I don't think Roy is appreciated enough in this genre. Have you ever heard a singer in a band like this that hits EVERY single goddamn note just like the record? He's a god.
+Zakk Potter Truth be told there are some concert recordings where Roy fails a bit. But I have yet to see Tommy have a bad performance. He's just fucking flawless. The band could not have found a better replacement.
+Johnny I just can't help but feel Roy has better technique. If you're not really paying attention though, Tommy sounds about just as awesome (and that's a huge compliment).
Simone Simons is one of the most incredibly lovely women in my opinion. Kamelot did very well with this performance. Much better than some other bands and soloists.
agreed. when tommy joined I was kind of happy because I find their voices similar. tommy is a brilliant vocalist but as time passed I realized how special roy is, he has sth different in his voice.
Yes and Tarja's fans can listen to her new music or go to her concerts and still they whining about NW! They can't understand how it feels when you probably will never see your favourite vocalist live :/
Ama Bos yes but Tarja is still singing and many people like her solo work. But I miss Tarja actually. Old Tarja from 1996-2001, her voice was more.. volumetric
Gracias a este vídeo conocí a Kamelot y a Epica, pude adentrarme más en el mundo del metal y desde entonces son incontables los buenos ratos que he pasado escuchando este género. Este vídeo es especial para mi ♥ Gracias :)
3:55, god that gorgeous head bang!! I used to consider Simone as not able to do head bang well. Now she's the second best female head banger in metal vocalists for me.
My speakers are still vibrating from that amazing sound being emitted at -02. .Kamelot rocks and may a thousand maggots devour anyone who dares click dislike!
I just can't believe that somehow Kamelot never crossed my radar screen until a couple weeks ago! I have always been a huge Queensryche fan, and I've always thought Geoff Tate was the best metal singer ever, but after a couple weeks of listening to Roy Khan I have a new personal favorite metal singer! Damn this guy is so frigging intense. And while Tommy is damn good, it just isn't the same without Roy.
So nostalgic recalling my old memories when i just started to practice rock and metal songs to stand at the same place with him and tell him that i have been admiring him so much from the bottom of my soul.
Roy Khan is such an underrated vocalist, he is phenomenal and I'm not exaggerating one bit. That looked like a lip-sync but it wasn't, he is that good, and these are some difficult notes and transitions he is hitting. Simone Simmons is breathtaking as always. Also, when Simone Simmons headbangs like that @3:56, time stands still..............
probably one of the best songs i have ever heard, and i mean that, i've easily listened to it at least 500 times in the past few months and have still not gotten tired of it. This song is what opened my eyes to this entire genre and completely changed my taste in music. And i don't know how many artists let alone songs can do that, so far this is the only one
Merely the sound of your voice Made me believe that that you were her Just like the river disturbs ...my inner peace Once I believed I could find Just a trace of her beloved soul Once I believed she was all Then she smothered my beliefs One cold winter's night I may follow her voice to the river Leave me for now and forever Leave while you can [Chorus:] Somewhere in time I will find you and haunt you again Like the wind sweeps the earth Somewhere in time When no virtues are left to defend You fall in deep [Post chorus:] I was a liar in every debate I rule the forces that fueled your hate When the cold in my heart leaves It comes to an end And quietly I'll go to sleep How could that first time recur When memories linger on and on What made me think you were her Helena is dead to all dead to all Nothing can bring her to life Don't pretend that I'll be loving you Once I believed she was gone I'm corrupted from within Leave me for now and forever Leave while you can [Chorus] [Post chorus] [Ariel] Follow me into the light Leave me tonight I've gone too far to begin all anew With someone like you [Marguerite] Like ice on a lake of tears I'll take you through Life fades in anew With someone like you [Chorus] [Post chorus]
