![ROADIE REACTIONS | "Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down" | [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]](/img/n.gif)
Thanks so much for this very interesting reaction, I really enjoyed this one! Very good for my ego, haha! You certainly know what you're talking about. Please keep up the good work. And to answer your question... AI is SCARY! 🙂
Thank you so much for watching Arjen! It was an incredible piece to react to!
I'd love to arrange an interview sometime, I have so many questions! 😃
@@EbizzerHH I'm certainly intrigued..
@@EbizzerHH I concur, Blind Guardian is awesome. There newest album is a banger.
I second that. AI is a deathtrap and for some reason nobody seems interested in a deadmen's switch.
Oh, Arjen, Arjen...You predict the future, a condition only reserved for the talented.
'Everybody dies'....Ayreon, the live version, you will love it.
I suspect I'm gonna love a bunch of this stuff!
@@PrymalChaos Also "Ayreon The Theater Equation Day Twelve Trauma" Live. It's like some rock musical. Really cool ;)
Arjen is my favorite Space Hippie ✌🤓🤘!!!!
The binary code means "Trust TH-1"
The cool thing about Ayreon is that all the albums sort of tie into the same story. 'The Source' (the album which this song is from) is technically the start of the story. It's about a race of humans that give control of their planet to a computer (the 'frame) to help solve an environmental catastrophe, but the computer determines that the best course of action is to eliminate the humans. Ten humans and the robot TH-1 escape the planet on the only interstellar ship they have (the 'Starblade') along with the ship's crew and head to an ocean planet. The chemist creates a drug ('The Source', aka 'Liquid Eternity') that allows them to evolve into an 'aquatic race'. The drug also makes them basically immortal and allows them to communicate telepathically. The album ends with the survivors (ten plus the ships small crew) living on their new planet ('Planet Y') in relative peace, but in the final track we learn that TH-1 is becoming a new version of the 'frame deep in the ocean. The next album in the timeline, 01011001 ('Y') tells us how machines have now taken over this new planet, and the humans have basically merged with the machines are losing their emotions and sense of time. They now call themselves 'The Forever', since they are essentially ageless drones at this point. We also learn about how they seeded a comet with DNA and sent it to Earth, where it creates human life on our planet. The Forever believe they can live through us telepathically and that they may regain their emotions by doing so. Some of The Forever believe that we need to advance more quickly, and use their telepathy to give us medicine/technology, but this results in us advancing quicker than our morality can cope with. Eventually The Forever realize humanity is doomed and has to decide if they will give them the technology to reverse their past mistakes. Somewhere in the timeline sits the album "The Electric Castle" From a summary by Arjen: "At the end of the journey those that successfully dealt with their personal demons find out that the voice belongs to an alien named 'Forever of the Stars', a member of an alien race living in a distant galaxy. These aliens created planet Earth and its people as an experiment so they could study, and hopefully one day experience emotions, as they themselves lost feelings eons ago." That's only three albums (less than half!) but I believe those three give you a solid foundation for how the story plays out. Also, I highly recommend any of the Electric Castle Live videos; They are just so fun to watch, plus John de Lancie ('Q' from Star Trek) plays the 'Forever of the Stars' character, which Arjen said he originally based on Q.
NWSU/Ayreonaut/FloorFan .
😉
Q is my second favorite Star Trek character and TNG is my favorite Star Trek. But Spock will forever be #1 in my heart 😍
Thank you for sharing that! Amazing! There is a morse-code at the end of a song by Iron Butterfly. Iron Butterfly Theme.
The morse code says: LOVE
It's ASCII
Yes: "Thrust TH-1"
Blind Guardian: Bard's Song & Vallhalla (live in Wacken 2016) most reactors seem to like that one…
they show the breadth of the band and are old, beloved classics.
He already wrote a song about computer generated music called Pink Beatles in a Purple Zeppelin
Binary translation: "Trust TH-1" (I might be off on the using of capital letters and hyphen)
Arjen usually has already a performer in mind when writing his music. He specifically called the android role "TH-1" as a hint to Toehider, Michael's band.
