I love how Elizabeth has become a top tier musical critic for the metal scene. Love this, love her, love everything she has done.

[@cristiaolson7327]

There are so, so many really talented vocalists in Metal, and I think since Elizabeth comes from an opera background, she appreciates the epic, emotive, and theatrical style of metal music.

[@Lolkekexoxo]

No, she has not become a critic. She is a youtuber with reaction content made to reaffirm whatever the fans ask. This is a problem with reaction videos. Most of their viewers believe that the person reacting to it is acting as a critic, but truth is it is much more just a hype person. That being said, she is really good at hyping music, so when you already like something, and watch her videos, you'll feel great to have someone showing these feelings. The music here tho, has too much elements, and became noisy and weird. Not good.

[@Sarcasticron]

It's fun to watch someone enjoy something, especially something you also like. Elizabeth is very expressive and full of positive energy, so she's more fun to watch than most.

[@Sarcasticron]

I'm a huge Manowar fan and I can totally hear Manowar in this cover. I never heard of this group Elizabeth is reacting to, but they just gained a new fan.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Likewise. :)

[@Zabiru-]

I was never a huge Manowar fan myself, not sure why, partially because I didn't get into them at the right age I think (their particular brand of epic metal is a bit too cheesy for me these days I think), but this is fucking awesome :D (I've heard the original obviously for the record)

[@randybrinkman495]

Check out the Sacred Gate version... that's a great version

[@_adonisk]

Try their version of "I see fire"

I can only recommend the "My mother told me"-Cover by Saltatio Mortis. The guy with the longer beard is their lead singer :) (And you probably want to wear the same outfit for their song :D)

[@arnepietruszewski9255]

Hey Elizabeth now you really NEED to react to the original composers of this song. MANOWAR. Eric Adams is one of the best metal vocalists with the most amazing fry scream you can get oh and he has a range of at least 5 full octaves.

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

Yeah she needs to listen to Eric.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

@@squatcurldeadlift7346 I promise! I will get to Eric Adams. This came to us by Napalm, so we jumped at the chance.

[@maddog0342]

@@TheCharismaticVoice Just discovered you and your channel tonight and have been watching your videos for the past 2 hours ! 😆 Your so fun to watch and it's awesome the details you go into Elizabeth. I would recommend the singer Midnight (real name John Patrick Jr. McDonald) from Crimson Glory... a fantastic talent who is no longer with us unfortunately. Songs off the "Transcendence" album. "Lonely", "Painted Skies" or one of my favorites, "In Dark Places". If your loving Geoff Tate, you will be loving Midnight ! Thanks for what your doing on your channel Elizabeth ! ! !

[@Kreontas]

I have no doubt she would enjoy the original, but it is more of a sing along with the crowd doesn't showcase Eric's amazing voice and range. Something like Blood of my Enemies, Master of the Wind or Guyana would be best!

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

@@TheCharismaticVoice can't wait!

[@Brunnen_Gee]

20:04 Benjamin Metzner, a.k.a. Prinz R. Hodenherz III. He's _definitely_ worth looking into, the man has an incredible voice. You could dedicate multiple videos just to him. He doesn't just sing in Feuershwanz, but he also has another group called dArtagnan, which is sort of a Three Musketeers themed band. Another absolutely wonderful band.

[@edwardmeade]

You need to check out the Ben Metzner and Patty Gurdy duet in "Farewell." You get both bagpipes and hurdy-gurdy. The rest of D'Artagnan is off screen but you can hear them.

So cool to see Elizabeth not only nerding out to the vocals but giggling to pure D&Dness of it. I don't think I've ever seen so many artists in the chat to a reaction video. Thank you all, the fans notice and love you for it!

[@TimothyHagerTCH]

Yo I can't wait until somebody gets her out here as a featured warrior queen or something

[@MorogthXavier]

I'm still getting to know the singers here, but I love how, at the end, the second-to-last singer rises to a high note, Elizabeth pauses to comment on the highness of it, and upon resuming the video, Thomas basically goes "Hold my mead".

[@Happymali10]

10:30 That dude is a Notary as his main job. That dude. In that getup.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Thomas has achieved peak 'cat caught in a trash compactor' vocal greatness.

