Jinjer - Pit Of Consciousness (Live In Kiev) REACTION!!

[@j.f.fisher5318]

The guys are super tight and I feel like they do everything identically night after night (though I feel like there may be some changes between the live in Melbourne version of WIGBTO and the official live, but they've recomposed that song at least once already and may have tweaked it more) Tatiana is more of an agent of chaos. She does the growls differently in every show, though the cleans are more consistent. Fortunately, she has very good instincts for what sounds good so she can get away with it. Eugene says she improvised most of the studio recordings on the Macro album. Tatiana's evaluation was less charitable, saying "I wasn't prepared" haha. I don't hear her do things that sound bad, but sometimes she does stuff that was brilliant in just one bootleg or video and it never shows up again in any other recording I've seen. The upgraded stage production for their European tour last year is great, too bad that stuff is presumably now stuck in storage. They used to use backing tracks for the second guitarist on their older stuff, and still for stuff like the vocal harmonies in most bootlegs of Retrospection - though these were not included in the live at. Always happy to share. Dunno if I'd want them to know who I am, I was on what I call "team belies" so if they know who I am they know I was wrong about the lyrics haha.

[@StickDastardly]

Haha! Don't worry. Most people cut my videos off after the reaction, so only a few will catch that mention. So far, nothing but praise, though! And, as always, thanks again for the insightful comment!!

[@stas.d]

Dude love you pointed out this is their hometown. You can feel how's Tatiana is on a little bit different level of mental connection with the crowd.

[@richardnolan4818]

Best band in the 2000’s!

[@diegocosta1607]

Hard to tell that,great bands in 2000's like lamb of god,gojira,slipknot and others,but for me,jinjer is top 3 for sure!

[@StickDastardly]

I agree with Diego. There have been some absolute killer bands in the past 20 years. Jinjer is definitely high on that list, though!

[@suitsme702]

You tell them. Jinjer Army rocks

[@StickDastardly]

Yes y'all do!

[@terrigarrett6630]

Don’t apologize we are here to listen to your reactions. I love it! Do you brother. Jinjer changed my life.

[@richjung9786]

I swear you’re in my head. The first time I heard this particular video I was amazed at just how tight they are as a band. I feel like even if they mute not your style of music or you don’t like the song you can still appreciate just how tight they are as a live band.

[@StickDastardly]

If great minds think alike, I have bad news for you 🤣 Just kidding man. Thanks so much!

[@Iamsmallfry]

Dude, they ARE that tight. I saw them last October in a 5-600 person venue. I was on the back wall and at max, 30 feet from the stage. I’m sooooo glad I didn’t talk myself out of driving the 6 hours to see them. I almost did. I almost convinced myself that I’ll see them next time. Little did I/we know what was coming. I also have tickets for this past May in Kansas. I hope I’ll eventually get to use them. Anyway, during the show, all the audio went out for the last quarter of Perennial. They didn’t even pause. I could see them looking at each other, but they kept going. It was kind of cool hearing them lightly strumming and drumming with no amplification. I could barely hear Tatiana over the drums. They’re fucking troopers.

[@StickDastardly]

That is devout dedication on your end and professionalism on theirs! I love to hear about these kinds of experiences! Thanks for sharing yours. I'll definitely be going to check them out whenever they can finally come back to Atlanta

[@tonyjames9016]

Hell yeah dude! Thank you! Don't listen to people. This is your show. The art YOU want to see and hear. This song and video is the BOMB and one of her best performances ever!

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks so much!!

I've loved all of your Jinjer reactions! You do a great job picking out the little details and influences and it's like rabbitholes inside rabbitholes lol Hope you get a chance to check out Home Back (if you haven't already)!

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks for that!! I'm so glad you enjoy the channel!! You'll be pleased to know that I'm uploading my reaction to Home Back right now!

[@immersion24]

love your response to whomever told u not to react to Jinjer...n great reaction to the video/song

[@StickDastardly]

I'd be a terribly easy mark for reverse psychology. Haha. Thanks so much!

[@jimmorris67]

Nice job great performance becoming my favorite of them

[@MRxMADHATTER]

YAAAASSSS! Glad to see you back. Jinjer FTW. I saw another KZbinr get an extensive interview with Eugene. And his reactions aren't all that special. It would be cool as hell to get an interview with a band member. I think you could come up with some awesome Qs for their As.

[@StickDastardly]

Thank you so much! That's so cool! Maybe, if my following grows enough, I could get a cool interview like that! With Sean Evans setting the bar as high as he does, though, I'll have to make damn sure my questions are on point. Haha

[@FalconFlurry]

I think we all need to pay respects to the venue in this performance, the Bingo Club in Kiev. This venue played a key role in the success of Jinjer, being (I believe) the only venue in Kiev Jinjer could play at. They cut their teeth here, they gained traction with the help of this venue. In 2014 they won the Best Ukrainian Metal Act here. The Bingo Club went out of business this year due to Covid, this is the last show Jinjer ever played there and now they have no venue to play at in their hometown besides small bars and clubs.

[@Module79L]

As someone like me, who plays in an amateur band that always had a hard time finding places to play in this small country, it breaks my heart to see a venue close. : ( We were supposed to start recording our next album in March of this year, in a studio 100kms away from home, and by now we were supposed to be "touring" to promote it. I guess I don't need to tell you why none of that happened and at this point we're not even sure if it'll be worth doing next year because by then many of the venues where we could still play will also be closed.

