I seriously think that Avatar is one of the most unterrated bands, not just from a songwriting/conceptual perspective, but also their pure musicial talent. A lot of their riffs are reeeaaally difficult and when they're playing live, they'll always add some small details to it like little harmonics, hammer-ons/pull-ofs and all that stuff, to make it even more interesting: For example that little notes that Tim plays around 1:16 aren't included in the studio version, they are just improvised. And unlike some other bands, who just shred and alternate pick with heavy distortion, they also have beautiful clean guitar parts, that really show their talent. And obviously Johannes has an incredibly powerful and versatile voice. His voice range is great and I don't know many vocalists who are that good at both clean voice and shouts/growling.
Tim has said on many occasions that some of the music Jonas comes up with takes a tremendous amount of practice due to technique. Two incredible artists
anyone judging based on their clothing is completely missing the musicianship and what this band is about. plus, avatar is a live act through and through. if you have questions, there's Google and live clips...do some research.
Sherman Smith, You are so correct on this statement you made. People are so damn quick to judge others by what they look like. The heart inside them, the twinkle in the eyes etc. If these people have negative remarks let them go somewhere else and judge.
My son just turned me onto Avatar,and the fuckin rock out,Then again I also like bands like Amon Amarth,Dimmu Borgir.So yet another Scandinavian band kicking ass and taking names is no big surprise,
Sherman Smith I would assume they are GOOD even just based on looks. Bands that have developed a distinct image like this usually are bands that really have their shit together. 👌🏻 These guys are great for many reasons. They have the full package!
Oh my gosh that head nod at the end was sooooooo sweet. Really said to me just how much time they’ve spent building their art together. Warmed my heart.
BIG respect and love for the players and the playing. Avatar is great - excellent composition and musicianship. Whoever edited this video should be fired. There is NO place in a great video like this for close up face shots unless they are shooting lasers out of their eyes.
Zero Gray, You can't expect to go pick up a guitar and start playing. It takes hours per day. Every day of hard work. I have been playing electric and acoustic 5 years now and still can't get that F chord. That's why they call if the F. chord. It's to Fricking hard to play. Just keep practicing dude. My fingers had blisters on the top and hurt all the time too. After that, they will calloused. Just be patient and don't give up. Butterfly9
I've been playing guitar since I was 4. I'm 19 now, but it does take a lot of time to play stuff like this! But when you do, you feel so good about yourself!
All you need is the wide shot. People who look up these videos want to see both of them playing, at all times. if they care about a specific part of the song played by a specific guitarist, they will simply look at that guitarist during that part. Don't cut away from the lead during an impressive part of the song (1:52 and 2:05 are early examples) The cut aways to their faces for expressions or one of their hands performing crazy inhuman movements is nice and all but it's unnecessary. Sorry, but it happens so often and so quickly into the video that I was baffled by it. TLDR; All you need is the wide shot...
This is a master piece of heavy metal. I never get tired of hearing it. There is nothing more epic to listen for motivate yourself for to try to play it.
the point of the clothes is to look like classical musicians since that was heavy on classical style themes. can clearly here Chopin, Mozart, Bach and Paganini influences. killer track, never hears of these guys before but dig the songs.
It's actually classical Swedish folk clothing, which may indeed be a throwback to classical musicians in a way. These guys are exceptionally talented musicians.
I saw Avatar live at the Blue Ridge rock festival 2021, alot of new bands use the same formula when writing, and the same tuning, Avatar stood out the most to me because they don't sound like anyone else, they are great musicians, killer hooks in their songs, they stole the show for me, totally want to see them again.
Tim & Jonas, you make those strings burn. Let It Burn. I 've listened to many bands before and you two are smoking hot. First cd, the first song I ever heard and caught me was, "The King Welcomes You To Avatar Country." The second song that sealed the deal to go out and buy them is "Hail The Apocalypse." Keep up the great work men and I will keep on buying. I love you all. Be safe out on the road. Love You Much, Butterfly9
I agree, hugely underated and incredibly talented people. I would think that anyone trying to play their stuff would have instant respect and appreciation. My favorite new band in along time. Many Thanks to you guys and much respect. Peace
I kept passing over this and a huge fan of Tim and Jonas doing playthroughs. Man what a mistake all those times were. So fun to see them play together.
Late answer bit I think who ever made this costume made a mistake. It looks like a Swedish folk inspired costume from around late 1700s to early 1800s. The knee tassels are supposed to be attached to the suspenders holding the socks in place. On the costumes in the video, they are instead sewn to the pants. On the lower part of the pants should instead be a strap with a buckle.
I love these guys, such a great overall sound and tone, and they can freakin' play. Lots of head-banging riffs, but lots of cool, prog metal type signatures, licks and solos. But they really know how to reel us in with those catchy hooks before shredding our faces off with relentless ferocity! Love this!
It's great, I've been listening to a very cool band for 1 year, there's their merch, keep up the good work, you're doing great, if you came to Russia with a concert in the city of Orenburg, I'd love to go to your concert.
You are an inspiration guys. When I play Tsar bomb, hail the apocalypse and Regret/house of eternal hunt with your videos , i feel like im jamming with you both. Its amazing, thank you !! Your harmonic are painful to get it right tho... xD
If you’re more of a beginner looking for an avatar song to learn. For the swarm has a relatively easy riff. It gets drilled into your head and it was the first avatar song I learnt.
So less views WHY? Sadly, Good rock/heavy metal music like this is dying everyday, The sweep picking starting at 04:51 was phenomenal , People want to listen to other shit and want to see naked bitches in a rap song...