Very cool! Thank you
Mike Mills lyrics are binary for "Trust TH-1"
Thank you!
Michael Mills: Toehider
James Labrie - Lead singer for Dream Theatre.
Tommy Karevik - Lead singer of Kamelot .
Tommy Rodgers - Lead singer of Between the Buried and Me.
Simone Simmons - Lead singer of Epica.
Nils K. Rue - Lead singer of Pagan's Mind .
Tobias Sammet - Lead singer of Avantasia.
Hansi Kürsch - Lead singer of Blind Guardian
Mike Mills - Multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and main songwriter for Toehider.
Russell Allen - Lead singer of Symphony X .
Michael Eriksen - Lead singer of Circus Maximus.
Floor Jansen - Lead singer of After Forever, ReVamp & now Nightwish.
May I suggest their song "Everybody Dies" its a live performance - ua-cam.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/v-deo.html
Tobias also has Edguy
Russell Allen is also part of Trans Siberian Orchestra's winter tour - I saw him sing at our local hockey arena this past December and he was GREAT!
Thank you for this
@@csphoenix9 i like Edguy more than Avantasia though both are good
@@Brendo2386 Me too
This is a true Masterpiece! Excellent casting of singers to their roles. And then there was my eternal queen Floor 💗👸. The genius behind all of this is "The Tall Hippie Guy", Arjen Anthony Lucassen, the tallest known rock musician (203 cm). Greetings from Finland! ⛄❄👍
Wait! Really?! He's a giant!
There's a photo of Arjen with Floor, she looks normal size in comparison!
She gets regular invites to join his shows :)
@@stpfs9281 l know, and l've seen the shot. 😄👍
Now check out how they pull of this kind of crazy colabs live :) (From this same album they do Everybody Dies!)
Avantasia has a same concept as Ayreon
Just look at the two live concerts:
Ayreon Universe live. With Floor and Tommy.
The electric castle live and other tales (play in order of songs to understand the story). With Simone.
There’s also the Theatric Equation
Tobias is pronounced as To Be As (without the spaces of course and with a bit of speed). The emphasis is on To. The A in As as the A in Darth.
The binary code translates in “Trust TH1” (Toehider1)
Hi, if you watch closely you can say that Tommy Karevik sings with his hands in this video...
😂
Tobias Sammet's Avantasia is so freaking good, do check them out. It's like if Helloween and Iron Maiden had a child, and what a beautiful child it is.
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 Theater.
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.
Arjen's other project, Star One, has a song with a 3 minute guitar solo by Steve Vai on it. It is called "Lost Children of the Universe"
Masterpice. This project is huge.
After this, many will tell you to do Everybody Dies ua-cam.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/v-deo.html, from the Ayreon Universe, live at Tilburg show. But pritty much anything from that show is epic. Expect some new faces, and some more old new faces. Many a great name in that show. But hey... this is only the beginning....
i concur
I remember the song we are the word with all these great pop singers, then watching the deep purple song Smoke on the water performed by a mixed bunch of metal singers like Bruce Dickinson. Etc Then there's the Amazing Talent Arjen brings in and who wouldn't want to perform for such a masterful talented person.
Bruce Dickinson won't. It's not that he wasn't interested but Arjen seem to have let out the cat from the bag too early that BD would be working with him pissing of either BD himself or BD's management and they called of the colab. That's at least as I have understood it.
It’s funny that you mentioned Haken when Michael Mills was doing his thing. Arjen put Michael and Ross Jennings from Haken together in a song called Prescient. It’s under the Star One project title. It’s quite good!
Prescient would be a great one to rest to
Oh no way! Haha.
@@PrymalChaos meant React to, not rest to😂
Album is Star One, Revel In Time, if you liketo listen to it.
@@robynturnham2706 It's cool. I got what you meant. Damn Autocorrect
Michael Mills' binary lyrics are the ASCII encoded binary digits for "Trust TH1" which is the character he portrays.
