The Keyboard player is Joost van den Broek, crazy talented musician and composer, these days he is a very sought after record producer, he produced the last three EPICA albums including Omega, my favorite three Epica albums so he's doing something right!
A lot of talent came out of that band, Floor, of course. Mark Jansen, founder of "Sahara Dust" before changing the name of the band to "Epica" and Joost van den Broek, mister unmissable in the Dutch Metal scene, and Floor's good friend and partner in crime while she is writing her solo album, as well as the guy who finally convince Arjen Anthony Lucassen to have live concert with Ayreon: Universe, Electric Castle and the next one that should have come in October 2021, but will be postpone until it is possible again. As you may recall from "The Day That The World Breaks Down" Arjen writes that Joost is still a LUL (dutch for dick head) of course, meant as a joke ;-)
Fun fact for the aged: this was taped in the same venue WCW Saturday Night used to be taped in, Center Stage in Atlanta. It's odd they're playing on a "ProgPower USA VII" rug/stage decoration when After Forever didn't play ProgPower USA until PPUSAVIII in 2007.
@@crabuki1273 I don't get the joke.... Why Sir? Joost van de Broek is Dutch and in The Netherlands there excists no such title as Sir. That title only has meaning in the British empire. The rest of the world don't care.
As young as Floor looks here, the keyboardist Joost looks like he's about 12 lol. This was such a great band. BTW, the guitarist doing the clean vocals at the beginning is Bas Maas, who's been with Doro for years now.
Floor is one of those women who get more beautiful with age. And I think she used to work with a sledgehammer from a young age when I look at her arms like that.😁 The second singer would not be a bad substitute for Marco I think.
this is without a doubt my favourite AF song. the studio version is far better for the male vocals (both clean and harsh) for me, at least, but floor doing floor things. sounds just about the same for her bits, more reverb in studio but thats pretty much a given. so glad to see you enjoyed and jeanelle is coming in c l u t c h with great songs, so jeanelle, if u see this, you're doing gods work lol
I wouldn't say Revamp is more popular than After Forever, I think it is mostly that Revamp is more recent. So Mark Jansen left After Forever to Start Epica & later MaYaN. I believe he had already been gone for a couple of years before this one came out, but that doesn't mean that he couldn't have had something do do with this song.
If you like Epica (or ... Floor's BFF Simone Simons 😉), try a clip from *AYREON's* latest project (Transitus), which includes Simone Simons. (2020) *_”Daniel’s Descent Into Transitus Medley”_* : ua-cam.com/video/ozmTXh2CBWw/v-deo.html
Great reaction !!! I have a proposal for myself - will you make a film about the talented young singer Viki Gabor? She has an amazing voice !!! She can sing a lot of riffs and runs as well as whistle like her idol Ariana Grande :) I would be very interested in your movie about her. Viki has great potential to become a star all over the world. She is only 13 years old and is already ahead of many experienced singer.Greetings. You just need to copy .Viki Gabor - Moja i Twoja Nadzieja (Hey) | #PASJA2021
This may seem random but one reason why I try to stay away from Floor fans is because they always compare the vocalists of this band and Epica. Some dude in the live said "is that Mark, surely isn't" they constantly also compare Floor with Simone saying who is better. They seem to think that they are above everyone else and can't stand that people sound different. Like Mark may not sound like Sander but that doesn't mean he isn't good.
Something is off with After Forever. Their music sounds messy most of the time. I think it is the drummer that is not steady and the band is always playing catch up instead of the intended song... Whatever it is , it ruins their songs for me... BTW: I see no activity on your channel....Hope your save!?!
Check out a 21 years old Floor in After Forever's "Monolith Of Doubt" in a Dutch tv-show called "Kopspijkers" (2002).
live is better, non radio version

Nice to see the young Floor. Her operatic or classical vocals are awesome.
The young Floor Is the princeess. and now, she is the QUEEN. the VALKYRIE 🥰 her Stage Performance , so young. STUNNING.
Floor became lead singer of After Forever at the young age of 16, imagine fronting a band at 16.
She was already a pretty good singer back then and has since improved. I'm glad she switched to NW and made herself known to the world.

After forever monolith of doubt, awesome awesome 😎
Floor became the singer of After Forever in 1997 she was 17 they were together 12 years then disbanded and she started ReVamp
lilli hartman Actually Floor (1981) was 16 when she joined AF in 1997.

ProgPower festival in Atlanta - great festival in a more intimate setting than a huge arena. It is very easy to talk to bands after.
Joost van den Broek, the keyboard player, is the one who plays on Floor's covers....
Show me a better front women than Floor....
Thank you for letting me know!
I believe you meant SIR Joost ;-)

I wish Floor would've kept singing like that. She's held back in nightiwhs and it's such a waste.
the good old days haha
