Kai Hansen was also singing. He was the bands original singer. He's on the red guitar. He rejoined the band for this tour, and is on the new album. The band now has 3 singers and 3 guitar players!
Exactly the same comment I was about to say, Elizabeth please do a research about Helloween and Kai Hansen, also Gamma Ray is a good option for a future listening 😉👍
I was there that night in Madrid, and let me point out one thing: This song was the FIRST song of a show that last for three and a half hours. It was pure joy and madness.
3 horas y media ??????😿 rezando estoy por verlos este próximo año con KISKE aquí en bcn 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 loco con KISKE desde los 14 años y no l vi jamás en vivo !!!
@@davidnimasnimenosfitnessda1918 Yo también los veré en BCN! Hay que aprovechar toda oportunidad de verlos a todos juntos, además de que el maldito Kiske sigue con la misma voz de cuando tenia 18 años, es un animal el tio, y Deris a mejorado un montón, me encanta en vivo! Un abrazo compañero!
Michael Kiske is one of the greatest rock singers ever. He belongs in the conversations with Halford, Tate, Mercury, Dio and Dickinson. I could listen to him sing forever!! Andi is also exceptional! Helloween is one of the most important bands in rock!
You know, when I was a teenager, I used to listen to Helloween a lot, the singer was already Andi Deris, and many people would say they preferred Kiske, because those were the golden years for the band, and because Andi sometimes would have a hard time singing Michael's songs by himself (which I totally understand, cause I do too when I try) and I would always say I loved them both, 'cause the songs from the Deris era are amazing too. When I first heard Kiske was not only coming back to the band, but also Deris was staying AND Kai Hansen, which is the guitarrist and first Helloween singer, that blew my mind. Then I saw an Andi interview, where he says they didn't know each other and they had to meet first to see if it worked. They spent a week or sth like that getting to know each other better and they became very good friends which, as we can see, adds a lot to the chemistry on stage. My teenage self inside of me was filled with joy, cause we can see in rock and metal such huge egos here and there, that even in my wildest dreams I would imagine this working so perfectly. This is a demonstration of how we can stop being so competitive when it comes to art, because cooperation is way better than competition. I really love this band's phase.
Deris and Kiske were meant to singer together forever. Both of them have great voices and are very different from each other. It's a perfect mix. Kiske has that angelical thing on his voice. Deris is more aggressive and has a deeper voice. Andi is my favourite and I think that's why he's still in the band after 27 years. He doesn't pretend to be Kiske. That's a very common mistake singers do when they have to step into someone's shoes.
Markus Grosskopf (The bassplayer) gets way to little love. He is one of the founding members and has stayed with them on Helloweens entire run. And he keeps getting better and better.
This seriously rivals the original studio album recording from KOTSK Part 1. I’ve literally got goosebumps with Deris and Kiske harmonizing the lead vocals. Chills down the spine man. 🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻
Growing up. Many people would ask me how I could listen to "This Nosie". Metal is just as much as an art as any other genre of music that has ever been made. I really appreciate when a outsider (not a metalhead) really stops and listens with the ears, and open mind to be able to capture I love about this music style. Thank you!
Helloween is an event not just a concert. The drummer is outstanding to be able to keep driving the band for so long Most bands would love to draw a crowd like they do. Metal fans are the best and the most loyal. I might add the friendliest bunch of people you will ever meet.
When you mentioned not hearing the vocal backups, they are definitely there, it's just hard to tell without knowing what you're listening for - Kai Hansen is an absolute legend and has an extremely distinctive voice, you'll be able to pick him out of a crowd any day as soon as you know it's there and what he sounds like. Give anything by Gamma Ray a try, or for my personal suggestion, try "Temple of Hate" live by Edu Falaschi with him from the Temple of Shadows DVD that came out last year. I promise there is a 0% chance you'll be disappointed.
My dream comes true! Kai, Michael, Andi Vereint! Ich bin jetzt 52 Jahre und warte die Hälfte davon! Ich liebe Walls of Jericho und the Keepers! Später habe ich erst king for a thousand years entdeckt! Das neue Album ist cool! Bitte macht alle miteinander weiter! Die beste Band der Welt!!!
