It's funny to hear Floor as being "from Nightwish". Arjen's been working with her (and her sister Irene) since Floor was 19. She's a core member of one of his other projects, 'Star One' (sci-fi prog metal). You noted Mike Mills in particular, and it is definitely worth checking out his own project 'Toehider'. Suggestions for that might be 'How Much For That Dragon's Tooth?', 'How Do Ghosts Work?', or 'Concerning Lix & Fairs'. His style can vary quite significantly, and his range is incredible.
Now you need to go Ayreon Live - 'Ayreon Universe Live' is a great entry into the whole Ayreon Universe as it is like a best of. Everybody dies from 'Ayreon Universe', follows on from this song and the live version is amazing and so much fun.
Here is a list of the composer and singers in order of appearance: Arjen Lucassen - Composer - Dutch singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist musician and record producer best known for his long-running progressive metal/rock opera project Ayreon. James Labrie - Lead singer for Dream Theatre. Tommy Karevik - Lead singer of Kamelot and Seventh Wonder. Tommy Rodgers - Lead singer of Between the Buried and Me. Simone Simons - Lead singer of Epica. Nils K. Rue - Lead singer of Pagan's Mind and also worked with Eidolon. Tobias Sammet - Lead singer of Edguy & Avantasia. Hansi Kürsch - Lead singer of Blind Guardian and Demons & Wizards. Mike Mills - Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and main songwriter for Toehider. Russell Allen - Lead singer of Symphony X and Allen/Lande. Michael Eriksen - Lead singer of Circus Maximus. Floor Jansen - Lead singer of After Forever, ReVamp & now Nightwish. Instrumentalists Joost van den Broek (ex-After Forever) - grand piano and electric piano Maaike Peterse (Kingfisher Sky) - cello Ed Warby - drums Ben Mathot - violin Jeroen Goossens (ex-Pater Moeskroen) - flute, wind instruments Arjen Anthony Lucassen - electric and acoustic guitars, all other instruments (composer) Next I would suggest reacting to the performances at Ayreon Universe concert, especially the following Intergalactic Space Crusaders, River of Time, Merlin's Will, Valley of the Queens, Ride the Comet, Star of Sirrah, And the Druids Turn to Stone, Age of Shadows & Everybody Dies.
Hello. There are some musical projects that include many different musicians and singers at the same time, "Ayreon" as you, both, have seen but also the "Avantasia" live shows. BTW Arjen Lucassen from Ayreon is a musical genius. Greetings from Italy
This is a true Masterpiece! Excellent casting of singers, and then there's Floor (❤👸). I really envy SIR Russell Allen's raspy voice. The genius behind all this is (The Tall Hippie Dude), Arjen Anthony Lycassen, the tallest known rock musician (203 cm). Greetings from Finland! ⛄👍
It occurred to me after seeing John de Lancie playing the part of the being dragging characters from Earth's history and testing them that Arjen Anthony Lucassen may have been thinking of Q from Star Trek Next Generation. Any thoughts?
@@mutantplants1 Oh yes he did as he is a huge star trek fan.. This is what Arjen said: Arjen: "When I was thinking about the narrator of Electric Castle, who is an omnipotent being toying with mankind... that's Q, totally, and I started to wonder if I had based that character on Q when I made the album (laughs). I approached John de Lancie through an old email address, and I got an answer from him saying he would run it by his manager, who said no, they weren't going to do some hard rock / metal opera. But, John's wife - who was on Star Trek as well - is a musician, so they checked Ayreon out together on UA-cam and they loved it. John said to his manager, 'Hey, this is my rock opera. I'm 70. How many more chances will I have to do this?'" "The next thing was Skyping with John, and that was scary. I grew up on The Next Generation; every week I was waiting for it and Q was my hero. And there I was Skyping with one of my idols. It was very scary, but he's such a nice guy that after a few minutes I was okay. He was so interested and wanted to know everything, and he wanted to write all his own narration for the show. And he did. He worked on it for half a year and it was just incredible. It was a very emotional thing for me to meet John and to work with him."
@@jaapblaauw3735 Thank you for this. I just Googled it and found this interview. I should have known Arjen was a big Star Trek fan since most of his albums tell stories of time and space. Again, thanks. You made my Sunday morning.👍
I second this, the official lyric video animation specifically. : > It's more of this same story, and it's to the same production quality as this video, I remember when they came out together.
