lol even when they're off tour they don't really see their families due to russian annexation in eastern ukraine which includes their hometown donetsk.
since when they are from Donieck ?, if you could understood ukrainian at the beginning of the song u would no talking bulshit ... I mean both of you James and Jen ..." Those who took always care about you and lifted you over their heads (as a child), late Spring were overgrown by grass" (it's a methafor because graves are overgrown by grass when Spring comes ....).... They are missing their parents ....who are dead already ....o tempora o mores ....
I love this song and love your reaction! It's one of their most interesting ones to me and it's in my top 5 Jinjer songs. Interesting rhythms, great vocals, such a vibe. It's about being away from their family. The song references having a positive and loving childhood, having nostalgia and homesickness, but also knowing their current life is so far removed from the past. The Russian in the beginning translates to: "Who raised you? Brightened up your sadness with love? Late in the spring, they will become overgrown with grass, The one who carried you over their head" Basically meaning that later in life, the people who raised and loved you will become forgotten when they carried you and sacrificed to give you the life you have now.
Jinjer is one of the best rhythm sections in different music genres !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanx for your reaction. I have been a musician for over 40 years and Jinjer is definitely one of a kind. greetings from germany and stay safe
Jinjer - Judgement and Punishment (one take vocal) is an absolute must for you bud. They are just the best, I love these guys. Keep up the great vids! \m/
Been a fan for about 10 yrs now and followed their progression, this is by far one of my top bands out there. Imo there is not one boring song from Jiner and it is for sure a musicians band, the level of every member is so mind blowing, they are such nice people.
Fun reaction. They've said the song is about Tatiana, Eugene and Roman being separated from their families who are on the other side of the battle lines in the war in eastern Ukraine, with no end in sight unless Ukraine accepts Russia's demand to make the eastern part of their nation a Russian puppet state. And their parents are getting older and knowing they won't be able to be with them through their elder years. The video broadens that focus on family to their found family within the band, and the extended family of their fans.
I know this video is a year old, but I think you nailed it by calling Jinjer possibly the best rhythm section in metal. Progressive, but doesn’t drone and has unpredictable structures or hangs. Knowing builds with surprises…
Oh how I love, love, love this song! So underrated, doesn´t pop up as much as it should in recomendations and reaction videos! One of the best, if not the best side by side with Judgement & Punishment, from last album Macro. The intro, the melodic guitar, the russian vocals, the lyrics, the meaning, the rythm, the amazing bass work, the shifts, the drums, the....everything! Even the video is awesome! Good reaction, go for some older bangers like Just Another official or Captain Clock live at Ressurection Fest! Peace!
Dude, love your reactions, been following your journey down the Jinjer rabbit hole!!! Love the way she sings the intro in Russian. Lots of comments on this vid since it came out for them to do a whole song in Russian, very beautiful language for Tati to sing. Do the official vid for "Just Another" next!! It has Dimtry Kim on drums. Dimtry is still good friends with the band and helped them do the "Ape, One Shot" vid. He's a killer drummer, and plays on the King of Everything album. Vlad definitely had his work cut out for him when he took the throne! But, I think without Vlad, they would not have been able to ascend to the next level of prog they're at now. He was the perfect addition. Vlad is an outstanding musician all the way - he's a pianist, plays guitar, and is one of the best "open handed" drummers I've seen so far!
I say this almost every one of your Jinjer reactions but they are the best band that is touring anywhere in the world. This band is in the top three technically proficient of all time. The dynamic of Tati being the frontwoman, in the beginning, catch most everyone by surprise, but then you hear the band and are BLOWN away. Love this reaction, as always, I admire your breakdowns of the bass and musicianship in general. Last thing, where did you get that shirt, its badass brother. Much continued success!
Thought you would really dig this song, sooo much going on in it. The line you probably heard "Childhood of misery is lifelong injury" is a quote from one of their earlier songs 'Dreadful Moments' - a pretty heavy song with dark lyrics. It was about one of I think Eugene's friends and what he went through growing up. If you look at the lyrics Tati goes on to say "No, it's not for me. What I've always had, Father's love and Mother's hand".
HELLO FROM NEW ENGLAND IN THE STATES...EUGENE IS THE CLIFF BURTON OF THIS ERA..THE CHORDS THE TAPPING THE ATTACK HE US THE BEST BASSIST IN METAL..PEACE TO YOU ALL WE WILL PULL THRU THIS...
UA-cam was recommending Jinjer to me for months before I finally accepted my fate and allowed some new music into my life. I continue to be blown away by their music. That experience with opening myself to Jinjer led me to opening myself to another artist I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on. That being Devin Townsend. It's hard to explain why I love the music he makes so much. If you aren't already familiar with his music, may I request you check out his former band, Devin Townsend Project, and their live performance of Deadhead at the Royal Albert Hall? I find the performance overwhelming in all the best ways and I'd be interested in your perspective on it.
If you like this song, which is more prog-metal, you gotta check out Bad Water, one their oldest songs. It's got a really cool video. When I saw Jinjer live it was the song that stood out the most to me in their set. I think you'd like it!
Ah, I see that the official video for On The Top was recommended there at the end, best listen to UA-cam 😉😂 they’ve released a couple new videos too, both for songs you’ve already done, I think. The Judgement & Punishment one-take is pretty excellent tho, I must say 👌🏻
Yay!! Such a good song! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 On the Top live in Kiev is a must watch. I hope you react to as many videos as possible (even though you wanna start listening to them properly). 😉
0:23 - Yeah, It's Macro, not Micro. Napalm Records' typo will be there forever because they won't take the video down to correct it and lose all the views and comments. Oh, well... I'm sure NR's boss had a word or three with someone in his video editing department back then. >: ) 3:06 - The bottom right clip was from their Loudwire interview, which is available on YT, of course.
My understanding is that they left home in Crimea to go to Kiev to better establish themselves as a band. While they were in Kiev, Russia annexed Kiev and they have not been able to return home to see family since. They perpetually tour because they really have no home at this point. It is actually quite sad, but has also made them even more driven. I believe a good portion of the sentiment in the song has to do with this situation. Also, growing up in an industrial, coal mining town was a hard life. I love your Jinjer reviews. Keep them coming. As a bass player, Eugene is an absolute beast!
Nonono. Crimea is the peninsula south of Ukraine, which unmarked Russian forces took over in 2014. Kiev is very far away from any of the occupied zones and where they eventually moved to, to escape the war, and were on tour almost all the time since then (until corona came along). The three of them are from Donetsk (not sure exactly where Vlad is from, he joined them long after they moved out), which lies now within the eastern occupied zone by "separatists" and "holiday soldiers", which they fled when the troops came closer, knowing they would probably not be able to continue with their Music if they were to stay. There is also the song No Hoard Of Value, which is about their home town, and Home Back, which is about the war and their home.
No, Jinjer are from Gorlovka, Donetsk region which is now occupied by ruSSia , conducting ITS dastardly hybrid war and cowardly raving that some "separatists" are in charge. Kyiv (correct current official spelling) was never annexed, it's Crimea which was annexed by ruSSia in 2014 and with which Jinjer has no connection.
@Roguenjosh you really should check on Breaking Benjamin official yt channel they just released So Cold with honed graphics of old clip. Just on your own. This thing is fire.
And actually Vlad's previous band Zlam had better bassist than Jinjer. Them was better band at all but them played songs in ukrainian language and the music wasnt so mainstream.
It’s mostly about them touring nonstop and missing their families. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs.
lol even when they're off tour they don't really see their families due to russian annexation in eastern ukraine which includes their hometown donetsk.
since when they are from Donieck ?, if you could understood ukrainian at the beginning of the song u would no talking bulshit ... I mean both of you James and Jen ..."

