First Time Reaction | Jinjer - "Teacher Teacher"

That sound at the end is the bass pulling the last string, making that dissonant note... yes... it adds a lot of color to the end of the song

[@BOOMBiggityBam]

I love this song but those notes on the bass at the end are my favorite 😆

@@BOOMBiggityBam very original... this is what I like about Jinjer... they innovate, they don't copy... you can see different inspirations in their music, but always reinventing and combining things like no one other does...

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Flicking it with the nail afaik, but super amplified in the studio mix.

@@Dark__Thoughts totally possible... but it's awesome

[@cyberia55]

DENG! 😂

[@dmann05]

One of the things I love about Vlad's drumming are his mixed kick/tom fills and especially his accent hits on the cymbal bells he does in this and other songs. He is very creative and precise and apparently he writes a lot of music for the band (he plays piano and guitar too). All around badass, in a group full of total badasses

[@lloyderc]

This is probably the best rock song in decades . It jams

[@RayzorSOS]

That "double bass gets me every time", is actually a snare blast beat. Genuine reaction by you as always...love your content!

[@bobbydelamar606]

Teacher Teacher is my new favorite song. And Jaded by Spiritbox.

[@steveb1972]

What I love is the way the drum set is always slung low so we can see him. Not many do that.

[@chriskeentechnician]

For a long song, it always feels too short! 😩😆 So much awesomeness in one song!!

[@jabberwokee4127]

Another great reaction, and glad you’re feeling better. Pit of Consciousness and On the Top, both live at Kiev are a couple of my favs and worth checking out when you get time. I’ll keep an ear out for your next reaction and have fun jumping down the Jinjer rabbit hole! 👍

[@chrissmilich3530]

I love your name...its fitting for the Jinjer rabbit hole 😃

[@jabberwokee4127]

@@chrissmilich3530 Thanks! Very true indeed!

[@joshmosh689]

I must've watched 10 of these reactions of Jinjer, all Piscesbof course. But watching yours and your just pure adoration for this woman and this band makes me so happy!!! ❤ I'm a new fan also. It's weird, I heard a few songs a couple years ago and it didn't bite me, at all. 🤷 But when the Pisces video came out or started getting wings I was blown the fuck away! And like most of us Jinjer junkies I just can't get enough of Tatiana n co. Anyway, thanks for all your kind words for this Amazing band band out of war torn Ukraine. Oh, you mentioned seeing them in October! I got my tickets for House of blues downtown Disney, wondering which show you'll be catching??? 😉💯🤘❤️🔥

[@Crivicus]

My favourite Jinjer song! Great reaction and yes the jazzy feel is a part of one of their styles.

[@jeffwellman8347]

You would like "Who is gonna be the One" (live, Napalm Records)

[@goldenruletv7301]

I saw them in HOU on the Macro tour and they opened the show with this song....they were incredible.

[@OlympusMons1969]

Everyone who hears JINJER is blown away. It may not be your type of music. But they bring it everytime.

[@eqgilethan]

You mentioned "I Speak Astronomy" and "Judgement (& Punishment)" upcoming. For Judgement, I'd suggest Tatiana's one take vocal, or the live in Melbourne if you want to see the entire band. The official video is fun and worth watching on your own after, but I honestly prefer that one live.

[@rofyle]

Several KZbin reaction channels are going to see them this year. Some have never even been to a metal show before, and had no interest in metal before they heard Jinjer. That's neat.

[@DashingViperAz]

Definitely have to see Jinjer live..Glad your feeling better

[@MLuxemburg]

Love Jinjer! Love your reactions! Can't wait for this one! ❤🤘

[@piotrduz7179]

Me too, love your reactions

[@JoshBabin]

Gotta love those g-strings bass pops at the end. Dissonant, and fits perfectly

[@erased84]

If you get the chance to see them DO IT. You won’t regret it. I got to hang out with them and I shot their show in 2019. They’re so nice. Very humble. I even got a hug from Tati

[@TheGreenie21]

That sound at the end is just badass bass playing lol 😎

This lady takes the show over. Can not take my eyes off of her. And then you do that big warm smile where you beam..... Too much for me!! Sensory overload - short circuit of my brain........ I adore your energy and emotion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@deafnewt6361]

I've watched several of your reaction videos now. You do an excellent job. You get into the music quickly. You present yourself well. You have a dynamite smile. Your enthusiasm for the music is infectious. Your comments are on point. The quality of your sound and video is better than most. Thank you. PS. Jinjer is god-tier.

[@tvadakia]

That last sound you were commenting on was a pinch harmonic off of the bass guitar. It’s a great effect that most instruments can produce using a “picking” technique with the picking hand and a light touch on the string at particular points at the string by the fret-hand.

[@todamy3705]

Your reactions to Jinjer are my favorites!

[@raquetaviajera8015]

Love your reaction Awesome song greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 ☆♡

I just discovered you and when you said The Contortionist was one of your favorite groups, I immediately paused the video and subscribed. Hell yeah!

