Avatar - Smells Like Acoustic (Smells Like a Freakshow & My Bloody Angel)

Avatar came back to #studioeast... acoustic versions of 'My Bloody Angel' (2:30) and 'Smells Like a Freakshow' (10:25).

[@Triforce1985]

What I respect the most about this is they just didn't play the songs note for note on acoustic instruments. They recomposed the songs to fit the sound of their instruments.

[@ozzyluver526]

Johannes has an amazing voice

[@LIPresume]

+Marilyn lover (MMluver666) He has amazing everything

[@ozzyluver526]

+LIPresume I agree with that

[@PrzypaloneZiemniaki]

I absolutely agree!

[@pitfrr]

I only know Avatar for pearhaps a month and I think he is fascinating with his make-up.

[@ralucaich]

The part where the cameraman zooms in on Tim's mustache. I lol'd xD

[@0chaton]

Haha yes

[@RedEbSeb13]

Tim’s a cutie, he couldn’t help it.

[@amberaquila3048]

Henrik's back up vocals are so mesmerizing!

[@kaylam2253]

Johannes's voice is so amazing and versatile. From hitting wicked high notes, to singing softly as he does here, he's just so amazing and talented. Truly one of a kind. And the rest of the band is hella talented too! Not to mention they're super sweet. Can't wait to see you boys again!

[@myunicornlovesmarilynmanso8800]

Damn. Sounds like a freakshow feels like two songs. Oroginal is so headbanging. Acoustic is like a relaxing western lullaby. So beautiful either way. Love their sound.

[@gmdlange]

Hannah Ji-Yong I got the same vibe as well

[@saraknight4740]

It is normal to fell in love with Johannes? Damn, his voice is so beautiful.

[@biancabianca296]

That bass in his voice gives me goosebumps!

[@rosyglezfit]

Totally normal! Same thing happened to me 😍😍😍

[@myunicornlovesmarilynmanso8800]

Johannes has such a soothing voice. Love it

[@Behemoth66]

Such an underrated and under appreciated band. Johanness’ vocals are always amazing and shows that he can actually sing. Plus he’s an excellent showman. Great band

[@anamelessghoulette4355]

Smells like a freakshow played acoustically sounds like the theme song to a western show/movie

[@eabaggins]

When Tim started singing the lyrics and then smiled and stopped, omg

[@ShastaMC]

Acoustic version of bloody angel sounds like a system of a down song

[@Behemoth66]

Very true but 1000 times better and alot more talented lol

[@evanarnold4087]

The bass player looks like Lestat from Interview with the vampire

[@jonhneitan9903]

jajjaja, yes, I was thinking the same

[@chronicdisease1722]

The drummer has it so hard

[@kylermoser5758]

true

[@anonymouslyrics4902]

His name is John

[@kekelaward]

He should pull a Morelli and play his kit with his hands.

[@tannerted3920]

yeah cajons can make ur back kill.

[@leebailey6181]

They NEEED TO MAKE A ACOUSTIC ALBUM

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

No, no they don't.

[@amygilat1479]

Yes please, so I can listen to Avatar at work

[@FunkyBowieKatze]

They can, actually. They are always experimenting stuff, they don't want to stick to the same formula as Johannes itself says everytime.

[@therealmalady7373]

Johannes is so tall and awkward and cute

[@jrocknpoppingirl]

Johannes's hair looks so nice here and I really wanna braid it and play with it

[@VXNCEKUTHERRIE]

They should release an album that's fully acoustic covers imo

[@loserdark.6654]

11:46 El gallo JAJAJAJAJA lo amamos

[@itsloree231]

Dude, Johannes is so handsome---

[@0chaton]

It's " Bloody Angel " not "My bloody Angel"

[@elias.7513]

Peace.Love.Respect yup exactly

[@jeremymolonlabe5577]

Peace.Love.Respect they're from Sweden not England lmao

[@renshammar]

JEREMY MOHR I think he meant that the one who uploaded this video wrote it the wrong way.

[@rjdrakon2492]

One little mistake (in the title) chill - it's a cool rendition

[@proxydent362]

Does anyone else see what I see? They are obviously doing music for Joker and thus my life.

[@virgilscipion]

Awesome version of Bloody Angel, I'm... can't say in public network :D

[@corneliatomson1506]

😂😂😂😂

[@sinatariummaximus7881]

Wow..... I normally don't sit thru these acoustic versions of metal music, but, I went thru this, and boy am I glad. As heavy and dark of a song as Bloody Angel is, that was incredible without the electronic, aide, I guess you can say. Incredible. Scandinavia and Germany, KINGS of METAL. Edit: prior to Smells like a freakshow, I didn't know this song was in this. Now, that I've officially watched the FULL vid, I gotta say, AvataR, I truly believe, hearing the acoustics, and one of the ever so few acoustic versions I sit thru, has unprecedented talent, skill, and crowd apeal. Crowd apeal, like, even the acoustic, just incredible.

[@mariamazhara5941]

Они все такие домашние, как будто проснулись пол часа назад)))

[@feragui_4262]

10:28 Johanes I love you

[@anavfk]

Beautiful voice, beautiful band. I love John and your hard job.

[@rabbithole1331]

I hope these guys get mega-big they are amazing .. it's about time another great band goes mainstream...

[@mermanhellville]

I mean.....now I do want Hail the Apocalypse acoustic

[@mermanhellville]

I would never have imagined Smells Like a Freakshow could make a good acoustic piece either but here we are

[@88Nyman]

Smells like a freakshow sounds pretty bluesy to me in acoustic

[@mjr2470]

Chills! I love this band, thank you for working around the clock for me. The blood is on your hands!

[@alessandroechamende1658]

Very good ! , I really like of the acoustic performance of band , this guys are amazing !!

[@mitchluckersrightshoe]

I was so let down when he said "but ive got tormentors for a lifetime" and it wasnt a long clean johannes scream, then i remembered it was a full acoustic version and they werent memeing

[@UnholyAeon]

Thank you for sharing this

[@ShinyCLEM]

Edit the title please Just "Bloody Angel" is enough... But anyway thank you for the video, always cool to see the guys playing

[@rjdrakon2492]

Okj - I love this song, but the acoustic version is even more haunting and cool than the plugged in version. Amazing band

[@colinvaldez854]

Poor John has to make do with whatever he's sitting on while everybody else got to bring a guitar...

[@richardelliott1985]

It's a drum box. They are made to be sat on and drummed on

[@olgahein4384]

Yepp, on another occasion they somehow managed to mess that up and only got him a chair. He then found somewhere a neon green plastic bucket in the form of a pumpkin. Worked out too. (it's the accoustic verion of 'The Eagle Has Landed' for Q102 Rock Room Sessions, in case of interest.)

First time I've seen the band Avatar without make-up. Rather surprised!

[@butterfly9560]

I am buying all your music. You have do much talent and sound so great. Your my favorite. If I had a last wish, it would be to meet all of you and go to a show. Bless you all.Please be careful out on the road. Butterfly

[@mitchluckersrightshoe]

Bloody Angel not My Bloody Angel

[@LocalDeepstateAgent]

I swear to god, johannes not being abel to pull out the power of his voice cause the radio cast is prob. for non-metal fans made me sad. The radio station is fairly fucked up for getting someone like Johannes on a show and telling him he cant use his actual singing voice cause seriously, whats the point of getting him on the show to sing then and no, he definetly didnt sing using his regular voice on his own decision. Its bloody johannes ffs, he loves to scream.
