ABSOLUTLY AMAZING! Leprous "Slave" Live at Rockafeller 

leprous is always so incredibly moving and emotional

You're a good dude... i really appreciate your rant, because im there with that guy who called in, Im nearly 40, and im quickly realizing how much I've wasted my life and how much i have struggled just to survive. If you can't lift someone up, dont be the reason they fall further.

Im still waiting for castaway angels, distante bells and below... U'll be blown away with that emotional songs

You're a good guy, Tommy and you are absolutely right. Some people don't know how to look outside of themselves. I'm sorry one of those has such a platform. As for the song, that singer's voice is marvelous. It is so different.

Einar's voice is raw. It's filled with emotion and pain. This is why Leprous resonates so much with me, and others here. I held off on Leprous for years. I was being stubborn, and frankly I was being a Prog Snob, refusing to go down the rabbit hole. It took a great fall, a surreal moment of life standing on the threshold, that I picked up Leprous, gave them a chance and have been amongst their most dedicated fans since.

Thank you for your consideration of others (much more of that energy is needed in the world and more voices need to speak up to make sure it's heard). And thanks for the Leprous reaction, I've been lucky enough to catch them a few times live and you hit the nail on the head Einar is so emotive it's hard not to get lost in the empathic connection.

This guy has an amazing and powerful voice! Impressive! Regarding the RU-vid bully, I can't imagine how this poor guy felt when he heard this degrading public humiliation. Hearing words like those, especially when you're down, leaves scars for life. It's unforgivable.

Those screams are so "Burzum" ... that's perfect.

Love this song. The vocal ia amazing thank you.. we are here for achieving the best for the greatest number of people....thank you so much😊

I am looking forward to the interviews, Tommy. Have a good vacation brother,you deserve it for sure. This was a cool track,the vocalist can really sing!

Last Friday was day of fighting with depression so I'm really grateful for this intro. I had burnout few months ago but I did some work and (hopefully) I solved my problem (by myself). Fortunately your positive personality can help other people. I love this band. Einar's voice always moved me. Thank you and your patreons to bring Leprous onto channel. Take care abouts yourself, do breaks when you feel overwhelmed. Your health is more important than channel. Stay safe, and remember you're not alone.

True words. We've all got to have each others back and lift ourselves up. Only the second Leprous track I've heard.....loved it! Thank you 🙂

Heya, I was planning to comment anyway cause I'm always happy if someone reacts to one of my favourite bands that is Leprous. But after how you started the video I knew I HAD to comment. I'm 38, and I've realized in my life that I do like harmony. For the longest time I didn't worry about my life, about purpose, I just lived. I really felt motivated though to always help anyone who struggles. And when I eventually went down a dark path myself I felt for the first time how difficult it is to escape from that. As you said, music has the power to change that, it has so much power to give me feelings that are beyond explanation. But I also felt greatful for the friends I made along the way. And despite many negative news we get to deal with on a daily basis, sticking to the ideal that we're all alike, and that I can do my best to brighten as many peoples days as I can, no matter if they're close friends or unknown to me, that's for me a strong motivation to keep my head up and thrive. It's very fitting that you mentioned this on a video about Leprous, where you praise Einars vocals, as so many have done before, me included (being a vocalist myself). Because he has said to be dealing with Depression himself. Their album "Pitfalls" was based around his experiences with expression. And while it's overall mostly softer, it has songs that are really amazing and show the full potential of his voice. "At the bottom" and "The sky is red" are two really unique examples, showing different facettes of his singing and also his feelings. He's also thematized this in the lyrics of their latest album "Aphelion", and I was able to really connect to the lyrics. He's inspiring so many of us I'm sure, and I'm grateful for it. The music is strong already but him being open about his life makes it even more person and motivational. But as much as I'd like to thank him, I also want go mention that I'm so happy I've watched this video on your channel today. Cause people like you are what keeps humanity human. Cause you understood what we all need, cause you're not afraid to speak out and tell people that there are bigger things in life, things more important than money, success, etc. For that I want to thank you. You're making so many viewers think about these things, you're doing great work. You make the world a brighter place. And I'm happy to be able to experience it and to be able to know about it, being a continent away. Thank you so much ❤

You must check out "Below" for Einars incredible range and emotion. Great music video too.

Hell yeah, Leprous! Love this song, and this performance is out of this world! Also, absolutely agree with what you said in the intro here. It's the same kind of thing that really gets to me, as well. And take care of yourself, dude! Burnout is a terrible thing. I've still got burnout from the work I used to do at my last place of employment, which is several years ago now. That stuff can get really bad. So make sure to look out for yourself, man!

