I am an older lady who has a son who is older than Tommy, so ages vise Tommy could easily be my son. I've never been interested in anything other than kind and benign ABBA and classical music. I loathed metal music like the plague. Then by chance I heard Tommy sing O Helga Natt in his own mother tongue. I was as if chained to the PC. There was something about this man that was so kind, so soft, so good. Now I'm a complete fan of Tommy Johansson. AND his metal music. I devour EVERYTHING he makes. And all that Sabaton and Majestica makes. Can't get enough. That's how it can be when Tommy Johansson steps into one's life 😊.
Made a similar journey. For me it was Simon& Garfunkle.Could also be a Tommy mom.Never listened to Metal in my whole life before. Now I've bought tickets to my first Sabaton concert and am introducing Tommy to my> 30ish children. And my former co-workers. Still come in for work time to time. Some have known me for 20 years and can't believe it, I turned metal.I am introducing Tommy to the younger generation at work. Most of them had never heard of Sabaton and this is Sweden.
Lena, you're telling _my_ story here. ("I loathed"...) I've come to be a huge fan of Tommy for almost two week now. I´m blown away by his abilities! *Wow!* Can't get enough!
Me too! My only regret is that I've gone 20 years without knowing about Majestica and Sabaton. It's wonderful, though, catching up! I truly pity people who don't know about them, or who are too prejudiced against metal to listen to them. Yes, my friends and co-workers are a little appalled at me, but that's their loss. They have no idea what they are missing.
I love your reaction, James. Tommy´s voice is amazingly beautiful and powerful. And I love to watch him playing the guitar. He is so passionate about music and transmit it in every song
What a great response and you're absolutely right. When you listen to Tommy for the first time, you get addicted to it. He never disappoints you, never 💙 Tommy who is guitarist at SABATON is a musical centipede, his voice ✅ guitar 🎸 ✅ keyboard 🎹 ✅ always makes it complete. Every Friday there will be a new Cover.... 🔥 And this Month of December every day a Christmas Song 🔔🎉🎅🎁🎄 How cool is that ✅👌💛 ThanX and Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Tommy is doing 24days of Christmas songs rt now...one a day. And so many more amazing performances. Since Tommy's day job is guitarist for Swedish metal band Sabaton...He takes Sabaton songs, and arranges the lyrics to the music and melodies of big Disney songs. Called DisneyTon, on his channel. They are brilliant in all ways!
Nice reaction, man! Yeah, Tommy most definitely has a voice of a god! This song was my introduction to Steelheart back in 1990, when it originally came out and yes, Tommy did an incredible job covering it. Next reaction should be to his other Steelheart cover, "I'll never let you go". He f@#$ing nailed that one too! You may also consider reacting to "You raise me up" cover (original by Josh Groban, I think) and of course his cover on "Eagle fly free" by Helloween. Dude, his rendition of this power metal anthem is just out of this world! He is a big fan of Helloween, so it makes perfect sense. One of my favourites by him for damn sure! You should really really check it out! Trust me! You will not be disappointed! Anyways, cheers, man, and have an awesome day!.. 😉🤟🤘
There is the saying of Tommy fans, he doesn't do covers, he only does up-grades. You just pick anything, it's bound to be good. And the guy has a lot of humour as well. Just take a look at his Christmas Calendar. Or the Christmas album he did with his other band Majestica A Christmas Carol, based on Dickens, but composed and arranged by him. He worked out of traditional carols and made something completely new. Tommy sings and acts Ebenezer Scrooge.
I love your response, especially noting the warmth in Tommy's voice, and the darkness. Everything he sings, he sounds like he's living that song, like he means every word. (He can even break character, break the 4th wall, smile at the audience, and then pick up where he left off.) Maybe I'm wrong about interpretation, but it could be interpreted in two ways: One, the persona in the song is really sorry that he was so untrue and he'll be a better boyfriend. Two, that the persona is still a jerk, the lyrics aren't asking for forgiveness, but using the imperative, telling her to forgive him. In this case, it's good she's gone! But either interpretation pales during his soulful singing and guitar playing. Simply incredible!
Steelheart are an old fav of mine, and i know this song well. Tommy ’s cover are amazing. Another Tommy suggestion for you, his Thin Lizzy’s Emerald cover where he’s guitar duelling with himself. Also his Queen and Gary Moore covers are damn good too
Tommy is just a fabulous musician. There is nothing he cannot cover....or as Carina said....upgrades. He is able to transport emotions so amazingly, I have no words. And his instrumental abilities....as I said no words. Please do more Tommy or Majestica... we will be watching 😃
@@jameswolfblood that would be wonderful. This guy is just insanely talented, doing all the instrumentation by himself. Just look at his channel. There is nothing not worth checking out. One of my favourites: empty rooms by Gary Moore
Every cover is a new surprise, because he puts all the songs to a new and in my opinion higher level. And he can do anything. First cover I've heard was "Alone" from Heart and it blew me away. I swear, you will never bei disappointed. "Phantom of the opera" is a absolute masterpiece, and the Queen covers will make you cry.
Tommy is extremely talented! He is really a treasure! He is so amazing… well…he is so much more than that… He is simply… ”unique”…! Thanks for your great reactions! Wish you a magical day! ☀️🙏🏻🤗❤️
I don't know if you heard him sing abbas the winner takes it all and one of us. Queen, and so many more. He is really outstanding who does everything himself.
hard cover 2 do Miljenkos is in a league of his own, Tommy did awesome he's a little deeper in the beginning than miljenkos voice but the high notes are on point but they're not quite as powerful and clean as miljenko but its a great cover
Томми заразил меня этой песней. Теперь я пою её дома под караоке. Не знаю хорошо или плохо, но моя кошка в это время моментально прячется под кровать. 😂
Tommy is the male Floor Jansen. He sings wherever he wants in any genre. And he nails it every time
Totally agree Carina, would just love for those two to colaborate on some classic music !!
Eller tvärtom!
Agree 👍

