Reacting to Beast in Black - Blind and Frozen | Musician / Vocalist Reaction & Analysis!

[@vl59011]

Battle Beast was actually formed by Anton Kabanen, who also wrote all their songs. Then the rest of the band kicked him out and he went on to form Beast in Black. So there‘s definitely a connection 😉

[@LuisRdzG10]

Wow, didn't know that.

[@torelethain3848]

Was gona say this myself, you already got though, Similar styles because it is the same guy.

[@ronnylind2616]

Anton wanted a dark serious black themed metal band, but Battle Beast started, after the first album, go more to the pop sounding metal and happy color stage clothing. Anton and Juuso (+Pyry) formed Battle Beast. He had enough, and left. It's so funny, he was so obsessed wit black stage clothing but wanted still use the Beast name, so there for became Beast in BLACK 😂 and they wore only black, sang battle beast songs the first shows, before the made "own" music. But as we see, soon he realised that if u want to get famous you have to make pop ish metal songs. And nowdays they have colorfull clothing to and silly stuff.

[@ragemage4984]

Thanks for reacting to this, we are very proud of Yannis and trust me, his is one of the easiest names to pronounce.... They came recently to Greece and the show was amazing, they are a great live band.

[@StergiosMekras]

Rethymno? I was there... and so were many of Yiannis other acquaintances from back in the day (some of which made fun of him for having a "girl's voice").

[@andykereztury1450]

Yannis does a great "Floor-Jansen-ey" version of Ghost Love Score!

[@vilandiris2612]

Please do Beast in Black - Born Again next! Yannis' voice shines in that one. 👌

[@soundocean3765]

Well, Yannis basically IS a male version of Floor. Another musical magician who can do anything and everything with his voice! Proof: His cover of Ghost Love Score, which you DEFINITELY should react to! They are awesome live as well btw. (One of the many people who got to know BiB through their Nightwish support show and was blown away right from the first notes here ;D) Definitely another band worthy of checking out more of! Anyway: Great reaction and interesting insights as usual. Keep up the good work! ♥

[@aleksanderdomanski222]

Yea, He "outfloored" Floor in that cover.

[@TheWiseGrif]

Man, i was thinking about you and the other SC members literally yesterday, and suddenly the Algorithm blesses me with this video to let me know you're doing okay

[@michaelgifford9305]

I totally agree with you wise, I do totally miss seeing SC on a far more regular basis. As a lead guitarist for 40 years from the Midwest I totally enjoyed my introduction to SC and had even arranged for my band to tour out west to try and meet them which fell through. It's awesome seeing that Anthony is doing great and has obviously matured awesomely in his craft. But I still have to wonder how the other members are doing hopefully and prayerfully Great seeing you looking and doing awesome Tony. Rock on and Rock hard

[@dkmcbigsley]

I SO f'n LOVE the synth with the melodic metal. So unique (as far as I'm aware)

[@kaeseblock1362]

Saw them live twice. The first time as opener for Nightwish and the second time as a headliner. They are simply amazing.

[@diosyntaxa]

Seen them twice, first time it was a surprise as I didn't know they were support for Nightwish when I saw Nightwish at the Wiltern in LA in 2022 (I was actually there to see The Warning but a friend mentioned Nightwish were performing there the day I arrived so I got a ticket :D ) and it was a lot of fun! Second time was at Sweden Rock Festival :)

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Floor Jansen-y, you say? Well, did you know that Yannis covered "Ghost Love Score" almost to a T the way Floor sang it?

[@Zerocool-kb4ej]

We went to see Nightwish in November 2022, in Ziggodome Amsterdam (the one with Henk Poort ) . and they were in the support act...never heard of them , but was pleasantly suprised. And they have a new fan since that show. I get a bit of Dragonforce vibes when i listen to them

[@chrismorley3265]

Power metal is definitely my favourite genre I think. Id take a guitar solo over a breakdown any day

[@Slick-ng5kf]

Nothing like good old power metal. Saw them opening for Nightwish and they rocked. Their drummer is freaking tight, the guitarists are good and always look like having so much fun on stage. And Yannis is a great showman and his live vocals are just as insane. Speaking of vocals … pretty solid high note yourself man 🤘

[@marcell6915]

Saw them 3 times live (Belgium and the Netherlands), they where the opener for Nightwish. They put on a great show.

