I love the look that people get when listening to Wintersun for the first time the look of “I don’t know what the fuck is going on but it’s great” also I want to note that jari (singer) lost half of one lung due to tuberculosis in his military days. He also composes all of their songs. Another one of the great Finnish musicians
When I first, a little while ago, very timidly approached this piece, it was because I wanted to see what Kai was doing before Nightwish. I was SURE that I wouldn't like it. I was raised on Barry Manilow. Nana Mouskouri. The Partridge Family. Hall and Oates. Sigh. I thought I could just , you know, SNEAK in and sit quietly by the door for a minute. Out of the way, and not bother anybody. And maybe crotchet or something. Ended up wanting to shriek up at the moon, like a blood crazed rabid werewolf. Cuz my DNA remembered that I'm half Viking, and half Pict. My lizard brain has explicit memories of going over Hadrian's little failed wall experiment, and slaughtering Roman soldiers. The other part of me KNOWS I grabbed up a war axe and laid waste to whole monasteries of monks, and stole everything that wasn't nailed down. Which is a hard thing to find out about yourself at MY age!
Love your comment :D Big fan of Wintersun myself! To me, their music expresses so many raw emotions. Last winter, it was like a brain massage (wake up, wake up!) each freezing morning on my way to work, preparing for the battles of the day :)
@@sylwia5595 I'm 57 for pits' sakes!!!!! Sigh.Since I decided to have a fast, thoroughly NON committal glance at Metallica, because I thought it was TIME....Turns out that James Hetfield is a gateway drug. Maiden, The Hu, Bloodywood, NIGHTWISH!!!!!! It all was LURKING like starved sharks, circling my life boat! James has a lot to answer for!
Greetings from Finland! Enjoyed your reaction very much, so please drink more of that morning coffee, lol. P.S. Jari Mäenpää (the vocalist/guitarist) is the heart of Wintersun & he wrote that calmer/slower interlude to this song so that Kai could take it easy behind the drums for a bit.
I miss Jukka a lot. He's such a great showman and drummer. However, Nightwish couldn't be in better hands than with Kai. That man is a weapon. Like a tactical nuke on drums. He's pure destruction. Incredible artists all around in this band.
Actually Kai and Jukka had known each other a long long time. Kai was the one who helped Jukka to improve his drumming and helped Jukka to fix "unhealthy" drumming techniques.
When you say 'we' you mean the musically inept right? You don't need to be a musician to catch all the elements. Just listen to it over and over if you have low aural skills. Most extreme metal fans hear exactly the same as them. These musicians just react this way because it is so god damn good.
I cant help it but im like, crying everytime im listening to this song because its so stupidly epic (been a fan since the beginning, 2004) and I still cry to this song, even after 10 million of times listening to it. :D
THIS. This band is very special to me. If posting photos was allowed here, I would've photographed and made you a special collage of your facial expressions to this one, lol. You forgot to pause, don't blame you :D And Travis looked totally speechless at the end 🤭
Love you both, one metalhead drummer without a band to other metalheads WITH THE BAND. so much respect for you and keep making music. It is a blessing!
It was nice to watch your reaction from my other favorite band. Epic, isn't it ... and Kai behind the drums really killed it. Check out "Time" from this band. And after that if you want to surprise, then "Loneliness".
Great reaction! 👍🏼😊 Jari Mäenpää (singer guitarist) is mastermind behind the band. Wintersun started as his soloproject and he had to leave Ensiferum (great band also) because Wintersun took so much time. Other wizards are Teemu Mäntysaari (guitar backing vocals), Jukka Koskinen (bass backing vocals) and of course Kai. Jari is focusing on singing and they hired Asim Searah to play guitar. Hope you continue with Wintersun... there is still two songs from same rehearsals Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼
How about Bloodred Hourglass - Waves of black. Also band from Finland. Or Insomnium - Heart like a grave. Same country as well. Also now you have to do Time from the same rehearsal by Wintersun. That's EPIC.
Showing off? This is pretty par for the course with Jari Mäenpää😆 Dude recorded all the instruments on the first 2 albums, except for the drums. Vocally he is even more impressive, given that he sings like that while missing half of one of his lungs from Teburculosis. Definitely check out more from these guys. You'll dig it.
Well Kai is probably the best drummer in Finland. You he used to play other genre than just metal. And Wintersun is one the best metal bands world wide. Seen them live couple of times and they murdered it.
LOL, it is so funny to see ppl react to this, everybody seems to almost melt in their chairs.... And Kai the human metronome is just exhausted in the end. Sticks fly to floor soon as he's done.
Dude starts to sing.... Suzi looks at the camera wondering who's gonna die today... Travis: What's in your coffee today? My face is melting! 😂🤣😂 Glad you guys enjoyed the video, had a good laugh. Very complex, and awesome musicianship by ALL members. Vocals kicked ass too. You guys need to react to Slipknot "Nero Forte" official video, you're gonna rock to this, I promise. That is the kind of song you put on and kick somebody's ass. Lmao Enjoy! 😊❤🤘🤘
This one is absolute masterpiece. I think this might be called some viking anthem. Vocals, drums, harps and flute melodies, all perfect. Somewhat harsh, but romantic poetry of lyrics during intermezzo. Chants. Overall melody. Gives you an atmosphere of vikings preparing to raid, and sailing. Magnificent piece of art. Don't know if you noticed or not, but for me it really stands out, that lead singer does vocals and plays at the same time. Afaik, this is really hard thing to do, and it is given, if you don't have such a talent, it is unbelievably hard to train it. And he has lost half of his lung during military service, yet his voice is still strong, clear and he can do clean, fry and growls. 😍😃 May i suggest other one i believe you may like Kamelot ft Alissa White-Gluz - Liar Liar (official video) 🙏😍
I usually dislike who's get unseriously fun from my favourite band, like you did at the beginning, but then you finally reached the essence of the song and the band and you totally changed the way you've listened and enjoyed it ;) so you are safe from my rageee, muahaha!😈 😁
at first I decided that drunken clowns, then it was funny to watch how the guy's grin changes to the realization of what kind of musicians he encountered :) the girl came to her senses in the second half of the composition. Well, at least they liked it, it's already good. In general, the theme of jokes is incomprehensible during a serious composition.

