It's impossible to replace Vortex's vocals, which I wouldn't expect to happen... but if Dimmu had to get a singer to do "clean" vocals, I highly hope they consider bringing Agnette on for a full album at the least. Also, there are times during this performance and the Wacken version, where she looks downright possessed, which definetly fits the visual aspect of Dimmu extremely well. I understand we will never get Vortex back... but if we are moving on from him, Agnette would do the job extremely well.
As a Norwegian guy, I obviously listened to Dimmu when I was young, playing it much too loud in an old Volvo 240 with a huge subwoofer in the trunk, scaring old ladies crossing the road as they hear "brenn alle kristne!" being sung by a guy that sounds like satan over the stereo. (translates to "burn all christians" they were kinda considered satanistic by most back then. :P)
@@themplar I'm Norwegian and I second that as I can understand, especially German to an extent, listening to Rammstein. The only band is Mayhem which is Norwegian 🤔😉 Then again no one understand them in any sense I guess
As a Swede, thank you for buying a Volvo :D And i listen to Mayhem and Burzum! Love the Norwegian black metal scene. The Swedish is just meh, good but not the same feeling as Burzum!
Would be cool with a double feature with both of the formerly mentioned songs (Phoenix and Mother North) , since "Phoenix" is so atypical for Satyricon and actually closer to the guest vocalists former band Madrugada (not active at the time Satyr, who was a big fan of them wrote the song, but they're now partly reunited)
@@hawaii2k Saw them twice, once at a small student's union right before their big break through with the Industrial Silence album, and also on their last tour before Buraas unfortunate death. Such a fantastic live brand. Not seem them after the reunion. The only Satyricon shows the Oslo region I've missed the least years has of course been the ones with Sivert Høyem...
Fun fact: As the orchestra is the Broadcasting Orchestra this show was shown in its entirety on NRK, Norway's answer to the BBC. So yes, a full Black Metal concert was shown on TV in Norway. I think it was in a 10pm or thereabouts timeslot as well. I was never the biggest fan of Dimmu Borgir, though they have a lot of good stuff. The album this song is from though just perfectly nails that symphonic black metal blend that Dimmu has been going for since the beginning.
You really need to check out "The Mourning Palace" live at wacken also with the orchestra... its my absolute favorite song. It was never made for an orchestra, but it goes along perfect and made it even better. And yes it was a full concert with the orchestra and choir. BTW take special notice of the trombone guy going full in on that video.
Metal lends itself to be orchestrated best out of any music genre. There's so many damn fantastic bands in Europe that have done orchestra backed shows and every single one of them was fantastic.
Mourning Palace was one of two songs on a sampler CD that came with a magazine a friend brought over that made me learn how to make mp3s back in the day. Back in the mid 90s when you had to record it live to a WAV (before you could read audio tracks as data) and then wait for almost an hour to encode it to an mp3 because computers were slow and the only encoder available was the reference encoder from Fraunhofer which was not optimized for speed. The other song was Lake of Tears - Devil's Diner.. Also amazing song.
Wow. I've never listen to Dimmu, just never wanted to; but now I do want to hear more. Everything! A band that is capable of this... wow, I lovet it. Thanks!!!
The mixing on this DVD is absolutely perfect! I've seen (or heard) it so often that when bands perform with an orchestra only the brass and percussion sections are really audible and strings, wind etc. are just drowned out. Here it's absolutely wonderful and one is even able to distinguish what the individual orchestral sections are doing. Huge thanks to the audio staff from every orchestral musician who has played with a band before!
The first Black Metal band I listened to that opened the rabbit hole for my fascination with this genre. Black Metal has it's TRVE KVLT followers that are the gatekeepers. Dimmu Borgir will always have a place for my appreciation of this genre. If you do not know Dissection, Nagflar and Emperor I highly suggest them to you! You do not have to react to these bands. Thanks for the reaction Tank!! Rock On!
Just started watching this Chanel like 2 weeks ago and I’m glad there’s a video on dummy Borgir! Especially this song ! I had a time where I would listen to gateways EVERY day! Loving this channel
Happy to see a reaction to Dimmu Borgir! Bought the DVD when it came out. Not disappointed at all with both concerts. It's awesome to see some orchestra members at Wacken wearing face paint and head banging to the music when they weren't playing their part.
