Jinjer - "Call Me A Symbol" 💙💛 (live) REACTION

[@ryanexsus]

Vlad has been the drummer ever since Micro/Macro. It's when they exploded in popularity. His first video with them was PIsces.

[@hemlock399]

If you're looking for live, I recommend Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev. It's a real clinic on harsh vocal range, and a super-heavy, very progressive song. The official music video is excellent as well. Also super-heavy and very progressive is "Ape". It's a short piece which I consider to be one of Jinjer's pre-eminent "heavy jazz" songs. The 1st section especially gives me avant-garde jazz vibes because it has such a chaotic feel, & yet it is obviously very precisely planned & executed & not at all improvisational. Lyrically, Tatiana takes on the role of Mother Nature lamenting the fact that she has created this voracious, "bloodthirsty ape who walks upright". The song is only 3 1/2 minutes long, but it has 8 highly distinct sections with incredible transitions from section to section. I recommend the official music video, but the one-shot live is also excellent.

[@VocalCitizen]

Pit of Consciousness (live in Kiev) is dropping today. Watch for it. Ape is on my list... Thanks for your support.

[@greglanders1]

It’s always fun watching someone fall in love with Jinjer. No need to apologize. Lengthy reactions are always better in my book. Most of us have heard the song a hundred times over. We are here to hear what you think about it. So bring it on! Thank you! 😊

[@VocalCitizen]

I'm one of those weird eggs who talks to herself. Half the time I seem to be "too hard on myself", but I'm just admonishing myself. I've spent my whole life, entertaining myself verbally. You'll get used to it. 😏 Stay tuned...

[@penseesdeseb4919]

100% agree

[@ВладимирКолесник-р5и]

Thanks for reaction

[@VocalCitizen]

Thank you too

[@MRxMADHATTER]

That's Vlad. He's the current drummer of Jinjer. He was originally a concert pianist.

[@VocalCitizen]

It's so rad....

[@Raul-vl7ly]

I was in attendance at this show in Los Angeles with my son and Neice and all I can say was that evening was a night to remember. Absolutely amazing live band. I’ve been enjoying your Jinjer journey and welcome to the Jinjer army!

[@VocalCitizen]

I'll bet. My sister and I are going to go to their Las Vegas show at House of Blues (where we met Satriani). Can't wait!!! Thank goodness for this channel and all of YOU, educating me on the existence of this band.

[@frankh9600]

The drummer's name is Vlad Ulasevych since 2018. He's a classically trained pianist (look out for the video where he's playing parts of Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concert), and plays guitar and drums. He's a jazz drummer in metal. (Like Greyson in Sepultura now). Since his joining Vlad mostly composes the music, he has dozens of finished pieces in the drawer. The drummer in I Speak Astronomy is Dmitry Kim. Fantastic metal drummer. His tenure was planned being temporary, since their former drummer had an accident which paralysed him😢. You find Dmitry Kim in the recording credits, like for this release you have just watched, as he does recording and sound engineering.

[@VocalCitizen]

Is every Jinjer fan a f*cking encyclopedia??? That's so dope. I love my viewers.

[@frankh9600]

@@VocalCitizen This is cos we f***ing love this band. Once in a generation sensation.

[@ZachComa]

Roman plays just a 6 string...but it's tuned to drop A, which is super low for a 6. Basically, it's a 7 string tuning minus a high string and the lowest string lowered another whole step from B to A.

[@VocalCitizen]

He has a very cool retro style to his playing, to say nothing of his composing skills! It's fascinating to watch him play...

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

A lot of don’t understand that Jinjer is an experience, a thrill ride, a musical adventure.

[@VocalCitizen]

Call it a consentual mindf*ck. It's wicked.

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

5:48 It's jinjer time and I'm here .. it's an absolute joy watching people who absolutely lose their minds over this band

[@VocalCitizen]

HAHA I beat your comment on the actual reaction!!!! I win I win... I hope you enjoyed it.

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

​@VocalCitizen ha ha ha I actually win because I have already been on this ride for 5 years and I have no intention of ever getting off 😂😂😂

[@VocalCitizen]

Fine. One-up me. I'll normalize. 😜

[@JeffMeyers-zm2lh]

Ever since Pisces Live Session it has been Vlad on drums. The former drummer was Dmitri Kim. They already knew Vlad back in 2016 and Dmitri didn't really like the touring bit. Dmitri still plays drums but more of a session player. He does have a little side project band going and he helped in the recording of Wallflower.

