there overlooked skill isn't exactly unexpected considering that the vocal leader has stated he doesn't want a throng of fans beating down his down and other members for songs because they even admitted they don't want the quality to drop
Johannes is super smart, speaks (at least) three languages, and has wit and stage presence that are off the charts. One of 1000 things that make me love Avatar.
In Sweden you atomaticly pay tax to the Church.You have to fill out a form to renaunc paying tax to the Church.Then you get a letter saying you have no rights to use a church
his vocal performance was amazing ..he has amazing control over the range of his voice from gravelly growl to the highs and the band..always awesome..very talented these guys
I don't understand why the interviewer feels the need to yell into the mic when she's speaking to them. Her voice tone grates me. Avatar is awesome, as always!
I'm a newer Avatar fan...wish I had known of them sooner. They're amazing live. Saw them twice in 2017 and they killed it. Johannes has an amazing voice...he's so full of sass, haha. Love it.
Speaks volumes about them that they can sound this good acoustic. Wish I could’ve been one of the handful of people that got to see this live. They’re such amazing musicians, I’m glad they’re gaining popularity and can’t wait to see them get bigger.
why am i now jus hearing about avitar? they been around for 15 years!!! wikipedia said most of their new stuff came out in 2014!...this band is gold...almost feel like i lost 2 years of my life
They sort of reinvented themselves with 2014's Black Waltz album. That was the start of The Clown and the whole carnival theme. Prior to that they were a great band but they didn't really stick out among all the other metal bands. With the changes in 2014 they really started getting out there more.
this entire album is PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I can't stop listening to is. Great nod to classic metal & the guitars, drums & other instruments are awesom. Johannes never ceases to amaze w his voice as well!!! FUCKIN LOVE IT!!!
Camera work during the performances annoyed the fuck out of me (do we really want to see the back of their heads?!) but great renditions. Black Water in particular sounded fantastic.
Yeah, I always thought he looks very nervous without his stage make-up. Like if he's feeling naked without it. It somethig like a second skin he's hiding behind. :)
Johannes is a very shy person. In an album signing, without the makeup he wasn't really talking and he was kinda nervous. Like, not to social. Then later that same day at the concert, with makeup he was in on it, he was just a burst of energy. I think the makeup is like his safe place, the place to hide his insecurities. I love him tho.
Si no has escuchado su album avatar country, te lo puedo recomendar. Es muy bueno y tambien tiene una version de pelicula breve. El album y la pelicula valen la pena.
Jasmine Murdock I don't know about you, but his accent still seems pretty prevalent to me. That's part of what I like about the band though. Part of the sound distinction is that gritty, accented voice.
iirc, it's usually because of the target audience and/or the origins of the genre. Singers who want to make it big in America will generally sing with a US accent to sound less foreign. And, for example, rock music has its roots in African American singers so the singing style in rock and genres that came off of it (like metal) generally is based off of an American accent.
Avatar is severely underrated.
Agreed
Wtf? Avatar needs way more popularity. they're fucking amazing. His voice is so crisp... Amazing voice.
TRUE
fucking true
it makes me moist
It's strange that more haven't heard them. I'm Swedish and actually never knew they existed until they opened for Avenged Sevenfold here in Sweden!
there overlooked skill isn't exactly unexpected considering that the vocal leader has stated he doesn't want a throng of fans beating down his down and other members for songs because they even admitted they don't want the quality to drop
Roses are red,violets are blue
I love Johanne's voice and so do you.
Roses are red, violets are blue
You said the true.
Roser are red, violets are blue
What you are saying, is true
I hate it.Is she deaf?why is she screaming?.
THIS IS NOT A PHASE MOM
IT NEVER IS. NEVER HAS BEEN. NEVER WILL BE.
IT'S THE REAL ME

The lead singer is the most sarcastic and sassy metal singer i've ever seen.
I still think that Maynard is an alien acting like a human
Must be a Swede thing... Papa Emeritus III of Ghost is sassy.
Johannes is super smart, speaks (at least) three languages, and has wit and stage presence that are off the charts. One of 1000 things that make me love Avatar.
GWAR is better for interviews
This man's one of my idols
"Diamonds are created under pressure"...
Awesome mentality.
I think it's scarier watching him sing wearing that than what he normal wears. But this is awesome as!
Its really the sideburns right ?
+Георги Танев same
Try this ruclips.net/video/KTb-Upe_Iio/видео.html. I'm sure you'll find that "heeheehee" laugh scary af 😂
"Well we're all atheists so..."
