Tatiana is a perfect use case for how prejudice gets smashed. She didn't receive any special treatment, nobody gave her an award or success because she was a female in a male dominated setting, nobody shamed anyone into liking her, she just melted everyone's fucking face off by being a complete badass. Someone this talented and charismatic can crush all but the most ignorant biases. She's not the first female performer to pull this style off, but I think you'd be hard pressed to name another female vocalist with the same amount of the "it" factor along with playing with such a talented group of musicians. Jinjer has an extremely high ceiling for popularity and success and it's largely because this woman is too good to dismiss and is competitive (talent wise) with her male counterparts.
Jinjer has set the bar soooooo high that only they can top it. And good for them. Nobody's coming close to doing what they do! They are a genre of their own!!@
This. EDIT: Let me raise one quibble. What her success shows is that metal was never prejudiced against anyone who had the talent to do it well. Perhaps there was a time when it was less inviting and a more daunting prospect for some. However, in my estimation, metal has always been about talent above all else; or, to put it more succinctly: metal is a meritocracy.
@@srhiers29 But there has always been that stigma in metal or life in general for that matter that a woman cant do a man's job...especially metal. Tatiana has completely obliterated that stereotype with her abilities. Good luck finding a guy who can do both clean and guttural vocals as beautifully and smoothly as she does...live!!! Yes there are other women out there that do both clean and guttural vocals, but...just my opinion...Tatiana reigns supreme. Not to mention the rest of the band who are geniuses and completely in a league of their own! Just my opinion.
@@jamesnorthan3284 I've never seen a single person say a woman can't do metal; and, the enthusiastic reaction when a woman does it only proves the point further. The stigma is that metal fans are a bunch of misogynists even though there is little to no evidence to prove it. Tatiana has gained her fame on talent, not genitalia. If she weren't good at what she does, no one would pay attention, regardless of her sex. Or, she'd be given undeserved accolades because of her womanhood. As for her vocal talents, she reminds me of Corey Taylor in regards to how effortlessly she can go back and forth. Regardless, I'd say she's in the top five best metal singers currently around.
I'm a chick, I'm into metal - have been for literal decades - and I freakin' LOVE IT whenever y'all dudes get taken aback by women vocalists who growl/scream. It's honestly kinda hilarious to see dudes "lose it" over stuff like this.. (And believe me - first time I stumbled upon Arch Enemy back in the day, I was surprised too; I hadn't seen a woman growl before - at least not like that.) Haters gon' hate no matter what you say. You seem like a cool dude, who enjoys *music* and would not give two shits about what's in the pants of the vocalist of any given band. You do you.
Thank you so much! And yeah, I totally get your point. The shock value of hearing a woman in metal screaming her face off is still there because people are so used to seeing dudes doing it all the time. I have a feeling those days may be over soon, as more and more women are bringing it in the metal scene harder than ever before.
@@TankTheTech Yeah, exactly. Plus - I came from a pretty hardcore blackmetal-fanbase, so my "taste" in growls were already a tad different than - say - your average thrash/deathmetal fan (as the style of growl/scream are different). For me, though, it was also the epiphany of "Heeey... I can do that - she does, I can too" - which is always cool :)
@@TankTheTech Just for fun, another example of a woman who can growl: ruclips.net/video/SNPesLFTnUg/видео.html Won't say who as that'll ruin the surprise. I'll just say that it's not her current band. Enjoy. My favourite bits are the leopard scream at 0.38 and the vocal flip at 3:57 - one that is probably one of the most drastic vocal transitions anyone is likely to hear.
@@TankTheTech I'd also say that it's not just how Tati growls, but how extremely low her growls get. Nobody expects her to get that low, not just because of gender, but size as well. She's 5'5" I think.
Yeah and there are people like me, 50 years old, 40 years more or less deep into Metal (lost the drive in the 90's and missed the whole Death/Norwegian BM Time, i came back in the early Millennium..i had trouble in the beginning liking Growls/Screams/Harsh Vocals). And yes in my younger years i was such an Idiot to say: "Female Vocals...No Way!!" But with age there comes wisdom, i don't care about genres/subgenres, either i like it or i don't, easy as that. So i can easily switch from Nightwish to Mgla on a Music evening/weekend. The same nowadays with female vocals, i am searching for Bands using it, and i also don't care if SHE is using cleans, growls, screams...it has to fit and i have to like it. Greetings from Germany (maybe we'll see us in Wacken in a better time than actually)
@@TankTheTech If you like Eugene's tap work on the bass, "Who's going to be the one" is a must. I saw them on a small stage, great to see them up close but I felt uneasy, they deserve bigger.