Deris and Kiske were meant to singer together forever. Both of them have great voices and are very different from each other. It's a perfect mix. Kiske has that angelical thing on his voice. Deris is more aggressive and has a deeper tune. Andi is my favourite and I think that's why he's still in the band after 27 years. He doesn't pretend to be Kiske. That's a very common mistake singers do when they have to step into someone's shoes.
For more Helloween: A young Kiske would be interesting. They filmed a show in London in the early 90s (92, I think), which might be on RUclips. *A Tale That Wasn't Right* is my recommendation for that one. It's a ballad and shows Kiske in terrific form. Also, hearing Kai Hansen, their original vocalist, sing might be interesting. He improved a lot from his early days in Helloween to his later singing in Gamma Ray. For A Helloween Kai song: *Ride the Sky* (never listen to that one in the car. You WILL break the speed limit!). For a Gamma Ray song with him I'd recommend *Rebellion in Dreamland* . There's a great live version of that one on youtube. Other Helloween songs with Kiske: *Save Us* - a less well known song and nobody ever recommends it, but I think it's awesome. His highs on that one are crazy! *Twilight of the Gods* *Eagle Fly Free* Other Helloween songs with Deris: *Perfect Gentleman* - a super fun and slightly silly number :) *The Dark Ride* - Probably best to pick the album version. There's live footage of that one but from what I remember the band wasn't on top form there. Again, a song, and album, that many people tend to overlook. Personally, I think it's one of their best. Slightly darker than what we're used to from the band
I'm not a singer, but I've heard of 'When the Sinner' (from Chameleon) is one of most difficult song to sing, in terms of technic (I don't know if is true, sorry)
Mankind from the same show would be great as well, as he had a single voice crack which is super rare on Kiske, also Your Turn as well as he also gets a couple notes wrong on the guitar and his reaction to both mistakes are priceless
I saw a live Helloween vid from 1987 and Kiske was like incredible in it. I don't think many people have heard that concert. The audio quality is bad though. But Kiske sings Guardians on it and it sounds really cool.
the fun part is figuring out who's singing the top line and who's singing the harmony, because they're trading places all over the place. what's cray, is deries has been singing all the top lines on this live for almost 20 yrs (it's originally a kiske song), and he's completely relearned and rearranged the parts he's been singing all this time for this new line up.
Can we talk about Kai Hansen for a second? This guy is an amazing singer and also destroys on the guitar. I wish you reacted to him in Gamma Ray singing Rebellion in Dreamland.
This band was always good, in every phase, but when they decided to put both singers togheter they went to a new level. The amount of work in the vocals is impressive. I went to see them, they were openning for Scorpions, and my wife went because of Scorpions. The openning act made her a Helloween fan right away. Is a must go concert.
Who wants to see Elizabeth react to studio version of Helloween's We Got the Right and analyze it??? I think that song is one of the most impressive and most difficult vocals recorded of all time by any singer
I'm So impressed by their endurance, that is such a long time to be belting high notes. 'Hold my beer' Helloween - I Want out @ 3:55 ruclips.net/video/FjV8SHjHvHk/видео.html
Please listen to: - Queen of the Reich by Queensryche - Cry of the Blackbirds by Amon Amarth (if you like vikings, you'll LOVE these guys) - The Sign of the Southern Cross by Black Sabbath - Abigail by King Diamond - Up All Night by Slaughter - The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden - Still Loving You by The Scorpions - Freak on a Leash by Korn - I, Caligula by Ex Deo
Only having 10k likes to this video shows exactly how sad it is that so few people still know about this amazing band. Thank you for reigniting my love for them.
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this song, and I loved the performance. The Kiske/Deris duo on lead vocals w/ Kai Hansen on backup vocals was amazing, and Kai's guitar solo was fantastic. The drum mix was incredible, and it was great to see all the musicians having fun on the same stage. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Helloween was 20 years to early out with their music,if they had come out in the 2000 they had blew the roof of all houses. The same with Dizzy miss lizzy who come out in 1986 but the music world wasent ready,so they got really big in 2001 instead
I love how this performance shows how respectful Andi is toward the older material and how much he has listened to Kiske's versions, picking up all his mannerisms and stylistic choices like the slight pitch bends and matching his vibrato.
