Colm McGuinness - My Mother Told Me feat JohnTheodore (Norse Folk Metal Cover) [Reaction/Review] 

Colm's Davy Jones' cover is incredible. His lows are something else, even if you dont react to it, it is 100% worth listening too!

Hey guys! This poem, Þat mælti mín móðir, was written in approx year 917 by my great great great... (repeat "great" 26 times hehe) grandfather Egill Skallagrímsson. I am his direct descendant 28 generations up (like probably a large chunk of Icelanders alive today, haha). Egill Skallagrímsson was born in Iceland in the year 910 and is the main character in one of the most famous Icelandic Sagas, "Egils saga Skallagrímssonar". He was the son of Skallagrímur Kveldúlfsson, who emigrated from Norway. They settled in the West of Iceland and the farmhouse Borg is where they made their home. The small town of Borgarnes, a stone's throw away bears the name of farmhouse. Egill was quite the character. At the tender age of 7, he was playing sports with the neighbour's kid, Grímur Heggsson that was a strong 11 year old, and Grímur was giving Egill a hard time so Egill just killed him. As you do... haha. That's what vikings do. haha. After this his mother told him he would make a fine viking and Egill wrote this poem on that occasion. 7 years old! It should be noted that the Icelandic language has changed very little since that time. Here's Egill's original poem (1st verse), followed by the modern Icelandic version: Þat mælti mín móðir, at mér skyldi kaupa fley ok fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svá til hafnar hǫggva mann ok annan, Það mælti mín móðir, að mér skyldi kaupa fley og fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svo til hafnar höggva mann og annan, Þorsteinn Kolbeinsson

Colm is MY FAVORITE.

Colm is a legend everything he does is fantastic!!!

That was fucking awesome!! Saved to my Spotify list! Amazing

Be like us say ya they serve a gun with Mcdonald in America one gun with every burger 😂

You definitely got to check out his recent vocal cover of 16 tons it may not be metal but it shows you the best range of his singing voice especially the deep end

You should definitely watch his if I had a heart cover, especially the metal one

\m/ awesome \m/

How about VoicePlay's version of My Mother Told Me next? It's quite epic, too And what I would highly suggest is VoicePlay's Nothing Else Matters cover. Covering Metallica in acapella might sound impossible, but the guys pulled it of surprisingly well.

Yall gotta get that ne obliviscaris single going, song is niiiiiiceee

You want to hear a lot of bass singers showing their pipes? Listen to The Wellermen Misty Mountain. Colm Mc Guinness and Jonathan Young are also in, acapella, big sound. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f1Vkh1Iy5IA.html

I wished we would call this beautiful instrument hurdy gurdy, and not Drehleier. It deserves a beautiful name.

Can you guys react to Primitive- with the rats and snakes or god is beneath us
