Van Canto - 4 Lies About Heavy Metal

[1PowerMetalHead1]

Guest:Hansi Kursch

The forever legend of metal

[AngryIntellectual]

"Drummers are not musicians"? What the hell? I've NEVER heard anyone say that before. Since when did that become a "lie"? Drummers in every style have been and always will be musicians, no one in their right mind would say otherwise.

[FooFighterFix]

@AngryIntellectual Who can you always find hanging around with musicians? A drummer.

[xEmoWerewolfx]

Hit my with your rythm stick!

Couldnt stop laughing XD

[Krzychuckpl]

Fat Hansi.

[MrMorphium666]

[SanguineUltima]

candy-pop faggots love to criticize metal since anything approaching real music is too complex for their watered down commercial tastes.

[Truffle85]

Timpani! He's got timpani! That's just awesome.

[LesiaKitty]

:D

[axedras997]

[GraveDiggerFanGril98]

[XgogorevanX]

geile sache, gut gemacht ;)

RAKATAKKA!

[elektra647]

0:18 Guitar Hero?

[karatepato]

0:18 that´s a bass not a guitar

[takingbackromance]

2:06 hit me with your rhythm stick? .....wat?

[toogawnjawn]

I just have to say, I put this band in whole in a whole new catogery of it's own, not alternative and not metal, ment as a compliment not an insult, I never heard of a band being metal with out a guitar, and this sound is defintely not the mainstream alternative. Just have to say that the best music that I like comes out of Europe, not my native land the America. I may be as old as sin, but I do not disrepcect what music someone likes, Keep on Rockin' in the free as the the Neil Young lyrics go.

[TioInu]

01:01 01:20 "...and then God sang".

@MakiLord gleich richtig prägen den kleinen! ;)

[xnikolasx8]

Metal music is in your soul ...!!!!! not in the musical instruments ..!!! and drumers are important to a band .....!!! if you whant to see try to play without the drum beat ... you will lose your rhythm ... i know that well my brother is a drumer and i play electric guitar ...!!!

[dogneybob]

@xnikolasx8 its a list of what people lie about, not a list of lies that are true

[MetallMango]

3:42 Epical Voice Crack

[qwexas]

What song does the bald guy scream?

[basketSK8]

this is an test of the They Are Able! very fucking

[luizjanela]

Um pandeiro da Contemporânea !

Brazil is everywhere ! Hahaha

[blackcorvo]

@luizjanela o cara que canta os baixos é brazuca

[vanishy0urself]

That bald guy can scream very epically. And funnily. "YaaaaAAAAAAA!" I laughed together with them. So awesome. :)

[1PowerMetalHead1]

@vanishy0urself Ross Thompson  please

[irimawen]

Drummers are not musicians? I wonder how much thought it takes it to arrive to such a conclusion... Given they usually serve as the point a tune is built around I'd say it's the other way around. They must have an incredible rhythm and be able to hold it consistently.

[mohokios]

@irimawen it's not only that.... a good/creative drummer can change the whole song too.... ^_^

[Stuwie999]

Hit me with your rhythm stick!!

[Haloidc]

[iTzSenshi]

Van Canto + Hansi Kürsch = Double Perfection ! ! !

If you haven`t known it yet: The name of the song with Hansi is "Take to the sky"

[EdwinMarc]

@DerDrachenkaiser Blind Guardian is einer meine lieblings-Bands. Das einzige Ding das mir nicht gefallt ist das die keinen Song auf Deutsch.

[ironballs16]

[oi565]

@abisiaks I can understand English very well

[abisiaks]

[bussymithy]

Van Canto is doing their own style and it is insanely awesome to me!!!!!

[SwordofDeath999]

3:32-3:48 yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! XD

[eduardobateria]

So.... drummers are not real musicians" ...???

Look some Dave Weckl and Robby Ameen videos, then you can tell me if they are real musicians or not.

Sorry for my bad english.

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@eduardobateria You are another one who doesn't know to properly read. It says LIES ABOUT METAL. One of those lies are "Drummers are not real musicians". They are defending Drummers in this video. Before you start judgind and having lousy prejudice I suggest that you properly READ before making your own conclusions. That's how you won't look idiotic.

[eduardobateria]

@c1k4ml3kc3

In that context, You are another one who doesn't know to properly read, read all my comment, i wrote "Sorry for my bad english" english is not my language, but well..... that´s not an excuse at all so please excuse me.

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@eduardobateria I'm not attacking you nor I'm "executing" you. English isn't my language either, however I do try my best :]

Anyway, there're people who're easily falling for that sentence thinking how Van Canto wrote that "Drummers aren't real musicians".

They've said it's a lie (wrong, false, not true) and they've shown their own drummer in the clip who's singing (which was kind of funny lol ).

Van Canto people wouldn't have a drummer if they thought that they aren't musicians :D that's it.

[MrDRUMRBOY]

"drummers are not real musicians" FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is so not true you stupid piece of shit. fuck your shitty music faggot.

[southside721]

@MrDRUMRBOY I think ya missed the point.....4 Lies about Metal....Which in this case they are saying....Drummers are not real musicians...is a lie..Because ..they are, real musicians..being that the drummer in this band ...is the only thing that is real...as far as an instrument goes..other than a voice.

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrDRUMRBOY Learn to read jackass

[fanatikboom]

[MaidenDio252]

Anyone who thinks that drummers aren't musicians or that all metal singers sound the same obviously has never even listened to metal.

[ElGolemista]

@MaidenDio252 <------ what this guy said

[Tristan644]

Is that Hansi from Bling Guardian on 1.07?

