Oddly enough (to me) not a single person in the comments recommends "Eagle has landed" or "Smells like a freakshow". The first has a chorus that WILL BE stuck in your head for... Well it hasnt left so far
Eagle has landed is my favorite song from them, both because it´s an amazing song and because it has an amazing videoclip that goes so well with it. And Smells like a freakshow is one of the best examples of the best album from Avatar, althoug I maybe would go with "Let it burn". But amazing picks for sure!
@@TheCityProd Hail the Apocalypse is not a soft song, what are you talking about? It's not the heaviest, but it's not soft. Also, it's groovy as fuck so who cares?
The vocalist, Johannes, has such great stage presence. He's actually a shy dude off stage, but once he gets on stage, he controls the crowd. Their shows are always great fun. I didn't really like Avatar until I saw them live. I love when a band really put on a show and don't just play through their setlist. I mean, unless it's one of your favorite bands, you won't watch a band that just play through their setlist more than once. Avatar has lots of great songs. The Eagle has Landed is their hit-song and you'll never go wrong with that. Hail the Apocalypse, Let it Burn, Smells like a Freakshow and A Statue of the King are also great songs to go to next.
First time I saw Avatar was at Wacken last year, and damn that was a great show, Johannes is an incredible frontman and can really work the crowd. It was one of my fav gigs at Wacken and I can't wait to get to see them again.
@@peterlidstrom7075 Yeah, that show was great, probably one of my favorite shows last year too. They surprised me the first time I saw them as I wasn't prepared for such a good show :P
@@CrimChild I was kind of prepared as one of my friends had seen them at another festival earlier in the summer, but they still impressed me massively. Avatar, Bloodywood and Frogleap were my fav gigs at Wacken last year.
My first Avatar song was “Let It Burn”. It came on randomly on Spotify one day and I’ve been hooked since. “Hail the Apocalypse”, “The Eagle Has Landed”, “...Avatar Country” and a to. of other songs are great introductory songs that all have different sounds.
Have you checked out Hunter Gatherer yet? I just found out about it a couple of days ago, while it's already been out since August. And there's 2 Corey Taylor cameos!
They’re currently doing Avatar Ages: four individual concerts throughout January and each is based off one of the bands phases or eras. I didn’t think it would be this good because it’s through a computer, but they put so much thought into crafting each stage, changing consumes, using LED screen backgrounds and the sets are fan voted. Their showmanship is really being highlighted through all of this right now
I've seen some spectacular shows - Maiden, Rammstein, TSO etc. I've never had more fun or been more entertained than by Avatar in Toronto a couple of nights ago.
Like I said in the chat, Avatar is one of the best live bands at the moment (at least in my opinion). If you want an even heavier song, try "Hail the Apocalypse" live from Wacken. For a somewhat different song try "Puppet Show" from the same festival like "Bloody Angel" (it even has a solo with an instrument I bet you won't guess in advance ;))
Avatar shows never get old. Love every one of them. They are the only band that makes concept albums that I enjoy. Super creative. And killer musicians.
This is so amazing,I was there,this was my third visit to the festival which,in my opinion is the MOST POWERFUL metal and rock festival on earth. It is actually a town built for the music lovers,with schools,barbers,shops,all services you would need to function properly for a week or so.A few years back,when Arch Enemy gave their gig,Alissa admitted that it had been the best concert of her life and if I am not mistaken,over 800.000 people attended the show. I was there too,obviously!
I remember seeing Avatar open for BabyMetal not too long ago. I had always know of them but never listened to them. They blew me and everybody else away at that show and we were all super hyped during their show.
One of the best live performances you'll ever experience. Interesting observation on the stage setup -- their lighting & gear is some of the best I've seen for a metal band of this caliber.
I live in Gothenburg and I used to work with the bass player's brother. Never met the player but his brother is one of the friendliest blokes you could find :)
Everyone is recommending their live performances, and I totally understand why, they are phenomenal live, but I would throw in some of their official videos too, because they are alot of fun, clever, creative, original, well produced. If you check out The Eagle Has Landed, please make it the studio official video version. Thank you. And New Land too, such a fun video.
