Eye of Ra will blow your mind. Floor singing more with her sister and then a huge ensemble at the end. Just do it already.😁
Yes, please, I agree. It's an orgasmic experience to see that many great singers without the egotism of most modern day singers
Absolute Magic in that performance! :-)
I just love it when they sing together. Irene has such a powerful voice, it's really a pitty there isn't much activity from her as a vocalist.
@@olgahein4384 I adore Irene :D
And Arjen does his cameo!
Ayreon Age of Shadows - live and wild. 🤘🏻🤪
The little duet between Hansi and Floor is to die for.
He has to do it! No way around it! Not with those singers
@@ayrie09 It is a heavily truncated version of the song, but it's still great.
Marko Hietala in a kilt, nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more say no more!
Stop spoiling everything ^^
It's like Tank was invited to a party... and he doesnt know much people... maybe a couple by name... and then, he finds a friend and light up... is that Hansi ?
ahaaha... we all feel the same about Ayreon... gotta have internet to google every single singer and discover new worlds
One of the best comments about Hansi 🤣🤩
Everone's talking about Floor and of course I love my daily floorgasm, but I think another great female voice, who has done a whole album with Arjen and is on every show must be mentioned and this is Anneke van Giersbergen. When you see how much fun she has on stage and the voice of an angel. I would propose "Strange machines" live Pinkpop festival, or any other song of The Gathering or I-AH with Devin Townsend.
I don't think I've even heard Anneke sing yet!
TankTheTech I second Strange Machines!
Anneke has been an idol for young Floor by the way.
Oh yes and for sure "Valley of the queens" or "Comatose" in duet with Jorn Lande.
Garden of Emotions
And don't forget that the backing vocalists are all lead singers also.
In this song were (I think):
Lead singers:
Michael Mills (Toehieder)
Tommy Karrevik (Kamelot)
Hansi Kursch (Blind Gaurdian)
Maggy Luyten (Nightmare)
Floor Jansen (Nightwish, Revamp, After Forever)
Backing vocals:
Irene Jansen (Floor's sister)
Lisette van den Berg (Scarlet Stories)
Marcela Bovio (MaYaN, Stream of Passion)
Instrumentalists:
Ed Warby, drums
Johan van Stratum (Stream of Passion), bass
Joost van den Broek (After Forever (Floor's first band)), keys
Marcel Coenen, lead guitar
Ferry Duissens, guitar
Marcel Coenen is a beast of a guitarist. I have his albums with Lemur Voice, and Sun Caged.
Great. Thank You so much Pascal
@@sopwithsnoopy8779 Also his guitar solo in the Ayreon album The Source is probably one of my favourite solos ever
@@franciscoborjaescobarsuare5802 Yes! I love that one too. For everyone else it's in "The Dream Dissolves".
Lisette shines so much in this song, she and Hansi kills...
Arjen played on Castle Hall, Amazing Flight, and The Eye of Ra from this show.
Damian Wilson did an amazing job on And The Druids Turn To Stone...
Tommy Karevik was outstanding on Into The Black Hole...
Intergalactic Space Crusaders is a great rocking number too.
It was a truly amazing show.
You won't regret that purchase. :-)
Ayreon Universe is indeed an amazing concert. Of all your suggestions, which I agree with totally by the way, I think Intergalactic Space Crusaders is the most up Tank's alley.
Yeah. Druids Turn to Stone is a simple song, but Damien crushed it!
"Floor came out of f'n nowhere" Yep, that was my reaction the first time I watched that video!
Wow
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me!!!! *sing*
The new Ayeron song "Daniels decent into transitus"..... Tommy Karevik and Simone Simons...,. magic...
And I´ll keep nagging: Avatar :)
Avatar! Yes!
This song is on the same album as The Day That the World Breaks Down. It's a great album
yes, "the source" is the best ayreon album i would say, i love the sound and lyrics of it. tayscott has a full lyric video on the album which makes it very easy to follow the story of the album and also know who sings what
@@Deilwynna i think its one of the best. nr1 for me is the human Equation.
