Top Comments of this video!! :3
Kaizers Orchestra concerts were fucking wild. Everyone knew the lyrics and was belting along, and the lead vocalist - Janove - is INSANELY charismatic. It has been ten years since I went to one of their concerts and to this day I feel like getting out of my chair and jump around whenever I hear their music.

You have no idea how close the "welcome to the insane asylum" comment hits ^^ Kaizers created this whole world with their songs. A mafia, an insane asylum with it's own doctor (who has his own song, btw), a rebellion, not to mention the newest trilogy with the "Violetta" world. It's pretty amazing, actually.

I've watched Kaizers Orchestra live 5 times and every concert were mind blowing. Their live performance was always fantastic. Janove was the perfect frontman of this band of great and skilled musicians with a charming charisma and impressive stage presence. There is only one thing that I don't like about Kaizers Orchestra is that they decided to quit. I miss them deeply.

Kaizers Orchestra was absolutely FANTASTIC live. The studio albums were brilliant and they were my entire youth, but actually in concert they were the next level. The crowd knew all the songs, there was dancing, singing, cheers, just a party all round. I think I attended 5 concerts of them, in small venues and large, and they were just a sight to behold.

So, first of all - FINALLY Kaizers made it through to this channel! I'm really glad someone mentioned them on Instagram!
Now, a couple of things:
1. Kontrol comes from their first album - and, ironically, they were panned by some critics and called uninspired Tom Waits on crack. Quite funny when you see they became one of the most important rock bands in Norway with subsequent releases.
2. This comes from Live at Vega (if I'm not mistaken) - their first tour. They evolved with time but, initially, they were just a bunch of misfits with Janove (the vocalist) just going dead drunk on stage.
3. The name of the keyboardist is not 250 Prosent, it's Helge. And Oyvind plays double bass, not cello :P
4. Sadly you can't see them doing one of their trademark stuff which is using barrels for playing - you can check, for instance, Bak et Hallelujah or Ompa til du dor. When asked why masks and barrels, Janove's response was: "because it's fun and different". Oh well.
5. And the bad thing is - they're on hiatus - Janove and Geir (the black-hair guitarist) focused on writing an opera whereas Terje (the blond guitarist) focused on his own band. Which leads me to point 6:
6. You must also check Skambankt - Terje's band - the guy has an amazing, raspy vocal.
Also this goodbye - neat!

Yeeees. I was there in that crowd. It's from Vega in Copenhagen. Kaizers are Norwegian but were very popular throughout Scandinavia. I saw them 8 times in Denmark - each of them an unbelievable party like nothing else. And not just because of the showmanship. If you dive into their back catalogue there are tons of genuinely brilliant songs there.
Wonderful band. Miss them so much. A night out with Kaizers on stage would be the perfect antidote to Covid-isolation.

Someone has probably already said this, but in case not: the "drums" sound so deep in the breakdown because the guitarists are actually hitting 50 gallon drums with (a) a wrecking bar (b) a hammer and (c) a broken headstock of a guitar! Plus theres a tire rim that makes a loud, high pitched ding sound

I've seen your video a few times now, and I love it. I've been a kaizersfan since the beginning when I was a young teeanger. No many people at my age digged this, and did'nt buy in to the whole circus/carnival thing. I really dislike reaction videos, but yours was like a showing Kaizers to a friend, AND THEY JUST GET IT THE FIRST TIME. Everything you said was spot on! I am really impressed. A lot of people needs a few listens. Love from Denmark

Hah. That was one thing I never expected an English language vocal coach to react to, but interesting how you catched up on some of the themes in the lyrics just by the way Janove used his voice.
As Mateusz points out, this was a song originally from their first (and by far best, in my opinion) album, "Ompa til du dør". Their sound got more streamlined with each album after the first as they experienced more and more commercial success. They made a bunch of quite good more traditional pop/rock songs and got quite competent to it. But to me they never held up as well as the first album. I put it on every now and then now, almost 20 years after it was released.

I love that you reacted to them. They're incredible, and seeing them in concert was just amazing. Janove, the singer, had complete control of the audience and they basically did anything he told them. You said he played on pots and pans, which is close to true, they used oil barrels and car parts as instruments. They also started out deciding they were going to be Norway's best live band, and then working hard to achieve that, and when they were at their height they definitely were the best live band we had. Also, despite singing in a Norwegian dialect they actually had some success in countries where people don't understand Norwegian, which is quite cool. This was fun.
