ROADIE REACTIONS | "Gloryhammer - Hootsforce" | [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING] 

Fun Fact : there are more airplanes in the ocean than submarines in the sky. Except for Gloryhammer's.

Can I let you in on a little secret???? Christopher Bowes trolled Lady Gaga with Alestorm's song and video of Magnetic North.

"The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" is the song that got me hooked on Gloryhammer. Also I would call it DnD-Metal. Their stories seem like the stories from a murder-hobo group of DnD players.

"Rise of the Chaos Wizard" is another one that you'll find yourself singing along to.

IN HOOTS WE TRUST!

you should check out nano war of steels song "valhalleluja" the singer for Gloryhammer is a guest singer in that video and its hilarious :D

1) Yayyyy!! That's how you cheer up a Monday! 2) Now you're ready for Nanowar's Valhalleluja ;) 3) FIGHT FOR THE ANCIENT STOOORYYY FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE, WE MUST FIGHT FOR FIFE, FOR THE POWER AND THE GLOORYY

Star Wars: We have the best space battles! Marvel: We have the best superhero battles! Gloryhammer: Hold my hammer and my space submarine.

We are now well on our way to a reaction to GrailKnights and their song Pumping Iron Power. Another goofy power metal song with enough cheese to clog arteries.

When Gloryhammer first came to town they were on the "middle bill" with Alestorm as the headliners. Gloryhammer, according to my son, DESTROYED the crowd and stole the whole damn bill. The Following year? Gloryhammer headlined. For absolute, artery hardening levels of glorious cheese, "The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" from their first album is a ridiculously awesome track.

You got to check out "Unicorn invasion of Dundee" or "The Siege of Dunkeld". Or Wind Rose and not just "Diggy Diggy Hole" , but "Return of a Race", "Wintersaga" and so many more. PS: Both bands have very nice members, I got to talk with them a bit and it was a really wholesome experience.

"Gloryhammer"- By Gloryhammer lol or "Universe on Fire"- By Gloryhammer

Chris Bowes just announced a new project a few weeks ago called Wizardthrone. They're gonna play extreme wizard metal and also involves members from Nekrogoblikon, Gloryhammer and Æther Realm. They haven't released any music yet, but it will no doubt be epic. Over to Gloryhammer. As you'd expect for this kind of music, they're very entertaining live. As for songs, they don't really have any bad ones, so I recommend checking out any of their live songs from Wacken last year, you have a good selection of their best songs there.

Once again, I have to recommend "Alestorm - Treasure Chest Party Quest", the music video; it's crazy. Such a weird song. Even weirder video.

I've been saying this ever since their debut album: One of my favourite things about Gloryhammer is how they're parodying the whole epic power metal thing, but also being legit better at it than most of the bands they're taking the piss on.

Oh btw congrats on 35k my dude 😎

I remember my friend introducing me to this band by telling me that listening to their albums is like “going on the world’s most crack fuelled DND binge” 😂😂

The singer is also featured as Odin in the Christmas song "valhallalua" by ManoWar of Steel.

"Fight for the king! for the hammer and the ring!" part is just straight up Rhapsody Holy Thunderforce stuff :D

Personally surprised it was Hootsforce. I think "Unicorn invasion of Dundee", "Angus Mcfife", "Gloryhammer", "Legend of the Astral Hammer" or "Universe on Fire" would have been a better intro to them.

Napalm Records, the only place you can listen to a drunken pirate metal band and immediately after listen to metal space wizards before hearing dwarves singing about digging a hole.

"The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee" is great. Also "Legend of the Astral Hammer." Honestly it's hard to think of songs I don't like. They started out as a fantasy-themed band and have since gone into space fantasy.

Didn't think Hootsforce would make the cut; I was expecting Gloryhammer to be the first Gloryhammer song. Angus McFife XIII has some great tales in Gloryhammer universe. :) For Saturday Morning Cartoon Metal, I'd suggest Grailknights - Pumping Iron Power (feat. Joakim Brodén from Sabaton). Yes.