These, my friends, are two guitar masters, and you can't deny it.
Thank you

Their the best... that is all :)
You're totally right!
They're certainly good at it but they are far from being the only ones to do that
You are so very right. Can NOT get enough of this band.
Totally agree!
Hands down the best guitar duo alive today.
I dig mark mortan an Willie from Lamb of God too. But your spot on these guys are phenomenal.
I always rewatch this video and can’t unsee Jonas holding his laugh when Tim misses the song start
It honestly looks like it's the first time Jonas saw Tim make a mistake haha
@@fuddyruckers3 exactly hahaha
Haha. I like Tim's reaction even more. 😊 He's in shame
Tim has said on many occasions that some of the music Jonas comes up with takes a tremendous amount of practice due to technique. Two incredible artists
Thess guys don't have one bad song on any of their albums. I fucking love these guys man.
Every day i come here to watch Tim and Jonas play ;)
Listening to them since 2013. One of the best bands for sure! Hail Avatar!
HAIL THE APOCALYPSE
Pranav Dhokre I have been listeneing to them since 2014 (I was ten)
The best live band you'll ever see PERIOD! This should have millions of views, not thousands!

Respect to our king
Oh my gosh that head nod at the end was sooooooo sweet.

Warmed my heart.
I knew Tim was awesome at solos but fuck he really went for it, awesome work Tim 💖
BIG respect and love for the players and the playing. Avatar is great - excellent composition and musicianship.

this. also, I was trying to tab this for personal use and it's so hard to do so when the shots keep flicking between guitars in the middle of phrases
finally!! happy this band is getting some exposure and recognition.
So awesome to see avatar on here :) recognizing this band is a must for such amazing musicians
One of the best guitar duo's on the planet at the moment, ridiculously technical difficulty and a style you do not hear from very many players.
Damn. They’re so in sync they never miss a note or beat. Yet they are on real level of feel and shred
That´s why I love this band, they can play from the softest to the heaviest stuff in one song.
I don't think people could ever appreciate this enough. fucking stupendous!
This just makes me sad that I'm not good at guitar
Zero Gray, You can't expect to go pick up a guitar and start playing. It takes hours per day. Every day of hard work.

