My friends: 34, 39, 52 and 68 all love this channel and we get hyped at every upload & try to beat each other at sending the link (coz YT doesn't send notifications for every channel all the time). Also we're on 3 different continents.
I’m 72 years old and all I listen to is Tommy. Absolutely love his music, such a talented young man. Must be the envy of a lot of singers in our world. Thankyou. From New Zealand. 🇳🇿
This song and Perry's voice has always been one of my favorites, well the song is still the same but the favorite singer has changed 💥 I ❤ your voice! Besides your cutest smile and humor, the twinkle in your eyes, saves even a bad(hair) day 🤩 Sing Tommy sing .. ja Kiitos 🎼❤🎼
Agreed! For the last 30+ years I I have always believed that Steve was the voice of Journey and nobody could ever replace him but now think Tommy really could! Tommy…you did this song proud!
I know I’m not the only person to request that all of his covers be put on Spotify. All the covers I’ve heard, Tommy has stayed true to the original. The only difference is that, Tommy blows the original out the water. I’ll say it again and again. His voice is absolutely magical.
You don't make covers. You upgrade. What I love the most is the pure comfort of knowing that everything you wave your wand at turns out magical. And always with the best possible respect you can show the original - using your talent to make something already great greater.
@@dereklaing2929 I'd say this one's at least in par with the original, being maybe the most original-like of his interpretations. Of course it's a matter of taste, but I like Tommy's voice better. Also, the overall sound picture.
Hey Tommy! I'am 45 yesrs old and i've been into music almost my whole life! i play guitar, keyboards and sing, i teach my children and young people, i only found you a few days ago even thougt i knew you played in Sabaton. I didn't know you were such a magically talented singer and multi-instrumentalist! my daughter and i have been listening to your song ftom morning till night! I will be your fan from now on!
@@helenhellfiredixon Yes! I've already had time to research all his bands, I from finland, So we're in his neighboring coyntry, I also read his interviews in finnish metal magazines, he is also great at adapting. his singing style to fit the spirit of the times, his technique is amazing and he can sing really powerfully if the song calls for it, he probably produces sounds over 4 oktaves. I'm super glad I found her
My god, you absolutely nailed it. Finally, someone who realises that if you're covering Journey, you commit to it and hit the damn notes properly! 900% better than the godawful cover I've been hearing on the radio lately. I think this is even better than the original...
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Well, I was fairly certain Tommy would do an excellent job with the cover; but I was NOT prepared for what an AMAZING treatment he gave the original song. His signature voice simply SHINES in this version and he does great respect to Steve Perry here. I even love the subtle and the not-so-subtle changes he made here and there. The guitar solo was a very unexpected and surprisingly welcome addition. Chalk up yet ANOTHER marvelous classic cover for Maestro Johannson.
All us 80s kids are totally doing a concert of this. I literally own albums of nearly all these bands. Very classy cover of journey. Don't tell him but you sing better than perry
I've seen Sabaton a few times in concert and I've always loved Tommy's enthusiasm and happiness when playing, but I honestly had no idea he was THIS talented, with the ability to sing and play guitar and piano. A true amazing talent.
yes, I knew it. It was amazing. And i noticed the time stamp. If we can get a Delorean that can produce 1.21 gigawatts of electricit at 88mph, we can get there 😁. Take care, Tommy and God Bless
