Demis and Vangelis absolute brilliant

That guitar solo 🔥🌟🔥🌟🔥🌟🎸And them Drums🥁🥁🥁
Lucas Sideras on drums is absolute beast
Sadly both now in Heaven RIP Vangelis
One of the greatest psychedelic/prog rock tunes of all time. Criminally Underated...but damn...so good!
LOOK ON MY PLAYLIST.

copied so many times by english and american artists
Why do people keep saying that on so many groups/bands that were absolutely NOT underrated? Vangelis, for one, was a well know musical giant till his passing about six months ago, which makes it about two months before you wrote your comment. Demis Roussos was also a well-known artist. I humbly admit not knowing the other members. Having said that, Psychedelic Rock was a niche genre, but not underrated
Your right so gooooood.
It's 2024.
Im 62 from Dublin Ireland, now living stateside.
I found AD in '78.
Who's still listening?
AD? APHRODITE'S DAD?
The same age in Japan. The Aegean Sea happened to be introduced on a radio program popular among young people in the mid-70s, and Aphrodite's Child 666 became quite popular among our generation in Japan. The fact that the CD continues to be reissued over and over again proves its enduring popularity.
My mother is from Drimnagh. We live in Memphis. 666 blown mind
I am 52 years old and I can not believe I hear this song for the first time....what a classic forgotten masterpeace. Thank you so much!
My dad loved him , played it from when I was a baby , since he passed last year I only listen to his music ❤️
My music over 40 years and its the best
I`m 62 and it blew my mind as I listened to it for the first time, so great !
Yes, thank you !
48 and so do I
I think this is one of the best songs ever made...
Let us not forget the super guitar playing of Anargyros Koulouris in this song!
And the brilliant drumming. One of the best prog rock tracks of all time.
Argiris best solo
The drum sound on this record is what analog enthusiasts will be forever chasing in the digital world.
Yes, that's absolutely true!
The drums on this are brilliant.
This was recorded well before digital technology provided an easy and affordable way to add reverb ambience to recordings. There were only two options back then: an actual echo chamber room wired with speakers and microphones that used up valuable real estate OR an expensive and also very large directly wired "plate" reverb panel device that also required a sizable space for isolation. I would love to know the details of how they achieved this incredible drum sound.
70s prog had the greatest drum sound ever in rock
Yes, the perfect era! 16 to 24 track tech allowing properly panned instruments and running at 15 inches per second (the sixties mostly 4 to 8 track at half that speed reducing the fidelity). Prog rock creativity at its best before over-production 🙂
Fucking Ford Kuga's ad brought me here. I can't believe this is the first time I'm hearing this masterpiece!
Me too! Absolutely fantastic! Somehow I feel ashamed, because I laughed about Demis' performance in Germany when I was a small boy. Only because his performance was reduced to "German Schlager". Today at the age of 51 I first recognise the lifetime achievment. Απίστευτα όμορφο!
Same,thank Ford!
The whole album "'666-χξς" is masterpiece! Many decades progressive! Vangelis Papathanasiou, Silver Koulouris, Demis Rousos, Loukas Sideris, the 4 , " Aphrodite's Child".
Haha, same!
Haha 😄 same here
The drums kicking into the second chorus are like CANNONS!
This is a legendary cut!
Loukas Sideras. First time I heard him, I thought he was Bonham's lost Greek cousin .
indeed
came here to comment on that, that drum break just does it for me, amazing
😄@@forwhomthebelltolls
I haven't heard it for years and I thought I'd overestimated the drums, but yes, that second one when it kicks in shot me full of dopamine
A masterpiece. Period. Lukas Sideras' drumming on this track is from another planet. Eternal respect.
non dimentichiamo la chitarra di Silver Kouloris
Come no!
Agree, and superb bluesy guitar solo by Silver Koulouris.
Lucas Sideras extraordinaire batteur ❤❤❤❤
Vangelis brought me here. RIP Demis and Vangelis
Against all the probabilities in the 70's. Happened, someone coming outside a native english language country, 2 music genius, above average joined.. than splited and were a success all over the world. You left your mark. Vangelis and Demis Roussos
Rest In Peace Βαγγέλη Παπαθανασίου Από τους μεγαλύτερους Έλληνες μουσικούς .Μεγαλούργισες !!! 🙏

I can't find words to describe this masterpiece, the whole album is a relic, one of the best progressive rock albums of all time!