Yes teacher teacher and who is going to be the one in any order should be the next ones to react to. Trust the jinjer fans will guide you on which videos are best to react to
Teacher Teacher, Who is gonna be the one, Ape, Judgement and Punishment, Pit of Consciousness, Captain Clock, Outlander, Scissors, Cloud Factory, On the Top, Noah, I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Just Another....... Enjoy your Jinjer journey man. It's fun to watch people dive down the rabbit hole.
ok. i just wanna say 1 one thing before this goes live. I have been attending live shows for 2 decades now, and nobody has made me feel the energy and emotion that this band had brought to their performance. meeting them gave me me a whole new perspective of them nd how humble they are, and how much they value their fans!!!
Definitely worth it to check some of their interviews, bus invaders or instrumental playthroughs on their own YT channel. They're pretty wholesome and I also think their (mostly Tatis I guess) song texts reflect that too.
Also follow them on IG. Tati and Eugene have done 3 Q&A during quarantine. They are some awesome human beings and I feel because of their history have a real nice perspective on the life, the band, music, touring etc.
Did you see them at the Max Watts in Melbourne? I heard it was pretty epic. Unfortunately I had flown out to Hanoi the very same day they played in Melbourne! Maybe next time!
Ji Cottrill Yes mate. Was an amazing performance and the crowd was sick too. Made a few new mates in the pit haha. That sucks you missed the show. But I have no doubt that they’ll come back here at some point, considering all their shows were completely packed out. Hopefully you will catch them then 🤘🏻
I feel ya on the point you made about female vocalists in metal. A while back I was listening to Jinjer and my 6 year old daughter heard it and said it was cool that Tatiana "can sing like a boy too" lol. Cute, yeah but it also made me think that theres probably a ton of other little girls out there that can feel empowered by someone like her. If that ain't a positive female role model Idk who is
Jinjer: Teacher Teacher, Ape, Who's Gonna Be the One (live), I Speak Astronomy, Sit Stay Rollover Another female fronted band = Vintersea Check out in this order: Illuminated, The Host, Befallen A band you might find interesting: Ne Obliviscaris. See "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" live in Denver 2016.
Tatiana is the only one who's Growls/Screams connect to me. They have feeling , tone , clarity and are pleasing to my ear. She is the only one I really dig. Saw and met them last Fall on their first headlining US tour. They are best live band I've witnessed in my 54 years. BTW , their Wacken gig was at 11:30am on the second stage. Jinjer were picking up serious speed and the panic slowed them and all to a halt. : (
Agreed.. scream/growl metal is usually not my thing at all.. but the progression of their music and her beautiful clean vocals put them over the top for me.. the lyrics are also great
Her screams are good, but there are plenty of musicians they have screams that grab me. Pest (vocalist for Gorgoroth especially during Quantum Possunt album), Lord Abbath from Immortal, CJ Mcreery from Lorna Shore.. all great vocalists..
She is among the best vocalists in the metal genre at the moment. It does not matter if they are female or male, what should concern us is the talent and charisma as main vocalists of their bands.
She doesn't sing/scream/growl better than "most dudes in metal", she does it all better than any dude in metal. And the band behind her is a gathering of art.
Female fronted bands are always the best!!! Bands such as Straight Line Stich, Walls of Jericho, Otep, even Kittie paved the way towards what we have today! I love it!!!!
Eugene (bassist) is a big Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne) fan. I think Eugene is one of the best metal bassists out there. He adds a layer of harmonic complexity to the songs, and you can actually hear him in the mixes which is a rarity in a lot of metal genres.
Another great reaction... Eugene (the bassist) is a beast! I love the groove he brings to the otherwise hard-hitting metal sound. Jinjer (well, Tati) has made me a fan of harsher vocals - Something I used to avoid for the most part.
“Who is gonna be the one” is another top level live Jinjer song to check out. Moving in a slightly different direction you should check out "Opeth - Ghost of Perdition (Live at Red Rocks)" as a guitar tech you will appreciate one of the best mixed live performances ever recorded.
Definitely gonna check out "Who Is Gonna Be The One". And I've heard Opeth before and love them, but I've never seen that video so I'll have to check it out!
4:00 Well, ten years ago when i started showing Arch Enemy to friends, everyone i know was surprised male and female alike. Funny enough the majority of the girls said, wow thats a CHICK? we were all very impressed. its a natural reaction to be surprised by things that usually are not expected... by definition. there is no need for apologies. and jinjer is amazing btw. cheers
Good to know I'm not alone in thinking that! I think of him as Roadie-man.. Maybe he can make an appearance in Twilight of the Mallrats if it gets made? You listening Kevin Smith?
