Metal Band Reacts! | Amorphis - The Bee (LIVE!)

[@TheJama64]

Next Amorphis, Death of a King

[@Norpal]

Amorphis are a fantastic band and this song is one of their better ones, but whoof the mixing on this live video is awful. Doesn't really do them justice.

[@SuiteClarity]

Agreed, the mix left a lot to be desired.

[@stardustie]

Yup this one defo should've been the official lyric vid.

[@villealakorkko21]

Yep. Can't hear drums, bass, synths.. anything.. only lead guitar and almoust raw vocalmix 👍

[@bigg2988]

@@stardustie Agreed, the guys oughta relisten for full impact. But even so I think they got the heads-up about this being inordinary band.

[@Zardagbum]

@@SuiteClarity Especially since the album version is with Anneke Van Giersbergen.

[@bookssnoozeandrocknroll1016]

Thank you so much for checking out Amorphis! If you want to listen to more of their songs, I have three recommendations for you. For a more 'lullaby'-ish one, go for Silent Waters (I like the live version from Oulu). For a duet, check out Amongst Stars feat. Anneke van Giersbergen. And finally, though they have so many good ones, there's My Kantele, which has been recorded in a ton of versions, even acoustic.

[@AliceAngstrom]

Seconded on Amongst Stars! That's such a sweet piece. Tricky to find a live version, sadly, but the music video is a great choice to react to as well.

[@FuneralCuervo]

Anneke is worth checking out anyways, so why not when sings with Amorphis.

[@MrSpeedyy1991]

Amorphis is my 7 year old daughters favourite band, we saw them live last summer and she loved every second of the show🤘

[@glennlitts3922]

Kamelot - The Haunting (live from One Cold Winter's Night) you won't regret it!!!!

[@juyifan7933]

Kamelot is an american band, they probably know it already

[@Tallas_]

Ju Yifan Kamelot may originally be American power metal, but both Khan and Karevik are European, and so is Oliver. They are also more popular in Europe. It's a good suggestion.

[@briantracy8476]

What Glenn said!

Thanks for reacting to this finnish band! Keep on rockin!

[@robertpetre9378]

I saw Amorphis live ages ago in London. They were very good.

[@toinenosoite3173]

Thank you! You are incredibly funny, which I absolutely needed after a toughish day.

[@9999watts]

Phenomenal band, had the privilege of seeing them open for Delain in Dallas back in October. I also saw recently that they are going to be opening for Nightwish on their rescheduled 2021 tour

[@agnieszkazelaznicka6330]

Amorphis :) I have loved that band for about 20 years :) happy you are reacting to them :)

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Greetings from Finland & thanks for your great reaction to yet another Finnish metal band Amorphis & their very talented vocalist Tomi Joutsen. P.S. Frozen Crown totally exists & they are an Italian power metal band. Couldn't make out the song's name though.

[@nimasharifi7999]

I used to listen to Amorphis before this singer replaced the last one long time ago. I really gotta go listen to the albums I missed. I think I will revisit their old albums as well... feeling nostalgic :)

[@Eluarelon]

Just did that, Listened to anything from Karelian Isthmus to Queen of Time and had a blast doing it. There aren't many bands that can say they made music for 26 years without releasing a really bad album in that time. Amorphis is definitely one of them. In a world where quality was the deciding factor, they would headline Wacken, that's for sure.

[@Kvasaari]

The new Amoprhis is much better than the old one ;)

[@oo.llpee.7457]

Another great Finnish band, and one of the ancestors of Finnish metal. Their lyrics are often based on Finnish epic poetry and mythology Kalevala. This song is not even close to my favorites, especially this live version. I suggest that you try "Death of a King" (official video).

[@dickinsonia4132]

Aw man, it should have been the offical lyric video. The Bee is probably my favorite Amorphis song

[@SuiteClarity]

Round 2?

[@dickinsonia4132]

@@SuiteClarity Hell yeah!

[@SturmSwiftaxe]

Amorphis - Death of a King would be a good one to react to as well; there's an official video for it, so the sound mixing is far better quality as well, and you can actually hear the drums ;)

[@lujalainen1]

great to see this band also in this channel,thanx to great reaction. other great finnish metal band in world conquest. have great day there.