Aphrodite child, Demis Roussos and Vangelis for the world Greetings from Peru to all of Greece, a country that I wish to visit one day
🇬🇷🤝🇵🇪 ❤❤❤
Cypress is more breath Taking but watch out for the Monitor !
Whenever you cant and want you are more than welcome. Any help that you need just ask. Seriously talking
I somehow still have this album on vinyl.. handed down through my family.. and still in great condition..
@katyja8812 my best friend and I wore out this album. Must have played it 1,000 times. 😅
I lived in Greece. My wife was greek. And I remember some Greek.
But I did not know that Vangelis was a member of that band...
I never heard a voice like that of Demis Roussos and I never will again. RIP Demis and Vangelis.
R.I.P vangelis .....how many knew this was the composer of chariots of fire and demis rousos of "forever and ever" ....
Roussos, Vangelis, Sideras and Koulouris were ahead of their Time. Thanks to Greece ! I pray for its Wonderful People ! God Bless always Greece !
Yes,they were ahead of their time and for that we all appreciate them!They were great!👍🏻👏🏻
Best regards from Belgrade 🍻 My brother's from Greece 🎶
🙏🏻🤩
💙🇬🇷🤘
My mom absolutely loved this song. I would hear it playing on her stereo almost every weekend when she would be getting ready to go out. She passed away a few years ago, and I miss her more than words can describe. But I will keep this song alive and listen to it in my mom’s honor until the day I die. Thank you for so many great memories, and for giving me the best childhood i could have asked for.
I miss you, mom.
R.I.P beloved Mother ❤️❤️❤️ I send much positive Power 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your mom had great taste.
You really hit my nerve with this comment - all the best to You, mate - Your mom will always live in Your memories and it shows that You grew up in a very good relationship with Your parents like me. Psychedelic Greets from Germany and stay heavy! \m/
🙏🏻
This is my pre-game song before a friday night out too. Her tradition is alive and well here and all over the world.
I still have 666 in my collection. The Four Horsemen was my favorite, Brings me back to my senior year in HS. I absolutely love the guitar solo. RIP Vangelis.
Hey, same here! Bought this album when it came out. I was 17 and still love it.
I don't think it is a stretch at all to say that this is one of the single best songs ever recorded. It's both haunting and entirely transformational. Once you have heard it, you are never the same person again.
one of the most under-rated rock songs ever
underated for nOObs only
Not underrated by those who know😉
@@mattiemclean9882 exactly ✌ P.S. now listen new album Wishbone Ash - Coat Of Arms - amazing album!
Maybe.... Not by me
@@MisterWillow correct, overlooked maybe but not underrated, not by those who matter. underrated used way too much in ref to many songs on here,
Appearance of a bear but voice of an angel, hands down this song is legendary.
ahahaha holy words
A
Hell yeah!! :)
jaaaaaaaajahaha :D
Greeks we have arts....
Being a teenager in the 70's was the best. So much fantastic music!
@@jeffreyhuddleston1102 Heavy Metal: Yes. Rap? What a crap.
Counterpoint: Today you can listen to all the same music (I mean, we're both here listening to Aphrodite's Child, after all) but much easier than in the 70s before the internet existed. The rate of new good music might have slowed, but our cultural back catalog is more accessible than ever.
@@jeffreyhuddleston1102 Symphonic that is for me.
First heard music in the late 60s I was 12 in 75 I've been discovering things I missed ever since.
@@runetollefsen7458Small brain moment
I was born in 1965 - had 2 older brothers and sisters....I can remember this song very clearly when I was a young girl....blew me away then.....and still does...Vangelis was a genius songwriter....soundtrack for the recent Blade Runner is mind blowing....!!
Yes,I am German and born in 1962.A little bit too young for this music but when I became older I was atttracted by the Hippie-movement.And there I found this wonderful music!
My friends and I found this Album as teenagers and recorded it on cassette....played it Over and over....... while Tripping in Abandoned Sanitarium !....and just re discovered it....and Just as Awesome at 59 years old !!