[@VocalCitizen]

Nice... I appreciate the info. I will be doing Wallflower next week. Keep your head on a swivel.

[@ericwilson5453]

Jinjer will make you grow brain cells and subsequently cook them.

[@VocalCitizen]

Full circle... I dig it.

[@spiknaaj]

Absolutely loving this 😊 “Home Back” OMV and from this same concert is also a must. The OMV is a masterpiece, so definitely worth a watch especially given its content. But the live version from this same concert just shows how well they pull off live (not that you need any more proof). And I say just do them both as a double feature - none of us will mind 😉

[@VocalCitizen]

Home Back is on my list, so just save my Jinjer Reactions playlist, and you'll see it drop in soon. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to chime in.

[@spiknaaj]

Oh don’t worry, you’re on my watch list 😊 this journey is too good to miss.

[@VocalCitizen]

💃🏼

[@BTAColorado]

That's Vlad on drums, he's been around since ~2016. The Astronomy drummer was Dmitry Kim who filled in after Eugene Mauntlin (sp?) fell from a third story window and was paralyzed. Kim still works with Jinjer doing some audio engineering

[@VocalCitizen]

Holy balls, that's an awful story...

[@DarrellW_UK]

I love watching people’s reactions to Jinjer, Tatiana is an absolute vocal beast! Vlad drums like a machine gun and both the Guitarist and Bassist are insanely talented. I never thought I’d like screamo music until I heard Jinjer, they’re just so amazing! Edit: forgot to say don’t bother using the CC it’s got no idea either when Tati goes into beast mode 😂 Look up the lyrics if you want to prepare yourself for the reaction.

[@VocalCitizen]

If you go watch my Pisces reaction, I was impressed but not hooked in, so I feel ya...But I'm all in now, MF'r

[@DarrellW_UK]

@@VocalCitizen I’m the one who commented on your Pisces reaction and then on Ren about The Warning I can see that you’re like I was about Jinjer, except I binge watched them 🤣

[@VocalCitizen]

I remember, dollface.

[@barwildi1203]

I enjoy your reactions! You are where I was about 5 years ago with Jinjer. It was a very short time before I fell in love with this band.

[@VocalCitizen]

Thank you so much! I'm enjoying the roller coaster so far, so long as they don't rock me hard enough to eject me from my seat...

[@nickmoutos8308]

Such an awesome and hard-hitting song! Definitely not one for the squeamish, Tati goes OFF! It kinda reminds me of the early Jinjer songs like "Ape," "Sit, Stay, Rollover," etc. There are a lot of great songwriters, but I can't think of any better poet in my lifetime than Tati! Excellent reaction, make them as long as you want, they're FUN!!! 💙💛

[@VocalCitizen]

Sorry for butchering your name. I bequeathed you an "R" in your last name... you're welcome. 🙄 Thanks for being patient. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I may be super strange, but YOU people are also strange for not acting strange about my strangeness. 😜

As much as I love Tati and the boys. I still have to go back to an older band called "MergingMoon." Their vocalist can give Tati a run for her money and then some. If you want a good comparison song. Check out "Greyen". They have a live vid on their channel that will blow you away.

[@VocalCitizen]

"Green" is now on my list. You've thrown down the Tati/ MergingMoon gauntlet. Challenge accepted.

[@yolandria]

@@VocalCitizen Mergingmoon's channel btw is MergingMoonTV. And it appears they have resumed playing shows in the Tokyo region after a very long hiatus.

[@VocalCitizen]

most awesome. Thanks

[@penseesdeseb4919]

Thx for the recommandation. Most time when someone say "that girl can "compete" or "is better", ... than Tati, it's not the case. Or the singing is poor, or the growl is not so fat especialy live. But this time, wow. I did not know them so I've not heard enough, but she catched my attention. Her growl is deep and fat, with good high and low (but not so articulate than Tati's one), and the singing is realy good, but for my ears (and with the few I've heard) Tati is moore complete for singing. So I'll listen to more because that's good (the band seems also verry good). So I prefer Tati because I'm a Jinjer fan, but the vocalist of MergingMoon is the first which I think can be compared to my Queen without beeing ridiculous :D . Thx one more time. And that's just music and personnal taste. (sry if my English is not perfect, not native tongue)

[@VocalCitizen]

Love it... Yeah. I'm all in on Jinjer. I haven't been this rocked over a proper band in AGES...
