Fun fact, that pac-man retro sound effect in the original is the sound of the lead guitarist breaking his whammy bar and a string at the same time, and he completed the remainder of the song with 3 strings and a broken whammy bar. They edited the sound to be a retro pac-man sound to fit with the song and distract people from it, so the guitarists in dragonforce are just as legendary imo. They just make more legends with every cover made of their song.
Okay...that guitar was RIGHTEOUS! In the original...they gave each other water breaks. I was waiting for Jonathan to do that in the middle of the solo. That guy kept shredding..../bow.
@@jonathanymusic yes! I remember the first time I completed it, I couldn’t figure out how to finger that intro, so I put a capo over the green button lol
I mean, it wasn't written for two people in the sense that it had to be played by two people. It was just played by two people by choice. Sam and Herman just take turns in pretty much all their songs, but each of them could play any of them solo if they wanted to. Not to diminish Richaad's skill in any way, it's still incredibly difficult to play.
@@anothergenericyoutubename thanks for explaining i was confused seeing all the people saying it as if it had to be played by 2 people. Richaad great guitarist though
Me in 2007 in 10th grade: This dragonforce thing is a fad that people will forget about in a year tops. Me in 2020 pushing 30: Thank god people still remember this song, there's hope after all. I love nostalgia.
One of my favorite things to see when people cover this song is seeing the singer just kinda standing around while the guitarist fucking shreds for several minutes.
My 6 year old walked in the room while this was playing. "I didn't know Jesus sang that song you liked!" Jonathans been going hard on the head and shoulders through quarantine.
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.

My favorite part of this is John sang it as him covering DragonForce. He's not trying to sound like them he's adding his style to a power metal classic. Other versions are people trying to sound like DragonForce and it usually just sounds like a shittier version of the original.
I always felt like the whole point of a cover is to add your own flavor to it and add something new and different. People who just cover a cover note for note I don’t usually find as compelling
That's their mistake. You can't sound like DragonForce. John made the right choice in this video. But, I still don't think he has the hair for the song though. Even if he did it really well.
Spot on. ZP had a very distinctive voice and there's just no way for any other person to replicate it. Even Marc Hudson's performances of the song don't feel quite the same.
This is the first time I've been able to understand the lyrics without reading them. How the hell does he keep such clear enuciation while using vocal fry and his other techniques? *wonderment*
@@samantha53669 the short explanation here is he making his mouth movements extremely dramatic and precise as well as making sure to keep his mouth as wide as possible
Practice. Like tons of practice. Pronunciation. The thing that has helped me is slowly pronunciating the words I’m trying to sing or scream. I did it slow and precise before trying to sing or scream them faster. Over time you get better. You just have to open your mouth more.
I haven't seen someone master that solo in so many years... This man is breaking records. I am satisfied for seeing this! Great voice tone for this song too honestly. How it should have been.
[Verse 1] On a cold winter morning In the time before the light In flames of Death's eternal reign We ride towards the fight When the darkness has fallen down And the times are tough, alright The sound of evil laughter falls Around the world tonight Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel Through the wastelands evermore The scattered souls will feel the hell Bodies wasted on the shores On the blackest plains in hell's domain We watch them as they go In fire and pain, now once again We know [Pre-Chorus] So now, we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight Deep inside our hearts and all our souls [Chorus] So far away, we wait for the day-ay For the lives, all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] As the red day is dawning And the lightning cracks the sky They'll raise their hands to the heavens above With resentment in their eyes Running back through the mid-morning light There's a burning in my heart We're banished from a time in a fallen land To a life beyond the stars In your darkest dreams, see to believe Our destiny this time And endlessly we'll all be free Tonight [Pre-Chorus] And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality All alone in desperation, now the time has gone Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind Day after day, this misery must go on [Chorus] So far away, we wait for the day-ay For the lives, all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on [Instrumental Break] [Post-Chorus] Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh oh oh... Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh oh oh... [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Now, here we stand with their blood on our hands We fought so hard now, can we understand? I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can For freedom of every man [Chorus] So far away, we wait for the day-ay For the lives, all so wasted and gone We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days Through the fire and the flames, we carry on

I’ve heard your cover of this song so many times by now, but damn does it sound like the first time EVERY TIME. No matter how many times i listen, my adrenaline goes skyward. It’s been said many times, but each time it’s true - You and your crew are f**king good at this. Thank you for another wonderful cover. We’ve been blessed so many times over with any rendition you do, but it’s still always so good. Thank you.
Waiter: What can I get you to drink this evening, sir? Me: Dragonforce, with a twist of Iced Earth resonant vibrato and baritone. Waiter: Ah, the 'Jonathan Young: RichaadEB edition', then. Excellent choice, sir.
It feels like a lifetime ago that I first discovered you from your One Punch Man theme cover. You have aged and it shows, but your videos show all the same energy as the first time I saw you. Thank you for this energy my mans