I've seen the video so many times, but I still learned about the gear. It's such a spectacle with such contrast to see a metal band play along an orchestra, I think Insomnium did that in Finland a couple of years back on a festival. Wish I had been there!
so in this production Dimmu Borgir played in one of the biggerst venues in Oslo. the choir and orchestra are they played with are called national. this was aslo showed live on the "NRK" norways version of the "BBC" national broadcast TV station.
Yes! Great to see Dimmu and Bodom appreciation! Brings back memories. Hope you get to know even more Nordic and especially Finnish metal/rock like Sonata Arctica, Sentenced, Diablo, 69 eyes etc. ❤️🤘
Been waiting for this one. I may have went many years without listening to them, just as you have , but they're one of my all-time faves and I will always drift in and out of following Dimmu. My favorite song of theirs. Hybrid Stigmata the apostasy.
I absolutely love DIMMU borgir, their early stuff is amazing too. Thanks for this awesome reaction. Have you listened to “serpentine offering” - goosebumps and sore neck time lol- beyond amazing Greetings from Scotland🏴🤘
This just proves once again that anything can work in metal, there's not a single genre of music that marries so well with practically any instrument. Also, I've commented a few times now but never about the actual videos. I'm not usually one for reaction videos because they're often just people staring at a screen without doing anything or really overexaggerating, but you actually have something interesting to say. Keep it up \m/
been a Dimmu Fan for roughly 16, 17 years now. personally "In sorte Diaboli" is probably my favorite out of the "newer" ones. It ranks directly around "death Cult Armageddon" and "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" good stuff... also I believe on "In Sorte Diaboli" the Drummer Hellhammer produced the first on record 300+bpm Double Bass segment, in the opening Song "The Serpentine Offering", which I HIGHLY.. and I mean HIGHLY reccomend.
I love Dimmu so much. Definitely one of my favorite bands ever. Their orchestral arrangements are phenomenal. You should check out Septicflesh's show with a full choir and orchestra it's just as amazing as this. Enemy of Truth is probably the best song from that show
Hey man, just discovered your channel and subscribed in an instant. Loved the amount of research that went into this video and how you give the viewer all these little info boxes. Cheers from Austria 🤘
As well as dvd there's blu-ray release available containing big art book with 2 cd, 2 dvd and 2 blu-rays. 2 live concerts one in Oslo and other one at Waken plus loads of extras like who, when, how and etc. Loads of interviews as well. Behind scenes and amazing look at sound and video engineers trucks.
Finally someone else in the industry who I can listen to and knows what he’s talking about and how much goes into these productions. Thankyou from another worker. P..s. I was at that show.
@@TankTheTech I was absolutely mind blown. I wasn’t in the crowd. But had a better view. I hadn’t seen any of the SC’s - so I wasn’t sure what I was stepping into. But as soon as the orchestra started - and the choir kicked in. I was like “this is special”
Yey!! Dimmu!! ⭐️🔥🔥🇳🇴🇳🇴👌🏼 Awesome reaction as always man! I have been listening to Dimmu for years 😃 Norway can make good metal aswell! Awesome that you reacted to them!! We have the same taste in music 😊Greetings from the Norwegian shieldmaiden 🇳🇴🇳🇴😃😃
I did see them 2012 at Wacken:Open:Air and they had their choir and orchestra with them. I think they did only those two shows, one in Oslo and one in Wacken. To this day one of the most impressive live shows I've seen (after Lordi, obiously, but they're just mad)
Oh boy! We reached Dimmu Borgir, baby! I strooongly suggest you give a listen to their live performance of The Insight & The Catharsis live from Wacken, back when they had Vortex on bass and clean vocals and Mustis on keyboards, best line-up in my opinion!
Nice video! Great to see a Dimmu Borgir reaction on your channel. Maybe you can do a full "DVD Review" of the Forces of the Northern Light release from Dimmu Borgir? That would give you more time to analyze everything you find worth covering and put that in a video. All the "Forces of the Northern Light" performances are amazing.
I've been desperately waiting for you and Chase to react to Dimmu Borgir. I was honestly expecting Chase to do it first since you'd mentioned listening to Old School Dimmu in a older video. Progenies of the Great Apocalypse or The Serpentine Offering would be great from these guys too. Or maybe some Fleshgod Apocalypse either Sugar or The Violation. Edit - Great Reaction! I can't wait for more Dimmu! The more Dimmu I see/hear, the happier I am.
