video/xNBFI0HAsxg/v-deo.html Kai and Jukka are definitely the current drummer and bassist with Nightwish. Jari - guitar and vocals - multi-tracked the keyboards. They never found a keyboardist to play with them and they used backup tapes for live performances. There are some live performances out there, but the ones I've found don't match the quality of the recorded material.
Desperation. That's the thing i see from Jari when he sings those high notes.
In your previous Wintersun reaction I 100% agreed with you that Sons of Winter and Stars needs multiple listens until it fully opens up. I said this works from 1st listen, but maybe that was too optimistic, haha
You asked for live stuff.
Jari plays every instruments but drums, himself.
Tuska festival I do believe, is a live recording and I mean it is about 2012 🤗🇩🇰
kai hahto playing a cover of meshuggah´s WAR you must see
У певца Яри нет половины легкого, который отрезали, когда он в финской армии заболел туберкулезом, а он при этом поет как Бог
Here is a great live recording with clear sound: ua-cam.com/video/DyH9_X7sYPE/v-deo.html
And the bässplayer is now also in Nightwish.
😁🇫🇮❤️🎼🎹🎸🥁🥁✨💙🤘
Their bassist, Jukka Koskinen is Nightwish current bassman👍🎶🤘