Saw these guys in Tuska last month. And yeah, they´re awesome. What a stage presence the singer has. And never heard them before. Was impressed and now can´t stop listening to them :D Cheers from Finland my fellow metalheads
After listening to them for what seems like an age I finally saw Avatar live on Sunday. What a show beyond my wildest expectations. They could teach many bigger bands something about showmanship
I am so fucking happy right now :D So happy you reacted, so happy you liked it!! Unfortunatly there's no solo in Bloody angel, but they are really really good with solos too (for a music video check out silence in the age of apes from latest album, got mad good solo from both jonas and tim) apart from that, most live stuff is awsome :D (they do really nice music videos too though!) And spot on, they are so passionate about their music, and they love what they do. Everyone in the band writes songs, and then they get together and bring out the best of the song :)
You just made my day! Discovered them last year, can’t stop listening to them! They’re definitely a live band but they have great videos too. They are a very ecclectic band, so you may not be prepared for every songs (hopefully you will) For the next one maybe do an official video, because the other released videos of this show are not the best songs but still cool Hail the apocalypse King’s harvest Statue of the king Silence in the age of apes Colossus
hell yeah man! Avatar is incredible, and I made the same mistake as you - I could have seen them 2-3 years before I did as they were at a festival I went to, but too early in the day so I skipped it. Then 2017 I saw them at Chicago Open Air and fell INSTANTLY IN LOVE. Then I kicked the shit out of myself for not seeing them earlier, but luckily I've seen them 3 times since. I wish they were huge - I hope they will be in the next few years.
Eagle has Landed, Hail The Apocalypse, Smells Like a Freakshow are all incredible openers by Avatar! They have so much to work with. Please do more Avatar videos!
So one of the things I really like about this channel is the pop up vid, erm, Tank Facts because they can make something which, perhaps, one might hope to never be forced to endure again a Lot more bearable. Those guitars are beautiful.
Avatar has easily become my favorite band, my wife and sons as well. We just saw them at the “House of Blues” in Chicago for the “Dance Devil Dance” tour and they killed it. I’m constantly shocked that they aren’t more well known amongst the Metal community.
One of my favourite YT reactors making a video about one of my favourite bands performing live at the best festival in my country?? I must be dreaming!! Thank you!!
You just cant go through life without hearing LET IT BURN from Avatar. I just had some random music in the background when this song came, and my head just started banging like crazy. My headset flew off and i had to log out from the game to see wtf i was listening too. Watch the live version, they sound so damn good live compared to official vids.
Thank You for Finding the Brilliance of This Band. I don’t know what it is About Their Music, perhaps it’s the high resonance hertz. But They Make Me SO HAPPY!!! Tsar Bomba IS AWESOME . The Guitar is Going to blow You Away. And Yes Ibanez Sg with different and Brilliantly Customised Hardware 🤘🏻🌞🤘🏻
ngl just came across you channel I love the "Tank fact" that pop up on the screen not many people do that type of thing but instead talk loads and spend less time just listening to the music, and also got to love the headbanging amazing stuff
Awesome band, and yes, they really shine live. Saw them supporting Halestorm in Birmingham UK in 2018 and they blew me away. Further listening: Hail the Apocalypse, The Eagle has Landed, The King Welcomes you to Avatar Country. Live or studio, all good.
I loved the way this song led into "Vultures Fly" at their Wacken 2015 show "Hail the Apocalypse," "Let It Burn," & of course "Smells Like a Freakshow" are always killer tracks as well. And you are absolutely right. This band is phenomenal live. I'd recommend their concert as quickly as i would Slipknot or Rammstein. Should be on everyone's bucket list
I'm not a real rocker myself even though I'm completely surrounded by them - husband, closest friends etc - but after watching and listening to Avatar's video Hail the Apocalypse I was completely sold. 😂🤪❤️🙏🏼❤️ I love them! Do watch that crazy video, it’s absolutely awesome!!
The mother of vocalist Johannes is from Gelsenkirchen (Germany) and he speaks German quite well and his interaction with the crowd at the Summerbreeze was just hilarious
Personally, I like their studio stuff every bit as much as their live. The crunch really comes out on the studio versions, IMHO. Bloody Angel is my fav of theirs, so it was great to see your breakdown.
I went to an Avatar concert when the album "Avatar Country" came out, and they are stupid good in person especially in a smaller place like where I live, they interacted with the crowd a lot and the whole time they just kept delivering on every song, def my fav band
Avatar is fkn awesome live. I love everything about them....... Recently overshadowed for me by Jinjer, but I would go see avatar anytime, anywhere, for almost any price. They're amazing.