Glad you liked it. And I agree, the behind the scenes comments from Arjen are super interesting. If you are interested in that kind of information, there are a few behind the scenes videos and interviews from different albums and live DVDs floating around here on UA-cam.
Yeah I may have to deep dive. I have to say the idea of producing something like this is super interesting to me.
One of the best reactions to this masterpiece I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot! Really good work and knowledge and interest in finding out things you didn't know. Appreciate that!
Thanks Crosswise! That's a very generous thing to say. I appreciate you watching. 🤘
You may enjoy the reaction by JW Soundworks too then. ua-cam.com/video/dX8K_v6SR2c/v-deo.html
Floor did exactly what you suggested…she’s done a “reaction”… more of an explainer…to her performance of Ghost Love Score at Wacken 2013. As far as Ayreon goes, getting all these folks together at one time is logistically challenging to say the least, BUT…there HAVE been a few live performances. I think you’d really get a kick out of the live version of Everybody Dies. ☮️
Everybody Dies has come up a few times. I'll take a look.
@@PrymalChaos I'm Aussie and travelling to Netherlands in September to see them :D
Floor reacting to Floor/Nightwish is one of the coolest things on YT that I discovered like last year
@@Brendo2386 No way! Man that would be something to see!
That was hinted at on 1st April, Floors April Fool for us, then a few days later, she really did it.
Fenris the dog, turned off the light!
Arjen plays gitar bass gitar and keys in this piece
There is an official UA-cam lyric video of the entire album with each singer hilighted as their part comes up.
Whenever I think of concept albums I think of Alan Parsons Project . . . fondly 😊
Have you searched on yt?...
Great reaction from a fellow Aussie, Arjon is an awsom dude to comment on your reaction as he spends a lot of time giving back to his fans (a real artist- in it for the music). It's worth checking out "Ayreon universe live, Star of sirrah, everybody dies" and others, and our Aussie lad Mike Mills kills it here too ! By watching Ayreon, it's like a great introduction to new stellar artist that otherwise you may have never come across. There is something in the water over in Sweden, Finland etc because their live musicianship is amazing. Enjoy the ride !
Yeah, sometimes I wish I grew up in a place that takes music more seriously.
Having said that, most of those places are really cold. 😂😂
Good reaction. You may like Floor's reaction to her own performance of Ghost Love Score at Wacken.
Everytime Tommy Karevik sings I get these major goosebumps.....what a voice he has🔥🤘🏽
I have to say I love how you spent the time to look up the artist you didn't know and to figure out what bands they belong to. It's such a neat touch compared to other reactions I have seen where you actually have an appreciation for the metal genre and the many bands that belong to it.
One of the artists that you were not super familiar with Tobias Sammet actually has two bands. His primary band is more hard rock/neo-classical metal/heavy metal depending on the album. Avantasia actually started out as a side project but is a very similar style of a rock opera featuring several different artists across the metal scene. The cool part is there is an ever growing list of artists that have contributed to both bands including Tobias and Arjen themselves. Tobias obviously being a major part of the album The Source but Arjen provided a guitar solo for the track "The Watchmaker's Dream" off of Avantasia's 2013 album The Mystery of Time.
The artists I can think of that have worked with both are
Jorn Lande (Masterplan, Solo, Allen/Lande)
Russel Allen (Symphony X, Allen/Lande)
Floor Jansen (Nightwish)
Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian)
Dee Snyder (Twisted Sister)
Bob Catley (Magnum)
Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation)
I really need to fall down this rabbit hole, and I will, but time man... Not enough of it! 😝
The entire album is fantastic... made me order the CD as soon as I saw this video a few years ago... i'm with you, i love all the inside information that Arjen gives to us, just so good, not to mention the brilliant musicianship. My Ayreon collection has definitely grown since, along with a few special vinyl releases. Great stuff.
I am very happy that you decided to dive into Ayreon. Buckle up, it's gonna be a ride. Only the best of the best making amazing music. Subscribed in hope for more Ayreon to come.
Certainly. The well is deep apparently.
