This is in 2016 before Vlad joined on drums. This drummer is Dmitri Kim. He bowed out as he didn't like being on the road for extended shows. He still plays drums and has a channel here. He also helped mix wallflowers when they laid it down. You can see behind the scenes for a lot of their in studio production process here on the yt. There's a behind the scenes making of this on you tube.
My favorite song by Jinjer. Tatiana Shmayluk showcases more of her beautiful clean vocals in this song. They just were at Wacken, Schleswig-Holstein Germany a few days ago with a huge lineup of artist. And yep, I missed out. Always a great reaction from you guys. Have fun.
There's a bts video and the choreography seemingly gave Tati fits. There's a line they translate "I have a boyish fist! I can't do it girly!" which I dunno it's just super cute to me.
-This was among the songs I listened to after “Pisces” along with “Judgment and Punishment”, “Retrospection”, and “Wallflower.” At first, I didn’t know how to take this song. After hearing it and seeing it live, i really enjoy it especially the ending. Her voice is just so amazing. -After the talk about something different, I have to recommend “Bad Water” especially the official live version from the label. As I said, I tried to check out some of their other songs after “Pisces” but nothing was clicking. After hearing “Bad Water”, I became a fan of the band. What didn’t click for me before about the previous songs I checked out just clicked automatically.
The way that Jinjer mix dynamics in their songs is absolutely amazing, combining quiet and loud, subdued and screaming, common and compound time signatures (if you’re using this song on your bedroom playlist, you’re gonna have a hard time keeping the rhythm 😂)… I’ve seen people fall off of the Jinjer reaction trail after the Pisces/Teacher Teacher/Who Is Going To Be The One/Perennial playlist, so kudos for heading into the rarefied air of the back catalog. Judgement and Punishment is a fun one - and there’s a live one-take they recorded during the pandemic with just Tatiana and her cat, not sure if you’ve come across that one yet. Or if you want a spicy one, try “Sit Stay Roll Over”.
It takes quite a bit to get me laughing, but watching this I just couldn‘t stop. Your humor is right up my alley! Great reaction, instant sub! Greetings from Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany
Sit Stay Roll Over is even older. It was when Tati had dreads and it was the video/song that got them signed to Napalm records. Great review! Love watching you guys. Outlander is older, too, and my favorite song by them.
Just saw them with Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed. A decent amount of people left right after Jinjer’s short 30 minute set, blew my mind that they wouldn’t stay for the rest of the show. BB played for an hour and Disturbed went 2.
Disrespectful to a highly talented band like Jinjer to be an opening act (way better than Breaking Benjamin) and only had 6 songs and half the crowd wasn't watching them play. The people in the pit were pathetic and were sleepwalking. I've been to Jinjer shows where Tatiana is Headlining and out performs the other two bands. Disturbed did put on a good show, but Jinjer should of been the 2nd act for at least over an hour.
Jinjer is concurrently on their own tour, making stops in between the Disturbed dates. They’re getting exposure and making the money by doubling down on the number of shows.
Lol the disturbed tour has been an absolute shitshow for jinjer, hopefully the payday is good......the most technically proficient band and the best frontperson performer on the card is playing a tiny 25 min set with 70 pct of seats empty and half of the crowd present not even looking at the stage 😂😂......they need to be a headline only act......disturbed is grampa rock, majority of those fans ain't looking for no jinjer as can be seen in many clips of these shows 😂😂
Metal bass player with several years of both recording and live experience here to save Ash a bit 😅 1. Yeah, coated strings definitely last longer. However, with the frequency you change string during touring and recording, they never really reach an age where that matters. I would only use coated strings on the bass I practice on at home 😊 2. What Ash noticed as "space noises" from the bass is actually a good observation. What you heard was the bass and drums doing "accents" to emphasize specific parts in the guitar riff. If you listen to the guitar, and Dave may know this too, it was doing two notes with a "closed" sound followed by one with an "open" sound (c-c-o-c-c-o) - the bass and drums were doing accents on the open notes. It's really fun to see and hear someone who's not musically trained listen to music and often have a totally different experience! Keep it up, you two 😊
What you were saying about the bass players strings - I've been playing guitar and bass for 20 years and I've lost count of the number of guitar strings I've snapped but I've never broken a bass string. They are nearly indestructible, his strings are fine.
Great Reaction! Dave, be nice to Ash, she's great at setting up your "straight guy" routine! Ash, I can't help but smile and even laugh as you fixate on Tati! I especially enjoyed the first "false ending" as Ash is grinning and looking at the screen just waiting and hoping Tati will re-appear! I really think yall should do some "Double-Feature" Reactions where you watch the "Official Video" followed by the "Live Version" of several of Jinjer's songs. All of the Official Videos are great, but I really love the sound of the live versions and yall can also see and react to the differences...PLUS, Ash will get a DOUBLE-DOSE OF TATI!!! Some Double-Features I think yall should do are: Vortex & Vortex Live Hellfest 2021; Pit of Consciousness & Pit of Consciousness Live in Kiev; On the Top & On the Top Live in Kiev. Looking forward to your next Jinjer reactions!
Thanks guys. Love this track. Dave, you may like Sound Struggle. They combine metal, jazz-funk and prog with a mix of clean and guttural vocals. They've got a couple of live studio tracks on RU-vid called The Disease and Rise.
This is why you don't take your (non metal) gf or wife to gigs. They get confused and start talking utter bollux. In this case she obviously has the hots for the bass player.
I don't see this song as any different from the rest of Jinjer. A little more melodic at points, but it's still their brand of metal and if you like Jinjer, this song should be "your type of music", at least in my opinion.