@@MajorTom696 Top 3 for me with The Human Equation and 01011001
(I had to google that)
@@MajorTom696 The Human Equation for me too. The Theory Of Everything is underrated
HEY TANK, THAT'S FLOOR AND ARJEN HAS STAGEFRIGHT AND IRENE IS FLOOR'S SISTER AND ASKNDJFSFSKFN *spamspamspamspam*
In seriousness, great reaction, as always.
😂😂😂
And it's pronounced Eerayneh 😂
Yup that pretty much sums up all the reactions you'll find under these Ayreon reaction videos ;-)
And occasionally you get Arjen himself replying to your videos. How much time does this man have in his day?? 😆
Yeah, right. Go ahead, make fun of people who try their best to provide some background information to the reactor. Most people only know how to complain when a reactor watches the wrong video...
"Im gonna order this... right now"
ME TOO!
Same.
This song has one of my favorite things in it, the call and answer between Tommy and Hansi. I'd love to see more of that in any song.
No worries about not knowing all the players and singers but that's how I started too, Ayreon is one giant hub of artists to discover, that's how I found out about Floor, Irene, and Magali Luyten (Raspy singer) back in 2004-2007
I've discovered Oceans of Slumber because of Arjen so... thank you as always
I found out about Ayreon because of Floor. lol. Ayreon is so out of this world. Wow.
Random viewer: Tank did you know.......
Tank: Watch the damn video!!
Just want to mention: I just love how you have Valhalla running as background music. And also, Hansi should be easily recognizable from afar. He has this very specific body posture that makes me wonder if he never has neck pains.
Thank you for this reaction too, Arjen is so extremely shy, when he held a speach at this show, you could literally see him sweat buckets. Didn't stop him from even singing live there. My personal request for another song of Ayreon would be: "The Eye Of Ra" from this same show. It's epic in a special way. It's really such a pitty that Simone (from Epica) couldn't make it, that would have really made it like a family gathering backstage. She too, has been with Ayreon for a long time, including the freshly released new Ayreon album, as the Angel of Death.
I envy everybody who was at this show. It must have been an amazing experience.
There are so many great songs on the Ayreon Universe DVD. One of my favourites is "Magnetism" with Tommy, Anneke and also Marco from Nightwish.
The shows are so rare that they sell out in minutes and people from all over the world will travel to see it.
Sorry, can't resist. Yes the shows where amazing both this one and Electric castle. Though to me the absolute coolest thing is how all the artist are just having a lot of fun on stage with eachother. It's so cool to watch and be a tiny part of while there.
Apart from the concerts at 013 I know that at least 1 time they also performed at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium. Half a year after the Universe concerts. And while fact-checking myself I just found out that they will be again at GMM next year (If we can have festivals again by then)
More fun facts:
- Joost and Marcel Coenen were both in prog metal band Sun Caged before Joost joined After Forever.
- Johan van Stratum and Marcela Bovio were both in Stream Of Passion, a symphonic metal band originally formed around Marcela and Arjen to continue their successful collaboration after Ayreon’s The Human Equation.
- Marcel, Joost, Ed, Floor & Irene were also part of the Star One - Live On Earth tour in 2002. Arjen performed the entire show. Star One is a sci-fi themed project of Arjen, with songs based on films like Star Gate, Star Wars, Dune etc. This show was also recorded and released. It also was my first taste of Arjen’s music, though I unfortunately didn’t get to see them live back then. I still listen to these recordings regularly (and I prefer the live versions).
Merlin's Will ... won't regret it.
Live performance from the same Ayreon Universe show ;)
ua-cam.com/video/HZ61Y1BqY-8/v-deo.html
The entire Final Experiment album!
Still the best live concert I've been too, so glad my friends dragged me along for this. And the crowd was just soooo into it, there were people flying in from all across the world to be there!
I agree, this performance was amazing, maybe even better than the studio versions. So much energy from all the performers. I think it was even better than ITEC Live, mostly because I did not really like Marcel Singor's improvisations.
Man, I would have killed to have been there knowing what I know now.
@@TankTheTech If you are going to buy it, you should consider the bluray (too). Arjen went great lengths to make sure to get the best quality.