I love most how you break shit down, like when talking about the audio inputs for the orchestra, or the entirety of them being dependent on the drummer's ability to keep tempo. You're one of the few reacters out there who pays attention to shit like that, i really appreciate that level of detail and personal knowledge.
this wasnt my first Dimmu experience, but it is one of the best! i LOVE the mix of Metal and Orchestra together, it's just beautiful. honestly my only grief is that Vortex is no longer in the band and i quickly became a fan when he would do vocals alongside Shagrath, as he had an awesome set of pipes on him!
What I really appreciate about your video's is that you actually take the time to care about not only the gear and live production, but also the background of the band/performer/song. You're reactions are also quite genuine, compared to other reaction channels where the person in front of the camera tends to over-react, acting overly excited about the video and music they listen to and tend to do some form crazy antics in front of the camera to garner more views. Love watching your reactions and also learned some more things about this band that I didn't know. 🤘
You also take the time to respond to the comments. I'm looking at the comments and you at least Liked almost all of the comments. Keeps people coming back. 👍
i was so hyped, as they released this on bluray... the audio is mindblowing. i miss ICS Vortex. The contrast to shagrath's voice was one of the highlights in their older songs.
I wasn't expecting this one neither... well done! Now you could go for an awesome band called Septicflesh that's doing symphonic death metal with orchestration as an integral part of their sound. The orchestra alone is death metal. You could watch "Dark Art" live from the Infernus Sinfonica DVD.
well I didn't expect black metal on this channel lol I love this band even though I am not that much into black metal but everything which involves Symphonic or Melodic is marvelous if you dogged this song do check "dimmu borgir - Vredesbyrd" and "dimmu borgir - fear and wonder"
Also, the Norwegian banshee is well worth checking out. Djerv - "Headstone" is always on my playlists no matter what I'm doing. Her work with Animal Alpha is also quite entertaining, but I think her vocal prowess is better displayed in Djerv.
Damm, what a show! These guys spare no expenses 😂 I would like to hear from you some comments about the in-ear monitors commonly used in those live shows, I'm totally ignorant in that matter...
Hey Tank :) Just a friendly reminder, that you haven't reacted to Unleash the Archers in quite some time and seeing how much you loved the first one, I bet you'll love the next one, "Tonight We Ride", just as much
Thanks, Mate, for pointing out European metal from special phase and time. Thank you. Like everybody else in Europe I’d like to give you a handful bands that are very fundamental of paving the way of black and death metal in the 90s. And also I’ve discovered some (or at least) a lot of promising new bands. Cheers, Mate
When I saw them live somewhere between '97 and '99 I can't remember they were 'dressed up' like this. Cool show! But I recommend (once again) to check out Epica and their Retrospect (2013) live show :) Also with orchestra and a choir. Songs: Unleashed, Chasing the Dragon, Introspect/Monopoly On Truth and of course for some Floor; Sancta Terra. Also Within Temptation (Black Symphony) has done such a concert (2008). Song suggestions: Our solemn hour, Jillian, Enter, What have you done. Talking about a huge video wall! This show has it all. Fun fact: Simone was several months pregnant during the Retrospect show and Sharon was ill (on meds) during the Black Symphony show.
This performance was shown on national tv live, so the production was done by NRK and they really know what they are doing xD (I might be mistaken though)
Solid performance, as expected of DB. The greeting at the beginning makes me so glad I studied Danish for a year, now I almost understand Norwegian. ...no such luck with Danish though.
I have to agree with you, that is some epic f*cking sh*t 😂 I love the shot of the cello players with their bows all torn up, so hardcore haha. Also love the Tank Facts(TM)! They really help connect with the band and it's a lot more fun to know all the details about the production and such :) I would highly recommend you to check out Scardust! They also have an epic choir called Hellscore in most of their songs, and all the players are very talented- their singer Noa is just amazing. Their song 'Tantibus II' is one of my favorites and also has a live version :))
I love Dimmu and this live video so much! I would love to see you react to Skálmöld - Kvaðning live with Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands. Its amazing band with orchestra the sound is just epic af!
You must see their performance at the Wacken 2007 concert with ICS Vortex singing and Mustis on keyboards. Listen to “Progenies of the Great Apocalypse.”. Will blow your mind!
