I'm glad you discovered this song. I heard this song real time at Shibuya Kokaido. This live set list has 20 songs, surprisingly this song is 19th. Despite the end, their performance is amazing...
Classical music translates so well to metal, doesn't it? What a composition an arrangement. What's great about Galneryus is that they write a lot of bright, major-key pieces; they just have an epic, feel-good quality that makes me wanna don my superhero cape. "The Promised Flag" also from the Angel of Salvation album ,is one of my faves.
My dude if you're looking for soulful guitar solos, I'd say Dir en Grey has quite a handful of very deep emotional guitar playing (as well as the vocals even more so). One solo that comes to mind that just sings despair is the one from Different Sense (warning that the video is very provocative and NSFW, they often do stuff like that for shock value). They have a lot of other really great stuff too but that's one where the solo in particular comes to mind. A good general first time all around song is Vinushka, and i recommend the Androgynous Live version for that song but the Uroboros Remastered and Expanded album version is also EXCELLENT. They're a band like Galneryus that is VERY good in studio and often even better live (although kyo has basically burned his voice out in the past and sometimes does not sound so great late in tour; the consequences of putting 150% into every performance i guess?)
Galneryus is astounding. I don't rank musicians or anything, but if I'm starting a band and need two guitarists, Syu of Galneryus and Hal-Ca of Asterism are my dream team.
i normally just lurk in your videos but for galneryus i just have to say i know this band for almost 20 years now and for me they are still on my playlist and always hoping more people get to know them and react to it like you do right now. they are an amazing band with both their singers and syu to me is the best guitar player in the world
Big power metal fan here, and listening Galneryus since 2007 or so. Many other bands lose their touch after a while, but they just constantly keep getting better and better, even though they already started out strong. Very underrated band, probably cause they are not from Europe or USA.
Classic Galneryus, very underrated band! Yes, they did anime songs such as HUNTING FOR YOUR DREAM, A FAR-OFF DISTANCE etc, the vocalist Masatoshi Ono also known as "SHO" is a beast (Angel of Salvation is like very easy game for him, you haven't seen anything yet) and very well known in Japan no wonder the best of his time period, he also did the best Japanese ballads ever (You're the Only ･･･ & MOON TEARS etc) having his solo career just before he entered Galneryus in 2009 as a guest after the former member & vocalist YAMA-B left (another great vocalist), but he came to stay and make Galneryus his home and from there he also did Departure from the anime HxH alongside HUNTING FOR YOUR DREAM (he is a songwriter and vocal coach, he & Syu compose together as well as the pianist Yuhki) and also credited for other anime related songs like MURAMASA & covers such as Ai wo torimodose from the band Crystal King. Some incredible songs I suggest reacting by Galneryus: THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION, RISE UP, NO MORE TEARS, WINNING THE HONOR, TEAR OFF YOUR CHAIN, SPIRIT OF STEEL, STAND UP FOR THE RIGHT, Struggle for the freedom flag, LAST NEW SONG, Never Again & Quiet wish. Sorry if I wrote a lot I'm just a big fan of this band lol (I love them as much as BABYMETAL). I can provide links to high quality video of the lives if you wish.
Yeah, he is the composer and singer from the HxH openings and the 2nd ending "hunting for your dream", actually they have a full version with the band, is more "metalish" if you want to check it out is called Departure
This is awesome! I've heard a good handful of Galneryus songs, but this might have to go on the list! I'd definitely give "Destiny" a spin soon. The guitar solos in that one just punch you right in the soul, in the best kind of way. Crazy how unknown this band is outside of Japan.
Congratulations Wolf Brother. You just had the Great Fortune to discover one of the greatest Metal/Rock bands of All Time through their Most Epic Performance. This is the Japanese version of Dream Theater. Period.
Galneryus has done heaps of amazing songs also for the first half of the band they had a different vocalist YAMA-B and their style evolves and changes throughout the years. So some good songs I would recommend are the force of courage, raise my sword, angel of salvation, brutal spiral of emotions, whatever it takes (raise our hands), T.F.F.B, destiny, hunting for your dream, ultimate sacrifice, everlasting, whisper in the red sky, struggle for the freedom flag, united flag, the flag of reincarnation, and chasing the wind.
Great musicianship by all, I enjoyed the performance. I did seem to get a bit long at the end but that was likely due to the live performance. Not necessarily what listen to, but i can appreciate a fine performance of a great song. ❤ and ✌️ all
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody yes the openings and the 2nd ending Both have full version The hunting for your dream(Ending HXH) have a official music video I'm not sure about the departure (opening HXH)
Try their darker sounding song, "The Followers". Epic, with guitar, bass & keyboard taking turn in the solo section. And the vocalist operatic voice too. 😁
The singer’s voice was great and so was everyone else. That white guitar had lots of emotion. I know bansd are supposed to almost drown out the singer, but I wish the singer was easier to o hear
Well, I enjoyed the string introduction, cause I love classical music. I wouldn't listen to the rest, but I recognize the talent. It got a bit too technical for my taste, although the solo was great
The base of this song - Tchaikovsky in D major Op. 35 is considered an extremely technical piece. As a power metal band, they won’t allow themselves to lose to the original piece in terms of technicality. Many metal musicians are classically trained because they seek to improve in originality but not giving up the skills so they can shove it up the classical snob’s ass. For that reason alone, they have to be technical. If you like classical music, you should have no grounds to be hating on skills imo because the reason why classical snobs exist in the first place is because these people think all other music are trash mainly due to their lack of technical competency compared to classical.
All in all I liked it. This is a very tight band and the musicianship is wonderful. I did think that, by the end, it got repetitive and I found that I was ready for it to end.
I'm sure you've been recommended Departure & Hunting For Your Dream to death. I recommend the live versions of both. Outside of those, I recommend "Raise My Sword", "Force Of Courage", "Destiny", "Brutal Spiral Of Emotion", "Ultimate Sacrifice", "My Hope Is Gone", & "The End Of The Line". With all of those, I'd say stick to the live versions, especially with Ultimate Sacrifice (the MV fades out mid guitar solo. Worst editing decision ever).