The fact that we got we got the most unique and the most powerful bands ever in sweden, that made me proud to be Swedish. And i'm playing on a Ibanez Iron Label RGIR20E and i love that guitar. 😍
YES! Avatar is one of my favorite bands. They KICK ASS live. Its hard to choose, but this song and Hail the Apocalypse are probably my favorite songs. The Eagle Has Landed is also good for first introductions
I seen them live in Sept and they fucking killed it. First time seeing them and I was completely blown away. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Why haven't I listen to them before??? I am obsessed, my new favorite band.
I'm quite sure I've been requesting Avatar for longer than 2 months but you're totally forgiven! You did this one just when they announced some live streams so... bad day fixed! I'm sooo glad you enjoyed one of my fave bands! They're super underrated, great musicians, an epic vocalist with an insane range, their energy is off charts and you probably won't find 2 songs alike. They are amazing live, as you now know, but they also have the best videos! I'd go with Smells Like a Freakshow or Hail the Apocalypse @ Wacken next but you just can't go wrong with anything from them (fangirling intensifies) PS: they even have a "movie"!!
hey tank you can see that this band pulls everyone under its spell and takes you on a journey so I wish you would review more of this great band, thanks from your brother from Germany
Your analyzing of the song and the stage hit the core. Avatar create every song, every video and every album as a compreensive piece of art. You have to check out the video to bloody angel.
Yay an Avatar reaction! They are one of my all-time favourite bands. I've lost count how often I've seen them live over the years (something around 20 times I think...), made great friends with other fans and photographers through them and met the guys on numerous occasions, always great to talk to and have a little chat with. Also, I just realised it has been over a year since my last Avatar concert. But they announced a couple of live stream shows for January so that's something.
Awsome :) Torn Apart is a really cool music video, It´s like played backwards, Really cool. Avatar is one of my fav band, They´re so awsome. Im so hyped over the fact that you finally gave them a chance :) You´re awsome, Love your videos bro...
I heard them first live and based on the strength of that one performance I grabbed two t-shirts and an album. They have some kick-ass music videos too though. One of the things I love about the band is how varied their music can get. I'd recommend listening to Smells like a Feak Show, Avatar Country, Napalm, A Statue of The King and A Secret Door. If you want to watch a video, you're going to love all the callouts to other great metal bands in Avatar Country.
Saw these guys in Houston when they opened for FFDP. My initial reaction was the same as yours. Thought they were going to be a joke, then they started playing. They made a fan for life that night. Hail the Apocalypse or Smells like a Freak Show should be next.
Saw them live with 5FDP and In Flames in Shreveport back in 2015. They were touring their "Hail The Apocalypse" album. It was an unexpected surprise. Dove in and love them since.
Avatar rocks, great video. My favorite song by them is Let It Burn! Also, I would give the advice not to worry about your judgement earlier in life. Our time is limited. We can't watch every movie or show, play every game, hear every song. Making snap thoughts and judgements only makes you human. We all do it. We need reasons not to try and taste absolutely everything, because that's impossible, and trying to do so would drive you insane.
Huge Avatar fan here, and it has brought me to your channel. I gotta say I absolutely love your energy and reactions and your insight on what is going on. The Tank facts, the still shots accompanying your explanations. Love it. Well done man, will be checking out more of your stuff. As you can tell from other comments, "Hail the Apocalypse" is their huge breakout song and it's obvious to see why once you hear it. Other fantastic choices include, "Smells like a Freak Show" but I love the album version much more than the video version. Check both and you'll see what I mean, massively different tones. Also "Paints Me Red" is one that is closer in line with the feel of Bloody Angel. Also "The Eagle is Landed" is super fun and catchy. Thanks for reading and hope it helps!
I was wicked late to this party. The Grannies started building my interest in them, plus radio play of their new songs. But the clincher was the local Rock radio station gave me tickets when they came around. I knew a few songs, my wife almost nothing, but (clearly) they were SO GOOD!! We're fully on board now! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
So I was in the middle of the mosh throughout their set and it was so god damn wild, everyone their was having a blast. Was so worth it to travel to Poland from the UK to see them
I just remembered when rewatching this that my old friend Tilde does lights for Avatar and Kreator since 2019, awesome person! I belive shes tied to the Avatar crew these last two years
Great reaction Tank! AVATAR is awesome live! Hail to the Apocalypse live in Wacken 2015 is a banger also Let it burn from the same show or Get in line the riffs on those songs are heavy as 💩 I hope to seen more AVATAR on your channel 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Lol I subbed from this reaction. Avatar is one of the most underrated bands. Their "cinematic" vids are just as good as their live performances. They put on a great show either way.