Simply fucking great. This band is a real legend... Vangelis and Aphrodite's Child´s music are imprinted in my neuronal soul...
A great great band, the never the success they deserves. Better than all the other bands of that era, and we are talking about the greatest bands ever!
Oh my. I wish I was back in time. There’s no music like this these days
Timeless. Universal. Intergalactic.
I repeat: the best progressive piece of music I've ever heard.
Supercool even for 2023!!!
The guitar solo is perfect
I agree. The tone, the execution, the "presence" remind me Free Bird from L. S. in a certain way
The Ford Kuga brought me here, and am so happy it did. I had totally forgotten this masterpiece
Idem ditto ✌🤘
same
Same here! Demis had an awesome voice. So sad he's no longer with us.
Hey there - the stunning and abbsolute unique voice brought me here (I don't even know about Ford Kuga 😊) Love this Song for ever!
Sweet Greetings from Germany to Cymru - Iove your lovely country
Roussos and Vangelis...RIP...thanks for your music!
OMG Just gets better and better!!
I remember when I bought the Album 1986 in the World of music in Munich. I didn't now what I bought but the cover looked cool. 1986 I was 18 year old. Today when I hear these tracks again, I realize that they have a great influence of my understanding of music.
Thank you for that.
Extraordinary voice & keyboard with the others brilliant beside - nearly lightyears infront
This was music from musicians for music lovers. When i comare this to the things on the Radio today i feel very sad.
I know, it only makes you feel bad for what has gotten to be called music now.
Absolutely true!
Rest in peace Vangelis, you and Demis Roussos with your music will never die and always be remember.
I can't stand still at this solo. It's the best I've ever heard, even better than Sultans of Swing (live).
Εδωσες τοσα πολλά στην Ελλάδα και την παγκοσμια μουσική σκηνή...αμφιβάλλω εαν έλαβες απο εμάς οσα σου άξιζαν...
Sosta
Υποκλινομαι....
One of the best guitar solos ever made. Amazing song.
Anargyros "Silver" Koulouris is considered the best Greek rhythm guitarist and one of the best lead guitarists (I personally think his is the best Greek guitarist, period)
Absolutely love it. This LP is still with me and this song is truly in my top 5 favorite songs of all time.
Yes,sir.
Yes,sir.
I am 56 and hear it for the first time 👍
Rest In Peace Vangelis... Your music was very present in my childhood... Thank you 🤍
Aphrodite's Child ... Demis Roussos and Vangelis.... in the same band This is still so underated in 2021
I love this Album since the first time I ever heart it👍😇😘
This album will always stand as a masterpiece. RIP Vangelis.
This is the only good song on it...
@@andrewdevine3920how about Rain and Tears and My Friend The Wind?
Incredible music that should be far more widely known and appreciated. RIP Vangelis. The word genius is so often bandied about when someone dies. It definitely applies to him. Thanks for the music...xx
The last 15 years this track has played in clubs in London.
RIP Vangelis 🇬🇷
Genius ✌️
Yes indeed , and we are living the apocalipsis NOW !!!
Rest in peace Vangelis
Yes, It's so great music!R.I.P.Vangelis
Absolute crime that he was just something to mock in the UK, mainstream!
Awesome !!!!!!!! Since I was a child I Heard To This Wonderfull Masterpiece !!!LOVE U BOth !!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE APHRODITEs CHiLd !!!!!!!!! FOREVER!!!!!!
I cannot believe this song is being used in a car advert now. Massive surprise.
@@bonnyscottland192 If not for that commercial I'd have never known the song exists.
@@darkwoods1954 would be a shame
i saw the advert today, i was like Omg no way, top top tune!
Me to Dark Woods, can't believe I've not heard it before! Been a rocker for decades haha :-D
The song is still fresh in 2021! Amazing
I was totally mind-blown when I first heard this track. Aphrodites Child 666 album is one of the finest and most mystical Prog albums ever made. You have to hear the entire double album to realise how awesome it actually is.
Ain't that the truth buddy. Ive been listening to it for 48 years!!!!!!
It's fantastic. Beautifully arranged and performed.
