[@TheBaconWizard]

[@Danceofmasks]

You would have to be a spectacularly bad player to hit your teammates even in a small room. Choosing a high corner of a room and applying the 20'r template is usually super safe. Unless your DM houserules unpredictable blowback for a spell that in RAW is neither unpredictable nor has blowback.

[@Dreadnought_XIII]

@@Danceofmasks or you could just take it as a joke, aside from that, casting fireball for a single target is not that smart, there are better choices

[@Danceofmasks]

@@Dreadnought_XIII I did take it as a joke. That was my impression of an akstuallier. Y'know, the guys that say, "akstually, it's like this."

[@SylviusTheMad]

@@Danceofmasks Older editions had fireball fill the volume of a 20 ft diameter sphere, so in a narrow corridor it was remarkably easy to hit yourself or your party. Casting Fireball down a dead-end 5'x5' hallway, it actually wasn't possible to cast it far enough away from yourself to avoid damage until you were level 12 (the spell first becomes available at level 5).

I'll never forget the first time I got to see Gloryhammer opening with this song. It was their first Australian tour, they played at a local pub to an audience of maybe 30 people. I was invited last minute by my Scottish friend, who wanted us to "go and support Gloryhammer against the invasion of his home country". I was hooked, and been helping these guys battle through the cosmos ever since! I paid $12 for a ticket at the door.

Your reaction to the broken English is quite expected and warranted. They're kind of an affectionate parody of European power metal, and their "unique" choice of phrases is entirely on purpose to sort of poke a bit of fun at all the non-native English speaking lyricists in the genre, with great lines like "an epic war is fight!", "a hero cannot be defeated simply by making him die!" and "immortal warrior with armor made from wolf!". So great. :D

[@notronsivart]

oK....I'm a HUGE Gloryhammer nerd and I just wanna make a few points. First off I'm 99% sure this is the album version laid over a live video. Second, on his pronunciation, Thomas has a slight lisp and I think his precise diction might be the result of speech therapy or just something he learned to do to compensate for that. He's D's are a little soft and his S's are stretched a bit. Yes Chris Bowes is Zargothrax's voice on the albums. Definitely listen to the whole album. It tells a perfect classic fantasy story. And check out Silent Tears of Frozen Princess on this album if you want to hear Thomas sing a ballad. I'm an EVEN BIGGER D&D nerd and I also was highly entertained by the line "Fireballs make everybody die." I love your videos and especially love GLORYHAMMER! HAIL TO HOOTS!!!!!

And keep the costumes comming. ^_^ There's two songs I would love for you to react to. The first is "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd. I feel this song was MADE to be reacted to by you. It's all about the vocals, and the version from the Pulse consert will make your soul weep in joy! The other wish is for the "High Hopes" with Nightwish.

A couple days late, but I feel compelled to mention how delightful of a video this is. You're beaming with even more excitement than usual, the passion about this stuff is blatant, the song is fantastic and even the cosplay looks way better than it has any right to. I enjoyed this a lot. If I have any complaints, it's that you didn't bring up the galloping guitar riff in the verses. You don't need to worry about which side you're on, btw. The undead unicorns were "forced to serve hell" while the live ones are being magical elsewhere. I'm not entirely sure about their purpose in the lore, but they seem to be an object of worship of sorts. They show up as such later on. Here's to more Gloryhammer reactions.

[@logan502]

Hey Elizabeth!!!Have you heard "ANGUS McSIX" yet!!!!!?????Winkler's new band!!!!

[@evilbrat5376]

Have to say that the best part of all these videos is watching the facial expressions and body gestures of this young woman. She really gets caught up in all her reactions and reports. Keep on as if I weren't here watching.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

If you're looking for more Unicorn content from Gloryhammer, I believe their song "The Land of Unicorns" is much better and features much stronger singing! Also, my favorite Gloryhammer song is the one called Gloryhammer!

[@jonaskarsna2850]

Gloryhammer was actually the first song by the band with the same name she reacted to.

