TOMMY JOHANSSON / Chris D - MURDER IN THE SKIES (Gary Moore) REACTION

#garymoore #tommyjohansson #reaction
TOMMY SAYS: Time for another Gary Moore song - ”Murder in the skies”
This time I have the one, the only, the most bearded - Chris Davidsson with me on lead bass and lead vocals.
FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS 100% TRUE!!
I knew before, but I forgot that the plane crash Gary Moore sings about in this song happened on the 1st of September 1983.
Evidently so……this means (by 100% incredible coincidence) that this cover is released on the 40th anniversary of that horrible crash that this songs is about.
On the same day - 40 years later.
How is that even possible?
Hope you will enjoy our tribute to Gary Moore, played on Gary Moore’s old guitar that he used between 1986-1989.
Thanks to Chris Davidsson for joining in on this one!
Don’t forget to check him out on his KZbin channel:

Completely blown away by Chris's vocals. Really happy to have supplied this PRS guitar to Tommy. He is one of our favourite customers for 2023. Such an amazingly good quality person to deal with. These guys have heart muscle in abundance.

[@peterheider6557]

The song "murder in the skies" is dedicated to the passengers of the Korean Airline Flight who where shot down by a russian fighter plane on 1. of September 1983 for allegedly violating airspace. 285 people died. It's very touching that Tommy released this cover on the 40. anniversary.

[@danielolson5378]

All while playing on Gary's former PRS (Paul Reed Smith) guitar!

[@rogerdogger6969]

Thank you for pointing that out this is something that actually should be in the main page of the song and it may well be a I haven't been on it yet

[@stefanforschner]

Thank you for the Info 🤟

[@RltchieI]

269 people & I may have planted a seed commenting on one of his other Moore covers about covering this song for the 40th anniversary 4 months earlier. Ironically the flight number was 007 the code number of James Bond who had many missions involving Russians.

[@szabolcsmagyar5909]

The Bassist is huge!!! His voice is very - very good and powerful!!! Where was he until now??? This year's favorite!!! But heir!

[@pattibonaparte2204]

Holy " Blow my hair back"!!! Totally Far Out Man!❤😊

[@jregns]

The only thing better than Tommy on a Friday is Tommy and Chris on a Friday! 🤘🏻❤‍🔥🤘🏻

[@brittjannesath2539]

Outstanding cover from Tommy and Chris. Gary Moore’s guitar could not be in better hands than Tommys. Playing it like Gary did. 😀🇸🇪

[@pernillaeriksson8594]

For all of you, tired of performers with sexappeal but no skill, singing massproduced popsongs: This is what true talent looks like!💯 ❤💯

[@DanielaSza2]

I agree! ❤

[@user-ud8cm1fr6l]

Thats so true artist today are more about looks than performance and skills.

[@catarinasyngvesson3854]

Ha ha, your so funny! Halloween Theme. This 2 guys are like siblings. Such powerful voices and excellent instrumental skills. Can't stop listen!

[@miafranlund6982]

They were great right? Playing murder in the sky on Garys own guitar must be an epic feeling since he is such a huge fan. Nice and fun reaction as always my friend! But calling Chris D Swedish Stapleton? I love Chris D:s voice, but nope, only one person in Sweden that can take the spot of Stapleton, and that is Chris Kläfford.

[@brianfediuk7691]

I believe Gary's sprit is the reason Tommy put this up on exactly Sept 1st. Thanks Tommy, and Gary will never be forgotten.

[@rogerdogger6969]

I took a disco nap and woke up just in time for the premiere of this song omigod I thought my brain was going to explode. I wasn't able to play it Loud because it was 4 in the morning and I didn't want to wake other people up so listening to it with the volume up (headphones. Duh...I could have used headphones) only right now happening while watching this reaction video. Ask for last night I cried what an amazing song those guys killed it killed it killed it maybe not the right choice of words but it's pretty much all I can say. These are two of the most exciting performers I have seen in a long time and they're operating any physical vacuum it's just amazing. To be honest I wouldn't mind marrying Tommy he is golden in so many ways.

[@sivsjolander8644]

Thanks for your reaction.👍 🎸 Hug from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@bettyjohorne8192]

Fabulous!