she said in an interview that she really loved this song with all her heart, that she feels nervous whenever someone says "the haunting" ... I hate the fact that they have changed my beautiful Simone for Alissa... I like Alissa, but Siomkne was like the official member invited hahaha but seriously , Alissa always talks about Kamelot like she is the New member or something like that, she said that if you want her clean voice you can listen to her in her other band Kamelot, and I was like, wtffff?????? and just because Roy is gone, doesn't mean they have to say bay to Simone too... :( :( :( :( :( this is HER song
+Izayoi Higurashi I believe that's because Simone even being Palotai's wife it's hard to her follow them in every tour, Epica is a very busy band and also I think Simone was just a great Roy's friend and and fan too. After him leave she sang some times with Karevik, but she can't follow them always. Also they have the question about take partners who can bring to them new fans, and Alissa is the one at the moment. They tried Elisa, but Alissa is more famous, by her blue air and for those who likes extreme metal. It's a shame I think it too :/
Izayoi Higurashi I know it seems sad for us.. But I live in Norway amd have talked with Roy, and I can tell you that he could *not* have continued with the band. He would probably not even be alive by now.
He sounds a little like Geoff, but has more "power" behind it. Like a hybred between Geoff and Ray Alder from Fates Warning, Bruce from Maiden, And of course the first legend to bring this type of singing to metal, Rob Halford.
+s2k26 Their voices are definitely live. Roy's rhythm while singing the lyrics is definitely very different from any album or live version of that song, also his timbre is very varied throughout the song, an aspect that is often equalized in post-production (such as on album versions). A part of the song where this would be very noticeable is for example around 3:39. Gives me chills every time. On Simone Simon's part, apart from the two arguments that apply to Roy also apply to Simone, a point of proof would be her singing along to Roy at 1:35 - 1:50 which can not be found on any album or live recording.
I agree with the sentiment Borislav M., Roy is sorely missed and the new guy, meh, probably a great guy, but he doesn't do it for me. Can't fault him though, he had to replace the greatest metal singer ever. That's impossible.
Is the crowd on Quaaludes or something? The performers are giving it their all and the audience is just standing rigid in place going "Meh" with noodley arm waves. I'm not expecting mosh pit bananza or anything, but damn are these guys chaste.
How I love Khan's voice, and this song is AMAZING!! Simone is a greatest Mezzo soprano, her voice is wonderful, this feat with she is very, very good, sounds fantastic... I love this song, thnx for the video!! Grüße!!
Roy's voice from 3:40 to 3:53 with Thom's guitar in the background, i don't how to explain the feeling i get every time i hear it, it's like the world can't get any better. We miss you Roy xxxx
I literally watch this at least once a day. Would watch it more, but I think I would get a heart attack from hearing and seeing so much beauty in a small period of time.