I first want to thank you for not talking through the song. Lucassen has really good transitions from one part to another. They deserve being listened to, and not talked over. You were good on that. In '71 I got into Zappa, Tull, Gentle Giant. Why did it take me another 50 years to find Lucassen? Add Neal Morse and I have my favorite 5 groups.
Buckle up because we are going on a trip into the world of Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon, Ambeon, Star One, Guilt Machine, Gentle Storm, Stream of Passion) aka Ayreon Universe. Enjoy the music!! next stops: Ayreon - Everybody Dies (Ayreon Universe) ua-cam.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/v-deo.html Ayreon - Star of Sirrah (Universe) ua-cam.com/video/3dEHQNAZsIo/v-deo.html Ayreon - Intergalactic Space Crusaders (Universe) ua-cam.com/video/mDjomu33Xzc/v-deo.html Ayreon - The Eye Of Ra (Universe) ua-cam.com/video/odcO0SciTUY/v-deo.html Ayreon - Twisted Coil (Electric Castle And Other Tales) ua-cam.com/video/gcHn0kCgmAs/v-deo.html
Hi 👋 from the UK 🇬🇧 the first female singer Simone simons is from the symphonic metal band Epica ♥ Well worth checking out Epica unleashed live retrospect show (full orchestra on stage with the band) Epica Kingdom of heaven part 3 omega alive official music video
this was released in 2017. so recorded some time in 2016, when Floor was On Tour with NW, recently Married to Hannes from Sabaton, and probably a few months pregnant with their daughter Freya. Ms Thing is the living embodiment of "Ride it till the wheels Fall Off".
Arjen indeed has live songs where all singers come together in a 'finale', last song of the concert. Examples are 'The eye of ra', "Another time another space', and more
Hi Steph n Jay, the first female singer that you saw in the video Simone Simons is the lead singer with Dutch Symphonic Metal band EPICA, absolutely incredible band, here is EPICA live in 2017 at the Zenith in Paris, EPICA - Beyond The Matrix - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
It was funny that when you mention Mike, the Mike with many faces, you said "on a on" (I don't know Why), but it was funny for me because that Mike (Mike Mills) has a song named "On and on". Yeah! This is an amazing collaboration. Arjen Lucassen has the magic of gathering such an increíble amount of talented people in his projects that we only have to Thank to the universe for having gaiven us the oportunity of finding him and them. Check live versions that are amazing too and look for the projects of his collaborators: Toehider, Blind Guardian, Avastasia, Epica, Kamelot, etc.
Ayreon Live, Everybody Dies, Intergalactic Space Crusaders but anything Arjen Lucassan does is on another level. Great job, I am a old Metal/rock head and your story on getting the Encyclopedia Brittanica . My mom shopped at the A&P, she got the entire collection of encyclopedias each book starting with A and finishing of course Z including the dictionary and wooden bookshelf. It was a special A & P ran, each week they offered each volume for $1.99. We were also poor but she never missed a week she got the complete collection plus the wooden bookshelf to hold all the books. It was 2 shelves wooden, stained in maple or mahogany. again for $1.99. My mom and my best friend mom were the only ones that I know that went and got the entire collection over 26 weeks. My brother and I used them all the way thru college. Still have them but even though they are outdated and worn the memories of my mom collected them is priceless. Stay Safe Rock On!🙏🤘🤘🤘
Definite Jethro Tull flavour in this. Not just instrumentally, but in composition structure. Rick Wakeman maybe too. Arjen seems like a Kansas fan too.
"it told a story, from beginning to end". Well, yes, but also no. This was only the beginning. Getting to the end is going to take several albums worth of excellent music
Dad sits in his chair .and hears his family arguing on what to see on family night out , :Mother , i want to see a musical , :teendaugther i want to go to a rock concert , : son i want to see a si-fi movie. Father has enough Ayreon it is .
It tells a story . The title is ominous. Most people I believe want to see a brighter tomorrow. Steph had me laughing talking about anything after F, it's to the library. I laughed because I have to say we're fortunate. We had A thur Z. Peace to y'all.
also you have 11 metal singers from other groups like Dream Theater, Simone Simons of Epica, The Symphony X Singer Russell and Nightwish's Floor Jansen
