@@clinch4402 the only fail from here will be the wait :( but it will pale in comparison to how long we've actually waited... it's not like he can withdraw the album if he doesn't make enough on the crowdfunding 😆
@@thosko98 I bought Time II package because I got to know them only in 2019. And today after listened the album 5 times through bought Time II LP, Time I LP and The Forest Seasons LP
I've been watching this cover for the last seven years. I'm now starting to think that it is the closest thing to an actual studio recording that we're ever going to have
@@Hair_Force_1 Even though I know the album is coming within the next months, I'm still watching your cover. I plan on using it to learn the song and, if possible, nail it before the official studio release. The hard part for me is re-learning to pick. You can see (if you care to on my channel) that I used to pick backwards. So my right hand muscle memory is our of sync, whilst my left hand is still quite fast even after years not playing. Anyways, this song is amazing and I intend to master it before we finally get a studio release. Which leaves me probably 40 years to get it... Cheers from France! 🍻
@@DarthWinterMadness I'm glad you're still enjoying the cover! It's a beast of a song to play but once you get it down it's super fun, best of luck with getting your picking down! Cheers from the US!
Hey brothers the album is finally out, we got it! It's surreal after all this time of listening to this cover I was expecting to hear the crowd on the studio version and was surprised for a moment 😅 Dude, thanks for uploading this cover ten years ago.
@@thomasshredster4627 😂 Maybe Jari saw this comment and took it as a challenge. After 9 years of my first comment, this thread still brings a smile to my face!
OH MY GOD this has got to be one of the best covers in terms of impressiveness and quality, that I've ever seen, even without considering the fact that this is a cover of a song that hasn't been officially released, and won't be officially released for another several months. HUGE props to you, man.
"and won't be officially released for another several months." - 2 years ago :S I think this is the best wintersun song, I hope I am still alive when it gets released
Yeah, end of 2017 and he still hasn't made anymore progress since the first crowdfunding campaign. And building a studio ain't exactly gonna happen overnight. Maybe we'll have Time 2 by 2020 but definitely not before then. Hell, I think even 2020 is a stretch.
I don't think we're going to be hearing anything from Time II until 2021. The next crowdfunding should take care of the studio. That is what I think. They will tour until the end of the 2018, run the next crowdfunding sometime in 2019, put out the crowd fund album, tour with that until the end of 2020. After that, I think we will have the long awaited Time II.
Excellent! Just truly amassing! I don't think I have ever heard a complete and high quality of this song before... This awesomeness you made here just made me grow a lot more impatient in waiting for Time II !!! This one goes into my favourites!
9 years later I'm still coming back here to have a proper listen to Way of the Fire, but at least Time II is finally being released this year on 30th of August! \m/
On a literally random whim, I added "cover" to my search of "the way of the fire" since for a year I've only listened to the live version, and I can't really tell what's going on. This is incredible. It was at the 5:31 mark when I realized my hand had been hovering over the keyboard all that time. I was mesmerized! Thanks for this. I had doubts about this song, but it's as incredible as it can be.
How the mother of Lord these sections were figured out based on the recordings available of this song so far... is nothing short of an extra-terrestrial miracle considering their complexity.
Can someone explain me why there are so many dislikes? I know we can filter them, but I could not even find a comment saying what's wrong or stating a negative opinion. This sounds nearly flawless to me, the tone is great and this guy did an amazing job. Maybe because he just leaked Jari's song and our Metal God made 200+ accounts to dislike this video.
Hey Jari what did you do to your hair! Haha just kidding Dan! You did an excellent work! I'm watching and trying to catch you with my guitar. Thanks for sharing!
I was a student of Teemu's for almost 3 years so I know he's seen this, I just hope if Jari sees this he won't be turned off by me butchering his work haha
That guitar melody from 8:08 to 8:14 was so beautiful. However, I didn't hear it from other live versions except for Kai's drum version. Therefore, I wonder if this melody will be on the studio version.
