[@RonniePeterson]

It is just so sad that the entire world does not know about Wintersun. One of the true elite bands that have ever existed. Your reaction was worthy of this band. Thank you.

[@toughy9450]

Welcome to the genius of Wintersun. Jari, the singer, is the mastermind who writes and composes all their music. Some of the songs have over 200 tracks layered, just to give you an idea of how much effort he puts into his work. You'll likely get requests for Time from the same live session, but I'll suggest Death and the Healing, Winter Madness or Loneliness which are all brilliant in their own way.

[@JariJuslin]

On the album this song is from Jari composed, played, sung, mixed etc it all himself. Except drums. For drums he called Kai to do the composing and playing. And total tracks for some songs were in the area of 1300-1400 with almost 400 playing at the same time in peaks.

[@hannuhanttamakela2673]

Well, the drummer and bassist are both in Nightwish so what did you expect :)

[@JariJuslin]

Are *now* in Nightwish. When former Nightwish drummer had to step back, he hand picked Kai as his successor. This band and these songs were not a bad entry on his CV.

[@randymarple9830]

If Jukka stays with NW it will be interesting to see how Tuomas uses Jukka's voice in the next album. Kai is so good!!

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Haha true. 😄

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

Well, they certainly opened this 68 year-old into new musical directions (along with Devin Townsend). It took me four listens to this to stop trying to work out what was going on, and just sit back and enjoy. I've bought two of their albums.

[@SargonnasIncarnate]

It actually takes eight ears to fully appreciate.

[@AL92LA]

You have to try also Wintersun - Time, Loneliness, Forest that weeps.. Actually all of them!

[@2727rogers]

Yes and to think that Jari is missing part of one lung and can still hold those notes is just amazing. I was also not a fan of harsh vocals until I stared listening to bands like Wintersun & Jinger.

[@mcmokoma4189]

You are correct. Jari is missing about 1/4 of his lungs. He lost it to tuberculosis when he was in the army.

[@digitalmouse3314]

I did not know that that is even more insane and explains his tone as well. I was wondering what was up but could not put my finger on it if she had Asthma or some other lung issue just years of hearing Angela can pick it out in the tone of Growls.

[@W4Rx1Sx0V3R]

If you listen to jinjer, tell me you also listen to Opeth

[@digitalmouse3314]

@@W4Rx1Sx0V3R probably Opeth was chaos as a song writer good but intense super awesome.

[@ristohyvarinen8448]

Hi Jacqueline, great reaction to this Wintersun song. It's so overwhelmling piece of music. And the more often you listen to this, the more you like it. Great musicians as you mentioned, absolutely. How about trying Wintersun - Time, you might like it. Take care, see you.

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

That's the face I made the 1st time I saw that video lol. My favourite is Land of Snow and Sorrow. Beautiful song.

[@pantlessreactions]

25:27 love how relieved Kai looks after he got through that drum blast section without messing up

[@Martee234]

many other pro drummers would be like close to death after that and Kai is just having fun and laughing behind the kit :D

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Haha, yes

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

You have just discovered the greatest band the world has ever seen!

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

When we talk about melodic metal, finnish metal Is the Number 1. There are different forms Of melodic metal: NIGHTWISH, WINTERSUN, AMORPHIS... Every band Is a World

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

The Wintersun Podcast which Jukka, Jari, Asim and Teemu each take turns hosting on KZbin is awesome and they're all hilarious. Jari to Jukka about his Nightwish photo shoot (Jukka the bassist is now in Nightwish) "You wore high heels to be taller than Floor right" Jukka: "Sure I wore high heels" side eyes Jari. Teemu (dark hair) breaks and starts belly laughing. Jukka is very tall lol.

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Hahaha, sounds like my kinda people .

[@ThaBeatConductor]

The next logical step is Time from the same session. It's really nice seeing someone that has clearly listened to or worked with a lot of music. Thanks.