I saw them open up for lacuna coil and Sevendust years ago. It was their first American tour and I’d never heard of them. Johannes came out and sang the first song in an executioners outfit. Even sang with the hood on. It was nuts. So awesome.
Thank you for checking out Avatar!! They are one of my favorite bands ever, amazing live shows, funny and most down to earth people you'll ever meet ❤️🖤! Their videos are funny and scary at the same time but when it comes to Avatar, live is always better. Would recommend Hail the Apocalypse (Wacken) and Let it Burn, but any Avatar is good Avatar 🤘!!

We LOVE Avatar!!! This was our first reaction too! Be prepared to watch more and be amazed!
MUST SEE: Let it Burn (Live from Sticky Fingers) and Hail the Apocalypse (Live at Wacken 2015).
Oh man, Sticky Fingers. What a great, intimate venue. Thanks for the heads up!
Saw your reaction to "Hail the apocalypse"..... the "Oh I love this people" comment was to die for... :)
@@TwoRockingGrannies : And You all should react to Avatar - Torn apart (mayby the best song live) 😁👊🏼
Love you grannies ❤
Oddly enough (to me) not a single person in the comments recommends "Eagle has landed" or "Smells like a freakshow". The first has a chorus that WILL BE stuck in your head for... Well it hasnt left so far
Ladies and gentlemen!
Yes!!! Both of those songs are absolutely amazing!
I am as I was as I will be

And Smells like a freakshow is one of the best examples of the best album from Avatar, althoug I maybe would go with "Let it burn". But amazing picks for sure!
Yes🤘 eagle has landed🤘
You immediately need to do more Avatar and you are correct by keeping it at a live performance.
Hail the Apocalypse
Perfect headbanging song!
The Wacken show from 2015 🤟
My favorite Avatar song
@@korveboa YESSS
WE ARE FORGIVEN
Indeed: Hail the Apocalypse from the Wacken show
yes, yes, yes
No, too soft.
@@TheCityProd Hail the Apocalypse is not a soft song, what are you talking about? It's not the heaviest, but it's not soft. Also, it's groovy as fuck so who cares?
Definitely this one. Showmanship on display
That love performance was better than on the album. Truly shows how great of a band they are.
The vocalist, Johannes, has such great stage presence. He's actually a shy dude off stage, but once he gets on stage, he controls the crowd. Their shows are always great fun.

i was drunk with Johaness :D :D in Masters of Rock 2018
My first Avatar song was “Let It Burn”. It came on randomly on Spotify one day and I’ve been hooked since. “Hail the Apocalypse”, “The Eagle Has Landed”, “...Avatar Country” and a to. of other songs are great introductory songs that all have different sounds.
Me too! So random and was hooked instantly
Have you checked out Hunter Gatherer yet? I just found out about it a couple of days ago, while it's already been out since August. And there's 2 Corey Taylor cameos!
That high scream into a growl, sends chills down my spine. lol
Yeah, this or Hail the Apocalypse are very solid first listens. One heck of a band, man.
And chimp in the mosh pit
Avatar: let it burn, live at sticky fingers. It's like the first thing that comes up when you surch the song. It is the best thing they ever did.
Smells like a freak show is one of the greatest. But every song on every album is good to it's own degree.
They’re currently doing Avatar Ages: four individual concerts throughout January and each is based off one of the bands phases or eras. I didn’t think it would be this good because it’s through a computer, but they put so much thought into crafting each stage, changing consumes, using LED screen backgrounds and the sets are fan voted. Their showmanship is really being highlighted through all of this right now
Ages was amazing! They put on such great shows, even without the live audience. I'm feeling the need for Avatarch now Avataruary is over!
I've seen some spectacular shows - Maiden, Rammstein, TSO etc. I've never had more fun or been more entertained than by Avatar in Toronto a couple of nights ago.
Avatar- let it burn (live), Get in line (live)....EVERYTHING by them (LIVE)
Like I said in the chat, Avatar is one of the best live bands at the moment (at least in my opinion).
If you want an even heavier song, try "Hail the Apocalypse" live from Wacken. For a somewhat different song try "Puppet Show" from the same festival like "Bloody Angel" (it even has a solo with an instrument I bet you won't guess in advance ;))
Puppet show is a great recommendation! Forgot about that song all together I'm ashamed to say.. Gonna listen it right now :)
Avatar shows never get old. Love every one of them. They are the only band that makes concept albums that I enjoy. Super creative. And killer musicians.
