I was an angry metal kid when this song came out. I listened to this non-stop. It was my personal anthem for years. I haven’t heard it in a couple of years and man, it still rocks!!!!
Same here. I first heard it on a live cassette back in like 1991 or something like that, but with Helloween not being a big hit in the US, I couldn't ever find anything else by them so I lost track of them until a few years ago when I found out they "reunited". This song still is an anthem for me.
@@joshuaswanson1977 I first heard this in the early 90s when I found their greatest hits cassette in a bargain bin and figured I'd give it a shit, and was blown away! Then a few years later, when the Internet started taking off, I started hitting up import CD dealers online to get their albums.
Yes!! Finally some Helloween. Try out Eagle Fly Free you'll love the drums and the bass in that one. Living Ain't No Crime and Keeper Of The Seven keys, Save Us, Dr Stein, Twilight Of The Gods, Future World and the song Halloween
OMG, one of my favorite bands. German Power Metal is hard to beat. You should also check out "I'm Alive", "Metal Invaders", "Eagle Fly Free", "If I Could Fly" and "Hocus Pocus". They also cover ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On Me".
They have a song called Halloween, and you guys have to check out the live version from Madrid in 2019. It has the reunion group with Michael Kiske (this singer), Andi Deris (an equally awesome singer), Kai Hansen with his pink guitar, the other guitarist in this video, a third guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. It’s arguably the best live performance I’ve ever seen.
@@Alithia451 Halloween is the NAME OF ONE OF THEIR SONGS! Ergo, why I said "Halloween is another good one" Your attempt at grammar correction has miserably...failed. Brooohahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
@@Alithia451 The song is just called "Halloween". There is, in fact, an American 80s band called Halloween, making it all the more important to distinguish bands and titles properly.
Thank you so much for doing Helloween. This one is the most played song here in the states besides Halloween. They have an amazing catalog of music. They are the Godfathers of European Power Metal. Do more Helloween Please! Love what you guys do! Huge fan!
Alright my babies.... You've just earned The Righteousness Award 🏆‼️ I seen this band open up for two other bands, in Oakland, California on the first MTV Headbangers Ball tour‼️🔥🥁🎸🎤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Often referred to as the pioneers of the genre "power metal". Hailing from Germany, Helloween have been influential for many bands of the same genre. With Halloween approaching, you should react to more Helloween
Amazing that you've reacted to Helloween! Pure 80's metal🎸🤘 to be honest it always reminds me of Maiden and the voice of the one and only Bruce Dickinson.
Great reaction! Helloween is a German a "Power Metal" band and the lead singer's name is Michael Kiske, a very popular metal vocalist from this genre. I have another suggestion...Want to hear a popular Japanese metal band from the 80's? You need to check out the band, 'Loudness' and listen to the videos of either 'Crazy Nights' (HD version) or 'Let It Go' (Remastered)'. The guitarist from Loudness is considered the Japanese "Eddie Van Halen" by many. Cheers!
So many bangers from Helloween.... Eagle Fly Free, Pumpkins United, Keeper of the 7 Keys (live). Very underrated but still touring today. Kai Hansen i believe still is the lead singer
Michael Kiske was the boy with the silver voice, Helloween’s second singer. Recently they reunited and feature all 3 singers. You can check out the song “How Many Tears” live at Waken to listen to all three singers.
The first concert I ever went to was Helloween opening for Iron Maiden back in '88, and what a concert it was. Mindblowing for a teenager like me at the time! Helloween tend to make quite long masterpieces (Halloween, The King For 1000 Years, Keeper Of The Seven Keys, etc.) which might not suit your channel, but some of the shorter good ones with Michael Kiske on vocals are Dr. Stein, Kids Of The Century, Your Turn, Future World, We Got The Right, A Tale That Wasn't Right & A Little Time.
Saw Helloween back in 89 or 90 with Exodus and Anthrax, was a great show. March of Time, Rise and Fall, Dr. Stein, Future World and Eagle Fly Free are all great songs by them. Mike Kiske is a fantastic singer, sounds exactly the same live as he does on albums.
I’ve been a fan of Helloween since 1985. The singer’s name is Michael Kiske and he is, imo, the best singer of any genre. Recommend Eagle Fly Free as the next song of there’s you do a reaction to.
Is "METAL MONDAY" going to be a thing? Because I'm sure a lot of fans would love you make it a thing! Personally would like to hear your reaction to Anthrax and their version of "Bring The Noise"... and "I'm The Man"...