Dude. This band has been a huge part of my life since back in the day like you said, In Flames and Bodom. These are bands that also got me into the European metal world! This is awesome, I also forgot about Dimmu Borgir until hearing this. Fuck man, you really need to check out some Septicflesh! 🤘🤘
I've always wanted to hear someone do Enya's Orinoco flow in the style of Dimmu's Mourning Palace, and vice-versa. There are some similar sounding electronic sounds between the two.
What blows me away is that this concert was broadcast live on Norwegian TV. Not sure if it was on one of its main channels, as even in Germany when you get festival programmes (like Wacken or Rock am Ring), these are broadcast on niche channels or internet only.
Its awesome, i love it, and am disappointed by it at the same time. Its an amazing song, its just not what i hoped for. Lightbringer is probably my favorite on the album.
BTW, if you liked that guitar player Galder (the bald guy), he was a lead singer/guitar in his own band: Old Man's Child. He has some insane playing in his songs. If you google his name and band, and look at pictures, you will see he is using that model you guessed. He just seems to tape it up a lot.
Hey Tank, I have just come across an awesome band! The Warning, from Mexico! Ever heard of them? Either way you need to check them out at your earliest convenience! Try "Survivor" live or "XXI century blood! After that "Black Holes" also live! You will be stunned! "You have been warned!" 😉
Still waiting on that reaction to the new Amon Amarth video of Fafner's Gold that just dropped. But no rush, because we know what day tomorrow is! Best day of the week!
Vow the H.. did I miss this one. I have suggested it many times and you answers that you used to listen a lot to them.. and then I missed it.. lol But excellent reaction 👍🏼
Well, yes and no. He used to play Jackson years and years ago. But he switched to ESP exclusively and they made his signature guitar ever since, which is based on a a Jackson RR.

It's impossible to replace Vortex's vocals, which I wouldn't expect to happen... but if Dimmu had to get a singer to do "clean" vocals, I highly hope they consider bringing Agnette on for a full album at the least. Also, there are times during this performance and the Wacken version, where she looks downright possessed, which definetly fits the visual aspect of Dimmu extremely well. I understand we will never get Vortex back... but if we are moving on from him, Agnette would do the job extremely well.
Q: What does a metalhead order at McDonald's?
A: A dimmu burgers and a cradle of fries
Thanks, I'll be back next week
Such and old and bad joke but always brings me a smile.
Thanks, you made my shitty day better 😉
What, no Satyricola?
i mean, you literally just ripped this joke of from metalacolpyse where there is a store called dimmu burger.
On a merciful plate....
Don't forget the Chicken of Bodom!
As a Norwegian guy, I obviously listened to Dimmu when I was young, playing it much too loud in an old Volvo 240 with a huge subwoofer in the trunk, scaring old ladies crossing the road as they hear "brenn alle kristne!" being sung by a guy that sounds like satan over the stereo. (translates to "burn all christians" they were kinda considered satanistic by most back then. :P)
Its funny how i can kinda deciver what some texts mean in Norwegian. (Dutch myself)
@@themplar I'm Norwegian and I second that as I can understand, especially German to an extent, listening to Rammstein. The only band is Mayhem which is Norwegian 🤔😉 Then again no one understand them in any sense I guess
As a Swede, thank you for buying a Volvo :D And i listen to Mayhem and Burzum! Love the Norwegian black metal scene. The Swedish is just meh, good but not the same feeling as Burzum!
Satyricon recorded a show with the Norwegian opera choir at the Oslo opera house. Worth checking out!
The song Mother North, being the most obvious pick from that concert.
Phoenix ❤
Would be cool with a double feature with both of the formerly mentioned songs (Phoenix and Mother North) , since "Phoenix" is so atypical for Satyricon and actually closer to the guest vocalists former band Madrugada (not active at the time Satyr, who was a big fan of them wrote the song, but they're now partly reunited)
@@galeris I love Madrugada! They're from my home town and seen them, and Sivert, multiple times.
@@hawaii2k Saw them twice, once at a small student's union right before their big break through with the Industrial Silence album, and also on their last tour before Buraas unfortunate death.

The other song was Lake of Tears - Devil's Diner.. Also amazing song.
Lmfao I saw the trombone dude😂😂
Dimmu is amazing!!!!!
Awww yes Dimmu. I love their big live shows like this.
For me the biggest star of this song is always Agnette's voice, she's a real vocal beast. :) Ofc big props for Dimmu. :)
Wow. I've never listen to Dimmu, just never wanted to; but now I do want to hear more. Everything!