[@Rhymers]

You have the most sympathetic facial expressiones i've ever seen! You seem so genuinely happy, it's really contagious!

[@slyzombie6166]

This is pretty true to the original, with extra instrumentation and vocalists of course. I'm glad to see ManOwaR finally getting some love. They were looked at as almost a joke for a really long time, and we are starting to see some really amazing covers by some great bands (Van Canto, Sabaton, Arch Enemy, etc). I would consider them the fathers of Power Metal.

[@johngalt9989]

Feuerschwanz is one of my favorite bands and they've got some fantastic guests here. I am beyond thrilled to finally see you reacting to them!

[@Hamusutaru]

OMG...this is so weird. I've been binge watching your reactions and then this came up and for a second I thought I didn't see right xD Feuerschwanz is a band from Erlangen where most of my family lives, my mum was engaged to the Hauptmann's brother and lived in his parents' home, one of the Mietzen went to college with me and makes films with some of my former classmates :D I love that you made a video about them

[@QuirkyUncleDave]

As a fan of Feuerschwanz and all three of the guest singers, I'm really looking forward to both the original video premier as well as Elizabeth discovering three new singers (Alea and both singers from Feuerschwanz) while also continuing her exploration of Thomas and Melissa.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

Thank you, Quirky Uncle Dave! I really enjoyed this and I will most probably do the original too! ❤

[@Rakshiir]

Feuerschwanz is actually one of my favorite bands. The new album looks really good - it is worth to check them out, although one has to remember that it is a german band that mostly sings in german. But for most of their songs, even the one with a bit more mature texts (since they do have alot of songs where the text is also just funny and not meant to be taken too seriously), they are super fun to listen to.

[@MrGrevanar]

Most of their earlier stuff is basically lyrics made up of sex puns and boozing 🤣

[@NotMeButAnother]

Well, they started out as basically a parody band of the medieval rock genre, not unlike how Nanowar of Steel lovingly parodies power metal. They're somewhat graduated from that, though.

[@TremereTT]

It's all highschool humor lyrics. I love it!

[@raymondmathisen225]

I can't believe you have not done Manowar yet :O Eric Adams is right up there with Dio IMO especially regarding power.

[@ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣΜΩΡΟΣ]

You are to the point! This is one of the latest "Manowar" songs!!! Their title without "United"...

[@Leviathandk]

@@ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣΜΩΡΟΣ The album is "warriors of the world" the song is "Warriors of the world united".

It should be said, better to react to the studio versions than the live ones, he holds back in those.

[@pkj77]

Eric Adams is way better than Dio IMO

[@Nimenoz]

We need a reaction to Kingdom Come for sure.

[@mdegast]

This is the 2nd coversong they've recorded with Melissa Bonny, the first was a cover of "Ding" by Seeed. I can suggest some songs of their own repertoire, like Metnotstand in Märchenland, "Blöde Frage, Saufgelage", Methämmer, Kampfzwerg. Or Der Henker and Wir lieben Dudelsack, some of their earlier songs.

[@epiendless1128]

You're not the only one who wondered how Melissa feels dancing on top of a wall!

[@jarrahkin]

Interesting that this was put out by Napalm, who also have Gloryhammer on their books...whatever problem Gloryhammer had with Thomas, clearly the label doesn't have any. Great reaction (as always), this was a lot of fun.

[@DaronMGL]

I like how Thomas sung the "Hammer of the gods" line. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but I found it funny either way

[@TremereTT]

@@DaronMGL I think there is a lot of Feuerschwanz comedic handwriting in the setup ...Thoms sings bout the Hammer of the Gods...Melissa sings about becoming a man first... It's so great!