If you want to see Arjen himself on stage, check out "Ayreon - Amazing Flight (Electric Castle Live And Other Tales)" from the most recent live show. He performs his role of Hippie from the Electric Castle album in its entirety.
Star One live DVD he's on stage during the entire show
Second that. Another great one featuring the master himself is ‘Castle Hall’ from the same concert. And to answer the question: Arjen likes to create the music, but he does not want to to perform on stage. Although he seems to enjoy it, he has great fear before going on stage. Unfortunately on the album Into the Electric Castle he plays the role of the hippie, so in the other concert (Electric Castle Live And Other Tales) he has to do a few songs!
Or anything by Bodine or Vengeance (but prepare for grainy stuff from the 80s :D)
Getting PUMPED for Toehider! I don't know how I stumbled across Mike 10 years ago considering we're on opposite sides of the world, but SO MANY Toehider songs are linked to such nostalgia for me.
Watching or listening to Ayreon can be seriously damaging to the bank account.
My youngest son heard one song, and now has itemised lists of vinyl, CD and blu-ray of the entire catalogue, to request for Christmas, from each family member. I'm pretty sure he has some merch on the list too.
And I think Nuclear Blast are going to do well out of him as well.
I daren't ask what the eldest son has already, or how much he's spent that he can't afford to.
I introduced him to Nightwish. I daren't play him any Ayreon, but I suspect I won't be able to stop him once son 3 has his purchases arriving, and I may be too late anyway thanks to Spotify.
I guess I did something right. I'm not sure my wife agrees.
I like seeing reactions to bands I love but reactions to a new band and falling in love with them is even better
Evil back groud vocals too. This is a musical prog, metal and funny performance. even the subject is dark. Great show.
The Eye of Ra is pretty fun to watch, as the last song of the show, everyone comes to the stage, and the scale of the project becomes really obvious.
And I'm completely offended that you didn't identify each of the keyboards!
Great closing song. Damn, all the harmonies at the end.
More Fun Facts just to show how connected this segment of the European metal scene is:
1) Floor Jansen and Joost van den Broek were together in After Forever (Floor's first band); Joost contributed to Floor's second band ReVamp; AND is currently working with her on SUPER-SECRET solo material for Floor :D ua-cam.com/video/T68mp-Fn9Rk/v-deo.html
2) Tommy Karevik was just getting settled in with Kamelot as they were supporting Nightwish on the North American leg of the Imaginarium Tour when the Denver Debacle happened: www.blabbermouth.net/news/nightwish-in-denver-a-night-without-anette-olzon/
One week later Floor was brought in to finish the rest of the Imaginarium Tour with Nightwish.
3) Marcela Bovio (Stream of Passion, MaYaN) is singing "backup" with Floor's sister Irene and has worked with Kamelot and Floor has sung in concert with MaYan.
4) Floor is tall (6'0" or 6'1" depending on who you read) but Arjen is taller (6'8"); he has been bringing Floor into Ayreon/Star One projects since 2000.
5) Non-Ayreon connected factoid: After Forever toured (as support) with Nightwish back in 2002; Tuomas and Marko hint at that when in interviews they note that after Tarja's dismissal they had toyed with bringing Floor on then, but didn't want to break up After Forever to do it.
Awesome reaction Tank. I did the same thing and immediately bought the Blu-ray after seeing this song myself. Age of Shadows is a must reaction, it has a very fun cast of singers and is of course a great song as well.
I'd get married to this dvd if possible, seriously, it's the best! And of course I'd sell my soul for an Ayreon's concert. :(
Thanks for this one! Please keep them coming and help us with Chase, he needs this!
That whole album is so good. "Sea of Machines" and "Run! Apocalypse Run!" are such bangers.
When you got the inclination, I recommend Æther Realm - Slave to the Riff or The Sun, The Moon, The Star
Before I forget, the 3 angels are very accomplished singers. All of them are worth investing time into listening to on their own. They might not take the front in this collaboration but that is more of an attribute to their professionalism and devotion to the art.
