Thanks for bringing in one of the premier epic style bands to your channel. Many rock/metal channels either ignore or refuse to mention or cover power/epic/symphonic style bands as they feel they are not "credible" or "cheesy" or whatever. This style of music has a huge global following so it was really, really cool to see Tommy rep Kamelot (been following that band since 2000!) and power/epic here. Hopefully some subscribers that are not familiar with Kamelot will be inspired to check them out. Keep the music palate varied, love it!
Thank you for the interview! Was nice to hear from Tommy ❤ The way Tommy viewed the quarantine as a break for his mental health is relatable af, for me it was a relief too as I was in a uni that I hated, had no friends there due to social anxiety, fell behind because I feared asking for help and was undersleeping having to get up early to get there. This is why I have a hard time relating to people who were not happy about lockdowns, although I do understand where a lot of them were coming from (like obviously loss of job or having to live with domestic abusers)
It's kinda nuts how the pandemic time actually both didn't and did blow by. I mean, it was such a tumultuous time, yet it's like it didn't happen. - To me, it only seems like 2 maybe 3 years ago that I was at the 013 concert they recorded in September 2018 and released in August 2020, but it has been over 4 years. And I already saw them on their current tour last weekend (granted, it was one of the first shows on their list), so... yea, time just flies. - They're a solid and fun live act, though, definitely recommended. - Tommy in particular is really impressive. I mean, he makes it seem effortless, while at the same he's doing so many acrobatics with his voice. - And then look at the tour-dates... It's almost every day, and in general the rule-of-thumb for vocalists is to have a rest-day in between every vocal-intensive day. - There were one or two moments that I noticed he had some trouble, but that's in like a one and a half hour show or something, plus a bunch of talking in between... He's really on top of his game, seemingly all the time.
Being from Tampa, I can't help but wonder if Mr. Youngblood appreciates the Calgary support lol. I love Kamelot, one of my top 10 favorite bands, and I can't wait for the new album. Feels like I've been waiting forever and I'm ready.
I accidentally found that new album on RUclips didn't even know they had a new one then I started listening to it and I like every song on it pretty much I love it I don't think it's all that heavy though I've heard some people say it's heavy I really don't think it's that bad but I think it's good it's got a really nice overall tone
His advice was exactly what I needed to hear. Such a strong man with maturity and reliable advice.
This is easily the best album of the Karevik Era. 9.5/10. Masterpiece.

Great interview. Sounds like the band makes good business decisions. I have not heard of Kamelot, so it's time to rectify that!
One of my favorite youtubers interviewing one of my biggest inspirations as a singer? Yes