This is the only consolation I have while the infernal wait for "the way of the fire" ends. PLEASE, can you upload this cover without background music? Your work in guitar is fantastic, I would like to be ecstatic with him
This is where we find ourselves. Fans love the music so much they are recording it themselves because that’s the only way to hear it (besides low quality concert bootlegs). Why won’t Jari just give us something other than crowdfunding videos!!!!!! I would happily pay for a single of “Way of the Fire.” I will not pay for more handheld footage of the band hyping exclusive handheld footage of the band hyping their various crowdfunding strategies! Please, Jari, do your job as a musician and make and release music so I can give you all my money!!! P. S. I love you, Wintersun, and will always return at the first sign of affection like a battered spouse.
They never release songs early, so I doubt they'd release The Way of the Fire before Time II comes out, plus there'd only be 3 more songs to look forward to if they did. Also, I made this cover because I love playing this song, not to make a "better sounding" version (I personally don't like the sound as much anymore, but I'm super happy with the performance and how the video turned out!). As for the Patreon, I'm a member and I dig it! I haven't heard them talk about the crowdfunding at all unless asked about it directly, but Jari has said that they're in writing mode so new music should be on the horizon! Thanks for the kind words, cheers!
Dan Barofsky Thanks! You’re a beast by the way. Are you in a band? Do you have any original stuff available? Thanks for the amazing performance. Just makes me so excited for new material from Jari. My frustration is born of love.
@@thomassparks1476 I haven't been in a band in a very long time but I do have some original material that I've made over the years, haven't thought to post any of it on youtube though, maybe I will someday once I get it to sound good haha. Thanks again for the kind words!
DUDE make a fucking collab cover of this song! You on guitars, this guy th-cam.com/video/b0s_oDe8dNI/w-d-xo.html on bass, SylarSilent on orchestrations, Bram Trommelen from this cover th-cam.com/video/_HAhVZBSTmk/w-d-xo.html on drums and some other guys from that same cover on vocals. We'll have a great version of this song way before Time 2's even halfway mixed.
Thanks! I used the guitar you see in the video to record everything (it's a custom RR-style guitar) and I used an Eleven Rack with a Mesa Dual Rectifier tone that I made (I tried to emulate the sound of Wintersun's live tone).
I wish I had anything to do with writing this masterpiece, but it's all Jari! I don't remember exactly how long it took to learn all the parts but it was a challenge for sure, and luckily I was a student of Teemu Mäntysaari at the time and he was gracious enough to show me how to play the pre-first-solo arpeggio section and the pre-second-solo lead part, the rest was just listening to the live recordings over and over and slowing them down, and now that the isolated tracks are available I'm realizing that I played a good amount of it incorrectly haha!
According to TH-cam's analytics a bunch of Russians decided they hated me back in October, got about 200 of them in one day. Guess I should practice more.
@@frozenstarlight7782 Unfortunately I don't remember the guy's name who made the body and neck, I got it back when I was 14 from an ebay seller and then bought all the other components (pickup, bridge, etc.) and put it together with the help of a local luthier.
applause! besides, what's your opinion about entering into video collaborations over at Bandhub?? I normally can record piano. You and I could get together at bandhub! It could be incredible!
Woah..! That's something incredible my friend... You've got one hell of a hearing :) And the song is amazing... I'm also doing Wintersun/Ensiferum piano covers so you can check my channel if you're interested in some atmospheric Wintersun sound :) Greetings!
can't believe we finally get to hear the studio version, but this has been the best version!

there are these kinds of dudes. My friend did almost all of Bal-Sagoth songs the same way too, by hearing.
I Bet the answer is way simpler: time travel
why so many dislikes ?? even if it's not perfect he did such an effort to learn it by ear
I think he got hit with a dislike bot, he said he got 200 in one day, all from Russia. These do not sound like legitimate dislikes.

Most likely it will be there.
Live versions of the song obscured _a lot_ of smaller details, since they weren't soundboard recordings.