[@furthausen]

My friend a HUGE Manowar fan. He heard this cover and loved. Manowar not easy to cover. Gotta make ur own sound or go epic was his words. This was Epic to him

[@christophstahl8169]

Loved that reaction. Just a quick note: This is a genre, medieval rock. You get many of the medieval instruments paired with heavy guitars, bass and drums and great storytelling. German bands include Feuerschwanz and Saltatio Mortis (Alea's band), Subway to Sally, In Extremo, Schandmaul, Tanzwut and many more. It's not a larp niche here, it is engrained in our german and european history and those bands are quite popular. For example 4 Saltatio Mortis albums reached no.1 in the german charts. Also the music videos are usually a visual treat. You have reacted to a version of My Mother Told Me before, but Saltatio Mortis sing it in the original old norse and filmed the music video in a viking village. I can also recommend a live performance of Subway to Sally from 2020: Veitstanz (2014 Version) (Live) that features members of Saltatio Mortis, Schandmaul, Feuerschwanz and also Patty Gurdy and Major Voice. Also quite a few bagpipes, hurdy-gurdys, violins and more in there. This is a rabbit hole, you ain't seen nothing yet!

[@NotMeButAnother]

Indeed, medieval rock (and metal) is a subgenre of folkrock particularly popular in Germany. Subway to Sally is generally said to have started the trend, although their style is somewhat different from the later bands like Schandmaul, Saltatio Mortis (who Alea is the singer of), Feuerschwanz (who started out as a parody band in the genre) or In Extremo. There's some lovely music to find here.

[@jphuelter]

I didn't read all those comments, so I may repeat someone. Jenny... the redhead fighter is 1/4 of Dark side of the moon (Harp). Saltatio Mortis did an awesome cover of Hypa Hypa, which you should check out. Melissa did a cover of Ding with Feuerschwanz. Saltatio Mortis - My mother told me, if you are into great sets and costumes. You have a wonderful world of medieval Rock/Metal to explore, just ask Tank. Have a great journey

[@drkaplin98]

Love the channel! Please!! Kind of a change of pace- the hard rock band Triumph has one of the most under-rated vocalists and guitarists of the late 70's, 80's, and 90's- Rik Emmett. Fight the good fight from the US festival is a great representation of his amazing talent. I think you'll really like it- very positive messages in their music. I was fortunate enough to open for Rik and his band. He saw my white Marshalls and my singer told him what an inspiration Rik's playing was for me growing up. Coming off stage after the set, Rik grabbed me and told me to leave my rig up on stage, he asked me if I knew Magic Power (the encore). Being stunned I responded with, "What version? The album, or the live '82 Baltimore one?" He said, "I don't even remember that. You'll be fine." It was amazing, we did a 10-minute round robin guitar solo Between Rik, Doug, and me. This also happened to be the first date that me and my girl had. 17 years later she's still here, so I might owe Rik for more than just a great musical experience....:) Just to be clear, the rest of the concert is worth watching! He went on to a great solo career releasing classical, jazz, and rock albums. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2GommCqj7l3qJI

[@ballerbalgruuf]

You should check out something by Powerwolf (or multiple somethings!) I highly recommend "Alive or Undead" and/or "Where the Wild Wolves have Gone". Those are the songs where Atilla's voice _really_ shines. EDIT: Also! "Metal is for Everyone" by Freedom Call! The music video is pretty uplifting too.

[@alinasmusicvoid5679]

Oh my god, I just went down a rabbit hole, checking out everything on your channel^^ I just wanted to add, that of course everone will sing along to the chorus, let alone because its one of the legendary true metal songs and its by Manowar so of course people will sing along! This version is also very amazing and I'm proud to see people fron German groups get so big nowadays!

[@firstclaw1]

I love Manowar. Immediately recognized it within the first seconds. Manowar were my favourite band for many years and I saw them live two or three times. I still like them today a lot, while I also broadened my range of bands and music. Anyway, I often feel a bit uneasy listening to a cover of favourite bands and songs, since too often I feel the cover is a "nice try" but can't get it right. But Feuerschwanz here do an awesome job with high respect to the original while introducing a little dash of their own style and instrumentalization. Just right to stand alone with highest reference to the original. I enjoy their mix of vocalists and their singing captures the spirit of the original well. And when covering a song sung by Eric Adams that means a lot! Kudos to them. I'll check out some more of their work now.

[@Pfadi73]

What a party to watch that. I have to comment the "hugging" between the two female warriors. They posted fotos and small vids while production, and I really loved it. They sometimes rolled together like two wolf pups having fun, I belive you have to see more of them because I am really convinced that you will fell in giggeling love with them all.

