Read the "Metal Hammer" Reviews from an older magazin (early 2022). Reason why i came here. Never ever listened to this band. For sure i know the artist (mostly from the 80ies and his time at "Vengeance") ....but not much more. What i hear here is a direct ride back to classic 70ies rock (in modern arrangements). Being a big fan of the early Uriah Heep i directly was catched by seeing the big fat Hammond in this video. Great song - great band. Will keep it on my radar. Greetings from germany!
By the way, this album is looking great, I'm a huge fan of your projects since the early 2000s. One of the best (if not the best) composers alive today, your talent is just incredible.
I cannot stand it any longer! I have been waiting so long for your new masterpiece and the version I ordered online. I must listen so I will break the promise to myself and listen yo Revel in time on UA-cam. Arjen you are the master of prog and I thank you for shining such beautiful musical light in the darkness of so much mundane modern music. Long live prog and the heavenly rock opera, God bless you and all in our universe.
Toen ik de line-up zag, een paar songs heb mogen horen zat ik zo te denken.....Tjonge, 2022 is nog maar net begonnen en dadelijk krijgen we een traktatie. Zo te horen een juweel van een album. Heb zo'n voorgevoel dat dit album zichzelf nog eens gaat overstijgen. Van de Artwork, tot de laatste noot. Niet alleen een top album komt er aan, maar ware kunst. Dit gaat zo'n album zijn die je jaren vanaf nu nog steeds gaat herinneren en grijs gaat draaien.
Love it! After watching your interview on The Charismatic Voice I had to check this one out. So many of my new favorite bands I never heard about until they collaborated with you. Kamelot, Masterplan, Threshold, Jorn Lande...so many others I'm forgetting at the moment. Thanks for introducing me to all these. Queensryche & Dream Theater have been my 2 favorites since the early 90s and thankfully I found Ayreon about 10 years ago to introduce me to all these bands just as great as my favorite 2.
Arjen, I love how you shop the world to find both recognized and less well known singers and musicians to showcase and celebrate their talents, introducing fans to a wider range of talent, while simultaneously finding the best fits to make each recording the best it could be. I can't wait to hear more from this project....and whatever comes next! You are a true maestro!!!
I love this band so much as kid. I own Space Metal and Victims of the Modern Age. Such a great and under appreciated band. Wonderful job everyone! I can't wait for the next album!👍🤩👍
Just rewatched this clip since someone made a bill and ted meme in a fb group :). Anyway, still in awe of how great this clip actually is. You don't even notice that it's shot in 2 locations. Those involved can be proud (hope you had many raketijsjes in the US shoot)
Hi Arjen, at 1:23 it says "1815: Waterloo, Belgium" but at the time there was no independent Belgium, we (i.e. current Belgium and Netherlands) were together in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands! Hearing this great music and watching this hilarious video, I am in favour of a reunification. :-) Greetings from Belgium.
I love Bill and Ted, this song put a big stupid grin on my face. All the singles are excellent so far, very excited to hear the full album! Thank you for making music Mr Lucassen, you make the world a better place
Mr Lucassen, you have done another 'Most Excellent' song. Absolutely Loved It! You just keep surprising me, everything so far is just amazing, but different. This album is certainly going to be a favourite.
I really like the combination of power and positive humour in this track. Just what the doctor ordered in these weird times. And I just love the 'Strange Machine' reverence describing a flying time machine.
I'm absolutely loving the sound of this album! Also, I love that Arjen can show a bit more of his gooffy sense of humour and love for cinema. Loving it, can't wait!!!
Incredible, I love the idea behind this album - I discovered metal through Iron Maiden writing songs about films and stories they enjoyed, and previously I didn’t know you were allowed to do that with music! Bill and Ted would be proud :)
Hey, I actually saw Sarah Teets perform live last September with her band Mindmaze when they opened for Unleash the Archers. Cool to see her in a Star One video. :) (It was a great show, and the first one I saw since the pandemic had begun)
@@agyar68 No, it doesn't seem like she is. The background vocalists in the song are actually Irene Jansen and Marcela Bovio. Sarah was not announced in the whole series of "guess the vocalist" videos.