That vocal range is... like... I don't mean this as an insult, but my ears don't believe what they just heard. Holy SH*T that's amazing. Also thanks for showing so much of the guitar work, as an amateur it's really neat to see advanced techniques like that.
Ok... At first i was speachless abouth how Jonathan Young can variate his voice in a split second and make it fit awsome in the song an then... The guitar solo of RichaadEB... This cover is GOD DAMN FREAKIN EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! O.o
I really appreciate the uncut view at the bottom left. I swear, half the reason I watch videos like this is to see the single take shredding of Through the Fire and the Flames.
Oh God, oh no, oh my 😳
You and Jules VS Jonathan and Richaad? Hehe
Oh my oh me
Caleb should have been in the back rocking out
Well someones hard
You here
For the record, _that_ guitar solo is split between the two guitarists. _And Richaad did it by himself._
What a fucking legend. Holy shit.
I mean he didnt play 2 guitars at once. He played it twice and they edited it.
@@MindAndMyth Technically did it alone
Just wasn’t compiled alone.
they split it between the guitarists, he split it between himself for the madlad that he is

@@DragonWolfZenno their guitarist herman li one got so into the song he played it with his tongue
Richaad: Ripping through one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time.
Jonathan: chacha real smooth
Surprised that the guitar didn't spontaneously combust during that solo :o
That solo made me forget that there was a singer.
if it combusted during the solo, it would prove to be less durable than any guitar in Herman Li's collection
They got the industrial grade
@@kinologan5074 bahahaha
it might as well have exploded with all that awesomeness! 🤘😝🤘🎸🎸
Jon made the _choice_ to post this on January 1st, 2021. He chose wisely. We made it, we survived.
Its the 2nd here already lol
Speak for yourself. I'm a fucking ghost.
You could say that... Through the fire and the flames we carried on.
I'll see myself out, now.
Didn't freaking noticed, he's a genius, he's getting out of control, it's too dangerous to be alive
We survived, now time to fight back and start the war for recovery.
The best part is the fact that Herman Li of DragonForce reacted to this and quite enjoyed himself!
Okay...that guitar was RIGHTEOUS! In the original...they gave each other water breaks. I was waiting for Jonathan to do that in the middle of the solo. That guy kept shredding..../bow.
The water would keep evaporating and they were like ‘Fuk it, well do it live!”
Rich can play circles around me, make sure to subscribe to him!!!
Rich is unlike us mortals and needs no water 🤘🏻
I mean this was not one take.. it's cut together, doesn't make him any less of a player, but this isn't one guy playing 90 second shred solo straight.
I was actually waiting for Jonathan to drink from a water bottle at 5:30 like in the original.
gh3 expert is still harder though
is it actually tho
Oh... Lord... I wanna see y'all with 8bitdrummer do this on rock band lol
I think that's because you madlads are too talented. You can't turn off your actual skills enough to play the fake guitar.
@@jonathanymusic no
@@jonathanymusic yes! I remember the first time I completed it, I couldn’t figure out how to finger that intro, so I put a capo over the green button lol
Imagine being so good on guitar you can play a solo written for two guitarists... solo. Damn Richaad, you a beast.
Class act as always, Jonathan!

Me in 2020 pushing 30: Thank god people still remember this song, there's hope after all. I love nostalgia.
Duuude, because of this song I am into metal now. So many years passed and I still love it.

Still love it, to be fair.

@@Sulvis_ ahhh, thanks, I’ll check them out
He waited his hair to be long enough just to cover this song.

His power is finally over 9000 and can handle such a song. Honestly love Jonathan's covers. I have many of them on my goto Spotify playlist.
That's the secret to summon demonic power metal powers.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE. *TURN IT UP*
Now that's a good way to start this year. Let's go!
[Verse 1]
On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
In flames of Death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough, alright
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain
We watch them as they go
In fire and pain, now once again
We know
[Pre-Chorus]
So now, we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
[Chorus]
So far away, we wait for the day-ay
For the lives, all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars
In your darkest dreams, see to believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free
Tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day, this misery must go on
[Chorus]
So far away, we wait for the day-ay
For the lives, all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
[Instrumental Break]
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh oh oh...
Whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oh oh oh...
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Now, here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now, can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man
[Chorus]
So far away, we wait for the day-ay
For the lives, all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
Those are the lyrics
Thank you.
Good catch!