[@eTraxx]

The drummer here is Kai Hahto who replaced Jukka Nevalainen in Nightwish .. and the bassist is Jukka Koskinen who has replaced(?) Marko Heietala as a session musican .. also Nightwish

[@ernstbeck3564]

Yes , this is korrect with Kai Hahto to Drum play

[@eTraxx]

@@ernstbeck3564 I don't know how well it translates from English .. but . Kai IS A BEAST!! :)

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

@@eTraxx I saw the drummer and said "Holy crap, That's Kai...and it was..."

[@MustaLaatta]

🤘🇫🇮 Nightwish army Finland 🐻‍❄ Way to support musicians you care like Jaqui, is to buy their albums etc. Go to their concerts, buy their merchandise, join their fans, follow them on IG, subscribe to be their Patreons. Real prize to them is that, they will feel their work is appreciated, they have a will to continue their work, which is what most artists actually want!

[@pen7759]

Thank you Jacqueline that you did this piece of art in music. As you said, and it was the first time I heard someone saying smth about the structure of this song, it was well and cleverly built up. Singer Jari is the one to compose these masterpieces of Wintersun. I did love your accurate comments, and it was so nice to watch as you were surprised of Jari´s vocals. Please do some more Wintersun, like "Time". Drummer Kai Hahto and the bass Jukka Koskinen are in Nightwish today. Anyway I will follow your reacts here, because you really understand lots of how to do and perform the music, and not to mention how smart lovely lady you are. Greets from Finland. Stay safe.

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

Thank you Pen!

[@nukikakuch2367]

Wow. Уou promised to look and you did it. Thanks.

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

There's a reason why I have been obsessed with this song for 5 years. After that I just wanted to hear more and especially more different music. And now I hear it back after I haven't listeners to it for like a year. And I get these goosebumps and amazing emotional feeling again. Like yeah yhis will always be my nr 1 song no matter how my music taste changes

[@RushAss]

Very brave of you to take this on. Great work! Always great to see you smile and dance to music I love. Cheers!

[@richardpotter3012]

Great reaction. This is THE GREATEST song EVER...

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Jari Mäenpää is a storyteller, composer, nerd and showman-a dark troubadour with a guitar already in his teens. He was telling his epic musical stories already as the frontman of Ensiferum before forming Wintersun. The musicians who draw inspiration from classical compositions and Finnish nature, folklore and mythology have a lot to live up to, because of the likes ofJean Sibelius, who already took inspiration from those themes and composed Finnish masterpieces. When speaking about the creepy undertone, many of these bands have history in Black Metal. Nightwish Tuomas Holopainen's and Kai Hahto's Black Metal band Darkwoods My Betrothed (formed in 1992) even released some new material just recently.

[@W4Rx1Sx0V3R]

If you want to hear more of Jari's clean vocals I would suggest Loneliness (by wintersun), amazing song from start to finish

[@jo_g.germany]

One of my all-time favourites! Thanks for reacting!

[@juhajyrala9367]

Next got to be " TIME ". Same session but so much better song. GOOOOOOSSSSSSBUMPSSSSS. ! I Like your reaction video so much... 🤘 I thing you will get some tear of joy when you listening Time. Love you. ❤

[@j.janatuinen]

Fantastic love it.Kai is killing it on the drums😁💥

[@randalljones4370]

What is Finnish for "You are carving fractal trails in my brain"? ... it probably translates to a "the moose rides an Etch-a-Sketch on the ice".... gotta love the Finnish language and the little -isms they create. Anyway Your face at about 16:35, the finally started to resolve that long melody line.... it was like your musical side was desperate to find something that would tie up the oft-divergent parts... .. and then they continue on. And yes, the soft 3-part vocal interlude in the middle is just magical... in that way that a Danny Elfmann tune can be magical. I felt like I've been in a snow-globe. I love your closing statement. An open mind can be sooo much more satisfied.

[@MrTremors1]

Maybe the best reaction I've ever seen. I love your honesty about how you feel.

[@edwardonion5331]

As always a great reaction, rock on 🤘

[@ernstbeck3564]

The Drummer is Kai Hahto from Nightwish and Wintersun All players is Amazing to Epic Groul Heavy Sound

[@lujalainen1]

wow thanx to reaction this magnificent masterpiece song uuuh lalaaa :) thanx and have awesome day.