I think I saw the same clip you were talking about. Those "tough" guys, are the most alone and empty. Anyone with that lack of compassion can fff off! This band is awesome!!!!

That fill at 10:10 is sooooo damn good!

Amazing band. Carry on being the way you are. You do you. :)😉

Do not apologize for your rant. We all need to be reminded. To be kinder to people, especially those that need to be lifted up. Yeah I really love this voice, As you said , there's some kind of pain or emotion , he is able to channel through. Musically solid as well, Thanks for the reaction. ❤ and ✌️

❤

that was really good! i have been to rockefeller music hall quiet a lot. oslo is such a nice place for concerts and culture!

Dude it's sad to hear about someone abusing their status to belittle someone that's struggling. Unfortunately people eat that kind of stuff up and think it's funny ... just sad. I stuck around this channel because of the positive light that you shine, and messages I've seen from you in the comments. You're one of the good ones man! Also, I love Leprous. That is all. ♥♥

Those 2 drummers ❤ And yes, Einar has an amazing voice. You should listen to a song from Amorphis guitarists (Esa Holopainen) project album feat. Einar Solberg (Leprous ofc 😂) The project is named SilverLake, the song is "Ray of Light " And you are a really good guy, T ❤

This is my first time on your channel and I hit the subscribe button before the reaction even started. When someone has something to say because they can't get it out of their head and know its something others need to hear, too - and they use whatever platform they have to do that, that always has my respect. Thanks for that! Leprous are fantastic. I feel their music in my bones - but since I think other people will have already told you what to react to next if you wish to do so... I was just wondering, maybe especially because of the intro, if you have ever heard of Dir en grey? Dir en grey are a Japanese rock/metal/Visual Kei band that started in 1997 and who have been going since with the same line-up. They released their 11th studio album in 2022. Their music is mostly about the darker side of humanity/life but in a very judgemental free and poetic/philosophical way. The singer has one of the most versatile voices ever. The song that gets requested the most [and for good reason] is called Vinushka. They are a live band so I would recommend the ANDROGYNOUS live version of the song if you haven't heard it yet and decided to do this some day [look out for Kaya's channel. She does english translations for Dir en grey and uses high quality videos]. The song is a bit of a roller coaster and I would probably suggest something else but this will give you a very good first impression and I know fans love reactions to this song and version :) I hope you manage to take it slow the next weeks and you can fully enjoy your time off! All the best~

Leprous is so good. Einar (vocals) and Baard (drums) get most of the attention for obvious reasons, but Tor is a great writer, rythm guitarist and backup singer. Such a great lineup. Should check out Robin's guitar solo on The Sky is Red. So tasteful.

Castaway angels next , please

Hope your well Tommy, if you haven't already please listen to Ukrainian band IGNEA and the song Alga, you'll love it. I'm feeling down at the moment my job is shit, boss doesn't speak to me and I get left operating machinary on my own for 7-8 hours with seeing or hearing from anyone to check I'm ok. Your enthusiasm to music always puts a smile on my face, so thanks for that.

Tommy. I can only speak for myself, but I find myself coming back here (as often as I am able to) because your message is high value. I don't know which influencer you are referring to, but that is unfortunate. Shame on them, and they honestly don't deserve the attention of that brave soul who reached out for help. Rant all you want. We love it.

(last of my comment's I promise) Fun fact. I first became aware of Leprous, several years ago when I picked up the Haken album "Affinity", from 2016. This was of course just around the corner from when Leprous released their 2015 album, "The Congregation". Anyhow, on Haken's "Affinity" album, my favorite song is their prog epic, "The Architect", an almost 16 minute track which features Einar Solberg's timeless growling vocals starting around ~10:45 minutes into the song. Though it took me a while to accept Leprous, I was sold on that particular vocal capability. Let me know if you ever want some guidance on the Haken catalog.

Man, people who put people down like that are the absolute worst. Especially if they do it from their large influencer platform. I hope that people in the comments called him out for it. Anyway, first Leprous song for me - really liked it! Will definitely check out more from them😄

Great Channel man

Leprous is like Anathema with El Estepario Siberiano on the drums 😂 that's how good they are! Did you already react to Anathema? (A dying wish would be so good)

Einar is a fantastic vocalist. Should be made a national treasure. P. S. Nice shirt dude! 😍

Dude, check out aquired taste next, his voice is unbelieavable

Ok this influencer person is a toxic bully. These kind of people thrive on putting others down because it's the only way to feel good about themselves. What a wretched existence that must be. Anyway. I need to listen to more Leprous. Einar's vocals are so emotional.

Am I being deleted for something?
