Northern Kings - Double up Reaction - My Way / Creep

[@marcgrote7540]

Both songs were really well done. I think that their cover of "My Way" may be my favorite version of the song that I ever heard! I'm looking forward to hearing more from these guys. Keep rocking, Struthy!

[@madhatter6549]

Tony Kakko has a pretty great band Called Sonata Arctica- Pretty sure they opened for Nightwish, a time or two. Tony has also joined Nightwish on stage for a few songs. I was surprised to see you've never reacted to them. Let me know if you want some links.. They also did a pretty awesome Metallica cover of Fade To Black.. Rock on, Struthy!!!!

[@finmotoman75]

Nice you reacted to Norther Kings. I have seen them live, and discussing with Marco and Tony after gig 🤩 Have you listened already their cover of Kylie's - I Should Be So Lucky, they twisted the "meaning" and feeling of the whole song 😁😄

[@marjokauppinen9784]

It is even creepier than Creep! Love it!

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

So that you won't forget 😉 Northern Kings - Hello J Ahola legendary live kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSYm2aaqciefrM The leather pants, the everflowing hair, the high screams.. (Note this is med quality old vid, so your call, but I tell you that it's one of the most epic performances that Jarkko has ever done...option B album kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jRaoV9rZtpq6s)

[@Piia2023]

There you have Kai Hahto on drums, Marko on quitar...and Jarkko...no words but epic...

Maybe double up Hello hmm? First album and then going crazy live 😉

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

😘

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

@Struthy NEVER NEED TO EXPLAIN if you want to hear more Jarkko... As you gradually become more and more addicted, we expect you to need AT LEAST a daily dose, lol. In the end your life may just become a soundtrack...you were warned 😉

J-P Leppäluoto has been a very important face in the Finnish Metal scene for ages now, but he can't be really named as "the singer of X band" - He had Charon for a while, he sang on Poisonblack's very first album, he's been with Raskasta Joulua since the start, obviously Northern Kings, Dark Sarah, and those were just the ones I don't need to google. I was looking for a Charon song for you to listen to, but it seems they were filmed with the world's first video camera or something. So have a go at Dark Sarah instead, this song is called "Dance With the Dragon". It's pretty darn amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSWiZaKmLmdl9k I also need to link you Poisonblack, a band very near and dear to me. As with Charon, the one music video with J-P is practically prehistoric quality, so you'll have to do with the singer after him (the band's guitarist, who was the sole songwriter/composer from the start to the end). "Home Is Where the Sty Is" was a single from their last album "Lyijy" and it's a great portrait of a Finnish male stereotype in both, song and video. Energetic, gut-punching hard rock. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2bWZ6yNmdibeZY

Poisonblack- Mercury falling Poisonblack- Rush Sentenced- No one there

[@MissSylvia67]

Love Creep sung by JP. Huge fan of everything JP has ever done. Charon being my favourite. The song Colder is one of the few songs they made a video for, it's amazing. I also love Poisonblack's first album that he sings on - The State, All else is hollow, Love Infernal, The Kiss of Death are my favourites off that album. The band Dark Sarah is so amazing too, especially Dance with the Dragon that was already mentioned. Their best song. Would love it if you reacted to that one or to Colder by Charon! 😍

[@zenleto]

I'll repeat - sweet!

[@maxwinterwolf66]

Check Powerless Trio. It was a project by Marco Hietala, JP Leppaluoto and Ari Koivunen (sorry if I misspelled a name :P ) and they did some nice acoustic covers :)

[@Struthy]

I have been meaning to get around to checking this project out. Lol & I butcher foreign names on a daily basis so all sweet with a mis-spelling :) Take care #URock!

[@GroovyVintageLady]

Jarkko is the best voice of Finland in my opinion. I'm happy you like it :)

[@Struthy]

He is indeed a Finnish national treasure & I'll be checking out more of his work mark my words :)

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

@@StruthyLike the sound of that 😘

[@GroovyVintageLady]

@@Struthy you can check Terasbetoni - Jarkko was bassist and vocalist.Beautiful finnish metal in finnish :) or AHOLA - his own band , or maybe Dreamtale's album from 2005 , "Difference"Jarkko is vocalist on this album.

[@GroovyVintageLady]

@@Struthy kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ3VamScZb2bo5o beautiful metal ballad .it shows a huge Jarkko's talent, in ordinary ballad:)

[@carinalundstrom7566]

Jarkko Ahola reminds me of a young Ronnie James Dio, Finland have many great singers, I love Marko Hietala too

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

Maybe I'm mistaken or am I seeing some early signs of addiction towards Jarkko's vocals here lol

[@TheStefan6969]

🤘🤘 Sweet!!!! 😁🤘🤘

[@TheStefan6969]

Okay, they made me actually like Creep!!! lol I'm not a fan of Thom York really. Or maybe his more core fans. But hey to each their own. I liked this though!!! 😁🤘🤘

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

So that you won't forget 😉 Northern Kings - Hello by J Ahola, legendary live / The leather pants, the everflowing hair, the epic high screams...kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYSYm2aaqciefrM Note this is med quality 360p vid no HD / dolby surroud, your call, but it is the most EPIC live performance Jarkko has ever done. A double up, starting with perfect (boring) album version kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jRaoV9rZtpq6uVnd going crazy with the live vibes, hmm? (I managed to delete this and a long chain of discussion...? So redo..)

[@ecowarriorprincessx]

@Piia Lindqvist2019 And chain continued... Piia seconding the live, highlighting Kai Hahto on the drums and Marco on quitar,... and no words but epic for Jarkko...(Piia maybe you kindly redo your comment and then I delete this...sorry screwed up so small buttons hey)

[@Piia2023]

@@ecowarriorprincessx yes...she was in awe of Jarkkos singing and that he has never taken not one singing lessons...hope now for Jarkkos Hello :)

[@ChrisPage68]

Well, that was a game of two halves - My Way was excellent, but Creep was utterly dire.

[@samanthar1214]

I think if I'd never heard Radiohead do Creep, I would have really liked this versions, but it's one of my favorite songs, ever. This version was cool, though.

[@Piia2023]

🤘 give me your address and I send you some aussidollars I still have from my Aussi trip some years ago :) thanks for the My Way reaction...now I rest my case 🙏 from here we can go with more Ahola 👀 anything from Ave Maria to Queen...kiitos 🤘