"The King Welcomes You To Avatar Country" from same show ;)
his vocals are crazy on that one :D

You just made my day! Discovered them last year, can’t stop listening to them! They’re definitely a live band but they have great videos too.
They are a very ecclectic band, so you may not be prepared for every songs (hopefully you will)
For the next one maybe do an official video, because the other released videos of this show are not the best songs but still cool
Hail the apocalypse

Hail the Apocalypse, torn apart, and Statue of the king! I discovered Avatar a few years ago and they immediately became one of my favorites.
Avatar has easily become my favorite band, my wife and sons as well. We just saw them at the “House of Blues” in Chicago for the “Dance Devil Dance” tour and they killed it. I’m constantly shocked that they aren’t more well known amongst the Metal community.
Thank you so much for exposing me to this awesome band!!!!!
One of my favourite YT reactors making a video about one of my favourite bands performing live at the best festival in my country?? I must be dreaming!! Thank you!!

My man! You have got to check out Avatar again
The mother of vocalist Johannes is from Gelsenkirchen (Germany) and he speaks German quite well and his interaction with the crowd at the Summerbreeze was just hilarious
Check out the Gothenburg band MUSTASCH, Double nature...
I rather like "I hunt alone" or "down in black" better :) but yeh, mustasch kick gothenburg metal ass :D
Personally, I like their studio stuff every bit as much as their live. The crunch really comes out on the studio versions, IMHO. Bloody Angel is my fav of theirs, so it was great to see your breakdown.
The videos made by Avatar are on a whole different level as well. No matter what you check out, you won't go wrong with these guys.
Love this band
Hail the apocalypse, the eagle has landed, hell... Any of it. Like orbit culture, these guys do not disappoint
Hey Tank. Its already 2023, i think we all are ready for new Avatar reaction, are you? :)
I went to an Avatar concert when the album "Avatar Country" came out, and they are stupid good in person especially in a smaller place like where I live, they interacted with the crowd a lot and the whole time they just kept delivering on every song, def my fav band
Saw these live a couple years ago. BEST.GIG.EVER. Hoping to see them again next year
Avatar is fkn awesome live. I love everything about them....... Recently overshadowed for me by Jinjer, but I would go see avatar anytime, anywhere, for almost any price. They're amazing.
The fact that we got we got the most unique and the most powerful bands ever in sweden, that made me proud to be Swedish.
And i'm playing on a Ibanez Iron Label RGIR20E and i love that guitar. 😍
YES! Avatar is one of my favorite bands. They KICK ASS live. Its hard to choose, but this song and Hail the Apocalypse are probably my favorite songs. The Eagle Has Landed is also good for first introductions
"Silence in the age of apes" by them...it's from their last album!!! Total BANGER!!!
I seen them live in Sept and they fucking killed it. First time seeing them and I was completely blown away. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Why haven't I listen to them before??? I am obsessed, my new favorite band.
I just saw them on the current tour last week. Top ten shows of all time. They just keep getting better AND the state performance is awesome.
I saw Avatar locally several years ago and was pleasantly suprised by their show.
I'm quite sure I've been requesting Avatar for longer than 2 months but you're totally forgiven! You did this one just when they announced some live streams so... bad day fixed!

I'd go with Smells Like a Freakshow or Hail the Apocalypse @ Wacken next but you just can't go wrong with anything from them (fangirling intensifies)
PS: they even have a "movie"!!
I hear you saying „more Avatar“ but I don't see more Avatar on your channel. 😅
They really got me with Queen of Blades.
I just thought the same
Im still watching this reaction , i love it ! 💯🇳🇴👌🏼🤗
Hail the apocalypse or A secret door, but there are so many to choose from! Greetings from Sweden!

Avatar has very wellproduced videos. Bloody Angel tells quite the story... I'd watch both, the songs with musicvideos adds to the experience :)

Also, I just realised it has been over a year since my last Avatar concert. But they announced a couple of live stream shows for January so that's something.
I bought the full ticket pack to all 4 shows :)
@@joelblom1388 Same :D
Awsome :) Torn Apart is a really cool music video, It´s like played backwards, Really cool. Avatar is one of my fav band, They´re so awsome. Im so hyped over the fact that you finally gave them a chance :) You´re awsome, Love your videos bro...
I heard them first live and based on the strength of that one performance I grabbed two t-shirts and an album. They have some kick-ass music videos too though. One of the things I love about the band is how varied their music can get. I'd recommend listening to Smells like a Feak Show, Avatar Country, Napalm, A Statue of The King and A Secret Door. If you want to watch a video, you're going to love all the callouts to other great metal bands in Avatar Country.
