ROADIE REACTIONS | "Jinjer - Retrospection (Live)"

[@TheDjentleman77]

Don’t know what to say about this band anymore. They are just one of those bands that comes along once every 10-20 years. Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻

[@sixeswow]

You and me both. Jinjer quickly became my favorite all time band. It's crazy how good they are.

[@erased84]

They truly deserve all of the positive recognition they get. They are some of the sweetest/nicest people i've ever met. They were my last show in 2019 before the shit hit the fan. I got to hang out with them and actually shoot their show in October of 2019. They are all SO incredibly nice.

[@TheDjentleman77]

Maaan, you lucky@@erased84! I hope i’m gonna be in the same position some day.

[@DerekWiedenheft]

Withen the first few listens they became my favorite band of all time. I honestly can't go a day without listening to a few songs. They're so unbelievably talented.

[@TheDjentleman77]

Amen to that @@DerekWiedenheft At first it was the shock factor (at least for me) with Tati’s amazing voice but when you really start listening to the band, crazy good!

[@StMidium]

That grin on your face when she does the low growl... Pure joy, plain and simple. Goosebumps aplenty!

[@deathtozemotherland]

I'm so shattered i only discovered Jinjer in lockdown as i live only an hour from where this show was performed and would have killed to have been at the concert!

[@shanerogers3869]

Not sure what’s worse. You missed them and you live an hour away, or that they didn’t even visit Western Australia.

[@recrdholdr]

I saw Jinjer in Toronto last year. It was an amazing show. If you can get the backstage meet and greet tickets, DO IT. The tickets were cheap and the band was amazingly friendly.

[@TankTheTech]

I actually just interviewed Tati and Eugene for the channel the other day. That interview will be coming out this coming Friday!

[@everett880]

That bass line is nasty! Recently I started listening to Sandra Nasić, one of Tati's inspirations - yup I can definitely see the influence in vocals especially her cleans. Sandra is a badass.

[@DavidBuse]

Captain Clock is probably my favourite Jinjer song. The last section gives me goosebumps.

[@djent463]

this man moshing to the beat brings happiness to my soul

[@ScCrash26]

I love Tati's low growls, but that high scream in this one... 🔥🔥🔥

[@TankTheTech]

Seriously. The one towards the end of Sit Stay Rollover from this performance is insane too.

[@peterkarargiris4110]

Excellent effort dude ! I hereby make you an honorary Australian. I was at their show in Adelaide (South Australia) a few days prior to this. I never tire of telling people how awesome they were live. I 'm looking forward to getting this dvd. Please consider doing a collab with your wife one day. It's great to hear the impressions of people who are not necessarily that into metal. Cheers Tank.

[@TankTheTech]

Hell yeah! I’m now an honorary Canadian, Australian, Irishmen, and Finn. Haha

[@CertifiedSunset]

I love that this song is a giant "thank you" to their parents

[@s1lentsymphony607]

I think a lot of people would agree when I say, we NEED "Interview with a Roadie" with someone from Jinjer. We have to figure out what it takes to make this happen. I saw them live here in Calgary and every single song was just crushed into oblivion. They do not let up on the gas pedal. This band is ridiculously talented, and I am so looking forward to seeing where they can go from here.

[@BTAColorado]

I think they would be available for something like this. The band gets how big these reaction channels play in to their rising success. Wasn't long ago Eugene was on Alex Hefner's channel and they talked for a solid 20 minutes and were going to react to Ape together but didn't quite get to it because of recording issues.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

Eugene did an interview / reaction with Alex Hefner, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's up for it. They definitely acknowledge what role KZbin played for their exposure.

[@saltydroog854]

This song is another absolutely beautiful poem from Tati. She speaks so fondly of her childhood.

[@c.f.youngblood5404]

Great Reaction and breakdown Tank and the Feeling is Mutual about Jinjer. I'm a 53 year old Radio DJ who had become bored with modern Music...Enter Jinjer ...2019. Now i'm an absolutely Rabid Jinjer Acolyte...and assure you My Old ass Will be at the next local Jinjer appearance. OK now for recommendations...First :"Who is gonna be the One" (live)...then," On the Top" official video. Oh and btw there are No wrong choices for Jinjer...All Hail Queen Tati!

[@charleshenggeler2691]

I love this band too. Even if I'm not overly fond of a studio recording, I usually end up liking the live version. And Tatiana has set the bar for female screaming vocals. Love her voice. Love the content man. Keep it up!

[@acidblasta]

Jinger is Awesome, and I am glad that you hear Gwen in her voice too. the one take of Judgement & Punishment really made me think of that no doubt feeling thanks to that reggae vibe.

