This is such a fantastic rendition of an already great song. I've listened to it many times now and I have to say that I like it even better than the original (and I don't say this often about covers). Tommy recorded, arranged, produced, mixed, mastered and performed this song himself.

Fun fact. Tommy got this song as a request from a KZfaqr he did a guest appearance with. When he brought this song to Tommy he immediately knew the song and sang a phrase.

Tommy is from our dear neighbouring country and therefore considered our beloved "ReinXeed" multitalented boy. We all know that his love for power metal started after listening 2 finnish bands - Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica and you can clearly hear their influence in his band Majestic's albums. And Tommy loves to make cover songs just for the fun of it. Many wonders why Tommy is not the leadsinger on Sabaton. Hello! No-one can outweigh Joakim Broden. But Tommy is fantastic performer and songwriter.

Amen to your last sentences! 🤘 I've heard/read a lot of questions why Tommy doesn't sing in Sabaton (or sing more than he does now). Like you said, Joakim is an awesome singer and perfect for Sabaton's music. No one can do that better!! No matter how much we all love Tommy's talent. But do not forget that Sabaton has 5 great talented musicians and all of them do their part with perfection! 😊🤘

Nice reaction! This has always been my favourite Twisted Sister song, and Tommy crushes it, improved it 1000%! I got into Tommy because KZfaq suggested Majestica after I started listening to Dan Vasc. Please 🙏 check out Dan's channel. I suggest The Last Stand, a Sabaton cover, or Tale With No End by his band Fearless(it's original music, not a cover), or any of his five newest releases, especially Dawn Over A New World and Dawn of Victory, done with Fabio Lione himself and Dan's band, Fearless. Honestly, though, I think all 200+ songs are great, from his awkward first video when he was just 20(The Last Journey Home) to his newest, at age 33 now, a cover of Dr.Stein. I've been a fan since I first heard Sound of Silence on 9/15/20, and I've never loved any singer more. Tommy is a close second, though.

When it comes to Sabaton you ought ot try on "Devil Dogs" (about the battle of Belleau Wood), 82:nd all the way (about Alvin York), No Bullets Fly (animated story), Defence of Moscow (about the German offensive into Russia) and Christmas Truce (about the spontaneous truce during December of 1914 during WWI) to name a few. When it comes to Tommy.... pretty much anything he's done though two of my favorites, where he's done his own take on the songs, are Green Days Basket Case which he's done a symphonic metalversion of and 883's Una Canzone D'amore which he's gone crazy on and if you read the comments from the italians they're absolutely extatic about it.

An interesting fat is that Twisted Sister was the first indication that Joakim Broden, the vocalist/keyboardist for Sabaton, was a metalhead. His mom found him rocking out to the video of "We're Not Going to Take It" when he was three or four so she bought him the album. And the rest, as they say, is history...or maybe Sabaton History.

KZfaq kicked me off your channel as a subscriber at some point, apparently. Ran across Tommy Johansson recently, remembered you, and came back to see if you've done any reactions to his videos -- of course you have! I am surprised and puzzled by the stats: 13K views on this one after a year with only 691 thumbs up. What's up with that?!

I fully agree with the "homage" versus straight cover distinction, and this is quite impressively the former. There is, however, a third style - a reimagining. - where Tommy takes a classic and truly makes it his own. Please get back to Tommy soon - here's an example of each: Homage - quite possibly his best work on Gary Moore's incredible "Empty Rooms", letting his guitar skills shine: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9ebhNqfr8rLoKM.html Cover - a perfect rendition of Skid Row's classic ""18 and Life" - He does Sebastian's vocals to a "T": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9Cmgs6gprfVqoE.html Reimagined: turning Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" into a fun power metal ballad/rocker: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndaInZuXs6zWaIE.html

The thing that "metal or (hard) rock singers are just screaming and shouting" is an opinion that really irritates me. First of all that opinion shows very little knowledge of what those people are talking about, since the metal and rock singers are not even singing loudly all the time. They have nuances, too, if people would just take some time to listen more than one chorus of one song. And if loud singing is screaming or shouting, then what about for example Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera or Whitney Houston - they have (or had) powerful voices, too. And gospel singers... And opera singers, they are the loudest ones. 😅 Even some modern pop singers can be quite loud, too. I have always liked powerful voices, long before I even started to listen to metal. Celine, Whitney and Jennifer Rush were my favourite singers when I was younger. 😊
