[@AlgaltheBard]

Thank you very much for this review. It has been a pleasure to perform this song and an honor to be featured on your channel. If your tour brings you to Spain at some point, I would be delighted to accept your invitation 🤘😉

[@j.v.7451]

Love your covers. So glad you got a shout-out from one of the originators.

[@EvelynSucksAtLife]

I love your covers! They're great for DnD!

[@kevindaniel1337]

@shadowTheEdgelord my party instantly recognized his cover of Toxicity while they were just chilling and RPing in a tavern.

[@williammarks5303]

Amazing skills sir, absolutely love it!

[@lukeorlando4814]

I said some while back I would like this review. Herman is absolutely right. When a cover is made the artist needs to own it. If all you do is try to replicate the original. Then I would rather just listen to the original. Algal, you did a fantastic job of owning this song and it is such an exciting delight. You took an epic song and made it an adventure to be discovered. Thank you,

[@archangelspythons]

I love how dragonforce is one of very few bands where someone other than the singer is the most recognizable face of the band

[@АлексейГрицук-к1м]

Another one is AC/DC and Angus Young)

[@michaelhall736]

Herman Li is one of the coolest dudes in metal I've ever seen.

[@MrBanaanipommi]

or finnish hurriganes Remu Aaltonen (drummer and vocalist lol) or Andy mcCoy from Hanoi rocks (lead quitarist)

[@teamcosmicseeds]

I recognize ZP...easy

[@knieban]

@@АлексейГрицук-к1м Van Halen is literally named after the guitarist.

[@jimmie_collins]

Walk into a tavern in 1564 and hear the band laying this down. I'd order a pint for the band.

[@noneofyourbusiness3288]

Bardcore is the ultimate feel-good music. I cant help but smile when I hear a song that makes me feel like I am sitting in an adventurers tavern.

[@jsan2548]

Really love how he strips the highly technical solo passages down to their melodic essences. Such a tasteful way to translate the original to this arrangement. Absolutely Wonderful.

[@pumbaa667]

Exactly my thoughts, I couldn't have express them so well.

[@ALJ9000]

Probably easier on the instruments too

[@mikh9202]

Algal the bard has a lot of good stuff on his channel. Covers and originals all with medieval instruments, all played by him.

[@GegenscheinVRC]

I really like his System of a Down covers

[@krisnanda8850]

yeah, I watch his videos few years back

[@hellishlycute]

they're not medieval, just european

[@garyhendrick4391]

Hallowed be thy Name, ftw

[@springheelzach812]

temple of the king is a personal favorite of mine

[@Monsterinabox89898]

i love how humble Herman is. dude really gets a kick out of music in general its so great to see him reacting to these covers.

[@Vengeful_Goan_spirit]

He is anything but humble

[@eeriegoesd]

@@Vengeful_Goan_spirit why would you say that? not mean to be rude, just genuinely curious

[@Vengeful_Goan_spirit]

@@eeriegoesd he is a dick in general and douchey af Cancel Reply

[@Holden-uf7]

@@eeriegoesd he shows off way too much and too flashy. I get sometimes during a concert showing off can be worth it, but even casual play sessions with other people he shows off way too much

[@LocrianDorian]

Loved the emotion he put on the recorder parts, he seems to really know that instrument really well. It isn't the most difficult instrument, but making it sing like that is NOT easy, he is fluent in it.

[@Nathan-dt2tu]

Listen again. He's playing a recorder in the video, but he clearly recorded the audio with a proper flute

[@andrewbelew7345]

Bardcore is my most recent favorite genre! It's some of the most relaxing music I've ever heard! I have to disagree with the statement that it's a one time listen for this cover. When I turn on Bardcore, literal hours pass, yet it feels like only a few minutes. It's an amazing experience to just wind down the day!

[@bryanbisimotopinas345]

bardcore. lol. i love this

[@MonsterJuiced]

Imagine if someone did a real cool power metal version of this tavern music. Damn I can hear it now

[@cypherbrittainnethegodofsl4988]

Imagine if in Dragonforce's next album, they have Alejandro Sayago to have a flute solo and TwoSetViolin have a violin battle (kind of like the guitar battle in TTFAF music video). Then there's Davie just slapping with Charles.

[@XxXnonameAsDXxX]

make it happen

[@SpacemanXC]

I would love to see more collabs in power metal, in general. I've always wanted a Dragonforce/Rhapsody mashup. But I think God is saving that for the end of the world, because it would be too epic.