I love Ayreon live! Age of shadows is another great song! Or Valley of the queens. But they are all great, so just watch the whole thing 😁
"This is a ridiculous production 😲"
hum hum... *cue Into The Electric Castle* 😁
Not to mention they hauled that video wall to the marquee at Graspop in 2018 for a festival gig 😂 but yes, I'd love to see the reaction to Castle Hall or Amazing Flight
Everybody dies... but at least we'll go with a smile after this performance.
Irene and Floor look so freaking similar...I actually thought it was Floor at first and wondered why she'd be singing backup. Apparently, she has some pipes, too. Runs in the family (as does the height)!
It was a true privilege to see that concert live! Luckily Arjen is a Dutch citizen and so am I, so I was very fortunate to buy tickets real quick. You won’t regret to buy this DVD at all, enjoy the world of Ayreon Universe live‼️
This was incredible to see live! Fun fact: The moving lights on the sides were/are called Wilma and Betty :')
Also, Marko was also present during this show 💜
Ayreon-Magnetism, with Marco!
Tommy is also in a band called Seventh Wonder. If you want a long song: (30mins) The Great Escape. And for a tear jerking album: Mercy Falls (concept album).
Dude, yes. Mercy Falls is amazing. "One Last Goodbye" always gets me...
@@BryonAutry Me too. Do you think @Tankthetech would do the full album? Because once you start the intro you can't stop. At least that's how I look at it.
@@senditkevin I mean, obviously no one should put words in his mouth, but so far full album reactions haven't been a thing on his channel so I am not assuming that is something he may do, but I could be wrong.
Of course since the album tells a continuous story it would be the ideal listening method, but "The Source" does the same thing and he has heard 2 songs separate from the album so far, and the songs can definitely stand on their own as well.
I think the most likely scenario is maybe listening to a few of the most popular songs sometime in the future (maybe) and then eventually (maybe) listening to the full album on his own if he likes the songs enough.
It seems rough, being a reactor and having to hold yourself back from listening to things so that you can hold them for future videos, I certainly don't have the strength to do that, myself.
@@BryonAutry Yeah I agree. And maybe after listening to the whole album give a review on it.
@@senditkevin Well, another reason it's not likely he may do it is gear is his thing, so he'd most likely prefer to watch official live videos. Thankfully Seventh Wonder have a live DVD "Welcome To Atlanta (Live 2014)" where they play Mercy Falls in it's entirety. Idk, I would certainly suggest asking him in the suggestion section on Discord, and see what he thinks.
The Ayreon concert blurays of the past few years are phenomenal. So much great stuff to mine there.
Mike Mills was dressed as the robot TH-1, hence al the wires and lights coming out of his costume. You met his character in the first Ayreon video you reacted to. Great stuff!
I love this video so much, I'm glad Tank's done it. Arjen's work, and that of his collaborators, is unreal.
Thank you for more Ayreon! I've been listening to his music for years and the guests have been a gateway to other bands. This entire live show is amazing, some personal favorites are Dawn of a Million Souls, Age of Shadows, Eye of Ra (Star One), Looser, and Computer Eyes. (Personally I like the album version of Looser better, and Computer eyes is longer on the album.) Looser would be a good live/album comparison song, BIG difference in the ending singing style.
If you want to see a BIG video wall check out Within Temptation Live Black Symphony, look for the 1080p version. Recommendations: The Howling, or Stand My Ground. Personally I like their older albums Enter and Mother Earth better than the new stuff. (Arjen did a solo on the Mother Earth album).
And to add my other recommendation, Riverside - Wasteland Live. Great progressive metal with lots of gear shots.
Definitely a great recommendation since they were backed by a full symphonic orchestra and choir. I myself would recommend "The promise" that makes full use of the orchestra and lets not forget the angelic voice of Sharon den Adel. One of the members of the holy trinity of Dutch metal goddesses. ua-cam.com/video/39k1IQoeLAU/v-deo.html
I agree with Within Temptation's first few being their best. I never knew of the Arjen solo!
Ayreon is one of those super-groups that I wish everyone could experience in person - I was lucky to be able to go to the third show they played in 2017 (the first two shows sold out in minutes, so they added a third one on Sunday that wasn't filmed. It was great when Arjen came out in the end to thank everyone and could be as uncensored as he wanted :P ).