I’m having an amazing Friday evening, jamming to my favorite independent artist, TOMMY! I hope you tour here in America, but if not, I’ll fly to Europe just to be a small part of your awesome journey 🕊️❤️🕊️
You can't see it but im giving you that that "stank face" we metalheads use when we know something fucking hits! Best compliment to see from an audience.
Tommy I'm sure youll see this, somehow. All I can tell you is, being a fan of yours from the very beginning, and seeing you do all these things now, seeing everyone in the world appreciating how incredibly gifted you are, fills me with joy. Keep going, onward and upward! So, so glad to be here for the journey ! \m/
When this video popped up in my feed, I knew Tommy was gonna slay it! And he did! His tone and range were the perfect fit for this Journey classic. Until now, other than Steve Perry, I’ve only ever heard one other person sing it with justice and that’s Deen Castronovo. Tommy, you proved you are worthy of their company. Please cover more Journey! 👊🇨🇦
I think Arnel Pineda did an amazing job bringing back Journey to the world. I personally prefer Tommys coverversion, but Sweden is filled with amazing rock singers. The version released by Erik Grönwall is also really good. (he is now the lead singer in Skid Row) th-cam.com/video/xQbT-Qgrl20/w-d-xo.html
If someone had told my 18 y.o. me that I would have to wait until I reached my 50th anniversary to discover the best musicians of my life, I would have called that person a fool without knowing that I am the foolish one. Thanks to Tommy Johansson for being one of the golden singers of his generation. 👏👏👏❤❤❤
Tommy. Tommy. Tommy. Where you been all my life brother? Jack of all trades and exceptional at each.... Renaissance Man... as I aspire to be... Somebody GIVE THIS MAN A BIG FAT RECORD DEAL !!!!!!!! ---- So impressive. Love all the vids... thank you so much for sharing with us.
Brilliant performance 🎸🎶 And good production Tommy, loved it man....you are giving something to us that's been missing in music for a long time... Thanks.✖️♥️✖️🎸👑👍
There are 2 kinds of people that tackle Steve Perry vocals. 1) Those that fail miserably and, 2) Those that can actually sing on par with the vocal range and make it sound good. Tommy falls into category 2) Congrats Tommy you passed. You definitely have the range to sing in Steve's style.
Hello, since I met you, you make my day to day very happy, I have you on spotify and I listen to your songs that are wonderful, greetings from you who loves and admires you. Maria🌷❤❤❤❤
This brought tears to my eyes. You absolutely nailed this. This was my absolute favorite song when it came out on the Frontiers album back in 1983. I was 15. I'm now 54. Thank you! I'm a new Sabaton recruit and just recently saw you in Salt Lake City for the first time. I was introduced to you by my nephew whose dad (my brother-in-law) is a Lt. Colonel in the US Army. I love the back-up singing in Sabaton. I tell people you are like a heavy-metal mens choir. During your show, I was blindsided by you singing "Highway to Hell". What? That was awesome! He could be the lead singer of his own band! Little did I know that you already are. Then, yesterday, I was watching an interview with Hannes (I'm also a fan of Floor Jansen and Nightwish) where he referenced you doing something with Disney. Well, I just watched all your Disney stuff and am now exploring yet-annother rabbit hole. I hope you are considering a solo project and getting these covers on the streaming services. Later.🤘
How can the world's greatest singer, musician, and hair all be the same person???
Jajajaja, exacto. Sólo Tommy puede hacerlo.
The hair, don’t ever cut it, don’t ever lose that magnificent voice
the OTHER three in one. oops
Corey Taylor - 50% man \ 50% neck
Tommy Johansson - 50% man \ 50% hair
Classic lol
Thanks Tommy Johanson. The World has become a better place to live, due existence of people like you!!!!
I agree Tommy is out of this world with his voice
💯🤝