You just witnessed musical perfection.....Couple things here. 1. They were the opening 11am spot, and still killed it. That spot would be heracy now for a band of their popularity. 2. This is NOT the usual closing song. There were some technical difficulties at the beginning of the set, which shortened their on stage time. They would normally close with something much heavier, ie, Captain Clock, but, this song has now becoming THE Jinjer song to watch. Keep going, so much more to discover, the reggae, the swing, the ska, the brutalness, the progressiveness. It only gets better from here.
11am is INSANE!!! I also did see this isn't their normal closer, but much respect for them to adjusting on the fly. They still looked and sounded great for an early set riddled with technical difficulties.
Tati is awesome. Can't wait for Teacher Teacher as it my favorite song by Jinjer. I so want to see them live, they are scheduled for 2 concerts in Russia this November. Will see if the virus has something to say about it.
Pisces is the odd man out in the Jinjer lineup. I love that song. But most people discover Jinjer through Pisces, and then when they explore the rest of the lineup, they really are rediscovering the band all over again. This song is such a beautiful druidic pagan poem about mother nature in winter time, one of Tati's best. And there is so much going on musically.
This concert on Wacken was the 1st time i have seen and f*** wow ...hear Jinjer. and i stand in the crowd and... ich was Flashd by the gold shiny Light in Front of me an this voice.
If you want to see full production, headlining live songs I would probably suggest a couple songs they put out on the Napalm RUclips channel that are "live in Kiev": Pit of Consciousness and/or On The Top. It's not an outdoor festival show but I think it's the closest to what you were asking for at the end.
I don't know a single woman who needs a Paul (who seems to have taken one gender studies class too many) to defend her from being called a 'chic'. Virtually all of them are either absolutely okay with it or absolutely able to speak for themselves if they don't like it. Feeling the need to 'defend' women like that is indeed patronizing in itself because it suggests they are too weak to tell you what the do or do not like themselves. Never ever make the mistake to explain yourself or apologize to these people. It will only make them more annoying because they feel validated by that. You're doing a great job conveying honest, genuine and fun to watch reactions to great music. Thanks and keep on going :-)
Haha, some people also said Eugene is rocking the cavemen look when he's letting his hair loose, but you're not the first one who compares him to Tyrion / Peter. Dude is finger tapping a lot, and the bass is strapped up pretty high. Tati holding it there was a two breather, with a solid 12 second sustain at the end. This was their first time at Wacken, I hope the next time they'll get a better one, but don't think they aren't give it their all on timed slots like this!
From experience both playing in a band and working for bands, it's hard to get in the zone in the middle of the day at festivals for anybody, but holy shit do they still bring it. I have a feeling they'll blow me away even more if I see them in a headlining slot someday.
Yeeeeessss, I knew you’d enjoy this one! Hearing how out of breath she was at the end and how incredible the vocals were through the whole performance really shows how amazing the control she has over her voice is, this is always going to be one of my favourite performances from any band I think , although I 10000% agree with the daytime slot thing, I’d absolutely love to see them with a set like Nightwish did in Ghost Love Score I’m still going to suggest Who is Gonna be the One live too though! You’ve heard her amazing switches and cleans, now it’s time for the amazing screams😊
Jinjer seriously just crushes everything they do. Tatiana's vocals, with the compliment of Roman, Vlad, and Eugene behind her? There's a damn good reason they just sort of... exploded on to the scene. The metal scene just continues to get better and better these days. Sabaton, Jinjer, Amorphis, Insomnium, the list goes on. Would love to see you check out Amorphis, either "Under The Red Cloud" or "Message in the Amber"
People that take offense at words like "chick" and "dude" are looking to be offended. Nobody can cause offense; those hearing CHOOSE to take offense. You're golden, you don't disrespect women, in fact you consistently respect their performances when they're slappin. Ignore those types of comments, they need to realize that "that's your opinion man" and everyone has one.
Teacher teacher is my personal fav.its so well rounded and if you wanna hear them mix reggae into this,listen to judgement and punishment.but all their shit is amazing
Love the reaction tyvm! Teacher Teacher and I Speak Astronomy are really great too. Oh and Who Is Going To Be The One. Really love 💗 Jinjer. Hope to see them live. Ty again.
I've seen him once and it was greatness. Second time was postponed by covid in a House of Blues kind of tour. No concert dates in the US until next year. The hit up all the European festivals. This band is off the hook crazy good.
There's so much to love about them. One thing would be, how effortless and natural the build-ups feel. And then they relentlessly pump the breaks, relish those pulled back moments, just to go right at it again. Yet nothing of this feels disruptive or forced. It's always in perfect flow. That's so difficult to achieve. Especially since their entire style and the song structures are pretty eclectic and all over the place. But it never feels like that. There's always this weirdly beautiful whole-ness in their music, in which you never feel lost or irritated. They masterfully lead you through their otherworldly landscapes, and you don't even think of questioning it. That, I think, is one of the many reasons, why their music is so uniquely captivating.
