Hey Brian, glad you liked our music! Have to say, no idea where that ”post grunge” came from, we are pretty sure we have never used that label ourselves, but well, what can you do :D Props for a fun video!
OMGGGGG!!! My jaw just dropped broke into a million pieces and I cannot believe that you guys came across this video! Thank you so much! 😂😂😂 sorry, my girl and I are a single team and she puts together the biggest and most wanted bands in the countries and categorized them by what comes up on Google/what she hears. Thank you so much for dropping a comment, I am left with absolutely no words! This just made my day. You guys are KILLLLERRR! I was just watching a live performance of you all on RUclips and I cannot wait to see you guys when you come to Florida! :)
I know right! Especially some of their old, more emotional stuff is breathtaking (Cradled in Love, Given and Denied, Poet and the Muse, Where Do We Draw the Line - to name a few). I feel they deserve way more visibility.
@@glowner7878 well they have never really Been that big in Finland and neither really made international breakthrough like HIM, Rasmus or Nightwish did. Yes people recognize their music but never have they been anywhere near among The most popular bands here which I think is great shame.
You're wrong about Nightwish. The singer in the video was Anette, in The Phantom of the opera it was their first singer Tarja Turunen who was singing. Annette was their second singer and now they have another singer called Floor. You should do more Nightwish, more recent songs! How could you forget HIM ???? The best Finnish band ever imo. Unfortunately they disbanded last year, but they still have a huge loyal fan base all over the world. Join me in Death was their biggest hit, but they've done so many other incredible songs! I just love them forever. Please react to HIM next time!!!!
I think he's referring to different Phantom of the Opera though, you're right that Tarja was the one who sang it in Nightwish, but the song is originally by Andrew Lloyd Webber for the opera by the same name and in premiere it was sung by Sarah Brightman if I remember correctly (at least at some point she sung it)
@@Khaotika Yes you're right about that. And I have heard Sarah Brightman sing it many times. Didn't hear that he said movie, was only thinking about Nightwish lol.
and I didn't notice the "movie" either and assumed he was talking about the original :D in the Phantom of the Opera (2014) movie it was sung by Emmy Rossum
the old joke holds true to this day: A German, a Frenchman, and a Finn go to the zoo. They stop by the elephant enclosure and look at the elephants. The German thinks to himself: "Can elephants hate?" The Frenchman thinks to himself: "Can elephants love?" The Finn thinks to himself: "I wonder what that elephant thinks of me?"
Sunrise Avenue is very popular in Europe, especially in Germany. The singed Samu Haber was even asked to join the Voice of Germany as one of the judges, which he did. He didn't even speak German when he decided to join, but learned it for the show. He instantly became a superstar in Germany. Talk about talent. He's a very likable person as well.
I'm from Finland and I love watching foreighners reacting to finnish music ❤ it somehow makes me proud and happy that you like our music and reminds me to appreciate it. Thank you!
I've understood it's part of their image to have Finnish accent. Also some of their lyrics aren't the best English, there are many flaws in them, but they have decided not to correct them, but keep them as they were written. Even thought they sing in English, they don't try to be like native English speakers, they are Finnish and that's it.
Sunrise Avenue is probably my favourite band, you should listen to Fairytale gone bad (classic!), Heartbreak century, Welcome to my life, I help you hate me etc. :D they have so many great songs. But hearing you compare Samu's voice to Swedish accent... aaarrghhh
HIM - Right Here In My Arms The 69 Eyes: Dead N' Gone Cheek - Timantit on ikuisia SANNI - Me ei olla enää me Chisu - Baden-Baden Haloo Helsinki! - Pulp Fiction SomBy: Ii Iđit vel
Very old ... :) Rock'n'Roll is from the 50's (as a mainstream music). And that's young in the history of music. And all pop, heavy etc. is based on that. Well, with some spicies from other styles of music.
I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking the guy with dreads looked like such a grown up, but now I was shocked at what a kid he actually was X'D I've gotten old
Nope, not with Nightwish, and I doubt it'll ever happen either. I know the current singer performed it on her own with other male metal singers in the past.
Yeah Tarja was the one singing there version of the song from Andrew Lloyd Webber's British musical with the same name. Webber's wife at the time the musical had premier in West End, Sarah Brightman was the one singing it then. The musical is based on the french book with the same name by Gaston Leroux.
Holy crap I had no idea that Hollywood Hills was by this band. This is such a worldwide known song I had no idea it was Finnish. Still didnt do HIM - “Join Me” though. It is such a classic song!
I didn't either (but it was also the first time to hear this song). I think their earlier hit (Fairytale Gone Bad) is better. But this was not that bad (they make usually good music).
Omg thank you so much for including Sunrise Avenue, this is my favourite band of all time😭😍 greetings from Germany, the boys are very popular over here😊
Korpiklaani - rauta battlebeast - touch in the night Turisas - Stand up and fight Jenni Vartiainen - Missä muruseni on Johanna Kurkela - Kuolevainen Haloo Helsinki! - Beibi SANNI - Me ei olla enää me Vesala - Tequila Nightwish - Taikatalvi TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure SONATA ARCTICA - I Have A Right Mokoma - Kuu Saa Valtansa Auringolta APULANTA - Ravistettava ennen käyttoä
Dude, about Poets of the fall, I have seen them 20 times live in Finland and Germany, and will go to Germany again in October to see them 5 more times!!! They are INCREDIBLE!! I'm so glad you found them! Unfortunately, they don't tour USA yet, even after 15 years going strong in Europe. They need FM mainstream air play and most stations won't give an unknown band in the USA air time, no matter their European status. I run the USA street team for them and we are trying really hard to spread the word. I will pass along this video to some FM stations and maybe they will give them a chance! Also, what you just experienced is what we fans call the Poets of the Fall phenomenon, it just over takes you :D Welcome aboard!! Added: Also, the lyrics of Poets of the Fall surpass any band I know. Every album just blows me away!