[@Belmont_79]

🤘😎

[@ladislaualbert2807]

Nice reaction, review. When I first heard this song in audio only- I seriously thought there were two people singing. And since you mentioned Floor… Check out this singer’s version of Ghost Love Score. Thanks and enjoy!

[@n3var1]

Interesting insight!

[@cybergeek11235]

0:31 - "How Twon See Is Himself:" 😁

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

That singer was made Nightwish cover Ghost Love Score. Listen it and it's blown your mind...

[@ACorpseWithoutSoul]

Greetings from Hellsinki, Finland. Please make reaction video for a very unique moment when legendary Finnish metal band Sentenced make their last song of their last gig. So emotional moment in Finnish music history. Sentenced was one of the creators for death/blackmetal bands in Finland. After that Sentenced was like Type O Negative kind of music. Very melancholic music. Sentenced - End of the Road / Mourn / Credits (Buried Alive) LYRICS IN SUBS kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXbUaGqjjqxqa5osi=ad8cfbsLGA44KC7P

[@piiskarieska]

Since the Beanie likes Finnish bands so much, it should have some Blind Channel in it. Dark Side and Died Enough For You.

[@Anthony_Corso]

I’ve heard that name before. They won Eurovision right?

[@piiskarieska]

@@Anthony_Corso they were on 6th place. Represented Finland. They are pretty good!

[@jubbelidiot]

I saw these guys in Copenhagen last year. For this song, the crowd was singing along so loud on the chorus, you couldn't hear the band playing

[@CollectAnything2025]

Yannis does a cover of : Masque of red death from crimson glory... Go for it.

[@Starlingus]

3/4 of Beanie has finnish bands inside? Not a bad thing. The iceberg has been just scratched 😁

[@Anthony_Corso]

Pretty much yeah 😂

[@patty1004]

I have to admit you're really good analyzing vocals from your point of view, I really interested on what you have to say on this kind of videos

[@AcadianBacon8]

Yannis Papadopulous (probably misspelled) has his own KZbin channel where he's done covers of songs, including Nightwish!

[@cybergeek11235]

YE YE YE YE YE YE YE YE YE

[@cybergeek11235]

8:16 - wait, "both" breaks? I know about the chest/head-voice one, what's the other? ALSO: I haven't finished the video yet but in case you don't mention it - go back and listen to the 2nd couplet of the chorus and focus on the highest pitch in the backing vocals, because _goddamn_

[@rykehuss3435]

First time I heard this on the radio, before the chorus I thought it was a woman singing. He has such a pure and angelic headvoice. Great countertenor. His super high mixed belts remind me of Halford, though I think Rob hit them even higher and with even more piercing twang

[@no_onein2024]

THANK you for this reaction and for NOT saying Yannis "sounds like a woman" like SO MANY other reactors. NO, he sounds like a man using his falsetto!!!! I grew up with Prince so I can tell the difference between a females vocals and a males falsetto. As the comments below have suggested go to his channel and react to his cover of Floors version of Ghost Love Score!!!

[@HannuPulkkinen49]

A fairly recent Finnish band with a Greek singer. Nightwish vibe. Good reaction,

[@mikko.silvennoinen]

🤘🇫🇮

[@_Squiggle_]

Going to put in my two cents that you should do Yannis's cover of Ghost Love score next. It's the song that shows his capabilities as a vocalist the best

[@LuisRdzG10]

So Suite Clarity reactions are done as a group or what's going on? what did I miss?

[@Anthony_Corso]

For the moment, the SC stuff is halted, but you never know what the future has in store!

[@LuisRdzG10]

⁠@@Anthony_Corso Oh, I see. All my best wishes to all the three of you, you looked like a tight bunch of group. Time works in mysterious ways, but everything aligns when is the right time. Cheers bro.