Thanks for also pointing this out! Now there are (at least) three people including myself who have mentioned this, but considering the sheer amount of comments, I'm afraid this information might still get easily overlooked. Hopefully, more people will mention this, so she will eventually take notice of it. Edit: Pleased to see she did!
I first saw Helloween on the Hell On Wheels tour in 1987, with Grim Reaper and Armored Saint. It seemed like most of the crowd were not into Helloween, but I was enthralled. I never heard anything like them at that time. The musicianship was amazing. Michael sounds exactly the same now as he did 35 years ago. There's a man who knows how to use his voice.
This is oldschool, and one of the best bands EVER. I saw them live in my hometown with this setup, and it was so cool. I like both Kiske and Deris, i think they're both amazing. I basicly grew up on their music. Amazing!
If you enjoy Michael Kiske's voice, I wonder if you'd like the project he's in with Amanda Somerville, Kiske/Somerville, as well. My absolute favourite track is 'Silence', but most of the songs on the two albums they've released so far are pretty solid and they just sound splendid together, I really love the harmonies they create 🥰
Kai Hansen, the guitarist wearing the long black coat, was once the lead singer in the band (early days), so you might be hearing him backing up Michael and Andi in many cases here. This band is in top form here…many decades after they came onto the scene! Thank you for this!!
Oh yes, love this song. Saw Helloween in London on the keeper pt2 tour ( 1987/88ish). It was possibly the best gig I've ever seen. Young Michael was unbelievable.
He still is. It's amazing how he's kept his form through the years while other 80's vocalists can barely answer a phone call. Pumpkins United tour was extremely special.
@@peterlane6895 If we're going fully honest, he does not sound the "same" as 1987-88, anyone claiming this is either writting/saying without being objective or is just not listening, while he is still a top performer, he singing has changed thru the years and i don't mean this as a bad thing, just as a fact, he sounds different, more mature (obviously) and adds a lot more vibrato. The whole tour had the songs for all 3 singers convenience tuned 1/2 step down, have no doubt he can sing the songs in the original tuning, after all, he did that with Unisonic, March Of Time is particularly a breath taking song and he did amazing with that one, but those were shorter shows. In a way we should be thankful he "retired" when he parted ways with the pumpkins in 93 because that helped him a lot to keep his voice almost intact for us to be blown with his voice again in the "modern" age. And to be clear this is not bashing him, i'm a Kiske fanboy myself, just keeping it real.
Watching again. These two (along with James LaBrie) are my favorite singers ever. I am really glad you got to appreciate Andi in this song a little more. The guy is a vocal prodigy.
I was there and it was even more incredible than what can be seen and heard in the video. Seeing musicians play together for the first time playing songs from when I was a teenager ... amazing! Many thanks for your reaction & analysis Elisabeth. Always a pleasure to see and learn with your videos
I love your excitement in seeing these guys play & sing together. It really is a special thing to see them all come together, so well, in this new combination of the band & just to be enjoying it so much! A total JOY :)
Well i am addict for Elizabeths videos now. Her facial expressions when she hears something exciting is so cute and Attractive. More King Diamond, more Helloween and please look into Devil Doll from Slovenia. Devil Doll Sacreligium is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
Seeing and hearing this entire breakdown, with all of the appreciation and recognition for the vocal and instrumental talent, makes me want to go back in time to the early 1980s into the 1990s, and tell all the people (ie: my Dad, teachers, clergy, PMRC, etc) who mocked me for being a fan of metal/thrash metal/etc, and dismissed the musicians as talentless hacks, and tell them all to: "SUCK IT!!" Watching this RUclips channel, and the many metal song reactionms, is kinda like vindication for me. 😂 Thank You. ❤
I can't listen to Helloween anymore.... It was one of my favorites but every time I listen to them now I start singing along and utterly destroying my vocalchords for the next 3 days. Actually managing to go up and hitting the notes is the worst part of it lol.. They are so good, loving it. Love watching your videos. Watching you react to music that makes you happy is just infectiously contagious and I can't help smiling while listening.
