Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session) REACTION // Aussie Rock Bass Player Reacts

[@Coyotecyb]

There will come a day where i get tired of watching people find Jinjer for the first time - today is not that day.

[@hwafans]

Coyotecyb totally agree!

[@zleggitt1989]

It's getting old right now only due to the flood of fake reactions. You can tell half of the ones within the last few months have been douches trying to boost numbers

[@BustinBenny]

I don't know if I'll watch KZbin anymore if people stop reacting to Jinjer.

[@enlightendbel]

I love it even more when they go beyond Pisces and fall in love. Pisces is an amuse bouche. Songs like Teacher, Teacher are a 5 course meal.

[@enlightendbel]

Also, cudos to Josh for not spazing with "that girl is possessed" and "that can't be her voice" kneejerks the second she goes loud.

[@angelamiller2577]

I'm a simple girl; I see someone reacting to Jinjer, I watch.

[@angelamiller2577]

Haha, she hit the gutteral scream and he didn't even flinch! Most people look blown the fuck away. Lol

[@alexg7946]

Greetings from Ukraine! Thanks a lot for your reaction.

[@darknessmoto9912]

A reactors that understands music. Can’t wait to watch every Jinjer reaction you do and explore you channel. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Roguenjosh]

Thanks so much Moto!

[@iwrestledabear1s]

I love it when musicians react to this. People always request this to see the "omg face" at the first transition. Which is kind of ridiculous to me... because most metalheads and metal/rock musicians can see that shit coming from a mile away. But hardly anyone talks about how tight, technical and proficient the band actually are. Occasionally someone will mention the drummer but nobody EVER talks about the bassist. Such a fuckin' shame.

[@jefffiore7869]

Glad you noticed, the whole band is amazing!

[@redjohn354]

Great reaction dude. Good to see that you recognize the quality of the band too. Most of the time people are blown away by Tatiana and her voice but all of the bandmembers are awesome musicians. Eugene is a beast on the bass guitar. Check out their song "Teacher,Teacher" ! You're gonna love it! Greez from a german bass guitar player🤟

[@Roguenjosh]

Thanks so much Johnny Reds!

[@davidkrebs573]

Another fantastic song is Beggar’s Dance.

[@dougarnold7955]

Thanks. Jinjer is great stuff. I appreciate you for giving it a try. I love this band. They definitely deserve the attention.

[@hugh_jasso]

Tatiana, lead singer is freaking Aaawesooome! Glad you mentioned the flawless drumming, he lite those hats aflame.

[@patrickbole6571]

I think you would really enjoy the bass play throughs done by their bassist Eugene. They’re really fun and super groovy.

[@cowboy41231]

I’m a drummer and it’s nice to see another MUSiCians reaction! There’s so many toolbags on KZbin jumping on the reaction bandwagon whom all they do is react to the looks of Tatiana and her vocals! There’s not one weak member in this band, they are just as amazing live. And they are the most humble “coolest” people that are just grinding and jamming...... they are so tight that I’m finding it hard to like other bands !

[@mackenziemiller7633]

Keep checking more Jinjer out. They have incredible variety!

[@pwdt4r313]

The world is a crazy place so let's spill on my mac. Hehehe. Awesome reaction video

[@TheDangerbreed]

I love your reactions to Jinjer. I cringe when I see reactions when they just talk about Tatiana, and nothing else. Eugene is a beast. He's my inspiration

[@davidforrester3147]

I never get tired of listening to new reactions for this band

[@NolanVoid]

Eugene's bass playing is just immaculate, gotta love his technique,

[@kourgath007]

I find it amazing that so many of these "reaction videos" have never seen or heard of this song.

[@retoddedfields]

Welcome to your new favorite band.

[@hughmcbean279]

Seen loads of reaction vids of this over that last year or so and so glad this is one that appreciates how good they are instead of how shocked they are of her vocals .

[@MrThedwp]

Dead set out of the hundreds of reactions I've watched to this song you had the most almost blase reaction to her voice change as normally people freak the fuck out at that point but you just talked about how cool and technical it all was. And in fact you barely even mentioned the voice change which is a pleasant surprise for this song so well done for being different

[@paulcallaway71]

Love the Beartooth t-shirt...great band!!