Michael Kiske is one of my favorite vocalists ever, and back when this song came out I looked enough like him that we could have been mistaken for brothers.
Helloween is amazing. Saw them in Vegas back in June. Need to listen to perfect gentleman by them. Also they have 3 singers and all of them are amazing
The godfather of european power metal!!!! Michael Kiske , the singer , had a large scales in his voice , Kai Hansen, the pink guitarist and first singer of the band had make great tunes for the band and for his own band Gamma Ray, another german power metal . Great history!!!!!
I loved Helloween back in the day. This track is class! If you like this you should check out Do You Like It? By Kingdom Come. The video is absolutely brilliant!
I FINALLY crossed these guys off my bands to see live bucket list this year. Not only the best concert I've been to this year but one of the best shows I've ever attended. One of those shows I never wanted to ever end. IF you ever go back to these guys you should check out a song from their most recent album called "Best Time"! Not only the sound of the song but the message and vibe of it I think would be right up your alley.
y'all gotta do Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" next. Singer is Michael Kiske. This album and the one before it were the blueprint for the European Power Metal sound.
At this point in time of the band, Helloween was : • Michael Kiske = vcoals • Michael Weikath = guitars • Kai Hansen = lead guitar and vocals - Hansen was also lead vocalist before Kiske, on the debut release : an eponymous EP in 1985, and full album, Walls Of Jericho and standalone single Judas (was not on the WOJ album, and was not released til several months after WOJ) in 1986 - their heaviest stuff at the time) • Marcus Großkopf (Grosskopf) = bass • Ingo Schwichtenberg = drums This song is from the 1988 album Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II, which followed Part I (released in 1987). Keeper was supposed to be a double album but the record label said no (due to some contractual technicalities or whatever - just more power-trippin corporate bullsh*t), and forced them to releases the material as 2 separate volumes. It wasn't even a balanced split ; Part I only clocked in at around 37 minutes with 7 tracks (or 8, if you consider the introduction track separate), while Part II was over 55 minutes and 8 tracks (or, again, 9, if you consider the opening intro track to stand on its own). Part I features their epic almost-14-minute song Halloween, and Part II has the title track which also runs nearly the same length (between 13 and 14 minutes). Both are worth a reaction, but AVOID the official video for Halloween ; it has been butchered down to "radio friendly" single-edit format (and a sloppy mix) of a lousy 5 minutes.
Never thought I would get a Helloween reaction. The pioneers of progressive metal. Michael Kiske is the singers name. He can still sing very well too. Check out Future World, March if Time or Save Us. If you really want experience Helloween's musical brilliance check out the epic Keeper of the Seven Keys title track.
Seen them live last year. Michael Kiske still can sing like before. They have now 3 singers in Helloween, Michael Kiske, Kai Hansen, Andi Deris. Michael Kiske sings this song. The first singer was Kai Hansen who is also guitarist and then Michael Kiske came to sing for 4 albums before they replaced him with Andi Deris. Kai left after the third album. They reunited since 2018.
Keeper of the Seven Keys live from Pumpkins United in Madrid 2017 is a must. All members reunited on the same stage. Allt three singers and three guitarists. Truly amazing.
Its honestly criminal at the lack of great reactions to Helloween! So, to see that 2 of the best reactors on UA-cam have finally taken the plunge was absolutely amazing! I'm sure everyone has already mentioned all the great classics, but to be honest... You can't go wrong with any song from Helloween, nor can you go wrong with any one of their 3 singers! I've been an Iron Maiden fan since 1984, and a Helloween fan since I first discovered them here in the U.S. in 1989. I honestly think I kinda like Helloween just that tiny bit more. That's the single highest compliment I can pay this amazing band. I sincerely hope you go MUCH further down the Helloween rabbit hole!