agree completely. It was so good here and just fits perfrctly
I was actually describing them to a friend as "riding a dragon into victory through the bright shining sky while it breathes fire"

I will have to look into em
Galneryus is astounding. I don't rank musicians or anything, but if I'm starting a band and need two guitarists, Syu of Galneryus and Hal-Ca of Asterism are my dream team.
Hahah ya no doubt! This was amazing
syu and herman li is good pair too
@@dikolotus7996For real, I wanna see them jam together. Herman should invite Syu on his live
Hell yeah
Most of their song is above 6 minutes.
And they do it live for 10 song or more😁

yo thanks so much for saying Hi! Yea this blew me away. I loved it!
Yes they did the opening "departure" and the 2nd ending "hunting for your dream" for the anime Hunter X Hunter
THAT HYPES ME UP SO MUCH MORE!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelodyI discovered them through hunter x hunter. Now I have a album in work, basically fully dedicated to them.

I knew that you would like! I told you, thanks for listening to my Patreon recommendation. I knew it was going to blow your mind.
MY MIND IS STILL BLOWN!

Metal genre its not just form the deepest of hell but also can from above heaven.
indeed
I like your analogy
I just felt the same way the first time I heard them, I was in heaven headbanging, it is a really happy song, I love it. thx for your reaction
Amazing! I love this! I've got a lot of "new" music and bands to check out on my days off and after my shifts on the days I do work. Awesome!
RIGHT! I was in awe for all 17 mins!
Yeah, he is the composer and singer from the HxH openings and the 2nd ending "hunting for your dream", actually they have a full version with the band, is more "metalish" if you want to check it out is called Departure
They did the opening for Hunter x Hunter 2011 "Departure" and 2nd ending "Hunting for your dream"
I KNEW HE SOUNDED FAMILAR!!! I have some HxH tattoos
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody Cool man. You should check those two songs, the studio version. It's good
❤️🔥THEY INDEED ARE THE BEST.❤️🔥
its wild how syu(lead gitarist) can remember whole songs , all there songs are long
Pure epicness. When you blend a classical masterTjajkovskij and one of the best guitarist you got this!
Dude....this blew my mind
This is awesome! I've heard a good handful of Galneryus songs, but this might have to go on the list!
I'd definitely give "Destiny" a spin soon. The guitar solos in that one just punch you right in the soul, in the best kind of way. Crazy how unknown this band is outside of Japan.
Bro the tone and emotion was so felt! S Tier song
Agreed mate , doesn’t get much better than this
Congratulations Wolf Brother. You just had the Great Fortune to discover one of the greatest Metal/Rock bands of All Time through their Most Epic Performance. This is the Japanese version of Dream Theater. Period.
No way. I was going to recommend these guys!
HELLL YA, I kept thinkin about ya during this song!😂
Holy trinity
Art of life - X Japan
Angel of salvation - Galneryus
Faith and decision - Versailles
Best performance❤
I love how everything is done for this to be epic. And it does it!!!❤
This was awesome, indeed! Great great discovery 💎
Dude so glad you liked this. ❤
I felt the same way finishing the song for the first time. Loved your reaction keep it up with them, they are great.
They did the Hunting for your Dream intro from HxH indeed. Good ear!
Galneryus has done heaps of amazing songs also for the first half of the band they had a different vocalist YAMA-B and their style evolves and changes throughout the years. So some good songs I would recommend are the force of courage, raise my sword, angel of salvation, brutal spiral of emotions, whatever it takes (raise our hands), T.F.F.B, destiny, hunting for your dream, ultimate sacrifice, everlasting, whisper in the red sky, struggle for the freedom flag, united flag, the flag of reincarnation, and chasing the wind.
