I have so much respect and admiration for Arjen. A man who has so much talent, creativity and yet remains humble and approachable. I always look forward to his work.
I thought' it was not possible to love him and respect you even more than what I did in all these years... but he made it possible! He must keep writing!
Such an inspiring guy. I have a fairly vast array of other influences but I love his mentality when it comes to music, and how he's well connected with people but shuts himself off from the nonsense of the world.
Arjan, if you realize that you have your body in harmonize with musik, Energie, and words you so postiv powerfull that you bring these energy into the minds of people which get so positiv and brings over like the Ayreon networks worldwide. Thanks from Styria,
You mean all of his albums. I mean pretty much every album aside from The Theory of Everything fits into one story line. Heck, The Human Equation fits into a past life of the man in The Universal Migrator
Theory of Everything could fit in the whole story line if you consider that through the drugs, Forever sends visions to the Prodigy, but I still can't find a link between the whole storyline and Actual Fantasy.
Wat een geweldig mooi mens! En niet te vergeten, fantastisch mooie muziek. Al jaren luister ik naar je composities en geniet er met volle teugen van. Dank je wel!!!
Ik vind het zo mooi om te zien hoe eerlijk, normaal en herkenbaar Arjen voor mij is. Alleen mis ik al het talent dat Arjen heeft. 😂 Wat een geweldig mens. #escapisme
You are a great man, Mr. Lucassen... much greater then I imagined. So is your music. I'm a nerd too. And a social recluse, a very shy one) 4:38 - lying on the floor with closed eyes, listening to music... Believe it or not, that's how I listen to your music Arjen (with closed eyes and undisturbed)! :) Glad to hear you overcame your depression. Looking forward for many more projects to come. All in all, thanks for the video, very informative! Also I loved Blade Runner showing all the way through!
Geweldige gitarist componist schrijver ga zo maar door, Arjen behoort tot de buitencategorie top muzikanten! Arjen geniet In het buitenland meer bekendheid dan in zijn eigen land, maar daar hebben meer Nederlandse bands helaas mee te maken!
Arjen is one of the true greats...I feel connected to him, not only because he lost his taste (10 years before covid!). I wish him al lot of success with his new project "Supersonic Revolution".
This video always makes my heart beat a little faster ;-) Some parts of it make me smile; others makes me want to just reach out and hug him ...............
Personally, his latest solo effort 'Lost in the New Real is my favourite of ALL of the albums he has produced. I hope he continues along the same path in the future. Seems like a good guy!
Amazing person and artist. Discovered him through Tommy Karevick as the Prodigy, and I loved the instrumental also "Tommy". Arjen it's a true inspiration and let us see what really makes u an artist, "real life" . Live long and prosper Arjen. P.S. if you read this I wonder if you like Orson Scott Card :D ?
I love Star trek but I have to admit I love Babylon 5 more due to there being more of a human feel.. I think you would do an amazing show around Babylon 5 the Telepaths Vorlons Shadows Minbari there is so much to play with..You have such amazing creativity As soon as I saw Aryeon Universe I had to buy it amazing Even though I am a Nightwish fan I see you and Tuomas Holopinen as two of the greatest composers of our time..Keep straight and narrow remember the path goes left and right but always go forward there is no reason to go backwards..Wish I had the temperament to play an instrument but my mind is always multi tasking..And there is so much inspiration in the ether..Look forward to your creativity in the future..
That's what happens when you don't born in a tropical shithole mess of a place and when you are not raised by psychopaths who thrive on manipulation and control. Then, you have a taste of what it feels to incarnate in this planet as a human, not as an animal. I often ask myself what have I done to go through this and where could I flee to, Netherlands maybe? In recent times it seems like there's no place to flee anymore, the mess has spread all over, the bacteria was not cleaned and spread itself. The ones who got it, got it. The ones who didn't, will never do.
I have so much respect and admiration for Arjen. A man who has so much talent, creativity and yet remains humble and approachable. I always look forward to his work.
Out of this world personallity. Could imagine Bach, Beethoven, Tesla, being similar to Arjen.
How humbly and humanity. Respect, Mister Lucassen!
I thought' it was not possible to love him and respect you even more than what I did in all these years...
but he made it possible! He must keep writing!
You never fail to put a smile on my face Arjen, even in your smallest of actions.
I had so much awe and fun listening to his music in high school and I still do to this day. Creativity is a miracle to be shared.
My favorite musician, period. He might never know how his music has added value to the life of so many people. Big up Arjen!
Such an inspiring guy. I have a fairly vast array of other influences but I love his mentality when it comes to music, and how he's well connected with people but shuts himself off from the nonsense of the world.
A true artist, what a great guy!

Such a talented genius.
Hey Mr Arjem, my country is totally messy, thank you to give me scape through your art/music from Brazil situation.
I realy Love your music
I have the most utter respect to Arjen,a genuine person and so humble a master at what he does a musical genius
Love ya Arjen, hope you're feeling better nowadays. Best wishes.
We need a Ayreon movie!!
not about the band, about the lyrics....
Make a movie out of the album, The Source. A Sci-Fi!
You mean all of his albums. I mean pretty much every album aside from The Theory of Everything fits into one story line.
Heck, The Human Equation fits into a past life of the man in The Universal Migrator
Theory of Everything could fit in the whole story line if you consider that through the drugs, Forever sends visions to the Prodigy, but I still can't find a link between the whole storyline and Actual Fantasy.
Lithraem I would agree with you, if Arjen didn't state himself that he wanted to create something apart from that universe
He's a gift to humanity. I love his music since 1996. God bless him.
Wat een geweldig mooi mens! En niet te vergeten, fantastisch mooie muziek. Al jaren luister ik naar je composities en geniet er met volle teugen van. Dank je wel!!!
Thanx a lot for sharing this interview with this great musician and composer. Greetings from Buin, Chile.

Arjen Is The Best Person On This Earth To Be Around With \m/

Me too, I discovered them both at once, I listened to "The Theory of Everything" and I loved the album and I loved Tommy's voice.... :D
Leuk filmpje, Arjen. Het ga je goed.
wat een sympathieke gast
Really good insight. Exactly the things I wanted to hear from him.
You are an absolute lighthouse for me, and you were in the past, and will be in the future. And we are not alone.
Very Cool!! Thumps Up!
Sooo gooood!

Met alle respect en liefde, krijg wel een enorme Koos Koets vibe
You can always overcome depression, great lessons from great masters! :`)
I love him!
My god, the guy watches Blade Runner 24/7
Not that it's a bad thing.

Keep running Arjen, but don't forget to eat. Take care!
A world without Arjen...
What a terrible thought!

Genius!
G-E-N-I-U-S.

Heey grappig, ik krijg ook altijd muziek ideeen als ik aan het hardlopen ben
5:52
de man heeft nog wel een probleem met linker en rechter sokken (2:28).....LOL
What I want to be like in my career
Dave Mustaine crossed with Joey Belladonna🤨😀

Van zo'n muzikant kan je alleen maar houden, toch?
Lucassen is a sort of Sheldon Cooper but musician XD
Love this guy.