Your reactions are delightful! You seem so happy about Finnish music that it makes me smile :) I'm gonna throw in some older music (mostly rock), because this is the stuff I was raised on. Hanoi Rocks - Up Around the Bend (glam rock/rock) music video from 1984, so the quality ain't that high Hurriganes - Shorai Shorai (rock) no music video but the song's from 1979. BTW, the name's "Shorai Shorai" only because of the accent, originally it was meant to be "It's alright, it's alright" TikTak - Kyyneleet (pop) a school time classic from early 2000s Aikakone - Odota (eurodance/pop) just nostalgia from 1995 Leevi and the Leavings - Teuvo maanteiden kuningas (rock) from late 1980s. The best thing about Leevi and the Leavings are the tragicomic lyrics which sadly do not come across unless you know Finnish, but I think the sound is interesting enough.
Up Around the Bend is a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song by the same name, so I would rather recommend Tragedy by Hanoi Rocks, which I think is a better song anyway.
@@katipertel9621 oh, okey. Well he could still react to them. Maybe some song he hasn't heard in a while or something. No one ever reacts to Him so thats why it would be cool.
Jonna Savolainen I know, HIM is one of my favourite bands all the times. Ville deserves all attention to him and even more. I don't know it is first reaction video or just a reaction video?
Hi, awesome video, thank you for that! :) Here is a few songs from different genres that I think could fit the third video if you happen to keep doing these: Cheek - Timantit on ikuisia (he ended his career last weekend and is pretty much the most famous mainstream musician/rapper in Finland) Petri Nygård - Selvä Päivä ft. Lord Est (rap/party style song) Evelina - Kylmii Väreitä (pop) Apulanta - Pahempi Toistaan (rock) Santa Cruz - Young Blood Rising (hard/glam(?) rock) Amorphis - The Bee (metal, also u should listen to at least 2.30 since there is two different type of clean vocal choruses ps. there's also a lot of growling in the song) These are all in the newer side of Finnish music (except maybe Apulanta), but there is also many awesome classics to choose from but I tried to keep my list short. Keep doing reactions to music from different countries!
As a huge fan of Poets of the Fall, I'm so happy that you enjoyed listening to them. They sadly don't do tours in the US, but I hope to see then live one day.
Part 3 please :) Nightwish "The Phantom Of The Opera ruclips.net/video/8VgLKXD-BoY/видео.html Sonata Arctica - Tallulah Ensiferum - lai lai hei Ensiferum - lady in black Turisas - Rasputin Fear Of Domination - Obsession Lordi - Bloodred sandman Anssi kela - nummela Apulanta - Pahempi toistaan Lovex - Guardian Angel Evelina - Honey ft. Mikael Gabriel Saara Aalto -Monsters Anna Abreu - Ra-ta ta-ta Arttu Wiskari - Mökkitie Cristal Snow - Cristal Clear Movetron - Romeo ja Julia
More finnish songs to react Apulanta - Pahempi Toistaan (or almost any other song) Pikku G - Me ollaan nuoriso Ievan Polkka (maybe performed by loituma)
They're all finnish bands but only one of them was sung in finnish. Why? :( I give my vote to Apulanta! A song Pahempi toistaan or Valot pimeyksien reunalla or Armo. Also great songs are: Maj Karma - Ukkonen Kotiteollisuus - Helvetistä Itään Viikate - Viina, terva & hauta Chisu - Kohtalosta itään Cheek - Sokka irt Btw, did you know Apocalyptica is from Finland? ;)
Whoever picked "Amaranth" over "The Sleeping Sun" or "Bless the Child" should be fired. Or "Nemo", or "Wish I Had an Angel". Yeah, the last one would've been the best. For your next video, try a band called Amorphis. Either "Silver Bride" or "House of Sleep". Also a song called "Clouds" by Redrama is awesome. And definitely some Apocalyptica song, probably should try either "I'm not Jesus" feat. Corey Taylor(yes, that Corey Taylor), or "I don't care" feat Adam Gontier. If you want something in that's in finnish, I'd recommend "Boom Kah" by Robin. :D You could also listen to Johanna Kurkela, who is the wife of Tuomas Holopainen, the composer/keyboard player for Nightwish. (Yes, the nipple man!) "Sudenmorsian" is an amazing song. OH! I have one more, then I'll shut up. "Up Around the Bend" by Hanoi Rocks.
Good Stuff! Next time please react one of these: Yö - Joutsenlaulu Egotrippi - Matkustaja Elastinen - Anna sen soida Raappana - Maasta maahan Aurora - Se soi Pikku G - Solmussa Disco - Levottomat tuulet
I don't know where you take the genres for these songs, but categorizing Poets of the Fall to Post-Grunge is quite weird choice. I was quite surprised that you compared Marko Saaresto (the lead singer of PotF, BTW he's not bald IRL :D ) to David Draiman from Disturbed, as they are very different, but both sure do have very distinct voices. I personally I love both bands. Also while Amaranth was a decent choice for Nightwish, I think it didn't quite feel right for this purpose, as the lead singer for that song isn't Finnish. Instead I would love to see you react to their older music, which still has Tarja Turunen as the lead singer, for example songs like Nemo, Wish I had an angel, and Wishmaster. Other bands/songs that I would love to see you react to are HIM - Right here in my arms, HIM - Wings of a butterfly, HIM - Under the rose, Apocalyptica - Bittersweet, Don Huonot - Seireeni, Eppu Normaali - Baarikärpänen, Apulanta - Viisaus ei asu meissä, Stam1na - Lääke.