Glory! Hammer! These guys are absolutely amazing, and you HAVE to check out more Alestorm. This is all just so much fun, the cheeseball metal. You can't get it out of your head once you get it in! God damnit, Tank. Now I can't unhear the "Drink" bit at the beginning. I'm highly amused by this, and it was a great reaction video.

Yay! I love Gloryhammer so much. More, please!

Ever since hearing Gloryhammer for the first time, ive been making people on job sites laugh when I refer to my Estwing as my Gloryhammer.

Ok Man, you catched me with your epic "Drink"-Cover Version🤣👍

Members from this band, alestorm, necrogoblikon and aether realm hade started a new band called wizardthrone. From what I can tell theyre gonna continue the not so serious tradition but with black metal :D

Progress (2/3) Congrats you have accomplished one more prerequisite on your way to unlocking: Reacting to Nanowar of Steel(ft. Angus McFife) - Valhalleluja.

Dude...LEGEND OF THE ASTRAL HAMMER - it doesn't get more POWER than being powered by lasers entwined in a star.

we have "Dwarf metal" with Wind Rose they even did a metal cover of the song "diggy diggy hole".

Greetings from Finland & may the "Hootsforce" be with you.

Damn, never seen someone pick the "I could sing Drink on this" up so fast. That's exactly what we (me and a couple of friends) have been doing everytime we went to see Gloryhammer.

I love Gloryhammer! they are one of my personal favourite bands! :D

This band is just so much fun, and their storytelling never ceases to disappoint. Check out Rise of the Chaos Wizards from their second album, Space 1992. Hail Hoots! 🤘

Fun fact, the lead singer from Gloryhammer also featured in Nanowar of Steel's song Valhallelujah. It is all a big, weird circle of comedy metal my man.

Oh my god, I can't believe you made it to Gloryhammer! Hail Hoots!!

Chris Bowes has a new group coming out in Spring next year that he worked on with the singer from Necrogoblin. It's called WIZARDTHRONE.

The concept of a flying submarine is absolutely ridiculous, and i want to know more. Also, Tank - you've *got* to react to some Van Canto. I recommend their "Fear of the Dark" video from Wacken 2014 for a live act, or their original song "Lost Forever" for a better-mixed track, albeit not a live one. Enjoy!

I bought their album two weeks ago after seeing a reaction vid, and it is great. “Land of the Unicorns” and “Gloryhammer” are my favourites. What I’ve learned so far: Dundee and Fife are very important, there is a hammer, there is a Hootsman and lots of hoots, and there are unicorns. There is a live concert of them on WackenTV of their gig at Wacken 2019, and it is great! It also has the starting times of each song in the description, so youcan pick songs out :-)

One of my favorite Metal Bands! It is so cool that you reacted to them :D. FIGHT FOR THE KING, FOR THE HAMMER AND THE RING!

imagine having one of the biggest goofballs in the world play the villain of your story. god i love gloryhammer

Definitly Warhammer metal. I once spoke Thomas Winkler at a signing and there he told me that Warhammer is their main inspiration for Gloryhammer.

FINALLY!!!!! You need Gloryhammer in your life!

Of all the times I've listened to this and Alestorm's drink - I'd never noticed the similarity. But I watched your Drink video shortly before this one, so I also heard it right as you pointed it out. Gloryhammer songs are pretty addictive and I have woken up singing 'Universe on fire' so many times!! They're great fun live too.

There are few bands more goofy than Gloryhammer, and one you need to see is Grail Knights. They have a song featuring JOAKIM BRODEN OF SABATON called Pumping Iron Power. That needs to be your next power metal reaction.

Awesome! I didn't stop smiling all the way through it. Very good and entertaining.

The Fires of Ancient Cosmic Destiny - epic basically opera style written (not with the vocals, but its divided into acts) story based 12 minute beast of a song, still my favourite from them :D sure check out the lyrics for that one, even though i didnt want to listen to the song for a while after the first listen because of what happens there...

