"You know it's going to be damn awesome... every performance it's a spectacle." This is actually THE performance that started the Eurovision spectacles. Before Lordi won, it was a bunch of people singing and standing still. They brought the whole show with pyros, makeup, rock - and swoop the whole floor with the rest. They got an enormous point total, by far the largest in Eurovision history.

[@afreenalorena2095]

That's BS. Wig wam from Norway opened the door for Lordi years before

[@jusatin]

@@afreenalorena2095 And did every single act after theirs put 100% more effort into the stage show? No. After Lordi won? Yes. They were a rock group, yeah. But that's where the similarities end.

[@afreenalorena2095]

Haha. "Before Lordi won, it was a bunch of people singing and standing still" Thats what you wrote. And what is your definition of every single act? 100% actually. Thats impressive! @@jusatin

[@chiasanzes9770]

@@afreenalorena2095 You are kind of right.

[@chiasanzes9770]

@@jusatin After? Wigwam perform 2005 and Lordi came After them 2006. And WigWam is a glam rock band Lordi a monster rock band. At the least check up the facts.

Athens 2006: Lordi left 3 million Athenians in shock

[@audiomachine312]

So true! I remember that for about a month greek media were talking only about Lordi (or the monsters as they would like to call them). It was iconic!

[@MvdenBYwho]

At least

[@Hups007]

😂

[@robertjamesplays9721]

I went to that eurovusion song contest in greece i was air guitaring in the audience standing for abut 3 hours as well these song contests aint short

[@Songfugel]

Oh man, this still takes me back to that night. So strange to see a local band from my hometown here

[@llokeyy7]

must be super cool, lordi rocks!

[@Songfugel]

​@@llokeyy7 It is :) I personally don't know any of the members, but when I was younger, some of my heavy metal musician friends knew some of them personally, so it was sometimes fun to hear some anecdotes about them around that time. They were also quite heavily embraced by local businesses and the city. Even our central shopping square was renamed after them, we had a Lordi-themed metal pub for a time, and even now, the biggest kebab-meal in town is called The Lordi special kebab, since it was Mr. Lordi's favourite. Also their pictures are still all over the city proper

[@llokeyy7]

@@Songfugel Thats extremely cool, i am quite jealous lol. Here in Greece in 2006 literally everything was about Lordi, or "the monsters" as everyone would call them. They scheduled a concert here last year for the first time since Eurovision, but it was unfortunately cancelled :( I can only hope that I get to see them one day live.

[@ssr-p1n]

I was 6 years old but was watching this at the time! I'm also from their hometown :)

[@hennasimolin9307]

One of the best years ever. My second child was born February 2006, and in May Lordi won Eurovision. What a year! :D

[@ReveriKeenani]

That was the day that Hell freezed over, We used to say that hell would freeze before Finland wins the Eurovision song contest before that.

[@ironfromicey8700]

Btw Finland is the rock/metal country in europe.

[@AugustinUndertakerSdmn38]

And probably the rock/metal country in the world.

[@mennawaris144]

Yes it's a fact - most metal bands in the world: around 53 bands per 100 000 residents.

i agree, but after this lordi performance you guys sending crap, where is metal in eurovision??? that dude this year with green jacket and rap chacha wtf? METAL WE NEED METAL!!

[@yvkon]

No no no no, that is Oh My Lordi, mustn't forget the i at the end!!

[@carinalundstrom7566]

They said they didn't smell very good with this stage outfits, and I really believe that. But it's a damn catchy song

[@ludocrious7898]

Rock n roll means sweat🤘

[@richieb7692]

You have to remember that they were in full costume for around 3 days, during the entire song contest. So they would be a bit whiffy at the end of it.

[@legendaryjimbob7685]

@@richieb7692 Not just hat, but those things aint easy to clean either so either they throw them out after couple of uses and make new ones, or they deal with them being bit smelly and use them more and considering the amount of detail for that time, those things were definetly used bunch of times

[@misiek_xp4886]

I mean monsters would stink, so it is consistent with characeter.

[@chriscross2473]

I had so much fun that ESC.

[@EmoBearRights]

Oh yes - I remember thinking they won't win but I so want them too. And then it was like they're could win as the votes came in. I was so happy when they did it was freaking glorious!

[@Goddybag4Lee]

Mr Lordi does all the masks, clothes, make-up and choreography himself!

[@jonnakatriina]

Best best best! I was 9 years old when Lordi won, and Lordi is still the one who is best remembered among the winners, even though I am a Finnish woman, no one will ever win this💙

[@akrijgsman]

Nothing but respect for this song

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

Great reaction! I was laughing when they counted the votes! None of the people around me expected a metal band to win Eurovision!😂 Btw, did you know that Lordi is opening for Sabaton on their next European tour?! 😉🤘

[@Icenflamesrush]

Really that’s dope. I remember when I was a kid and watched this with my parents, I always was the odd one who liked rock and metal while everyone else liked rap and pop. I credit Lordi for guiding me down the right track.