I am 70 years old thank-you for keeping proper music alive? Always good to hear somebody who can play and sing, thanks Tommy that was stunning
Love these comments! Such a wide variety of people love Tommy's music. I'm 45 btw..
i agree! 57yo
I’m 60 and I love his music and his voice…wow ❤️❤️❤️

I am 60 he is amazing, what a voice.!
unreal his ability to mimic the original in vocals and sound...this is world class range. Only a few people in the world can do this
I’m 72 years old and all I listen to is Tommy. Absolutely love his music, such a talented young man. Must be the envy of a lot of singers in our world. Thankyou. From New Zealand. 🇳🇿
absolutely amazing !! Love. it!!!
When the cover sounds better than the original...must be Tommy - this is another level - unbelievable
richard goodall's was fantastic as well

He must be a viking 💪
I always thought Steve Perry was the only person that could sing this song the right way and then I heard Tommy Johansson!❤
smiling down on tommy!
Agreed! For the last 30+ years I I have always believed that Steve was the voice of Journey and nobody could ever replace him but now think Tommy really could! Tommy…you did this song proud!
To be mentioned in the same breath as Steve Perry is quite an accomplishment! I'm floored. Outstanding Tommy!
@@robinkarns7512 Tommy can sing anybody's songs
Fredagen har blivit den bästa dagen på veckan av flera anledningar!
The thing about his singing: He always sounds like he means it. Whatever the words are, he brings them alive.
The absolute best cover I've ever heard. Steve Perry would be astonished by this version.
What about the Andre Matos's cover?
Dan Vasc does a very good job on this one too
As someone who considers Steve Perry to be one of the finest vocalists ever I must say, Awesomely well done sir.
Все что делает этот парень, всё пронизано высокой энергетикой. Уверен, такое нелегко даётся. Томми, береги себя, ты нам нужен.
I know I’m not the only person to request that all of his covers be put on Spotify.
All the covers I’ve heard, Tommy has stayed true to the original. The only difference is that, Tommy blows the original out the water.
I’ll say it again and again. His voice is absolutely magical.
i neeeeeeeed it so bad
I know!!! I really want his solo phantom of the opera cover on Spotify! 😭
@@damien4901 Me too
I do it on a weekly basis 😂
i believe you have to buy the rights first
It takes a LOT of voice range, power, and control to do a Journey cover, and YOU NAILED IT.
You don't make covers. You upgrade. What I love the most is the pure comfort of knowing that everything you wave your wand at turns out magical. And always with the best possible respect you can show the original - using your talent to make something already great greater.
I have to disagree on the upgrade part. It's pretty much impossible to do better than the original. (Blind Guardian being the exception)
@@dereklaing2929 I'd say this one's at least in par with the original, being maybe the most original-like of his interpretations. Of course it's a matter of taste, but I like Tommy's voice better. Also, the overall sound picture.
Literally the greatest version EVER of my favourite rock song EVER ..... YOU SIR "ROCK" !!!

Hello Jani!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Very glad you like it! Kiitos ☺️🙏
Journey’s iconic songs are the type that if you don’t get it all right, it will fail. This was very well done.
My favorite song of Juorney ❤
My god, you absolutely nailed it. Finally, someone who realises that if you're covering Journey, you commit to it and hit the damn notes properly!

hope to see you in april Boston!
Tommy knows the good songs from the 80's. 😀
Also meant to say congrats on the 60,000+ - watch it rise and rise as more people realize what is missing from their life.
Теперь,не возможно жить,что бы неслышать твоего голоса и не видеть тебя.Живи очень долго и радуй всех своим творчеством.❤
You….are…the king..of musik….🏆😇✌️🔥

The new star and a rising star is born 🎸🎸🎸🤟
I've seen Sabaton a few times in concert and I've always loved Tommy's enthusiasm and happiness when playing, but I honestly had no idea he was THIS talented, with the ability to sing and play guitar and piano. A true amazing talent.
And bass and drums and flute and he has recently started learning to play the accordion
@@helenhellfiredixon forgot about that 😃
yes, I knew it. It was amazing. And i noticed the time stamp. If we can get a Delorean that can produce 1.21 gigawatts of electricit at 88mph, we can get there 😁. Take care, Tommy and God Bless
You killed it!
The only other singer this good sitting down is Tom Jones! That's praise indeed
This young man is incredibly talented ! Please come to Canada I will buy the front row tickets for sure.
Tommy making every songs he cover better
I’m having an amazing Friday evening, jamming to my favorite independent artist, TOMMY!
I hope you tour here in America, but if not, I’ll fly to Europe just to be a small part of your awesome journey 🕊️❤️🕊️
As a big Journey fan, that was an absolutely stellar performance. Steve Perry is tough shoes to fill. Well done Tommy, well done.
Wow!it's blew my mind!This guy is an excellent singer and Amazing guitar player!
You can't see it but im giving you that that "stank face" we metalheads use when we know something fucking hits! Best compliment to see from an audience.
I saw journey on my birthday this year and honestly Neil doesn't even play the song this well himself
Very refreshing to have a younger generation reviving these songs....Fire House's "Reach for the Sky" is another one i think you'll dominate...
Goodness my heart stopped the minute he began singing! Totally EPIC!
This is amazing! I take it on mi smartphone. 👍🤟🤟🤟
steve perry comes back love it
Bravo Tommy !!!

I've been a big fan since he played lead guitar for Sabaton. I just didnt know what an awesome vocalist he is. Now I do though. :}
Another Friday, another great song
Who will beat this voice? No one!
Tom he's got it
This man somehow managed to take my favorite song from Journey and make it even more powerful.
Respect.
Merci Tommy pour ce morceaux très vintage. Un chouette retour dans les eighties.
Merci de me faire voyager dans le temps🤩🤘
Me and Hubby bow deeply for you, this was the greatest cover of a journey song we have listened to.
Can't wait. i know it is going to be fantastic. Take care, Tommy and, as always, God bless

Beautiful song by the way.