[@darquemode1165]

I love how many of the artists comment on Elizabeth's reviews! Although I'm still waiting for her to be a featured vocalist on some of their tracks! *Hint*Hint*

[@MrMin0taur]

Not sure if she's looked at the powerwolf covers album they produced with their last album, both Feuerschwanz and Saltatio mortis did interesting tracks on that. Ben's other band D'Artagnan are also fun.

[@MrBig-lh5hz]

Alea is from Saltatio Mortis, you can also react to some of their songs ;) But they are singing almost only in german. But they recently did covers of the Wellerman and My mother told me (as almost everyone did...) But it is not their normal kind of music.

[@selendrasama44]

Feuerschwanz song Ding featuring Melissa Bonny was the first of their songs I came across. I do not speak the language, so I don't know what they are singing, but I know what they are singing. You might want to keep the mead horn and furs on if you do that song.

[@ElDesperado7]

Its originally a german pop/rap song from the early 2000. the lyrics are basically aboout a guy partying and getting drunk and wanting to cheat on his wive. Melissas part is in my eyes the best performance of her in any song she ever stared in.

[@selendrasama44]

@@ElDesperado7 I eventually looked up a translation of the lyrics, and I wasn't far off

That grin you popped on the chorus was the same I had splattered on my face when watching this. This cover slaps so hard! I've been on a rather hard slump this last week, and coming in to see this gorgeous music and how much people are loving it really made me happy. Cheers!

[@BeorimJ]

Maybe a bit off general background info: Mittelalter-Rock (Medieval Rock) and Mittelalter Marktmusik (Medieval market music) is a quite big genre here in Germany. You have many bands, often coming from a background of playing accoustic on Medieval Markets (practically like a RenFaire), and then some mixing in Rock elements, Metal elements or even electronic elemets. You have Bands like Feuerschwanz in there, but also In Extremeo, Subway to Sally, Saltatio Mortis, Corvus Corax/Tanzwut, Faun, Schandmaul, Die Streuner, Letzte Instanz. Just to give you a few of the most important bands that circle the genre (Sorry for bands not mentioned, you are all awesome). Since you already did Hypa Hypa, you might wanna look into the version that Escimo Callboy did with Saltatio Mortis, Mixing Hypa Hypa with their Medieval rock sound.

[@BeorimJ]

also, yes, the instrument is a Hurdy Gurdy. If you like this instrument you should look for Patty Gurdy (who has worked with Feuerschwanz before), she does awesome stuff (just have to mention a: Over the hills from Gary Moore - more prominently known as a cover by Nightwish - and her having done music for "Carnival Row"- the songs "I fly for you" and "Grieve no more" which are hauntingly beautiful)

[@PauloSiqueira]

If you liked this... You should listen to Ding, by Feuerschwanz. It also features Melissa Bonny, and the same kind of crazy cool costumes and settings :D

[@brianfuller757]

Your reaction here was amazing and this cover of a great song is amazing. There is stellar talent here and they're killing it and having fun.

[@fafikommander1903]

Don't lose your roots though. Love your early work with operas. Watching you grow is amazing! Metal and opera? Didn't the Germans start that centuries ago?

[@DaBlondDude]

Wow (definitely a great D&D session tune). I've never heard lf this group or those featured guests but this is awesome. Melissa's voice pops right through the music, that slide up to the scream blew me away and I'm flabbergasted at Tom's scream 😱. The make up and costumes are fantastic and the work thrown into this was impressive indeed.

[@victragon]

Jörg Roth aka "Alea der Bescheidene" is (founding) member of German medieval band Saltatio Mortis. Definitly worth checking although singing mainly in German. Lucky me I am from Austria and love that kind of music. In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, Subway to Sally (to some extent), Letzte Instanz, Schandmaul, Potentia Animi, Schelmish, Morgenstern, The Inchtabokatables, well Feuerschwanz... so many of them and all awesome... You could however check Saltatio Mortis "My Mother told me" (yes :))... I further can recommend folk rock bands like Fiddler's Green or D'Artagnan, Hasensch... :) (sic); or looking internationally Blackmore's Night might be of interest - Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore und his wife Candice Night; or Irish-American bands Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys or Irish "The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats"... yeah well not to forget The Pogues and - somehow travelling back in time - The Dubliners. I think I am just deviating... sorry 'bout that :) And as a side note: In Extremo had an "appearance" in 2001 video game "Gothic" performing "Herr Mannelig".