Considering that the time limit is 2 minutes, there are basically only a handful of Nightwish songs that even get out of the intro in that time ;) OK, a "slight" overexaggeration! I think Apocalyptica, HIM and Amorphis are the big ones missing, and then something by Eppu Normaali, Sielun Veljet etc. But we are happy to have had this much, at least :)
I knew you will like Sunrise Avenue! I just knew that!! Next Apocalyptica, The Rasmus and HIM together" Bittersweet", please! Best wishes from Estonia!
I love the fact that you actually listened to something like Poets of the Fall and not just the top hits which just make me embarrassed.... :D You should definitely do part 3! And include some Pariisin Kevät. Matkalla Etelään or something like that.
Poets Of The Fall is the best band. They're actually my favorite band of all time. They're just great. Also, "post grunge" may not be the best genre to categorize them in. They are basically "alternative rock", though, they can branch out and do many other sounds. Super talented band.
Thank you sooooo much Finlande for such amazing bands !! Him, Nightwish ans others.. I cannot imagine my life withoit their music. Greetings from Russia🤘❤❤❤
I love Sunrise Avenue so much! I will finally see them live for the first time this month, unfortunately it's their last tour ever but I'm glad I still got the chance to see them 🥰
Damn I love Poets of the fall. They give me chills everytime with their epic songs. And the singer is very good actor in their amazing music videos : D
Cool that you reacted to Sunrise Avenue! They used to be one of my favorite bands ever! And I'm actually glad that you listened to one of their older songs because in my opinion they lost a little track with their new music. Check out their stuff from the early early days, that's the Sunrise Avenue Spirit! :)
Please keep making these! I rarely actually enjoy any content on youtube these days but these vids actually make me smile and make me feel warm inside, thank u thank u thank u
If you want to listen to more of Poets of the Fall, they are releasing a new album in a little over a month, including a new single in about a week! There is more to the band than what you hear from one song, they release all their albums as trilogies and both the songs and their artwork (album covers etc.) are full of little easter eggs and references. While Marko (the vocalist) is a very talented singer, the main selling point of the band is in the lyrics and how they're all connected to each other. If you want another song suggestion, I recommend Cradled in Love by them.
JVG (Old name Jare and Ville-Galle) is a duo. And the third guy who sings at the chorus is Teemu Brunila (or that the ppl think) Bomfunk MC is a old band back from the 90's You should next to listen: Teemu Brunilas old band, The Crash - Lauren caught my eye (Teemu is also singing in Studio Killers) HIM - Join Me In Death Apocalyptica - I Don't Care ft. Adam Gontier
Like your video! And I love Sunrise Avenue, especially this song. Heard it on the radio so many times when I grew up! Would be cool if you could do this with Swedish music as well!
More finnish songs: Sunrise avenue - fairytale gone bad Tippa - roska silmäs feat. JVG Robin - hula hula feat. Nelli Matula Especially I recommend to you Sunrise avenue. It's an amazing band.
Oh yessss, part 3 please! We finns love when someone explores finnish culture and the language. You should have Antti Tuisku in your next vid, maybe a song called swäg. It also has JVG in it!
Thank you for these 2 videos, I've enjoyed them so much! :) Personal comments: 1st: I love the first song "tarkenee" although I'm not a huge hip hop/rap fan as you said it's such an uplifting song and people go crazy when they play it at clubs! So many fun memories from that song!! 2nd: As people have pointed out the original singer of Nightwish was Tarja Turunen, and once she was replaced with Anette it was highly frowned upon. People (including me) thought she was too "pop" for the hard rock band.
Apulanta - Armo Cmx, kotiteollisuus, 51 koodia - Vapaus johtaa kansaa Kolmas nainen - Tästä asti aikaa Kirka - Hengaillaan For some reggae Keko Salata - ilmasta lovee
Definitely try the band Apulanta. :) Maybe 'Hei hei mitä kuuluu', but others have proposed other good songs too. If you are fond of odd concepts, maybe: Soul captain band - Mitä suurempi puu At least if the concept of Finnish reggae is odd enough for you. :D And there would be a lot of Finnish tango - check Täysikuu by Olavi Virta or Satumaa by Reijo Taipale - although the main audience for Tango are 60+ and Kaurismäki movies nowadays.
You have such a passion for music that it's just wholesome to watch! This video brought me such fluffy feels. I hope you'll do a part 3 and listen to more recent songs that we have! These are all ageless and good, but still a tad old.
I was on Poets of the Fall live concert last summer and they did perform Carnival of Rust and it was so beautiful hearing it live. Marko Saaresto has very unique and beautiful sound.
Poets of the Fall is amazing live!! I've seen them multiple times and Carnival of Rust never fails to make me cry, it's INCREDIBLE live... Much love from Finland!
To have a little peak into ancient mythology of Finland, I recommend a Folk Metal song; Korpiklaani - Lempo Or alternatively Korpiklaani - Ukon Wacka. I also recommend Poets of the Fall - Beautiful Ones. As for Rap, Nikke Ankara - Perjantai 13.
This is how these music reactions should be done. You simply are the best in my opinion when it comes to the way you've done this video. I didn't even know Poets of the fall or them to be finnish. Only heard it on the radio a lot through my childhood.
As you seemed to react a lot of Finnish stuff made me to subscribe. Me as an Finnish guy who likes to stay in the states it’s kind of pleasure to see. Keep up the vids mate!
Turmion Kätilöt - Sikiö Apulanta - Mitä kuuluu Lasten Hautausmaa - Onnellinen hullu Pää kii - Ees jotain positiivista Avain - Punainen tiili Irwin Goodman - Työmiehen lauantai
Just found this channel and totally love it. A finn living far from home in Australia these tunes teleported me right back where Iäm from. Canät wait to see more of your videos.