[@StickDastardly]

Always heart breaking to see a place like that close. Many memories are made, friendships forged and legends born in these places. I really hope we, as a global population, can come together, eradicate this disease and get out there playing and supporting small clubs again very soon!

[@Module79L]

@@StickDastardly - I hear you, man, and I totally agree.

[@erikmorte1010]

YESS! and that was i subscribed to you! by being genuine!!

[@StickDastardly]

Haha! Thanks! I'm used to it getting me into trouble, honestly

[@eqgilethan]

Man, I missed hearing "Hey F*ckers, it's Daz!". Not complaining though, work comes first. I'm just glad you can still find some time to do this. Personally, when I first hear a song, I just want to experience the song and the lyrics come later, BUT as a reactor I understand to make people happy, you don't have that luxury. I'd think just a quick read through of the lyrics before hand would satisfy most. By the way, thanks for doing this one, as PoC is one of my top 3 Jinjer songs.

[@StickDastardly]

Haha! I'm so glad that's catching on! Thank you! One of mine, too! This song really hit me right!

[@darrellroninson3476]

Nice digs Daz I am impressed ..

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks! The outside looks shitty. Lol

[@thetorvic23]

Keep it up sir Daz! No problem for the keeper!

[@StickDastardly]

I should do a Sir David vid soon

[@KristiesLexicon]

Yes on the Meyhem. So funny, when I first started listening it took a min to get used to all the styles and genres. Plus the incredible musicianship in this band! Reminding me of tons of metal bands I love too!

[@rodentcafeteria]

One thing I noticed about their live performances is that they very rarely interact with each other or get in each other's face the way some bands do. You don't see much eye contact or any type of physical cues to each other, yet they don't miss a note. Everyone stays in their own lane and they give you a great performance.

[@StickDastardly]

I hadn't really noticed that until you said something but you're absolutely right! Absolute professionals.

[@granthoule7418]

Ive appreciated all your reactions to Jinjer always look forward to the next. There any Butcher Baby reacts in the future? Id suggest their take on They're Coming To Take Me Away

[@StickDastardly]

Never heard of Butcher Baby! Yes, I'll absolutely check that out! Thanks!!

[@sm3dc]

I was going to see them live, and I was so excited to hear this song and perennial in particular, and then covid happened, so I just rape the replay button until I can see them live again.

[@StickDastardly]

Such a bummer. Same thing happened with me and Faith No More. I was dying to see them again. Maybe sometime next year, though. We can always hope!

[@yubogolfer4040]

Hi Daz, good to hear that you are happy in your new job. It's important to love (or at least to be fine with) that what you do every day to be able to pay your bills. Nice reaction as aleays ! Another recommendation for Jinjer: 'Ape' and afterwards 'The Prophecy' (They're lyricly connected, so the order makes sense) Another live suggestion: Retrospection live in Melbourne And yes, Jeffrey is a walking encyclopedia about Jinjer (and some other bands as well). I really appreciate his comments, too. Cheers !

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks so much! I've already done The Prophecy, since it launched soon after I began my journey. I haven't done it's predecessor yet, though. Also, I think I heard that Jinjer are working on an official video for Retrospection. Not sure how true that is but I'll do my homework.

[@yubogolfer4040]

@@StickDastardly There is an official video ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZmVqoKbl8h4hK8 ) as well as an actual live shot from the Melbourne concert ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZfYmHtqhrNqmac ) of Retrospection. Eugene announced that they will make an OV for every track of Macro, so if there's a song of the album which has no OV yet, it will follow soon.

It seems odd to me that some people want to dictate how you react in Your reaction video 🤣 That performance blows me away man. I enjoy your reactions and opinions, that's why I will keep watching

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks so much! Yeah, it seems like some people come here hoping I'm just like their favorite channel. I'm not. Lol

[@odell4625]

Good to see you back!!! And reacting to my favorite song of theirs at that. Niiice. I got a new band that I'd love for you to check out. they are starting to throw their weight around on the reaction channels and they are probably the breakout metal band of the year. Their vocalist is Tatiana level talented. They are called Tallah and they absolutely spank. L.E.D. No one should read this Overconfidence

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks so much! It's good to finally find some time! Haha! I checked out Tallah on the stream but their one that I feel like I should really revisit! I'll see if I can salvage the reaction from the stream. If not, I'll choose one of the ones you recommended very soon!

[@Module79L]

The only additional tracks they use are intros (Sit Stay Roll Over, Words of Wisdom, I Speak Astronomy or Perennial), some guitar parts that Roman doesn't play live because he's doing something else (I Speak Astronomy or Sit Stay Roll Over), random sounds (the clock in Captain Clock, the arpeggio in Teacher, Teacher!) and some tracks for the vocal harmonies. I don't call them backing tracks because they're not there to replace what the musicians are playing on the stage. : ) Don't apologize for the Mayhem reference, everyone who knows something about Metal in general probably has already thought the same thing when they heard the Black Metal-style riff Roman plays in that part. These guys are all music nerds, they have been "absorbing" all kinds of stuff they find interesting about any musical genre or style all their lifes and make it work in their songs like no one I've ever heard. : ) Like 111!

[@StickDastardly]

Thanks so much! I figured the laptop was probably more for samples and it seems that's the case! You can definitely tell they're of very diverse tastes and they wear it well!
