"Headless Cross" - Erik Grönwall (Black Sabbath Cover) | Pro Singer Reacts

[@miafranlund6982]

Erik Grönvall was leadsinger for HEAT a couple of years. At 2021 he was diagnosed with leukaemia, he was lucky to be able to recover from that due to a stamcelltransplant. This video is made during his recovery. In 2022 he joined Skidrow, but was forced to quit this year to take care of his health.

Erik is Swedish. Another Swede, also born in 1987 as Erik, is Tommy Johansson. Also a metal singer with an incredible voice and range. Low range, I suggest Sound of silence. High range, I suggest Phantom of the opera. On Erik's channel you'll find a collab betw the 2, covering Sabaton's Carolus Rex. Tommy's channel has 200+ covers and original work. Do recommend! Also Erik's cover of I will always love you. Blew me away.

I'll definitely be watching more of his stuff, i don't have a very large audience base, but if taking an hour or two to create a reaction video can get his videos even 1,000 more views he gets paid for those views and could hopefully help out. It won't be much, but if i can help even the tiniest bit, i will.

Okej, Let’s do it! Like a smoooooth criminal 👌😀 Erik is the best ⭐️

[@bstfortst1]

Erik made a studio in his house and starting his KZbin channel during his chemotherapy. You can see that he has no hair in this video. Nowadays he is free from cancer, but he has a new immune system and had to stop touring because of that. And he made the decision to leave Skid Row.

[@brittjannesath2539]

Erik are amazing. His cover of I will always love you are just so beautiful and shows amother side of his voice. Erik had his own band HEAT., and the 2 other in this video are band members from HEAT. Erik also was in New Horizon with Jona Tee the bass and guitarist here. Dave Dalone on the guitarsolo

[@perlarsson8430]

Thank you for a nice reaction! Benny Andersson from ABBA is his paternal grandfather and his mother is a famous swedish singer which, perhaps, gives us a clue to his talent. Tommy Johansson, another amazing swedish singer slash guitarist, also does a fantastic cover of this song. 😁

[@ingmariohman8242]

@@perlarsson8430 Benny Andersson is not a relative of Eriks. Benny's son is Peter Grönvall.

[@perlarsson8430]

@@ingmariohman8242 Ok. Tack för informationen. Gick på ngn gammal artikel att Erik skulle vara son till Nanne. Fel av mig.

Erik recorded this during his chemotherapy!! How the !"!=")()#= could he summon the strength to do this??? Amazing! Please react to more of his videos!

[@jamesp7709]

Glad you found Erik; KZbin's best kept secret. Please, please, check out his cover of "I Will Aways Love You." He does everything from Journey to Judas Priest on his channel, but that cover will blow you away for sure.

[@normora5857]

I am glad that you liked my request. To be honest, I like Erik's cover more than the original. Erik won the Swedish Idol in 2009. After that he started singing for the band H.E.A.T. and later fronted Skid Row. He also got a Grammy Award nomination for his performance in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. Sadly he had to step back from his musical endeavours because he was diagnosed with leukemia.

[@DavidBraileyLive]

Oh my god, thats heart breaking, he can't be much older than myself. This was an absolute treat, thank you!

[@DavidBraileyLive]

This song shares revenue, so the more people who watch the video, more money goes to Erik during this crappy time. I know Switzerland takes much better care of their sick than America does, but financial insecurity while dealing with something so life changing can profoundly effect someone's physical health. So share this as fare and wide as you can, and i will do my best to keep one of his covers in every round of filming i do. P.S. To be fully transparent, i also benefit from the ad revenue, however, the most will go to whoever owns the rights to the song, then to Erik, and I get the scraps... so while a big share will benefit me a tiny bit, it will benefit eric twice as much (i think thats how it works)

[@SusanneGudmundsgardh]

Just so you know Erik is from Sweden not Switzerland❤ Love from Sweden

[@DavidBraileyLive]

Thank you for that, I LOVE sweden. I say that, but I've only been to Stockholm, haha. Working on cruise ships I spent my embarkation days walking from the terminal in to the city during the beautiful Swedish summer... Heaven! I'm especially nostalgic about it now, I currently live in the desert and its going to be 112 F today! (44 C) Thanks again!

[@TomLutonUK]

It took me about 40 seconds to realise you weren’t Rob Schneider dude! Great reaction video though, Erik is one of the best male singers on the planet. He does an amazing version of I will always love you too 👍🏻

[@DavidBraileyLive]

I don't know if I should laugh or be offended, LMAO! Thanks??? lol!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video despite the fact that i'm not Rob Schneider, lol! Thanks so much for subscribing, Ill definitely check out "I Will Always Love You", I've never heard it sung by a tenor. Thanks again! (i think 🧐 lol)

[@TomLutonUK]

@@DavidBraileyLive Lol was not meant to offend, my guy! Yeah you should check that one out, it’s absolutely awesome. Looking forward to more reacts 👍🏻👊🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@glennkirchens7970]

Eric stated he used this song as warm up, dang.

[@DavidBraileyLive]

A warm up??? I suddenly dislike this man… purely out of envy. lol

[@jannenyvall748]

Listen to all by myself

[@Konstenius666]

Sweden has a LOT of great bands 🤘🏻 Ex Nekrokraft, Unleashead, Dark Funeral etc etc 🇸🇪

[@swedishmom]

Erik Grönwall rock! He and Tommy Johansson (ex lead guitarist) from Sabaton made a cover of Sabatons song Carolus Rex! Check the rabbit hole of Tommy! It is deeeeep! 😂

[@DavidBraileyLive]

I actually have Tommy Johansson’s Phantom of the Opera reaction coming out next week. I have a laundry list of stuff I want to hear from Tommy! Thanks for the suggestion, it’s on the list!

[@PetterLoke]

Do Erics cover 'Painkiller' (Judas priest)🇸🇪

[@LaSDetta]

you should listen to the original to see that it is a really good cover (might even eclipse the original)