Great videos! Here are some more Finnish song suggestions: Don Johnson Big Band - Running Man Jess and the Ancient Ones - Astral Sabbat Stratovarius - The Land of Ice and Snow Galaxion - Through the Space Yö - Rakkaus on Lumivalkoinen
HIM- WINGS OF A BUTTERFLY ( GOTH METAL/ALTERNATIVE METAL/HARD ROCK) HIM- JOIN ME HIM- KILLING LONELINESS Apocalytptica ft Adam Gontier(THREE DAYS GRACE)- i DON`T CARE Within Temptation ft Tarja Turunen ( ex/first singer of Nightwish) - What about us? APULANTA - Pahempi Toistaan Jean Sibelius- Finlandia Lauri-Heavy Neljä Ruusua- Mustia Ruusuja Egotrippi- Matkustaja Johanna Kurkela- Kuolevainen Eppu Normaali- Näin Kulutan Aikaa Happoradio- Puhu äänellä jonka kuulen Cheek- Keinu
Finnish music is actually very popular in Europe (i also hope that in the whole world) - plus there's soooo many kinds of this music it's just amazing. And i know plenty of songs that i didn't even suspect to be from Finland :D congrats and love from Poland 😁💕🇫🇮🇵🇱
Hi, There has been three female singers in Nightwish - first one was Tarja Turunen who sang in the song phantom of the opera, in this video the singer is Anette Olson (Sweden), and in the picture that you see before the video is Floor Jansen (Netherlands) who is the current singer of Nightwish.
A BIG MEGA YES! Please do part 3! I would love to see your reaction on children of bodom, Sonata arctica, the new Nightwish with the new singer, catamenia, turisas, charon. Just to name some good artist! Please review!
Damn ... this really takes me back. Even though I'm Finnish, I can't believe that I've forgotten all these great bands like the Poets of the Fall for instance. Thanks for this reminder !
You should definitely do a third one!!! Could you react to HIM? I've never heard a song I didn't love by them, they have a completely different sound from any other band I've heard and they created their own genre of music. Linde's guitar just stops your heart and Ville's voice can just melt your soul. It's crazy man, it all melds together so well. Every single member of HIM created this unique sound that builds off of each other perfect in every song. Safe to say that HIM is one of my favorite bands xD
@@Busha69 I do like Floor and I do think she might "save" Nightwish, but for me the magic is gone for me because I really liked Tarjas classically trained voice in conjunction with the heavy and/or "spiritual" sound of old Nightwish. I would not say that Floor is better, but she is different and has a different take on the music, I do wish she would use more of her classical voice than she does now.
Kinda surprised by your statement, The transition with Annette was rough indeed, not because she wasn't talented but imo her voice didn't fit the nightwish we know. But damn, have you checked the lives with Floor ? Ghost love score in wacken for example, to me not only is she incredibly talented, she also respects the timings way better than tarja imo :o
Yeah, your reaction to Poets of the Fall is *extremely* familiar - the same thing happened to me in back 2013. :-) I actually found them via the video game Alan Wake. In the game, there are these little radios scattered around the levels, and in one area in an abandoned warehouse, I flipped on one of the radios and I was so mesmerized by what I heard I actually had trouble concentrating on fighting the bad guys. Once I'd cleared the area and killed all the enemies, I went back to the radio, played the song again, and just sat there and listened with my eyes closed and my jaw on the floor (that song was called "War," in case you want to look it up). That moment, finding Poets, genuinely changed my life. Carnival of Rust, by the way, is my absolute favorite song on the planet, so that was a great song to start with. :-) The band actually did a live studio version of it a couple of years ago for the Genelec music channel, and I almost like that version better than the original album version. Here's a link if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/dGwA01vntnc/видео.html
Oh, and I also wanted to add that I'm not sure what the "post grunge" thing is about (I've never heard that label applied to Poets before), but Poets of the Fall tend to classify their music as "Cinematic Rock."
Thank you for loving finnish music, i have pleasure seeing poets of the fall live two times allready, and for sure seeing them again. And their new album is mind blowing :)

Loved he's reactions so far but as soon as Carnival Of Rust started to play my whole body was in shivers for a long time
It actually says "post grunge" on the side when you Google "Poets of the Fall".
Fucking POETS OF THE FALL answered :0 omg, lucky you!!!
RIGHT! I died when I saw that!
I swear, if anyone here in Sweden hears as much as one second of Freestyler they go wild. That song is our god.
Hahahaha, really? Thank you for the information. I now have my secret weapon against the Sweds 😝
Also in Poland, I remember it was a HIT on school dances :D
I think the whole Europe was on the ffffreestyler
Norwegian here and I can't belive he hadn't heard it before? LOL
@@Busha69 absolutely here in the Netherlands as well. I knew it wasn't American but I never knew it was Finnish
Nightwish video is inspired by famous painting Wounded angel by Hugo Simberg.
I was here to tell the same thing. My favorite painting of the all time.
I was thinking just that. I knew it was a painting, but I didn't know its name
fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavoittunut_enkeli
And it`s kind of sacrilege to call her fallen angel as he said in the video...
I didn't know that. :o That's interesting
I'm so glad you featured Poets of the Fall. They're amazing but very underrated and unknown even here in Finland.
Mistweaver Deanna I can’t even imagine that being possible! Poets of the Fall is literally one of the best bands I heard in a while
I know right! Especially some of their old, more emotional stuff is breathtaking (Cradled in Love, Given and Denied, Poet and the Muse, Where Do We Draw the Line - to name a few). I feel they deserve way more visibility.
I don't know what you mean underrated, not many people know the band by name but almost everyone can recognize and probs like their music
That is precisely what I mean; they are not acknowledged enough for their exceptional music.
