ROADIE REACTIONS | "Wind Rose - We Were Warriors"

[@WindRoseOfficial]

Thank you for the amazing reaction bro! You guessed both the guitar and bass right on first attempt :D The guitar is a MMM1 indeed. I changed the bridge pick-up to a EMG81 and removed all the useless parts like the neck pick-up, the pick-up selector, knobs (replaced by an on/off switch). I also changed the mechanics to Schaller locking, and hid the Ibanez logo with black tape because by the time I got that guitar I was artist priced by another brand :) Grazie!

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you so much, and thanks for the confirmation and extra info on the gear! Love what you guys are doing, and can’t wait to check out more!

[@DrejoCadal]

@@TankTheTech Cool. If you do more, some of the best are Incense & Iron, Demons are a Girls Best Friend, Sanctified by Dynamite, Army of the Night, and Blessed and Possessed.

[@MountainMetal]

Love your sound! And the attitude... Everything, really. Glad to have found you.

[@onearthonelegion]

Dwarf Metal = Mithril

[@HALberdier17]

That is the perfect name for this sub-genre.

[@tero581]

Hahahah

[@7r3x1992]

​@@HALberdier17 thus Mithril Metal was born.

[@collectgemsosrs6298]

RuneScape....😢 Good times ....

[@John-lw5xc]

I think you meant Gromril, or perhaps Ur-Gold

[@MisterHavoc]

Yesssss... These guys are fuckin badass! I second the motion to do "Drunken Dwarves" and "To Erebor." Also, what did I tell you??? Nuclear Blast and Napalm have gobbled up 99.9% of all the good bands from Europe! Sabaton, Nightwish, Eluveite, Xandria, Alestorm, Gloryhammer, Powerwolf, Korpiklaani... The list goes on and on.

[@PinguWithAnAxe]

Saw these guys with Gloryhammer and Beast in Black last year. What a night!

[@galadballcrusher8182]

damn so jealous.... that would be an awesome combo

[@brendo9672]

More cheese than most could handle! FUCK THEM though. I want all the cheesiness haha

[@CailynCara]

that would have been one hell of a show. super jealous!

[@Mal3ficarum]

Insane line up!

[@misfitsdanzig2374]

I saw that too, I saw them live in Birmingham. I only got in the venue half way through the Wind rose set

[@EnricoCicilloni]

Here are three other great songs by Wind Rose: "To Erebor", "The Returning Race", "Wintersaga". And if you want to have fun check out "Drunken Dwarfs"!

[@_Frosty.1]

wow i didn't know the drummer was also in Ancient Bards thanks for that "Tank Fact"

[@honooryu5374]

Yeah that's something I'll have a look at. Thanks tank!

[@batsman83]

I am always amazed how accurate you are with gear such a really cool and different take on reactions. It would be awesome to see you do a reaction featuring a member of a band to discuss the gear they use.

[@brothernemiel6465]

They are not only good on record they are great live. Saw them a while back as support to Ensiferum's tour and they kicked ass. Never heard of them before but I instantly had to headbang. Funny side story, I was there with my sister and while we were headbanging to Windrose, we were standing right next to the merch. Suddenly a guy came with a cord and cut us off from the rest of the crowd and we were like o_O wtf is happening. Then the whole group from Ensiferum showed up for a meet and greet (during Windrose's gig) and I suddenly was first in line shaking hands with the guys while still processing what is happening (with beer in hand and nothing to sign on ^^) So I bought a shirt from them and directly let it sign ^^ While that was happening only two or three other people realized that there was a mee and greet going on...the rest was still moshing to Windrose hehe

[@darioteves1389]

Love WindRose! The begining of this song makes me remember Wintersun🤔

[@derubor]

Man, I hope to see them live in April next year, when they support for Orden Ogan, a German Power Metal band I cannot recommend enough (check out the songs "We are Pirates", "F.E.V.E.R.", and "Gunman"), in Stuttgart. The last show I was able to go was back in March... I can recommend you the band performing that night as well: Myrath with the songs "Believer" or "Dance", both of which are available as their live version when Myrath performed in Carthage.