[@mrborgeusborg1541]

I know I'm 1 year late to comment, but that is such a great end of a circle. In September 2006 I was at a Lordi concert in Gothenburg, Sweden. Opening act. Sabaton!

[@miiaahlqvist3962]

15 years later, seen this Eurovision performance multiple times and a FIRST time that I see the man in the black cape standing at the right side of the stage! 🤯😱😱🤯

[@tuproc61]

At first a big shock that this song won it was so different from what we were used from winning songs, now after so many years i like it a lot. It was the only time Finland won. In Finland people love this kind of music, for instance Floor with Nightwish. In the Netherlands this kind of music is less appreciated i think.

[@LeafHuntress]

During the 2021 semi-finale the public, mostly Dutch people, were literally screaming for Finland to go through to the finals. Floor Janssen used to play with After Forever, before Nightwish. Ayreon is unique. The Gathering was probably one of the first bands that made metal with a female singer. And of course Within Temptation. Yeah, NL is known for EDM etc. but i do think there are some pretty decent (symphonic/gothic) metal bands. Another fun thing; people from Finland & the Netherlands are probably the only ones to really be crazy for dropjes. ;-)

[@alexdoorn234]

@@LeafHuntress don't forget Delain and Epica. And a what lesser known Dutch band Blackbriar. There's really good metal from my country it's a shame they're not better known.

[@MartinIrma]

One Dutch newspaper called them conveniently Klingons. Not a really correct comparison, but still...

[@knuffeldiertje]

I like this song a lot! And untill this year they havent done performing for years, untill Rotterdam Eurovision. Because they said that "Holland"(The Netherlands) is the number 1 to perform with the audience. Really thankfull that they have said and done that🙏

[@ludocrious7898]

Um.. You must be talking about eurovision cause... or else you're heavily misguided about Lordi xD

[@fani_777]

I was there!!!!Fabulous

[@mazibean]

in 2003 my mom's friend who got me into Ramstine a year earlier .. got me hooked on Lordi, they blew me away when they won in 2006

[@riikkapitkanen3666]

As a Finn, at that time living in Stockholm, Sweden, followed my countrymen's Eurovision path in Athens, Greece. They stank! Yes, they admitted it themselves: 2-3 hours of make-up and costumes everyday, +32 celsius degrees... But no meltdown, just a win!❤

[@EgholmViking]

I remember watching the eurovision like so many times before when this came on. Such an eye opener for a 15 year old! Made my mom vote for them since i couldnt myself

[@areszora]

And they WON!!!!

[@HighlyCombustibleReacts]

Yes, that's what it says in the title 😁

Thank you.

3 years late, but the keyboardist on this video is my dad's little cousin!

You need to check out more Lordi, they have so many great songs. Blood Red Sandman, Would You Love A Monsterman?, Devil Is A Loser just to mention a few. Btw. Lordi is going to release 7 new studioalbums on the same day later this year. Never been done before, it's going to be epic.

[@ludocrious7898]

Nobody does it like LORDI 💀💀💀💥💥💥🔥🔥💀💀

[@nlrenzo9432]

6:15 : The main singer used to be a makeup artist so he made all the suits himself.

[@naukkarais]

i remember from a documentary that Lordi needs about 3 hours for his face makeup others have masks on

[@dimitrisnikoloulis4071]

Heavy metal rules and in Eurovision too! Lordi ... The most legit band of Finland in eurovision! They deserved the 1 st place in 2006 ! Greetings from a Greek fan of Lordi and Nightwish ! Kita ( Sampsa Astala ) in the drums , Mr . Lordi in front vocals , Amen in guitars and little support vocals , Awa in keyboards and back vocals ( Leena Peisa ) and OX in bass guitar and vocals ( Samer Elnahhal ) rocked down Athens that night !

[@Morhgoz]

In city of Rovaniemi, there is market square named after Lordi, the hometown hero, but better, there is also grill you can buy Lordi Kebab with chips or rice and that Kebab is worth of feast of the Damned....

[@Hienohomma2]

Tomi made it all, The singer: costumes, music, all

[@pszczolka80]

A little context to this one: before this, Finland did not have a great history with the contest. They'd placed last a lot and ended up with zero points several times, which is pretty bad. The voting countries allocate 1-7 points and then 8, 10 and 12 points to their top three and there's a thing called "bloc voting" where neighbouring countries tend to vote for each other, so a country can usually at least pick up a few pity points from that. So ending up with zero really means you sucked. And Finland did it a few times. Then, out of nowhere, they enter this insane hard rock act that was nothing like the usual stuff and ended up with a record-breaking win. It was glorious.

[@LothianTam]

Ah boyo, most folk cannae manage the lyrics, they just get absorbed by the costumes and then they get stolen away, but you m'lad, actually gave it a proper liste, at'a reaction!