Great dynamics. This is the element that is enhanced when a female vox can do both clean and growls really well. There is just a whole different range that is possible, but it requires smart musicianship to take advantage of it. The drummer is really good at laying off and building tension, drama.
Great to meet ya bud, Completely agree with metal being male dominated for so many years and so awesome to see women like Tatiana (and many others) showing that they can kick ass too!, I'm a metalhead since birth(grew up in the 80's) and just super fucken happy to see more women in metal blowing our fucken minds with their talent. Cheers
Love the upwards shot of her at 7:28... really shows how tiny she is, and then makes me think even more; how is this little thing bringing those sounds.
@@QueenBee-py3ks Slipknot specifically asked Jinjer to open for them for a couple gigs in Poland this summer which ended up being cancelled. Trust me the Big Metal Bands know the talent and dedication they possess. Tati HATES that Pisces became so popular being the socially awkward introvert (in her words) she is.
Stang Cobra it’s really, really too bad about their tour. I thought this was gonna be the one to propel them to next level, they were finally being noticed in a big way. Fingers crossed that energy is still there when shows restart.
Never assume you know where a Jinjer song is going. It will always go somewhere you don't expect. Eugene (the bassist) seems like the nicest guy. He probably speaks the most in interviews, and has some bass demonstrations on RUclips. He and Tatiana are also doing a lot of fan Q&As while they are stuck in LA through the quarantine.
Subscribed! I just fell down the Jinjer rabbit hole a few weeks ago. They are very very good. I’m honestly kind of mad at everyone who knew about them and didn’t tell me before now 😜
As I understand the history of the band is divided into 3 stages: 1. Non-commercial 2009-2014 (before the Donbass war) 2. 2015-2019, commercial, before world fame, 3. 2019-present - world fame. Features of the first stage: no studio albums, more punk, a different image of Tati: less tattoos, dreadlocks. Features of the second stage: studio albums, high-quality video clips, contracts, tours, change of drummer, and change Tatiana's image, high-quality progressive music. Their transition from the second stage to the third is Wacken 2019.
Tatiana (i hope i got that right) is a force of nature & obviously really fit cos she can be talking & be out of breath but get back into it like no worries
Spiritbox y jinjer, son metal fresco y delicioso al oído.... Son lo mejor que he visto en los últimos años...... Estoy impresionado de la calidad y talento de éstas chicas.... Son de lo mejor que existe....
"But now the rains weep o'er his hall with no one there to hear" - now that you mentioned it, yes, he does look a bit like Tyrion there! Nice reaction to the "Chick-Thing". Couldn´t have said it better. Really enjoy your reactions and the informations about some of the gear you providing. Keep up the good work. Not sure if I just missed it going through your video list, if I didn´t - check out "Infected rain - Orphan Soul". I listen to quite a bit of metal, but that amount of anger and despair in someone´s voice is new to me. Highly addictive, if you´re looking for pure emotion in music. Greetings from Germany
It's really great to see them live, stood close to Eugene, he is a beast and he emits soo much energy from the stage. If you can see them live, ofcourse do, its a no brainer :D
I love that you support all women in metal. Thank you! We are such an important part of the scene. I actually introduced my boyfriend to much of the metal i listen to. 😚
Tatiana is absolutely one of the best vocalists in metal, gender completely aside. She's also a complete badass. Not to mention every member of this band are at the top of their game, I'm a rhythm section player and the drummer and bassist in this band are in my top 10 players for sure. These guys are something special, glad to see yet another person discover why :)
My dream concert for 2021 is Jinjer and Run the Jewels. I would love to hear those two groups collaborate. Another great official live video is "Boyfriend" by Screaming Females. The singer is no Tatiana, but she's a phenomenal guitar player, and the live setting makes me miss being 23 and going to small packed venues.
That's my favorite from them but if you want to get your face ripped off then Who is gonna be the one is the one you want to watch next.... It's absolutely amazing.
I don't know why people DONT take it as a compliment when someone compliments the talents of a woman in metal. Because metal has been very mysoginistic for so long it's absolutely important to put emphasis on the great female players in music. Breaks down the walls for those who aren't comfortable with more women in heavy music.
I've been waiting for you to come back to Jinjer. Hehe. I honestly think you will get a kick out of Pit Of Counsciousness live. It's a dark, heavy and brooding track, probably my favourite of the last album. Anyhow, loving your vids and passion for heavy!