Expectations are soaring sky high. I'm certain we will be amazed! Even this small snippet already looks great! We will just have to wait. After all: time, (is) but a curve in space. Fortunately we are not eternal prisoners in (waiting) time. It will be Wednesday before we know it😁
Arjen i´m so obsessed with your music. I just cant explain myself how a mind creates such awesome things!! It just takes over my body. Amazing career Man, you are the best. Every new material you create can´t be called "better or worst than", it is just unique like a relic.
Amazing! Love this tune to the point it make it makes me cry at how awesome this tune is! To be honest, many Arjen projects do this to me with how damn awesome they are!
I *just* discovered your music this last summer, Arjen. Been a huge fan of Dream Theater and a few similar acts for a long time, but I'd never come across your material before. I love everything you're doing! The Ayreon projects are what I saw first.... And I love the Opera structure! It's so fantastic! Star One is also amazing - I'm a big Sci Fi fan, and when I first heard Space Metal, I knew every story that inspired the music....it spoke to me. I can't wait for more!
Words cannot express how thankful I am for your music. It has gotten me some rough times. I enjoy your sense of humor, and your kindness towards others. I am waiting patiently for this whole album, and also whatever you do next (lol).
Wow, what an incredible song :) great vocals, very miles kennedy like :). I am especially impressed by adrian vandenbergs cinematography. And incredible guitar playing by both Arjen and Adrian. Come to think of it, it would be wonderful if Jan Douwe Kroeske picks this up and has you both jam away in a ' >2m sessies ' :)
Didn't think I could get more excited for the new album and yet, here we are! Thank you for the most excellent song Arjen and thank Mr. Vandenberg for the incredible guitar solo.
An enjoyable Classic Rock oddity that doesn't take itself seriously. Vandenberg's guitar is what makes it rise a little above the rest. Will sound OK on your general rock playlist. My Score: Good 3*
Bill and Ted was the movie of my childhood. Arjen's music has been my favorite since I found Ayreon back in the early 2000s. The mix of the two... well it takes me back on the river of time. I can't break away!
Great song and the singer was fantastic, I'd never heard of him before!
Adorable music video, you can tell how much fun everyone was having!
Playing Genghis Kahn in this was so much fun. Can’t wait for the new album! Just a month away now!! :D
Cheers!!
3:24 dat is u?? 😮
@@DDAngel1 Indeed, it is me. Lol. Although I look so different with a fake mustache.
Yeah, and I was the redheaded English wench.😉
You killed it! Most excellent job!
I love when he mouths "BABES???! 😯 ... BABES??"🤣
I was BIlly the kid in the music video! So grateful to of been apart of it!
❤️
Oh so it's you 🙂 Della told me 🙂
It was awesome to hang out with you and the others on set. :)
-Genghis Kahn
Who played Joan d'arc?? She's kinda cute!! 😍
That little eyebrow raise by Joan of Arc that goes with the music at 3:21-3:22 gets me everytime...love it! Love this song!
Looking forward to it! You always have such great vocalists!
Thanks, I'm extremely proud of the vocalists! Especially Brandon did an amazing job here.
The Dutch blonde is absolutely the star of this video.
What a Voice have Brandon Amazing Singer!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💥💥💥💥👏👏👏👏
Brandon is actually an amazing actor (besides his voice..!!) in this video!, props!

Wow... thanks for the big compliments, Niels! Honored...
Agreed Arjen is a genius who I feel has always been in his prime musically.
@@Gooooms You sure know how to give a compliment, Cohen :-)
Same, listening Arjen's music since 2007 :)
This comment needs more likes lol. 100% agree with this.
Awesome...... so Awesome... party on Dudes!
Just saw this for the first time! I've got the Earbook but this video wasn't on the bluray. Nice!!