@@sausagefinger12 and he is just a pure genius!
(it was actually 1/4 of a lung, not half)
yeah, Sons of Winter and Stars-reacts have become basically their own channel for me :D

Finland. The happiest country in the World, and it`s because of music 🥰
YES🇫🇮!! Kai Hahto on drums💪🖤!!!
@@Asa-Maria Perkele...
The harmony beetween band is Awesome 🤘
WINTERSUN - Time (live @ Sonic Pump studios)
cheers!
THIS!
Agreed! 🤘🏼
Yep! This!
Yes even better, agreed
I add my vote for "Time" as well \m/
The best band ever, period. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴😊
I'm glad someone requested this. Such an awesome song. Your reaction was awesome as always
It`s a defining moment in your life the first time you hear Wintersun.
This song is a symphony! Enough riffs and melodies to last a lifetime! Every part is above awesome.
When I first, a little while ago, very timidly approached this piece, it was because I wanted to see what Kai was doing before Nightwish. I was SURE that I wouldn't like it.

Welcome home
Never too late :). Enjoy!
@@warhammer5690 Why, thank you! ;)
Next AMORPHIS - THE BEE !! 😎🤘
This one next, please?!
Amorphis THE FORGOTTEN SUNRISE... The Doom Days of this Band are The Best🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
One of the cleanest harsh vocals, this guy has.
Haha, never thought about that, but it really makes a lot of sense lol :D
The craziest of it is that he pushes these vocals out without his full lung capacity.
I agree with Yoda.
Greetings from Finland! Enjoyed your reaction very much, so please drink more of that morning coffee, lol.
P.S. Jari Mäenpää (the vocalist/guitarist) is the heart of Wintersun & he wrote that calmer/slower interlude to this song so that Kai could take it easy behind the drums for a bit.

