Just realized, Avatar is the closest thing to a real life Dethklok. I know that "Dethklok" plays live and all, but Avatar are like there own versions of the characters........and i mean that as a compliment.
Absolutely criminal how underrated they are!! They should be headlining arenas at this point, this was the first exposure for me to Avatar!! I wish most bands put even an ounce of the effort these guys do in their live shows! Such showmanship and just incredible live!! Worth every penny.
Couldn't agree more with everything you said! This was also my first exposure to them...only ONE YEAR AGO and I've been hooked ever since! In my opinion, this is the most psycho Johannes is live and my fave set thus far 😍 I keep coming back to it because I love it so much lol. Within one minute, I knew I was gonna be a fan and now they're my fave band. I'm sure my passion will wear off but I'm enjoying the circus ride while it's here 🤡 How I've NEVER heard the name or seen any t-shirt or CD being sold is beyond me (and I've loved extreme metal for almost 25 years!) UNDERRATED indeed ugh. Was lucky enough to see them in September (and met Johannes!) and I cannot wait to see them again. Do yourself a huge fave and go see them when they're close to you! They do not disappoint 😀
Sevendust is another band that really just elevates their performance live, vs. in-studio. Songs that are good, but not great turn into absolute bangers in concert. I think with some bands, it's literally being able to feel the rhythm of the song pounding through you in a way that you can't when you're just using headphones. (Plus, at least in the case of Sevendust, they play everything about a half-step faster and a half note lower, so it adds a level of power.)
If I am in a sad, frustrated, hopeless mood I listen to Avatar and got euphoric angry, same time happy and a bit aggressive. Really weird and funny how it works 😂 thank you guys ❤
Damn, what a brutal vocal beginning! No warm-up, or easing into the song, just his deep, guttural, intense screaming lyrics. I'm banging my damn head at the computer! May 20th, can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta. Bring it on!
True, but Johannes has to warm up (offstage) before a show. It's quite elaborate. There's a vid he talked about it somewhere. Eight octave voice like Mercury and Halford. The whole band is so disciplined, and hard working. I like HTA and Black Waltz albums . Have Fun in May !
@@bondo_channel1706 Thanks, bud. Sorry 4 the late reply. Life. Yes, I recently say a video interview with him (no makeup) and he went into his routine, like you said. Yeah, if they do the song HTA in May, I'm gonna bang my old fucking head so damn hard, I'll retire early, from the damage!
They’re so much better in a small venue with a thousand people in the crowd. That saying, they’re not bad with a big crowd, but as a spectator, I think smaller venues are much better for them. The whole experience is just so much more intense with the lightning, sound, crowd interaction etc.
Yes, definitely! Unfortunately, truth be told... they just aren't that good live with their *music* - but they compensate for it a lot with their energy, character and stage presence. However, that works best with small/medium sized crowds - closer up, more personal.
Their live show can't be bettered by anyone, seriously. They put it out there every night. I don't know where they get their energy from, but we need to tap into that and bottle that up!
This is the vid that started it for me back in Feb and I was in love within the 1st minute. Now they're one of my fave bands! They're the whole package for me: killer stage presence, makeup, theatrics, killer guitar tones, Johannes looking like Eric Draven 🤤, they're all hot actually lol, killer guitar tones, killer talent, from Sweden, I could go on but won't lol And yeah I keep coming back to it too but haven't counted how many times. Telling all my metal friends about them too Long live the almighty and fierce as hell Avatar! 💪
I was fortunate to see them live a few weeks ago. What an amazing show and an amazing experience it was! They said it was their 1000th live performance. This band has the entire package and that they aren't one of the biggest bands in the world is beyond me. I've seen thousands of bands at this stage in my life. In saying that, they are 2nd to none...
I keep coming back to this all the time! These guys... omg. They're SO good. Love everything about this band. Johannes is such an amazing singer and very charismatic. Wish they come to my country one day!
@@metalqueen17 I don't know how I missed this comment but yes! Seeing them for the very first time in April 🥺 soo excited! I hope you'll see them soon too ❤
I can’t not put a like here! Seen them at least four times now and they always put on a perfect show! These guys deserve all the good fortune that comes their way and so much more!
Man these guys are about the best out today. They’re better than any of the bands they open for. I’m a metal head from the early 80’s so I’ve seen a fair share of bands and these guys are right among the best.
They are live actually better then the studio recordings. I've seen them on FortaRock Nijmegen (Netherlands), it was a blast! One of a kind, go Avatar and Hail the King!
Can we just stop and appreciate the fact that between all the singing wizardry Johannes does, he can still pull off that somehow beautiful "give it to me" at 27:38 , that is as the same time raw and perfectly in tune ?
Avatar is one of my favorite metal bands. They really blend some of my favorite things in heavy music. Groovy drums but still very hard hitting and fast, guitar/bass riffs are tasty as fuck, while being lead heavy and has amazing tone and tuning. Plus they have very good harmonics and solos. The vocals have that perfect blend of actually audible words and reeeeally harsh nice growls, and very nice clean vocals as well in parts. And then we have everything else as lyrics with great story telling, they have good humor and a wicked style/aesthetics with their whole circus/carnival style, great music videos. And then I can't stress this enough, their mix/production on records is fucking incredable! The drums sound big, punchy and natural. Like they cherry on top, they have an amazing show and perform so fucking well live! Johannes stage presence is electrifying!
Torn Apart.... the man takes it to a level unreached by anyone I ever heard. Layne Staley would be the only other vocalist to get close.. Eckerstorm is just a bad ass!
Had the same reaction as you for this exact same video. Also my first video thanks to Johannes looking like Eric Draven 🤤. One minute in, I was thinking yup, I'm gonna love these guys and now they're one of my favorite bands! They should be opening for NO ONE AGAIN, EVER They deserve headlining spots cuz it's clear they work their asses off and their energy is out of this world! 💪
Thank u so much for putting this most excellent video back up without a million bullshit ads!!! Avatar puts on one hell of a show! I’ve seen them 3x in Chicago, always amazing and so much fun! I cannot wait to go to concerts again!!!