[@gandyhyoga6942]

For Orden Ogan, I'd say "Fields of Sorrow" or "Come with me to the other Side". About Myrath, I'll take "Believer" as well!

[@gandyhyoga6942]

​@Nathan Conley​saw them live once, in Milan..really IMPRESSIVE, despite Seeb being ill that night and they had to cut the setlist a little bit. I reviewed a couple of their album on metal.it, love both of them..but I love all of their discography :D

[@metalequine]

I'd also suggest "Born to survive" by Myrath.

[@brendo9672]

Orden Ogan are amazing. You should check the Danish band Wuthering Heights. SO UNDERRATED. Kind of like a progressive folk/power metal band

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Saw Orden Ogan last year at Progpower. They were fun!

[@SOLIDERjee]

some songs for you: Ignea - Alga (official video has lots of gear) DOLL＄BOXX - Take my Chance (lots of gear in this one too) Kobra and the Lotus (any song from them) Turisas - Stand up and Fight Kontrust - Butterfly Defect (live from Woodstock poland) or Sock n Doll (official video is one of the most oddest and greatest videos ever) Butcher Babies - I smell a massacre (official video has gear too) Semblant - What Lies Ahead Like a Storm - Become The Enemy (there is dude playign digeridoo that is on fire, do i need to say more) Battle Beast - King for a day Ankor - Holy wolf

[@b0hemianrage414]

I love that you took the time to look up their outfit maker. You are a true gearhead tank. Wind rose are awesome live (saw them supporting gloryhammer) that call and response they do really gets people going. I've actually got a shot of me with Francesco doing a silly beard with my long hair. He and the rest of the band are sweethearts. Francesco admitted the pauldrons sometimes make lifting his arms difficult. 😄 To react to: Drunken Dwarves for fun Winter saga for epic To Erebor for their first single! Kinda bummed that you've seen diggy diggy hole as that song sparks so much joy for me... I suppose there's always the dance remix!

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks man! Yeah, I wish I never saw Diggy Diggy Hole so I could have done a reaction. My wife and I have been singing it around the house all week. Haha

[@galadballcrusher8182]

u need do either their song "Drunken Dwarves" or... their newer Diggy Diggy Hole dance remix that is funny

[@mgunter]

Technically Pro Wrestling is LARP. They role play characters and simulate combat.

[@Woozle1x]

I recommend the first song i heard from wind rose called " To Erebor ". Amazing band i hope to see them live one day

[@patriksjovag1479]

sweet, a premiere!! lets do this!! Oh, btw, recommend Falconer - Clarion call for your musical amusement! have a good one Tank, and as allways, thanks for the Vid!

[@Milano-ug3iu]

Love the fact of the keyboard player with no connection anywhere. Another great reaction (very interesting).

[@michaeltriola3978]

“Surely I won’t like another gimmick ba-why do I even try to resist anymore?!” *adds to playlist*

[@DraxisTheDragon]

Gear comment: "Frontman is using +2 battleaxe of slaying" :D

[@Boerke]

Look at Tank attempting to steal Chase's air drumming schtick at 2:40 😂 I'm going to put this on for the next few hours... Great reaction man!

[@TankTheTech]

Hahahaha. Thanks man!

[@loot5532]

The Returning Race, and Drunken Dwarves are both great songs with videos to check out. I recently got into this band, and it's been really cool to read lyrics

[@cristiaolson7327]

Seconded! Drunken Dwarves is a rollicking banger that gets your head moving and blood high, and The Returning Race has a great vibe that would probably tick the box for Tank's love of folk influences.

[@spadeface8500]

They wear all this stuff live too. Saw them in Nottingham along with Gloryhammer and Beast in Black. Fucking awesome gig.

[@Antonio-tn9cl]

as Italian proud of them, great band, and great reaction as always!!!

[@stevehill9167]

Glad you’ve finally entered the realm of the Dwarves with Wind Rose, you should also check out To Erebor and The Returning Race.