I LOVE AVATAR SO FREAKING MUCH
Saw these guys in Houston when they opened for FFDP. My initial reaction was the same as yours. Thought they were going to be a joke, then they started playing. They made a fan for life that night. Hail the Apocalypse or Smells like a Freak Show should be next.
YES!!!! Been waiting eagerly since your tweet and you deliveeereed! 👏
Great Show Great Band and Tank is great too 🤘🤘🤘
Saw them live with 5FDP and In Flames in Shreveport back in 2015. They were touring their "Hail The Apocalypse" album. It was an unexpected surprise. Dove in and love them since.
Thank you for that great reaction! I discovered a very interesting band!
Avatar rocks, great video. My favorite song by them is Let It Burn!
Also, I would give the advice not to worry about your judgement earlier in life. Our time is limited. We can't watch every movie or show, play every game, hear every song. Making snap thoughts and judgements only makes you human. We all do it. We need reasons not to try and taste absolutely everything, because that's impossible, and trying to do so would drive you insane.
Bro! Music Videos are SICK!!! So much genious goes to avatar in music videos! They're heroes.
Amazing!!! This brought me right back to seeing them at Sonic Temple! Omggg how i miss going to shows!
OH YES FINALLY !!! Love it loved it always gonna love it!
Huge Avatar fan here, and it has brought me to your channel. I gotta say I absolutely love your energy and reactions and your insight on what is going on. The Tank facts, the still shots accompanying your explanations. Love it. Well done man, will be checking out more of your stuff.
As you can tell from other comments, "Hail the Apocalypse" is their huge breakout song and it's obvious to see why once you hear it. Other fantastic choices include, "Smells like a Freak Show" but I love the album version much more than the video version. Check both and you'll see what I mean, massively different tones. Also "Paints Me Red" is one that is closer in line with the feel of Bloody Angel. Also "The Eagle is Landed" is super fun and catchy. Thanks for reading and hope it helps!
Thanks a ton, man! Can’t wait to check out more!
Another thing about their set. I loved the Avatar sign. It really smacked of the KISS sign. Just light bulbs flashing, but SO perfect.
First time seeing your videos. Instant Subscribe!! I fell in LOVE with Avatar last year and can't get enough!!
Thank you!
I have seen them 3-4 times, every time they are absolute great, their singer is an absolute beast!
And you definitely should try Statue of the King
I was wicked late to this party. The Grannies started building my interest in them, plus radio play of their new songs. But the clincher was the local Rock radio station gave me tickets when they came around. I knew a few songs, my wife almost nothing, but (clearly) they were SO GOOD!! We're fully on board now! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
That was awesome!!! Loved it so much I went and bought the song. Live in Paris. Done. Now ready to rock out while food prepping.
Thanks. Great music, fun to watch. The changes from heavy to gentle is cool. It all seems to fit.
So I was in the middle of the mosh throughout their set and it was so god damn wild, everyone their was having a blast. Was so worth it to travel to Poland from the UK to see them
The videos for the eagle has landed and statue of the king is outstanding. Next live video is obvious.. Hail the acopalypse.. (With subtitles)
Avatar is awesome! seen them live 3 times, last time last week in Gothenburg...absolute awesome band!
I just remembered when rewatching this that my old friend Tilde does lights for Avatar and Kreator since 2019, awesome person! I belive shes tied to the Avatar crew these last two years
Holy shit, I need more ASAP, that rocked
Great reaction Tank! AVATAR is awesome live! Hail to the Apocalypse live in Wacken 2015 is a banger also Let it burn from the same show or Get in line the riffs on those songs are heavy as 💩 I hope to seen more AVATAR on your channel 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Lol I subbed from this reaction. Avatar is one of the most underrated bands. Their "cinematic" vids are just as good as their live performances. They put on a great show either way.
Thanks a lot, man!
I saw them open up for lacuna coil and Sevendust years ago. It was their first American tour and I’d never heard of them. Johannes came out and sang the first song in an executioners outfit. Even sang with the hood on. It was nuts. So awesome.
I love Avatar... Nice to see you react to them... 🤘🏻
Thank you for checking out Avatar!! They are one of my favorite bands ever, amazing live shows, funny and most down to earth people you'll ever meet ❤️🖤! Their videos are funny and scary at the same time but when it comes to Avatar, live is always better. Would recommend Hail the Apocalypse (Wacken) and Let it Burn, but any Avatar is good Avatar 🤘!!