@@glowner7878 well they have never really Been that big in Finland and neither really made international breakthrough like HIM, Rasmus or Nightwish did. Yes people recognize their music but never have they been anywhere near among The most popular bands here which I think is great shame.
You're wrong about Nightwish. The singer in the video was Anette, in The Phantom of the opera it was their first singer Tarja Turunen who was singing. Annette was their second singer and now they have another singer called Floor. You should do more Nightwish, more recent songs! How could you forget HIM ???? The best Finnish band ever imo. Unfortunately they disbanded last year, but they still have a huge loyal fan base all over the world. Join me in Death was their biggest hit, but they've done so many other incredible songs! I just love them forever. Please react to HIM next time!!!!
I think he's referring to different Phantom of the Opera though, you're right that Tarja was the one who sang it in Nightwish, but the song is originally by Andrew Lloyd Webber for the opera by the same name and in premiere it was sung by Sarah Brightman if I remember correctly (at least at some point she sung it)

And nice tidbit that Annette is actually Swedish. Only Finnish singer on Nightwish was Tarja :)
Finnish people will flock to wherever we are mentioned on the internet, that's just how it goes... Mention our stuff and people will love you.
the old joke holds true to this day:
A German, a Frenchman, and a Finn go to the zoo. They stop by the elephant enclosure and look at the elephants.
The German thinks to himself: "Can elephants hate?"
The Frenchman thinks to himself: "Can elephants love?"
The Finn thinks to himself: "I wonder what that elephant thinks of me?"
Yes! I'm loving these vids! Greetings from Finland! You shoud do part 3!

Yes daddy!

Sunrise Avenue is very popular in Europe, especially in Germany. The singed Samu Haber was even asked to join the Voice of Germany as one of the judges, which he did. He didn't even speak German when he decided to join, but learned it for the show. He instantly became a superstar in Germany. Talk about talent. He's a very likable person as well.
The Nightwish video is actually inspired by a famous painting called "Wounded Angel" by Hugo Simberg.

Thank you!
"He has a Swedish accent"
OH BOY Now you screwed up and bad xD
He has no self-protection instinct
I've understood it's part of their image to have Finnish accent. Also some of their lyrics aren't the best English, there are many flaws in them, but they have decided not to correct them, but keep them as they were written. Even thought they sing in English, they don't try to be like native English speakers, they are Finnish and that's it.
Many native English speakers also take liberties when it comes to grammar in song lyrics.
it's ironic because he has a weird accent too, kinda sounds like he was born somewhere else other than the states
Well, America is a lot more than just the US, is it not?
Sunrise Avenue is probably my favourite band, you should listen to Fairytale gone bad (classic!), Heartbreak century, Welcome to my life, I help you hate me etc. :D they have so many great songs. But hearing you compare Samu's voice to Swedish accent... aaarrghhh

Freestyler is very old finnish music. It's from 1999 ;)
I feel very old now... It was a big hit when I was a teen.
Very old ... :) Rock'n'Roll is from the 50's (as a mainstream music).
And that's young in the history of music. And all pop, heavy etc. is based on that. Well, with some spicies from other styles of music.
I remember seeing it for the first time and thinking the guy with dreads looked like such a grown up, but now I was shocked at what a kid he actually was X'D I've gotten old
I felt old the moment he called the MiniDisc player remote "an mp3 player".
and I was young adult in -99.. Omg.. How old am I... :D
Phantom of the opera was made with Tarja Turunen, not sure if the other two women have recorded that one though.
Nope, not with Nightwish, and I doubt it'll ever happen either. I know the current singer performed it on her own with other male metal singers in the past.
Nightwish actually has a song called phantom of the Opera.

Wöyh!
Dude, about Poets of the fall, I have seen them 20 times live in Finland and Germany, and will go to Germany again in October to see them 5 more times!!! They are INCREDIBLE!! I'm so glad you found them! Unfortunately, they don't tour USA yet, even after 15 years going strong in Europe. They need FM mainstream air play and most stations won't give an unknown band in the USA air time, no matter their European status. I run the USA street team for them and we are trying really hard to spread the word. I will pass along this video to some FM stations and maybe they will give them a chance! Also, what you just experienced is what we fans call the Poets of the Fall phenomenon, it just over takes you :D Welcome aboard!!
Added: Also, the lyrics of Poets of the Fall surpass any band I know. Every album just blows me away!
Tobyanca...well said!
Your reactions are delightful! You seem so happy about Finnish music that it makes me smile :) I'm gonna throw in some older music (mostly rock), because this is the stuff I was raised on.
Hanoi Rocks - Up Around the Bend (glam rock/rock) music video from 1984, so the quality ain't that high
Hurriganes - Shorai Shorai (rock) no music video but the song's from 1979. BTW, the name's "Shorai Shorai" only because of the accent, originally it was meant to be "It's alright, it's alright"
TikTak - Kyyneleet (pop) a school time classic from early 2000s
Aikakone - Odota (eurodance/pop) just nostalgia from 1995
Leevi and the Leavings - Teuvo maanteiden kuningas (rock) from late 1980s. The best thing about Leevi and the Leavings are the tragicomic lyrics which sadly do not come across unless you know Finnish, but I think the sound is interesting enough.
Very nice
Up Around the Bend is a cover of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song by the same name, so I would rather recommend Tragedy by Hanoi Rocks, which I think is a better song anyway.
@@hankdasilva3817 Huh, good to know. I'm not terribly aware of what's a cover of what but I agree, Tragedy is an excellent song as well.
Why not something original from Hanoi Rocks rather than cover song. Tragedy would be one of their best known songs.
Korpiklaani-Vodka is the shit! :DDD
Dude you are adorable❤️ thaks to watching Finnish music. Please more Finnish rock and metal!
Pleas react to HIM!
