Avatar frontman Johannes Eckerström performs the bands wildy popular hit "The Dirt I'm Buried In" off their album Dance Devil Dance on ukulele. When asked why on ukulele, Johannes said, "Because I can." #AvatarMetal #DanceDevilDance
Always hard for me to mentally accept that this is the same person that's the singer for Avatar. It's like the make up transforms him into a completely separate entity on stage. Dude's got a crazy range.
I've been waiting for awhile to say this... Avatar > 100 levels down, Ghost. Tobias is talented, but Avatar's focus on music will Always put them ahead... most importantly, in my opinion.
Ive just discovered these guys, and Im fairly blown away. Amazing both sonically and visually. The singer really puts them into the stratosphere. That guy is incredible.
Had no idea who Avatar was, until I stumbled upon them crammed onto a tiny stage in Maine, and they blew my fucking head off. One of my favorites. They understand the beauty and power of heavy music.
I only discovered them almost a year ago myself and I've loved extreme metal for about 25 yrs now. Never seen anyone with a tshirt, never heard anyone mention their name... RU-vid recommended their 2015 Wacken set and all I saw was a screenshot of some dude who reminded me of Eric Draven so I HAD to hit play. Within ONE minute of Hail the Apocalypse (he hadn't even started singing!), I was thinking "Yup, I'm gonna like these guys"... sure as shit, they very quickly became my new fave band and I still can't get enough! One year later with a live show and getting to meet Johannes under my belt, I consider myself very blessed! They're on tour again so keep an eye on their official site and/or socials and if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favour and GO. They DO NOT disappoint! 🤡 💪 Johannes oozes of talent (they all do) and this rendition is just too adorable!
I just did this past year....they came to rockville 2023... And the only band to be rained out.... So I came home and put the on.... Crazy it's been 10 yrs of knowing this band.....please come to Rockville 2024
I found this last week and I can't stop listening to it. For real, at least fifteen times a day. I'm amazed at the range this man has and musical skill. bravo
I feel ,like this acoustic version ,of the Dirt I'm Buried In .is underrated. Johannes ,gave ,an emotional performance! ! 😢😢. Johannes s voice ,is powerful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*sighs*😍 That gave me chills! That is a very beautiful acoustic version of The Dirt I'm Buried in! I love Johannes' clean vocals, as well as his growling! I want to see more of these acoustic versions of Avatar songs!🤘🏻🖤
Can we please get a full acoustic version of every album?? This shit is absolute gold🤘🤘🤘🤘 the concert in Fargo nd a week ago was absolutely amazing 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Johannes has an incredible voice so powerful and unique this was the song that actually introduced me to Avatar it randomly came on a RU-vid Music playlist when I was at work and got my attention right away. I tried recording vocals for this song and the verses in the studio version are super hard to sing trying to add grit in the voice for the higher register stuff my voice was done lol
Johannes has such great charisma and energy in stage. I've seen a lot of bands perform live that really get the crowd going but Avatar is the greatest.
My son adores Avatar, I thought he might get scared of Johannes wearing make up and such but oh no, he loves him the most! Had a videocall when the concert began in monterrey city 😅❤
I had no idea he can play the ukulele. As a Ukulele player this makes me so happy! Also his singing voice is so beautiful and nice. I would love to hear more of his singing!
This is absolutely amazing! My housemates and I have a (toy) ukulele we play with all the time and we all just saw Avatar last month so this is just great! Thank you!
I lost my truck keys 2 weeks ago shoveling snow here in Wisconsin .. listening to rhis song on repeat . Stay away from alcoholic beverages 😂😂. This song is amazing . Thanks Razor