Helloween is arguably the best metal band EVER in my opinion. They aren't only stunningly talented in playing but in writing and actually revitalized and kept both the speed of metal and German metal flying. The late 80's were a really difficult era for metal and without Helloween we wouldn't have had bands like Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica and Nightwish keeping metal a bit more energetic and fast in the 90's and 2000's. The metal community owes so much to Helloween Edit: NOT EVEN MENTIONING that Helloween LITERALLY started a metal subgenre with power metal and from that spawned an entire new generation
I'm old enough to have listened to Keeper of the Seven Keys when it came out. I was never a big fan of theirs, I've only got Keeper 1 &2. But when I watched that show, I realized how good they really were.
6:40 My exact thoughts when I heard this song for the first time like 20 years ago. Such great songwriting, I'll never get tired of it. Truly magic and they did a great performance after all these years. My favorite part is that amazing twin guitar solo in the end.
We REALLY need your reaction to Kai's Hansen Medley of the same show! His voice is such an important part on Helloween's history. Cheers from Argentina!
This is how you do it! Thanks a lot for this reaction Elizabeth! These are the ones that make me keep on waiting for the next. Please continue to rock on!
I normally don’t watch vocal coaches on RUclips because they tend to focus only On the vocals and not the performance. HOWEVER, you are different which is a great surprise I’m glad you enjoy everything about the performance I love Helloween is my second favorite band in the world. Loved this reaction I’m subscribing ! :)
It's amazing how much MORE I love ♥Helloween from watching the enthusiasm & joy it gives to the Vocal Coach / Opera Singer! :Þ So glad to grow up in the '90s & being introduced to such bands back then!!
I saw Helloween on this tour, it was truly a great gig! There are actually three voices in the band, as solo-guitarist Kai Hansen was the bands original singer. When I saw them he did a couple of songs from their first EP and full length album, plus backup vocals throughout. Michael Kiske was recruited for their second album "Keeper of the seven keys part 1", which this song is on. All three vocalists are featured on the self-titled album Helloween released this summer, with some pretty awesome vocal harmonies prominently featuring all three voices. I´d also suggest you check out Kai Hansen's second band Gamma Ray with original vocalist Ralph Scheepers, Kai Hansen later took over the vocal duties in that band as Ralph Scheepers was recruited by Primal Fear. That guy also has an amazing voice, reminiscent of Rob Halford's. Kai Hansen is more of an acquired taste vocally speaking.
they were in line for some, but they were standing behind Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons who consumed all of the ego available, so there was sadly none left for Andi and Michael.
Andi wanted Kiske in the band since 2006. He said he wanted to collab with him on Keeper of the seven keys: legacy, but Weikath wasn't so sure and Kiske was angry with him at that time. Andi is a great guy and so is Kiske.
Helloween is one of the finest heavy metal bands in the world. Especially those "Keeper"-albums were absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your reaction.
Lo más alucinante de todo este gran viaje que es Helloween es la maravillosa relación que el cantante original KISKE y Andy Tienen desde el minuto uno. Cuantos cientos de grupos se han ido a tomar por el culo por orgullos y egos de cantantes y demás situaciones, y la banda más grande del Power Metal mundial fijaros como se han reinventado para bien 🎁 Un regalo para todos !!!!👊🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Fan-tas-tic. There it is. Fantastic reaction to a fantastic song, which still keeps me focused, even if I´ve been enjoying this masterpiece from the very beginning. Andi and Michael together with three guitars makes this even better than original version. At the moment Helloween may be the best thing, especially live, what comes to heavy music. Keep 'em comin' , there´s plenty to choose. How Many Tears next, maybe ?
Elizabeth's reaction to the scream, wanting to join in, echoes the perfect vibe of the song. Impossible not to listen to it and not wanting to scream our brains out.
One great song to react will be Crack the skye by Mastodon. Three vocalists, perfect melodies, odd timings, its got everything. Big plus the backstory behind the song.
