It's insane that he can sound EXACTLY the same live as he does in the studio. Not many singers out there can pull that off

[@justastupidjourney3978]

You read my mind

[@triedset]

Its called "not using autotune"

[@Luxamara]

same thought

[@mrsebastianhauk]

In my opinion he sounds better live than on tape.

Fun fact: The featured singer Johan Gotthardt Olsen (lead singer of the Danish rock band Magtens Korridorer) is also an assistant professor and researcher at Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen. He holds a PhD in macromolecular crystallography and biochemistry. Not often you see a rock star with an active academic career like that.

[@hotfjotte]

And just to add…. He makes podcasts for kids about science and is bloody good at it too :)

[@jacobklunder8552]

I work with kids age 5 - 10 here in Denmark and I love putting this on at full volume and see the kids rock out and sing along

[@nonya329]

For eviiiiiiiigt

[@renehansen590]

Altid for evigt.

[@helheimx]

By the way the stalker-serial killer type (Johan Olsen) has a phd. in molecular biology as well as beeing the leadsinger i one of the most popular rock bands i Denmark as well as beeing part of two more sideprojekts.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Nice lol

[@JAKDK-dh3us]

Not only a phd... He's Teaching!!!

[@hassetjifrebro8222]

I think it’s fair to put Volbeat as one of the most popular bands in Europe. Huge in Sweden and heard them on the radio in Germany too.

[@rosamariasolmund5693]

He also co-hosts a really good podcast 😎

[@Corpsorz]

@@hassetjifrebro8222 Very popular in the Netherlands aswell

[@admiralthunderbunny4520]

Dude, welcome to the greatness that is Volbeat. I think you'd love "Lonesome Rider" and "Lola Montez".

[@frederikkeninalund8454]

This song is so beloved in Denmark. In 2020, I performed a romantic (classical) version of this song, at a wedding. Not many rock-songs can be considered appropriate for a wedding, but this one had everyone at the wedding crying happy tears. It's an amazing song.

[@SRXofChaos]

oh hell yes Volbeat some good old American style Rockabilly by a Danish Band, I recommend some other songs by this band, Lola Montez, Die to Live, Cheapside Sloggers, Leviathan

[@anjajensen3043]

Who are you to tell us witch are a good band when you even know them. .Get of your job give it to someone who knows what the talk about...shame on you

[@ShaneshaS]

It’s oldstyle danish rock

[@SuperRashead]

I was at this concert. In the front. Got the ticket for free, by the most fantastic group; For Helede Support Denmark, by a member that said it should be a member in need. My father was sick and died a year later. But it was a fantastic concert. And long. We were around 50,000 fans. The biggest concerts with a danish band in Denmark ever.

[@BMW750Ldx]

It's a number played for the Danish Handball team that now won 3 World cup in a row !!

[@tonyclifton2172]

Volbeat is the best metal band in Europe atm

[@darrenchambers4171]

Check out their track "The Devil's Bleeding Crown", it's a little rockier than this one. For the full heavy Volbeat experience, try "Evelyn", featuring Barney from Napalm Death.

[@goodini026]

i prefer the demo version where Michael is singing, harkens back to his days in his death metal band Dominus

[@andersstrygerlarsen4443]

Banjo artist is Rod Sinclair Scot Living in Denmark, female Singer is Mia Maja who have done a bit of work with Volbeat but not that famous for her own music, Telia Parken is the Danish National Stadium in Copenhagen where most big stadium bands would play in Denmark, and something a lot of Danish bands aspire to be able to fill out, Volbeat has had a few tours where they played after Telia Parken. The Danish bit : For evigt, måske for evigt Ska' vi sammen samme vej Og når i morgen får øjne, og natten hviler sig Ska' vi for evigt måske samme vej Rough Translation: For Ever, maybe for ever, Will we together go the same way, And when tomorrow open its eyes, and the night rests, Will we forever go the same way. It definitely is an anthem, the second largest sport in Denmark, Handball, have more or less adopted this anthem to say that the fans, especially of the male and female national teams, sing this chorus during games to show the team unwavering support. In fact just yesterday during Denmark world championship game against Chile you could hear the crowd singing this chorus and the stadium speaker thanking the crowd for the song. Personally for me the song is about the rocky road a relationship can be on, and the singer stating how all of those memories in spite of the problems still make him wish that the relationship will last forever.