A band that is capable of this... wow, I lovet it. Thanks!!!
Go checkout their older stuffs with ICS Vortex. He's a god and those songs are pure mastepiece.

Appreciate you sir this is just a friggin great production like you said...

Also Monnalisa by Fleshgod Apocalypse. Less headbanging but way more awesome video in my opinion.

ICS Vortex's voice is incredible!
Have to watch this again. Can't get enough of Tank (and Dimmu!!)
Speaking of performing with an orchestra... this is the weekly Skalmold request. :D
And now let's go bang our head to good ol' classic GATEWAAAAAAYS !

Amazing! The micing on that one. And then mixing and monitoring it!
Love your head banging! Growing my hair out to do the same. Wish I could see them in CA.
Luv dimmu borgir..... can't say to much just love thier gig......superb
Another great song is “The mourning Palace”. Live with orchestra. Awesome. Live at Wacken.
well I didn't expect black metal on this channel lol
I love this band even though I am not that much into black metal but everything which involves Symphonic or Melodic is marvelous
if you dogged this song do check "dimmu borgir - Vredesbyrd" and "dimmu borgir - fear and wonder"
agreed, i cant do "hardcore" Black Metal either, but Progressive, Symphonic or Melodic Black i can handle.
Hurrah! Liking this before I even see the video!
Also, the Norwegian banshee is well worth checking out. Djerv - "Headstone" is always on my playlists no matter what I'm doing. Her work with Animal Alpha is also quite entertaining, but I think her vocal prowess is better displayed in Djerv.
I saw Dimmu with vortex and Hellhammer in drums….. it was absolute perfection!!!!!
Damm, what a show! These guys spare no expenses 😂 I would like to hear from you some comments about the in-ear monitors commonly used in those live shows, I'm totally ignorant in that matter...
Awesome reaction, Dimmu Borgir takes me back to my teenage years! Good to see the hat didn't last very long 😂
I was there. still one of the most amazing shows that I've been to (and I've seen many)
Yessssss Dimmu.. And the lady you see there, sings in an band called Djerv
fantastic production into your reaction with the pop up video feel
Thanks!
Yeah I got into COB, In Flames and Dimmu all around the same time, around the mid 90s.
yup same list same time. getting older.
If I recall correctly, they did an Orchestra backed show at Wacken a buncha years back too.
Also, that female singer is Agnete from Djerv. Her band is everything from power ballad to rock to metally to No Doubt to Guano Apes.
Oh yeah, Agnete is also the one singing in the League of Legends song Get Jinxed.
Tank hows it good to see you'll still killing it
Kings of the carnival creation is one of my favorite if you haven’t heard that one in awhile !
Hey Tank :)
Just a friendly reminder, that you haven't reacted to Unleash the Archers in quite some time
and seeing how much you loved the first one, I bet you'll love the next one, "Tonight We Ride", just as much
Soon. Like, very soon. 😎
Also their new album is fabulous.
Check out SEPTIC FLESH Live in Mexico also with full Orchestra and Choir !!!!!
Thanks, Mate, for pointing out European metal from special phase and time. Thank you. Like everybody else in Europe I’d like to give you a handful bands that are very fundamental of paving the way of black and death metal in the 90s. And also I’ve discovered some (or at least) a lot of promising new bands. Cheers, Mate
This is what a react channel should look like. Great edits!
Thanks a ton! Much appreciated!
This is awesome !!! Love it. 🤟🏻
When I saw them live somewhere between '97 and '99 I can't remember they were 'dressed up' like this. Cool show! But I recommend (once again) to check out Epica and their Retrospect (2013) live show :) Also with orchestra and a choir. Songs: Unleashed, Chasing the Dragon, Introspect/Monopoly On Truth and of course for some Floor; Sancta Terra. Also Within Temptation (Black Symphony) has done such a concert (2008). Song suggestions: Our solemn hour, Jillian, Enter, What have you done. Talking about a huge video wall! This show has it all. Fun fact: Simone was several months pregnant during the Retrospect show and Sharon was ill (on meds) during the Black Symphony show.
This is why Dimmu Borgir is my favorite band. They are so good.
Yooo big like for the Dimmu!! MOURNING PALACE from the same performance \m/ also the female guest vocalist is Agnete from a band called Djerv.