[@johnplaster4536]

I have been geeking out to this song for like a month now I am so glad you reacted to it!

[@cadik3018]

Been waiting oh so patiently for this.

[@Kumamon623]

I’m so happy that this is your Tuesday pick!! Listening to all the albums you get taken on an amazing fantasy journey!

[@VXGaming]

HAIL HOOTS, Next you must accept the quest to travel to "THE LAND OF UNICORNS" Elizabeth. Regarding Guitar Hero, That is basically a dead game at this stage. Their is however a free fan made version on PC were people make and upload all sorts of music to play.

[@sirkat344]

This was a hoot! Great reaction- let's face it, Elizabeth does get into it big. The group's sound reminds of ... some band or two from the 80s. Can't pull it up, but yeah, great road music! Such fun to watch !

[@webcrawler9782]

"That was a beautiful production of the word DIE" LOL 😂

[@hjalnelson9579]

It was SUCH a pleasure to see you do more Gloryhammer... #unicornsneedheadphonestoo

[@martwalstock]

10:21 The person you heard singing is probably Christopher Bowes. He is also the lead singer in Alestorm, another band you should check out.

[@montesquieinc.4465]

Love the increase of appreciation for this type of music from everyone, I notice you start to head banging, love it. It's natural jejejej Cheers! Great channel

[@radicalbradical8766]

To bad as of today thomas winkler is no longer with gloryhammer. I'm super bummed!

[@Canuck1000]

I was coming over to say that. It was a strange split.

[@CarnagedZaraki]

So happy you're doing more Gloryhammer! They've become my favorite Power Metal Band!!!!

[@TheDenver14]

Now that Elizabeth has listened to Gloryhammer a couple of times, maybe it's time to listen to one of the legends of Symphonic Power Metal: Rhapsody. I'd love her reaction to Emeral Sword or Dawn of Victory (the original ones with Fabio Lione)

[@AnnaSkk]

Totally agree! I'd love to see a reaction on one of these songs!

[@XanderTuron]

Excuse me, it's pronounced Eeemeralll Swwwwwword.

[@umarae27]

💯! TBH, I'm totally addicted to the way Fabio & Dan sing it together, with Dan's band Fearless blowing us away too. Fabio Lione & Dan Vasc

[@alecmartin88]

Hope to bump into you guys are Bloodstock this weekend! The crowd is great, you're gonna love it :D

[@TM_599]

What a fun track, saw them perform it live, it was a great show! I once again recommend Battle Beast - Bringer of pain, a super powerful voice!

[@abefactory]

+1 for battle beast! Noora Louhimo is a metal godess!

[@cassiusvictus7838]

I was having a bad day until I saw your reaction, and it really picked up my day. Not sure how I missed this for two years.

[@joewestford313]

Is it true or just a rumor of the "charismatic grapvine" that Elizabeth will attend the Gloryhammer concert in this costume?

[@sturees8192]

Wakka wakka wakka!!! I absolutely love your reactions - they're so infectious. I'm smiling from ear to ear. My other faves so far have been Pearl Jam, Queensryche, and Temple of the Dog. So so awesome. Can I please suggest you analyse Leann Rimes singing Amazing Grace. It is just soooo gorgeous.

that's the feeling on this kind of songs, power, epic history and a great fun time, i had never seen you enjoying a song as well like this

[@daviehudson4270]

As someone who is born and bred in Dundee the unicorn invasion is every Saturday night

[@DavidJones-ko8gp]

dead or undead?

[@bigfoottaylor8812]

Gloryhammer make me proud to be Scottish! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you Elizabeth 😁👍 P.S, love your videos, so great watching your enthusiasm for all genres (especially metal 🤘🏻)! Always good to see a fellow geek 😊

[@chancaca1603]

Gloryhammer is my absolute favorite band, and i'm so glad that you're hearing this song, i would love if you listened to more gloryhammer or other cheese metal bands like grailknights or Victorius

[@palmosphere]

Definitely +1 for Grailknights. (and definitely another one for more Gloryhammer!)