[@jdbrisebois8732]

Don't forget Stevie shredding on the triangle

[@JasonYeo]

You just described heaven for me

[@hotasianstepsister3039]

Don't forget about the best triangle player🤣

[@HCR_Motorhead]

I've followed this guy for a while, he does so well and plays like a million instruments. It just goes to show that a decently written song played by someone with some skill will sound great no matter what style.

[@martinkrajscak4381]

Also if he has passion. Skill alone would only replicate the song 🙂

[@cosmefulanito6854]

It was expected that the song wouldn't have a solo. Not only because it's a really long and incredibly hard one, but also because it wouldn't fit much with the thematic. I mean, this cover is something you'd hear while relaxing at a pub after you came back victorious from an adventure and just want to relax and recover. A 3 minutes long solo in the middle of a relaxing bard song would be a bit out of place

[@findango]

It goes to show how great DragonForce tunes are when translated to new forms of music but keeping the song intact. It's amazing. Both the original and the cover. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheDefaultClass]

Their melodies are still some of my favorites

[@uncleb-rad193]

Further proof that "Through the Fire and Flames" is legendary!!!!

[@EnaBBQ]

I saw this before, I too was a little disappointed for not having the Solo, but looking back I can see that the solo wouldnt fit that well in the arrangement of that song, the soul of the solo was there and then reaching straight to the "Here we stand" part turned out great.

[@XxXnonameAsDXxX]

I think they could invite the flute guy for the solo. He re-did his cover and it's even crazier than the original one!

[@Cpt.Str4ng3]

Next Dragonforce Album, featuring, a bard with a flute, a horse with buckets and at this point probably laser velociraptors with shovels.

[@Cpt.Str4ng3]

also a man without head and a bassist in full sailor moon costume for some reason.

[@hellglaser3450]

Laser raptors? I must have hacked too much time

[@EvilGNU]

@@hellglaser3450 Must be the viking age

[@bryanhauser2444]

This version goes hard, just shows you how good the melodies in the song are.

[@icksv5529]

I can see Geralt of Rivia sitting impassive in front of a mug of beer, while Jaskier plays😂

[@MatsGarage]

Wait....I think I can see Geralts foot thumping....no wait it was only to squash bug on the floor.

[@TheSGEllie]

😆😆😆😆 I thought the same thing.

[@PrinceAlhorian]

Ciri with him recognize just the slightest hint of a smile on his lips, though he won't admit it himself.

[@JoeStuffzAlt]

That guy is great at every instrument. Also, the lyrics of Through the Fire and Flames really fits this vibe. "We are now at peace, and the song will be now used in celebration!"

[@fugithegreat]

This works so well as a tavern song! It really does make my day happier just to listen to it! Algal is wonderful.

[@aztecklover69]

i imagine vikings and knights going hard to this song if it existed in olden times^^

[@chris_2714]

Algal the Bard is great. Does a lot of metal covers in this style, and does a great job of it. Worth checking out!

[@hang10wannabe]

It actually sounds like it could be placed in an old RPG fair stage... like imagine Chrono Triggers Millennium Fair with this song playing in the background.

[@themris]

I love the positive energy of this cover. It's so cheerful!

[@mikej2239]

Algal's performance is great, but your reaction, the sheer joy radiating form you as you hear this just has an uplifting effect. Thank you for doing this. You have made the world brighter for all that see this.

[@bendersbrain]

This cover is stupidly good ! I still remember exactly when I heard for the first time this song and told to my music lover friends about you ! that song embodies more than music to me

[@thnecromaniac]

I'm so glad you got to see this, Algal's bardcore covers and originals are just, beautiful and amazing, he deserves the love!

[@landmine4562]

I literally found the tavern version yesterday and loved and now you react to it. Ayo that means this is definitely a good cover

[@ciscojablonski2071]

The mark of any great song is how well it can be represented in other ways! Shredding, metal masterpiece and way more... obviously.

[@TAP7a]

Love the harmonizing accordion+recorder concept for the guitar duets / harmonies

[@alfonso4740]

Algal is the real deal, there are a lot of medieval music channels but almost all make the music with computer, Algal plays It for real, all instruments, it's impressive, and he make really good arrangements, not just a copy from the original, great musician, so proud he's a spaniard like me ;-)

[@NoName-t7e]

I love it. Herman your music lends itself perfectly to this kind of music, I dont think heavy metal often does that.