So many great gems in this video xD
frustrated lad well diamonds are made under pressure ;)
In Sweden you atomaticly pay tax to the Church.You have to fill out a form to renaunc paying tax to the Church.Then you get a letter saying you have no rights to use a church
@@urbankotto9685 And I thought Sweden was a developed country...
Do you know what they call Hawaiian shirts in Hawaii?
Shirts.
And Bermuda shorts in Bermuda?
Just shorts, my dude.
@@xenogorwraithblade2538 no, they call them missing
They call these aloha shirts in Hawaii.
Still crushing it so many years later...
Black waters - 6:05
The eagle has landed - 13:40
when he started dancing after the chorus; god I truly do love this band
Getting to see Avatar in hawaiian shirt's is some-thing you'll never forget.
All his voices, such an amazing vocalist. Truly a fantastic band
The Eagle has landed gives me the chills when he goes low then high.
Do you on Friday the 13th have a superstition day? "were all atheists"
Great answer
his vocal performance was amazing ..he has amazing control over the range of his voice from gravelly growl to the highs and the band..always awesome..very talented these guys
One more comment, he has one of the best unaltered, acoustic voices I've ever heard.
15:05 what a legend.
diamonds are created under pressure
I'm under pressure
D D D DDD A
D D D DDD A
Heat, time, pressure.
Three essential things in making well.. many things.
My go-to being waffles.
I don't understand why the interviewer feels the need to yell into the mic when she's speaking to them. Her voice tone grates me. Avatar is awesome, as always!
Johannes' voice is incredible, and they're just hilarious. I fucking love them
The range on this guy... amazing singing !! And irreprochable instruments behind him of course.
Kungen looking at Johaness when he flubbed the lyrics was the cutest tho
I only discovered Avatar recently, but I love this so much :D
Holy shit, his voice is from the gods
I'm a newer Avatar fan...wish I had known of them sooner. They're amazing live. Saw them twice in 2017 and they killed it. Johannes has an amazing voice...he's so full of sass, haha. Love it.

OMGGGGG i LOVE them sooo much 😭 these guys are my salvation on my very worst days
love when they do acoustic stuff Johannes is a fucking god with a mic
His voice is everything
even in acoustic they sound amazing
Holy Jesus! Johannes is a very gorgeous man with that deep and beautiful voice
Helena Black he's sexy as fuck
Yeah, he's so fucking hot ♥
why am i now jus hearing about avitar? they been around for 15 years!!! wikipedia said most of their new stuff came out in 2014!...this band is gold...almost feel like i lost 2 years of my life

Black Waltz was released in 2012, Hail the Apocalypse in 2014, ...but yes.
Yeeep. You're right. Got my years mixed up, sorry xD
Same here. Just heard them in my friends car on the way to see Carnifex and Dying Fetus. Now I’m hooked.
Man, I discovered them in 2020! Why only shitty bands get promoted these days?!
His voice is so 😍
this entire album is PHENOMENAL!!!!!! I can't stop listening to is. Great nod to classic metal & the guitars, drums & other instruments are awesom. Johannes never ceases to amaze w his voice as well!!! FUCKIN LOVE IT!!!
God I would kill to hear what they'd come up with for an acoustic version of Raven Wine...
Loved it when Johannes said
"Diamonds are created under pressure"
🖤
OMG can't get enough Avatar! Love this!
First time hearing black water and I think it could be my new favourite song by avatar
Camera work during the performances annoyed the fuck out of me (do we really want to see the back of their heads?!) but great renditions. Black Water in particular sounded fantastic.
His voice is friggin crazy powerful
Bet they love American Wal-Mart :D Wouldn't it be some shit to meet these guys there?
yeah
Samantha Squarl I met them at knotfest, yes it was great. Really cool dudes!
I'd give a limb, Fuck even 2, to meet them!!!
HOLY SHIT THIS IS ... WOW! Very Good!
Couidn't agree more \m/
I love you Johannes. You are literally the best.
HOW ARE THEY NOT HUGE
Enchanted Christina is
this video makes me love Avatar even more. fucking amazing
Black is cool
who are those lucky people sitting on couches?
Jh: Listening all our songs are black "something" hahaha.
Just now discovered this band, Mind blown!
Amazing songwriters. This is very cool. Johannes doesn't look very comfortable on stage without makeup :-)
Yeah, I always thought he looks very nervous without his stage make-up. Like if he's feeling naked without it. It somethig like a second skin he's hiding behind. :)
He looked like he wanted to move around the stage more. Think that's why it came across as him being uncomfortable.
