Beyond wild to me that something I started out of boredom during the pandemic has actually turned into something. Thank you to every single person that has watched one of my videos and/or subscribed!
Who woulda ever thought that when I started doing content just over a year ago that THIS would have happened? Thank you to everyone that has supported me along the way, and also to the wonderful community we’ve built around all of this! This is yours as much as it is mine.
Hey all. Thank you for your concerns. We‘re all safe and sound at home. Tornado came through our neighborhood but we sheltered and were fine. Bit of damage around here but we had minimal at our home. Power was out for a few hours but just now came back on. 🤘
Like my buddy
@ChaseCarneson
, I have also heard
@MarkoHietala_
has left Nightwish, and I will not be talking about it any further after this post. He asked for privacy, and I’ll respect that. I know fans are devastated, but this is about HIM, not US, and I wish him all the best.
Didn’t believe a word of what
@reynlord
said about bands tracking kicks. Over the last 48 hours I’ve done so much research and talked to so many people, and have been told by reliable sources of at least 3 pretty well known metal bands that have or are doing this. 🤯
Not liking a band/artist doesn’t make you an asshole. But letting everyone know how much you dislike them at every chance you get? That makes you an asshole.
Today at 12:30pm EST (18:30 CEST), I check out the latest music video from
@blackveilbrides
. Interestingly enough, my old band played shows with them about 14 years ago, but I never really kept up with their music... Until now.
Over 1,000 people watched me act like a child over the new
@KalleKoschinsky
and
@EskimoCallboy
song. These are the days that make this stuff so damn fun. Thank you for your time, everyone!
Hey, remember like 2 months ago when I said Jukka Koskinen would make sense as the new session bassist for
@NightwishBand
and a bunch of you said "no way"? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Thank you EVERYONE for the well wishes and all of the positivity over the last day. Thing are obviously hectic and we’re very busy, and while I may not get back to comments now, I just want you all to know how much Claire and I appreciate everything!

Wow. This was a Tweet that I never expected to see, but I can‘t thank you enough. Discovering and sharing your music with other people is an absolute joy, especially to see how it effects people in different ways. YOU guys are the MVP‘s, we just dropped in for an assist.
@NightwishBand
For my first time seeing Nightwish live, I thought this was fantastic. Definitely different from show with a live crowd, but seeing the band play together was amazing.
It's kind of a shame that there are bands and artists out there who are 100% supportive of YouTube reactors, but are on labels that still will not work with and cooperate with content creators. There are TONS of labels that are willing, but some are still stuck in the stone age.
Alright friends, my very first tour vlog from the current EU tour with Electric Callboy is now live on YouTube! There's a ton of behind the stage and behind the scenes footage with this, and I hope you enjoy it! More to come!
I Just booked a guest on an upcoming episode of the podcast that teenage me would have absolutely lost his mind over. 🤯 Crazy how working in the music industry has brought a lot of my life full circle.
Back home from the
@ElectricCallboy
tour, and in this video we're gonna talk about how they are undoubtably the nicest band/crew I've ever worked with. Premiere starts at 12:30pm EDT (18:30 CEST)!
Just a heads up to other YouTubers and reactors... Using video from any kind of paid live stream is always a terrible idea for multiple reasons, but here’s the only reason you need. Don’t risk it. It’s not worth the extra views.
Rest In Peace, Alexi Laiho.
Alexi's music with Children of Bodom had a massive impact on me starting in my teenage years, and they were one of the bands that opened me up to European metal for the first time.
Thank you for your contribution to music. 🙏
Not really a good look for
@FearlessRecords
to have whoever runs their YouTube account commenting on a bunch of reactors' channels telling them to check out one of their band's songs, and then having their copyright settings set up to worldwide block their videos.
Unfortunately, today’s reaction stream on Twitch is going to be cancelled. We got hit with a nasty winter storm, and over the last 48 hours have had -20F (-29C) degree temperatures and snow, and the power companies are doing rolling blackouts and we also have no internet. 🤷♂️
Hey friends! Ingrid has her first ear infection and is not having a good time with it, so I'm taking the day off from content and won't be posting anything today, even though I normally do. Just wanted to wish you all a great day, and hope you have a wonderful Monday!
(1/2) Hey everyone! Just an update. Claire and I are fine in Nashville. The bomb that went off downtown was about 5 miles from us and we’re safe, and luckily at this time, there are no serious injuries.
Just got my Silver Play Button from YouTube, and at the request of a lot of the community, I’m gonna wait to open it until tomorrow’s Twitch stream! Hope to see ya there!
"I had 20 cents..."
2-Part interview with the one and only
@NikNocturnal
coming to my YouTube channel soon. We talked about so much random but awesome stuff, and I couldn't have enjoyed his company any more. Excited for you guys to check this out!
After months of working out schedules and finding a time to do this, Nico and Kevin of
@EskimoCallboy
finally joins me on my channel for a ton of laughs and one of the most laid back interviews I've had to date.
I've never been one to hide the fact that I'm sober, but I finally sat down to tell a lot of my story to anyone that cares to watch, embarrassing aspects and all. This is probably my most open and vulnerable video, so take from it whatever you will.
Just got done watching the most real and emotional reaction to music that I’ve ever seen anyone do. Love you,
@ChaseCarneson
. You’re a fucking legend.
FIRST REACTION to MARKO HIETALA (Voice Of My Father) Love you Dad ♥💔
Never thought a song from a German artist would be so relatable for a 90's American Kid! Today we check out the latest from
@KalleKoschinsky
, featuring Nico Sallach from
@ElectricCallboy
! Premiere starts at 12:30 EDT (18:30 CEST).
Hey friends. Taking a day off from streaming today because I’m feeling super under the weather and am going to just rest up. Hope you all have a good day!
Hey friends, due to the severe weather (tornados, hail, storms, etc) in our area right now, I won’t be streaming today, but will be tomorrow to make up for it. Hope you all have a good day, and I’ll see ya soon!
Content Creators and some news outlets are all applauding
@Metallica
for allowing people to do reactions to their new video with no copyright claims/video restrictions... And here I am with a copyright claim on it. 😂
On March 4, Sabaton releases a new album, and I release the first episode of my new podcast series, “The Back Lounge Podcast”, featuring Sabaton drummer Hannes Van Dahl! Episodes will be on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, and Google!
Brand new VLOG is out now! This one gives you a POV look from our most recent show in Basel, Switzerland, which I thought was one of the best shows of the tour so far. Hope you enjoy!
Hey friends. Gonna take the day off from streaming on Twitch today. Heading into the city to visit a bunch of friends that are in the Kim Petras tour and want some time to hang with the family before I do so. May throw in a quick stream tomorrow, though! Have a good day!
The day has finally come.
After 15 weeks of listening to Nightwish, learning their history, and doing extensive research on the song, I finally sit down and experience "The Poet & The Pendulum"...