100% agree with you on women in metal. I absolutely love arch enemy, spiritbox and now jinjer (I've obviously been living under a rock and just discovered jinjer)
Idk if Jinjer has ever had a headlining slot at a festival, they are taking the metal scene by storm, but go back a year or two and they were pretty much unheard-of. They are even still playing at bars and night-clubs. I saw them live this last October, they played in a small dingy venue, probably 250-300 people, tickets were $20, but it was fantastic -i'm sure you've been there, in a place so small you can be at the very back and still be close to the stage. One thing you will have to accept with Jinjer is they will never do what you expect them to do. If you want to see them in their element at their own show they have two videos from a show in their hometown, Kyiv, Ukraine earlier this year. Look for Pit of Consciousness or On The Top live and you should find it. They are both absolutely flawless performances and they have the light show going, personally I like Pit of Consciousness, but they are both good

Jinjer were picking up serious speed and the panic slowed them and all to a halt. : (
Agreed.. scream/growl metal is usually not my thing at all.. but the progression of their music and her beautiful clean vocals put them over the top for me.. the lyrics are also great
Her screams are good, but there are plenty of musicians they have screams that grab me. Pest (vocalist for Gorgoroth especially during Quantum Possunt album), Lord Abbath from Immortal, CJ Mcreery from Lorna Shore.. all great vocalists..
She is among the best vocalists in the metal genre at the moment. It does not matter if they are female or male, what should concern us is the talent and charisma as main vocalists of their bands.
I got to see them headline back in September ‘19. It was a smaller venue in Dallas, TX but the mosh pit was insane and I had a blast! 💥
Retrospection by Jinjer will absolutely rip your face off! One of my favorites by them!
She doesn't sing/scream/growl better than "most dudes in metal", she does it all better than any dude in metal. And the band behind her is a gathering of art.
Female fronted bands are always the best!!! Bands such as Straight Line Stich, Walls of Jericho, Otep, even Kittie paved the way towards what we have today! I love it!!!!
Haven't heard the name Kittie in a while!
Eugene (bassist) is a big Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne) fan. I think Eugene is one of the best metal bassists out there. He adds a layer of harmonic complexity to the songs, and you can actually hear him in the mixes which is a rarity in a lot of metal genres.
Did not know that! Ryan is one of my favorite bass players and one of my inspirations when I was younger as well.
Hey Tank! You know what gets you more fired up? 5k subs man! I remember I was here when you only had around 1k. Congrats 🍻
A week ago, dude! It blows my mind! This has been a blast and I'm sure it will continue to be! Thanks!
Another great reaction...
Eugene (the bassist) is a beast! I love the groove he brings to the otherwise hard-hitting metal sound.
Jinjer (well, Tati) has made me a fan of harsher vocals - Something I used to avoid for the most part.
“Who is gonna be the one” is another top level live Jinjer song to check out. Moving in a slightly different direction you should check out "Opeth - Ghost of Perdition (Live at Red Rocks)" as a guitar tech you will appreciate one of the best mixed live performances ever recorded.
Definitely gonna check out "Who Is Gonna Be The One". And I've heard Opeth before and love them, but I've never seen that video so I'll have to check it out!
Pit of consciousness and retrospection, also cloud factory are amazing songs by jinjer. .
If you want to see a good live video with lighting, etc. check out anything live from Kiev. Maybe “Pit of Consciousness” or “On the Top”.
Pit is right up their with one of the best live videos I've ever seen on You Tube. Jinjer gave that performance their A game!
Agreed
Revisiting this reaction and wondering if you ever thought you'd be interviewing them soon 😄 I also noticed the Slayer poster... Nice!
4:00 Well, ten years ago when i started showing Arch Enemy to friends, everyone i know was surprised
male and female alike. Funny enough the majority of the girls said, wow thats a CHICK? we were all very impressed.
its a natural reaction to be surprised by things that usually are not expected... by definition. there is no need for apologies.
and jinjer is amazing btw. cheers
Angela was fuckin brutal man, I feel like arch enemy just misses the brutality in her vocals now and it just ain’t the same for me.
If Jinjer is "opening" for another band.....that band better be fucking amazing 😂
Speaking of looking like: dude, you're a dead ringer for a slightly buffer Jason Lee. That's a compliment btw 👍🏻🤘🏻😎
Good to know I'm not alone in thinking that!
I think of him as Roadie-man.. Maybe he can make an appearance in Twilight of the Mallrats if it gets made? You listening Kevin Smith?
YES!! I didn't know why he looked so familiar until I read this!!
I think he looks AND sounds like Ryan Reynolds.
Teacher, Teacher is the correct #2 Jinjer song in my humble opinion.
Probably the best 4 person metal band out there. They are insanely good
Hi, Tank! Another great reaction, another good choice to react! Thanks, man! Tati is a beast! A real star! "Teacher teacher" next, pls!