Love it and still am wishing for a “When you’re evil” from Voltaire cover
Fuck, Now I need to hear Jonathan here sing Shiroyama by Sabaton.
Blood of Bannockburn, Night Witches & Attack of the Dead Men would also be good.
@@gingermcgingin1733 metal bagpipes
I didn't know I needed to hear that until just now.
Anything by sabaton honestky
@@silverwolf115 Pretty much, yeah.
Love the baritone vibes and the guitar sounds amazing in this tonality it has like a tragic vibe
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime Jonathan spins his drum sticks
thanks im dead now
There's not enough alcohol on the planet for that
that sounds like an actual death sentence
Harder drinking game: Take a single drop of alcohol every time time Jon absolutely slays a note
*EXTREME MODE* : Take a shot every time one of his drumsticks hits a drum.
(Call an ambulance ahead of time and have a suitable liver donor on speed dial.)
You know, I was thinking to myself that I hoped 2021 would start off good...
... I just never realized it would start off This Good.
I’ve heard your cover of this song so many times by now, but damn does it sound like the first time EVERY TIME. No matter how many times i listen, my adrenaline goes skyward. It’s been said many times, but each time it’s true - You and your crew are f**king good at this. Thank you for another wonderful cover. We’ve been blessed so many times over with any rendition you do, but it’s still always so good. Thank you.
Dragonforce reacted to this and loved it. Awesome stuff!
Waiter: What can I get you to drink this evening, sir?
Me: Dragonforce, with a twist of Iced Earth resonant vibrato and baritone.
Waiter: Ah, the 'Jonathan Young: RichaadEB edition', then. Excellent choice, sir.
God tier comment. Highly appreciated references.
2:24 YES! this is how the original should sound! love the heaviness! :D
Suddenly Metalcore
Wow the flame effects coming off of Richaad's guitar are really cool! Huh? You mean those aren't special effects!?!?!?! :O
Through the Fire and Flames in a different key.
I can dig it.
No meme, good cover!
It feels like a lifetime ago that I first discovered you from your One Punch Man theme cover. You have aged and it shows, but your videos show all the same energy as the first time I saw you. Thank you for this energy my mans
On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight
Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as they go
In fire and pain, now once again we know
So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment to their eyes
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars
In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight
And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man
So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
You're a god my man.
At this point who doesn't know the lyrics
@@meatb4lls404 Listened to Through the Tables and the Memes too many times. Keep forgetting the actual words.
@@PlayGroundDemon to true
Through the Fire and Flames has to be one of the most badass songs EVER written xD
That vocal range is... like... I don't mean this as an insult, but my ears don't believe what they just heard. Holy SH*T that's amazing. Also thanks for showing so much of the guitar work, as an amateur it's really neat to see advanced techniques like that.
I don’t think anything in there could’ve really been taken as an insult.
You should cover BFG Division while reading the Testaments of the Doomslayer over it.
Now that sounds amazing.
@@dlgodzilla6359 it does
would donate my kidney for that
2:27 THAT RIFF! SO GOOD!
2:38 Simply incredible
I had a dream that Jonathan Young served me double cheeseburgers and I want it more than anything
So when is Sabaton, John? You have held out our pleas for a while, but we will still wait.
THIS
Yes!
Things I didn't know I needed Johnathan to cover. Brilliant Idea!
Fields of verdun if he does that I can die happy in 80 years
Our pleas have been heard!! Shiroyama is out!
Ok... At first i was speachless abouth how Jonathan Young can variate his voice in a split second and make it fit awsome in the song an then... The guitar solo of RichaadEB... This cover is GOD DAMN FREAKIN EPIC!!!!!!!!!!! O.o
6:00 mark, the older version and this one both give me goose bumps every time. Very well done.
Awesome version! I like the vocal variations and the more aggressive tone of it.
He always looks so happy.
Vocal techniques used in this song:
1.- Growl
2.- Guttural
3.- a bit of scream
4.- SO FAR AWAAAAYYYYYY
Everyone: Talking about how he released this on 1/1/21 to start the year off right
Me living in NZ where it's already 2/1/21: Haha, yeah
Damn, it's already February for y'all?
Timezones don't mess around.
@@ProtocolDroidHK47 Yeah, it's actually the reason we don't appear on maps, they can't represent our timezone on a map, so they just leave us off
@@ProtocolDroidHK47 pretty sure the joke is how their dating system has the day first lol
@@ajwsings i think he knows
I really appreciate the uncut view at the bottom left. I swear, half the reason I watch videos like this is to see the single take shredding of Through the Fire and the Flames.
Bro you really just canonized 2021's theme song