These vocalists are not world renown, but they are all top notch singers. Mike Mills is also an extremely talented multi-instrumentalist as well. It means "Trust TH-1. He represents the AI that is attempting to take control and eradicate humans.
Great question, "Hey Arjen, how do you feel about ChatGTP?"
Have you seen Floor's video reacting to and commenting on her thought process singing Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013? It is really fun and fascinating to hear her inside thoughts on her approach to performing this unique and epic song.
I bought a Toerider CD after seeing Michael sing in this clip - I love his song Meet The Sloth - Ayreon is also responsible for me finding After Forever & Floor Jansen after buying one of his first concept albums
I believe the character of the android TH-1 is that it is independent of the AI Network and aids humanity to survive the onslaught of the central IA Network. I believe it joins the survivors on the spacecraft "Star Blade" in search of a new planet to inhabit.
@@roykliffen9674 Awesome. I don't know the full story. thanks for the info.
_The Butterfly Ball!!_ Yes!! I'm a huge Deep Purple fan, so I am familiar with this unique composition from Roger Glover.
PS - oh, and my son is colorblind.
Keep up with Ayreon, especially the live concerts.
Nice reaction! Classic prog aka jazzrock! Than they changed the name of the genre in "fusion"..what the hell..
Prog rock sounds okay compare to fusion..
Ayreon is an amazing project. It brings joy to the world ❤
Floor did her own reaction to Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013. It’s very interesting.🎸🤘
Only thing I can tell you about the binary code is: it ends with "One". Now, 1 in TTL logic is 0 Volt. "Zero" is 5Volt.
One: no energy transmitted.
Artists like Floor, Simone and Arjen make me proud to be Dutch!
True talent!
You forgot the God Mother of all Dutch/European symphonic female singers named Anneke van Giersbergen (ex the Gathering, Vuur) and you missed out a few more Like Charlotte Wessels (ex Delain) and Sharon den Adel ( Within Temptation).
Anneke with Floor on tour! Wow!
I'm looking forward to see him and his guests live on september 15 in Tilburg. Thank god (TH1?) I got tickets😉.
Floor actually did a reaction video to Ghost love score in Wacken. You should check it out.
I will definitely do that!
Great reaction there.
Great reaction. There is so much wonderful stuff created by Arjen that you should listen to when you can. What I must recommend above all is the live recording that was made "Ayreon Universe" which you will no doubt hit soon (if you haven't already). There is nothing there that is not worth many listens, but within that the linked pair of songs "the backboard / theory of everything" deserve your time
Oddly, there is a song titled Prescient , from another Arjen’s project called Star One which has two singers: Michael Mills and “the guy from Haken”. Check out because it’s damn good as well. Thanks for the react and great content. Greetings from Brazil
Get some Toehider on your playlist. I would suggest 'Whatever Makes You Feel Superior', the live version Mike did, if you want to hear some more of his excellent vocal range.
Thanks! I will do that!
The binaire translates into : trust th1. The mainframe that took over planet alpha
I thought "great he is pausing to look up artist's" and then you stopped pausing, thus WATCHING, the video to look up names. Are we reacting to a video or not🙏? Love pausing any day over not paying attention. Thank you for the info you did look up and share though, that was good😊
Yeah it's always a Balance. This one was tricky cause there's so much info coming in at all times. 😂
@@PrymalChaos I understand, thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated 👍
Nice to finally hear an Aussie opinion. Mt Sydney🤘
G'day Martin!
😮why have I never heard this!! How did I miss this!! Absolutely beautiful!❤
Binary to ASCII, Timo got it .Does it on another album, title coverts to 'Y'
Wonder if he'll dabble in Hex or Octal.....
Check out his StarOne projects and the band of young artists that he had done years ago called Stream of Passion. Think you'll really love them.
There is a reaction of Floor to "Ghost Love Score" 🙂 Biggest problem with Day that.... is that my fav singer is NOT in them, while she usually is. Anneke van Giersbergen from the Gathering. Try "Valley of the Queens"
I'm gonna have to check out that reaction.