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Excellent performance ! This was filmed here in Australia in 2020, just a few days after I saw them in my home town - A night I will treasure and remember all my life. It will amaze you Aileen just how awesome they are and what a sweet honey Tatiana is. Cheers !

Amazing piece of music, one of their masterpieces! Great reaction, your expressions just feeling the music and vibbing with it made the video. Cheers.

[@camlloyd3321]

Fun stuff! Yup Vlad is a beast on drums! He is the king of ghost notes, and blast beats.

[@KWHCoaster]

I hope you were able to see Jinjer live. I saw them November 2019 in Toronto and was blown away. I originally got a ticket for one of my favourite local bands, Sumo Cyco, who were opening for Jinjer. "Who is Jinjer?" After a few of songs on KZbin, I was on Amazon ordering all of Jinjer's albums! Was due to see them again November 2021, until Covid effed that up. Hoping they return again ASAP.

[@danielvernon2341]

That sound was the bass guitar at the end, Eugene giving it a little bit of a slap :D

[@AileenSenpai]

Doing Eugene things 🤣♥️

[@danielvernon2341]

@@AileenSenpai As he does 😂

[@danielmahler8099]

i think its more of a pop. Slapping is when you hit the string with your thump. Usually you pop the higher strings to get these sounds.

[@danielvernon2341]

@@danielmahler8099 You are right, as a bass player I consider the pop as just part of the slap bass technique and it is what most people understand ☺️

[@Hammy_lucas]

Oh I love the new hair

[@joespradley2323]

It’s such a joy to watch how much you are enjoying this song as much of us do. This band is so amazing all around and Tatiana uses the influences from the different genres she sang in the 6 bands that she was with before Jinjer was formed. It is a Jinjer signature well known. If you love Jazz wouldn’t mind some Sade reactions. Thanks🙏🏼🌹

[@seandobson6221]

Do I Speak Astronomy. That’s my favorite. The noise was Eugene strumming very strongly on the string. In Tool’s song Sober the bass player plays similar to this sound.

[@chriswalden798]

Hey i'm really enjoying all your Jinjer reactions, and look forward to many more! I will be seeing Jinjer for my second time this coming October in Seattle, but this time decided to get get the VIP ticket so I could meet the band and give Tati a hug. I will tell her you said "hey" ;-P One of their songs from live in Kiev would be great for a next reaction. Either the Song "on the top" which is a bit more up beat. Or for a darker song "Pit of Consciousness"

[@baronofgreymatter14]

Newest song from Jinjer is Vortex ...just released from the upcoming album

[@Edvardpo]

My favorite song of Jinjer!

The way u-pic-a-part the music and like the instruments you have to do band-maid they will blow your mind it is one thing for a band we couldn't Studio but check out any of their life s*** I would suggest starting with Thriller freedom.

It is always nice to see somebody falling in love.

[@stevekallio6783]

Another great reaction Aileen. You already know I'm always gonna be here for your Jinjer reactions. 😊😊 I'm gonna suggest possibly doing a double feature for a future Jinjer reaction, and the song that I'm gonna suggest for that is Pit of Conciousness, both the OMV and the live in Kiev/Kyiv. Both are fantastic, plus that happens to be my favorite Jinjer song, but that's not the reason I'm suggesting it (hint hint) LOL 😄😄, it truly is an amazing song and I know you will absolutely love it. Keep up the great reactions, and you already know, stay Metal young lady. 😊😊🤘🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶

[@jimmorris67]

I most definitely second this recommendation

[@muaddib4329]

I came here for Jinjer but shout out to you for the Contortionist reference. Their album Language is still in my top 10 records ever.

Language is one of favorite albums ever!!! So glad to know people out there love them too 🤟🏻♥️

[@muaddib4329]

@@AileenSenpai Since you like that record so much I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Mike Lessard (the vocalist) was previously in the band Last Chance to Reason whose "Level 2" and "Level 3" records are superb. Very similar sound to TC and have some fantastic vocals on them

[@Indo1030]

That sound Eugene makes on the bass near the end is a Pinch Harmonic...it’s seen/heard fairly frequently using a guitar, but doing it on the bass is very rare!

[@gen.mayhem981]

They admit themselves to having Jazz and R&B influences. You hit the mark there. P.S. you’ve become my favorite new reactor of late! Keep killing it!!

[@tomislavkosanovic1104]

Glad you're back and feeling well, Aileen. Of course we want more Jinjer, we need our fix ;) See what we were talking about ? This band is ridiculously good and Tati is a vocal, charismatic beast. I recommend "I speak astronomy" official, you're going to find the old drummer Dmitry Kim there, who I also appreciate a lot, "Who is gonna be the one Live", and for some older Jinjer, the excellent "Outlander" official video. Waiting for your J&P reaction.