Check them out also at Wacken w the czech orchestra 😉
You should know the song “Mourning Palace” but it’s still amazing 🤘
That concert reminds me of Septic Flesh in Mexico 2019, a full Symphony Orchestra and even a children's choir. True! Don't forget Therion!
This performance was shown on national tv live, so the production was done by NRK and they really know what they are doing xD (I might be mistaken though)
I lost it when Tank did the windmill headbang!! LOL
Orchestra + Choir + Metal??
Time for your 2nd Epica!!
Design Your Universe @ Retrospect
So great performance in this live...LOVE Dimmu
Solid performance, as expected of DB.
The greeting at the beginning makes me so glad I studied Danish for a year, now I almost understand Norwegian.
...no such luck with Danish though.
Hahahahaha
I love how tank is getting into everything we all love this is awesome =D dude Wacken really needs to happen now if you keep this up
I have to agree with you, that is some epic f*cking sh*t 😂 I love the shot of the cello players with their bows all torn up, so hardcore haha. Also love the Tank Facts(TM)! They really help connect with the band and it's a lot more fun to know all the details about the production and such :)
I would highly recommend you to check out Scardust! They also have an epic choir called Hellscore in most of their songs, and all the players are very talented- their singer Noa is just amazing. Their song 'Tantibus II' is one of my favorites and also has a live version :))
🤘
I love Dimmu and this live video so much! I would love to see you react to Skálmöld - Kvaðning live with Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands. Its amazing band with orchestra the sound is just epic af!
You must see their performance at the Wacken 2007 concert with ICS Vortex singing and Mustis on keyboards. Listen to “Progenies of the Great Apocalypse.”. Will blow your mind!
Dude. This band has been a huge part of my life since back in the day like you said, In Flames and Bodom. These are bands that also got me into the European metal world! This is awesome, I also forgot about Dimmu Borgir until hearing this. Fuck man, you really need to check out some Septicflesh! 🤘🤘
I've always wanted to hear someone do Enya's Orinoco flow in the style of Dimmu's Mourning Palace, and vice-versa. There are some similar sounding electronic sounds between the two.
It's not like you want to hear it; it's there. Shagrath's daughter is called Enya too. It's amazing lol
Love this one too. Thankyou.
What blows me away is that this concert was broadcast live on Norwegian TV. Not sure if it was on one of its main channels, as even in Germany when you get festival programmes (like Wacken or Rock am Ring), these are broadcast on niche channels or internet only.
You would definitely like their new song "Interdimensional Summit"!
That’s the one new song I’ve heard, and I do
like it!
Its awesome, i love it, and am disappointed by it at the same time. Its an amazing song, its just not what i hoped for. Lightbringer is probably my favorite on the album.
Love the "Tank Note" super!!
Kings of the carnival creation . Live ozzfest. Life changer 🤘
So Glad to hear about COB. Maybe a special RIP video for the band. Talking about their gear?
Could be fun!
BTW, if you liked that guitar player Galder (the bald guy), he was a lead singer/guitar in his own band: Old Man's Child. He has some insane playing in his songs. If you google his name and band, and look at pictures, you will see he is using that model you guessed. He just seems to tape it up a lot.
Love this band from my homeland🤟
Hey Tank,
I have just come across an awesome band!
The Warning, from Mexico! Ever heard of them?
Either way you need to check them out at your earliest convenience!
Try "Survivor" live or "XXI century blood! After that "Black Holes" also live! You will be stunned!
"You have been warned!" 😉
The whole concert is wicked.
Wow, you go above and beyond. Most people do the most minimal of reactions. You put a lot of work into this, so you get a like and subscribe.🤟🤟🤟
Thanks a ton, man!
How about Serpentine offering? Awesome for a double header
Still waiting on that reaction to the new Amon Amarth video of Fafner's Gold that just dropped. But no rush, because we know what day tomorrow is! Best day of the week!
Vow the H.. did I miss this one. I have suggested it many times and you answers that you used to listen a lot to them.. and then I missed it.. lol
But excellent reaction 👍🏼
Alexi Laiho's Signature "Wild Child" is a "Jackson" Randy Rhodes series guitar
Well, yes and no. He used to play Jackson years and years ago. But he switched to ESP exclusively and they made his signature guitar ever since, which is based on a a Jackson RR.
@@TankTheTech true, but I always considered his signature guitar being the "WildChild".