Another epic music piece for the month of spookyness and creepyness: Dark Moor - Devil in the Tower Neoclassic/symphonic metal straight from Spain and an amazing one minute middle section of this very song which is very much Elizabeth's guilty pleasure of all time!! Dark Moor is one of those European Neoclassic/symphonic metal bands who are criminally underrated and almost forgotten. Their high time were the late 90s and 2000s years.
Excelente eleccion! Gran cancion y una banda poco valorada, seria interesante ver a Elizabeth descubriendo a Elisa C. Martin ya que hablamos de DM tambien.
Never thought about Dark Moor as something creepy or spooky, otherwise they sound triumphal. Great group and i would like to see them on this channel anyway
The solo parts you thought sounded like they were taken straight out of a Beethoven concerto are actually excerpts from the Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms, though sped up and obviously alienated. (Helloween also mentioned this themselves in an interview back in 1987.) The part starting at 27:37 sounds somewhat similar to the beginning of Hungarian Dance no. 5.
You just crack me up with your facial expressions during the music review and your love for the music, with addition to your stunning charisma. Love you channel. 😉🇨🇦
It would be great to see you explore some performers you have never reacted to. For the following I suggest album versions as I am unaware of any high quality live performances: Gojira - One of the greatest metal bands. I recommend "Flying Whales" since it is one of their best. You need to do "Art of Dying" at some point. I think it is their best song just not a good choice for someone's first time hearing the band. Death - A pioneering force in Death/Progressive/Melodic metal. Their early stuff is more intense and thrash and becomes more melodic as the albums progress. For that reason I recommend songs off the final album "The Sound of Perseverance." My personal favorites on that album are "Story to Tell" and "Spirit Crusher." You should also react to "Voice of the soul" as a sort of double reaction with one of the prior ones. It is a short instrumental song but amazing. Just not long enough to warrant a solo reaction.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I'm a speech and debate coach, and I have used sample clips of you speaking to illustrate a superb example of charisma, expression and excitement. You are literally a role model for my students. Cheers!
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the constant pausing, moving back 8 secs, playing 10 secs,. pausing, moving back 8 secs etc. It's taking forever, but that's just me.
You have finally reacted to one of my all time favorite groups. I will say if you ever get the chance to see them live the audience adds so much to the experience. Everyone sings and adds to the song. It's truly amazing. Great insight as always.
Actually, if you listen carefully (watch the video ;o) ) you can hear Kai Hansen singing the part "oh, it's Halloween". So it is actually 3 voices there and they are all in sync - simply amazing. I saw this concert in the best concert hall in Europe for live performance and Helloween really outdid it - better than the studio version.
Watching how you react to the entire video is so cool. I grew up with these types of bands so it's great seeing someone who didn't have the experiences react to these guys. You make me laugh and smile seeing your true enjoyment of music.
You need to listen to Amorphis: The Bee (an amazing composition), Among Stars (together with Anneke van Giersbergen, just wonderful!), Death of A King,... Just to name a few...
I just found this video and I love it. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the band this time around at their hotel. And they are some of the nicest people on the planet. The only person I didnt meet wqs Kiske and the band said he is incredibly private.
Another great Video. No doubt that "How many tears" , "March of time" or the new album song "Skyfall" (13mins version) are a must listen tracks. Ps, and "we got the right", if high notes had metal song, it would be We Got The Right! About Kiske, with Amanda Summerville or "Exceptional " from Unisonic are really great. They frequently use this battle with th evil cause they are Christians in a way, one of the reasons that Kiske leave the heavy metal for years was cause he just get tired of the inhumanity and darkness "wave" that was very strong in the 90's. You can listen from him in some interviews. In fact I believe that he's a really great guy for one of your next "tea's" , would be a awesome interview. Cheerzz
We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com
I suggest 5 songs from ManOwaR: Mountains, Dark Avenger, Gates of Valhalla, Hatred, Blood of My Enemies. Choose one of them
@@emodrod1048 From these songs I would prefer Gates of Valhalla (Sao Paulo version) or Mountains.
@@emodrod1048 I suggest Gates of Valhalla - pretty One
Great reaction, would suggest reacting to Helloweens the guest appearance with Shaman/Andre Matos in their Ritualive show doing Eagles Fly Free.