[@maaronsmith]

Just subscribed. Definitely check out their songs Teacher Teacher, Perennial (live at Wacken), Retrospection, Judgement and Punishment and Pit of Consciousness!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

My only caveat is, that as great as the studio video of Pit Of Consciousness is, the Live in Kiev video has better growls. They did 152 shows the year they recorded the Macro album so time for recording was tight and Tatiana mostly improvised her vocals on that album. They are still great because she is an inhuman vocal genius, but she had time to practice Pit Of Consciousness on the road before filming the Kiev version and her growls in that are savage - the most brutal growls on anything they've released IMO (Who Is Gonna Be The One is also more brutal on stage now than in the official live because her technique is always growing). Along with Perennial though, POC is one that you could legitimately do reactions to both versions.

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

in my opionion you forgot "i speak astronomy". i am not an expert when it comes to music, but to me that one sounds very teqnical too.

[@corinbarnard128]

Teacher Teacher!

[@Vipppala]

Jinjer - Who Is Gonna Be The One (live) Infected Rain - Black Gold Unleash The Archers - Tonight We Ride

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Lena from IR is another great female singer and growler.

[@19FlyingWombat76]

"Infected Rain - Lure" would be my choice.....

[@TheMonkeyBytes]

Agree with Who Is Gonna Be The One (Live) as the next react!

[@tattooedman42]

Love Infected Rain. Also Once Human and Straight Line Stitch.

[@gaznmaggie]

Teacher Teacher or I speak astronomy next. Great vocal range in them. Welcome to Jinjer

[@akio2589]

THANK YOU! Thank you for appreciating the bass line and unique time signatures in this song. The song is beautiful and has so many unique elements. As a bassist, this makes me happy.

[@ryanjackson4759]

That's awesome he went straight to Incubus, they are huge fans of Incubus!

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

Maybe one of the best reactions yet. Very well done, Josh.

[@bloodblitzowns11]

perennial live at wacken and teacher teacher music video! Glad you enjoyed them. One of my favorites.

[@banier2012]

PLs "Perennial" live in Wacken. "Teacher,teacher", "Retrospection"

[@frankhermansen7669]

Yeah, Perennial live in Wacken is awsome🤘

[@ExUSSailor]

Watching people react to Jinjer never gets old!

[@ExUSSailor]

... and, this is one of their less technical, less complex songs.

[@RealRavenija]

Love the quality of your video and your analysis and also the appreciation for everyone in the band! Take the sub!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Fun reaction. Subbed on one of your Spiritbox videos. They are extremely experienced on the road and bring it in concert, so you'll get lots of requests for concert performance videos. This one is only "live-ish" unfortunately (layered vocals, cutting together different parts, etc), but is still really good and is the place most people, or at least most reaction channels start their Jinjer journey. For people who aren't familiar with great female vocalists who can both sing and growl, the shock factor of that vocal ambush on the first chorus is epic. You'll mostly get requests for studio videos for these guys when there isn't a top-quality concert video available, mostly for their older and newer songs. Napalm does a great job with pro-shot concert video, and Tatiana in particular is an amazing performer as well as vocalist and lyricist. I'd suggest Perennial at Wacken as a next stop to see a well-balanced performance showcasing all their skills that actually is live, or Who Is Gonna Be The One official live for a banging protest song with the focus on growling vocals (you haven't heard everything she can do with her growls :D ) but some cool cleans too. Teacher Teacher is the first official video with studio sound I'd suggest. Perennial official is great too, but if you're only going to do one version of Perennial, do the Wacken performance. Cheers!

[@sauletto1]

You are the "only" reaction video that was focused on the musicianship of each member , and not just tripping out over her vocals (which are incredible ). Your appreciation of their individual skills, showed by the"real" smile that was stuck on your face. Only a musician does that. Respect, brother ! ( and a new subscriber )

[@Roguenjosh]

Thanks so much Steve!!

[@jamestreanor4361]

You will love it.

[@ericburch2531]

Teacher teacher and retrospection a must!

[@tifosinh]

Oh yeah, as a musician, especially as a bassist, you're gonna love this band. Eugene is so badass.

[@tonipowell632]

Love your comments about the bassist..they just don't get enough acknowledgement in bands

[@Arcticun]

I was one of the faceless crowd saying to check out Jinjer on one of your Spiritbox vids. Quickly becoming one of my favourite bands from their sheer technical prowess when writing and playing songs that's also backed up by an absolutely incredible vocalist. Just overall a joy to listen to every one of their songs. Teacher, Teacher and Retrospection are two BANGERS aswell.

