Nice to know I'm not the only one that believes Jinjer is the BEST Metal Band in the WORLD!

[@erased84]

💯💯💯💯

[@V.Zakomirnyi]

Yes, these Ukrainians are amazing! They are unsurpassed!

[@dell6988]

I had a conversation recently with another huge Jinjer fan such as myself about the fact that other than my daughter, there’s nothing in this world that could make me weep or even cry, except Jinjer. They elicit an emotion in me that is just indescribable. From goose bump chills to outright tearing up,,, almost daily for 6+ years now. These 4 human beings are a HUGE part of my life and always will be. Rock on Brother and keep up the great work! 🤘🏼

[@Jinjer13]

after a long time Jinjer has uploaded a brand new video today: “JINJER - Someone’s Daughter (Official Video) | Napalm Records” maybe you’re interested ;-) warm greetings from a German musician

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

Jinjer truly are their own genre at this point, absolutely one of a kind band!

[@jabberwokee4127]

"BEST METAL BAND IN THE WORLD!" I second that my friend! Great to see Jinjer on your channel again. 🤘🍻

[@DaveDaHunt3R]

Discovered Jinjer thanks to Pisces video , when it had still like 45k views, they didn't tour all over the world still. i'm so glad they recieved and still recieving the fame they deserve! Love Tati and the guys are PHENOMENAL!

[@AlfredSoul]

I have heard all their music, over and over, seen them live and still, whenever I come back to songs I haven't heard in a while, I'm wowed every time. Seriously incredible.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

This is one of my favourite Jinjer tracks, this live performance is just so good, people seem to prefer "Pit of Consciousness" from this same gig, but for me this shows their abilities to the full, I love it, John. I agree with you, I think that Jinjer is probably the best band possibly ever.

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

The band just shines during live performances.

[@Angelriva]

Hey John, what a nice surprise to see you get back to Jinjer!! Your songs analysis is by far the most accurate, technical and fair ever. Therefore I appreciate your reactions so much. Thanks!!

[@sidstewart7399]

Great shout about new bands and short shelf life. I found these a few years and it never gets tiring coming back to them.

[@morellos_chris]

It's so good watching you getting back to Jinjer. It's my favorite band and your analysis and reaction is always top tier! I discover new things about the songs watching you that I've never noticed before. I suggest you hear the song "Pausing Death" by Jinjer off of Macro. I'm 100% sure you'll love it!!

[@ericpeterson7512]

Great suggestion! I feel like Pausing Death is the hidden gem on that album. All the other songs clamor for your attention. But once I really dove into Pausing Death, it became almost my favorite song. The riff is sick. I LOVE when she growls "But this time backwarrrds!" That growled R is like my favorite sound she makes lol

[@morellos_chris]

@@ericpeterson7512 100% Eric! 🤘

[@isnobodyreally102]

glad your back on the jinjer

[@dannymars]

New album dropping this year! Can’t wait!

[@ericpeterson7512]

Fingers crossed. Tatiana just posted a little short video of herself writing in a lyric book. Eugene just went for his 5th bass recording session. I'm doing my best to stay patient!

[@gost]

I like a lot of different styles including classic music. But Jinjer is really the best in metal. It's complex, vivid and unique in many aspects.

[@olehhryshchuk4189]

It's always a great feeling, when it comes to a notification about your new Jinjer reaction. Thank you for your effort

[@notimportant3686]

you're right... they ARE the best metal band in the world... i haven't had a "new" favorite band since like korn/deftones/soad days

[@danielvcpdfp]

Simply amazing buddy!!!! Unbelievable

[@chazzbass]

totally agree with you about them being the best metal band in the world, Ive seen them 4 times and i wish they would come to my area more, my dream is to see them in a smaller venue and more intimate environment, sadly I Haven't really like most of the bands they have toured with.

[@danielbeck9310]

Just saw them last month in Milwaukee, for my third time seeing them. Just flawless every single time.