Adje playing the guitar, i loving it 🎸🎸
Human Equasion helped me during my darkest times of depression. Can't express enough how much your music means to me. I ❤️ U
I Could listen to this one all day long. Awesome.
By the way, AMAZING singer. Didn't know him.
I have been listening to it over and over. So good!
Most excellent!
How do I like this twice

Almost a year already! 😲
What a freaking voice!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
ARGEN was just interviewed on Sea 🌊 of TRANQUILITY with PETE PARDO. Tremendous, insightful interview. By the way this song 🎵 is tremendous! 👍💯
Irene's vocals here are perfect
Энтони как всегда невероятен, ждём с нетерпением!!!!!!
Будет круто! 😉
Goosebumps.
Well, no surprises there.
Arjen, I have a feeling this is going to be the best Star One album yet! Keep up the good work!
Without wanting to sound arrogant.. so do I, Nate! Thanks :-)
@@ArjenALucassen You were absolutely correct!
♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘🤘🤘great...like always
Unbelievable, this a masterpiece of rock!
Hi Arjen, at 1:23 it says "1815: Waterloo, Belgium" but at the time there was no independent Belgium, we (i.e. current Belgium and Netherlands) were together in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands! Hearing this great music and watching this hilarious video, I am in favour of a reunification. :-) Greetings from Belgium.
This promises to be an excellent track and video.
I hope so, Carrinthe, let me know!
@@ArjenALucassen It definitely was Arjen. Great vocals, great riff, great solo fun video. And a bit smitten by Joan of Arc :)
Please never stop creating music. Sweet lord this is amazing
Most excellent
I can only say it is just awesome
When you did guess the singer and I heard Roy, i cried because his voice is so beautiful I can't wait to listen to this album.
I'm stoked about Roy too! Funny thing is there is such an insane amount of talent on this album, I totally forgot he was on it until you reminded me.
Excellent!!!
I love Bill and Ted, this song put a big stupid grin on my face. All the singles are excellent so far, very excited to hear the full album! Thank you for making music Mr Lucassen, you make the world a better place
Awesome song and video Arjen, as always a masterpiece!
Wow, this is absolutely nuts and nonsense...and I like it!! 🙂🤘
Mr Lucassen, you have done another 'Most Excellent' song. Absolutely Loved It! You just keep surprising me, everything so far is just amazing, but different. This album is certainly going to be a favourite.
WYLD STALLYNS!!!! LOVE THE SHIRT AND THE BILL AND TED TIE IN! Great song and hysterical video! Most Excellent!
I love this album!
I really like the combination of power and positive humour in this track. Just what the doctor ordered in these weird times. And I just love the 'Strange Machine' reverence describing a flying time machine.
That riff wow hell yeah
Hi Arjen, from your biggest fan in Japan! So excited to hear this!
I'm absolutely loving the sound of this album! Also, I love that Arjen can show a bit more of his gooffy sense of humour and love for cinema.
Loving it, can't wait!!!
Love It, Especially the dirty guitar sound and Adje.
Long awaited album of 2022 !!! What a song!
This song is Very very powerfull my head can't stop move!!!🤘🤘
Incredible, I love the idea behind this album - I discovered metal through Iron Maiden writing songs about films and stories they enjoyed, and previously I didn’t know you were allowed to do that with music! Bill and Ted would be proud :)
LOVE IT!!
In fact the whole album is awesome.
Hey, I actually saw Sarah Teets perform live last September with her band Mindmaze when they opened for Unleash the Archers. Cool to see her in a Star One video. :)
(It was a great show, and the first one I saw since the pandemic had begun)
I've seen MindMaze a few times, akways headlining. Great live band!
I knew she looked familiar! I'm a big fan of Mindmaze. Is she singing on the album too?
@@agyar68 No, it doesn't seem like she is. The background vocalists in the song are actually Irene Jansen and Marcela Bovio. Sarah was not announced in the whole series of "guess the vocalist" videos.

I fell in love with this song, wonderful performance and very funny too🤘🖤
Just heard it and immediately loved it!