[@Roguenjosh]

I appreciate you

[@Arcticun]

@@Roguenjosh Aw thanks cutie, making me blush over here.

[@simonevans2544]

This is still one of my favourite albums. There is so much to take in from one song to the next. Unfortunately I could buy a digital copy but one-day I hope to find a hard copy in Australia that I can buy.

[@nz540im3]

This whole band is so fucking sick. Like you said, all so technically brilliant.

[@petermanda8314]

You should check out I speak astronomy among others already suggested songs. It has perfect mixture of harsh, clean and very high clean vocals. It is also incredibly technical song from the musical standpoint. Pisces is great as introduction to Jinjer but it falls short against other song by them (Who is gonna be the one (live), Teacher Teacher, Perennial (live at Wacken), Retrospection.....)

[@danninielsen8876]

Now you´ve done it :D Welcome to Jinjer. You´re in for a treat :) This is far from their best song, and this is awesome. Next you should check out "Teacher, teacher" "Perennial Live from Wacken 2019" and "Who is gonna be the one Live" Consider "Outlander" aswell :)

[@Roguenjosh]

Yeah people keep saying teacher teacher! Ok I’m doin that one soon!

[@danninielsen8876]

@@Roguenjosh Awesome thanx :)

[@Ionatan667]

In addition to what's already been suggested, "Cloud Factory," "Bad Water" (both live from the same show), "Just Another," "A Plus or a Minus," and "My Lost Chance" are also worth checking out.

[@monarch-black]

I really like musician reactions to music. As a bass player, you should definitely check out more Jinjer. Eugene is a fantastic bassist. I put him right up there with the stars we all know. I love when a bass can drive the melody.

[@stevenestevez8288]

Dude awesome reaction! Great video! You should definitely check out Perrenial live at Wacken 2019. Just so you can see how amazing they are on a stage in front of a live audience. Teacher, Teacher!, Pit of Consciousness, On The Top (Live at Kiev) are also amazing songs to listen to as well! Keep up the awesome content!

[@Dee-ih2yf]

Nice analysis! Please react to Jinjer "Pit of Consciousness" (live in Kiev). Also, a technical power rock band worth reacting to is Unleash the Archers. Song is "Awakening".

[@EmAllWasTaken]

Subbed two minutes into this song. Definitely a channel worth following. Hoping we get to watch your journey into the depths of Jinjer.

[@memyself3510]

Bonus points for the Beartooth shirt!

[@KatKicker06]

Thanks for showing me Oceans ate Alaska.

[@Fez135]

As a fellow bassman I'd recommend checking out TesseracT. They've just released a live in lockdown video where the band were all over the place and still produced an incredible performance. Amos (the bassist) is one of the best bassists in my opinion. He's not the fastest or the showiest but he writes bass lines that fit the song perfectly and fill the space so well without you even really knowing. Incredible!

[@rikmoore3554]

You gotta do jinjer-teacher teacher!

[@decil-azure4223]

Just found you cause of this, but seriously, Tatiana, Vlad and the others are awesome. Kinda of a right of passage on youtube for reactors to react to them eventually when treading through the metal genre.

[@matthewconner5545]

The rules are simple. You gave love to the bassist, so I give you a like.

[@Roguenjosh]

You’re a good sort, Matthew

[@TheOicyu812]

I'm glad to find out I'm not the only person to get an Incubus vibe in the first two and a half minutes of the song. Kind of reminds me of the Incubus song "Dig".

[@RalphCahill]

You are in for a treat. As good as this is, it isn't even close to their best song. And you think this was technical? Wait for it. Just wait for it. Welcome to Jinjer. I'll just add my list to everyone else's. Who is Gonna Be The One (Live) Perennial Live at Wacken 2019 (there is an official video but other than some cool imagery, the live performance is so good you don't gain too much) I Speak Astronomy (Official Video) Just Another (Official Video) Teacher, Teacher (Official Video) On The Top (both Official Video and Live in Kiev) Scissors (Official Video) Captain Clock (Live and Official Video) Words of Wisdom (Official Video) Judgement and Punishment (Official Video and they just released a live performance as well) Bad Water (Official Video) Outlander (Official Video) Retrospection (Official Video) Sit, Stay, Rollover (Official Video) Ape (Official Video) Cloud Factory (Official Video and Live) And generally everything else you can find because it's all gold. Some of their official videos look like "live" performances but not all of their videos are heavily produced but are rather just the album track overlayed over some live footage synced up with the action and lips moving as much as possible.