This is scary, i was listening to this song earlier today from my playlist lol. 😮, Its one of my faves. Always thought the lead vocalist sounds like the lead singer of Iron maiden Bruce Dickinson. 👌 Another band i think youll love guys is Epica and the song called Edge of the Blade. I think you'll love it, it a little different from the usual metal songs. 😎🎶🎵🎸👌
Welcome to the awesome world of Helloween. Going on almost 40 years and still going strong. You definitely should check out Helloween - Halloween (official Live video) You will not be disappointed 🤘🏽🎃🤘🏽
love it glad you chose this one, there are so many great songs off this album alone. keeper of the seven keys is epic, Eagles fly free, Dr Stein or my fav... the rise and the fall. more please
I remember when they played this on the Headbangers ball on MTV. Came out in 1988. Same year as Die Hard and being German and having long hair, they kind, they of looked like certain members of Hans Gruber’s Crew:)
I first found this band from this video being played on MTV on Headbanger's Ball when it first came out. Loved the band immediately. This is off of Keeper Of The Seven Keys - Part 2. For an epic song, try the title track, it's approximately 15 minutes and what a beautiful story it tells. A must for late October is the song Halloween by Helloween.
Kai Hansen wrote this song and left shortly after. Did his own band Gamma Ray. Worth a listen. Check out Heading For Tommorow. Sung by Ralf Scheepers also known for Primal Fear. The Gamma Ray 30th Anniversary live version are phenomenal. Another great song are Last Before The Storm. You should also check out vintage Helloween - Starlight. Sung by Kai Hansen
The singer Michael Kiske stills sounds like that today. The guitarist Kai Hansen and Kiske returned to play with Helloween on the Pumpkins United tour. Michael and singer Andy Deris sound great together on that tour. You should check Kiske and Hanson with the band Unisonic.
Wow, what a really good surprise ! Helloween is one of the greatest european Metal bands and their lead singer at the time was Michael Kiske.This band has a lot of great bangers: "I Want Out", of course, but also "Eagle Fly Free", "Dr. Stein", "A Tale That Wasn't Right", "Future World". Helloween had another lead singer called Andy Deris since the mid-90's and with him, they did great songs like "Perfect Gentleman", "Power" (this song is a fantastic anthem), "I Can". Besides Helloween, there are a lot of great European Metal bands from the 80's & 90's. You could eventually check out these ones: - Accept: "Balls To The Walls", "Fast As A Shark", "Restless And Wild", "Princess Of A Dawn", "Midnight Mover" - Warlock: "All We Are", "East Meets West" - Bonfire: "Sword And Stone", "Ready 4 Reaction", "American Nights", "Hard On Me" - Pretty Maids (a Danish band): "Future World", "Back To Back", "Red Hot And Heavy", "Love Games", "Rodeo", "Hell On High Heels" - TNT (a Norwegian band): "10000 Lovers (In One)", "Everyone's A Star", Intuition" - Gamma Ray: "Heaven Can Wait", "Space Eater"
"Eagle Fly Free" is another great one from these guys. And anything from Keeper of the seven Keys pt 2....especially live. Regardless of which singer you have they are great. Michael Kiske is the singer on this one. Andi Deris replaced him for a while, until the band reunited a few years ago. They also have another killer vocalist in Kai Hansen (the pink guitarist in this video) he was their original vocalist. Check out their catalog, you won't be disappointed.
One of my fave bands ever. Back in the 80s i was fortunate enough to meet them having a drink in a back street boozer whilst they were on tour, no one in the pub knew who they were then there is little old me almost peeing my pants with excitement and yes i did get to have a drink with them lol i love anything by Helloween but Dr Steine is my fave 😊 pls react to more of they're songs ❤
Michael Kiske is the vocalist. He was a teen when he recorded this. Ingo Schwitzenburg was the drummer,he sadly committed suicide in the mid 90s partly caused by mental heath. He was an exceptional drummer and the reason i started to play the bass,because if I could have kept up with him then I could have kept up with anyone.
My childhood: Helloween and Maiden. "Eagle fly free" if you want another banger or ""A Tale That Wasn't Right" if you want to slow it down to a ballad.
Helloween are a German band that was formed in the early 80's. They are regarded as pioneers of Power Metal and a very influential band for a lot of bands today. Their lead guitarist Kay Hansen and singer Michael Kiske form another band called Gammna Ray that you should also check out.
No, Kai Hansen formed Gamma Ray when he left Helloween, but Michael Kiske remained with Helloween until he was fired in 1993. He was never a member of Gamma Ray (though he did do a guest vocal on one song). Kiske and Hansen were. however, briefly reunited in the 10s in the band Unisonic, before both rejoining Helloween in 2016.