Plus he breaks EVERYTHING that he touches, lol.
How many riffs & solos you want in one song?
Helloween : YES
Even more like: All
😁
Listen, I can give you either all of the solos or all of the choirs.
Helloween: yes.
This song is a fucking masterpiece, specially this live version
This seriously rivals the original studio album recording from KOTSK Part 1. I’ve literally got goosebumps with Deris and Kiske harmonizing the lead vocals. Chills down the spine man.
🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻
I think we're all looking forward to the day we see Elizabeth sing METAL with a live band. 🤘

I really appreciate when a outsider (not a metalhead) really stops and listens with the ears, and open mind to be able to capture I love about this music style. Thank you!
Trap is noise
Metal is bliss
I still cannot accept "the noise" from many heavy metal bands...but Helloween is melodious speed metal to me. Love the band to death!!!
Helloween is an event not just a concert.
The drummer is outstanding to be able to keep driving the band for so long
Most bands would love to draw a crowd like they do.
Metal fans are the best and the most loyal. I might add the friendliest bunch of people you will ever meet.

I promise there is a 0% chance you'll be disappointed.
You are absolutely right!
Or try finding the song "Starlight" by Helloween. It's off their debut EP, and features Kai singing.
Kai's voice is amazing. Those screams like in dethrone tyranny are super awesome.
For sure!!
Yes, and for that reason we wanna hear reaction and analysis on Gamma RAY too! Absolutely :)
Michael Kiske is amazing, is the best power metal vocalist, and one of the best vocalists in the world.
Hope that the next analysed song will be "Helloween - How Many Tears" (Live in Wacken, 2018, United Alive)!
Then you get Andi/Michael/Kai doing an equal amount of solo singing so you can hear the differences in their singing, yet all 3 are 100% Helloween.
This! One of Helloweens best songs on that.
Or kai hansen medley at wacken too
Please, please, "How many Tears" shall be the next song to analyse!
My dream comes true! Kai, Michael, Andi Vereint! Ich bin jetzt 52 Jahre und warte die Hälfte davon! Ich liebe Walls of Jericho und the Keepers! Später habe ich erst king for a thousand years entdeckt! Das neue Album ist cool! Bitte macht alle miteinander weiter! Die beste Band der Welt!!!
Deris and Kiske were meant to singer together forever. Both of them have great voices and are very different from each other. It's a perfect mix.
Kiske has that angelical thing on his voice. Deris is more aggressive and has a deeper tune.
Andi is my favourite and I think that's why he's still in the band after 27 years. He doesn't pretend to be Kiske. That's a very common mistake singers do when they have to step into someone's shoes.
For more Helloween:
A young Kiske would be interesting. They filmed a show in London in the early 90s (92, I think), which might be on RUclips. *A Tale That Wasn't Right* is my recommendation for that one. It's a ballad and shows Kiske in terrific form.
Also, hearing Kai Hansen, their original vocalist, sing might be interesting. He improved a lot from his early days in Helloween to his later singing in Gamma Ray. For A Helloween Kai song: *Ride the Sky* (never listen to that one in the car. You WILL break the speed limit!).
For a Gamma Ray song with him I'd recommend *Rebellion in Dreamland* . There's a great live version of that one on youtube.
Other Helloween songs with Kiske:
*Save Us* - a less well known song and nobody ever recommends it, but I think it's awesome. His highs on that one are crazy!
*Twilight of the Gods*
*Eagle Fly Free*
Other Helloween songs with Deris:
*Perfect Gentleman* - a super fun and slightly silly number :)
*The Dark Ride* - Probably best to pick the album version. There's live footage of that one but from what I remember the band wasn't on top form there. Again, a song, and album, that many people tend to overlook. Personally, I think it's one of their best. Slightly darker than what we're used to from the band
Last before the Storm (wacken) and Gardens of the sinners are great live performances as well. Best thing when Kai left Helloween, was Gamma Ray!
King of a thousand years, Perfect gentlemen....
I'm not a singer, but I've heard of 'When the Sinner' (from Chameleon) is one of most difficult song to sing, in terms of technic (I don't know if is true, sorry)
Dark Ride ftw
Absolutely agree with this! Favorite song.