With all the marching and cane waving he does at live shows, I'm sure he felt almost claustrophobic xD
Right :-)
Johannes is a very shy person. In an album signing, without the makeup he wasn't really talking and he was kinda nervous. Like, not to social. Then later that same day at the concert, with makeup he was in on it, he was just a burst of energy. I think the makeup is like his safe place, the place to hide his insecurities. I love him tho.
Apenas ayer conocí a esta banda maravillosa en su presentación en el Domination en la ciudad de México y quedé enamorada!!!! Son geniales
Si no has escuchado su album avatar country, te lo puedo recomendar. Es muy bueno y tambien tiene una version de pelicula breve. El album y la pelicula valen la pena.
3:53 gotta keep the mustache looking good
This goes on for like 20 seconds
Aloha from Hawaii! You guys look great! You got to come here to hang on the beach! looking forward to seeing you all in Vegas next month...
i love these guys.
I loveeeee his voice!!! His voice is made for metal! 🤘🏼
I want an acoustic album now! :3
this video is everything i needed in my life. thanks
6:05 black waters
13:40 the eagle has landed
- I know that the times are in the description, just wanted links for myself :)
i fucking died when the screams came for the eagle has landed
Most amazing band ever !!!
LOL his fuck up in the Eagle Has Landed
A reminder he isn't God, yet
egagnard I didn't say it as something bad... you don't have to defend him. I just said it was funny
oh i wasn't trying to defend him or anything, i was just saying that the fuck up is the reminder he isn't completely perfect lol
It's still pretty funny, which I think is his point.
Anyone else ever read Johannes' tweets?
Nate Tirade Me XD, This man is ADDICT
Top Talent of 2016 metal. Keep it up Guys the most respect from the USA!!
Black Waters sounds dope unplugged!
Johannes reminds me of Turisas singer, when they did that acoustic version of The March of the Varangian Guard. Naise
This is great, I love avatar. The sound levels could have definitely been balanced better but in terms of their music, it’s awesome.
Amazing.
I wish he would play like that in my pub
That sounds awesome!!
he looks so much different without the bad ass makeup
My heart is melting
Wow. Good shit.
god Damn asking alexandria and avatar doing acoustic shows are awesome!
Ah så bra! älskar att de gillar att goofa till det ^^
Very A/X sounding with the acoustics.
That rug really ties the room together
Black Waters or Black Waltz I'd love either (or both)
1:26 dude sporting a Machine Shop shirt! Flint,MI hell yeah!
damn they didn't do The Eagle has Landed's ending, i was hoping for that all video long lmao
+Willythakid Maybe if she didnt wack on for over 5 minutes before they started...
Johannes made a mistake between 15:13 to 15:17 he should've sing a verse no chorus again
pretty obvious
Who cares it's his song
Allison Flett hi
“This is not a phase mom” 🤣🤣👏🏻💙
Edit: fucking corrector
Every time I see the thumbnail I think it’s young Lemmy Kilmister
There all patiently waiting for her to shut up so they can start playing. Such nice guys.
why do peoples accents disappear when they sing? i dont get how that happens
Jasmine Murdock ya I have always wondered that
Jasmine Murdock I don't know about you, but his accent still seems pretty prevalent to me. That's part of what I like about the band though. Part of the sound distinction is that gritty, accented voice.
Ive always based it around their stomach voices and their throat voices
iirc, it's usually because of the target audience and/or the origins of the genre. Singers who want to make it big in America will generally sing with a US accent to sound less foreign. And, for example, rock music has its roots in African American singers so the singing style in rock and genres that came off of it (like metal) generally is based off of an American accent.
Because you can choose to sing with or without an accent. It's a choice not a mysterious bodily thing xD
9:30 though
Johannes looks like Peter Fonda with those sunglasses on.. J, is such a sweetheart. I love his sassyness.
Ole Johannes rocking the Super Troopers shades
5:50 to hear the song.
Awesome live studio by Avatar, with acoustic, with creepy make up :D
beautiful music
In my opinion he reminds me of Freddy ...very much into showman ship and a wide vocal range ....loving them
they do look good in hawaiian style shirts.
wow that's super interesting!
The fuckin laugh in "eagle has landed" lmao AHAuhuhuu
Eu gostei da banda
His clean vocals sounds a lot like M Shadows 😱
Exept for the femalelooking interveving person.This was really good.
holy fuck, is there a way to like this harder than a thumbs up?
