      Not OP, but as you liked HIM and The Rasmus, you should probably check Bittersweet by Apocalyptica, because the singers in it are Ville Valo (vocalist of HIM) and Lauri Ylönen (vocalist of The Rasmus). Of course, they have other countless great songs as well! :D

    Funny you mentioned Axl Rose, since Guns'n'Roses' music was heavily influenced by Michael Monroe's Hanoi Rocks.
    In fact, they were a huge influence for the whole 80's Glam Metal genre. There should be articles about it online (found one on LA Weekly's pages, for example)
    Edit: Oh, and the band started in 1980 and (unfortunately) disbanded after 1984 due to a death of a band member

      You can thank Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil for it. He was drunk driving and speeding and caused an accident. Killed Razzle and caused serious permanent damage to two more people. And he hasn't learned shit from it because he still gets caught drunk driving. But then he also only spent 15 days in jail for destroying the life of 3 people. Sorry, for the rant but each time I think about Hanoi Rock I get angry about how successful Mötley Crüe was afterwards and how Hanoi Rock got forgotten.

They have many songs that you should hear like: "I Don't Care" "Not Strong Enough" "Broken Pieces" *But* if you want them to have Finnish vocalists you should listen to "Bittersweet" etc. but I highly prefer and recommend the other ones.

      Indeed this song is too long to fully appreciate it in only 2 minutes, the whole feel changes every few minutes, it is not your average intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-outro.
      Another nice fact about the frontman Jari: he used to be the frontman of finnish metalband Ensiferum, and under his reign the band composed their 2 best albums (imo). He left to fully spend his time on Wintersun. He is known to be a perfectionist, and sometimes uses about 200 layers at once during production to create the epic feel of Wintersun.

      Well, I used to live in Lahti as well. Metal music was actually still somewhat prominent in Lahti area around the time I was 20-y-o or so (10 years ago) but after that it somehow became the rap capital of Finland. But the change didn't make Lahti into the shithole it is today; even back then we used to say "Lahti is pretty good place if you discount the people in it".

    Hanoi Rocks song Tragedy was published 1981. The band was created 1979, GNR 1985. Hanoi Rocks broke down in the same year that GRN was formed.
    Many GNR members have named the Hanoi Rocks as the biggest influencer, Slash also in his autobiography. The story tells that Izzy Stradlin hitchhiked across the USA to see Hanoi Rocks when they were touring in the USA. Michael Monroe's face can be found Use Your Illusion, he plays the saxophone in "Bad Obsession". On The Spaghetti Incident -record Michael sitten sings with Axel on "Ain´t it Fun", the frase Welcome to the Junge can be found on Honey Rocks song Underwater World etc. Maybe it is just me but can hear a litte bit of the Hanoi Rocks Lost in the CIty in GNR´s Paradice city.

    Korpiklaani are actually one of the best bands to see live. Atmosphere on their concerts is so good! When it comes to folk metal, instruments like the violin and accordion are very usual. FC Lahti is Finnish football club.

      @Brian Velez - 7 months later, still interested if you yourself play in any band even with friends? In the reacts you seem to like guitar rifs, makes me wonder how you would like Warmen (Children of Bodom + a lot visiting members, rifs being prio)
      Also another totally different thing.. React to 2019 Finnish music festivals.. ie prolly the best or/and second best festival whole world johnsmith.fi/ rockfest.fi/artistit/ and some others in Finland summer www.steelfest.fi/ -- www.tuska.fi/
      Edit: nice this too 100k+ views NICE!. 10 day VLOG during the festivals would net much more views as live react :-) Bet ppl all over the world are interested how it's actually like. ;)

    Finally some HIM, you should definetly listen more of them. They are the first and only Finnish band that has sold gold record in USA.
    I could give couple protips, tho you probably have researched some HIM already but im still gonna do it.
    So the first album Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666. Thats really heavy metal album, with some really cool vocals, both low and high vocals.
    The album that really exploded their career, Razorblade Romance, has some amazing hit songs, like Join Me In Death. Its more rocking album and less metal, and its really cool too.
    Deep Shadows And Brilliant Highlights is kinda delicate album, it has some slow songs and couple really rocking tunes like Pretending.
    Fourth album, called Love Metal is one of my favorites, its really rocking tho it has some long like 5-7 minutes long songs that are kinda quiet and peaceful, but include some heavy guitars. Songs like Fortress Of Tears, Loves Requiem and The Path are amazing.
    Dark Light, the one that sold gold in US, is amazing too, tho its my least favorite. But its great, all i can say.
    Their sixth album, Venus Doom is my absolute favorite. As Ville, the vocalist said "Its the heaviest pop album in the world". It has really amazing guitar riffs and its darker and heavier than all the other albums.
    Screamworks is straight rock, its great too, has kinda poppy sounds and melodies within and its just good.
    And their last album, Tears On Tape, thats kinda like Love Metal.

    Recommend The 69 Eyes. I don't even know what song to recommend. They were first a grunge/glam band but went into gothic music later - they call themselves The Helsinki Vampires.
    I grew up on Finnish metal and Estonian pop - which is pretty damn weird for an American LOL.