Most excellent.
This album is keeping me alive right now
Can't wait to blast it on the way home from Chicago at 2 in the morning!
Rocking this in the U.P.!!!!!
EXCELLENT!
MOST EXCELLENT!!
Excellent! Great track! Can’t wait for the complete album!

Amazing! Love this tune to the point it make it makes me cry at how awesome this tune is! To be honest, many Arjen projects do this to me with how damn awesome they are!
Such a fantastic audio production yet again! Can't wait to hear the full album in 5.1 surround sound on the blu-ray... it's gonna be awesome!
What a funny and lovely song! Thank you!! This album feels so great! 🔥
omg i found this juuuust in the knick of time geeeez 🥰
My favourite composer!!! Thank you so much, Arjen, for your music!!! ❤️
Arjen is without a doubt one of the best when it comes to heavy guitar riffs and great guitar sound
Strange machine reminds me very much of the song from the gathering. Love it 😀
This looks totally crazy!! Looking forward! 😁
I *just* discovered your music this last summer, Arjen. Been a huge fan of Dream Theater and a few similar acts for a long time, but I'd never come across your material before. I love everything you're doing! The Ayreon projects are what I saw first.... And I love the Opera structure! It's so fantastic! Star One is also amazing - I'm a big Sci Fi fan, and when I first heard Space Metal, I knew every story that inspired the music....it spoke to me. I can't wait for more!
Brandon is an amazing singer and showman. He is the singer for Crobot as well which should really be checked out.
Words cannot express how thankful I am for your music. It has gotten me some rough times. I enjoy your sense of humor, and your kindness towards others. I am waiting patiently for this whole album, and also whatever you do next (lol).
The Wyld Stallyns T Shirt! 🤘 🤘 🤘 Awesome
Wow, this song is wonderfull, love it!
Title track sounds great! Looking forward to this album!
I really like sound of it. 🤩
A most excellent and adventurous song - Party on!!
2 months now and this is the best song
All I have to say is. Wow!
Awesome great music song. Rock 🔥🔥
Wow, what an incredible song :) great vocals, very miles kennedy like :). I am especially impressed by adrian vandenbergs cinematography. And incredible guitar playing by both Arjen and Adrian. Come to think of it, it would be wonderful if Jan Douwe Kroeske picks this up and has you both jam away in a ' >2m sessies ' :)
Now that you mention his name, Arjen should do a song with Myles in it! That would be so awesome! He is such a great singer.
I'm impressed you could find an intact phone booth!
Didn't think I could get more excited for the new album and yet, here we are! Thank you for the most excellent song Arjen and thank Mr. Vandenberg for the incredible guitar solo.
Ok, now it is stuck in my head 😎🤘🎶🎸🎶
Awesome song! I LOVE the Bill and Ted references everywhere. Can't wait to see more from the new Star One album.
Wow looks and sounds amazing already! Can‘t wait! And the heavy vibe in that riff really rocks. My kinda thing yeah 🤟🏻
Excellent David, hope you will like the whole thing!
Love it... so glad i found Arjen, Ayreon, StarOne, Passion, Storm etc last year...
That sounds awesome Arjen!! I did not know Brandon Yeagley, but he gives off Jack Black vibes and this makes the whole video too epic in its way!
Brandon is fantastic. Check out his band, Crobot. Crunchy like you wouldn't believe!
An enjoyable Classic Rock oddity that doesn't take itself seriously. Vandenberg's guitar is what makes it rise a little above the rest. Will sound OK on your general rock playlist. My Score: Good 3*
Yeah! Lift off for Brandon! An absolute top fella and an awesome rock singer!! 🤟🤟
Bill and Ted was the movie of my childhood. Arjen's music has been my favorite since I found Ayreon back in the early 2000s. The mix of the two... well it takes me back on the river of time. I can't break away!
Nice! This is going to be a trip for sure!
I'm a big fan from Mexico, all your projects are awesome, thank you so much for the music you make.
This should be most triumphant. 💥🎸