[TheIronFist9]

@Tristan644 yes. He's recording take to the sky (van canto & hansi kursch)

@metalkeith13 It is.

[PainbringerxXx]

I don´t get it... What is this all about? and drummers are not musicans? what the fuck? I like this band... but I don´t like this... piece of shit...

[BlueMoonSaber]

@PainbringerxXx What they are saying is that the statement "drummers are not musicians" is a lie. Much like they say you can have metal without guitars, they are saying drummers are musicians.

[crazydude980]

@PainbringerxXx thank you bitch

[mentosxiii]

ich muss rauchen!

[Pumkin57]

What the hell is this?

crap

[LadyMinstrelsBallad]

3:32 - 3:45 is the best thing ever. XD

[ezraholmes01]

There is no metal without giutarists.

[biedrzycki14]

hansi is the best!!!! stefan is doing backing vocals on the new blind guardian cd as well. you all should check out bastian's new group. in legend.

[SturmSilberhand]

The Clips in between are from the Song Hero... the intro of Hero ^^

[Matizz227]

Drummers are not musicians? Who said that? :O

[WingedFlames]

Bei 1:03 also wenn Hansi anfängt zu singen. verstehe ich am Anfang irgendwie "Hackfleisch"xD

[Prankcall12]

this is not metal this is shit

[Rhena979]

3:40 wtf xD

[elmagoyeahh]

jajaja 3:43 jajaja

[IUKAchan]

3:34 - für welchen song war das?xD

[MrFireloveswater]

WOW!

Van Canto is soooo unique and original!!!

I love them and I hope some day they will represent germany at Eurovision

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater W T F - Eurovision? That SHIT?

[MrFireloveswater]

@c1k4ml3kc3 just because you don't like it doesn't mean is shit....

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater Dude, seriously, Eurovision is total opposite to anything Rock/Metal stands for. Don't even start compartmental factors of Van Canto to that lousy show. Now, i don't like it because I know things a bit more than you and I suggest that you start realizing how ignorant you sound by stating Van Canto and Eurovision. Just because you have a need to connect VC to Eurovision so that they "become more popular" or have some type of prestige doesn't mean that it should be done.

[MrFireloveswater]

@c1k4ml3kc3 Hahaha I bet you said is a "lousy" show just because you're not european and you're jealous.And stop saying you know more than me WTF i have lots of thumbs up at that comment so you are the only one who thinks that

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater You're listening to Pop and Metal. That's a no-no. I do live in Europe and my country recently was a winner at Eurovision contest. If you knew anything about metal at all you'd already know that it has nothing to do with metal, whatsoever. The only band that got trough was Lordi - however they had a huge support because of the looks as well as the song - wasn't really a surprise.

However, I do know a lot more than you. You just proved that by your ignorance about music. Sorry.

[MrFireloveswater]

@c1k4ml3kc3 man lots of metal bands go at eurovision....and the reason why Van Canto should go at eurovision is because they are one of the best bands out there but they don't have the popularity they deserve.

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater So, basically, you want them to be overly popular so that some stupid shitheads know about them and start liking them because of their popularity rather than their quality. Because that's pop music for you. It's SHIT. Lot's of metal bands? Name me those "lots of metal bands" that will go and who are not from a country that's mainstream metal (Finland, Sweden). If you can.

Besides, you know nothing about metal if you're listening to both pop and metal alongside hiphop. F A I L

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater And, no, you haven't reassured me. Van canto should be liked because of their music, not because they're popular. You are young and maybe you will understand that one day once you see people who don't like bands because of their music but because other people like them. If you are one of those posers (I do think that you are) - you failed big time.

[MrFireloveswater]

@c1k4ml3kc3 Oh you know what?nvm....I don't feel like I have to prove myself to you.And I'm not young and I don't listen to that shit pop music you know nothing about me and what I know about metal so fuckin shut up

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater It's not that you don't feel, you can't prove. That's the point. I know that you know nothing about metal in general since you want a metal band to take a role of commercialization of non the less - Eurovision!? It's like saying that you want to see Justin Bieber playing Death Metal so that metalheads start adoring him better.

Besides, you're missing the point of Van Canto - THEY ARE POPULAR because of their music and there's nothing you can or can't do about it, you poser.:]

[MrFireloveswater]

@c1k4ml3kc3 lol the whole  page is full of our comments :))

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater That's nice...

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater Eurovision*

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@MrFireloveswater Now, if it isn't much of a problem - explain concisely why it would be good that Van Canto are preforming at Eurovision contest? As for the Thumbs Up - they prove that there're more people out there who know nothing about metal music and are drawn towards pop shit. If you're able to give one good reason for a metal band to appear on the Eurovision contest I just might change my mind. Good luck with reassuring me.

[NeiLune]

@MrFireloveswater Are you serious? Do you know what Eurovision is? It's a commerciaization of music, EXACTLY what metal is against! Please, don't insult Van Canto like this, they don't deserve it. If I would see such a wonderful band appear at the Eurovision I believe that I would just die because of the sadness.

@c1k4ml3kc3 I totally agree with you about everything you wrote.

[me123metal]

@MrFireloveswater well they arent original there are some bands that did it before Van Canto (mostly in the 16th century) i've got to admit these days there arent many a capella bands and even less metal a capella bands it think Van Canto is the best in their genre but still wouldnt call them that original.

That doesnt take away the fact that they are awesome.

[oi565]

@MrFireloveswater haha Finland is only country which will win Eurovision with metal!

[2Brutal4you]

take the vibrator out of your ass and then stick it in your eye. that was fucking awful

[rockpop1]

[OrbiliusMagister]