Jonna Savolainen been asking this for a while. Hope she picks it for him in the next one.
He said that he already knows HIM and he likes the band very much! But he was really surprised that HIM is from Finland.
@@katipertel9621 oh, okey. Well he could still react to them. Maybe some song he hasn't heard in a while or something. No one ever reacts to Him so thats why it would be cool.
Jonna Savolainen I know, HIM is one of my favourite bands all the times. Ville deserves all attention to him and even more. I don't know it is first reaction video or just a reaction video?
Killing loneliness
Poets of the fall is awesome especially seeing them perform live!!! And they do tour all alound the world...
Hi, awesome video, thank you for that! :)
Here is a few songs from different genres that I think could fit the third video if you happen to keep doing these:
Cheek - Timantit on ikuisia (he ended his career last weekend and is pretty much the most famous mainstream musician/rapper in Finland)
Petri Nygård - Selvä Päivä ft. Lord Est (rap/party style song)
Evelina - Kylmii Väreitä (pop)
Apulanta - Pahempi Toistaan (rock)
Santa Cruz - Young Blood Rising (hard/glam(?) rock)
Amorphis - The Bee (metal, also u should listen to at least 2.30 since there is two different type of clean vocal choruses ps. there's also a lot of growling in the song)
These are all in the newer side of Finnish music (except maybe Apulanta), but there is also many awesome classics to choose from but I tried to keep my list short. Keep doing reactions to music from different countries!
Cheek ended his career??? :(
I like Finnish music and I am from Estonia.
Yeah he did. He had a big "goodbye concert" in Lahti, Finland.
lmaooo please dont do cheek nor petri nygård
Apulanta doesn't play rock, they play punk... i'm big fan of them and now i'm triggered xd
@@elisagron3631 why not, they are really good in my opinion. Antti Tuisku and JVG are awesome too
Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon and Apulanta - Pahempi toistaan
yes! Nightwish ❤ next time wen you react Finnish music can you react Children Of Bodom :3
Listen Bodom 😍
As a huge fan of Poets of the Fall, I'm so happy that you enjoyed listening to them. They sadly don't do tours in the US, but I hope to see then live one day.
They are doing a concert in Atlanta in September I believe.
Part 3 please :)

Yes, yes, yes!!!
IT´S NOT LEVANPOLKA BUT IEVANPOLKA...EEVA ON IEVA SAVOKSI::
Poets of the Fall was playing live on our company christmas party few years back. and it was great!
Waldo's People - U Drive Me Crazy, Redrama - Clouds, Him - Right here in my arms, 69 Eyes - Lost boys
They're all finnish bands but only one of them was sung in finnish. Why? :(
I give my vote to Apulanta! A song Pahempi toistaan or Valot pimeyksien reunalla or Armo.
Also great songs are:
Maj Karma - Ukkonen
Kotiteollisuus - Helvetistä Itään
Viikate - Viina, terva & hauta
Chisu - Kohtalosta itään
Cheek - Sokka irt
Btw, did you know Apocalyptica is from Finland? ;)
mankelinen koska suomalainen musiikki on parempaa kun se ei ole suomeksi
Also Korpiklaani
DINGO JA EPPU JA KLAMYDIA NII KYL PERKELE LÄHTEE
Another vote for Apulanta!
@@santeri.pu.1663 Uhonit Popedan
Whoever picked "Amaranth" over "The Sleeping Sun" or "Bless the Child" should be fired. Or "Nemo", or "Wish I Had an Angel". Yeah, the last one would've been the best.
For your next video, try a band called Amorphis. Either "Silver Bride" or "House of Sleep".
Also a song called "Clouds" by Redrama is awesome. And definitely some Apocalyptica song, probably should try either "I'm not Jesus" feat. Corey Taylor(yes, that Corey Taylor), or "I don't care" feat Adam Gontier.
If you want something in that's in finnish, I'd recommend "Boom Kah" by Robin. :D
You could also listen to Johanna Kurkela, who is the wife of Tuomas Holopainen, the composer/keyboard player for Nightwish. (Yes, the nipple man!) "Sudenmorsian" is an amazing song.
OH! I have one more, then I'll shut up. "Up Around the Bend" by Hanoi Rocks.
Samu Haber, the singer of Sunrise Avenue is in the Jury of the Voice of Germany.
Good Stuff! Next time please react one of these:
Yö - Joutsenlaulu
Egotrippi - Matkustaja
Elastinen - Anna sen soida
Raappana - Maasta maahan
Aurora - Se soi
Pikku G - Solmussa
Disco - Levottomat tuulet
Yesss we need part 3!
I don't know where you take the genres for these songs, but categorizing Poets of the Fall to Post-Grunge is quite weird choice. I was quite surprised that you compared Marko Saaresto (the lead singer of PotF, BTW he's not bald IRL :D ) to David Draiman from Disturbed, as they are very different, but both sure do have very distinct voices. I personally I love both bands. Also while Amaranth was a decent choice for Nightwish, I think it didn't quite feel right for this purpose, as the lead singer for that song isn't Finnish. Instead I would love to see you react to their older music, which still has Tarja Turunen as the lead singer, for example songs like Nemo, Wish I had an angel, and Wishmaster. Other bands/songs that I would love to see you react to are HIM - Right here in my arms, HIM - Wings of a butterfly, HIM - Under the rose, Apocalyptica - Bittersweet, Don Huonot - Seireeni, Eppu Normaali - Baarikärpänen, Apulanta - Viisaus ei asu meissä, Stam1na - Lääke.
Also, Marko and David put a lot of effort into their lyrics.
Considering that the time limit is 2 minutes, there are basically only a handful of Nightwish songs that even get out of the intro in that time ;) OK, a "slight" overexaggeration! I think Apocalyptica, HIM and Amorphis are the big ones missing, and then something by Eppu Normaali, Sielun Veljet etc. But we are happy to have had this much, at least :)
The second video is about a famous painting.