I don't know, a lot of Kamelot's fans were pretty upset he left the band.
Zakk Potter Valeriy Kipelov
Lol of course it's meant to sound like the CD, no one wants to hear a perfect voice on the record and then show up to a dying cow.
+Zakk Potter Truth be told there are some concert recordings where Roy fails a bit. But I have yet to see Tommy have a bad performance. He's just fucking flawless. The band could not have found a better replacement.

I love Simone's "headacopter".
I wanna know how they do that without getting a sore neck
@@membribesrr Or at least get dizzy, I wouldn't be able to walk in a straight line after that LOL
@@VictoriaTraducciones Everytime I did it my neck and back were killing me on the day after LOL
@@membribesrr u get used to it 🤗
I love this song,simone headbanging is awesome!!!
One of the very few bands that sound as good and often better live.
Words cannot express how much i love this song.
best live vocalist period. we will miss him
D
He's back with Conception .
Simone Simons is one of the most incredibly lovely women in my opinion. Kamelot did very well with this performance. Much better than some other bands and soloists.
I like the recent Kamelot albums, but can't deny Roy's greatness. Wish him the best with his future projects!
Thanx God for one of the best melodic hard rock songs!
Roy Khan sings with all his heart. So emotional performance. ❤And those "to sleeeeeeeeeeep" and Simone at that moment..
Rooooy come back plz😢
Every time I come back to this song I'm reminded of how good Roy's voice is, holy shit.
People whine about Nightwhish dumping Tarja but Kamelot losing Roy Khan is by far a much bigger tragedy, regardless of how good Tommy is
agreed. when tommy joined I was kind of happy because I find their voices similar. tommy is a brilliant vocalist but as time passed I realized how special roy is, he has sth different in his voice.
The biggest tragedy of all was Lost Horizon losing Daniel Heiman.
Yes and Tarja's fans can listen to her new music or go to her concerts and still they whining about NW!
They can't understand how it feels when you probably will never see your favourite vocalist live :/
Tarja without Nightwish is as lame as Nightwish without Tarja, if not more.
Ama Bos yes but Tarja is still singing and many people like her solo work.
But I miss Tarja actually. Old Tarja from 1996-2001, her voice was more.. volumetric
First song where I ever heard Simone now Epica's my favourite band :) love Kamelot too
+Josh Beaton same for me
Same
Perfect song, perfect voice... Kamelot and Simone Simons.... Perfect combination *----*
Two amazing voices like that togheter is a true gift.
I keep coming back to 3:48. My GOD, she's beautiful!
Stunning 🔥🔥🔥
Gracias a este vídeo conocí a Kamelot y a Epica, pude adentrarme más en el mundo del metal y desde entonces son incontables los buenos ratos que he pasado escuchando este género. Este vídeo es especial para mi ♥ Gracias :)
Verga! a mi me paso lo mismo, la primera banda de metal que escuche fue Kamelot! y por ellos es que amo el metal jajaj
perfecto
Roy Khan the music world misses you please come back :-)
+Gordon Mullock Amen to that !!
HE IS BACK
Well, he Is back now!!!!!
..beautiful song!!!Loyal fan from the Czech Republic
We're calling you back KHAN!!! We need this voice, this talent!!! Awesome video....Awesome Khan and Simone!!!
Aaaah que saudade desse headbanging da Simone. Não sei o porque ela não faz mais assim 💔
Por su cuello :) Tampoco Tarja, es peligroso.
His voice... God bless you Roy!
This song is so good and Simone is very beautiful.
your voice was the only reason that i was listening about 10 hours kamelot every day pls COME BACK ROY!recover and come back we really need you!
A memory from one of Kamelot's greatest concerts! And the story behind this song is incredibly interesting!
3:55, god that gorgeous head bang!! I used to consider Simone as not able to do head bang well. Now she's the second best female head banger in metal vocalists for me.
Who's first to you? Floor??
It's really depressing knowing I'll never get to see these two in concert :(
Roy put so much emotion into his singing. I listened to the new album, and I must say the new guy makes a good other.
My speakers are still vibrating from that amazing sound being emitted at -02. .Kamelot rocks and may a thousand maggots devour anyone who dares click dislike!
roy + simone = best combination ever, their voices complement each other perfectly. Wish that Kamelot had done more songs with her
I just can't believe that somehow Kamelot never crossed my radar screen until a couple weeks ago!

I love Simone
Roy Khan is the best !!!! Come Back....a hug from Chile !!!!!!!!!
So nostalgic recalling my old memories when i just started to practice rock and metal songs to stand at the same place with him and tell him that i have been admiring him so much from the bottom of my soul.
awesome clear voice by Simone !!! simply stunning
INACREDITÁVEL!! SEJA AO VIVO, SEJA NO ESTÚDIO, QUANDO SÃO MÚSICOS EXCELENTES TAMPOUCO IMPORTAM!
Simone was amazing o. O
Is :-)
MrMyster1ous was
Julia Tassi is
what a voice he has
I could never grow tired of this, amazing
When people used to enjoy concerts instead of recording them on phones.
Sam Storms hehe good comment. Phones should be in our pockets on a concert. At least most of the time.
@@remibrox1066 YES
Great combination of voices \m/

holy shitttt, I'm so impressed. I've never seen anyone sing with power live this well