Anneke joins Floor on tour!
You discovered Ayreon, so I discovered you. A little late, I’m sorry! But as long as you do Ayreon are any other Arjen Anthony Lucassen related stuff I’m with you!
I'm becoming quite the fan!
A small note on a small detail: There were other prominent bands out there besides Jethro Tull that used the flute. Here's an example from UK band Camel for your possible enjoyment - ua-cam.com/video/mpL52h7VtH0/v-deo.html
cool, Thank You.
May I suggest next "ayreon everybody dies" .. there is a Live-Version ❤🔥
Speaking of artists reacting to their own songs... Floor has done a reaction to ghost love score
If you want to know more about Simone Simmons and her band Epica, then this is a good song to start with, they are heavier than nightwish and ayreon but you might like it! this song i chose is in between not too heavy EPICA - The SKELETON KEY - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) (OFFICIAL VIDEO) ua-cam.com/video/zIZkvhiOUU8/v-deo.html
Bloodywood uses a flute in some of their heavy metal songs... and it's _amazing!!_
Now up to date with your reactions - The next most popular Ayreon track to be reacted to is ‘Everybody dies’ however that is no reason not to do it so hopefully you will.

Fellow You Tuber “The Charismatic Voice “ has an interview with Arjen Lucassen on her Channel. It is quite long but it is interesting.
Oh Elizabeth interviewed him? I'll check it out!
24:35 Like directors notes on DVD or Blue ray.
Being an Aussie I know you’d be familiar with Casey Chambers, but I’d really love it if you’d react to her live cover of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”. It’s Casey as I’ve never experienced her before and the world needs to see it!
The whole live ‘Universe’ concert is epic ❣️
Btw Arjen is very approachable so I would definitely ask him for an interview.
Actually Floor reacted to her own video of Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013 and she gives some nice insides.
ua-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/v-deo.html
Binary for Trust TH-1
Love your reaction. Arjen is a very nice and cool dude. I've seen various interviews of him with UA-camrs. If your video gets blocked, just sent him an email, and he will unblock it for you. So give it a try for an interview, I would love to see it. Like some already suggested Everybody Dies (live) is a good follow up. Michael Mills vocals are insane on this song.
The binary means TRUST TH1
I LOVE that.
A very cool album
When you like watching artists comment on a performance of themselves here is a 'reaction' video Floor made reacting to her epic performance of 'Ghost Love Score' at Wacken in 2013: ua-cam.com/video/QW_3F186_5Q/v-deo.html
It's Space Metal
Kinda funny how you could save half of your time googling by just reading Arjens subtitles, lol
If you liked Mike Mills, please consider reacting to Toehider - a criminally underrated band. The live versions of “Whatever makes you feel superior” and “How do ghosts work” are amazing.
On And On playthrough video is amazing too
The binary translation = trust TH1
In a similar vain Peter Hammills work 'The fall of the house of Usher' is a true rock opera that features: Peter Himself, Lene Lovich, Andy Bell of Erasure & Herbert Grönemeyer seriously could you get a more eclectic choir (there should be a better collective noun for 'rock' vocalists) in the room at the same time? Definitely worth a listen but doubt its generally available anywhere... ua-cam.com/video/zN8CdMKllSI/v-deo.html , seriously is nothing sacredly lost to obscurity these days.

Little silly that you were so busy _not_ paying attention to the video that you missed it telling you exactly what you were looking for.
(Referring to the section featuring Michael Mills.)
It is far better - if you are reacting to a video and you want to look something up - to just pause it.
Or make a very quick note and look up whatever you've noted down at the end.
floor did it

CD shop guy.
Can you a reaction literally 45 seconds of their to possible copyright? Arjen even commuted on your video. Try using filters.
Weird reaction (and I've seen so many for this particular song already) ... more focused on googling artists in the middle of the song although the subs explain it all anyways. Analysis not bad but it's really hard for me to watch reactions that don't seem to have respect for the song. Really unfortunate ...