The dude is an incredible vocalist! And the instruments, my god, the instruments! I have no words!
Tommy is a Rock Legend, so please I pray the WORLD finds him.
Every cover he done, sounds better then the original......amazing!!! =0)
So far, I'm in agreement! He just handles them really well, and it just works.
How can anyone have so much talent? 💓💓💓

YES Carina!! Up grades indeed!
I REALLY need to listen that album then. Sounds right up my alley!
@@jameswolfblood Real Christmas music...but metal! The arrangements weave in classic melodies.

Love...Love...Love it🙏🎸🤘🔥
Impresionante este Tommy una locura, lo mejor
Great reaction, I really enjoyed it, had to subscribe 👍
Thank you kindly! Glad to have ya here :D
I love Steelheart's version, but I'm really thinking I love this one even more. Tommy is incredible.
Good good..
I would love to hear him sing Bat out of Hell, he would definitely look the part. Meatloaf Jr.
That would be sick, I hope he does it at one point!
Try his white Christmas 😊
Edit: and definitely try his you raise me up, or quite frankly anything his done, its all awesome 🤘
Please react to Tommy’s Steelheart cover of “I will never let you go!” I think it’s even better!!!!
I don't know if you heard him sing abbas the winner takes it all and one of us. Queen, and so many more. He is really outstanding who does everything himself.
Check out Thunderstruck! I did not think it could get better then this
Reaction for it on the way! :D
Heja dig Tommy...glad nationaldag på dig snygging
have you done his one octive challenge yet
hard cover 2 do Miljenkos is in a league of his own, Tommy did awesome he's a little deeper in the beginning than miljenkos voice but the high notes are on point but they're not quite as powerful and clean as miljenko but its a great cover
Томми заразил меня этой песней. Теперь я пою её дома под караоке. Не знаю хорошо или плохо, но моя кошка в это время моментально прячется под кровать. 😂
Y.Malmsteen Leonardo
Insane voice!! Better vocalist than Mr.Broden of Sabaton!! Listen to MAJESTICA and REINXEED too.....
He really does remind me of Meatloaf. Meat had a huge range,as does Tommy.
Throw some chewing gum in while he's singing, then perfection. Lol jk. Still perfection!😢
Please ck. Tommy singing AC/DC’s Thunderstruck👩🏻🦰❤️
You do know that he can hit a soprano high C right? Phantom...
I prefer Steelhearts version
