He still sounds as good as in the beginning so why don't they get him back and get rid of Ray he can't sing no more so why not get who everyone really likes and wants?
Should of seen the premier of this show at Hartford's (Ct's) Webster theater, their home base - the place went ballistic when they played these old classics, you could see the tears in John Arche's eyes filled with happiness .....things many of us, too young then, never expected we would ever see ! One of the most memorable shows I've ever seen.
I´m a huge Rock and Metal Fan since nearly 40 years but I didn´t know Fates Warning until I bought their "Live in Europe" Album this year. I was totally impressed and up to now I heard nearly all their Albums. For me there is no doubt that "Awaken the Guardian" is my all time favorit! I like Ray Alder very much - but John Arch is absolutely impressive! This live performance after all this years is one of the best I´ve ever heard!
With everyone (band and fans) clearly preferring John, why do they keep Ray? PC reasons? Stuck with a contract? Pity? The band said in interviews they would rather have john, will not play music from John's era with Ray (but play from ray's era with John) so get rid of the asshole who can't sing any more.
The guy literally uses his voice more like a actual instrument playing in the same signature and timing as the strings. Even to the point of using passing tones to move between different keys.....who does that? Lol
Im gonna get hate for this: Let me start by saying FW is probably my favorite band but after a song John's voice wears on my ears. So did Rays until he lowered his singing range. I saw them for the No Exit tour and many after, so I have the history. I tried listening to new Arch/Matheos same thing.
Arch voice is a sort of an acquired taste for sure. I love it, but I can understand some people get tired of it, because he stays on a high register most of the time.
So what happens in a case like this? They push out a sucky singer so the original can come back, sucky singer just sits it out and doesn't get paid? Shouldn't the fact that they never play songs from this singer's era live with Ray say it all about his "ability" as a singer?
John Arch , Jim Matheos, Frank Aresti, Joe Dibiase and Steve Zimmerman : pure gold!
Os Musick the giant lineup of lore
Absolutely
He still sounds as good as in the beginning so why don't they get him back and get rid of Ray he can't sing no more so why not get who everyone really likes and wants?
The classic lineup, Seriously, my dream come true. Wish I could i see this live.
On of the most musically significant performances in metal history! Bravo FW!
Brings back so many memories. Wore out my cassettes back in the day listening to this album. John still sounds amazing!
Same here. Got me through some shit.
The whole band sounds amazing.
Arch's vocals are spot on. Better than ever.
Arch is the shit
i love this band so damn much...
The incredible Arch! Who has that pitch nearly 35 years later??

Todd Shiveley that would have been great but seeing the original tour was good too
Todd Shiveley one of the best nights of my life
One of my favorite songs from that version of the band. John can still belt it out.
3 people who have no clue about metal thumbs down this. FATES RULES!
Ray alders' 3 family members? Actually I love both but they were more progressive with Arch.
The reply is ridiculous. Your comment however is on point.
Anyone that thumbs down is fucking retarded.
Idiots who for some unknown reason probably prefer no talent asshole Ray over John.
One of the BEST BAND OF ALL TIME TIMELESS 🤘🏼
30 anos depois a voz continua perfeita, com certeza TOP 5 entre os vocais do metal. Canta p caralho.
60 anos cantando assim

Absolutely incredible
Nothing else to say.
nailed it.
This is so fucking good, love that album damn
I could watch this ten times in row! John Arch still got those lungs !!
They NEED to continue playing with this line up , maybe as "Arch Matheos" , doesn´t matter . John Arch´s shape and voice are simply impressive .
José Maurício Gonzales Praxedes No kidding his voice is in great shape!
New Arch/Matheos this year, and a new Fates in 2020. We get both
Brilliant performance is just the start
PURE MAGIK!
surprising vocal
Tremendous
Probably my favorite Fates song
Awesomeeeeeee
Virginal goddess of hunt diiaannaaaa
Love how he bends pitch into that half step the first time around
The guy literally uses his voice more like a actual instrument playing in the same signature and timing as the strings. Even to the point of using passing tones to move between different keys.....who does that?

I wish they would take n make a album after Awaken the Guardian and it actually be all original members and that concept

I am searching an 80's or 90's live version but I could not find it.

Ray has no range any more so the band had to tone it all down to what sounds like music in a supermarket. The time for him to go was long ago.
Arch voice is a sort of an acquired taste for sure. I love it, but I can understand some people get tired of it, because he stays on a high register most of the time.
Next to Mozart and Michael Jackson in Music History
If these guys would play with NightWish with Floor....

May i know why arch leave the band??
@@yushululangathe took a job and left on his own.
Back then FW wasn't big enough to pay the bills. Arch became a father and had to decide between a dayjob or FW.