[@ericpeterson7512]

@@danielbeck9310Hey bro how it be! Yep Milwaukee was epic. Daniel and I were riding the rail, and I've done that (or close) every time I've seen Jinjer. I think the key is to look for the smaller venue headlining shows in between the shows opening for big bands in arenas. Milwaukee was also my third (in a year and a half) and all three have been like that. They seem very often to book parallel tours, both opening and headlining. One tour at a time isn't enough for them! You might have to travel a ways to see a headlining show. It's so worth it. I flew to Milwaukee from Alabama. I drove four hours to my first show in Atlanta. But I'll never forget those concerts. Some of the best shows I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. Priceless!

[@ballaholla2811]

So glad to see more jinjer reactions from you. By far one of my favorite youtubers who has reacted to them. Hell yes

[@Hollyucinogen]

Tatiana is at the top of her game. I've never heard another singer do what she can do. I've only heard one come close (Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage). She's probably the best frontwoman in metal right now. And she's completely self-taught. 🤟

[@ericpeterson7512]

I'm back watching this one again because it's just so damn good! It's no wonder you get the band's seal of approval. Jay-Dub you are one of my favorite content creators on KZbin! Love your original compositions. Beautiful stuff!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Thank you very much, Eric! Your compliments are very flattering. I appreciate it :)

[@b0777]

I was on to Jinjer for 2 years before I clicked on your first reaction to them. Most reactions before yours were generally the same, good to awed reactions. It was you and how you got into the technical side of Vlad, Eugene, and Roman. You helped me understand polyrhythms and dissidence. With that understanding, I began to enjoy this band even more. Thank you. Your reaction to this song had me smiling from the beginning. I believe that this may be a generational band that is just coming into their own.

[@jackmckee8196]

I'm so happy others get how special Jinjer is; I'm stunned they don't overtake the world...until I remember what's popular these days.

[@petervandespanden1965]

I'm with you al the way jinjer never bores. I am not a musician and I don,t know anything about making music but you are right at the age of 57 there has never been a band that I could listen to for more than a certain time before you get to know what they are about. And even with a new album you would listen and you would feel yeah that's them all the way. With jinjer even in the old songs I keep discovering things that had not heard before. They are the best band in the world.

[@hemlock399]

Ahhh, nice to have you back to Jinjer! I missed you! I was hoping to be able to give you exciting news of a release date for Jinjer's next studio album. Unfortunately, about a month ago, Tatiana gave an interview in which she said that she can't find the inspiration to write. By contrast, last summer, the band said that they already had about 80% of the music written. So, maybe Tatiana will be breaking out her uzis again. :)) On the bright side, they did release a live album last week.

[@danielbeck9310]

She had a post on her Instagram a couple weeks ago, that hinted she's working on lyrics again. At least that's the way I took it.

[@hemlock399]

@@danielbeck9310 I hope so!

[@ericpeterson7512]

@@danielbeck9310yep it showed a lyric book and Tatiana's beautifully nailed hand picking up a pen to write. It said something about "feeling inspired." It's coming! I think Milwaukee broke her writer's block! I saw her smiling more than I'm used to.

[@coder4liberty]

This is one of those that the studio versions sounds great but live it just has something more. This one especially shows the precision with which the band plays together. I dreamed about being in a band like that. Just totally locked in. I had those moments during my music career from one time to another but Jinjer seems to be that band that way more often than not is one unit.

[@ericpeterson7512]

A well-oiled machine. I know they're human, I have heard them make microscopic mistakes. I think. But they're so fleeting you almost think you're imagining it, and they just rock right on. It's almost reassuring, it affirms that they're not robots. The micro mistakes give the live performances flavor, let you know you're not just listening to the studio album. What an extraordinary band!

[@badm0t0rf1nger]

John checking out Jinjer is very satisfying. :)

[@danielbeck9310]

There's just something about Jinjer. I dont know what it is. I mean, I know they're ridiculously talented. But, I listen to this band literally just about every day, and I just cant get tired of them. There has never been any other band, no matter how much I love them, that I can say that about. The closest I can say is 80's Metallica, but even that I eventually got tired of. I think it's just a combination of the quality, uniqueness andt diversity of their music. It's so good, but also so different from song to song, it always keeps me engaged.

[@ericpeterson7512]

For me it was Rush. I saw them 36x and could never get enough. One tour I saw eight shows (with Primus opening most). To me, Jinjer lives up to the standard of Rush, and that's something no other band can say.

