This band is an anomaly that will be missed by mainstream and metal alike. They are to good to compete so the industry will pretend to never notice them. Buy their albums!!
I mean, considering they've been nominated and have won a few awards, what you say probably isn't true... "The industry" also can't control the flow and release of information on the internet either, so, if they continue growing and being as good as they have been for the past couple of decades, then they will simply continue to grow, and probably win more awards from "the industry."
what impresses me about Johannes is that when he knows he can't hit a certain note in that particular moment he knows exactly what to do as an alternative
@@wheelsx1823 try to play a guitar song as hard as this one and you will understand x) i think all guitarists have funny face mimics when concentrate haha
Depends on the perspective you put it in and what expectations you have based upon your perceived measuring stick. If I go by talent, unique music, variety in their music, skill of composition, classic songs, and how little views a band has in comparison to how long they have delivered masterpieces then Pain of Salvation is THE most underrated band of all time. They are imo the greatest band of all time. I love Avatar as well, but if I try to put it into perspective like this: Compared to Slipknot they are severely underrated as I see Slipknot as pure garbage! But compared to Pain of Salvation they are overrated. To mention a few other bands that are all in my top 5 fave bands together with Pain of Salvation that are also severely underrated are bands like Voyager, Symphony X and Samael.
Same! I had never listened to avatar before and they were probably the best live show I’ve ever been to. I’m so grateful they’re coming back to Portland this year.
Same here. I saw Hellyeah and Avatar opened for them. At the time I had no clue who they were. Knew none of their songs. In the first minute they had a new fan. It was fucking epic and I didn't even know the songs I was hearing.
Saw them at aftershock and have been a royal follower ever since. They are keeping early 2000 metalcore alive. By far one of the best bands out right now.
When I went to Slayer’s final tour in Toronto my dad and I were blown away by Behemoth. I hundred precent agree with this statement, go early and pay attention to everyone that’s playing their because you’ll be surprised :D
Man as someone who grew up with metal in the 80,s , this makes me smile !! Way to carry the torch Avatar !! These guys are awesome and I will be seeing them ASAP !! Fuck yeah !!
My God! I fell in love with this band because of the lyrics and Johannes voice. But, this video made me appreciate the guitar on the songs I love so much. The soul he puts into every riff... hypnotizing. Sheesh.
Michael Grindy You May be on to something. Perhaps, the king brings the apocalypse. So in hailing the king, we are hailing the apocalypse as well! 🤘Metal.
That's Tim. Yes, in a band of Johans and Johanneses, there is a Tim. Tim Öhström. And yes, it is a GLORIOUS moustache. He's also extremely talented. Watching and Kungen play is incredible! :)
Like, I know all the guys are pretty damn tall (when they’re all standing next to each other it’s not so obvious), but holy mother of Sweden what ancient crustacean race did Jonas descend from to have that amount of reach on the fretboard?!?! Seriously, mans hands look like king crabs.... oh, that kinda works actually.
Ok. What the fuck?!? How am I just discovering this band right now in this moment. (No pun intended). So incredibly highly skilled and highly creative. I must know more!
@@DTenacity Lol yeah its pretty tiring, but luckily I've been playing guitar for about 6 years, and even though Im not that good, I can play for a couple hours straight without my hand cramping up. Are you a guitarist by any chance?
Avatar have the most badass headbanging of any metal band.
Everybody except Epica
@@vonvomit5666 epica is no metal

Support their kickstarter works just as well

Everyone says this about their favorite band. They're good, but they're still just a metal band.
Just saw them in Vegas last night. They are the best touring band out there right now. You get your money's worth and then some. Too talented.
Going up there to see them with BabyMetal in September. I can't believe it.
what impresses me about Johannes is that when he knows he can't hit a certain note in that particular moment he knows exactly what to do as an alternative
He so smart and creative
God, the guitar is just out of this world in legend of the king
Don’t tell me Kungen’s mouth movements when he’s playing aren’t the most adorable thing you’ve seen
Looks like he was eating the whole time 😂😂

@@Necr0h wasn't hating.... Go play your guitar 🎸
@@wheelsx1823 i didnt « hate » 🧐
I guess the fast pace sort of as him clenching everything but it's a funny detail
I love how this band feels like one unit and not just about one particular member. 🖤
Been front row 10 times and it never gets old. I would go to an Avatar show every fn friday night if I could lol.
One of the most underrated bands ever!

Went to Trivium's best album-tour in years and got hooked on Avatar. This is why you don't only show up for the headliners, folks!

I went to the Trivium show and left with an Avatar shirt, not sure what happened.

that riff in Let It Burn is so damn catchy.
Yes! Its great I just posted this to metal amino and said that let it burn was the perfect song to end this mini-set.
Man as someone who grew up with metal in the 80,s , this makes me smile !! Way to carry the torch Avatar !! These guys are awesome and I will be seeing them ASAP !! Fuck yeah !!
Never been disappointed!! This band is so underrated
Hands down the greatest Avatar UA-cam video of all time....you know, until they top it
Kungan's left hand gives me hope for the future of mankind
The Kings hand is teaching me its ways.
:D

He has muscles on that pinkie finger

I cant wait for covid to finally end so we can hear Hunter Gatherer live.
ALL HAIL THE KING

Hail the KUNGEN!
I don't know his name, but the other guitarist's mustache is absolutely glorious.
That's Tim. Yes, in a band of Johans and Johanneses, there is a Tim. Tim Öhström. And yes, it is a GLORIOUS moustache. He's also extremely talented. Watching and Kungen play is incredible! :)
The crowd nailed "let it burn." Good on them

Hello, fellow metal heads. Remember that hole Dethklok left in our hearts? Avatar fills it. And then some.

This video is my only hope for learning this song on guitar
Th3GroggySl0th That’s awesome! I hope you do.
@@DTenacity I am lol, But this song is way out of my league, so it will take time :)
Th3GroggySl0th It makes my fingers tired just watching him.
@@DTenacity Lol yeah its pretty tiring, but luckily I've been playing guitar for about 6 years, and even though Im not that good, I can play for a couple hours straight without my hand cramping up. Are you a guitarist by any chance?
Th3GroggySl0th I started playing guitar in 1982. Ozzy Osbourne with Randy Rhoads was my first concert. I haven’t picked up a guitar in many years ☹️
Cool as shit!