You just witnessed musical perfection.....Couple things here. 1. They were the opening 11am spot, and still killed it. That spot would be heracy now for a band of their popularity. 2. This is NOT the usual closing song. There were some technical difficulties at the beginning of the set, which shortened their on stage time. They would normally close with something much heavier, ie, Captain Clock, but, this song has now becoming THE Jinjer song to watch. Keep going, so much more to discover, the reggae, the swing, the ska, the brutalness, the progressiveness. It only gets better from here.
11am is INSANE!!! I also did see this isn't their normal closer, but much respect for them to adjusting on the fly. They still looked and sounded great for an early set riddled with technical difficulties.
Tati is awesome. Can't wait for Teacher Teacher as it my favorite song by Jinjer. I so want to see them live, they are scheduled for 2 concerts in Russia this November. Will see if the virus has something to say about it.
Hopefully they happen and you get to see them!
"Pit of consciousness" live in Kiev...night concert...amazing performance...as always...nice review 👍
Pisces is the odd man out in the Jinjer lineup. I love that song. But most people discover Jinjer through Pisces, and then when they explore the rest of the lineup, they really are rediscovering the band all over again. This song is such a beautiful druidic pagan poem about mother nature in winter time, one of Tati's best. And there is so much going on musically.
This concert on Wacken was the 1st time i have seen and f*** wow ...hear Jinjer. and i stand in the crowd and... ich was Flashd by the gold shiny Light in Front of me an this voice.
If you want to see full production, headlining live songs I would probably suggest a couple songs they put out on the Napalm RUclips channel that are "live in Kiev": Pit of Consciousness and/or On The Top. It's not an outdoor festival show but I think it's the closest to what you were asking for at the end.
Yes both of those are amazing!
I don't know a single woman who needs a Paul (who seems to have taken one gender studies class too many) to defend her from being called a 'chic'. Virtually all of them are either absolutely okay with it or absolutely able to speak for themselves if they don't like it. Feeling the need to 'defend' women like that is indeed patronizing in itself because it suggests they are too weak to tell you what the do or do not like themselves. Never ever make the mistake to explain yourself or apologize to these people. It will only make them more annoying because they feel validated by that. You're doing a great job conveying honest, genuine and fun to watch reactions to great music. Thanks and keep on going :-)
gotta check out judgment and punishment she does it in one take and it’s amazing
Haha, some people also said Eugene is rocking the cavemen look when he's letting his hair loose, but you're not the first one who compares him to Tyrion / Peter. Dude is finger tapping a lot, and the bass is strapped up pretty high. Tati holding it there was a two breather, with a solid 12 second sustain at the end. This was their first time at Wacken, I hope the next time they'll get a better one, but don't think they aren't give it their all on timed slots like this!
From experience both playing in a band and working for bands, it's hard to get in the zone in the middle of the day at festivals for anybody, but holy shit do they still bring it. I have a feeling they'll blow me away even more if I see them in a headlining slot someday.
The Moral Misanthrope in his reaction compared Eugene to a love child of Jack Black & Jesus.
Yeeeeessss, I knew you’d enjoy this one! Hearing how out of breath she was at the end and how incredible the vocals were through the whole performance really shows how amazing the control she has over her voice is, this is always going to be one of my favourite performances from any band I think , although I 10000% agree with the daytime slot thing, I’d absolutely love to see them with a set like Nightwish did in Ghost Love Score
I’m still going to suggest Who is Gonna be the One live too though! You’ve heard her amazing switches and cleans, now it’s time for the amazing screams😊
Definitely have to get to that song as well! Thank you!
Jinjer is great. I dig them a lot.
Teacher, Teacher or Who is Gonna Be The One. Some of their best stuff.
Jinjer seriously just crushes everything they do. Tatiana's vocals, with the compliment of Roman, Vlad, and Eugene behind her? There's a damn good reason they just sort of... exploded on to the scene. The metal scene just continues to get better and better these days. Sabaton, Jinjer, Amorphis, Insomnium, the list goes on.
Would love to see you check out Amorphis, either "Under The Red Cloud" or "Message in the Amber"
People that take offense at words like "chick" and "dude" are looking to be offended. Nobody can cause offense; those hearing CHOOSE to take offense. You're golden, you don't disrespect women, in fact you consistently respect their performances when they're slappin. Ignore those types of comments, they need to realize that "that's your opinion man" and everyone has one.
Teacher Teacher / Who's Gonna Be the One / Words of Wisdom / Sit Stay Roll Over
Teacher teacher is my personal fav.its so well rounded and if you wanna hear them mix reggae into this,listen to judgement and punishment.but all their shit is amazing
This is an amazing band, all of them monsters
Love the reaction tyvm! Teacher Teacher and I Speak Astronomy are really great too. Oh and Who Is Going To Be The One. Really love 💗 Jinjer. Hope to see them live. Ty again.