[@hxckid]

As a native speaker both of russian and ukrainian languages, I can 100% confirm that Tati sing in russian and not in ukranian. Text at the begining(smth like that): Who nursed you, brightened sadness with love? In late spring, those who carried you above his head will be covered with grass!

[@Mu77ley]

Saw them in London almost a year ago now, and they were incredible.

[@saltydroog854]

This live set is DOPE AF. I listen to it every morning for my old man work out. The audio quality is soooooo good. Every song in a banger. Great, great set.

[@billgilson9987]

It’s nice to see reactions where the person actual knows what they’re talking about when it comes to the musical talent of everyone in the band. Not exaggerating 99% of reactors drool over Tatiana (for good reason) but don’t even acknowledge the other members. Good stuff brother!

[@TankTheTech]

Probably why Tati says she doesn’t care about most reactions and thinks they’re all bullshit. Haha. Thanks man!

[@juliettemcgee9055]

I've been talking to a member of Ghost Iris on IG and they did live shows with Jinjer in Germany last September. Seated crowds lol, definitely an unusual playing ground during these times but they still went hard. Kinda weird not to see people moshing to their music, but mad respect for adhering to rules of social distancing.

[@everett880]

Saw some photos on Jinjer's IG too. Seated crowds at a metal show is definitely weird if it's not during pandemic haha.

[@Buffaloheart68]

First time I heard Jinjer I was blown away by her vocals, but hearing these live shows, the band is just as awesome.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

Fun reaction. The two clubs I saw them at were 400 and 800 capacity (Brick by Brick in San Diego and El Corazon in Seattle). They are still an up-and-coming band so most of their shows are pretty small. It is amazing being that right up close as they do their thing. If you watch the official video to this, there is a lot of behind the scenes video you might enjoy geeking out over, including one where they are building the screens they use when they are in Europe - they definitely aren't shipping those anywhere so far. Cheers!

[@TankTheTech]

Oh man! I’ve both played at and worked at El Corazon. That’d be insane to see them there.

[@j.f.fisher5318]

@@TankTheTech wow, that's really cool. Great club. :)

[@pikyarte]

Hi my friend! 🤘🤘🤘I will always like your reaction about Jinjer and they are fking amazing on every live evolution.... I will tell you a short story... :I'm from Romania.. East Europe..close to Ukraine..i have 45 years old and I was a big fun of trash metal especially Sepultura, Pantera, Slayer, Metallica...after year 2005/2006...I just don't get a great trooper than Jinjer...so fking unique.. A big respect for you and your work bro🤘🤘🤘❤️🇧🇪

[@margaretgreen5263]

Apparently, Tatiana is pretty talented in areas other than music.... makes and designs all her costumes, draws and designs all her tats, etc. Keep rockin’ it out! ❤️🤘🏻

[@doktermobiel]

Blown away again by Jinjer ❤️ .. loving that band

[@nickmilo932]

Tank preparing for a reaction: puts 🧢 on. 🧢: why bro? You're gonna yeet me mid reaction anyway?

[@monstercookies2726]

The thing I love about this band is everybody shines, not one outshines the others. But of course let's not forget about the MVP: Tank Facts 😎

[@SteveSmith-os5bs]

Jinjer does their best work live, I love this song, this version Of the song is the best.

[@pansern7775]

Saw them two summers ago in Gothenburg... Best night of my life!! :)

[@malcolmperez1790]

Speaking of small shows they are coming to a small venue near me. I. CANT. FUCKING. WAIT.

[@fysy9989]

I saw Jinjer 3 times and they are so awesome. First show was Arch Enemy, Wintersun, Tribulation and Jinjer, 2nd show was Amorphis, Soilwork, Jinjer, Nailed to Obscurity, 3rd show was Jinjer with the Agonist and 2 other bands.

[@paulcrick856]

Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it. Now that you have heard Retrospection you can go on your own time and watch the official video. It has a lot of behind the scenes shots and fun interactions with fans and other members of the band you never see on stage.

[@fjolagu]

Jinjer: Ape, who´s gonna be the one, On the Top, judgement (and punishment), I speak Astronomy.... it´s really endless! 🤘🏻

[@alejandroverdugo1543]

Hello tank, as always me and as it is already part of my routine, here I am seeing your reactions, I personally love Jinjer, Tatiana's vocal quality is incredible and eye she started singing Jaz if I'm not wrong, how technical they are is simply a pleasure to hear.

[@enlightendbel]

The band members are from the Russian speaking border region of Ukraine. The part that is still partly occupied by Russia and Russian funded rebels. They grew up in a literal warzone, which gives a lot of context to their lyrics. In this specific song, the line "childhood of miseries, life long injury" is a reflection on that.