Also if you liked the Ayreon Angels, I recommend checking out Marcela Bovio's current project "Dark Horse White Horse" .
From this concert, songs that are often reacted to are (spoilers ahead)
Merlin's Will, Valley of the Queens, Star of Sirrah, Eye of Ra (Floor factor)
Intergalactic Space Crusaders (fun factor)
One song I like that is rarely reacted to is Loser (Michael Mills and background choir factor!)
Such a wild song with so much talent in it. The highlight for me was ❤️ Floor ❤️ right at the end. I literally jumped up out of my chair :D
Hey Tank, big thanks from the Netherlands for highlighting Ayreon here. My suggestion for your next Ayreon reaction would be the song The Eye of Ra which is also featured on the Universe DVD. You'll get to see each and every musician who appeared during that performance.
so this is 2017. Nightwish is on hiatus, having wrapped the "Vehicle of Spirit" tour in 2016, and before the "Decades" tour in 2018. does Floor take some time off to relax? nope. she had a baby, recorded her parts for Ayreon, then performed with them live on stage. think she also recorded and released her solo album as well during this period. 2019, world shattering performance on Beste Zangers, recorded new Nightwish album, and, solo tour throughout Europe until Covid shut down the world. she is living embodiment of "ride it till the wheels fall off." if you're looking for something new to react to, Floor released a video for her song, "While Love Died", from her hard rock album she cowrote with the guitarist from Pagan's Mind, whose name i'm not even going to attempt.
Holy Sh*t. Tank, I just listened to Epica (ft. Floor Jansen) doing SANCTA TERRA live. O M G. I feel like Kylie Minogue 'cause I can't get it out of my head. This is incredible.
I must have watched the blu ray of this 10x in a row after first putting it in and a zillion since, amazing start to finish.
There is besides this Ayreon Universe another live show, also recorded on blue -ray/ dvd, it's the live performance of Ayreon's iconic album Into the Electric Castle in 2019. That show is called Into the Electric Castle and other Tales..Again a formidable cast at this show too. Check it out! 🤟
Magalia Luyten was incredible in Beautiful Sin, Metalwaves is an awesome song to hear the power in her voice. Closer to My Heart is a good song too that's softer, and Lost is just great. She's also heavily displayed on the song Ride the Comet from this show.
For Ayreon, Oooo boy, you can do Age of Shadows or River of Time, those are good tracks to listen to that was from this show and I think you'll enjoy one of the guest singers from it ;) .
Isis and Osiris is a fun one from Electric Castle Live, I also recommend Amazing Flight, Castle Hall, and The Two Gates from that show as well.
You have got to listen to The Druids Turn To Stone as sung by Damian Wilson.
Have been there live at the first evening, in the 4th or 5th row. It was mindblowing and mesmerizing. Thank you for this great reaction!
This is the melt pot of almost every of my favorite singers of the last Ayreon video. Just everyone in those projects has so much skill and.. Yeah no words to describe them.
@TankTheTech You should watch 'Behind the scenes' from this DVD to met the story about that video-wall :D And check 'Eye of Ra' from Ayreon Universe and/or Star One - Live on Earth
Coming next, Age of Shadows Live at Tilburg 2017. MUST!
That was a fun Song and really interesting stage show. I really enjoyed your facts and breakdowns of what was going on with the stage show because it just made it more interesting. Great reaction, have a good one Tank!
The amount of chills and goosebumps i have and still have listening to this band and their performers
Need to back in time to one of the earlier Arjen projects like Star One. Russell Allen and Damian Wilson are featured prominently on there. Irene and Floor had backing roles as well. Arjen actual played that show as well.
Here’s a good starting point....m.ua-cam.com/video/H3q7lwl5nSQ/v-deo.html
Hey, Tank, so have you bought the Ayreon Universe DVD? I recently got into Ayreon VERY MUCH, bought this thing, and we watched it with my colleagues. WHAT A SHOW, MAN!!! The amount of talent on that stage!!! And watching the behind the scenes after - they felt like a family?? You could feel it from their performance! It added something more to their effort! And Arjen - not only he is a great musician and composer, but he is such also a nice guy! No wonder everybody wants to work with him! For me, this is a discovery of a decade. Loving this so much!