  • @nope-jj1rw

    If these songs were recommended to you, then you got recommended all the shittiest songs, tbh... Finnish metal has so much more to give!
    As someone from Finland who used to listen to metal for a long time, I feel someone has sold you the wrong picture of Finnish metal.
    Here's a short list of songs:
    Stam1na - Kadonneet Kolme Sanaa (Nu-metal)
    Finntroll - Trollhammaren (Niche, but very catchy)
    Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7 ("Mainstream" for a metalhead)
    Children of Bodom - Follow The Reaper (Same as above)
    Turmion Kätilöt - Paha Ihminen (Very unique, very interesting industrial metal)
    Twilight Guardians - La Isla Bonita (Madonna just got tolerable! ;))
    Sonata Arctica - Wolf & Raven (Melodic power metal, very listener friendly)
    Sonata Arctica - Victoria's Secret (Same as above)
    Amorphis - The Bee (Chorus starts @2:07, so don't miss it)
    Nightwish - Wishmaster (Symphonic power metal)
    Tuoni - Kuolonpyörä (Some kind of melodic metalcore with death metal influences)
    MyGrain - Darkbound (Melodic, catchy death metal)
    Mors Principium Est - Monster In Me (Melodic death metal, intense)
    Noumena - Misanthropolis (Some kind of melodic metal)
    Turisas - To Holmgard and Beyond (Viking metal)
    Ensiferum - Iron (Power/Viking metal)
    Ensiferum - Token of Time (Same as above)
    Apocalyptica - Not Strong Enough (ft. Doug Robb of Hoobastank) (More pop-rock than metal, no guitars, only cellos)
    And there's so much more, I just can't remember them it all anymore.
    I sincerely hope you will make another video and enjoy it.
    All the best!

      The fact that you categorize Wintersun's Sons of the Winter and Stars as one of the shittiest and then in turn recommend a whole bunch of meh instead, says more about you than the original recommendations. Points to you for that MyGrain suggestion, don't see that too often. But other than that there's even a greater amount of mediocrity in that list of yours. Can't believe Wishmaster is the best you can come up from a generational talent like Nightwish. Not even going to bother diving into bands like Sonata Arctica, Stam1na or Amorphis. *sigh*
      I truly hope Brian finished the Wintersun song after this video. Only 2 minutes listening to an epic masterpiece is downright blasphemous.

    Hey, even I got to hear some new things! I haven't been keeping up with new good music lately. (New as in released within the past 10 years.)
    Next up: you absolutely have to do Amorphis. There is no excuse not to, and I don't even care which song. The Bee, Death of a King, Sky Is Mine, Silver Bride, Silent Waters, Amongst Stars, just to mention a few.
    Then there's Stam1na. I highly recomment Kuudet Raamit (which has a 360° music video) or Kadonneet Kolme Sanaa (which has a 360p music video).
    Maybe do a newer song of Children Of Bodom as well, In Your Face or Needled 24/7 give you good insight on the band's later direction in their 20 year history. Those songs kick ass but my heart always goes to their older stuff. If you really wanna have fun, find a live version of Lake Bodom the solo play is pretty great. You won't get there in two minutes though.
    And finally do No One There by Sentenced and cry your manly eyes out.

    Velcra - My Law (female fronted metal with spoken word)
    Amorphis - The Bee (melodic death metal)
    Assemble the Chariots - Engulfed by Sun (symphonic black metal)
    Ensiferum - Way of the warrior (power folk metal, the last 2 minutes of the video perfectly encapsulate Finnish metal soul and our culture as a whole)

      Listaukset harvoin menevät mun musiikkimaun kanssa yhteen. Kaikkien aikojen parhaat kitaristit listoillakin Kurt Cobain killuu yleensä kärkipaikoilla, vaikka on keskinkertainen kitaristi, mutta mielestäni kyllä hyvä biisien tekijä. Myöskään noista 10 000:sta äänestäjästä suurella osalla tuskin on kovin kattavaa kuvaa bändeistä ja riffeistä mitä Suomesta löytyy ja äänestäjien mielipide painottuu listahitteihin. Jollain toisella listalla, jossa ei ole pelkästään rockbändit mukana kärkipaikan veisi varmaan joku jenkkien pop-naislaulaja tai Justin Bieber.
      Apulannalla on mielestäni ihan ok biisejä, mutta ei Virtanen kyllä mikään erityinen riffikone mielestäni ole.

    From one of the greatest bands that come from Finland, I think HIM's Join me or Right here in my arms, are the best known songs from them, world wide. I recommend you to check those out, they're also both one of their oldest songs that came, so there's a great chance for everyone to hear what they sounded like in the beginning. (When love and death embrace, Funeral of Hearts, Sweet Pandemonium etc. are from the "heavier department" if one can say so, imo.) For me the Dark light as an album is quite light (tho I like it ofc), but Greatest Love Song vol. 666, Razorblade Romance or Love Metal... Those are just unbeatable, if we're talking about their greatest albums. Also one should know, that there ain't HIM no more since I was on their last concert known so far last year, sadly... Their music will live on tho!