[@christophersherman2437]

I am Officially waiting to hear this in an elevator or while on hold. So much better then some of the wait music in the world. Awesome job.

[@Starcraftgamer97]

I use this as Tavern background music in my D&D games. It kicks all kinds of ass and my players loved it when they recognized it.

[@maggiepie8810]

This did indeed cheer me up. I've heard the cover before, but this is amazing.

[@abrielrobertsson4160]

Herman always mentions how important it is to add your own style to their covers and I'm sure this version hit him in his heart strings xD.

[@MikaTarkela]

That flute sounds beautiful! I got the chills/tingles when the chorus started :)

[@biggie25x]

That’s what I like about this, he’s so willing to share his music with other creators and how they interpret their songs. Totally awesome. Thanks for a good time listening to this song.

[@crossfire2045]

I swear, Herman Li is just a great guy. You barely ever see bands or even individuals of a band go in and react to all the different ways people cover one of their songs

[@BJGvideos]

It's not musicians but I get the same energy as watching Lani and Kaiser of Team Fourstar going over their stuff and talking about the reaction videos they've seen. Even used a clip of one in their most recent video.

[@zen1258]

I actually discovered his channel through this song. He's got amazing content, and I'm so glad to see Herman's reaction!

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

I love Dragonforce and I love Algal the bard. This totally made my day, thank you! :D

[@frodoamadeusgobel9749]

Herman Li is so sweet and nice. Just thinking if you sit in a tavern with him, drinking some Mead, it sure would be so funny and nice.

[@hobbz4921]

My mind would be absolutely blown if I heard this guy playing this in some random pub!!! This was so awesome! Thanks Herman for sharing this.

[@Ruskad]

May be the ultimate Dungeons & Dragons hype song for me. Getting the party pumped and ready for another adventure!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

What sets Algal the bard apart from so many bardcore channels is that he actually plays the instruments on camera.

[@farkasmactavish]

This cover is perfect for D&D

[@bse523]

This was my first exact thought. Some beautiful music to have an old school DnD bar fight to!

[@michaelcarlton1484]

Dungeons and DragonForce.

[@springheelzach812]

i can tell you from personal experience you are correct

[@GabrielAngelfire]

I can't stop picturing Herman Li with a mega pint of ale dancing to this on stage.

[@marysweeney7370]

Thanks for the review. Because of Algal the Bard's cover of your song, I was introduced to your music!

[@davecarroll]

I've listened to this song multiple times and his music is in my Spotify rotation. Simply amazing!

[@mrfrupo]

This cover is a master piece and I'm glad you checked it out Herman :)

[@TheDefaultClass]

This style really highlights what I love about dragonforce, the melodies

[@fpassow1]

I just started listening to DragonForce a few weeks ago, after I heard this cover and searched for the original. This song has an amazing spirit.

[@chrislognshot]

never thought we get folk version of this song. way to go dude

[@hanslidlwagen4115]

This and Through the Water and the Waves are my favourite chill covers of this song

[@wesleybilly8097]

[@stevecoronado1103]

This just uplifted me a bit more than I already was. I feel amazing now

[@mkfremkglmfekwgnkr1727]

I challenge anyone to try keep their head still listening to this :-) Great find Herman , this is so Epic

[@seraphimipx2611]

yep... Algal the Bard is the best medieval/castle-style cover guy in the world. he is a legend already. :) so cool, to cover also this!

[@chrisb5023]

I'd be happy drinking in this tavern!! So cool that he does it by himself. Gonna have to learn how to play the recorder Herman haha

[@smoothkirito]

If I ever run a D&D session again, Algal's music will definitely be a big part of the background. Totally vibing with this!

[@gorantrpevski6699]

OMg , i just saw the Insane Flute Cover of throug fire and flames. That Recorder was Smokin'

[@clintonm2357]

This is one of my favorite Dragon Force songs and Algal's Tavern Version is amazing.

[@OnlyKaerius]

As soon as I saw his video I went to one of your reaction videos and suggested you react to it. And now I find you have, excellent.

[@menalvagor]

I just realised that Through The Fire and Flames is actually Eye of the Tiger in the melody......

[@billyfunt]

Be on the lookout for "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree " Everyone rips that off...