One of our community members, Jacq, was kind enough to send it to me and I've watched it so many times. Let my dad borrow it so he can see it too, and I don't know if I'll ever get it back. Haha
@@TankTheTech Pity you didn´t record yourself listening - I would love to see you when all the people came up on the stage for the last chorus of the last song. I had goosebumbs even in places I didn´t expect to have. :) I don´t think I have seen a more grandiose ending of a show ever with all those stars singing their hearts out.
Check out Age Of Shadows (featuring, well I don't wanna spoil it) from the same concert.
Please, more Ayreon! Like Castle Hall from Into the electric castle live and other tales!
I know there isnt much live material from Ayreon, but there are so many awesome songs! To me it's like every Ayreon song is the epic theme song of an over the top awesome sci-fi movie.
Dawn of a million souls is my personal favorite! Haha.
Definitely looking forward to your Toehider reaction. I recommend the song "Concerning Lix & Fairs" or "Whatever Makes You Feel Superior"
So I will say. This was an amazing reaction video. But I'll be back with a more detailed comment when my jaw gets picked up off the Floor. Because holy hell, Ayreon is amazing.
Dude, it is soooooo good. Haha
Hahaha, you can't even write floor without capitalizing the F any more S1lient. I see a slight (but understandable) fixation forming 😂
@@Boerke oh that was 100% intentional. The joke was there haha
I first started listening to Ayreon in the late 1990's. Love watching people watching Ayreon getting into Ayreon now.
Nice react man, thanks! My thought would be - get the setlist, decide if you'll do any other react vids from it, and then just spend quality time watching the rest of this fabulous show. From the prologue to the bows I've been happily shocked how well Arjen's genius translated to live performance. Truly enjoyable art. So do yourself the favor and enjoy it!
You might already know this, but there is a second Live Ayreon Blu-Ray which is Electric Castle Live and Other Tales, it came out a year later and it is a performance of the entire 1998 album of Into the Electric Castle. Arjen appears a lot in that one, since he is one of the major characters in the story. I recommend checking it out.
Marcel Coenen on guitar shredding it!
The background singers are Marcela Bovio, Lisette van de Berg and Floor's sister Irene. Arjen appears near the end of the concert for 3 songs and a 12 minute speech which is awesome
With ayreon have partecipated floor Jansen and Marko Hietala too
Can't go wrong with some live Ayreon!
If you revisit Ayreon again: Two Gates (Electric Castle and Other Tales concert) or The Castle Hall (this same show or Electric Castle and Other Tales concert) are amazing!!!!
In the Castle Hall version of this show you can see Arjen playing
Actually you can do every song from this show, since they are all great! It's a best of, remember ;) And Arjen gives a speech during the show, which is on youtube, where he explains some stuff about the screen and the production. Fun info. He did sing some songs during this show, like Amazing flight in space. Next stop: Age of Shadows or Eyes of Ra? So after Nightwish wednesday, now you know it's time to do a Ayreon Friday :P Because after this show, there are more live shows: The Theatre Equation and Into the Electric Castle and other stories.
I was waiting for the Floor reveal. You did not disappoint, sir
Ayreon - Star Of Sirrah Live that has surprise as well and it kicks. :) Bonus Arjen is on par with Steve Wilson for 5.1 mixing so you will love the blu ray.
I came back to watch this again. I have never checked out Toehider but finally got around to it and listened to a few of their songs so am throwing out a suggestion for the recent upload of How do Ghosts Work live
All of Ayreons live stuff is awesome. If you wanna check out some older song, there is a live performance of the eye of ra that´s pretty damn sweet, and one of intergalactic space crusaders (Both are from this show I believe).
They´re performed by Ayreon but it´s from an older project of his called star one.
If you´re checking out Kamelot, I strongly recommed their song Sacrimony, live with Tommy of course :)
Thanks for your reaction! (and your Tank's tips, of course)
Maybe you could create Ayreon's Thursdays 👀
Oh man, I'm soooooo glad you're doing Toehider next week! Mike really deserves way more attention, he's a huge talent and Toehider songs are nothing less than amazing! They're also pretty different from each other, make sure to check out more than just one song: you're in for such a treat! Big hugs from Italy, keep rockin'!
