I enjoyed your reaction, Dave! I love your enthusiasm with music! I can relate. Please check out more of Nightwish (their live stuff is phenomenal) if you can. I've been a fan for 25 years and listen to them at least once a day. Cheers!

Jukka! ❤‍🔥Speaking of drummers, Floor is married to the drummer of the swedish band Sabaton, and she lives here in Sweden, I consider her an honorary swede. Her hand gesture of respect and appreciation in Jukka's direction at the end is as nice to see now, the umpteenth time, as it was the first time.

I can't say how many times I have seen this video. Toward the end of the number there is a crowd shot of a big girl who has her hands above her head, head tilted back, eyes closed and lost in the music. That is how I feel every time I watch this.

True! I know which girl you mean - she is lost in the music.

I have been around a lot of people like Dave here, in the skater community. They're just the most fun and entertaining poeple. Suuuuper energetic, super fun. What a great guest. I want to edit this. The skater community has so many fun characters. It's like the metal community, being in the middle of both is probably the biggest gift of my entire 36 year long life. The most kind hearted, wonderful people you can find.

I didn't know I needed Dave alongside my coffee this morning, but I did! Not just his hyperkinetic energy, but his amazing enthusiasm. He reminds me of my favorite teachers (way, way) back in High School, who always seemed so excited to share new things with students. I bet Dave is the same way as a drum teacher. Great guest.

Especially on the drum side with Marco Minneman and Gavin Harrison! If Joel still hasn't reacted to it, he should check out "Anesthetize" (live from Tilburg). 17 minute masterpiece!

Great reaction. Nightwish is awesome. Jukka had health issues and eventually stepped down He is still a member of the band but behind the scenes only. From everything I have read, Jukka is an awesome person. Who was the drummer that got Dave into drumming? Since Dave is a drummer, I suggest he react to Junna's cover of the twice burned DragonForce song Through the Fire and Flames. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7GiZKtlr9yamac.htmlsi=si8tzQOiqI65hgma There is even a video of Gee reacting to Junna. Junna just joined a band called Hagane. During a drummer symposium, Junna met for the first time Haruna. There was a picture on social media they both posted. Let's just say the picture of those two is infinite kawaii.

Mike Portnoy, the Drummer from "Dream Theater" listened to the track and said "...and am BLOWN away by what you've played me of Babymetal! "Tales of the Destinies" is full-on PROG METAL". I know the show is already in the can, but keep Babymetal in mind for the next time you are looking for a longer progressive track (almost 7min). Thanks Joel!!