Kiske is THE VOICE of Metal. His voice adds brightness to any song.
Next Helloween's song that showcases Kiske's amazing voice should be A Tale That Wasnt Right in 1992
Next year this time ;)
Her wearing not only panda ears, but also the panda tail (that wasn't right) today might be foreshadowing....
oh yes, this Song and from from the past
Mankind from the same show would be great as well, as he had a single voice crack which is super rare on Kiske, also Your Turn as well as he also gets a couple notes wrong on the guitar and his reaction to both mistakes are priceless
I saw a live Helloween vid from 1987 and Kiske was like incredible in it. I don't think many people have heard that concert. The audio quality is bad though. But Kiske sings Guardians on it and it sounds really cool.
the fun part is figuring out who's singing the top line and who's singing the harmony, because they're trading places all over the place. what's cray, is deries has been singing all the top lines on this live for almost 20 yrs (it's originally a kiske song), and he's completely relearned and rearranged the parts he's been singing all this time for this new line up.
That’s because we all know kiske sounds better lol
Can we talk about Kai Hansen for a second? This guy is an amazing singer and also destroys on the guitar. I wish you reacted to him in Gamma Ray singing Rebellion in Dreamland.
Kai Hansen is the Father of German Power Metal...!
@@antoniocarlin5026 Gotta say I love this song and my favorite Gamma Ray album is Land of the Free.
Then also she should give Ralph Scheepers a shot, another amazing singer for Gamma Ray
👍The highest frequency screams could also quite possibly be Hansen's high notes.
@@marcushomme6424 that's precisely what I thought. XD
This band was always good, in every phase, but when they decided to put both singers togheter they went to a new level. The amount of work in the vocals is impressive. I went to see them, they were openning for Scorpions, and my wife went because of Scorpions. The openning act made her a Helloween fan right away. Is a must go concert.
Kiske is "The Voice"!
Just remember that this guys made this song and others very complete and complex when they were like 19Yo. Amazing!
Kiske is Power House ! best Metal vocalist today ..
Everything in this song is so amazing but I am completely blown away by the drums.
Michi and Andi together bring this great songs to another level. How many Tears is definitly one you should listen to.
Who wants to see Elizabeth react to studio version of Helloween's We Got the Right and analyze it??? I think that song is one of the most impressive and most difficult vocals recorded of all time by any singer
I agreee… we got the right is phenomenal!!!
I've watched some interviews with Kiske, and he absolutely loves Deris. He thinks of him like a soulmate or something. The bond is real.
The one with chris Jerico is awesome
I speak with Deris after the first show in Monterrey , México (Deris speak spanish) in that time they are not friends yet .... :p the band are divited
@@antoniocarlin5026 The tour was an experiment if they could get along, and they did. It's explained on the Jericho interview
@@alancamarena3061 Yes I got the triple dvd on the bonus speak about It
I'm So impressed by their endurance, that is such a long time to be belting high notes.

@@Calirohe She did Sleepless Nights 3 months ago.
Only having 10k likes to this video shows exactly how sad it is that so few people still know about this amazing band. Thank you for reigniting my love for them.
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to this song, and I loved the performance. The Kiske/Deris duo on lead vocals w/ Kai Hansen on backup vocals was amazing, and Kai's guitar solo was fantastic. The drum mix was incredible, and it was great to see all the musicians having fun on the same stage. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Kirby, I can't recomend the live album this is taken off highly enough. A future collector piece!
Glad you enjoyed it too! Their performace is one of a kind, really. Thank you Kirby, as always! ❤
Kiske with his high clean voice, and Deris with all the unique sound techniques
Absolute masterpiece!! I've been listening to this song since the 80s and it never gets old. So many change ups and unbelievable vocals 🎃🎃🎃
Helloween was 20 years to early out with their music,if they had come out in the 2000 they had blew the roof of all houses. The same with Dizzy miss lizzy who come out in 1986 but the music world wasent ready,so they got really big in 2001 instead
@@jensenmekk they were before their time. My parents thought I was insane listening to them when I was 8 years old!!