[@bararobberbaron859]

I respectfully but wholeheartedly disagree, this feels like a lackluster cover to me. 3+ singers together and it still doesn't come close to the power of the original. It reminds me of a cup of tea when you use a bag for the 2nd or 3rd time. It's just weaker.

I think you should react to „Nachts weinen die Soldaten“ (The Soldiers cry at Night) by Saltatio Mortis ( Aleahs Band) of „My Mother Told Me“ also by Saltatio Mortis

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

[@SYCHR0N]

First singer is Ben Metzner, the second one is Peter aka Hauptmann Feuerschwanz. Fourth singer is Alea. Bonny and Angus you already know :)

A little background on this song. Manowar released this album in 2002 with a specific emphasis on the 9/11 attacks. They wanted to encourage people after the fact and to resist in the face of evil. This song is a call to the free world to resist evil and terrorism. Just some context.

[@robertdeelen6685]

A little background to this style, its called Medival Rock/Metal and is, surprisingly, a mainly german music genre. It basically started with bands who made pseudo medival/folk music but had a side project making more hard rock/NDH music, most of them from Eastern Germany. Around the mid 90's many of these bands started fusing both these sounds. To this day these "founding" bands are all still active and still experiment with new and different additions to their sound. The biggest of the "founders" are Corvus Corax (also Tanzwut), Subway To Sally and InExtremo Since those days a lot of other bands were influenced by this style and the "second generation" has names as big as the first generation (most well known are Feuerschwanz and Saltatio Mortis, but there are MANY others) an there are always new artists adding their take and style to the genre. Another special thing is, that many of these bands are close friends, play at "Mittelalter Märkten" (Medival Markets, what you would call a Ren Faire) and often perform together. Subway To Sally started in the early 2000's to get multiple similar bands together for special christmas concerts all over germany called "Eisheilige Nacht" (lit ice holy night in reference to their then new single "Schneekönigin" (Snow Queen)). Since than it only grew bigger and it turned into a one night mini festival with a small ren faire touring with them. In general, in contrast to most other metal genres, most of these bands dont take themselves too serious, while having serious songs and such, they have a sense of humor thats often lacking and espescially Feuerschwanz and Saltatio Mortis can be outright clownish (at least at live shows) Weirdly this style is not really well known outside of the german speaking nations. Is you want to go down the rabbithole, I highly recommend older stuff from Subway To Sally (they got more into the NDH direction while never fully abandoning their roots), InExtremo, Saltatio Mortis (their Hypa Hypa cover is hilarious), Feuerschwanz and Corvus Corax.

[@robertdeelen6685]

PS: The "harsh" vocalist is "Alea der Bescheidene" (the Humble) of forementioned Saltatio Mortis. They also did an amazing cover of "My Mother Told Me"

[@ford1546]

@@robertdeelen6685 from what I have read, they have had many different singers over the years. why I wonder. they make too many cover songs. Do not know if I call Feuerschwanz a stable and good band

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

OMG, Elizabeth!!!!!! If it wasn't for your channel i probably would've never found this awesome gem (or it would've taken me quite a while)! Idk how on earth i missed that masterpiece and how the hell they managed to make Warriors Of the World Unite, one of the most badass songs ever and made it even more badass, but somehow they pulled it off and it's EPIC. Thx again for that video :)

[@guybrushthreepwood1519]

What an epic collaboration. Feuerschwanz, Alea, Melissa, Angus... yeah, gonna be a good day. Also I like Alea's beard in this MV, he looks like a wizard ;)

More like really big dwarf, aspecially with his hair :P

[@svenbredenkamp5905]

What a wonderful epic remake, and ps you're just damn charismatic, I like it when you are happy like a little child when you discover something new in the video

[@Espen_Danielsen]

This is a Manowar cover! 😉 Would love to see you do a reaction to the original.

[@mikep.7146]

A Manowar video after this is not an option, is mandatory! Adams' charismatic voice is second to none.

[@markototev]

Hopefully you check out the original. Eric Adams is one of heavy metal's greatest voices.