[@illfate757]

I can't wait for something new from them, fiending!!! Also wanna see them in concert again was so awesome!

[@ericpeterson7512]

Yeah I'm jonesing too. Man that Milwaukee show was great though! And the new live album is giving me just the bump I need to make it to the next big hit lol

[@srt8turboawdjeep146]

Agree

[@Golf77768]

It`s true! They are the best!!!

[@tomislavkosanovic1104]

Awesome performance from them, the mix and the production is oh so good in this one. Better than studio version. Shame Napalm didn't release the full concert. Oh and welcome back, good to see you again. :)

[@rodneyramirez603]

I absolutely hear the same multi toned sound you do, I can hear three different ones: the growl, a breathy tone and a clearer talk sounding tone…cool huh? 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@leviathan3630]

Shockingly enough, there's still a couple great songs by Jinjer that you haven't heard. Pausing Death of off their album Macro is a personal favorite, chaotic af but beautiful.

[@martyfrancis1011]

I 1000% agree with your outlandish statement!!!!!!!!!

[@spiknaaj]

So good to see you with Jinjer again, even though this is from a couple years ago. I’m sure you’re aware of the new live in LA album, and if you haven’t already seen the 3 vids released from it so far, I highly doubt people wouldn’t want to see you watching them on here with us for the first time. It’s fucking flawless and oh so powerful. Just incredible. 🤘🏻🩶

[@ericpeterson7512]

It is seriously flawless. Especially Home Back and Call Me a Symbol. I'd love to see a back-to-back Home Back reaction. I can't recall if John has already done Home Back. Maybe contrast it with the Live At Home Hellfest performance. It's uncanny how solidly they perform those songs. It's like the album but with more energy.

[@wjl2601]

Having Jinjeritis again.

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

Hey man it's jinjer time and you know that I'm here 😂

[@frankh9600]

I even wonder if they are just the best metal band. I often have Zappa vibes listening to them. This is beyond metal, even beyond prog.

[@antaltenbroeke]

Hear, hear!!!

[@Gersonjprog]

Hace tiempo no veía una de tus reacciones, y como me gustan! veo reacciones de "daily doug" que también son muy buenas, siento que te fijas en lo mismo que yo en las composiciones.. en fin, excelente video!

[@cat-o-matic]

Jinjer. Metal. Go.

[@perennial72]

I agree, sir. They are the best metal band in the world nowadays. By far. I saw them live 3 times. And I'm waiting for the fourth. Thank you and greetings from Italy

[@tyef572]

You're not wrong bro. Best in the world

[@jennymercurio8367]

I totally agree with you when you said that with other bands there’s a short shelf life/ honeymoon phase. But not with Jinjer! I can’t stop listening to them and still haven’t gotten sick of them. And with some bands all the songs sound the same. Also not with Jinjer lol I hope you do more Jinjer reactions I love them! You should try some of the old songs like Exposed as a Liar and Scissors! I’m curious to see if you’ll like the older stuff

[@DaveRyan-oy8ig]

Hi John. Just so you know, jinjer is supporting sepultura in november i think in Dublin. Still in the fence about going TBH as not into sepultura and would rather see jinjer as the headliner.

[@DaveRyan-oy8ig]

Just checked, they are playing Belfast as well

[@DaveRyan-oy8ig]

Sorry. Just checked, Dublin is sold out. Should have checked that before commenting LOL

[@ericpeterson7512]

I understand the Sepultura shows are going to be "co-headlining" shows. That would make it more attractive to me. Even if it's sold out you can likely scalp tickets. If Jinjer is co-headlining it would be worth it. Jinjer has become that "hell or high water" band for me. I'd never gone out of state to see a band before. Never flown to see a band. With Jinjer I do whatever it takes to see them headlining, because I know it's gonna be the best thing since sliced bread.

[@Flesharrower]

It's been a while John, good to see you again! Is that the first time you've ever said the word "wowed" out loud? lol

[@JWSoundworks2]

How could you tell!? 😂

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Go, go Jinjer.

[@casting-maker]

Super cool 👍🎵🤘🇺🇦

[@module79l28]

This concert has given us some of the best live performances of their songs, I still don't understand what possessed the person who didn't want to release it as a live DVD.