[@barbaraemmett8007]

Awesome

[@angelakeeling6362]

Wow I had no idea about the plane crash!! That’s spooky 😮 bloody awesome cover!!! Love Tommy and Chris together 🤍🤍

[@lindagesang2066]

Wow ❤️

[@user-ud8cm1fr6l]

What a pair Chris and Tommy, loved it and hope to see more from them. Do you know OSN I have a Rush t-shirt from their last and final tour in Sweden and I washed it for the first time today with my bare hands. That 3 hour concert I will remember forever.

[@robinkarns7512]

I already loved Tommy but now there's another one? Wow! 😊

[@deniseduncan7363]

I absolutely appreciate your reviews, humor and insights so freely given. Thank you for a great review even if you did choke me up with the recollection about that guitar. So happy for him.

[@marita.n6125]

Two Majestica's, can't be anything but good. The original song is more than 7 minutes, a long intro and the end sounds like a plane going down ...💥. No, I don't think Chris D looks like Stapleton 😅. But we have an excellent singer who actually looks like him, his name is Chris Kläfford 😁.

[@TRoos21]

Galet 😮❤

[@laxar2009]

love this🥰

[@sasunoma]

This is so awesome ❤ just love it❤

[@mikaellindberg8675]

Thank you for doing this reaction video! I love Gary Moore and the music he created! May he rest in peace! And I love you for reacting to one of my favourite GM songs ever done!

[@DanielaSza2]

That was awesome guys! Majestic(A)

[@chrisgertz8250]

These two sound so good together! Great Friday. Have a great weekend OSN!

[@CarinaLenita]

Can't wait for this reaction. 😆

[@dlind1985]

... and they did! 🙏😌🎸😎🎸 . . . 🎸 . . .

[@plisken8799]

Great video

[@joacimfrobom7057]

I think Chris is a deadringer for Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees but with a lot more hair. Even his teeth look like Barrys… or is it just me??

[@larseriksson6603]

i see that we have the same type of CPAP masks. :D

[@erkjan]

Great reaction...but Sweden have Ghost also..not only ABBA ;)! Chris lives just 9 k from me here in Sweden ;)

[@martinkasper197]

And of course Sabaton and Majestica...😂😂😂

[@erkjan]

@@martinkasper197 Yes and many more ;)

[@nadinehoogenboezem4798]

New fave Tommy song

[@lassekarlsson5385]

real good cover

[@krb64172]

Many good points mate, you made me subscribe lol

[@maritnordin6017]

OldSkuleNerd listening and be like; "-Ok, just take my money!"

[@oldmanjimh3165]

These guys are amazing.

[@angelakeeling6362]

Loving your hair OSN ❤

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Awww thank you

[@liys540]

Chris david is more like zakk wylde in Sweden and yngwie in bass

[@ulrikeriemenschneider6154]

Tommy and chris a top team

[@MarielleSweden]

I must disagree ☺️ Swedish Chris Stapleton is Chris Kläfford. You should check him too out if you do not already have. His Kitchen sessions are great 😍

[@carinarodebak9419]

Came here to make very much the same remark. Our other Chris K is more of Chris S.

[@miximus1]

🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@kiwasstory]

Nightwish should have grabbed that Bass player. Imagine him with Floor?

[@marinamucic908]

Jukka is an a fantastic bassist and I really like him in Nightwish, but Chris is probably the only bassist that could do Marko's vocal parts justice. Troy is doing a great job though, considering he's not a metal singer

[@martinkasper197]

Nightwish is mostly 🇫🇮. So it was obvious they took someone from 🇫🇮. In addition Jukka comes from Wintersun like the drummer.

[@Maria844Eiva]

Tommy is just to good for his own sake .. now I want Chris and Tommy to do duets as a side gig to Majestica 🤣 .. it will never be a third Majestica album .. 😱 .. oh by the way the Tommy mustache from last week .. it should have it’s own fanpage … just saying 🤣

[@soderlund3610]

All swedes are musicians

[@larteonceagain]

I'm glad that Tommy skipped the "scale exercise" the first minute, if I might be honest.

[@angelakeeling6362]

Women’s wheelhouses 😂😂😂

[@stefanstock953]

so sad that none of you KZbinrs react to the original at first....the great respect Tommy has for Gary should be a role model for you all
