I have to say, just from an arrangement point of view, I really enjoy that with all those amazing musicians it actually feels like a Warriors of the World *United* (even though the world is just a small part of western Europe in this case, but still). But I think you get what I mean, it's not Feuerschwanz featuring the rest, it's really more of a collaboration. Plus, great utilization of each singer's strengths, Thomas goes *way* high, Alea has that fry of his, Melissa is just plain awesome Melissa, d'Artagnan and the Hauptmann sound as distinct as ever (also, cool screech), which together creates the feeling of a choir way bigger than it actually is. I like that.

Bagpipes were clearly invented in the wrong time. The music style to use them in wasn't developed until centuries later.

The good thing about the European metal scene is that even if there is not a permanent super group as you would like to see (we all would, of course), they do so many collaborations that you get many excellent pieces like this very often! So hope is not all lost!

Not a big fan of Manowar these days.. brings back crappy memories.. But this cover is f-ing amazing! Great vocalists with very distinct sounds. The bagpipe fits surprisingly well in this song. Also love the contrast Melissa is bringing.

Man, this is such an fantastic cover, making the song their own while being true to the orginal. Manowar and Warrior of the World spesificly has meaning to me since it was literally the song that made me fan of metal music so its so cool to see such an great cover of the song :D

Thomas Winkler will be featured in at least one Song on the upcoming Grailknights Album. Also Hodi/Ben is featured on that Album too and that Song is released as the current Single -> look up Grailknights - Turbo Boost But we will see what he will do next. I doubt that he will be a new full time singer for Feuerschwanz though. Than again I could be wrong. He would fit, especially with the new musical direction of Feuerschwanz (more Powermetal than Folk). As for Alea/Jörg: If you did not know he filmed in a different location, you can guess that by looking closely on the Scenes where everyone is in. Like the Walk in Scene or the Drone shots. Everyone is in it, except Alea.

You said in the intro that most meatalheads have listened to Manowar, except for me 😆. So many bands to listen to and of course i've heard their name a lot but got distracted by other bands, you know how it is. Great song and great reaction!

It is a cover that is worth to be as epic as the original. And that is an understatment.

It's incredible, how every singer is true to their very own style but together they harmonize that good. Awesome arrangement and I'm looking forward to many of the cover songs on memento mori.

The first American the pronounce "Feuerschwanz" correctly... 😂 . Very cool!👍 Greetings from Bavaria! ✌️

Hi Tank, if you want to really have your mind blown, there's not only an eGurdy but also a MidiGurdy from a "builder" in Hamburg/Germany. The whole thing is completely electronic and there are no strings and wood at all. Very interesting stuff. Have a great Christmas!

I watched your reaction mainly because I just like your channel an I love the song. But I watched the music video over and over before. So I didn't expect to get any new information. But you definitely proved me wrong there with the eGurdy and Aleas location. You really do your homework. My deepest respect!

Damn i waited so hard for you to react on this. That was basicly the only thing i wanted to see in my abobox since the release of the song. Greetings from germany my friend

Thanks for all the additional content - this is like "Tankpedia". Not just reactions - this is truly educational.

13:05 - yes. This. Exactly this!! As I already commented on the original video: I just LOVE and I MEAN Love, how everybody is just flexing in the end between the verses of the chorus. Hans with his sick guitar riffs, melissa with her beautiful clear vocals, Hodi, Thomas and Alea with their different types of screams... gives me chills every time. Absolutely adore this version just for that part alone! Edit: Just wanted to add, that I love the symbolism of choosing "warriors of the world united" as the song where they all come together. Maybe it's just me, but feels like exactly the kind of symbolism we and the artists need in these hard times. Coming and standing together and all

When speaking on this vs the original I attribute it to this. The original one is a beautifuly cooked steak with a perfect sear and all the things you need in a steak. This version is that same steak but it also has extra seasoning and a side dish. The plain steak is incredible and sometimes that's all I want but other times it's nice to have the extras. I love the original but this has sprinkles of something more and I love that too. Great reaction Tank! You're awesome.

It's really interesting to see all these bands combining metal and medieval instruments nowadays.

I love the Hurdy Gurdys made by Alex Zwingmann. He's my Hurdy Gurdy teacher and realy knows everything about the instruments. So sad I can't have one of this masterpieces right now...they are soooooo amazing.

all those smiles constantly in the videos, in the "making of" videos too, their interviews too just show how much those guys enjoy what they are doing. All of those deserve way more recognition and way more people to check what they are doing

Love your work Tank. I found you thanks to the Momento Mori livestream that you did with Feuerschwanz for their release. I love this band. Like you I discovered them during lockdown, also helped that I have been relearning German as well (goal is to move to Austria). I love all their work but they have been definitely going from strength to strength and the latest album is amazing, I find it hard to pick one favourite over another but would probably say Untot Im Drachenboot is my favourite but love all the covers as well (especially this and Blinding Lights).

As I was a young rowdy, I've had every single MANOWAR, than came 'Warriors of the world united' and I was fucked up.
