Plans & Announcements for 2023

shared appreciation of music indeed!

[@JonathonThamesMusic]

I can't express enough my appreciation for your support my friend. I always wanted to ask, what are some of YOUR favorite bands/artists?

[@harlanmonk569]

Dude pause if necessary. We are all used to the copyright boondoggle! Looking forward to your new music. And here's a request reminder kind sir. NeObliviscaris: Forget Not,Devour Me Colossus,Eyrie. Opeth: Ghost of Perdition: Live at Red Rocks These bands are absolute masters at composing,transitions and some of the best mixing you could wish for. To me a true rollercoaster ride requires being able to here all instruments clearly . Hope you check them out either in reaction vids or on your own time my friend. They are two of the best going. Thanks and bring on the 2023 journey!

So that I'm not on KZbin 24/7, I usually just watch Nightwish on reaction channels. But this video piqued my curiosity - I've added a reaction for another group, one of your covers, and "What is Music?" to my watch list. Continued success in 2023. And thank you so much for allowing the Nightwish videos to play without any obscuring.

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out the video and some of the other content and for your very kind words! I'm looking forward to digging into more Nightwish very soon, and I am glad I don't have to bother with obscuring the videos. Thank you again, and have an amazing 2023 as well!

As you say, the copyright rule on the videos is very hit and miss - Nightwish have always so far been safe without filters - Marillion were also pretty safe until a little while ago, then they started their own streaming service on their channel and now are pretty risky. In fact "The Invisible Man" was always a song that got blocked a lot. A shame, as they are one of my very favourite bands, across all their years. If you do another one soon, you will really enjoy the live performance of "Gaza". I only have a small channel, just putting my favourite artists/songs of the last 40+ years - not reacting, just sharing - and apart from one strike - unfortunately by Marillion - have found a lot of great music to share. Over the years I have made a list of artists to try to avoid - even if I am a fan - due to a high number of strikes reported by others. High on the list are Bjork, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Springsteen and King Crimson, although some YT channels have managed to include them without obvious issues. Some artists for you to feature? On a personal level I would say "Magenta", Queensryche"and "Lacuna Coil" - all live - would fit well on your channel And maybe "Within Temptation" - live as well. Hope to see more reactions soon - and subscribed

Thank you so much for watching, commenting, and subscribing! Yes, it's definitely on a case by case basis as far as stricter publishers and can be kind of a pain when you encounter it. I really appreciate the guidance as to which artists equal high risk -- I learned the hard way with Crimson already, which was a huge bummer to me as a big fan. I'm going to be checking out more of Marillion's stuff this year as well, so I'll be sure to tread carefully. Gaza is actually next up on the list of Marillion songs, so I look forward to checking it out really soon. I also appreciate all of the additional recommendations -- I'll be sure to check those out soon as well! Thank you again, and best wishes to you for an awesome 2023!