Lol, totally agree, my first thought when I saw the bassist at that point was "It's Tyrion Lannister"
I've seen him once and it was greatness. Second time was postponed by covid in a House of Blues kind of tour. No concert dates in the US until next year. The hit up all the European festivals. This band is off the hook crazy good.
There's so much to love about them. One thing would be, how effortless and natural the build-ups feel. And then they relentlessly pump the breaks, relish those pulled back moments, just to go right at it again. Yet nothing of this feels disruptive or forced. It's always in perfect flow. That's so difficult to achieve. Especially since their entire style and the song structures are pretty eclectic and all over the place. But it never feels like that. There's always this weirdly beautiful whole-ness in their music, in which you never feel lost or irritated. They masterfully lead you through their otherworldly landscapes, and you don't even think of questioning it. That, I think, is one of the many reasons, why their music is so uniquely captivating.
Jinjer - Teacher Teacher! - must be the next!
Loved the reaction!! This band does not disappoint!! Ever!! Everything by them is simply amazing!! 🤘🔥
I got really excited there thinking you were going to let that roll on into Who Is Gonna Be the One. Teacher Teacher is another great one to watch.
"...what these guys bring to the table"
Do you know we're gonna eat at the same table? ;)
I literally can't get enough of this band
Great dynamics. This is the element that is enhanced when a female vox can do both clean and growls really well. There is just a whole different range that is possible, but it requires smart musicianship to take advantage of it. The drummer is really good at laying off and building tension, drama.
Just heard jinjer about 6 months ago and dude. She's fucken amazing 🤘🤘
Great to meet ya bud, Completely agree with metal being male dominated for so many years and so awesome to see women like Tatiana (and many others) showing that they can kick ass too!, I'm a metalhead since birth(grew up in the 80's) and just super fucken happy to see more women in metal blowing our fucken minds with their talent. Cheers
Love the upwards shot of her at 7:28... really shows how tiny she is, and then makes me think even more; how is this little thing bringing those sounds.
Pure vocal talent and control. It's unreal.
Compared to all the other legendary bands that play Wacken, Jinjer is still pretty underground. Won't be long though...
Very true, as I know Wacken is one of the most legendary festivals in the world (or at least, to me, it is). They'll be there soon.
Yeah they put out 2021 hellfest schedule. Jinjer is higher in the lineup and on the main stage. I was super excited to see it
@@QueenBee-py3ks Slipknot specifically asked Jinjer to open for them for a couple gigs in Poland this summer which ended up being cancelled. Trust me the Big Metal Bands know the talent and dedication they possess. Tati HATES that Pisces became so popular being the socially awkward introvert (in her words) she is.
Stang Cobra it’s really, really too bad about their tour. I thought this was gonna be the one to propel them to next level, they were finally being noticed in a big way. Fingers crossed that energy is still there when shows restart.
Teacher Teacher ..... masterpiece..... honestly
I agree. Wow! Hard to know what else to say.
Between the Buried and Me - Viridian + White Walls... bass solo and just awesome progressive metal.
She is definetely amazing!!!!!!!!!
Never assume you know where a Jinjer song is going. It will always go somewhere you don't expect. Eugene (the bassist) seems like the nicest guy. He probably speaks the most in interviews, and has some bass demonstrations on RUclips. He and Tatiana are also doing a lot of fan Q&As while they are stuck in LA through the quarantine.
I love "On The Top" by Jinjer, but I never see many people suggest it for reactors, however, I recommend!
Great reaction!! I love JINJER ....😎🤘🏻
Subscribed! I just fell down the Jinjer rabbit hole a few weeks ago. They are very very good. I’m honestly kind of mad at everyone who knew about them and didn’t tell me before now 😜
Love your videos very entertaining I agree she is a beast for shure her range is something I haven't seen in a long time
As I understand the history of the band is divided into 3 stages: 1. Non-commercial 2009-2014 (before the Donbass war) 2. 2015-2019, commercial, before world fame, 3. 2019-present - world fame. Features of the first stage: no studio albums, more punk, a different image of Tati: less tattoos, dreadlocks. Features of the second stage: studio albums, high-quality video clips, contracts, tours, change of drummer, and change Tatiana's image, high-quality progressive music. Their transition from the second stage to the third is Wacken 2019.
Tatiana is just a beast on stage, saw them live a few times... got blowing away every fckng time !
Tatiana (i hope i got that right) is a force of nature & obviously really fit cos she can be talking & be out of breath but get back into it like no worries
I just want to say THANK YOU for saying this correctly! It drives me nuts when people say wack-en 🤣
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HE DID IT
Spiritbox y jinjer, son metal fresco y delicioso al oído.... Son lo mejor que he visto en los últimos años...... Estoy impresionado de la calidad y talento de éstas chicas.... Son de lo mejor que existe....