3:57 i love simone's headbanding!!! it's soo perfect :D it looks just like fire or something xD!!!
I love Kamelot with all my heart
This is so awesome, Roy Khans's bad assness and sick voice with Simone Simon's beauty and great voice, god so damn awesome :333
Roy Khan I feel bad coz I didn't get to see you live and never will...Incredible voice, such a loss for Kamelot!
Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that
that you were her
Just like the river disturbs
...my inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs
One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus:]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep
[Post chorus:]
I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep
How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all
dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I'm corrupted from within
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus]
[Post chorus]
[Ariel]
Follow me into the light
Leave me tonight
I've gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you
[Marguerite]
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
Life fades in anew
With someone like you
[Chorus]
[Post chorus]
thanks for the lyrics!!
Roy Khan you need to back man!!! :)
Amen!
Your wish is granted..........
He's back!
I want Roy back
Such a great song. Kamelot with Roy was simply immense.
Two great singers in an amazing song! What else can one ask for?

THE BEST
KAMELOT....LOVE ALL HIS MUSIC WITH A PASSION...SO COOL..THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US....U THE BEST....
I likey him alot!! His voice gives me chills! New fave band...I think YES!!!
2019
The male vocalist sounds much like Geoff Tate of Queensryche. Huge compliment by the way. This band is awesome.
dan hoerle
He sounds way better than Geoff Tater-Tot.
dan hoerle
To be fair, Kamelot does have some of Queensrÿche's influence in their music.

he always sings better live than the studio version which is funny
...and those deep breaths after every end of vocal lines.
2021 and i am still obsessed with this 🤟
This masterpiece aged like a fine wine 😎🖤
I am Brazilian and I love this song is great, very good!

o vocalista foda esse roy,pena que saiu
A Simone era novinha... Acho que ela estava meio ansiosa porque saiu quase sem se despedir do Roy rsrsrsrsrs
de certo pq ja tinha que sair pra fazer um show com o epica kkkk, tbm reparei isso
I'm just proud to be from the Netherlands and currently living in Norway... Roy + Simone = unbelievable epicness
Extraordinary... Simone makes it priceless :)
kamelot ya no es lo mismo sin khan!!!
There is something hot about a girl who can head twirl.
Is the crowd on Quaaludes or something? The performers are giving it their all and the audience is just standing rigid in place going "Meh" with noodley arm waves. I'm not expecting mosh pit bananza or anything, but damn are these guys chaste.
Roy Khan's voice is really impeccable!!!!!
Uhhh Gods that mans voice does things to me like no other. Miss him. Please come back Roy we miss your beautiful voice
I swear that man is god. And i don't even believe in god XD

How I love Khan's voice, and this song is AMAZING!! Simone is a greatest Mezzo soprano, her voice is wonderful, this feat with she is very, very good, sounds fantastic... I love this song, thnx for the video!!

Wow..What a collaboration!! I can hear them so clearly. That's amazing!
Dude has a GREAT voice.

When I can't find this live version, I always remember this users name. Thanks Kodrister!
wow, he is such an amazing vocalist! so is Simone, they're both so brilliant
its been years to hear his voice for the first time but still chills me...
1 of the GREATEST lives from the history of music.....
What a great voice he has!!

That couple makes this music even more beautiful.
Roy and Simone have the most amazing voices i have ever hurd in my life. No lie.
Roy e Simone ... nossa kara , sem palavras pra descrever o tão foda .... sinto falta do antigo Kamelot \o ... :/
Amazing duet!
I can't move my head like Simone, I get all dizzy! x)) Respect.
These guys should be way popular then they are right now They have 2 great singers great guitar players and that song was bad ass!!!
Amazing song from one of my favorite band ;)
The song title says it all, haunting, bloody genius!!!!!!!
Roy's voice from 3:40 to 3:53 with Thom's guitar in the background, i don't how to explain the feeling i get every time i hear it, it's like the world can't get any better. We miss you Roy xxxx
honestly, Roy Khan has THE most impressive voice I have ever heard in my life time.
GREAT duet!
I love how amazing Kamelot is live,I haven't actually seen the music video just because I always listen to the live version.
I literally watch this at least once a day. Would watch it more, but I think I would get a heart attack from hearing and seeing so much beauty in a small period of time.
I got to see them live in Chicago!! Best time