Let's reverently and loudly recite the Warrior's Prayer: Gods of war I call you, my sword is by my side I seek a life of honor, free from all false pride I will crack the whip with a bold mighty hail Cover me with death if I should ever fail Glory, majesty, unity, hail, hail, hail

Yes, but for Eric Adams' best singing, she needs to react to The Gates of Valhalla, studio.

You should definitely do more Feuerschwanz! They make the most fun songs :D If you wanna see more, check out their cover of "Ding" with Melissa, or "Metfest"

[@Equilibrium2903]

With how hard Napalm records is going in paying reactors to do Feuerschwanz, you can be certain she will eventually...

[@GreyMatterStew]

Ding! Ding! Their cover is soooo much fun.

[@GaryFlagler333]

Amazing! I was a little surprised that Melissa didn't actually bring down "thunder from the sky". She looked like a bad ass spellcaster!

[@StarGazer9976]

This band is amazing. This was my first time hearing them and now I am fan forever now. This has the epic ness of Amon Amarth, but the storytelling of Within Temptation. I love it. Again, I am a fan forever now.

[@brettkeepin808]

Very cool Manowar cover, never heard of these guys before but will definitely check them out 👍

[@francescosirotti8178]

The original song is marvelous, and you should totally give Manowar a listen. "Warriors of the World" is a great song, but other good choices are "Swords in the Wind", "Gods of War", "Master of the Wind"...

[@StergiosMekras]

and Battle Hymn ...and... and...

[@prodigaIProdigy]

From a vocal perspective the clear pick is "Blood of My Enemies" imho

[@saschaoswald480]

Yes! She needs to hear Eric Adams!

[@hook0210]

@@prodigaIProdigy From a vocal perspective I'd much rather she picked one of their more epic songs, like "Mountains", "The Secret of Steel", "Gates of Valhalla" or "Bridge of Death", where Eric really shows off his dynamics. Although I love the "hits" as well, these are more interesting songs, and honestly their best.

[@jorgecastilleja]

I agree ☝️

[@brendanhart517]

I adore this song and happy to see you react to it. I love the way you react to things, oh what's that 5 minute song? Better get settled in for a 30 minute video (which is just so fun)

[@carlosquilez3256]

you shiould really check out "My mother told me" from Saltatio Mortis, I think you are going to love it

[@xJericho82]

Always love seeing one geeking out, about stuff I love as well.

[@Xlcola]

It is really time for you to listen and react to Brothers of Metal now! If you liked this video and song, you'll love them! They're a Swedish band with music inspired by nordic mythology, and some humour in their videos. You should listen to the song Kaunaz Dagaz, or possibly Yggdrasil. Spoiler alert: Brothers of Metal are not only brothers ;)

[@andrewsnyder3056]

I immediately thought of Brothers of Metal when I saw this. Kaunaz Dagaz is a masterpiece, otherwise Hel has really grown on me. Yggdrasil is the perfect song but I don't know that it would give an accurate sense of what the rest of their songs are like.

[@rallvein7849]

Wow, this cover and the video are amazing! Very fun analysis as well, thanks for this video!

Never heard of them. Love Manowar though, can't wait for the analysis.

Nice job, Elizabeth! 👍 You also should listening they song named Ding. Very cool and catchy song with great vocal.

[@mycarabao76]

First time commenting here. I haven't seen any reactions to Loreena McKinnett. A beautiful voice. I really, really love her song of a poem, The Highway Man. The way she uses tempo and dynamics enhances the story of the poem. I get different emotios throughout the story. Just a hidden gem, in my opinion. The unfortunate part is there are not any good live versions, as one of the goid quality has the sound synced a second or two off from video. Hope you do a reaction of these song. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I have started appreciating music and voices singing more now because I have learned from your videos.

Loreena McKennitt - a hidden gem? You're not from Canada ... it seems. Also - almost every Metal-listener knows her (that's not surprising ...) For - live-version ... the whole "Nights from the Alhambra" is available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ27pIqfg7SAf6c It's a DVD I have never regret to buy - her voice, the (minimalistic) instrumentalisation - yeah, I'm listening a lot to Metal, Rock and electric guitars. But Loreena McKennitt was and still is something special!