[@skinnybuddha74]

They are rockabilly meets metal. The more you listen to them, the more you hear it.

[@torbenjohansen6955]

yes the one from Telia Parken the one ft. Professor Johan Olesen ( he used to be a professer at copenhagens university. But after budget cuts he works as a freelance scientist at the universety ) he is my fav danish singer by far

[@OldSkuleNerd]

yep thats the one I did.... please forgive the fact I cant say For Evigt on the first try lol

[@torbenjohansen6955]

@@OldSkuleNerd lol dont worry you are forgiven danish is realy hard for roriners to pronaunce ( we dont speek it like its spelled. ) only time i got a little anoyed with you!! Where when you where complaining about Floors mix was off when she sang Ave Maria. You corrected it later but there was no need for that. we all have the right to have our own opinions ( sorry if other Nightwish fans complained a lot about it )

[@torbenjohansen6955]

@@OldSkuleNerd you did realy well when trying to pronounce a Danish word for the first time. the only danish you knew before this video was danish pastry i guess.

[@ronninielsen365]

lige en lille tilføjelse is johan is in the band "magtens korridorer"

[@salemtrials7432]

Love the Volbeat!!! Thanks for reacting to them. The American version of the song is called “The Bliss” with the chorus sung in English. A couple others by them: The Gardens Tale, Cheapside Sloggers, Dead But Rising, Lola Montez, Doc Holiday.

[@iRasmus4]

I am Danish 🇩🇰 and not a big fan of Volbeat. But when this song played on the radio the first time, I was like: Okay this is going to be a classic we are going to hear several times a year for a century!

[@futtejanas5690]

that "weird serial killer" looking guy is Johan Olsen. Johan Olsen: PhD in micropolar advanced technology. award winner professor at the University of Copenhagen and lead singer of the rock group "the corridors of power (magtens korridorer)

[@Thnielsen85]

They mostly follow old school rock formula, but they do it so well! One of the few international known bands from our little Denmark :) Side note: You say its "made" for live performance. and yes it is :) But it is also a great radio song. its has been a big radio hit here in Denmark.

[@MrChristian1605]

I was at the show…..Amazing🧨🧨

[@mikkelboisen5543]

If you really want to go down the Johan Olsen/Magtens Korridorer rabbit hole, you should check out the Infernal/Magtens Korridorer live mash of Steady As She Goes (The Raconteurs). Johan is a force of nature and always brings something extra to the party (around 12:30 in this video you can hear Michael Poulsen say "I don't know if I dare" because he knows the second he starts on the chorus, Johan will clear the stage with his sonic waves).

[@wine.knight]

Ah. Volbeat is absolutely amazing. So good to see them reacted in the channel. Really liked how you did this one and all the input you had about the ''feel good anthems''. Always learn something new in here!

[@reneeweber1623]

Great song and an amazing band! So happy you discovered them! They have so many great songs!

[@arielanderson08]

I love this some so much; it just makes me feel so jazzed! This is the song that we played as we were introduced as man & wife in our reception. My husband introduced me to this group and I love it because I love him!

[@lordogakor4383]

Thanks for sharing!! Volbeat is just an amazing band!

[@renskevanderhaagen5813]

Yay I’m watching this rocking my volbeat shirt, LOL I really love the happy rockabilly metal that they do. And the heavier songs also of course. Also perfect for activity like running, or vacuuming the house or something because it gives a lot of energy.

[@kennethjakobsen7295]

Fun fact: Volbeat opened for Metallica, hvem they played in Denmark. And went on tour with them in the US.

[@blxbrg2169]

Also toured with SlipKnot

[@etessier87]

To me he will always be Metal Elvis!