it's nice to know that Kai and Jukka are best friends. and Jukka is still in the background with Nightwish
@@Marco-Conner Jukka is the one that called him.
@@Droogie128 I said it before - he knew what he was doing. He wouldn't have saddled Nightwish with an inferior drummer.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Actually Kai and Jukka had known each other a long long time. Kai was the one who helped Jukka to improve his drumming and helped Jukka to fix "unhealthy" drumming techniques.
YES! Just so much YES! This, live, especially your first actual concert, your faces descide it all. FLOORED AF!
Love you guys. Your spontaneous joy is quite contagious.
It's so cool watching other musicians react. They hear things that we don't hear and I love that.
When you say 'we' you mean the musically inept right? You don't need to be a musician to catch all the elements. Just listen to it over and over if you have low aural skills.
Most extreme metal fans hear exactly the same as them. These musicians just react this way because it is so god damn good.
Try Wintersun: Loneliness please! ❤️🤘🤘
best song this world.
did you realize the bassiste was the bass man of Norther
I cant help it but im like, crying everytime im listening to this song because its so stupidly epic (been a fan since the beginning, 2004) and I still cry to this song, even after 10 million of times listening to it. :D
Heavy Metal done right. Naturally, from FINLAND. I love these guys. TOTALLY Epic. \m/ ;) \m/
Cheers from Aus.
Also, whatever you guys are smokin is obviously AWESOME!! hehehehehe Rock on.
The Finns regard Metal as a natural resource of Finland
No words !!!’ They are amazing..
Well the singer is the mastermind behind this band, he compose all these songs byt himself. I think.
Great reaction . Guys ..those giggles.. 😂😂😂...but seriously Wintersun...wow ...just wow ..🤟🤟🤟🤟
I always visiting for tricks's answer at 3:55 hahah. Suzie, you are awesome :D
Kai IS the click track for the metronome 🤣
Kai`s drumming is awesome...........
THIS. This band is very special to me. If posting photos was allowed here, I would've photographed and made you a special collage of your facial expressions to this one, lol. You forgot to pause, don't blame you :D And Travis looked totally speechless at the end 🤭

Wow, i just wanted to request this song after watching some of you Nightwish reactions. And there you come.😃
Great reaction! 👍🏼😊

That girl in the blue cap is wonderful !
Epic song! Epic reactions! Great time watching this! :o)))
Wintersun doesn’t make songs, they make compositions. World class musicians.
Thank you for the nice video once again, do more wintersun please :) Time and forest that weaps for starters....
there must be something in the Finnish water....epic after epic after epic....amazing
Must be the smurf head :D Its not the coffee its the Head
That's the perfect breakfast song. After that you're pumped up sufficiently to face life.... :)
Thx for the smurf review ;)
You guys are so freakin fun to watch
Dude starts to sing....
Suzi looks at the camera wondering who's gonna die today...
Travis: What's in your coffee today?
My face is melting! 😂🤣😂
Glad you guys enjoyed the video, had a good laugh.
Very complex, and awesome musicianship by ALL members. Vocals kicked ass too. You guys need to react to Slipknot "Nero Forte" official video, you're gonna rock to this, I promise. That is the kind of song you put on and kick somebody's ass. Lmao Enjoy! 😊❤🤘🤘

May i suggest other one i believe you may like
Kamelot ft Alissa White-Gluz - Liar Liar (official video) 🙏😍
Well now i have to subscribe! 🤘
Its amazing how that singer can sing so powerfull, because he lost his other side of the lung to infection years ago.
Is here someone else who always got "deja vu" while listening Wintersun....
CHILDREN OF BODOM ... are drowning again :D
Kai is MVP in this lol
Your guess is as good as YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Técnicamente perfectos...!!!!, saludos desde Chile...\../\../\../
Jari was able to play like that when he was 18 - this is not showing off. These guys are just on that level :D
I usually dislike who's get unseriously fun from my favourite band, like you did at the beginning, but then you finally reached the essence of the song and the band and you totally changed the way you've listened and enjoyed it ;) so you are safe from my rageee, muahaha!😈 😁
Holly shit! 💪🤘
You cant help but to move during this onslaught
OH SHIT ...NIGHTWISH AND WINTERSUN BACK TO BACK ...HELL YEAH !!!!! LETS GO !!!!.....THE EXPRESSIONS ON YOUR FACES FUCKING KILL ME ..
Kiitos :)
Hi. I like you both reacting. Keep it that way. And Suzy´s voice when y sing! I personally like Last man standing.
Suzy q bopping around looking like a little smurf 😅
This is musical perfection in my opinion.
Awesome, yu need to listen to Loneliness by wintersun, amazing song and great vocals
Jukka was Animal when he played for Nightwish! 😋
Love this band so much 🤟
A good day when you find both this and Design your Universe!
if you are so into Kai Hahto then do some Rotten Sound, band where he played before Wintersun and Nightwish
What about SWALLOW THE SUN?
This is just an insane song!
kai is a beast
Septicflesh - The Vampire from Nazareth (official live video) ^^
Kai really needs to pull his weight more.😂 Great reaction as usual.
Masterpiece💓✌🤘
Wintergasm 🤘
I had the same reaction to the bouncing blue haired gnome reaction... Love what you do folks. ;)
Kai letting his beastly side show.
NOW I am awake 🤪