Mis dos bandas número uno
"But now the rains weep o'er his hall with no one there to hear" - now that you mentioned it, yes, he does look a bit like Tyrion there! Nice reaction to the "Chick-Thing". Couldn´t have said it better.
Really enjoy your reactions and the informations about some of the gear you providing. Keep up the good work.
Not sure if I just missed it going through your video list, if I didn´t - check out "Infected rain - Orphan Soul". I listen to quite a bit of metal, but that amount of anger and despair in someone´s voice is new to me. Highly addictive, if you´re looking for pure emotion in music.
Greetings from Germany
Keep em coming. Your my new favorite channel. I have also toured with bands. I appreciate your views and thoughts.
Thanks, Stuart! Much appreciated!
Bruh these girls have a way more brutal vocals than i can try to produce... The girls in metal are brutal, anyone who disagrees can suck it 😁
Check out some older Jinjer...'Scissors'..'Outlander'..'Just Another'
Any live at Kiev videos that they've posted is what you're looking for! Them headlining with fantastic sound and lights!
I've been told "On The Top" is a really good one.
@@TankTheTech yes it is!
It's really great to see them live, stood close to Eugene, he is a beast and he emits soo much energy from the stage. If you can see them live, ofcourse do, its a no brainer :D
I love that you support all women in metal. Thank you! We are such an important part of the scene. I actually introduced my boyfriend to much of the metal i listen to. 😚
That's awesome!
Tatiana is absolutely one of the best vocalists in metal, gender completely aside. She's also a complete badass. Not to mention every member of this band are at the top of their game, I'm a rhythm section player and the drummer and bassist in this band are in my top 10 players for sure. These guys are something special, glad to see yet another person discover why :)
Who is gonna be the one (LIVE) is next great song for you to react. Nice reaction bro !
My dream concert for 2021 is Jinjer and Run the Jewels. I would love to hear those two groups collaborate.
Another great official live video is "Boyfriend" by Screaming Females. The singer is no Tatiana, but she's a phenomenal guitar player, and the live setting makes me miss being 23 and going to small packed venues.
I would absolutely pay to go see Jinjer and Run The Jewels together. What a crazy lineup that would be!
@@TankTheTech I bet they could get Zack de la Rocha to come out with Jinjer and cover some RATM songs.
That's my favorite from them but if you want to get your face ripped off then Who is gonna be the one is the one you want to watch next.... It's absolutely amazing.
I don't know why people DONT take it as a compliment when someone compliments the talents of a woman in metal. Because metal has been very mysoginistic for so long it's absolutely important to put emphasis on the great female players in music. Breaks down the walls for those who aren't comfortable with more women in heavy music.
Do Jinjer who is going to be the one live next. Tatiana goes hard.
yes, please do! 🤘
I've been waiting for you to come back to Jinjer. Hehe. I honestly think you will get a kick out of Pit Of Counsciousness live. It's a dark, heavy and brooding track, probably my favourite of the last album. Anyhow, loving your vids and passion for heavy!
Thanks Jeff! I'll throw that one onto the list of Jinjer as well! 🤘
100% agree with you on women in metal. I absolutely love arch enemy, spiritbox and now jinjer (I've obviously been living under a rock and just discovered jinjer)
Jinjer passed through Chicago last fall, I think. I didn't know then well enough, didn't have anyone to go with and missed it. Definitely regret it!
Not only a daytime slot but they were the opening act of the day on the second stage...
11:00 .. man .. I was standing there with the first coffee of the day in my hand. But what a day it was!
6:37 I love it when someone notices that she held that note so long. Tatiana has so much talent.
For what you described you want jinjer - on the top (live).
Idk if Jinjer has ever had a headlining slot at a festival, they are taking the metal scene by storm, but go back a year or two and they were pretty much unheard-of. They are even still playing at bars and night-clubs. I saw them live this last October, they played in a small dingy venue, probably 250-300 people, tickets were $20, but it was fantastic -i'm sure you've been there, in a place so small you can be at the very back and still be close to the stage.
One thing you will have to accept with Jinjer is they will never do what you expect them to do.
If you want to see them in their element at their own show they have two videos from a show in their hometown, Kyiv, Ukraine earlier this year. Look for Pit of Consciousness or On The Top live and you should find it. They are both absolutely flawless performances and they have the light show going, personally I like Pit of Consciousness, but they are both good
Watch the on the top live from Kiev video if you want to see what they can do with a huge stage and light show. Its badassery at its finest.
Saw these guys on their first headlining tour of the US in a pub in October 2019. Packed house (maybe 200 people) and it was fucking amazing
