For Wolfman’s benefit, since he doesn’t remember us saying this before….the keyboardist, Joost Van Den Broek, started as a teenager in a band called After Forever, whose singer was an also teen-aged Floor Jansen. They released several albums before they broke up in 2009…they even toured Europe opening for Nightwish. Since After Forever, he has worked with tons of artists and produced even more, including Epica and Blind Guardian. He’s also been working with his old friend Floor on her solo material. Oh, and he’s actually SIR Joost, as he was knighted by the Dutch royals. Peter Vink, the guy with the pink bass, is Arjen’s favorite bass player…he was in a popular Dutch band in the 1960s called Q65, and a more progressive band called Finch during the 1970s. The female singer here is Magali (Maggy) Luyten. She’s from Belgium and currently sings in a band called The Prize.
Joost is one of my most favorites on the Hammond keyboards - loved that Hammond sound ever since the 70's with Ken Hensley doing July Morning with Uriah Heep
All Star One compositions are homages to Science-Fiction, whether it be films, TV shows or books. This is particular song is inspired by the British TV sci-fi show 'Blake's Seven' from the early eighties. Terry Nation who is the shows author, is also the gentleman who created The Daleks from Doctor Who. That's it really.
This song is a song from heavy metal supergroup Star One from the album Space Metal 2002! Star One members: Arjen Anthony Lucassen, guitars, keyboards, hammond organ Ed Warby, Drums Russell Allen, vocals Damian Wilson, vocals Dan Swano, vocals Floor Jansen, vocals The lead vocalist was Maggy Luyten from Belgium. The keyboard player is Sir Joost van den Broek.
There is a reason Joost is Sir Joost now. He was knighted for his music in the Netherlands - he is Arjen's right hand man and so talented. They are all having so much fun
Btw. The keyboardplayer is Joost van den Broek and a very close friend to Arjen Lucassen. Joost is for a great part responsable for putting (together with Arjen) the shows together.
So nice to see you guys thoroughly enjoying yourselves with this one. Knew the Skuppetmaster would totally dig "Sir" Joost van den Broek's keys, hence the recommendation. Joost is also "key" in so many things metal, as either a producer, composer, songwriter or arranger. Joined Floor's After Forever in 2004 and made me an ever greater fan of this legendary band. They had met in the early 2000's on the Star One project, another one of Arjen's stellar hobbies. He co-produced this "Ayreon Universe" concert. He's been involved with great names: ReVamp, Floor (solo), Epica, MaYaN, BlackBriar (!), Blind Guardian, Ex Libris, etc.. Anyhew, back to this 2017 concert and here's an idea: why not do the whole setlist, taking it easy with one song a week on a special day? Joost van den Broek is in all songs and then there's Maggy again, Damian, Floor, Marko, Hansi (Kürsch, Blind Guardian), Tommy (Karevik, Kamelot), Irene Jansen (Two Gates song, introducing the band!!!), Anneke (van Giersbergen), Mike (Mills, Toehider), Marcela & Lisette the other two "Ayreon Angels" and many others.. I can provide you with a link that'll give you the whole set, so you can do them in order. How's that? Post it in the follow-up as always, to prevent the unholy YT algorithm from dumping my comment in your spam folder.. (1/2)
(2/2).. okay, so here's the link giving you all videos from the 2017 "Ayreon Universe" concert in the order of play, lyrics subbed. ruclips.net/p/PLJGn3wi7b7b606GfoKAdOgm6rtX9OliRc After this one, you guys could do the same with Ayreon's fabulous 2019 concert "Into The Electric Castle", for which I also have a setlist link. Post that later on in another follow-up (too many posts at once will trigger YT). Cheers from Amsterdam!
Ayreon will be performing live next year! Tickets sold out in 5 mins :D Arjen and the rest of the Ayreon team deserve all the success and love they are getting.
Great, ty guys, just what the doctor ordered since I'm a bit under the weather. Felled a large oak here and tried to lift a big log that I kinda knew would be too heavy. Became sort of a wrestling match that was won by the log with flying colours. Lotta pain now, and the only thing making me sleep at night is the wonderful homemade cannab!s oil I've taken (100% RSO). So it's Dutchie-style sedation/pain killing over here, which makes for very interesting acoustic experiences, haha. So now, with some coffee on the side, I'm gonna enjoy your reaction to the gorgeous vocals of Maggy Luyten, the revelation of that legendary concert in 2017. Glad I've managed to get tickets for Ayreon's 2023 gig. Okay, intergalactic spaaace sedation let's go woohoo!! 🤪🤘
@@eTraxx Yes, for some reason the Dutchie canna oil has the paradoxical effect of making me more active. Hope it's not too much, haha. Good stuff this. Perhaps I should dilute it just a bit..🤘
This a a Star One song inspired by the tv series Blake 7. You should see the second concert The Electric Castle live and other tales, in order of songs to understand the story, it’s the anniversary concert of the concept album Into the electric castle.
Great reaction guys. One of my favorite Arjen Lucassen songs. The song is a Star One composition that was performed as part of the Ayreon Universe Live concert. Arjen often mixes in songs from all his projects in the live shows (ex. Marcela singing Out in the Real World, Stream of Passion song, In the Electric Castle and Other Tales concert, ruclips.net/video/Rtrkpxq3dOA/видео.html). Star one is similar to Ayreon in that it is a project where Arjen writes the music and assembles the musicians. The difference is that Star One songs are inspired by Sci Fi Movies and TV Shows. The female singer, Maggie Luyten is in several songs from this concert . Ride the Comet, Star of Sirrah, Everybody Dies, and the show ender Eye of Ra. Videos for each song and all are outstanding. One of my favorite songs with Damian from this show is And the Druids Turned to Stone. Also note that there are several songs where Marko is singing in this show as well. Cool old Star One performance from 2003 with Damian, Floor, and her sister Irene performing Into the Black Hole (which is actually an Ayreon song, go figure!) ruclips.net/video/oriR8CpI-Io/видео.html. Star one released a new album back in January that was outstanding. Checkout Lost Children of the Universe (inspired by the movie Interstellar, ruclips.net/video/6ADV7NYDfQs/видео.html) and Fate of Man (inspired by the Terminator movies, ruclips.net/video/vn7P3oVMnys/видео.html ).

Tho whole Ayreon Universe show is magnificent. The joy these musucians have on stage, the quality of these performances, it’s a pleasure to watch!

And just like Doctor Who the show relied on vast quantities of styrofoam and tinfoil to create the scenery!