Floor and Simone are very close friends and they both lead a band that's Symphonic Metal Floor Nightwish and Simone Epica the only big difference is Epica is a bit harder because of their growler Mark singing style with Simone's angelic tone and also they perform a lot of times with full Orchestras and choirs unlike Nightwish who uses the tracks
Since you mentioned the terminator you should now check-out Star One " Fate of Man" that is another band by Arjen (same guy as this)and the song is based on the movie and features Brittany Slays from Unleash the Archers!!!!
This Ayreon (Arjen Lucassen) is a genius at making stories. I definitely feel the resemblance to Freddy Mercury & Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". But I would suggest you to watch Ayreon Live and especially from "The Electric Castle" Live In Tilburg 2019 concert. Actually I can't make a choice because every song has its star singer/musician, such as Anneke van Giersbergen, Simone Simons, Floor Jansen or Marcella Bovio (and many more) and I now only name the female vocalists.: - "Everybody Dies" ua-cam.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/v-deo.html and/or: - "And The Druids Turned To Stone" ua-cam.com/video/lR-foGKsus0/v-deo.html - "Valley of the Queens" ua-cam.com/video/TbebO5BZi-I/v-deo.html - "Gardens of Emotions" ua-cam.com/video/w6rBHaOmXMo/v-deo.html - "Isis and Osiris" ua-cam.com/video/Z6YFbgMzkZY/v-deo.html - Star One: "Valley of the Queens" and "Isis and Osiris", "The Two Gates" (ft. Floor & Irene Jansen) ua-cam.com/video/oW_IbE5qMxA/v-deo.html Actually you should listen both whole 'Star One' and 'Electric Castle' concerts.
Since you like it, you may want to continue your Ayreon journey. Next from Ayreon Universe Live concert, where different facets of Arjen Anthony Lucassenøs talent for music, lyrics, but especially assembling a group of super musicians and vocalists can be seen and heard - I suggest you start by "Everybody Dies" ua-cam.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/v-deo.html
Ayreon is not a band but a project by Arjen Lucassen; there are/were other, must hear, projects like Star one, Guild Machine, Ambeon, Stream of Passion, The Gentle Storm. Have a look at the two epic live concerts: Ayreon Universe live The electric castle live and other tales See Wikipedia for everything on Arjen Anthony Lucassen, Ayreon and other side projects by Arjen.
You comparing Mike to Queen. Well visually...hehe... you now NEED to watch Everybody Dies live by Ayreon... you will the HEAR Mike go full Freddie Mercury. It is MINDBLOWING
What the Hell? you invite your Lady to watch an Tune , and didnt bring her at least an Glass of Wine?...tztztz....we gonna practice here:) Well, dont be angry with me, but Lady really interprete it well and did chukle up many Things, just an its wow is an bit Thin, Mister;). I get it, i think, youre more on the entrepeneur Side, Enjoy and Inhale, where Lady Jay is the one who is fascinated of the Composition, Setup , Lyrics and Cratf of the Song. Most for the Tune itself is already said, and i simple like it more anyway, to watch the Humans doing the Recap, then spreading Facts. You are what makes an Recap good, great or skiplike:) im already subbed and stay:) Stay Healthy NW Army North Bavaria out.
Arjen made a comment about Joost being a "lul" (sounds like 'lull' in lullaby and means 'dick'). That's because Arjen is a very shy guy and Joost kept pushing Arjen to appear in the live concerts. Which he eventually did. If you watch 'The Eye of Ra', you'll see Arjen speed off stage as soon as the song is finished. He's moving so fast, that Floor is barely able to point the attention af the audience at him before he vanishes backstage. Why do such a lot of artists have stage fright?
this is NOT a collaboration. Ayreon has already a lot of albums. Everything revolves around Arjen (the "tall hippie dude") that is the compositor/producer and "the mastermind". Many artists/singers come and go throughout the years. Also: each album is a story and all the albums are connected in some way.
ua-cam.com/video/Ix21NNxRUvc/v-deo.html Christmas time with Band Aid as inspiration from that Michael Jackson and Lionel Richi wrote We are the World. But I dont think Band Aid was the first either.
You are not to blame you missed this. That is what you get when music stations only play commercial and mainstream music. And total block mainland Europe music.
It's funny to hear Floor as being "from Nightwish".
Arjen's been working with her (and her sister Irene) since Floor was 19. She's a core member of one of his other projects, 'Star One' (sci-fi prog metal).

