This guy is one of the most amazing men I've ever met. Doesn't speak a word of english out of context, but you can feel the spirit of ancient folk emanating from him.
This man was the best musician at the entire concert I went to last night. Lauri from Metsatöll is amazing! And a very friendly guy. He slayed the night, enchanting the audience with heavy metal, and was just chillin outside the venue afterward smoking his tobacco pipe and talking with folk. Shaking hands and whatnot. Very nice of him to come meet us.
Old video, but just came accross this. Little fun fact, parmupill is called doromb in Hungarian, and when the cat purrs we say "a macska dorombol" literally meaning the cat is playing the Jew's harp.
Now Lauri, it sounds more magnicifient to say that "toru" comes from the name of Estonian god Taara, which supposedly stems from Scandinavian Thor but when you look at the usual meaning and also etymology of the word, and translate it into English, it means "pipe". The other part of the word "-pill" means an instrument, so when you put the two words together it is translated as an "pipe instrument".
Hey! "toru" is a new word and surely is later connected with this instruments name with a meaning "tube/pipe". But of course, the instrument is way older than your, khm, straight and childish-simple, understanding of a word "pipe" or "toru" in 21. century. Older word for "pipe" in Estonia is "putki" (open pipe is "renn"), what is preserved in a plant name "putk". The german-english-swedish word "pipe" word comes instruments sound. Also, "Pill" older meaning is not just an "instrument", but a blowed instrument, a flute or something like it, word is connected to a sound of a blowed instrument. (as a word "pipe"). The other version could be (if not Taara), that name "toru" comes, as different bagpipes around, from the sound of that instrument. But this is not logical, cause this would lead us to the instrument name translation like "beeep-tooot" or something like it, as "toooot-flute" of "beep-instrument" would be possible.
I remember Metsatoll saying this before doing a song that started out going, Weeeeeeeeeeee uuuuu, weeeeeeeeee uuuu, weeeeeeeeeeee uuuu, Does anyone know the song?
I want Lauri to release some Audiobooks.
Omg. I hate audio oops, until right now.

That guy's voice is unbelievably deep, holy fuck
You should hear him live, it's not humanly possible to sound that deep... :)
He actually sound much deeper, when you hear him live.
Interesting instruments. Never heard of them before.
Also, I could listen to this guy talk for days.
Really though. I got to meet him a little less than a year ago and he has a DEEP voice.

I have to admit. Having played the great highland bagpipe, I laughed at the joke. Looking forward to their next performance in Winnipeg
Omg gear gods. I never expected that you will make a video about a band from this small country.
Give him cookies and beer, he'll come to your house first next year ...
Saw Metsatoll back in october with Tyr and Eluveitie. Awesome band. Since then I am hooked
So the torubill is a bagpipe that doesn't sound awful
+Red Mercer Torupill*
3:15 xD lauri is the best... metsatöll is one of my favourite bands =D
6:53 he's playing smoke on the water and iron man.
Hehe, he really does!
Saw Metsatöll live with Arkona a couple weeks ago, such a cool show, and so much fun!
The joke of onion and bagpipe was fucking hilarious!!!!! XD
Can you please elaborate to us the unenlightened?
Got to see Metsatoll with Tyr and Eluveitie last week. The dudes put on a good show!
Lauri is unbelievable... hope i will hear him live once...
by the way, Parmupill is called DRUMBĽA in Slovakia, very funny instrument :D
Kannel/Kantele plays big part in Finnish epic Kalevala.
Lauri's voice is pure metal.
I found Metsatöll ~10yr a go, but still do not understand when he said "thrash metal".
Old video, but just came accross this. Little fun fact, parmupill is called doromb in Hungarian, and when the cat purrs we say "a macska dorombol" literally meaning the cat is playing the Jew's harp.
Must be magician.
beautiful instruments!

Having not heard of his band or their music before this, I honestly had no clue whether this was serious or he was joking around!
DDELFIERRO nope, that’s instruments they use.
I remember Metsatoll saying this before doing a song that started out going, Weeeeeeeeeeee uuuuu, weeeeeeeeee uuuu, weeeeeeeeeeee uuuu, Does anyone know the song?
+airjoe49 Kivine Maa?
+Burn1nSun No, its metsaviha2 - a song about a wolf

Hi Lauri, what is about a new album in 2016 or 2017? Greetings Christian
Does anyone know if those are soprano or alto recorders? And also if they are baroque or German? Thank you :D
My Folklore Studies class brought me here
Which institute do you study in?
You look like Count Jackula.

WHERE CAN I GET A KANNEL?
from a shop
Or make it
Introdootion.
Kantele in Finnish. Kannel in Estonia.
aivopark Both kannel and kantele is used in Finnish language.
Now the parmupill has herpes :)
...and i still don't get the bagpipe traditional joke. Only estonians can laugh on it?
I reckon it refers to the slicing of the pudent parts, I don't know.