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Hey, my fave curry - with premium Aussie lamb of course. Jinjer graced Australia with their presence in early March when I saw them - To this day and forever more, I declare I am not worthy.

[@eelcobiemond4012]

You missed them by a month. They were touring in Australia early March. Albums don't do justice how freaking good they are on stage.

[@gregoriikatastrov7472]

Actually, they never wanted this song to be popular as "It cancels the idea of being Pisces. We are not the type of people who are popular" - Tatiana in the interview for Loudwire.

[@food223]

i am no musician so its interesting to see these reactions but as a music listener who knows nothing about the music the drummer really stands out to me here(usually i focus on the guitars), obviously the vocals are amazing though

[@jaredmulconry]

Following this track, Teacher Teacher from their recent EP is a good next step, especially if you're looking for smooth bass parts. For something a bit different, the album version of I Speak Astronomy from the same album as Pieces has some rather beautiful arrangement. For true live material, Perennial is beautiful. Who's gonna be the one is huge and heavy hitting. Their latest album, Macro, has a fair amount of prog to it, so you can't really go wrong with any songs on there. Enjoy!

[@aceofbass131]

Fellow bassist here, keep these reactions coming, itll be so nice to hear your perspective (I assume close to mine) on some of their stuff. Eugene has been a recent influence to me, coming from Ryan Martinie, Nolly, and Amos Williams background

[@Roguenjosh]

Dude mudvayne for life!

[@rackin5837]

I would say Perennial live, and Scisors

[@Gregorycrafter]

Another band you should check out is Vintersea. They are pretty similar to Jinjer and Spiritbox. I suggest the song "Befallen"

[@Roguenjosh]

Nice I like the name!

[@Consider00]

Before Jinjer Pisces came out, I spent all my time looking for videos of children finding out Santa Claus wasn't real for the first time.

[@scruffygremlin]

Love your technical read of the song. Most reactions just focus on her voice change.

[@henryruizph.d7161]

Hearing Opeth written all over this band…I like his reaction…He covered the whole bands talent…He realizes it takes more than vocals to make up a good band…As a drummer I appreciate it…

[@Roguenjosh]

I appreciate you

[@AvaNightingale]

From somebody who had an ex who was an Opeth head and kinda put me off... As someone who's a huge Jinjer fan, do you have any recommendations for someone who's trying to learn to like Opeth but isn't a technical heavy person. I like raw, honest work, don't care if it's complex or not but usually the hard hitting stuff is deceptively hard to play well even when it's simple. My philosophy has more to do with emotional communication, which is what music seems to be for, anything you think does the job? Albums or individual songs?

[@henryruizph.d7161]

@@AvaNightingale Theirs one Metalcore band, I like better than Jinjer , SPIRITBOX…They exemplify the essential musical characteristics I find aesthetically pleasing to my ear…They have a very unique sound & top shelf musicians…I’m more into the newer music…The 70s are gone…It’s the dawning of a new age in Metal…Check them out if you haven’t already…I did follow Opeth till Blackwater Park & lost interest…I have a penchant for Female Metal vocalists, so my listening time is spent on those bands…

[@NobleCactus78]

I saw them in Brisbane and they were just incredible. This video is a touch overproduced but if you want to see a great 30 min live set then search Jinjer Madrid Live.

[@RoryD87]

I highly recommend Thank You Scientist (try FXMLDR) and Opeth (try the song Harlequin forest) very good progressive bands.

[@parnmonkuma5461]

Yes! Morrre

[@ВиталийАвраменко-ь2г]

Hi 👋 welcome in Jinjer-Galaxy) “On the top” very cool song...

[@Astravall]

If you want live i recommend Perrenial - Live at Wacken. I really like Teacher Teacher and Outlander too.

[@azhunter8636]

If you want some technical drums, checkout white walls by between the buried and me.

[@thqp]

check out pit of conciousness by jinjer!

[@JimboKM]

Perennial (Live at Wacken) will show you that they are the real deal.