[@umarae27]

Yesterday, a kind Brother steered me to WindRose. Thanks man!! (You know who you are). Thank you, too, Tank, for your enlightening research & especially for your expressions of joy which echo my own.

[@cristiaolson7327]

Yay! This is a really great release from them. You'll probably very much enjoy both Drunken Dwarves (headbanging and rowdy) and The Returning Race (more vibe but powerful).

[@MrIngmarw]

Your tech knowledge is just insane! Thanks for sharing all these reactions 🙏

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you!!!

[@Z_TPI]

As an Italian, I'm ashamed i just found out about these guys now 🤘🇮🇹🇨🇦

[@TankTheTech]

Nothing to be ashamed of! Be proud you guys have so many bad ass bands!

[@Z_TPI]

@@TankTheTech haha i am proud of the amount of awesome metal that comes out of Italy. And living in Canada makes me proud of bands like Unleash The Archers. I know you just did Abyss, but I hope you get to Cleanse The Bloodlines soon haha can never have enough of them No rush, i know you'll get around to it man. Keep up the good fight🤘

[@rbeckrbeck3593]

Saw these supporting Beast in Black and GloryHammer in UK, never heard them before, their track Diggy Diggy Hole is very catchy, you will love it!

[@tacticalbeersupplyunit]

Oh yes! As you said, this is gym music and i have this record on my gym playlist. Best song for me is "Wintersaga", sounds even a little more epic and heavier than this! And from their old stuff, cant go wrong with "to erebor" and "the returning race". Really looking forward to more Wind Rose in the future!

[@necrofear9896]

Not gonna lie, was a bit bummed out that you didn't listen to the song "to erebor" since its some of their earlier stuff. but glad you enjoyed the band. 😁👍

[@patrickschardt7724]

Nice Hootsforce intro music. Wind Rose is awesome. Gotta recommend Ignea, Kobra & The Lotus, Delain, Within Temptation, Seven Kingdoms, Ex Libris, Lacuna Coil, Visions of Atlantis, Twilight Force, Leverage, Brother Firetribe, any variant of Rhapsody/ Rhapsody of Fire, Dream Theater, any of the bands that Jon Oliva and Zak Stevens have been in, Orden Ogan, Mario Hietala’s solo album and his band Tarot, Oceans of Slumber, Ancient Bards, Sanctorium, Helton Prime, and Conception

[@honooryu5374]

Seems i have done my job, finally Wind Rose. Like said, they are nice brothers and I had a wholesome talk, friendly people. Suddenly the urge to retake Khazad-Dum.

[@akiraalbireo397]

Awesome reaction, thanx Tank! 🤘🏼

[@SirValiant2022]

My first time hearing them was also Diggy Diggy Hole, it's also awesome that you know about Larping. I have been doing Larping for over 21 years, and wear 120lbs of armour.

[@TankTheTech]

Holy hell thats a lot!

[@SirValiant2022]

@@TankTheTech it's the suit in my profile pic

[@MarikoHulme]

Diggy Diggy Hole will always be special for me for starting me on this metal journey and watching music reaction videos. Please do the dance remix react for the lols, it also has a comment at the beginning about quarantine

[@Wuthahn_]

What a bummer you listened to Diggy Diggy Hole without us :D I had an Ibanez SZ for years, nice instrument. Pretty heavy though. The early models, like mine, where a little easier to identiy because they had a rather big flame inlay at the 12th fret and no others.

[@greedymetal6743]

Never heard this but it was good. Respect for mentoing BOH!

[@Shaggy00exe]

Thanks, a new band to listen to while working out, they sound great

[@Thnielsen85]

If you do more Wind Rose, be prepared to redefine the concept of "Epic" these guys are incredible!! \m/ if you are a fan of "lord of the Rings" universe, you should check out their song "To Erebor" its amazing! Also an idea for you and your buddy Chase. Do a colaboration in the spirit of halloween, and do "Ice Nine Kills" with one of their songs from the album "The Silver Scream" they are based on horror movies. they are freaking awesome! \m/

[@kevinworrick773]

Because Napalm records has allot of kick ass bands

[@CailynCara]

in slightly cheesier fashion have you looked at Grailknights? think 90's saturday morning cartoons meets metal. I would highly recommend "Pumping Iron Power f Joakim Broden". it's solid. gets you pumped up and it's fun!