This Warwick Thumb BO was my first “high-end” bass that my Dad bought me in 2005. I used it exclusively until about 2009, and haven’t touched it since. Today, I’m starting an overhaul on it to get it back to pristine playing condition. 🤘
After 19 previous weeks of experiencing Nightwish, it's finally time to check out The Greatest Show On Earth...
As my buddy
@ChaseCarneson
would say: "pack a lunch". We're in for a ride.

I still plan on streaming in Twitch today, but I’ll be a little late. Claire and I are at the doctor’s office to hopefully find out when our little one is gonna be coming!
"This next song is called 'Boobs and Beers'"...
Episode 3 of The Back Lounge Podcast, featuring Sabaton vocalist Joakim Brodén, coming to YouTube and streaming services on April 1, 2022.
Brand new roadie vlog from the Tekkno Tour in Vienna, Austria is up now! You guys asked for even longer ones, so this one is packed with more interactions with the crew and band, as well as some more hysterical behind the scenes moments!
THANK YOU TO THE BEST COMMUNITY I COULD EVER ASK FOR! During my birthday stream today, we raised over $3,100 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, all thanks to you guys!!!
On December 30,
@LordOfTheLost
dropped a full studio album with no announcement, no pre-sales, no music videos, and no marketing...
That album hit
#1
in Germany after a week.
Old school tactics still work. I want to see more of this in 2023.
On today's Twitch stream, this community really blew me away again, as it often does. After mentioning that I'll be back out on tour later this year, a bunch of people basically started donating for a "Touring Content Setup"... (1/3)
As we wrap up the month of October, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for an awesome month. Partnered on Twitch, hit 100k subs on YouTube, and just have a great time with an absolutely wonderful community of people! I appreciate all of you!
Just finished an interview with Adam De Micco from
@LornaShore
that I hope to have up on the channel next week. Not only was it one of the most honest and open conversations I've ever had for the channel, but Adam is a wonderful human being. Can't wait for you all to see it!
@NashSevereWx
😂😂😂 I’ve been waiting for a tweet like this for so long. Some of the questions on here lately have been ridiculous. I mean, I get people are worried, but most of you are grown adults. Figure if out.
(2/2) However the blast knocked out ATT in most of the middle Tennessee area, and our internet and my cell phone service is completely out and we don’t know when it’ll be back. Don’t know when I’ll be back online, but I appreciate everyone checking in!
People have been trying to make a villain out of
@RonnieRadke
for years, and now it looks like you've finally got your villain. We kick off the week by checking out the latest from
@FIROfficial
! Premiere starts at 12:30pm EST (18:30 CET)!
Hey friends! Because I was at the Sabaton show all day yesterday, there’s a ton of stuff I need to help out with and get done around the house, so today’s stream will be moving to tomorrow at the same time! 🤘
Brothers, heroes, foes! Don't miss the double reaction Tank The Tech did of our song "No Bullets Fly"!
First he analyzed the lyric video and afterwards the animated video, that was made in collaboration with Yarn Hub. And he seemed to enjoy them both..
Just got Partnered on Twitch (same day as
@G_duckets
, too), and can't thank you guys enough! What a community we've built up here, and I couldn't have done it without you guys!