There's one more LIVE I love from this band , galneryus - brutal spiral of emotions (live)
Great musicianship by all, I enjoyed the performance. I did seem to get a bit long at the end but that was likely due to the live performance. Not necessarily what listen to, but i can appreciate a fine performance of a great song. ❤ and ✌️ all
I know I’m a bit late but in my opinion “the awakening” by them is another must
This reminds me, you should check the live version of art of life by X-Japan. It's a long song but totally worth.
I recommend Hunting for your dream by the same band Galneryus
It's from Hunter X Hunter 2nd ending
SO THEY DID DO HXH!?!?!?!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody yes the openings and the 2nd ending
Both have full version
The hunting for your dream(Ending HXH) have a official music video
I'm not sure about the departure (opening HXH)
@@ezes5153They've done a live version of Departure, plus an English version of it as well.
Try their darker sounding song, "The Followers". Epic, with guitar, bass & keyboard taking turn in the solo section. And the vocalist operatic voice too. 😁
He sang the opening and ending in HXH you're right.
OMGGGG Thats amazing!
if you like this you've got to listen the live version of "Faith and Decision" from Versailles, its a amazing song too
Galneryus is the band that basically answers the question: What if Stratovarious hadn't gone to shit after Timo Tolki left?
They didn't at all. Matias composing and technique is pretty amazing. It reminds me of syu also (not in that level ofc)

Syu 🤘😠🤘🎸
Recommended. The Pretty Wreckless , miss nothing
Наш Сю ,самый лучший !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
LOVEEEED THIS SONG SO MUCH!
I think the guitarist's guitar just broke the iron melting temperature.
The singer’s voice was great and so was everyone else. That white guitar had lots of emotion. I know bansd are supposed to almost drown out the singer, but I wish the singer was easier to o hear
OH yeah ! you reacted to it !!!!
If you like this more Neo-Classical style of Power Metal, I would strongly recommend you check out Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire and Stratovarius
HUNTING FOR YOUR DREAM , Hunter X Hunter Ending 2
The vocalist Sho has done anime openings the band has not
huntig for your dream, one of the endings 2011 version
One of my fav bandds and songs of all time!!!!
Well, I enjoyed the string introduction, cause I love classical music. I wouldn't listen to the rest, but I recognize the talent. It got a bit too technical for my taste, although the solo was great
I can see what you mean ❤

There's guitarists who are good. And then there's Syu. Guy is on another level.
Please react more Galneryus live performance 🎸
All in all I liked it. This is a very tight band and the musicianship is wonderful. I did think that, by the end, it got repetitive and I found that I was ready for it to end.
I can see that after guitar solo 7 lol
the original recording feel repetitive and bland, I dont like it too much. Then I watch the live version and suddenly it became grand!!
Please do more galneryus reactions Destiny, Brutal Spiral of Emotion, Force of courage are some popular choices
I'm sure you've been recommended Departure & Hunting For Your Dream to death. I recommend the live versions of both. Outside of those, I recommend "Raise My Sword", "Force Of Courage", "Destiny", "Brutal Spiral Of Emotion", "Ultimate Sacrifice", "My Hope Is Gone", & "The End Of The Line". With all of those, I'd say stick to the live versions, especially with Ultimate Sacrifice (the MV fades out mid guitar solo. Worst editing decision ever).
React to Hunting for your dream music video same band Galneryus
Please reaction another one form galneryus, one more please,.
I enjoyed the strings. The vocals were ok,not exactly my thing. Guitar solo was great.
❤ Much love my brother
Ok?
@@A1000-b9s OK Indeed.