[@ChrisAvery]

I saw them in Ottawa last fall, in a seriously tiny club.. like 250 capacity, maybe. Unreal to see such an awesome band that I'm a huge fan of in a place that small.

[@WWFISTDOOF]

one of the best choices ive ever made was clicking on one of your videos, found unleach the archers, windrose and now jinjer bc of you greetings from germany

[@TankTheTech]

Awesome! Love hearing that!

[@viktororlov2542]

if you were wondering, first lines are little bit hard to translate, cause it contains kinda old form of russian words and phrases, but i will try who was nursing you? brightened up sadness with love in the late spring, will be covered with grass, the one who carried you over your head

[@vinchenzomoralesiii2606]

BANGER! My favorite Jinjer track for sure!

[@Skywolf370]

I absolutely love this one.

[@kayh8573]

I'd suggest Guano Apes "Big in Japan" "Open Your Eyes" and "You Can't Stop Me" - not exactly metal, more 00s German hard rock, but you can definitely see the vocal influences Tatiana references when asked! Plus, Sandra was ahead of her time with the "pretty singing/growling" combo!

[@quinceykirkland1227]

I enjoy the gear and band facts...always learn something

[@andrewk3725]

Thanks ,great informative reaction.Ukrainians speak in Ukrainian and Russian languages ,in western part of Ukraine mostly in Ukrainian ,in eastern ,where are the band's members are from, mostly in Russian ,in other regions in both languages .So,the intro part of the song in Russian . Now they live in Kyiv ( Kiev - transcription from Russian )-the capital of Ukraine .So many people hear some Gwen Stefani influence in Tatiana's clean vocals in different songs.Personally I hear it more in the clean part of the song "Ape".These guys are special ,they used to do everything in their own way ,so I wouldn't be surprised if they used their gear even in Australia :-) "Pit of consciousness "live in Kiev is another great live performance , but official music video is awesome too .

[@des_o7935]

Saw them in Toronto at a 1000 person show this time last year....it was one of the best and most intense shows I have been to. Pummeled by the sound.....and the crowd in the pit. lol

[@moloch42horridus]

I was at that show too. It was one of the craziest pits I've ever seen.

[@des_o7935]

@@moloch42horridus Agreed. It basically took up the whole lower level. I had to stay at the edge most of the time but sometimes it grew and I ended up in the middle. 😂

[@Sir_AlexxTv]

I wish a long career for this band i never have enough of them .......

[@panossyle1710]

That band is awesome. And one thing that blew me away (especially with vlad's drumming ) is the fact that each song has a unique feeling and taste. Just found your channel, keep up the good work. If you want a song from jinjer i will recommend you my favourite from the album MACRO. The song is called Pit of consciousness.

[@androgmey]

Hell yes man! I pre-ordered the sweet white vinyl and I can't wait! 🤘

It was about time Tank! I was missing a Jinjer reaction from you 🤘🤘🤘 Greetings from Greece

[@minisandgolf8933]

If they're in may I might very well see you there. A bit of a drive but I'll do it to see them.

[@vladmoriendi]

Great review. Love the tech side top.

[@laurinhaccb]

Amazing reaction! For me Jinjer has the perfect balance between harsher and lighter parts, with prog influence, forming a completely unique sound, simply awesome! If I may, please also react to my country's metal top-notch band Sepultura, they have a great new song called "Guardians of Earth"!

[@gearhead2255]

Saw these guys back In October 2019 in a 300 capacity pub in New Hampshire. It was fucking Insane

[@karaspangenberg1435]

Haven’t finished watching yet so not sure if it gets covered, but this song has a reference to their song “Dreadful Moments” from the Micro EP. Another song on Macro “The Prophecy” references “Ape” from Micro. Plus there’s “Perennial” on both but the Macro version is a remix/outro sort of deal.

[@GregPYatesJr]

I was planning on buying tickets for their 2020 Nashville gig, but everything got canceled and I have yet to see them live. Maybe next year!!

[@leemoseley1120]

Wifey is a keeper since she jams hard to Jinjer as much as you do. Max Watt's isn't that far from where I live, but sadly I missed the show as I was away for work the whole week. Hope you get a chance to work with them someday.

[@saethone]

I'll be there in May too if the city is open! Lol

[@samcrorie]

I love this band ❤

[@arc6017]

How I fuckin love this song! One of my favorites from Macro! Epic!

[@kmart0526]

Now that you've heard the song, have you checked out the official video? Always though you'd get a kick out if backstage tour footage. Lots of personal insight to that culture...