Where two boys carrie a wounded angel.
I knew you will like Sunrise Avenue! I just knew that!! Next Apocalyptica, The Rasmus and HIM together" Bittersweet", please! Best wishes from Estonia!
Apocalyptica, Ville Valo and Lauri Ylönen
I love the fact that you actually listened to something like Poets of the Fall and not just the top hits which just make me embarrassed.... :D You should definitely do part 3! And include some Pariisin Kevät. Matkalla Etelään or something like that.
Poets Of The Fall is the best band. They're actually my favorite band of all time. They're just great.
Also, "post grunge" may not be the best genre to categorize them in.
They are basically "alternative rock", though, they can branch out and do many other sounds. Super talented band.
Thank you sooooo much Finlande for such amazing bands !! Him, Nightwish ans others.. I cannot imagine my life withoit their music. Greetings from Russia🤘❤❤❤
I love Sunrise Avenue so much! I will finally see them live for the first time this month, unfortunately it's their last tour ever but I'm glad I still got the chance to see them 🥰
You are very cute how you blush while you react (: Kiitos, Brian!
Damn I love Poets of the fall. They give me chills everytime with their epic songs. And the singer is very good actor in their amazing music videos : D
Cool that you reacted to Sunrise Avenue! They used to be one of my favorite bands ever! And I'm actually glad that you listened to one of their older songs because in my opinion they lost a little track with their new music. Check out their stuff from the early early days, that's the Sunrise Avenue Spirit! :)
Please keep making these! I rarely actually enjoy any content on youtube these days but these vids actually make me smile and make me feel warm inside, thank u thank u thank u
If you want to listen to more of Poets of the Fall, they are releasing a new album in a little over a month, including a new single in about a week! There is more to the band than what you hear from one song, they release all their albums as trilogies and both the songs and their artwork (album covers etc.) are full of little easter eggs and references. While Marko (the vocalist) is a very talented singer, the main selling point of the band is in the lyrics and how they're all connected to each other. If you want another song suggestion, I recommend Cradled in Love by them.
Cradled in Love is my all time favorite song by them
@@Tobyanca I know!
POTF: "Late goodbye", "War" 🤗
The kid in the Freestyler music video is a finnish reggae/dancehall artist called: MEGA-Ertsi
JVG (Old name Jare and Ville-Galle) is a duo. And the third guy who sings at the chorus is Teemu Brunila (or that the ppl think)
Bomfunk MC is a old band back from the 90's
You should next to listen:
Teemu Brunilas old band, The Crash - Lauren caught my eye (Teemu is also singing in Studio Killers)
HIM - Join Me In Death
Apocalyptica - I Don't Care ft. Adam Gontier
Chorus singer is definetley teemu brunila and i recomend to listen some music from the crash and studio killers.
Like your video! And I love Sunrise Avenue, especially this song. Heard it on the radio so many times when I grew up! Would be cool if you could do this with Swedish music as well!
More finnish songs:
Sunrise avenue - fairytale gone bad
Tippa - roska silmäs feat. JVG
Robin - hula hula feat. Nelli Matula
Especially I recommend to you Sunrise avenue. It's an amazing band.
Oh yessss, part 3 please! We finns love when someone explores finnish culture and the language. You should have Antti Tuisku in your next vid, maybe a song called swäg. It also has JVG in it!
Thank you for these 2 videos, I've enjoyed them so much! :) Personal comments: 1st: I love the first song "tarkenee" although I'm not a huge hip hop/rap fan as you said it's such an uplifting song and people go crazy when they play it at clubs! So many fun memories from that song!! 2nd: As people have pointed out the original singer of Nightwish was Tarja Turunen, and once she was replaced with Anette it was highly frowned upon. People (including me) thought she was too "pop" for the hard rock band.
Apulanta - Armo
Cmx, kotiteollisuus, 51 koodia - Vapaus johtaa kansaa
Kolmas nainen - Tästä asti aikaa
Kirka - Hengaillaan
For some reggae Keko Salata - ilmasta lovee
Poets of the fall is the best!😱😍😍😍😍
Definitely try the band Apulanta. :) Maybe 'Hei hei mitä kuuluu', but others have proposed other good songs too.
If you are fond of odd concepts, maybe: Soul captain band - Mitä suurempi puu
At least if the concept of Finnish reggae is odd enough for you. :D
And there would be a lot of Finnish tango - check Täysikuu by Olavi Virta or Satumaa by Reijo Taipale - although the main audience for Tango are 60+ and Kaurismäki movies nowadays.
You NEED to watch Sunrise Avenue- Birds and Bees xD
Check out part two ;D I covered them but not the same song :C
You have such a passion for music that it's just wholesome to watch! This video brought me such fluffy feels. I hope you'll do a part 3 and listen to more recent songs that we have! These are all ageless and good, but still a tad old.
Part 3 please! :)
oh my
I can still recall the days when people played so much of "Hollywood hills" Thanks for birging it on again❤️ so much nostalgia
Amorphis - the Bee 👍 🙃
Yes, this please! I was just about to suggest this but you beat me, heh!
I was on Poets of the Fall live concert last summer and they did perform Carnival of Rust and it was so beautiful hearing it live. Marko Saaresto has very unique and beautiful sound.
Some suggestions by Finnish artists:
Sentenced - "Killing Me Killing You"
Amorphis - "Divinity" or "House Of Sleep"
Dark The Suns - "Unbroken Silence"
Chisu - "Ei Riidella Enaa"
Kaksio - "Tytto Tanssii Vaan"
Jenni Vartiainen - "Ihmisten Edessa"
Scandinavian Music Group - "Minne Katosivat Paivat"
Cheek - "Keinu"
PMMP - "Lautturi"
Irina - "Kymmenen Kirosanaa
Kaija Koo - "Surulapsi
Movetron - "Ei Kenenkaan Maa"
Man I absolutely love this video series of yours! Your reactions just got me!