Great reaction, Arjan is on the last 3 songs of this show. On the show last year, The 20th anniversary of Into The Electric Castle he is more prominent because he plays the role of the hippy there. Of you react to An Amazing Flight In Space you Will see him sing and play guitar!
Garden of Emotions - live, he sings live on that one, and also it's an amazing song
Arjen joins the other players and singers in a couple of songs at the end of this concert. He plays a more prominent role as an actual character in their latest DVD "Electric Castle Live and Other Tales" which as the title suggests, they play the entire "Into the Electric Castle" album (which is one of Ayreon's finest) and a couple of songs from other Arjen's projects...If you want to see Arjen live, check out "Garden of Emotions" or "Amazing Flight" from the Electric Castle DVD
Thanks for another great Ayreon reaction! For more epic Michael Mills performances please check out Ayreon - Day sixteen: Loser, live version from the same show
The lead guitarist (long hair) Marcel Coenen plays in metal band Godscum, the other guitarist Ferry Duijssens plays in symphonic band VuuR (with Anneke van Giersbergen) , back vocalist and sister of Floor Jansen, Irene Jansen plays in Star One (another band/project of Lucassen).
Mike Mills high note at the start destroys me every goddamn time...just...such a high mixed belt, i CAN'T
Great Reaction Tank. If I can request a Toehider song, look at the play through version of The Giants who walked with men. And from Ayreon please do Intergalactic Space Crusaders!
This was the second live performance :)
The first one was The Theater Equation, of the album The Human Equation. performed in 2015.
My first reaction was “yes, buying this stuff”. Uplifting, amazing.
Age of Shadows - from the same show. I think you will really like it! Or...River of Time.
There's been some fun features in Ayreon songs including bruce dickinson and Marko Hietela as well
I love Maggy! She have done very good songs with her now ex-band Nightmare
For this year they wanted to play at Loreley/Rhine. In April, I think. I tried to get Tickets, but than there was Corona.
Thanks! More Ayreon please. Ayreon Day twelve Trauma Studioversion. One of the best Ayreon tracks. Important that it's the albumversion since Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth wasn't in the liveversion of the song.
I’m watching the live Ayreon Universe from the beginning right now. It would be cool to react to them all one by one in order. It’s basically sci-fi musical theater with each performance a small part of the story performed by an all star cast. It’s pretty sick. I’m loving it. Marko is in it too.
ua-cam.com/play/PLJGn3wi7b7b606GfoKAdOgm6rtX9OliRc.html
Here’s the whole show track by track. Lyrics are in the subtitles.
Just finished the whole show. All 28 tracks of it. One of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen. Just awesome.
Whe i was 14 a friend of mine introduced me to Ayreon. He also was and still is a musician. I love the album "into the electric castle"
It's like when i was a kid and i listned to childre stories on cd's, but with an adult theme and great music.
"The castle hall" from this album is one of my favorite songs ever
You should check out Tommy Karevik's original band, Seventh Wonder (He's actually still with them). That band is amazing!
So excited for Toehider next week!!
The three background singers are all solo singers as well and deserve more credit than they often get.
Lisette van den Berg is singer with Scarlett Stories and I recently discovered this band and the one album they made. I think it is very good. Her voice is pretty powerfull, and she also has a master degree in biology.
Marcela Bovio has a long history with Arjen, they both founded Stream of Passion. She has an amazing vocal range and plays violin as well. She also writes her own music.
Irene Jansen is also a great singer, but seems to be in the shadow of Floor in the Ayreon performances, but she has a very powerful voice as well.
I am glad you mentioned them in the outro though.
this is so much...that was why Arjen thought it couldn't be done. If you get the DVD there is great behind the scenes for this concert where they discuss everything about the show and the performers. The screen and robotic lights were additions when they realised the ticket sales were going gangbusters and they could afford a bit more bling! :D Arjen has stagefright but does perform on a couple of songs. He plays a more significant part in the live Electric Castle show where he is able to be the hippy he is!
