Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. "Human metronome" Kai Hahto is on of the best drummers of the world. Oh man, they all are very good musicians and i give you guys few good videos of their skills. Drummer Kai Hahto and bassist Jukka Koskinen play now in Nightwish.

[@MrMasapoika]

Incredible stamina, considering that how Kai kept it so tight through whole song 🙏

[@justdave9610]

You mentioned having high hopes for this song which reminded me that Nightwish has a cover of Pink Floyd's song High Hopes that is really amazing and showcases Marko on vocals. I have high hopes that you'll check it out sometime

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

I wasn't into growling and screams until I was introduced to this song. There's so much going on, it took four or five listens for me to be able to sit back and enjoy it as a whole. I bought the CD it's on. (Yes, I'm 68 and I still like my vinyl and CDs over streaming. I must have going on for a 1,000 in my collection.) I mentioned Evergrey in a previous comment, but would also recommend Polish prog band Riverside. "The Curtain Falls Reality Dream live HD" is with their original guitarist, who unfortunately died of a heart attack in 2016.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

I've done some Riverside, great band, I will do more. I will check out Evergrey. Thank you Jeannette.

Hi Jeannette. I'm glad you liked this song..and you purchased the album. What a brilliant band. I'm a 64 yr old rock and metal freak...who like you love my vinyl and CD's. I do love tuning to the reaction channels and hearing people's reactions to bands I like...older and newer. A couple of bands that you might like to check out are Opeth and Dream Theater. Both bands are classed as progressive metal. There are growls and clean vocals on early Opeth...but the last 4 albums are just clean vocals... Dream Theater just have clean vocals. I do like Evergrey. Keep on rockin' Jeannette. Take care. Peace from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

@@alanbrown7412 Hi Alan. Doug Helvering does quite a few Opeth and Dream Theatre reactions and breakdowns on his channel. I quite like Opeth, but for some reason can't get into Dream Theatre. I'm a fan of Liquid Tension Experiment, and, completely different, doom metal band Oceans of Slumber. I've also just discovered Earthside. Rock on! From Sheffield UK.

[@alanbrown7412]

@@jeannettesimpson9778 Hi Jeannette. I'm sorry for only just replying...time flies. Thank you so much for your reply. Oh yes I have checked out the Daily Doug. I know what you mean about DT...even though I have been a fan from the first album...I know they are like marmite to a lot of people. I have to admit that I do not like the Astonishing album. I'm definitely into Liquid Tension Experiment. There are so many bands that I like ...going back to the classics .from Deep Purple, Free, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Mountain.... through to Metallica, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Porcupine Tree...I have started now 🤣🤣. It's good to know that you are living in Sheffield. Have a good evening. Keep on Rockin'. Take care, stay safe. Peace . Alan👍✌️🤘☮️

[@Frankamaria]

bassplayer Jukka is currently with Nightwish, so Kai, the drummer ;) so Nightwish is Nightsun ^^ (or Winterwish lol)

[@vivk1593]

🤣👍

[@deed5811]

Nightwishintersun!

[@alanbrown7412]

Hi Todd. I'm so glad you reacted to this song dude... another one of my favourite Wintersun songs. Infact I love them all. What a band. Loved your reaction dude... your idea of Wintersun with a orchestra is brilliant. I would like to see that happen. Another track to check out is Land of Snow and Sorrow...another great one in my opinion...but a bit shorter. Looking forward to your next reaction. Take care. Peace man from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️

[@ivandraginov134]

Another great song by them is Loneliness (Winter). It has a very different vibe from those two but amazing nonetheless.

[@Ron-ei5eh]

its very emotional. Maybe Jari's best vocal performance?

[@Patralgan]

I've seen the band live four times. Always great time

[@moniquevanaken2638]

Lovely to see you enjoyed it! What an avalanche of sound huh?😂 If I'm correct there were about 1670 tracks that had to be mixed!! Every time I am amazed by the speed the guitarists played, sooo good! And indeed the bassplayer, Jukka, or Jukki NW calls him, the quit one haha. I like his playing and the sound of his bass! And then Kai..what can you say...phenomenal! A great buch of musicians!

[@sawolax017]

And 2 men in this band is Nightwish now... nice!

[@keijovalikangas2126]

Now we talking

[@RandallMorris222]

Todd, have you reacted to any Unleash the Archers? Most of their work in power metal, which is why this track made me think of it. People usually start with "Awakening." There's a good live studio version. Another good one is "Tonight we Ride."

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

I really like your reaction! Check the last one from same session "The Land of Snow and Sorrow"

[@Pappa_66]

Thank you! What can you say!? Beast is a beast! Jukka is the most relaxed base player ever. Maybe "Loneliness" (instrumental) next? Something different.

[@NightwishArena]

It's not that they got through this song, but this whole session. This was the last song, and they had a long day at the studio. For more symphonic metal, I suggest that you check out Dimmu Borgir. They are like darker brother of Nightwish, and their arrangements are amazing. Start from their best known song, Mourning Palace (Live at Wacken 2012): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiZn2aQnbCqqpY

[@athanasioskall9473]

A new subscriber here, just watching your 2 reactions on my favourite group. I'm an old "metalhead" and into many genres of music all my life. I enjoyed your reaction and comments. As others said you should check their "different" Loneliness and just for the info their first track that made them known (and the only real video) is "Beyond the Dark Sun". The amazing is that it's a 2:35 min song that has All... Nice to meet you :)

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Thank you For Subscribing, enjoy the channel. Nice to meet you as well. Todd

[@Lolquake]

I wish the framerate on that video was higher, I feel like you miss half of Kai's drumhits between frames haha

[@Pave999]

Time II, it's coming, D-29...😎

[@Gibbetoo]

it's not harp but Kantele Finnish zither. my hometown is named after it.

[@MusicWithToddLedbetter]

Very nice sounding instrument! I googled it to see what it looked like. Kind of a cross between harp and a Hammered Dulcimer. I use to play Hammered Dulcimer

Cool, thanks for the links KaH

[@kah227]

@@MusicWithToddLedbetter I know it's a crazy list. It contains groups that have both normal singing and harsh vocals. The first group on the list is Wintersun is like you already heard a great band. Kalmah is the band that made me like harsh vocals while I saw people saying they dont like his style, but music is about taste which is very personal. I can say that the list is not in any particular order for me except Wintersun. My personal favorite band is probably Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus I was at a festival in Finland where I went to see Nightwish, Stratovarius and HIM. We arrived early to see an artist of a different kind. So we got a lot of time before the big three would play so we asked some people what we should see and they recommended Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus. I had Finnish parents but live in Sweden so I knew nothing about this band. So when the third song was almost over, it suddenly struck me what the hell they sing in Finnish.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

Did you recognize Kai Hahto on the drums who is now the drummer on Nigthwish since 2014.

Yes I did. He is so good!

Their best song is without a doubt "The Way Of The Fire". kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6quepKHerR7oq8 Unfortunately nobody ever reacts to it because it hasn't been officially released yet. But they've been playing it live for a whole decade already.

Are you sure your not the singer in Amon Amarth? LOL
