I See Fire is one of the most metal non metal songs out there, because pretty much every metalhead who is a Tolkien fan knows it and likes it, haha.

What i love about the german metal scene is, that it seems they all know each other and somewhat like each other. It is not uncommon for bands during a festival join othere bands for a song or two and sing it together. Even in projects you see some artists popping up in coops with other bands. I dont know if this is only in the german scene, but here i noticed the most and i think it is incredible.

@@senditkevin well, it's pretty much a Schlager Song. But if you can overlook that fact, it's quite nice. 😅

The tips of the firedancers fans are usually made of a tight kevlar wrap that is drenched in smokeless lampoil or liquid grill lighter. Can keep burning up to about 10-15 minutes. Just some "hightech" torches, really. Btw. Shylmagoghnar - Transicense... you`ll not regret it...

I found this channel propably due to watching other Feuerschwanz stuff on KZread. But I dig the reaction style, with not only seeing enjoyment in music, but having background information that is researched, that I frankly don't know too much about. Now, to the topic of this band. Spoiler: I am german and I love the band. I still feel like they are underrated, although the last album certainly did pretty well. And it kinda speaks volumes about the quality of stuff they produce if you already love them, since they are very good musicians. They certainly evolved over the years, but considering one factor alot of fans propably also like about them (at least I do), is the songtexts. Alot of them are just fun. And thats an important thing to me, if I watch a movie, show, or listen to music, I mostly want to have a good time. And they not only produce great music, but also have texts that are often just fun, entertaining stuff. (Thats one different to Saltatio Mortis. I also quite like them, but they have songs with clear political undertone. And more often than not, I just don't want to think about that stuff if I want to relax with some music. So I prefer their songs that are just entertaining and fun as well). Feuerschwanz also has some songs with wordplay, which for me is also pretty damn funny. You already said that you feel like they like to enjoy themselfs, and the music clearly shows it. They also said that if they do a new album they just think about what they want to do. And so far, I think the results speak for themselfs.

This was an awesome live performance. Both Ben and Angus have incredible voices!

I get chills every time I listen to this rendition of the song; everything just works SO WELL! It's a damn shame that Thomas is no longer a member of Gloryhammer... He has an incredible one-of-a-kind voice and the band definitely won't be the same without him.

Yes!! You totally made my day, I love this cover.

This is the first time I've heard of Feuerschwanz and I'm absolutely glad that I did. I listen to a LOT of German metal and folk bands, mostly of the extra grit and growl to their voices when they sing. But still, I'm definitely going to look them up on Spotify and add their music because this is epic!!

Hadn’t heard this cover but damn did I love it and need to listen at least 100 times more. It’s so good

Thanks to you for another great reaction video, Tank! Feuerschwanz are one of my Top 10 bands. I've seen them live in 2018, which I did enjoy very much!

Every time I think I saw all of your Feuerschwanz videos, a new one pops up^^ And damn, their cover of "I See Fire" is already a masterpiece, and on a whole nother level than the original, but this live version with Angus/Thomas is even better. 🤘 Also, glad we agree on Ben's voice. He has quickly become one of my favorite vocalists, and I am SO excited to see/hear him in less than two weeks with his other band, dArtagnan, at a local medieval event. And that's really just the start of the season, I WILL see Feuerschwanz this year as well, one way or another😁 PS: I just sent the original video and this reaction to my bass-playing friend , thought he'd have fun seeing you nerd out about my favorite band and their gear. And he's playing a Squier Affinity P-Bass, which looks a lot like the one on your wall, on the left. Is yours an Affinity as well?

So, so sad about the split between Thomas and Gloryhammer. Hoping both go on to even greater heights, but I think Gloryhammer lost part of their soul yesterday. And on a happier note, day 14 of asking for a reaction to Thundergod!