[@brianpraamsma2607]

I think you would get a kick out of "THE DREAD CREW OF ODDWOOD - Dead Man's Medley". They played with Alestorm on the piratefest tour and their unique instruments include toy piano, irish bouzouki, accordion, concertina, mandolin, and other acoustic instruments to form their "heavy mahogany" band.

[@rozen4260]

From Wind Rose, you should check To Erebor. Other songs by other bands, I suggest Shaarghot - Break your Body or Uman iz jaws, Bullrun - Fire and Hate, Kissin dynamite (feat the baseballs) - Cadillac Maniac.

[@emoharalampiev1590]

Love the Gloryhammer in the background

[@Triskaan]

Yeah, thank you Napalm Record for all the awesome music they've given us !

[@TankTheTech]

Seriously!

[@expressionamidstcacophony390]

Yeah, this track dropped years ago but the music video is from this month I think. I was surprised that the bare track on youtube had bugger all views. Hell, this reaction might get more! Definitely a track overdue for its moment in the spotlight.

[@carlinom.7005]

yep 😊 Dwarf Metal on stage

[@EnricoCicilloni]

Yesssss finally! Thank you man!

[@warweasel2901]

For the tank facts, it would be kinda funny of a small tank dragged it into position on screen

[@TankTheTech]

YES!!!

[@aprilvoecks5877]

Especially on the Sabaton reactions... But on a serious note: cool as it would be, only if it doesn't increase time worked on these videos too much. I have no clue how much is needed to add an animation.

[@Jacqueline.1964]

Wow, new and totally loved it! And Diggy Diggy Hole is perfect for a good mood :-D Oh! And you should definitely check out Drunken Dwarves. You'll love it!

[@Banzai88211]

You should definately check out Ancient Bards, especially Impious Dystopia. Amazing song. And keeping with the Italian bands, I also think you will really enjoy Frozen Crown

[@TankTheTech]

Tomorrow. 😎

[@Banzai88211]

Awesome :D . Can't wait

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

-.- Oh goddammit. I played a game with my wife and daughter and forgot the time. When i looked at the clock both premieres were over. I apologise oh Master of Facts

[@TankTheTech]

All good buddy!

[@coyotej4895]

Returning Race and Road to Erabor are AWSOME!!!

[@gandyhyoga6942]

As I said in the live chat, the mixing and mastering was made by Simone Mularoni (at least for the past albums), on of the best producers in the business today. And also guitarist from DGM, that I suggest you go check some day in the future :D

[@ruurdterhorst5129]

They play on guitars smitten in Khazad-dûm with elven made strings (probably infused with a hair from Lady Galadriel) Please react to Plini' with the song paper moon 😇 Brothers of metal is also an epic band 👌🏼

[@korvik933]

Tank Recommendations for you :P Epica - Kingdom of Heaven (Live) Avantasia - Scarecow (The Flying Opera, Live)

[@sebastiangrimm4472]

Awesome Song/Band/Reaction 🤘 Some recommendations for you: Callejon - Gottficker Soulbound - Alive In Sanity - Watermark Harpye - Sturmvögel 😊

[@edwardjenkins5146]

these guys are sooo good

[@lamenter7612]

I did not expect this so soon

[@huguitolopez2422]

i would do exactly the same when this music starts to play jejeje.. greetings from Argentina TANK...

[@dutchessfury]

Definitely recommend Wintersaga from this album. Also would highly recommend Brothers of Metal Prophecy of Ragnarok or Njord. They are touring with Wind Rose and Orden Ogan next year and I would love to be there for that lineup. Speaking of Orden Ogan, you should check them out as well. Highly recommend F.E.V.E.R. or Gunman. 🤘

[@TheBreadthatcausedLesMis]

Also have to recommend Brothers of metal Njord is a great song though I also like One. Though I have to also recommend Yggdrasil considering its their most popular song.