Yes all the seats were occupied
It's a cracking album, but I couldn't play it in the car as I could imagine in busy traffic during the summer playing it with the windows down and wanting to hide when the "orgasm" track comes on. I forget the title of the track and it's too late to go downstairs and look it up!
@@andrewhaines3259 I know what you mean about that track!! The title is, if I recall without going to look, the Omega symbol.
Why did I not know Demis Roussos and Vangelis were in a prog rock band together??? Loved their solo stuff but this was so cool!!
It's just one album that is prog rock. Vangelis almost exclusively made it too
Rest in Peace Musical Genius, light years ahead of our times, of every music ever produced.
This is one of those very rare, entirely transformational tracks that they will STILL be talking about well over 100 years from now.
This song in a car ad is the first sign of the apocalypse
Its the car ad that brought me here.
Same
hope , not
One of my favourite songs of all time, thanks to Richard Ashcroft. Gutted to see it in a car ad.
Ford are also right behind this 6uild 6ack 6etter crap. It is starting to get slightly concerning
Everyone is talking about Demis and vangelis, but listen to the drummer. He is amazing
Yeah, definitely!
The drumming is a major part of this track.
They were all incredible musicians
The drumming has always been the aspect of this song that stuck out to me the most. I'm surprised that it goes so unnoticed to others...
Any relationship to Demis Rousos?
@@liawed yes it’s him in the band.
Your music will never die
Nicely said
Für die Ewigkeit 😀😀😀😀
R.I.P DEMIS ROUSSOS! PEACE AND LOVE FROM SUNNY KAZAKHSTAN!
Best guitar solo of all time in my opinion, absolutely mind bending how good it is
this whole song is one of the greatest imo
I have never, in my 35 years of existence heard a better guitar solo.
That's my opinion.
The only other guitar solo that is on the same level as the one in this track is the one in Funkadelic's Maggot Brain. Both of these songs are just absolute Master Classes in how to do an INSANELY GREAT guitar solo. Simply world class!
Ypu shouda heard it on acid acid acid...
4:30 - about 4 bum notes. Not a problem?
Demi and Irene met Vageli again yesterday. Aphrodite's child in paradise .Legends can't die
Rip Vageli 💔
Incredible, sounds so fresh and it was made 50 years ago
One of the great freak out tracks. I discovered this as a 14 year old on a Vertigo comp called Suck it and see in '73. Fucking genius.
RIP Vangelis. One of a kind.
Sono nato nel '69. Da bimbo mio zio aveva 3 locali ( dancing). Ricordo bene questa canzone.......bei tempi. Rip zio Costantino
How and why i missed out on these is criminal
Demis Roussos had a terrific voice, but I can't stop listening to his bass work on this song
Epic Guitar Solo from Anargyros Koulouris !!!!
Non posso credere a quello che sento! È meraviglioso: i miei occhi sono pieni di lacrime.
🤘
@@severinoturri4327 Il Roussos che non ti aspetti poi ❤️
Great guitar indeed
Dave Navarro must've been listening to it on his Walkman.
Yes, I am here to pay sad tribute to the Legendary Vangelis - Rest in Peace.
I'm 45 and I grew up with this stuff: my pa had a cassette of them and played It every day 🤩🤩🤩

Question. Is this band Greek Orthodox?
Невозможно передать, насколько прекрасна эта песня. Бриллиант в платиновой оправе на подставке из метеорита. Бесконечное восхищение!!!
Not everyone nows that. Glad you know it
The best progressive music i've ever heard.
Intergallactic!!!!! RIP Βαγγέλη..
I'm high as fuck sitting in a bus driving through the countryside in germany it's a warm and sunny day song fits so perfect
I live in the United States in St Louis Missouri in the city. Just got home from jiu-jitsu this song is so relaxing for soreness. God bless
Please tell me you weren’t actually driving said bus....
@@trainbloke5091 of course not it was public transport
This is so good. How in the world can I have missed This all these years.
1972 or 71. And today we lost Vangeli
Exactly what I was thinking. How did I get all the way to 2023 before ever coming across this song? I wish someone would have told me about this track DECADES ago!

You went together with Demis
A timeless classic 🎶❤️🎶
Can't believe this Track 47 Years old. Great Quality from Greece. Awesome, wonderful, timeless. Best Progessive Rock; love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