Hey Tank, Some guys and I mentioned it before when we commented your reactions of Feuerschwanz's Songs. Please react to Bens other band dArtagnan, too. It's less Metal but more Medieval-Folk mixed with a slight amount of German Schlager but you'll enjoy it. To get into the Band I would recommend Wallenstein or C'est la vie or Feste Feiern If you want more Schlager vibes you schould listen to In jener Nacht or Farewell feat. Patti Gurdy And the main attraction definetly is Kaufmann und Maid with what I would call the German Medieval Folk Allstars (You'll recognize most of 'em). The song was initiated for comedy reasons by the German Pop singer Sasha (you might know him from his Hypa Hxpa Version) for a German TV show.

Who would expect that a band like that would cover ed sheeran? i do..honestly, i wouldnt be suprised if Feuerschwanz would cover the teletubbies. I mean, there known for coming up with funny things XD

I'm a little late here, but i highly recommend watching Feuerschwanz' live program, they played at M'era Luna. It's avaiable at KZread filmed by arte. Have been in the crowd and it was amazing seeing them play live after a while.

Well. Thanks for putting it in my head, now I wanna hear Hansi sing it :( :D great reaction. Hope you'll look into Feuerschwanz some more :) and maybe some more Blind Guardian, too? Edit: spelling.

Yay, more Feuerschwanz. 😊 This is an amwesome cover of a really good song! Might even like it more than the original tbh. I'm not too much into Ed Sheeran but Castle on the Hill is my go to driving home song... 😅 Also I have been listening to that Caskades album ever since your reaction to them. Great stuff! Best I've heard in a while. So ... thanks!!

I kinda hate how good the covers turned out to be. Because we are missing out on the original songs from the album, which are just as great. 😅 Of course Tank might have listened to those on his own time.

I’d love to see you react to a live version of Saltatio Mortis’ Prometheus. I love the song and I’ve been in the first couple rows where you can really feel the pyrotechnics. Use the one from Provocatio, because it’s in the dark.

watching once again.... still think this is rad!

I'm so glad you did your research on firedancers! A couple years back I was wanting to get into it but just didn't have the time to dedicate, or more importantly a safe space to practice. Something that I noticed, that - I mean maybe I'm wrong, I _hope_ I'm wrong - that feels a bit off, it feels like they don't have as much passion in the song as I was expecting. It's almost like not having a live audience just dampens their enthusiasm. And I'm not doubting at all that they're giving their all in this performance, but even in the Olympics it's been proven that people who are used to having that extra motivation of a crowd they can see and hear, that without that live audience or interaction they just do not perform as well as they might when they do have a live audience. I mean no disrespect, and it's definitely still an outstanding performance, and I hope I'm wrong. That's just something I felt like I was noticing in their body language and energy levels. Enjoyed the "hoots!" at the end, though based on the comments in this video that does hit different. - Jamie

There are some extras on the Blurays/DVDs of their new live album, and they say that it is indeed very weird performing on stage without an audience. But they also say that they coped with it better in this (their second) online concert than in their first one from the summer of 2020. (The first online concert, which was crowd-funded, is still up on the Napalm Records KZread channel if anyone is interested, ca. 150 minutes total length, about 90 of that is the actual concert; the rest is a countdown at the beginning and some footage at the end so viewers of the premiere could chat with the band. That concert is also on the Blurays and DVDs.)

Found out today that this band comes from basically around the corner for me and that one of the founding members (not with them anymore though) is the violinist of Fiddler's Green. Was waiting for this reaction since the day I found your comment on the video. Got my copy of the 5 disc version last week and took the time to watch the full thing last weekend. Worth it. :)

Fire fans actually use kerosene and they are soaking the ends that burn like a wick so it lasts a while but still doesn't burn hot enough so they can do things like fire eating. I used to help a friend of mine with setup for her shows with the fans and wicks for fire dancing/eating.

New Drummer is Rolf Hering (from Megaherz)

Quick suggestion: If you would (for whatever reason) choose to react to "Alex" from Feuerschwanz, really, really, really check out the original by "Die Toten Hosen". I consider that song to be the best german Punk Rock song ever made. And although Feuerschwanz did a decent job on that cover I think they couldn't reach the original.

I think you would really dig the band Grimner. Especially their song "Eldhjarta." To my knowledge they are not very well known but one of my favorite folk metal bands!