That is enough energy to power a small city.
Everybody knows it, but it can't be said often enough: This band is soo underrated!
I wanna like, but you hqve 69 likes and i don't wanna break that
@@finallycanchangethenamenot359 I will allow it :D
@Pulse Gaming I said "underrated"
@Pulse Gaming sure bro xD
no worries
Fuck yes I think most of us got into this amazing band BEFORE they got popular in the US lol

how they headbang and play their instruments at the same time is impressive as fuck
Ikr how the hell do they windmill their heads like that and still play perfectly??
I think it is more like it is difficult NOT to headbang when you play stuff like that :D
True metal!!
@@ariell6489 it’s called metal, it’s necessary
@@MantraHerbInchSin you need to play guitar or drums to actually understand what he means by that…
Johannes Eckerström is such a versatile singer. I'm getting more and more impressed with him, each time I listen to Avatar. Amazing...!!!
His clean and unclean vocals are amazing
Literally right there with you
He has such a range. From growling, clean vocals, high pitch screams 8:35, to metal core screaming
it looks so brutally badass, when they all headbang together... :-O
My 7yo son just heard "let it burn" and said " I think this is my new favorite song"
Lord, do I love this boy of mine
You’re raising your son correctly :)
I hope my future kids listen to good music as well.
I'm officially in love with Avatar and the girl in the front row with the blue hair!
Yea xD, pure beast
I was about to comment the same thing about that girl
"All flesh is equal when burned" ~ Man that's the best line EVER
My favorite new band and I'm 60!
How can they not be the best Band in the world is criminal...
They are one of the few bands that actually sound better live, than in the studio (and they sound great there too). I would love to see them live!
That is so true
There can't be that few of them because I see this exact comment on every live band I watch

The Hail the Apocalypse album was actually recorded entirely live in the studio, a challenge the band gave themselves
They put on one hell of a show! 🤘🏻
If I am in a sad, frustrated, hopeless mood I listen to Avatar and got euphoric angry, same time happy and a bit aggressive. Really weird and funny how it works 😂 thank you guys ❤
I have to say..one of the best concert ive ever seen
I mean this has got to be one of the best live performances of any band on UA-cam, right?
Right
Did u see the Poland one
@@stayhomewearamask3318 yes but i think that this one is better
Fuckin A right! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of them. They're one of the greats that'll change the world for the better 🤘❤️
The sound tech for the bassist wasnt scared that night. He had him dialed in perfect. Can easily hear those beefy licks.

Honestly the reason i keep coming back to the vid 😂
They deserve a much bigger Stage 🔥🔥🔥
damn these guys can make some energy
Wacken realized their mistake placing Avatar on little stage...next time they was where they belong..on main stage.
💀 💯

Saw them live last night. They put on a spectacular show!
These guys are absolutely flawless live. Sick performance!
One of my favorite live bands. So much fun.
New band first time hearing their music, first two songs are fucking fire. FUCK YES.
Insane show. Ultimate showmanship. I will definitely watch them live. Bloody angel is a masterpiece.

Horns in the air like you don't care! 🤘
14:37 watch as Johannes casually catches a floating microphone
OMG I didn't even notice until I saw your comment! LMAO

Unbelievable! ❤🤘
Son tan geniales que hasta suenan mejor en vivo

i wanna see these guys live soooo bad....world class entertainers and the music is just amazing
Avatar we don't care how big our stage is its how we use it!
The thing that i not only know the lyrics but Ive fully learned what Johannes says between songs.
2021 and still watching
thank you sir. IT WAS MY FAIVORITE LIVE SHOW. and they took it down :(
So I'll be honest to you guys. I NEVER had goosebumps from a song in my entire life. But this... 2:00.. THIS. IS. INSANE.
THat;s when you know the music is hitting you right
The drummer…. He’s a beast! I’m a singer/guitar player. The whole band is on point, but the drummer. Much love!
Hail the apocalypse!