Halloween got lost in the shuffle. Harem Scarem is another one that was great but wasn’t publicized enough. The song Honestly was a gem. Really tested Harry Hess vocal range. You really need to hear some of Skid Row’s harder stuff like Monkey Business, Youth Gone Wild, Sweet Little Sister or Big Guns. What you have listened to up to date has been soft in comparison
Helloween (note spelling) did not get lost in the shuffle - here in Europe. Here they rank among the most legendary and popular heavy metal bands of all time, and perform to packed houses to this day.
I haven't heard this tune in over 30 years. I can't believe someone suggested this, and you guys rolled with it. Me and my best mate used to drive all over the Gold Coast, Australia in the early 90's trying to score weed and listening to this album full blast in his Holden Gemini. Very fond memories. Nice one!
I havent seen the movie reaction yet nor heard this song before but you are right Jay, you just have to tap your frrt and nod .your head. That was a real "BANGER". Really enjoyed that one. ❤🎼🥁
Keeper of the seven keys pt 1 and 2 were my intro to Helloween back in the 90's. german power metal is so good. Check out Avantasia which is lead by Tobias Sammat.
YES!!!! Helloween, Keeper Of The Seven Keys is mandatory. It should be the next song by them. I also suggest Eagle Fly Free and I'm Alive if you want to get your heart rate going.
Helloween been my favorite band since over 30 yers, specially the "old" Helloween. They have so mutch going on in every song....inspired alot other bands actually. They sure have fun playing to, ive seen them like 10 times now, always good live!
My brother was stationed in Germany while in the army, in his free time he worked with a few rock/metal bands (even filled in on drums now and then), but he met these guys on more than one occasion. He played this band for me, and I was hooked. I finally got to see them in concert on the MTV's Head Bangers Ball tour in 1989 along with Anthrax and Exodus. (it was a complete mosh fest). While the other bands were more popular in the U.S., they did not disappoint.
I turned this up to 11 !!! Love Helloween. Keeper of the Seven Keys is a must.
Damn! You beat me to it. 😅🤘
Keeper of the Seven Keys for sure!
Definitely my favorite Helloween!
Why not just turn it up to 10 and make 10 the loudest?
Must react to Keeper of the Seven Keys
The Guitarist is none other than the legendary Kai Hansen and vocalist Michael Kiske ! Hail to Helloween !
Your next Helloween track should be "Keeper of the Seven Keys"- manifesting the amazing vocal prowess of Michael Kiske !
I was an angry metal kid when this song came out. I listened to this non-stop. It was my personal anthem for years. I haven’t heard it in a couple of years and man, it still rocks!!!!

@@joshuaswanson1977 I first heard this in the early 90s when I found their greatest hits cassette in a bargain bin and figured I'd give it a shit, and was blown away! Then a few years later, when the Internet started taking off, I started hitting up import CD dealers online to get their albums.
Dr Stein is a classic and shows off his vocals to the max
Lol they'll like the lyrics
eh a little too goofy for a second helping. They should go for Eagle Fly Free next.
No
We got the right is another Helloween classic.
Yes!! Finally some Helloween. Try out Eagle Fly Free you'll love the drums and the bass in that one. Living Ain't No Crime and Keeper Of The Seven keys, Save Us, Dr Stein, Twilight Of The Gods, Future World and the song Halloween
OMG, one of my favorite bands. German Power Metal is hard to beat. You should also check out "I'm Alive", "Metal Invaders", "Eagle Fly Free", "If I Could Fly" and "Hocus Pocus". They also cover ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On Me".
The version of "Eagle Fly Free" from their concert in Brazil was incredible, hearing the fans singing along!
And check out the Lovebites cover of Eagles Fly Free
And can't forget " We Got The Right".
@@JoseMorales-nb6nn too many to list. Lol

An actual non-mainstream old school, metal band! 🤘🤘
The singer is Michael Kiske….his voice has always been stellar….even today 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
You cant go wrong with anything from Helloween Gamma Ray or Unironic . Great to see Michael Kiske back on stage with Helloween

Nothing beats 80s Metal. Period. Definitely influenced by Iron Maiden. But they are one of the most influential Metal bands of all time.
I get some Priest in the mix as well.
I was going to say Dio. How have I not known about this before now? It's straight up my alley.
the singer is michael kiske when he was 20 years old and for your concideration he is now in his 50ies and still hit notes like these.
The great Kai Hansen wrote this song!! You have to check out "Skyfall" off their latest album Helloween. He also wrote this monster of a song!!