[@alexspielejung398]

When you want to hear his different "persons" take GHOST IN THE RAIN.

[@karljensen6768]

If you look for something quite different, I can recommend the Finnish band Turmion katilott 😊

[@Lucerious92]

Yeah dude's vocals stole the show, like damn how are you gonna sing those notes so cleanly in THAT register? (yeah yeah I know hard work lol) Careful Twon, you might flagged from the Tube if you keep those lethal weapons on display😜

[@randalljones4370]

Going up high is easy until.... you turn 'flippin' 60 ... then the crutches come out and the yocal chords skip-n-limp like a log-rolling three-legged turnip. My days of singing Roger Taylor's parts are officially over... of course, I took a 20 year hiatus. Ear-worm hooks : pentatonic tape worms are everywhere. Kinda not surprised they are in this song, too. Editing 'Twon : good job. Corraling ADD-Twon must be a daily challenge. I do not envy you.

[@Anthony_Corso]

Get a nut clamp. Your voice will go much higher then! 😂😂

[@randalljones4370]

@@Anthony_Corso A possible Channel Sponsor ? "AppliedIschemia presents : the Calf-n-Tenor Nut Clamp!! Endorsed by 9 out of 10 medieval choirs !!"

[@tiitut9153]

You should listen yannis's version of ghost love score (nightwish)

[@christiandittrich2608]

Yeah, funny he mentions his timbre is Floor Janseny 😀

[@PK--ITA]

This is taking metal to the level of Taylor Swift, the '80s version.

[@ZonZorZerx]

What? Weird comparison, seeing as T Swifts music is absolute garbage.

[@LuisRdzG10]

who?

[@MikkoRantalainen]

If you haven't seen Yannis' cover of Ghost Love Score on his KZbin channel, you should definitely check it out. It's basically Floor's version from Wacken 2013 on top of official instrumental release of track.

[@ChrisPage68]

Nowhere near as good as her.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@ChrisPage68 Sure, cover is always just a cover. And we're talking about Floor here, it's not like the original had a lot left to improve.

[@finnishculturalchannel]

You clearly keep way too good notes in your beanie. The concept of pulling something out of the hat shouldn't lead to anti-climatic: "Yes, I know this band. The singer is Yannis Papadopoulos". You haven't heard of Stone Statues, have you? A fairly new band. The female singer has an interesting voice. Their favorite band is Rush: "Stoned Statues - Who Do You Think You Are?". These guys have been knocking doors longer in different bands: "MOON SHOT - The Power (Official Music Video)". A more established band: "Brother Firetribe - For Better Or For Worse". The Amorphis' guitarist Esa Holopainen's solo project featuring Håkan "Nordman" Hemlin: "SILVER LAKE By Esa Holopainen - Storm (Official Music Video)". A cappella and choir music should interest a singer and a voice professional. Couple of most popular Finnish groups: "Club For Five - Brothers In Arms", "Rajaton - Butterfly (live)", "TUULETAR - Ievan polkka (Loituma COVER)", "Semmarit - Pienet Linnut" and "Pohjois-Karjala - Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat". Some of the all-time best Finnish voices: "Olavi Virta - Hopeinen Kuu", "Topi Sorsakoski ja Agents Surujen kitara" and "Rauli Badding Somerjoki - Paratiisi". And some of the all-time most popular and recognized Finnish bands in Finland you likely haven't heard-for the the most parts at least. Introduction by Lemmy Kilmister: "Lemmy from Motörhead vs. Hurriganes", "Hurriganes - Get On", "Wigwam - Freddie Are You Ready (TV Promo, 1975)", "Juice Leskinen - Jyrki boy", "Hanoi Rocks - Dont' You Ever Leave Me (Music Video)", "Hassisen Kone - Rappiolla", "melodikakofoniko Eppu Normaali - Kitara, taivas ja tähdet", "Stone - No Commands", "Kingston wall - Shine On Me (Studio)", "Dave Lindholm - Annan kitaran laulaa vaan" and "J. Karjalainen - Mennyt Mies (virallinen musiikkivideo)".