[@uncle_thulhu]

Lol. 2 years later, and it's at 70 million views.

[@marinedude_06]

Have you heard of Insomnium? Their a melodic death metal band from Finland. Their amazing. I would recommend While We Leep as a first. Their newest Heart Like A Grave is amazing as well. I also like Lose To Night. God they just have too many amazing songs, Shadows Of The Dying Sun as well.

[@Orimthekeyacolite]

With all the overexaggerated reactions built purely on the shock factor, it's a nice change to see someone who's chill, technical and straight to the point about it

[@Roguenjosh]

Thanks Orion! A big deal for me when I started this channel was to never overreact, it always bothered me to see people do it

[@criwall]

Interesting from a musicians perspective. Another band you might like from a technical perspective is Unleash the Archers (apologies if you already done them) try "Awakening - full band playthrough"

[@BenZoet]

I understand that people don't differentiate between rim-=clicks and rim-shots. These are rim-clicks. A rim-shot is when you hit the head and the rim simultaneously. A rim-click is when you lean your stick on the head and hit the rim.

[@Zitronenparty]

If you like technical and "music for musicians" try Opeth - Reveries/Harlequin Forest!

[@jamestreanor4361]

Unleash The Archers-"Awakening"

[@Iamsmallfry]

Just subbed. If the counter is correct, I’m your 1000th subscriber. I don’t know if anyone below mentioned it, but I read or watched an interview with Tatiana and Eugene (bassist) where one of them said they didn’t like that this was the song that hit. I’ll comment below this if I find it.

[@Roguenjosh]

Thank you so much for being my 1000th!!!!!! LEGEND

[@Iamsmallfry]

On whether "Pisces" was the song that broke JINJER into the mainstream: Tatiana: "Unfortunately, 'Pisces' lost its charm. It became viral, which I don't like. I don't like the huge hype that we're having right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this. This song is very personal and believe me, Pisces are not those people who are begging for our attention. I don't like this word, 'mainstream.' The people made it mainstream; we didn't. We didn't really want it to be like this. But nevertheless, on the other hand, it's really good. It's really good that this song is so much appreciated." www.blabbermouth.net/news/jinjers-tatiana-shmailyuk-i-dont-like-the-huge-hype-were-having-right-now/

Here's another rabbit-hole for you: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score in Wacken 2013. Official Live video has lyrics in the subtitles.

[@keller4276]

Check who is gonna be one its pretty good song

[@RyanCogar]

If you're unaware of of them i'd highly recommend Tesseract for cool proggy stuff with some awesome bass work. I'd say "Eclipse" is a great track for the funk fever but you can't really go wrong with much of their material.

[@omegawolfd]

I think he likes the Bass guys haha

[@uncle_thulhu]

I see this song as entry-level Jinjer. Now, don't get me wrong, it's the first song as I heard and it's still in my top 5, but it's about the most stripped-down, simple, basic song they have. Shows off everyone's talents, especially Tatiana (ironic, as the video was actually made to show off their new drummer), but it barely skims the surface.

[@TaerTech]

You should really check out Saving Vice! They’re a relatively new band but they are really good.

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

Damn, Roguenjosh ... man... everybody came in to see another Reacting KZbinr dramatically changing face expression to disbelief and that little bit of terror when Tatiana switches to "the other one of the Pisces" and you disappoint'em all, me included I must admit, with that unchanged mental status like you already heard, no doubt, other female singers screaming like that... and if I may name just one I would go for Otep Shamaya from her band OTEP! Well, aside that "detail", not really a "little" one actually, let's just say it... I appreciated the way you underlined the qualities of this amazing band and their talented musicianship. I'm definitely curious to watch more of your reactions. If i may ask ask you a favour saying "please react to OTEP"... I keep on asking for that to all the Reactions channels on KZbin and still nobody dared to react to them.... in this case I dare even asking what always seems too much asking to a "first listener" but I'm sure you can handle it. Nobody seems to react to OTEP so.... why not being one of the first to actually do so? Usually I recommend a few official "lyrics videos" from their most recent album, KULT 45... but... this time I say... just go to their 1st great album, "Sevas Tra". Please!!!! Thanks in advance and huge hug to Australia, hoping the "fire disaster" can be forgotten soon and the amazing nature of that land I love take human stupidity over again. Cheers man!