My oldest daughter (she is four) loves this song and band 😂

These boys are tons of fun...wonder of they ever done a co gig with Alestorm

1)Rise Of The Chaos Wizards 2)Gloryhammer Yes they have a song that's the same as the band name.

More gloryhammer pls! More please! Just...more.

Gloryhammer - What happens when the entire party multiclass into Bard.

The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee. The very beginning of the McFife saga

My man...im so thankful for that Tank Fact about what this song is about. Cause Ive been listening to this for mo ths and had NO idea

And now for ultimate cheese - Nanowar of Steel - Valhalleluya. Nanowar with Gloryhammer singer Angus McFife. About furniture. I guess it could be called gospel metal? You'll love it :)

wow... their wikipedia entry is a rollercoaster

Very nice that I came for your reaction on Hootsforce and also got a bit of "Blind and Frozen" from Beast in Black playing in the background 🍺 Edit: can we call it Flash Gordon Metal!?

once you hear it....you can not unhear it. Cause we are here to hoot your beer XD And i vote for warhammer metal! YES

The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee is another great one :)

Gloryhammer is an affectionate parody, with an emphasis on both affectionate AND parody.

Realizing like a month ago that there's a market for this kind of subject matter in song lyrics has restored some of my faith in humanity.

Your face says it all tank they are so fun to listen to lol

Basically anything gloryhammer makes is gold. I suggest universe on fire, hail to crail, magic dragon, and that's just a small sample of the medium faves of mine.

Fantasy Space Metal! Now youre prepared for another epic colab: Nanowar of Steel - Valhalleluja!

I remember going to see gloryhammer in what I think was their first ever show in London UK Boston music rooms it was so badly promoted that I think there was probably only about 25 of us there and it was epic

A few songs of multiple bands I'd love you react to. Nanowar of steel: "Vegan Velosiraptor", "Barbie MILF princess of the twilight", "... And then I noticed that she was a gargoyle" Powerwolf: "Killers with the cross", "Incense and Iron", "Armata Strigoi" Alestorm: "Magnetic North", "Alestorm", "Pirate Metal drinking crew" Gloryhammer: "Angus McFife", "Rize of the Chaos wizard", "The land of unicorns" And obviously more songs by those bands, but when/if you react to a few of those I'll probably update the list with some more.

You can’t really go wrong with any Gloryhammer song. The cheese factor is present through all of them. ;-D My favorite by them is Apocalypse 1992. But as you said the song Gloryhammer is a great way to go. On a similar note of songs that are rehashed, several of the Nightwish albums really borrow elements from each other. I think it’s most apparent in the intro to Bye Bye Beautiful (Dark Passion Play) and Alpenglow (Endless Forms Most Beautiful). It’s basically the same key work with a couple notes difference at the end. You’re still pretty new to Nightwish but once you start listening to a lot of their stuff consistently you’ll notice the similarities.

few songs for you: ANCIENT BARDS - Through My Veins, ANKOR - Holy Wolf and more BABYMETAL and Bandmaid!

I think it's time for Valhalleluja, Nanowar + Glory Hammer ! I loved the reaction!

Aw man, great reaction as always, but I still think you should have started with "The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee", because that's where their story begins. :D

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the pitch meeting for that video "So this will be a big space battle what should we do for that? What kind of space ships?" . . . "Not space ships." . . "No space ships? Then what?" . . "Submarines!" . . . "But that's not how submarines wor.." . . . "Shhhhhhhhhh........submarines."

The singer of Gloryhammer also shows up in Valhalleluja by Nanowar of Steel.

Thanks for the reaction. Didn't know them, now I do, checked them live: they sound really good live at Wacken.

You said the magic word, Warhammer 40k :D There's such thing as Warhammer metal :D I have a few recommendations: Rylanor's Last Stand - Original Song - ft. George Hoctor & Cpl. Corgi . There's Bolt Thrower, they also just do Warhammer metal songs. There's more but I think this is a good start :D

I can only recommend the ENTIRE discography. Because every song is part of the narrative, and as it goes on the small details that were in previous songs make it magical. So yeah, react to the whole band. Yes.