[@oshikuru09]

They have another song that kind of sounds like 5 speckled frogs, it's great lol

[@GudeDoc]

Very nice i love it to see you reacting to this artist!!!

[@leetshi927]

Man, that's a fact, you became one of the most influent guitar player in this f*****g world ! Et merci pour toute cette inspiration et cette bonne humeur que tu nous offre ! On t'aime !!!

[@MoldyStir-Fry]

You are right. That made my entire day! Thanks for sharing this!

[@olivermiller2013]

This is simple beautiful. It would fit to a middle age computer game: Imagine you go in a tavern and hear this song. Very well done.

[@shawnwolf5961]

I love that you listen to people who do covers, react to them, and just hearing your take on it. Really good stuff. I'm fairly new to Dragonforce and your channel really, but I have a lot of appreciation for how down to earth you are. Funny story for you, I pulled this up on KZbin when I was playing DnD and my bard scored a nat 20 on his performance check and said "this is how skilled my bard is." The DM and the other players got a good laugh out of it!

[@Donkeysj]

What an awesome version of your song! Made me want to get some cardboard & silver duck tape to make some armor, and go questing..... or maybe I'll just finish my coffee, take a shower, and go to work.

[@timothyglassbrook4886]

I appreciate that you take the time out of your schedule to make this content for the fans

[@johnwick1883]

Spot on as usual Mr. Li. From a jazz/Everything drummer. Peace.

[@smithyengs]

This is simply amazing. You should invite him to a live show and play!

[@radzsing]

Love this! It's definitely going to make an excellent, happy wake-up call/ alarm.

[@MethodOverRide]

Amazing cover! Everything on his channel is really good. He has a cover of the Conan soundtrack that's amazing.

[@Gobboleone]

Awesome! I am a big Fan of Algal and DF so its nice to find this reaction! If you want to something like this again, there is a pretty awesome and unusual cover by the Morander Brothers here on youtube which might be worth a look too.

[@newdrug1880]

Nice that you reacted to this! Was just wondering :)

[@kevinsartor7050]

I love Dragonforce and I also love Tavern Music Genre haha - awesome chilled Cover

This man is so unbelievably wholesome and I am here for it

[@izahanismail5646]

This should be the theme song for the next D&D movie!

[@hvirdberg8532]

first time i heard this version of this song was with my 84 y/o grandmother. She has since passed away. Not a single day has passed since she died, where i have not missed her. Im super introverted as a person. She was the one person who always tried to push me out of my comfortzone. If anyone every reads this, her name was "Bente" and she was an amazaing person. This cover reminds me of her, i love you granny, i hope i meet you again soon

[@LinktheSamoyed]

Somebody should make a metal cover of that bard song, that would be sick!

[@legendsofthebravebard]

@AlgaltheBard is awesome! Big fan of his music!

[@JamieAubrey]

Yes, I've been waiting for this reaction ever since I found the Tavern Version

[@tsstn]

Herman Li, you are a MAN among men sir. You always have the best positive things to say about people as musicians and artists. You are so skilled yourself, you could shred almost anyone with even well meaning constructive criticism. Yet you never even let on that you have any criticism to offer, if even you might have some. You are a generous and kind man. A refreshing breath in an internet world that can take one's breath away. Thank you for your kindness and all you do. Rock On!

[@brucecook502]

I absolutely loved it :-) the Simplicity of it and since it was done very differently from anything I've seen before and done very well, I actually enjoyed it much like I did when I first heard it from the original track. This was honestly very satisfying to watch.

[@boyfriendwannabe1825]

I don't know the adventurous walk to slay the dragon could be this peaceful, joyful and fun.

[@hockeynerd06]

To be honest I've probably watched that video 8 or 10 times by now 😂. It's probably my favorite cover of Through the Fire and the Flames. Thank you so much for this review. I would suggest doing a review of the Morander Brothers acordian cover. It is surprisingly good. I would never have expected metal to sound so good on an acordian.

[@shadowrider2918]

That was actually really bad ass! Loved it!

[@Lonezer]

I was already smiling at the first few seconds, epic as the original

[@henrikandreason7261]

YOU MUST REACT TO THE MORANDER BROTHERS!! I never write in all caps but they deserve your attention. Two brothers with accordions that play your song as flawless as yourself. Insane, you could easily have them on stage with you playing through the fire and the flames.

It certainly helps that a lot of DragonForce's songs like this pull inspiration directly from old Medieval-style melodies.