@Bloviator Magnus Hello , you are right I understood my mistake already, but it was too late.

Great meaning but that's sad that they can't see their own family despite touring a lot
any song from Jinjer is my fav ))) and always something new for me, from urs great reaction - " punk beat awesome " gj
Thanks Feffy!!
I know this video is a year old, but I think you nailed it by calling Jinjer possibly the best rhythm section in metal. Progressive, but doesn’t drone and has unpredictable structures or hangs. Knowing builds with surprises…
Love them
Eugene has to be one of the best base players to come around in a long time. He's so groovy!
Oh how I love, love, love this song! So underrated, doesn´t pop up as much as it should in recomendations and reaction videos!

I have yet to find a bad song by them. Even when they first started out you could just tell that they were on to something and had HEAPS of talent.
I think it's crazy... They have experienced war and some of their mvs are about war and their childhoods n stuff.
Just another by jinjer early stuff
Yes yes yes!!
Absolutely! YES!
YASSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Para mí...es la mejor banda que escuché...estoy completamente enamorado de jinjer ...y de Tatiana más!
Can't wait for them to head down under again. Hopefully with a trip to NZ
when things return to normal 🤞 they mentioned New Zealand as a must do, when they realized how many Kiwis flew over for their Australian tour
Hell yea, the come to NZ, I'll be there. Also read a comment how they were surprised by how many from NZ flew over to Aussie to see them.

Checkout home back. One of my favorite jinjer songs. Also watch Eugene’s bass videos micros a good one.
This became my favorite song of theirs after watching Eugene’s play through. So fucking good man. 🤘
Waiting for "Sit Stay Rollover", dude! You'll love it!
Just don't let Roman know you have smokes. Gone so fast you have to go get more. Gone again. they are all just so humble. So kind
Such a incredible band, musicians and people.

Ok, now that I’ve watched your reaction, please watch his play through man. Really, I’m not even a musician but I can see how damn killer it is.
Very System of a Downish with the switch from cleans to heavy. Love it
They were refugees moving around a lot when there were a young band. They used MUSIC to keep their head together and make it through the hard times.
Great reaction - I regret not doing a meet n greet with them when i saw them in march
good review!
I so want Jinjer merch too...it's all sold out!!! I want to purchase from them to support, but may have to get something done custom in the mean time.
The Dillinger Escape Plan - 43% Burnt or Panasonic Youth. Now we're talking about rhythm section.
Yay!! Such a good song! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 On the Top live in Kiev is a must watch. I hope you react to as many videos as possible (even though you wanna start listening to them properly). 😉

Re the question in the vid preview, I would say that Monuments are the best rhythm section in metal, but Jinjer are for sure waaay up there
It'k ok to be wrong sometimes =P
Vlad is a open handed drummer not something you see a lot of in metal. Good vid.
Please, react more Nightwish songs!!!! Within Temptation is another great goth/symphonic metal band
My favorite off Macro, awesome reaction!!!
Try black water from Ginger no grout singing
*bad water
Yes I always do that
And beggars dance

are the Jinjer has the best rhythm section in metal? Meshuggah goes out from the chat
