[REACTION!!] Old Rock Radio DJ REACTS to WITHIN TEMPTATION ft. "Faster" (Live @ Wacken) 

More reactors need to listen to Within Temptation.

3 guitarists in the band, and on stage here. Band co-founder ,and Sharon's partner, guitarist Robert Westerholt had stopped playing live in 2011 to be a stay at home Dad. He's on stage here, don't know if it was for the whole tour, or select shows. Recommend checking out 'Ice Queen'. From the 2nd album, it was their commercial breakthrough song. Great version at the Black Symphony concert.

Her voice is developing through all those years. How great is that. She has an operatic range, for which she is famous and you can hear. The compositions are on NW and Epica level too now. Nice t hear you react to all thos Dutch power-women. There must be something in the water her. And yes I concur! Rock on Eric! 🤟🤟

I saw Within temptation at Sweden rock last summer and they had the best performance of everybody during those four days. And that says a lot since i am a Nightwishfan and they where there also

There’s 2 guitarist and a bassist on stage. It’s nice to see you’ve noticed a lot of those details. It feels like their excellence is often overlooked.

Another great reaction Eric. Within temptation have a special place in my heart. SHARON self taught vocalist BANGING IT OUT LIVE LIKE THIS. I've seen nightwish live my next has to be WITHIN TEMPTATION.

Fun Fact, this Song often used in Videos of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy Motorcycle Races. They race in normal streets, not on a Special Race Track. 😄

Sharon stated that for the past fre years, she has sought/obtained vocal coaching-training to improve... her live sound has definitely. Improved even better since , say, 2017...... including regaining her full high notes, like she had around 2000 - 2008

Within Temptation was my very first band into the metal world and still has a most special place in my heart. Within Temptation and Nightwish are my absolute fav. SHarons sound has improved a lot in the last few years. The last time I heard them live was November 2022 and I was blown away! It was so damn amazing! She was already good but afte rthat last live performance, dang! 0.0 I really heard a difference and I absolutely loved it! And YES, what you say also is noticed by me. Sharon has such a high energy on stage, jumping and running around and really interacting witht he oudience, but you just don't hear it in her voice when she jumps, like how the hec does she pull that off?! It's so cool! :D

Man I love this band. It's really good to see them get some well deserved attention. Thanks, Eric.

I can hear the piano in this live version much more clearly then in the studio recording which is really interesting. Great performance!! And i wrote this before i listened to the rest of your analysis and you mentioned this as well haha!! its a great touch

I was there live and the whole show was sooo awesome! Especially with the sunset in the background. This woman brings so much power on stage 😍 Another singer/band that brings so much power, that was also at Wacken 2019 was Battle Beast 😍 you could check out one of their most popular songs named "Out of Control".

Hi Sharon is Beautiful and a great performer. Sharon will be 49 thus year.

Beautiful

DUTCHIES!! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

Rocking performance. Very high energy.

I concur! Great reaction. I'll need to check out more of this band!

If I jump that much I will not even be able to talk….

Thanks for the trip back to my preteen days with Smalltown Boy. I wasn't expecting that from a Wirhin Temptation reaction, but I concur with the reference.

I was there, was so unbelievable🤘🤘

I Concur + Sharon the Performer interacting with the Crowd, their Cheerleader inviting them to the Stage. With no Formal Training, Just Talent and a lot of Work Developing those Skills. She can Hold Her own in a Duet with the Highly Trained "Tarja" in the Song "Paradise What about Us". The Band is Tight and Balenced.

I love WT! It would be great if u could react again to Epica. Perhaps Design your universe or Chasing the dragon, live at Retrospect show?

It’s Sharon

Eric, great comments as always. Within Temptation is of course a wonderful band that has been paying far too little attention lately. One comment: don't try to pronounce Dutch names the American way. Sharon is fine, but her surename 'den Adel' is definitely not pronounced the same as 'Adele' (English Pop Singer-Songwriter). Almost always the Dutch 'e' occurring in a second syllable sounds like a 'stomme ə'. Just like the second and third 'e' in Anneke van Giersbergen's name pronounce it as a stupid 'ə'. (there is also a silent 'ə' in the third syllable of her last name). Eric, my advice: test the pronunciation of those Dutch names by trying (in advance) via the Google Translate 'Play' button.

Ok here's a live performance by a band that brings it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qHIA9xt07Vw.html The female drummer is singing back up.

A good next one: The Promise, or Enter, their debut song;-)

I concur. If i may suggest a song from Within Temptation with about a 100 layers, i'd like you to listen, react, analyse and enjoy "The truth beneath the Rose" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cMPQUyub9Bo.html It's with an orchestra, a choir, pyrotechnics, great audience, marvellous background screen and Sharon of course🙂.

Does anyone else get any of the Wicked Game wibes from this song?

'Faster' is one of my favourite tracks by the band but it's never a song I would choose as a show case live... even though I would always want them to play it live. I love this track as a raw live performance but they are better than this... if that makes sense!

I clicked on this one because they are one of my favorite bands. Great song, crap recording. The official video is far superior.

Concurpas..... the more I hear it, the more it sounds like an STD! 😂 But seriously: indeed, she is completely self-taught, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, before she and her husband founded Within Temptation. And I believe she still practices several hours a day these days. As far as I know, there are 2 guitar players in the band, and a bass player. But sometimes they do invite 1 or 2 more guitar players for liveshows.

I think you would like this song to Within Temptation - Edge Of The World - Live from Hydra in concert ... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j7Q2ST1BlSg.html

I am a big WT FAN, AND MUCH BIGGER Sharon fan, since 2010... and while this song is quite well composed and such, it ts not a favorite. OF mine, although I saw her do very well and fun, live with it, in North America, although she had caught a cold prior, I think in Toronto...