[@cjjoe2385]

I can’t believe you haven’t checked out Outlander or Cloud Factory yet. Outlander (failure .color) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqWyip15oK19l80 Cloud Factory (Official live) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZibpZyIrr2ooLM

[@cjjoe2385]

Outlander, whilst an oldie could be one of their all time best.

[@alandixon1787]

On the top is awesome especially this one line in Kiev. But my personal favorite is cloud factory. I would like to have your professional opinion on the original video version compared to the newer official live video. Like a then versus now comparison. The original had the extra guitar and a phenomenal drummer as well.

[@galacticcaveman4045]

i like ya man... you make sense sometimes

[@ericpeterson7512]

Great reaction as always mate! Cheers from Alabama. I really dig your playing on your original songs! I'm subbed to your other channel, and I might just have to go do your piano lessons too. I'm pretty nooby on keyboards, so I'll probably have to work up to it. Your analyses are some of the most knowledgeable and erudite on KZbin. Yes, I said erudite. Those who know, know. Jinjer is a very special band. Everything they do is done with ultimate passion, dedication and love. It radiates out of every moment. I hope you check out the three videos from the new Live In Los Angeles. In particular Call Me a Symbol and Home Back are astounding. The sound is so clean, the performance is so flawless, the energy is so good. It showcases a supreme live band at the top of their game. My copy of the DVD/blu-ray pack hasn't arrived yet. But if the rest is as good as the three songs they've released on video to date, it could be one of the best live DVDs I've ever seen. I've been streaming the album on Bandcamp and it's scarily perfect. Sounds like they went in to re-record the albums, and happened to put on a killer metal show while they were doing it. The precision is uncanny.

[@whispermason8052]

Have you ever listened to Jinjer - Bad Water? Only song I know of theirs where there is no growls. Kind of that midway between old Jinjer and 2017 Jinjer.

[@clalo4]

Another good metal singer that could do voice overs is Otep Shamaya!! She did creature voices for The Last of Us video game!!! :)

[@женятитарев]

Я вважаю що ми заслужили на таку музику, да я слухав це ще до того як це стало мейнстімом. Слава Україні

[@ericpeterson7512]

Heroyam slava! Slava Jinjer! Peace through victory!

[@m4dn3wt]

I am not trying to take you off your path, but you should check out this prog band called The Mars Volta. Their music sounds like an acid trip going through different rhythm paths and journeys; you would definitely dig it!

[@JWSoundworks2]

Been one of my favourite bands for years! I was into At The Drive-In before The Mars Volta even formed. De-Loused… is one of my favourite albums.

[@alessandromalvasi7768]

Im late on this but im gonna write something anyway: The part on 8:42 sounds a lot like opeth to me, just slightly more "metalcore" in a way.

[@whispermason8052]

Wow, didn't think there was any Jinjer left that you didn't do. Not a complaint. I watch peoples reactions over and over from time to time. And even then, the band members are just the best kind of people when you talk to them. Give this interview with Tatiana a look and tell me it's not the most damn charming thing you've seen kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIndd3ZpYsyXp8k on Ukrainian Metal Bands channel, Tatianna makes you smile. And I think they are at least in the argument of best metal band of all time.

[@julsbluerose]

PLEASE REACT TO DIMASH S.O.S.

[@TheKotofoto]

"A bit straightforward and repetitive" ))))) (while I'm recalling the last 3rd part with those lines and rhythms, tied and poured with Tati's vocals). I'm totally enjoyed by your reaction )))))))) Thank you

[@V.Zakomirnyi]

JINGER is a vivid example of the musical talent of Ukrainians. Even in such an unconventional musical style for the Slavs, they were able to find their way and become icons for many in the whole world. Unfortunately, most people in the world are not familiar with Ukrainian performers, since the vast majority of them use the Ukrainian language. And only those of them who sing in a foreign English language (and there are very few of them) can be heard outside of Ukraine.

[@davidjames6036]

Lol yeah talentwise they are one of the tightest and most proficient 4 piece units u will ever see, but as far as mainstream name recognition it might just not be in the cards to reach that type of level........happens to many super talented metal bands.