No one starts out amazing! Just Keep at it 🤘🏻
Here we are, 3 years later. How have you spent the time? Practicing? Any better?
Then do something about it.
Love their style, love their clothes. One of the best band now.
Fleshgod Apocalypse are dressed like a Baroque composer but they are awesome too.
these dudes are even better live. they play this little concert venue for like 10 bucks. seen them 10 times.
I seriously could watch these 2 play for hours, such and underrated band
I love the vocals too, amazing cleans, that you hardly ever hear nowadays, plus badass screams as well, i want so bad to see them live!
Who cares what they're wearing? This is great.

7:02 that confirming nodd that they nailed it \M/ so damn awesome
the point of the clothes is to look like classical musicians since that was heavy on classical style themes. can clearly here Chopin, Mozart, Bach and Paganini influences. killer track, never hears of these guys before but dig the songs.
+Markus Lundgren ....
+Markus Lundgren Hörre du du!

Pingsteal so true
i thought they were supposed to be a marching band lol
dude on rhythm is sick too. lead rad.
One of the best metal bands you will ever see live simply amazing if they are on tour near you dont miss it!

The most underrated band ever, they're absolutely amazing
I love this two Masters ...since day one .HAIL AVATAR

4:52 - 5:09 SHOOKED
I agree, hugely underated and incredibly talented people. I would think that anyone trying to play their stuff would have instant respect and appreciation. My favorite new band in along time. Many Thanks to you guys and much respect. Peace

Tim is so talented, let alone the whole band!! And Tim and Kungen both have cool mustaches...what more do you want?
Amazing.. love this song.
They’re such bad asses! Love them so much! Best and ever
I love these guys, such a great overall sound and tone, and they can freakin' play. Lots of head-banging riffs, but lots of cool, prog metal type signatures, licks and solos. But they really know how to reel us in with those catchy hooks before shredding our faces off with relentless ferocity! Love this!
You can tell Tim is pissed a little bit about a slight few mistakes. I LOVE that he has balls like that to jam. Never stop.
Love this, is a very complete song: amazing riffage, beautiful cleans and stunning solos with harmonies!
These guys just fit so damn well together.
🤯still blows my mind .!! These guys are the most melodic guitar players today!!
Cant get tired of seeing them play, so good
The riffs this duo made.....damn damn damn!!!
As if I didn't love this band enough already! 🙌🏼

Avatar all quite literally Melodical and Lyrical Geniuses... And this is one of their masterpieces that made me realise it.
It's great, I've been listening to a very cool band for 1 year, there's their merch, keep up the good work, you're doing great, if you came to Russia with a concert in the city of Orenburg, I'd love to go to your concert.
You two are so fucking good together...I could listen to this on repeat for hours and not get tired of it. Just so much awesome to behold!! \m/
Need more of this

Last look at the emerald towers
The end has come

Incredible musical talent

Странно что так мало просмотров,а ведь они чертовски талантливы, мастерство игры просто зашкаливает.
Tim..Dime would be proud of the squeals/pinch harmonics 🤘
Soothing the demons in my head helps my migraines go away.
Best live band out there.
Fuck i'm waiting for this shit for so long, avatar is awesome.
Love this song.

Fuck. Yeah.
Avatar, here, just YES. Congrats :D

Theses guys are like A7X meets Dragonforce meets SOAD. Fucking awesome!
If you’re more of a beginner looking for an avatar song to learn. For the swarm has a relatively easy riff. It gets drilled into your head and it was the first avatar song I learnt.
the most underrated band i'v ever seen
Corey taylor said they're one of his favorites as well
The lead guitarist is pretty awesome
I like this very much.
I see squaling guitar like dimebag darrell (rip) from pantea... Love it ! Still the best... Dood job avatar !
Me ultramama la rola HoEH!!! Se pinchis rifan!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏
So less views WHY? Sadly, Good rock/heavy metal music like this is dying everyday, The sweep picking starting at 04:51 was phenomenal , People want to listen to other shit and want to see naked bitches in a rap song...
I'm glad I still feel much of the circus theme despite the king being the new theme, I love it ❤️
well now,,that was good. tight as fck.
The flourish added to 3:11 , they took perfect and improved it
Hats off to you .
This band is so under-rated
Both badasses at there craft.
amazing