[@brucejensen5697]

I really like your reviews and this one definitely kicked ass.

[@dac2007]

'Time' and 'Land of Snow and Sorrow' are great as well from the same studio recording

[@stefanantfolk3114]

The drummer plays in Nightwish now

[@grahambatchelor3576]

Hi JVB, Another great reaction. It's a pity Wintersun haven't got a decent sized back catalogue, but what they do have is brilliant!

[@endruvitak]

woooooowww 🤘🤘🤘🤘 JVB 🤘🤘👍👍 nice song nice music nice reaction karawang indonesia hadir 🇲🇨🇲🇨🤘🤘🤘

You blew me away with this reaction. Insta sub! YUou had me at Celtic Frost but really, this was a great reaction - I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@raulascencio1056]

Toda una obra de arte, de lo mejor de los ultimos tiempos...

[@clivematthews5296]

And you can see why Kai became Nightwish's drummer and why Jukka, bassist, is currently performing with Nightwish too but not singing. By the way it's Floor's 41st birthday today.

[@GhostDrummer]

Kai is a freaking work horse behind his kit. As a drummer, I’m absolutely amazed every time I watch this video. The entire band is on another level.

[@karljensen6768]

FINALLY 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I would like for you to experience Loneliness! A fantastic and beautiful piece Jari composed to his late father!! Remember Kleenex en masse 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@dougb4835]

Wintersun are amazing and Sons of Winter and Stars is definitely their most epic, intense and stunning of their songs.

[@valentindumitru9554]

good job!

Hi Jacq. Drummer is Kai, Nightwish drummer. Bass player Jukka, replaced Marco Hietala for now. Take a chair and enjoy.

[@birrextio6544]

They who requested this should told her that I think.

[@mcmokoma4189]

Liked your reaction. 👍👍 Allthough I saw from your face, you didn't REALLY like the song, but you really shouldn't give up with the band before you listen to the songs "TIME" and "LAND OF SNOW AND SORROW"! Those songs are heavy and dark, but they are so BEAUTIFUL!! You will not regret of listening to these songs. BTW, the drummer, Kai Hahto, is the current drummer of Nightwish! 👍👍

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

I wasn't sure about them in the beginning but they really grew on me. So talented and his voice is amazing. I will do more;)

Arch Enemy, Handshake With Hell. This will blow your mind.

[@kabaston]

Greetings from a fan of and a subscriber of your channel. Thank you. You may be interested to know that there are several ties between Wintersun and Nightwish. The drummer (Kai) joined Nightwish in 2015 and the bassist (Jukka) recently joined Nightwish to replace Marko. I don't think that you have seen Jukka yet as he has only played in the recent Nightwish - Live In A Virtual World (2021).

[@gregjetnikoff7124]

Who is that soaring female vocal in the background ???? One of the things I love in rock but we rarely hear is multi lead guitar lines intertwining. ight back to Lou Reed's White line intro, Baby Animals doubling leads, UTL incredible guitars and bass interlevered lines. I just love it. Another band of next level of musicans. Even their vocals are like madrigal intertwining in places. Just bloody awesome.

[@kah227]

You should react to Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3rMi3mmhLahmpo The singer and composer Jari Mäenpää wrote this song after his father died.

[@hajovelt3083]

First: the tempo of this video is a little to slow; second: the Drummer is Kai Hahto, now the Nightwish-Drummer; third: the bassist is Jukka Koskinen, now the bass-player of the unknown finnish-metal-band Nightwish (replaces their former bassist Marko Hietala). Maybe you've heard of them...

[@digitalmouse3314]

Jari is in Nightwish now so what's gonna happen with Wintersun hopefully bring up a new composer/songwriter guitarist-vocalist where? Just Prog Metal lol so many styles they hit every song is new and fresh I like these guys because of Celtic Frost they similar very similar.

[@digitalmouse3314]

it's crazy how 3 guys can sound like 100 people all at once it's crazy Jakka is just insane Drummer to love his energy in Nightwish though not sure why the change but yeah Nightwish songs are just fun so fun I guess.