[@baza1225]

STAM1NA - Valtiaan uudet vaateet Awesome song and funny musicvideo!

[@ericfisher4736]

Due to the crappy live recordings, I usually only recommend Amorphis studio songs. This one wasn't so bad since it is a relatively slower song carried by the synth which usually pushes through well enough to make the recording listenable. They've only had one really well produced live show, "Forging the land of thousand lakes (Oulu)," so if you really want live Amorphis you should check out songs from that show (Majestic Beast and Elegy Medley are two I'd recommend). For studio songs, I'd recommend "The Four Wise Ones" (low and high growls), "Death of a King" (clean/growl mix), "Wrong Direction" (mostly clean vocals). If you get a chance to see them live, I'd recommend it. I've been to a couple of their shows here in the Chicago area and they always sound great. They've been around long enough that they know how to put on a good show. Plus they've opened for Nightwish many times so you may be able to see both bands in one night!

[@damienmaynard8892]

Country is just "Farm Emo"!!! Choice song! Doubly entertaining, again, you 3 and the video.

[@SuiteClarity]

Farm emo 😂😂😂

[@Chocybananas]

Awesome video as always! Can I suggest Blind Guardian to you? They have loads of amazing songs, Wheel of Time being one of them. I keep looking forward to your stuff, thanks a lot!

[@chilly2go]

Melodic death metal beanie treat!

[@jhgrc]

You should not miss Silent Waters from Amorphis. I think album versions are far better incl the bee than live mixes they have.

[@sylwia5595]

For a nice guitar solo, check out their Death of a King (official music video, very cool). Also, suggesting to put in the Beanie another amazing Finnish band: Wintersun, song Sons of Winter and Stars, live studio rehearsal at Sonic Pump Studio

[@TheAdrianSmith]

Great band. My former band opened for them 3 years ago here in USA

[@AnthroFiend]

Yesss! Queen of Time was my favorite metal album to come out in 2018. So many fond memories of listening to this song. I'd love to hear you take on Seven Spires-Drowner Of Worlds.

[@bighead074]

Just discovered you through your Nightwish reactions and figured a couple other might be necessary for you. Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (Live at Sonic Pump Studios), Dimmu Borgir - Gateways (Live in Oslo - Forces of the Northern Lights), Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session) which is then followed by Jinjer - Who is Gonna be the One (Live) - I apologize as I post on all the videos I see from now on with the same response. Gonna add another with Ne Obliviscari - Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope (Live in Colorado) I love to see everyone react to these. They're all phenomenal in their own ways.

[@p3BA]

Definitely check the studio version of this.

[@someroskilde]

Cool choice guys! And congrats, you might have heard the coolest growl in the industry :-) As already commented below and earlier by myself, please ensure AMONGST STARS is also in your beanie!

[@ChrisPage68]

They're supporting Nightwish on their tour next year. I bet McKinzie could sing both parts. She wouldn't be the first woman to cover Amorphis, singing and growling. Try "Minniva Official". Minniva is a Norwegian singer who does great Metal covers.

[@evacody1249]

Cool fact last year the had a co headline tour with the band Delain in North America there drummer pulled double duty. First he played with Amorphis then played with Delain.

[@Spugedelia77]

We have Some amazing metal bands here in Funland (Finland)

[@braindeadstonehead9500]

Yes ! One of my all time fav bands. Sadly there isnt many good live videos of theirs except for the Tales from A Thousand Lakes dvd. You gotta check out Silver Bride from that and Death of A King’s official video and My Kantele for their softer acoustic side. Nice video guys keep ‘em coming !

[@Kodaemon]

Silver Bride is the best song ever recorded about a sex doll.

[@drtoler92]

I love how they got down to biz

[@timmyers2093]

Please add Domination- Live from Band Maid to the Beanie of (so called) Justice! Its a crime it has not given you more than 1 Band Maid song to react to. You guys are way behind the curve thanks to that silly beanie! Thanks also for the great reactions, I learn a little more about music every time I watch one of your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@brothernemiel6465]

Standing in front of the stage it sounded much better than the video recording ^^ Seen Amorphis several times before and after and they are amzing live and one of my favorite bands...actually they were the last live band I saw (as co-headliner together with Dimmu Borgir) in the cursed year 2020. Go catch them if touring is a thing again!