[@grindcore9]

Judgement and Punishment, Ape, and I Speak Astronomy are awesome songs too! Honestly hope to see Jinjer live one day

[@jamesb3123]

Cant wait to see your reaction on JINJER new video called (THE PROPHECY).i just know your gonna love it! Peace and keep up the great work with your reaction videos.

[@timprice5747]

You might like the official video for this, they show them on tour, setting up, goofing off etc.

[@chriswicecarver3715]

Happy to see you did this one. For fun (on your own) check out the Official video of this. This is a good song. The Ukranian vocals at the front are beautiful and the depth and emotion to it is very good. Watched the whole thing...as always - enjoyed your take and review. Thanks.

[@Souls4Sale]

You need to watch the other vids from this show b4 album listen. Was a killer show especially as was mixed wirelessly from a Digico on an ipad.

[@MatthieuBENOIST]

Great reaction :) In the lyrics, the "Childhood of misery is lifelong injury. no is not for me"' is a direct reference to another song from Micro : "Dreadful moment" who is about Eugene childhood EDIT : its not about Eugene childhood, he only wrote the lyrics.

[@karaspangenberg1435]

I thought Eugene said it wasn’t about his childhood...more like something he could never imagine doing as a parent?

[@MatthieuBENOIST]

@@karaspangenberg1435 Thanks for the correction, You're completely right ! It's a common mistake and I don't read much on the origin, just other comments...My bad

[@eyesauceelise1034]

Talking about small club/intimate pummeling. I was lucky enough to see Jinjer on their North American tour in 2019, at El Corazon in Seattle. They blew the roof off the place as far as I'm concerned. Nice work on the videos Tank. Shame you have to go slow through the catalog for content. We all have to make sacrifices I guess ;)

[@TankTheTech]

Damn! I've been in El Corazon many times. That'd be sick to see them at a venue like that.

[@eyesauceelise1034]

@@TankTheTech About 700+ people were all crammed in the El Corazon side when Jinjer started playing as the headliner. My buddy and I went for the VIP tix so we could see them before the show. The really crazy thing about Tati singing the way she does, she is so much smaller than she looks in videos and stuff. I have a pic of me with the whole band from that show. I'm 6'1" and she was standing right next to me. The top of her head is even with my shoulder. 0_o

[@ericclevenger7716]

They came to Chicago, IL in October of 2019 and this had just been added to their setlist. It was just a few days before Macro would drop so it was a BRAND new song for the audience... and it was just THIS GOOD!!! This song is WAY up on my favorites list! LOVE JINJER!!!!!

Great reaction Tank I saw them 8 mounths ago, they are incredible, no matter if it is a show with a big production or it is a little show on a bar, the band is awesome and their performance is perfect You should react to -Outlander -captain clock (live resurrection fest) -who is gonna be the one (live)

[@tackle47]

My 2nd favorite Jinjer song and that is a colossal mountain. Not sure but I do not think you have done my favorite Jinjer song, Outlander. It is older from 2014 and would be nice to see you do some OG Jinjer.

[@nathanberry4849]

Also, they did, assuming I've got the right tour up, 40 dates in the states. America is huge, but 40 dates can still be done logically with a lot of their own gear. Each of the 5 gigs they did in australia were very long distances apart. *checks* These are guesses, based soley on A to B via a straight line, no factoring in any actual travel just straight distance. Basically add half again to each distance for actual driving. Adelaide to Canberra = 1000KM (620M) Canberra to Melbourne = 464KM (288 Miles) Melbourne to Sydney = 714KM (444 Miles) Sydney to Brisbane = 733KM (455 Miles) Every night. Gonna guess they flew. They could have driven, but the Canberra to melbourne drive takes 7 hours minimum. Melbourne to sydney takes 14 hours driving... cause you gotta swing back past canberra... America is huge, but australia is gigantic... Oh and that didn't even do an WA leg. Perth to Adelaide is twice the Adelaide to Canberra distance. Longer if you actually try the trip. TL;DR; They flew and They Rented. Anything else would have been too expensive and tiring.

[@nathanberry4849]

I did the Canberra show the night before. Even smaller venue, maybe 200 people tops? And the meet and greet too, they were TIRED, and our meet and greet was a couple hours before the show. Tati is tiny, you'd never figure that when she's on stage though. Gawdayumn.

[@TankTheTech]

I also know they flew and rented because I’ve done basically that same routing multiple times with multiple bands and you can’t drive it not only because of time, but because of the commercial travel logistics in Australia.

[@nathanberry4849]

@@TankTheTech Yeah, I wasn't even gonna touch on that cause I was long winded already. But yeah, unless you're Maiden and can pack your tour into your own plane and have your singer fly you everywhere? You gotta do it the cheap way and convenient way.