[@lesliebates22]

Hey I jumped over here after hearing you say you were a rock guy and folk rock guy at the beginning if Tom M don't look down tune. I instantly checked to see if you had reacted to any volbeat and Wow I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VOLBEAT!!!! MICHAEL POULSON the lead is a huge Johnny Cash and Elvis fan. His daughters name is E A Abigail...E A fir Elvis Aaron. The guitar guy with the long hair is Rob Coggiano from Anthrax. I love most of their stuff but LAST DAY UNDER THE SUN is special to me. Great reaction. Hope to see more. Volbeat toured an the was a part of the Knot fest. I to grow up in the 70s and 80s.....born in 73

[@dewaldolivier3216]

Hey shout out here from South Africa. Good reaction man! Cheers

"To get all the Volbeat fans done." You'll never be done xD lol I think you would really love the rockabilly 16 Dollars but I adore A Warrior's Call which is just about a boxer in their home town getting in the ring. So glad you finally got to react to them ^^ FYI both are by Volbeat in case that wasn't clear

[@donanderson2548]

The boxer was Mikkel Kessler. I watched him fight back in the day. Song is accurate, he was ferocious

[@morkrazy]

This was an all star cast, more or less the final show on the tour in their home town. They have guest vocalists in a lot of their songs. During this concert Lars Ulrich (his hometown too) joined in for one of their songs and a cover of enter sandman

[@mrwan7823]

everytime i'm watching this volbeat for evigt live video...still make me goosebump...no doubt Michael Poulsen got great vocal even you listen the studio album or live version.. he's so great

[@justastupidjourney3978]

Saw them live in February. They are probably one of the best bands live I've ever seen. They were the headliner for this Telia Parken concert and sold out a nearly 50,000 capacity venue. They have so many great songs and every individual is at the top of their game for the instrument (or vocals and instrument) they play but you never see egos. Love them. Oh, by the way, the stalker looking dude is Johan, Volbeat's lead singer is Michael Poulsen who has a very unique sound himself. Michael, Jon, the drummer, Rob the lead guitarist (used to play with Anthrax) and Kasper the bass player are the only actual band members. Everyone else are guest appearances. I don't remember if it was this concert or another but Lars from Metallica actually played a couple of songs with them live.

[@kristofferholst6053]

Great reaction sir, I’m totally onboard with your anthem comparison.

[@gman125]

YESSSSSSSS! Bout time is right!!!!! Wooooo!!!! Love love love this band. They kill it live! I think you will really grow to love them too. They toured all through America, and was lucky to catch them. They have a few styles, American influenced, and not caught up on one standard sound, spanning a couple decades. They have a few singers (and instrument players), that rotate for a variety of songs. Lead guitarist is an American, and from a popular heavy rock group. Hopefully you react to more, and figure out who he is. Nice Liliac reference too!

[@franktherookie6580]

Ah...Robbie... of course former Anthrax.. but you might need to be my age (50+) to realize/recognize...

[@palle1900]

The girl is Anne Linnet. Very famous female singer from Denmark.

[@Duchess28]

I love Volbeat and I love that the lead singer is a big fan of Elvis Presley and music from that era :-)

[@nathanmcmenamin3748]

The song is The Bliss and its amazingly the song that got me hooked on these guys! They are one of the BEST live bands you will ever see! Check em out sometime when they get close to you!

[@kennethjakobsen7295]

Hell yeah. I'm from Denmark, and i never imagined, an american reactor would react to a danish band. By the way, For evigt" roughly translates to: Forever or For eternity. As fare as danish metal rock bands goes, i would recommend: "Magtens Korridorer" (Another band with Johan Olsen on vocals) "Sort Sol", "Dizzy Mizz Lizzy" and DAD" Fun fact, DAD originally stood for Disneyland After Dark. Disney Corporation wasn't happy about that. So they had to just call them selfs D.A.D

[@jacobklunder8552]

Týr is technically Danish…

Volbeat can come at you with a banjo or an accordion ....cue the banjo haha You nailed it!!!! I love Volbeat

[@krisklt_fire3438]

Hey man your reaction was very similar to mine when I first heard Volbeat. 😁 Got to say though it's nice to see you in good spirits considering all that has happened this last few weeks. And speaking of that, would you consider reacting to Breaking Benjamin's I Will Not Bow? Kinda one of my favorites when things go poorly and helps me soldier on.