[@kah227]

Seen them 4 times 2 times in Sweden and 2 in Finland.

[@lasse4416]

Oh cmoon i listened to ”Make a man out of you” in repeat yesterday and ”dope hair guitar guy” starts with that!

[@sansintierra]

Have we talked already about our lord and savior Devin Townsend? He has pretty well-recorded live songs out there with Devin Townsend Project, and once you listen to Devin your life won't be the same. My suggestions are "Deadhead" (the Plovdiv version is mindbending), "Awake" from the By a Thread concert, "Kingdom" which has become a staple to reactions and "Juular" if you go for an official video of sorts.

[@revylokesh1783]

Can't go wrong with Amorphis!👍

[@Cariad1709]

I've got tickets to see Nightwish in May and Amorphis is supporting them, I'm so excited to see both bands in one night

[@DJS-DJ]

The crowd is off because sound takes time to reach them. You can also notice how the clapping moves back in a wave at the speed of sound at 343m/s. So it would take about a full second from stage to back of this particular crowd.

I'm a girl who loves a growly roar! And he has a lovely clear voice. Now, if he can just get the hair out of his face... how about The Toque of Truth?

[@MY1BLACKCAT]

excellent.cool

[@bigg2988]

They are hard. They are tender. They are melodic. They are progressive. They sing of death. They sing of life. They tell of myths. They are a myth. They are AMORPHIS! And on personal note, Tomi Joutsen is a universal weapon of a vocalist in possession of the "sexiest" growl I have heard - along with that smoooth baritone. Full package. Btw, from the few Finnish that I have gathered (YES, also these guys are Finnish legends - it's a land of legends!), "joutsen" litterally means "a swan". So the guy has his proper ancestors in Kalevala... and the thousand lakes are his home. :))) \m/

[@jonhorrocks8999]

If you want to see the best ever artist response to out-of-sync crowd clapping then you NEED Devin Townsend - Deadhead, live at Royal Albert Hall. :)

[@hugosereno1059]

Guys, the Beanie of Justice needs a refill. Here's some suggestions you'll enjoy: Dimmu Borgir - The Mourning Palace (live Wacken) Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope (live Colorado 2016) Therion - In Remembrance (live in Mexico city)

[@Misha020]

You guys are awesome! You should check out another great metal band from Finland called "Beast in Black" with the song "Blind and Frozen" I'm sure you won't be dissapointed. Great unusual vocalist, and I'm sure you will appreciate drummer and guitarists also. Great content guys! And your music is awesome :)

[@crabuki1273]

I gotta admit, I used to sing that Mulan song in the car with the kids. Good times. I love the dude headbanging at the beginning to melodic synths and a delicate guitar loop. I also like how the impact of the key change on how hard the song might be to sing is negated by him going to the extreme vocals. Nothing's out of your range if you're just going to roar through it. Not my bag, but not bad either. Oh... that Suite Clarity symbol... is that your own version of the Majesty symbol? I mean, I can see the A for Anthony and the M for McKinsie... but where's the E for Ern? :-)

[@MrBielok]

Time for some classics! Rainbow, stargazer...

If you're doing ABCs I'm sure you have B already planned out for the next one but if not then "Soul Evisceration" by Bloodbath live from the Wacken Carnage would be a good one. That song has some drums right there. Amongst Stars is another good Amorphis song if you ever revisit them. Great video!

[@RustBunny]

Finnish pioneers of progressive death metal coming up at the same time as Opeth. They had their proggy years and have moved back towards their earlier sound without leaving everything they've done in between behind. For a live performance, I think Forging The Land Of Thousand Lakes if a far better view and representation of the band, coming at the time of Magic And Mayhem, where the band re-recorded some of their early material.

[@jaunecosula6793]

[@nigeldepledge3790]

Their overall sound reminded me somewhat of Anathema, particularly the clean vocals. Maybe the two singers were using the same techniques. Also the combination of a really heavy growl with synths is strongly reminiscent of early Anathema.