[@matthewalbertson5553]

I’ll third Brothers of Metal!

[@Teddy-pf8yy]

I second Wintersaga by Wind Rose. I don't know much of their music yet but it is by far my favorite from what I've heard. I also second Gunman by Orden Ogan. And I 100% fourth Njord by Brothers of Metal. Love what I've heard from them so much so far.

[@oceansoul085]

There and Back Again is one of my favorites from these guys, and I’ll also throw my support behind Njord (or any other Brothers of Metal reaction)

[@FeNueX]

Windrose Drunken Dwarf is my Favorit Song from them :) ps: great reaction btw ^^

[@StergiosMekras]

...thanks Tank, now Diggy Diggy Hole is stuck in my head again... (you bet your ass it's the Wind Rose cover)

[@olivierdecaux1625]

If you like this stuff you should checkout Rhapsody, the band who started the Italian power metal scene, setting all the tropes and clichés of this genere. "Holy thunderforce" live version from the 2005 DVD is a good starting point.

[@Kelly.sapphire]

Almost got to see them at Progpower 2019. But with new government regulations, it is becoming very hard for bands to get Visas to perform here. They were unable to get a Visa so could not come. Hopefully will be able to see them sometime.

[@Mugiwara0No0Luffy]

Hi Tank, if you wanna test some good black metal, you have to try The Great Old Ones (lost carcosa) or Regarde les hommes tomber (a new order) or Penitence Onirique (la cité des larmes) All of them are kicking ass and all are from France.

[@solidballofmetal]

BARUK KHAZAD!! KHAZAD AI-MENU!! I love Italy, i love Metal and i love Dwarvs so i love Wind Rose :)

[@lauraraymakers3122]

Woohoo, more of my favourites! Metal + Lord of the rings, I mean what's not to like right 😉 Saw them together with Nekrogoblikon and Gloryhammer, they were truly amazing live. The costumes are even more impressive up close and performing in the can't be easy. They sounded great live! They didn't expect the crowd that showed up I think, they were so thankful to see a sold out concert hall. They talked to their fans after the concert, very sweet guys. Anyway, got some more recommendations for you as usual: Drunken Dwarves (very upbeat party song) Erebor Winter Saga 🤘

[@Neha-eo9nd]

You should totally check out Lordi lol perfect for halloween stuff too. Maybe try Hard Rock Hallelujah or Monsterman.

[@pastlink]

WIND ROSE WOOOOOOO! Apart from Diggy Diggy Hole, my faves are Drunken Dwarves and To Erebor

[@Soviet_Saguaro]

Have you ever heard Summoning? Austrian black metal band and every album of theirs is Lord of The Rings themed. Really cool stuff

[@Samsquantch82]

Fuck yeah, I love Hootsforce as the background. HOOTSFORCE, ARISE!

[@ciflores0]

* Sees thumbnail * NICE!, I gotta recommend Diggy Diggy Hole... * Watches video * Oh That crossover between Metal and Minecraft/Yogscast is bigger than I thought heh.

[@siggedrake]

And a ”play off”: 82:nd all the way - sabaton vs amaranthe

[@Teddy-pf8yy]

Yes!!! Let's goooooo!! This needs to happen. Both versions are so good. And it would let him continue with Sabaton and check out Amaranthe at the same time.

[@caringancoystopitum4224]

Huh now, only after the second time listening to this song, I realize what they sound like... Their music and the vocals in certain parts sound very much like some songs of the band Turisas. Not a bad thing, I simply noticed that. I think it'd be interesting if you'd check out some songs from Turisas, tbw.

[@SlavomirSihtric]

Oh, there's another band in Tolkien universe, Battlelore. Check Journey to Undying Lands!