[@rasmusk.4001]

Lead singer is Michael Poulsen. They're from Denmark. He's a huge Elvis fan, which actually inspired his voice to some extent. And he's really good pals with James Hetfield. You're welcome ;-) Ps. Johan is actually a lead singer in another danish band - Magtens korridorer. They're awesome! He's actually a phd in biology - something with proteinforces, haha. Clever dude. Pps. Did you spot Rob Caggiano former Anthrax? ;-)

[@Karldin83]

I wanted to go to this concert so badly. Danish Volbeat playing for 40k people in Copenhagen was just bound to be epic! And I'm a sucker for anything Johnny Cash/rockabilly

[@dktv-musicbykasperbruunkri8663]

best band i have ever heard live ! :)

[@BruceRKF]

Hey man! Just found your channel recently and already love it. I gathered from some of your videos that you rather like yourself some bass playing. Therefore I see it as my duty to recommend Royal Blood. It's a two man-band, bass and drums. Sounds a bit minimalistic, but I can promise you a unqiue sound. "Figure it Out" or "Out of the Black" are good starting songs. Preferably live versions, so that you can actually believe what's happening. Keep up the great entertainment!

[@Jim_86]

Volbeat are a Danish rock band formed in Copenhagen in 2001. For evigt = forever.

[@nleonc00]

Man, this is the perfect song to get introduced to Volbeat! Now if you could react to Lola Montez, The devil's Bleeding crown or Fallen will be amazing!

[@MrMasterful1000]

I've always thought Volbeat is pretty much how Elvis would sound had he come up today

[@leftyme4568]

Danish band. They filled the Danish national stadium this evening, and had some guestsingers come on.

[@TempestDK]

I saw them warm up for Saturnus back in the (long lost) days .... years later, I saw Saturnus open for Volbeat :D

This was from a concert Volbeat did in Denmark (hometown) Johan was on your with them played this song on the record they have this version they also have a all English version..Volbeat is inspired if you listen to more of their music Michael Poulsen (singer) inspired by Johnny Cash Social Distortion it's rockabilly and can hear that in other songs his voice can sound like Cash check out more Cheers!

[@BMW750Ldx]

yeah...BOSTON love them

[@Veaiki]

I totally agree with you that Volbeat follow the standard Feelgood rock anthem, with a hard rock beat. And their songs are damn good. My little trouble with listening to Volbeat is that they get a bit repetitive. Check out "A Warriors Call" - which is a great song by all means - and you'll see. As for pronounving "Evigt" you can try the english word evict, but say it kind of slow and with focus on first syllable :)

It is a Danish band. Johan sings in Danish and he is officially in the song and has sung in other songs with volbeat. He is the lead singer in another Danish band called the Magtens korridorer. and it's not a festival but a stadium concert with volbeat.

[@sannyjohnsen2540]

Ur so right about this song , and nothing brings ppl more together in DK , than this song playing , man everyone is screaming their lungs out lol ! But this danish band is so much more , ( and differrent ) And Volbeat were also well established as icons already here , before this song came out, ( but i get what U mean ) And ur right ,an anthem song , dont think theres a danish person , who doesnt know this song

[@Mike-zx1kx]

Pretty good analysis. Power ballad. The sing a long song, the hook up song, the crowd feel good song etc... Its basically with a chorus about the possibility, that the one you hook up with tonight and you wake up with tomorrow, might be the one you are together with "for evigt" forever... So your "dancing in the dark" etc. comparisons nailed it well and as you said. These songs work and we need them. A little bonus fun fact. Johan Olsen that have this live guest performance are an educated biologist, have a Phd and works as a nature scientist at the faculty of nature science under Copenhagen University, as well as being the lead singer of "Magtens korridorer"/The corridors of power. So he are a busy man playing growling dirty rock in the weekends, while being a serious scientist with a great career. As a Dane it are the small things that all added up, contributes to us being amongst the happiest nations on earth.

[@PureOliveOil]

Almost 4 minutes before it starts. Brutal.