Suggestions for that might be 'How Much For That Dragon's Tooth?', 'How Do Ghosts Work?', or 'Concerning Lix & Fairs'. His style can vary quite significantly, and his range is incredible.
Lucassen knew Floor since she was 16.
Now you need to go Ayreon Live - 'Ayreon Universe Live' is a great entry into the whole Ayreon Universe as it is like a best of. Everybody dies from 'Ayreon Universe', follows on from this song and the live version is amazing and so much fun.
And after that just listen to everything. It doesn’t dissapoint

Arjen Anthony Lucassen - electric and acoustic guitars, all other instruments (composer)
Next I would suggest reacting to the performances at Ayreon Universe concert, especially the following Intergalactic Space Crusaders, River of Time, Merlin's Will, Valley of the Queens, Ride the Comet, Star of Sirrah, And the Druids Turn to Stone, Age of Shadows & Everybody Dies.
You two are great! Love listening and watching you. Thanks! Good job!

You two are great, glad i found this channel. Great energy and positive vibes.
You should check out the live show Ayreon - The Electric Castle and other Tales! It's amazing!

Tears again! Thanx
'Do they know it's Christmas' is another song sung by a large group of artists. That came out in the 80's.
And it was the inspiration for "We are the world"
You should also react to Age of Shadows, Everybody Dies, Eye of Ra and many more by Ayreon. Great reaction ty, Greetings from The Netherlands
So many master pieces.

Hi, if you watch closely you can see that Tommy Karevik sings with his hands on this video. More Floor Jansen, watch the Beste Zangers 2019.

Floor jansen one of the best singers ever
This is what I call reaction guys....nice....🇸🇪
Definite Jethro Tull flavour in this.
Not just instrumentally, but in composition structure.
Rick Wakeman maybe too.
Arjen seems like a Kansas fan too.
when the "galloping bass" starts NWOBHM stands for New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. Iron Maiden. Judas Priest. Angel Witch. Def Leppard. Grim Reaper.
Try Ayreon's "The Human Equation"....no words.
I never feel The Human Equation ever gets the recognition it deserves..superb!
"it told a story, from beginning to end". Well, yes, but also no. This was only the beginning. Getting to the end is going to take several albums worth of excellent music
And it ends at the beginning. 😁

Remember Russell Allen was in Symphonhy X....
also you have 11 metal singers from other groups like Dream Theater, Simone Simons of Epica, The Symphony X Singer Russell and Nightwish's Floor Jansen
Now Floor Jansen is an amazing female Vocalist who appears on their songs
Floor and Simone are very close friends and they both lead a band that's Symphonic Metal Floor Nightwish and Simone Epica the only big difference is Epica is a bit harder because of their growler Mark singing style with Simone's angelic tone and also they perform a lot of times with full Orchestras and choirs unlike Nightwish who uses the tracks
Sounds like a Queen soundtrack
Subscribed when you did Tool "Hooker with a penis", went back to see where you guys are at...forth glass of wine here...you guys rule.
Since you mentioned the terminator you should now check-out Star One " Fate of Man" that is another band by Arjen (same guy as this)and the song is based on the movie and features Brittany Slays from Unleash the Archers!!!!

Ayreon Universe live
The electric castle live and other tales
See Wikipedia for everything on Arjen Anthony Lucassen, Ayreon and other side projects by Arjen.
I would love to see you guys react to Tom MacDonald, Adam Calhoun , Nova Rockafeller and Struggle Jennings newest song "In God We Trust."

check out Ayreon - the druids turned to stone live universe next ;)
True Fact Floor had wanted to be a Biologist so the part fit her well
Arjen luccassen is alot like Roger Waters of Pink Floyd in the that he tell stories...
What the Hell? you invite your Lady to watch an Tune , and didnt bring her at least an Glass of Wine?...tztztz....we gonna practice here:)
Well, dont be angry with me, but Lady really interprete it well and did chukle up many Things, just an its wow is an bit Thin, Mister;). I get it, i think, youre more on the entrepeneur Side, Enjoy and Inhale, where Lady Jay is the one who is fascinated of the Composition, Setup , Lyrics and Cratf of the Song.
Most for the Tune itself is already said, and i simple like it more anyway, to watch the Humans doing the Recap, then spreading Facts. You are what makes an Recap good, great or skiplike:)
im already subbed and stay:)
Stay Healthy

Try Ayreon Universe
Arjen made a comment about Joost being a "lul" (sounds like 'lull' in lullaby and means 'dick'). That's because Arjen is a very shy guy and Joost kept pushing Arjen to appear in the live concerts. Which he eventually did. If you watch 'The Eye of Ra', you'll see Arjen speed off stage as soon as the song is finished. He's moving so fast, that Floor is barely able to point the attention af the audience at him before he vanishes backstage.
Why do such a lot of artists have stage fright?
Baby Steph please take a break.
this is NOT a collaboration. Ayreon has already a lot of albums. Everything revolves around Arjen (the "tall hippie dude") that is the compositor/producer and "the mastermind". Many artists/singers come and go throughout the years. Also: each album is a story and all the albums are connected in some way.