[@Kacsinszki]

This ia so funny! The KZbin just suggested me this somg om the main page :D

You should check out these bands - Orden Ogan, Powerwolf, Grand Magus, Equillibrium, Brothers of Metal, Bloodbound, Avatar, Arkona, Mono Inc, Trollfest, Turmion Katilot, sorry if you've checked any of them out, recently discovered your channel. Also, big Bears fan, big game tonight.

Yeah buddy! I did Powerwolf but it got blocked. Haha. DA BEARS!

[@DatDudeVince]

@@TankTheTech I definitely think you'd like Orden Ogan

[@darilsteelbone1278]

1st: Yes, Napalm Records is (one of) the biggest label for Metal music in Europe. So they are always near ... 🤣 2nd: Wind Rose are really great. Excellent choice! 🤘 3rd: I'm deep into Fantasy and RPG stuff, dwarves are best! ⛏ 4th: Thank you lots, Tank! You are great and I love your videos! 👍 Keep rocking, mate!

Wind rose - to erebor Ade - vene vedi vici

[@lievenbormann6797]

For epicness check out "To Erebor". For fun check out "Drunken Dwarves". Cheers from Germany.

[@brianalberico9171]

Suggestion: Delain, Hands of Gold (featuring Alissa White-Gluz) live at Paradiso. Another Napalm band. Napalm has a killer lineup at the moment.

[@Jaguarmaserati]

Check out Drunken Dwarves by Wind Rose, you'll get a laugh as well as enjoying the music.

[@maximilianschultz8244]

He'd better have a battle axe for a mic stand, or that's a huge missed opportunity.

[@replay759]

React to Tarja: I Walk Alone, its her first song after nightwish and the song is so good especially the chorus. It really hits you. Its also response to nightwishes Bye bye beautiful

[@Superhuworld]

Well couldn't go wrong with Drunken Dwarves. It has a music video if I remember well.

[@donaldballman2825]

For more bands like this look up the music genre called Norse Metal

[@esaedvik]

I hope the vocalist has a mic stand made to look like that axe...

"there it is" removes hat and starts headbanging 😂 epic

[@whitewingedkrad]

Maybe you could check out some visual kei music E.g Xjapan - Rusty Nail D - Der Konig der Dunkelheit Versailles - Vampire or Silent Knight (live) for some guitar solos.

[@radioactive_radek]

Great video, like always ;) Please, not only Napalm Records, Blind Guardian and Nightwish Are Nuclear Blast's 😅

[@katka5155]

Please reacting Wind Rose - The Wolves' Call, Falconer - Lord of the Blacksmith, Mindtraveller, Wasteland and Wuthering heights The Last Tribe,

[@theeremla]

If you wanna hear an insane solo (both musically and technically) you really should check out Fury of the Storm (live) by Dragonforce! Trust me, you'll be in for a shock!

Checks out Marko Hietala In Tarot Heavy Metal On Ice Live- Guardian Angel and Things That Crawl at Night from Finland .

[@MrAthil]

Awesome you did Wind Rose! Now to elf metal 😂 Frederico Gatti is using Ufip cymbals after what i can see, italian brand. The hardware is tama, and 99% sure he is using tama drums 🤘 The outfit they wear is probaly made out of Worbla or so. Not too heavy!

[@mathewyerry2072]

This is actually a less goofy song and this is awesome

[@Spacefrisian]

Might want to give the Japanese Band "Unlucky Morpheus"" with the song Cadaver - revadaC a listen. And or the German band "Feuerschwanz"with Das elfte gebot. (oh that german band is also under Napalm Records)

[@HALberdier17]

If he does Cadaver/Revadac he needs to watch the sheet music version. Though my favorite from Unlucky Morpheus is "Unending Sorceress"

[@Spacefrisian]

@@HALberdier17 Yeah that might also be easier.

[@donaldballman2825]

You should check out their song Drunken Dwarf

[@zjjblitz]

Just a suggestion you need to react to the song form Babymetal Oh Majinai it's features Joakim the lead singer of Sabaton. So it's definitely a fun crossover.