I thought they were singing Goose Bumps. I am Goose Bumps. Loved it!!

Gloryhammer - gloryhammer is another good one

chorus is realy catchy and the videoclip is great !

Oh yeah! Been waiting for this one! They're one of my son's favorite bands. He's six by the way 😆

the story cliffhanger popup reminded me of another musical storybook "The mechanisms, Old king cole" song 2 of a audio novel.

Despite being a big Alestorn AND Gloryhammer fan, I never noticed the overlap between Hootsforce and Drink before...

Thank you, I had a great time!! Great music, lots of laughs, and singing along.

If possible react to Equilibrium "Mana". It's a beautiful 16 min behemoth of a nordic folk metal song without lyrics that just takes you on a wonderful journey. Not reflectif of the bands general work but a clear sign of what they are capable of. Put simply, it's a piece of art

FIGHT FOR THE KING, FOR THE HAMMER AND THE RING, FIGHT FOR THE ANCIENT STORY! Next: "Gloryhammer" the song, from the Album Gloryhammer, by Gloryhammer, where you can learn about his Lightning Powered Goblin Smasher Honestly, all their videos are super fun. You can't go wrong with Gloryhammer. I also highly recommend checking out "Valhalleluja" by Nanowar of Steel now that you're acquainted with Angus McFife. Their song "And then I Noticed She Was a Gargoyle" is also great. If you enjoyed "Drink" from Alestorm, check out "Drunken Dwarves" by Wind Rose. It will also get very stuck in your head, in a good way.

Christopher Bowes is also Zargothrax the evil chaos wizard!

We're getting a guitar manufacturing history lesson in the middle of a Gloryhammer reaction, unexpected but informative!

The siege of Dunkeld!!!!

Awesome that you got to Gloryhammer! Universe on Fire next, it's the ultimate feel good -song. Imagine listening to that with sun setting behind you and a beer in your hand.. just a perfect combo!

Hell yes gloryhammer is so great

"You know what.... lets just go back" Me: Nooo! Not again! It's been playing for 3 days D:

I think I saw someone call it Intergalactic Space Metal recently lol. Thought that fit pretty well. You should definitely check out their self titled track next. That's what really got me started checking them out recently. As for a new suggestion, not sure if anyone recommended Serenity - Lionheart to you yet. Austrian Symphonic Power Metal band. And while I can't necessarily say for all their music as I recently discovered them, that album is basically crusader metal and it's great lol. I've head banged so hard to that song despite it not really being that heavy. Interestingly enough, their singer is also the singer of Warkings.

I really like Hail to Crail or Goblin King of the Darkstorm Galaxy. Or even Hollywood Hootsman.

Hellyeah dude welcome to the Hootsforce And sorry for not being active this weekend in the server I had a busy weekend

If you did hoots force, you have to do Gloryhammer - Gloryhammer (Gloryhammer was released before hoots force). Its like a must see for the "universe" of hootsforce :P

“Fight for the king, for the hammer and the ring”? Definitely would call this Warhammer Metal

*There's a song of Alestorm I came across : "F**#cked** With An Anchor". It's hilarious.*

This was a fun video and cool, catchy song. You breakdown and tank facts only added to the fun, like usual I may add, and looking forward to next one. Thanks Tank!

Oh man you keep picking out my favorite bands 🤘 Gloryhammer is such a hoot (wink wink, nudge nudge) to see live. Check out: The unicorn invasion of Dundee (a classic) Universe on fire Masters of the Galaxy Gloryhammer The Siege of Dunkeld Goblin king of the Darkstorm Galaxy Fun fact: they usually bring out a goblin on stage to kill during the show. Coincidentally, they toured Europe with Nekrogoblikon at the beginning of this year 😁

How does one choose only one Gloryhammer song to listen to? lol They're all good!
