John West is a world-class singer. Not just in Artension or Royal Hunt--he is an incredible singer on his own. The control and vibrato he exerts on songs like "Phoenix Rising" or "Valley of the Kings" are unmatched... and then you hear him live and he is still just as good. Truly a musician of the highest caliber!
One of my favorite Royal Hunt songs. Finally I see it Live. Any more songs off that DVD would be much appreciated. A shame John West has parted ways, he's one of the best lead singers you'll find on the planet. More! More!!
I agree! They're my favorite band! John West is amazing one of the best singers I've ever heard. He's got superb range. The guitar is always soaring with the keyboard and I love that they are a bit like Deep Purple or Stratovarius or Kayak (The Dutch Band) in that respect. I think Royal Hunt stand up as the most exciting melodic hard rock band off all time. I'm including in there a lot of other amazing bands. Royal Hunt are the best!
Such a great video! I can't believe my ears. Me and my wife being residents of St. Petersburg were at that show and frankly speaking the sound was lousy John's mighty voice was hardly ever heard.
This was the best line-up RH ever had, and it shows. The chemistry and the energy in this DVD is unmatched in any other live performance of the band. Jidell is a monster, riffing and soloing (he incremented many of the original guitar lines, making the songs sound way more interesting). It's a shame Jidell, Olsen, Schelander and West have all parted ways with RH. Paper Blood is among their best albums; Paradox II was also amazing.. but after that, the band sadly went in a downward spiral. Not because of DC (he is still good in spite of the steep decline in his voice), but the songwriting as a whole has suffered a lot.
This is mostly spot-on! I do like the two comeback albums with DC Cooper though. As for Paradox Pt 2, its a fantastic album but I think Mark Boals is not the right guy for it.
it absolutely sucks the way Royal hunt and other bands remove their videos from RUclips so everyone must pay for the privilege of listening or watching them like these people don't have enough money as it is bands like Royal hunt forget who made them famous the people that pay all the money to see them live and buy their albums and then they do this Petty crap on RUclips
"Move along it takes too long, you're holding back the line!" I tell you -we've been waiting here forever "Go ahead, don't worry-yet-'coz everything is fine" A brand new world for us-it's now or never We'll change the rules for those native fools Hail intervention-we're under one flag 'coz we are on the mission and we'll never go back Now we're on the mission-the average man is down on his knees, so he won't understand Above the suspicion and fear of the law we do what we do what it takes to continue the war The mission's right over your head "It's not what you think"-as it's always been said No visible victims-we're very discrete There's no turning back 'til the day when the mission's complete "Hurry up and check the map, there must be something left" Nobody's getting rich by moving slower "Torch their towns, forget the clowns accusing us in theft" Remember how it works-we're taking over! It could be strange and will need some changes, so... Hail intervention-we're under one flag 'coz we are on the mission and we'll never go back
this is the best group setup in my opinion.the other guitar player was a nob with gear and a band (no timing,No harmonics,2 scales & only-6 figures as far i know,he was always trying to catch the rhythm. the bass player has improved alot,and man! the other drummer just sucked. im glad the keyboard guy changed those guys his music and lyrics deserve it.
mrk boals is a shadow of what it used to be.get dc cooper or west back.royal hunt is not what it used to be.only ego man remains from the original formation.reunion now!!!!
Brillante banda voces hermosas muy profesionales desde sus inicios todos maestros de la musica los sigo siempre Sonia Guerrero desde Argentina💝💝💝👏👏👏👏

And very underated, the one and only john west
@@ramcatchtherainbow thanks for the reply... 8 years since the original comment, but it still stands!
John is the best
Джон вест лучший и самый разнообразный вокал, не только у хантов, но и во всей музыке...
Lo mejor que tuvo Royal Hunt en materia de cantantes... lejos... JOHN WEST!!!
Dc is great too. even Mark was great.
Красота!
One of my favorite Royal Hunt songs. Finally I see it Live. Any more songs off that DVD would be much appreciated. A shame John West has parted ways, he's one of the best lead singers you'll find on the planet. More! More!!

So true, John excels here.

Marco is perfect harmony... Great solos and bases! André andersen's melody incribles...
The one and only, Mr John West
couldnt have said it better myself
Cool man!
Спасибо! \m/
Dont retired!!!!
I Recommend an album where John West sings. The album is called Sevdah metal and recorded with an awesome guitarist from Bosnia EMIR HOT.
One of the best. JOHN WEST RULES!
Se perdio demasiado poder con su salida , que buenos tiempos con west y jidell, ya no es lo mismo
it absolutely sucks the way Royal hunt and other bands remove their videos from RUclips so everyone must pay for the privilege of listening or watching them like these people don't have enough money as it is bands like Royal hunt forget who made them famous the people that pay all the money to see them live and buy their albums and then they do this Petty crap on RUclips
@dhx001 Oh Yeah, Great album!
John West was very attractive!
"Move along it takes too long, you're holding back the line!"
I tell you -we've been waiting here forever
"Go ahead, don't worry-yet-'coz everything is fine"
A brand new world for us-it's now or never
We'll change the rules for those native fools
Hail intervention-we're under one flag
'coz we are on the mission and we'll never go back
Now we're on the mission-the average man
is down on his knees, so he won't understand
Above the suspicion and fear of the law
we do what we do what it takes to continue the war
The mission's right over your head
"It's not what you think"-as it's always been said
No visible victims-we're very discrete
There's no turning back 'til the day when the mission's
complete
"Hurry up and check the map, there must be something left"
Nobody's getting rich by moving slower
"Torch their towns, forget the clowns accusing us in theft"
Remember how it works-we're taking over!
It could be strange and will need some changes, so...
Hail intervention-we're under one flag
'coz we are on the mission and we'll never go back
i dont have royal hunt videos, but i have others bootlegs and official concerts.
Don't worry dude Mark Boals kick serious ass
who have this dvd?
"I am the girl behind the band , you see me or not ? ''
Gotta love playback :)
this is the best group setup in my opinion.the other guitar player was a nob with gear and a band (no timing,No harmonics,2 scales & only-6 figures as far i know,he was always trying to catch the rhythm. the bass player has improved alot,and man! the other drummer just sucked. im glad the keyboard guy changed those guys his music and lyrics deserve it.
As much as I like the current version of the band, this setup was the most rocking.
YOU ARE 100% CORRECT. John West is the WORLDS BEST. In a class all by himself,I don't give a damn who it is West is beyond compare..DC who.
@dkkght46 I hope you are right and made it final.
mrk boals is a shadow of what it used to be.get dc cooper or west back.royal hunt is not what it used to be.only ego man remains from the original formation.reunion now!!!!
can you trade with me?
i think u don't know what u r talking about
i preferr West than Boals live ...
excellent band!too bad John West has left
andersen listen to your public.WE DO NOT WANT BOALS!!!!!!!!
because boals isn't anywhere near west in terms of skill. He doesn't deserve to be in a band that produces vocally geared music.
West sings well... I prefer Michael Jackson.