Great reaction! Helloween is a German a "Power Metal" band and the lead singer's name is Michael Kiske, a very popular metal vocalist from this genre. I have another suggestion...Want to hear a popular Japanese metal band from the 80's? You need to check out the band, 'Loudness' and listen to the videos of either 'Crazy Nights' (HD version) or 'Let It Go' (Remastered)'. The guitarist from Loudness is considered the Japanese "Eddie Van Halen" by many. Cheers!
I would suggest Loudness - In The Mirror and Firestorm. Phenomenal guitar work by Akira Takasaki
So many bangers from Helloween.... Eagle Fly Free, Pumpkins United, Keeper of the 7 Keys (live). Very underrated but still touring today. Kai Hansen i believe still is the lead singer
Kai plays lead guitar...lead singer here is Michael Kiske. This song represented Hansen's desire to quit the band.

Helloween is amazing band from Germany, My favorite band!!!
Keeper of the Seven Keys live from Pumpkins United in Madrid 2017 is a must. All members reunited on the same stage. Allt three singers and three guitarists. Truly amazing.
Thank you for this one! ... I lived in El Salvador in '94 and '95, and this song was my medicine.
The Keepers of the 7 Keys, The best from Germany , the land of heavy fucking metal .
That was Michael Kiske, a great singer...he can hold high notes for long. Glad you enjoyed 😀
My suggestion is A tale that wasn't right
I saw them in local club here in pa. With grim reaper and armored saint...these guys rocked
Helloween Live in the UK is an absolute must listen, the whole thing is awesome.

One of the best 80's Metal bands!
Totally forgot about this song, haven’t heard this in ages. Just added to my Spotify 👊🏽😄.
Wow, what a really good surprise ! Helloween is one of the greatest european Metal bands and their lead singer at the time was Michael Kiske.This band has a lot of great bangers: "I Want Out", of course, but also "Eagle Fly Free", "Dr. Stein", "A Tale That Wasn't Right", "Future World". Helloween had another lead singer called Andy Deris since the mid-90's and with him, they did great songs like "Perfect Gentleman", "Power" (this song is a fantastic anthem), "I Can".
Besides Helloween, there are a lot of great European Metal bands from the 80's & 90's. You could eventually check out these ones:
- Accept: "Balls To The Walls", "Fast As A Shark", "Restless And Wild", "Princess Of A Dawn", "Midnight Mover"
- Warlock: "All We Are", "East Meets West"
- Bonfire: "Sword And Stone", "Ready 4 Reaction", "American Nights", "Hard On Me"
- Pretty Maids (a Danish band): "Future World", "Back To Back", "Red Hot And Heavy", "Love Games", "Rodeo", "Hell On High Heels"
- TNT (a Norwegian band): "10000 Lovers (In One)", "Everyone's A Star", Intuition"
- Gamma Ray: "Heaven Can Wait", "Space Eater"
Both Deris and Kiske are in Helloween today. In case you weren't aware 🙂
@@erikthompson619 Yeah, I know it 😎
their concerts are always full speed ahead...Michael Kiske was one of their best singers 👍👍👍🤘💥
I also recommend : Pink Cream 69!!!!❤
"Eagle Fly Free" is another great one from these guys. And anything from Keeper of the seven Keys pt 2....especially live. Regardless of which singer you have they are great. Michael Kiske is the singer on this one. Andi Deris replaced him for a while, until the band reunited a few years ago. They also have another killer vocalist in Kai Hansen (the pink guitarist in this video) he was their original vocalist. Check out their catalog, you won't be disappointed.
Often heavy metal tracks are actually compositions, but the song "I want out" has everything that makes a song, a song.
One of my fave bands ever. Back in the 80s i was fortunate enough to meet them having a drink in a back street boozer whilst they were on tour, no one in the pub knew who they were then there is little old me almost peeing my pants with excitement and yes i did get to have a drink with them lol i love anything by Helloween but Dr Steine is my fave 😊 pls react to more of they're songs ❤
This was one of my fav songs back in the day. Sooo many memories...Headbangers Ball
Michael Kiske is the vocalist. He was a teen when he recorded this. Ingo Schwitzenburg was the drummer,he sadly committed suicide in the mid 90s partly caused by mental heath. He was an exceptional drummer and the reason i started to play the bass,because if I could have kept up with him then I could have kept up with anyone.
This was released in 1988 and was my introduction to Helloween. I've been a fan since.
My childhood: Helloween and Maiden. "Eagle fly free" if you want another banger or ""A Tale That Wasn't Right" if you want to slow it down to a ballad.