[@jamesmusisca7547]

bands a total beast

[@tonybrelinski3710]

Awesome :) Glad you're feeling better. Love this song as well as all their other songs :). I'll add my vote for I Speak Astronomy. Actually the latest Hellfest 2021 concert they did has the best live version of I Speak Astronomy I've heard. There is no separate video for it, but there are time stamps in the description of the full concert video. The Official music video is awesome as well. Also check out Pit of Consciousness and On the Top (live in Kiev and the Official music videos are both great). Great songs. Definitely see them live. I have my VIP tickets for their Oct 24th show in Portland, OR. Going to the meet and greet. Can't wait! I also have tickets for the show the next day (going with a friend who didn't buy the tickets in time before the first show sold out).

That sound/noise is the bass..he just quickly stemmed a chord on the basses thinner strings n it's kinda bright sounding.

[@guitar_noodle]

The string thing you're asking about is the Bass. Eugene is strumming a couple of strings(sounds like two strings) which strumming bass strings is not too common. As you heard, its a very distinct sound and great effect.

[@armyvetjolly247]

Another awesome reaction. Keep it up. Can't wait to see more.

I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been well, Aileen, I hope that you have recovered now? I glad that you enjoyed this this great song by this great band. I think that you should check out 'Judgement (and Punishment)' both the official video (for the story which is great fun) and Tatiana's one-take vocal version (for her performance, up-close-and-personal), maybe do a double-header two videos in one reaction? 🙂 x

[@darkjester4048]

Agreed but Tatiana's Vocal 1 take is so much more impressive than the Official Video in my opinion

[@AileenSenpai]

So much better. Thank you so much, Adam ♥️

[@scuppernog1]

That is still on of my favorite jinjer songs and another great reaction. If you like Vlad and the double bass drumming I think you will really like "Awakening " by Unleash the Archers.

[@goldenruletv7301]

I love all things Jinjer....incredible band and I've been just enamored with Tatiana since the first time I heard them 4 years ago. They just sound better and better every album and never get old. I can't wait for the next record and I always have them in my prayers since the current events are so jacked up over there but it's been that way for years. I just love this band....and they're incredibly humble and deserve all the success they're having. Watching Eugene finger tap that 5 string bass is awesome and Vlad kills it on the drums and Roman just gives them that unique touch that no one else has. Cloud Factory is a great album and each album has been better and better. I'm with you, Aileen....I just love Tatiana.

[@Mugenryujin]

[@Failtasmagoria]

The sounds you were curious about was simply the top two strings on the bass getting the dirty thumb treatment from Eugene... they include all sorts of playing styles within the hardcore playground they inhabit. Some funk, some jazz, classical technique and reggae flavors... it's really what gives their sound such an individual personality. Secret diversity...

[@darinosmond2640]

Both "Pit of Consciousness" and "On The Top" live from Kiev are phenomenal performances. Definitely need to check those out. 🤘

[@nutrybe]

If you're ever looking for a heavy song with a soft, bossa nova almost jazzy transition in a future Jinjer song...check out "Home Back". It's a very meaningful song to them as it's about having to live in or flee from a war-torn country (they hadn't been able to return to eastern Ukraine when they wrote it due to the ongoing war with Russia there). Lyrics are a must for all of their songs...very poetic! She has a way of weaving uncommonly used words and English isn't even her first language.

I am going to see them in September and i am absolutely hyped for it. I have seen them before but i really can't get enough of those people. For you it might be vlad who brings the magic and i can absolutely understand why you feel that way. But i gotta say i really like Eugene on the bass the most. He is absolutely killing it and adding so much vibe to the whole experience. I am considering getting a bass guitar and starting to learn but first of all i need to fokus on studying physics i guess. :D I love your reactions i will watch all "jinjer " or "System of a down" related videos. Have a wonderful day!

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

It's Jinjer time and I will always be here for that. You want to see Tatiana's progression as a singer and the boys progress as a band. Check out outlander the color failure video . Vlad's not in the band yet. And cloud factory the official video. You can then watch each with Vlad and see the difference that Vlad brings. By the way those are my two favorite songs by Jinjer. There's no bad song Jinjer is special that way. I haven't heard a bad song yet I just like some more than others. Oh yeah Tatiana's hair goes from dreads to short. Pisces was done while her hair was growing back . There's so much for you to see still can't wait to see you react to them. Peace from Stan the Alaskan.

[@ToyutahLifein]

One thing I've noticed is that maybe they change bass and guitar to fit each song. On a couple instead of having the regular E, A, D, G, B, E, they change to A, E, A, D, F#, b. Not sure if it's to help voice or the main sound of the song. Either way it's great and still seems new(even though Jimi Page did that a lot)

[@capstan50g]

Vlad is without doubt one of the most tasteful and creative drummers playing now. His drums also sound amazing! Great reaction! You should react to Angelina Jordan's black & white video of I Put A Spell On You sometime. The jaw-drop factor is off the charts.

Btw, if you are into checking new bands, there's another song I love from a band called Rage of Light, where the front woman was Melissa Bonny (I say was because she left the band like 1 month ago) that I think you would love... it's metal as well... mixing normal singing and some screaming (by Melissa and a male singer), and I shocked me for the use of synthesizers, fast pace and originality... maybe you can check out. The song is called "Mechanicals" and the band, as I said "Rage of Light"