Sanni & Apocalyptica: Kelpaat kelle vaan, Alma: Karma or Phases, Cheek: Sokka irti
Keekkiä PERKELE!
MagicSmaug kannatetaan. Lisätkää vähä salmiakkia ni parempi :D
Poets of the Fall is amazing live!! I've seen them multiple times and Carnival of Rust never fails to make me cry, it's INCREDIBLE live... Much love from Finland!
To have a little peak into ancient mythology of Finland, I recommend a Folk Metal song; Korpiklaani - Lempo
Or alternatively Korpiklaani - Ukon Wacka. I also recommend Poets of the Fall - Beautiful Ones. As for Rap, Nikke Ankara - Perjantai 13.
This is how these music reactions should be done. You simply are the best in my opinion when it comes to the way you've done this video. I didn't even know Poets of the fall or them to be finnish. Only heard it on the radio a lot through my childhood.
69 eyes.stratovarius.sonata arctica.
As you seemed to react a lot of Finnish stuff made me to subscribe. Me as an Finnish guy who likes to stay in the states it’s kind of pleasure to see. Keep up the vids mate!

"wait, that's finnish too?" the video. Seriously I had no idea Poets of the fall and sunrise avenue are finnish.
back in the year 2000 when I was 12 I wanted hair like the kid had in the Bomfunk mc's video
I'm seeing Poets of the Fall in October!!!!
YOU LUCKY THING :C ENJOY! :D

And i know plenty of songs that i didn't even suspect to be from Finland :D congrats and love from Poland 😁💕🇫🇮🇵🇱
Check out Chisu. One of the biggest (and best) female artists in Finland.
Hi,
There has been three female singers in Nightwish - first one was Tarja Turunen who sang in the song phantom of the opera, in this video the singer is Anette Olson (Sweden), and in the picture that you see before the video is Floor Jansen (Netherlands) who is the current singer of Nightwish.
And Happoradio - Puhu äänellä jonka kuulen :)
My First Band - Don't break my corazon
Jenni Vartiainen - Missä muruseni on
Antti Tuisku - Hanuri
Robin - Onnellinen
Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon
”He has a Swedish accent”.
A BIG MEGA YES! Please do part 3! I would love to see your reaction on children of bodom, Sonata arctica, the new Nightwish with the new singer, catamenia, turisas, charon. Just to name some good artist! Please review!
Should you do a third video, use wintersun or chidren of bodom as the metal song
Damn ... this really takes me back. Even though I'm Finnish, I can't believe that I've forgotten all these great bands like the Poets of the Fall for instance.
Thanks for this reminder !
Finland🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮❤❤ Suomi mainittu nyt like tälle kommentille jos oot suomesta❤❤❤
You should definitely do a third one!!! Could you react to HIM? I've never heard a song I didn't love by them, they have a completely different sound from any other band I've heard and they created their own genre of music. Linde's guitar just stops your heart and Ville's voice can just melt your soul. It's crazy man, it all melds together so well. Every single member of HIM created this unique sound that builds off of each other perfect in every song. Safe to say that HIM is one of my favorite bands xD
TIL Nightwish is a Finnish band lol...
But the band has also had different singers over the years... Maybe listen to Nemo at some point :3
I really love to watch these videos as Finnish myself. If you honestly like our music so far please keep these coming!
Nightwish was magic when Tarja Turunen fronted the band, now it's just an other good band!
I agree with you 100%!
the song he is watching is with their previous singer, now they have new one...and Floor, the current singer, may be much better than Tarja in fact...
@@Busha69 I do like Floor and I do think she might "save" Nightwish, but for me the magic is gone for me because I really liked Tarjas classically trained voice in conjunction with the heavy and/or "spiritual" sound of old Nightwish. I would not say that Floor is better, but she is different and has a different take on the music, I do wish she would use more of her classical voice than she does now.
Speak for yourself.
Kinda surprised by your statement, The transition with Annette was rough indeed, not because she wasn't talented but imo her voice didn't fit the nightwish we know.
But damn, have you checked the lives with Floor ? Ghost love score in wacken for example, to me not only is she incredibly talented, she also respects the timings way better than tarja imo :o
Yeah, your reaction to Poets of the Fall is *extremely* familiar - the same thing happened to me in back 2013. :-) I actually found them via the video game Alan Wake. In the game, there are these little radios scattered around the levels, and in one area in an abandoned warehouse, I flipped on one of the radios and I was so mesmerized by what I heard I actually had trouble concentrating on fighting the bad guys. Once I'd cleared the area and killed all the enemies, I went back to the radio, played the song again, and just sat there and listened with my eyes closed and my jaw on the floor (that song was called "War," in case you want to look it up). That moment, finding Poets, genuinely changed my life.
Carnival of Rust, by the way, is my absolute favorite song on the planet, so that was a great song to start with. :-) The band actually did a live studio version of it a couple of years ago for the Genelec music channel, and I almost like that version better than the original album version. Here's a link if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/dGwA01vntnc/видео.html
Oh, and I also wanted to add that I'm not sure what the "post grunge" thing is about (I've never heard that label applied to Poets before), but Poets of the Fall tend to classify their music as "Cinematic Rock."
You should check out Lovex - Guardian Angel and Uniklubi - Rakkautta ja Piikkilankaa (basically the songs of my teen years lol)
Oi, Lovex
Thank you for loving finnish music, i have pleasure seeing poets of the fall live two times allready, and for sure seeing them again. And their new album is mind blowing :)