I see many are going with "Keeper of the Seven Keys" so i am changing to that aswell :) Its probably their best but almost 14 min long :) EPIC!
This band is the king of hidden gems and they are my favorite band of all time I hope you react to more of them.
The singer name is Michael Kiske, go check out one of their reunion live video with new singer andi deris forever and one live
This song was my signature song all throughout high-school!! So much joy seeing you enjoy this song
Helloween are a German band that was formed in the early 80's. They are regarded as pioneers of Power Metal and a very influential band for a lot of bands today. Their lead guitarist Kay Hansen and singer Michael Kiske form another band called Gammna Ray that you should also check out.
No, Kai Hansen formed Gamma Ray when he left Helloween, but Michael Kiske remained with Helloween until he was fired in 1993. He was never a member of Gamma Ray (though he did do a guest vocal on one song). Kiske and Hansen were. however, briefly reunited in the 10s in the band Unisonic, before both rejoining Helloween in 2016.
Halloween got lost in the shuffle. Harem Scarem is another one that was great but wasn’t publicized enough. The song Honestly was a gem. Really tested Harry Hess vocal range. You really need to hear some of Skid Row’s harder stuff like Monkey Business, Youth Gone Wild, Sweet Little Sister or Big Guns. What you have listened to up to date has been soft in comparison
Big yes to Harem Scarem and Honestly! This one - meh.
Their debut-album is awsome. "With a Little Love" and "Something to Say" are my favourites besides "Honestly".
And "Stranger Than Love" on the next album.
Helloween (note spelling) did not get lost in the shuffle - here in Europe. Here they rank among the most legendary and popular heavy metal bands of all time, and perform to packed houses to this day.
This was amazing i have been playing this song since i was 11 years old and loved seeing your reactions & joy!
Just saw them in Dallas not too long ago. It was their first time in the US in almost 2 decades
WHY DO I LOVE HELLOWEEN SO MUCH? AHH CAN NEVER STOP LISTENING AND NO OTHER BAND EVER GIVE ME THE SAME FEELING! AHHHHHHH!!!!
I haven't heard this tune in over 30 years. I can't believe someone suggested this, and you guys rolled with it.
Me and my best mate used to drive all over the Gold Coast, Australia in the early 90's trying to score weed and listening to this album full blast in his Holden Gemini.
Very fond memories. Nice one!
One of the best power/speed metal bands ever and they were huge in Europe. And they still exist and make good albums.
You need to react to Helloween's "Keeper of The Seven Keys". Such a great song!
I havent seen the movie reaction yet nor heard this song before but you are right Jay, you just have to tap your frrt and nod .your head. That was a real "BANGER". Really enjoyed that one. ❤🎼🥁
Keeper of the seven keys pt 1 and 2 were my intro to Helloween back in the 90's. german power metal is so good. Check out Avantasia which is lead by Tobias Sammat.
YES!!!! Helloween, Keeper Of The Seven Keys is mandatory. It should be the next song by them. I also suggest Eagle Fly Free and I'm Alive if you want to get your heart rate going.
Helloween been my favorite band since over 30 yers, specially the "old" Helloween. They have so mutch going on in every song....inspired alot other bands actually. They sure have fun playing to, ive seen them like 10 times now, always good live!
My brother was stationed in Germany while in the army, in his free time he worked with a few rock/metal bands (even filled in on drums now and then), but he met these guys on more than one occasion. He played this band for me, and I was hooked. I finally got to see them in concert on the MTV's Head Bangers Ball tour in 1989 along with Anthrax and Exodus. (it was a complete mosh fest). While the other bands were more popular in the U.S., they did not disappoint.
A lot of my friends at the time never even heard of Helloween. You really listen to a lot of types of music.
Best sustained note in the history of rock and roll.
Helloween the Father of European Power metal. Keeper of the Seven keys 2 Masterpiece.
Haven't heard this in forever, thanks for bringing it back!
Michael Kiske...one of the best ever. And he can still do it 35 years later.
lol this is certainly a blast from the past. Loved the reaction guys, now turn it up to 11 :)
I was just thinking about this yesterday… you guys would enjoy Keeper of the Seven Keys… what a coincidence! 🤯😂
You need to check out Unisonic's 2012 song... Unisonic! Michael Kiske and Kai Kansen from Helloween being AMAZING! He still has that voice.