I love how this performance shows how respectful Andi is toward the older material and how much he has listened to Kiske's versions, picking up all his mannerisms and stylistic choices like the slight pitch bends and matching his vibrato.
Their voices combined are so good! Really took the band to another level! Can't wait to see them live again!
The melody Elizabeth pointed out as coming out of a Beethoven concerto is actually from Brahms Hungarian Dance #5.
Thanks for also pointing this out! Now there are (at least) three people including myself who have mentioned this, but considering the sheer amount of comments, I'm afraid this information might still get easily overlooked. Hopefully, more people will mention this, so she will eventually take notice of it. Edit: Pleased to see she did!
@@MissLoonasSpeech Not only her. I shall be picking it up, actually thought I had it.
Thanks!
I am extremly happy to see your second reaction on Helloween. I cannot wait until tomorrow.
I first saw Helloween on the Hell On Wheels tour in 1987, with Grim Reaper and Armored Saint. It seemed like most of the crowd were not into Helloween, but I was enthralled. I never heard anything like them at that time. The musicianship was amazing. Michael sounds exactly the same now as he did 35 years ago. There's a man who knows how to use his voice.
Love your enthusiasm for different kinds of music. It's so infectious and just adorable. Keep up the excellent work!
This is oldschool, and one of the best bands EVER. I saw them live in my hometown with this setup, and it was so cool. I like both Kiske and Deris, i think they're both amazing. I basicly grew up on their music. Amazing!
If you enjoy Michael Kiske's voice, I wonder if you'd like the project he's in with Amanda Somerville, Kiske/Somerville, as well. My absolute favourite track is 'Silence', but most of the songs on the two albums they've released so far are pretty solid and they just sound splendid together, I really love the harmonies they create 🥰
Up
She really should check out Amanda Somerville for sure
@@switchboardrevelry4275 she's definitely one the best !
YES!! An analysis of Silence, by Kiske/Somerville!!
Totally agree, Amanda/ Kiske duet s both albums are incredible, needs to check out Amanda's Trillium solo albums
Kai Hansen, the guitarist wearing the long black coat, was once the lead singer in the band (early days), so you might be hearing him backing up Michael and Andi in many cases here. This band is in top form here…many decades after they came onto the scene! Thank you for this!!
Oh yes, love this song. Saw Helloween in London on the keeper pt2 tour ( 1987/88ish). It was possibly the best gig I've ever seen. Young Michael was unbelievable.
He still is. It's amazing how he's kept his form through the years while other 80's vocalists can barely answer a phone call. Pumpkins United tour was extremely special.
@@peterlane6895 If we're going fully honest, he does not sound the "same" as 1987-88, anyone claiming this is either writting/saying without being objective or is just not listening, while he is still a top performer, he singing has changed thru the years and i don't mean this as a bad thing, just as a fact, he sounds different, more mature (obviously) and adds a lot more vibrato. The whole tour had the songs for all 3 singers convenience tuned 1/2 step down, have no doubt he can sing the songs in the original tuning, after all, he did that with Unisonic, March Of Time is particularly a breath taking song and he did amazing with that one, but those were shorter shows. In a way we should be thankful he "retired" when he parted ways with the pumpkins in 93 because that helped him a lot to keep his voice almost intact for us to be blown with his voice again in the "modern" age. And to be clear this is not bashing him, i'm a Kiske fanboy myself, just keeping it real.
Headbangers Ball tour with Anthrax & Exodus? I saw them on that in 89.
Watching again. These two (along with James LaBrie) are my favorite singers ever. I am really glad you got to appreciate Andi in this song a little more. The guy is a vocal prodigy.
I was there and it was even more incredible than what can be seen and heard in the video. Seeing musicians play together for the first time playing songs from when I was a teenager ... amazing! Many thanks for your reaction & analysis Elisabeth. Always a pleasure to see and learn with your videos
Helloween is an underappreciated band, I loved seeing you react to them!
The king for a 1000 years (helloween) is a must !
No había visto este comentario 🖤🤘🏾
The live on 3 continents version is a masterpiece
One of the few bands that give you a 15 min song and at the end you want more 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
if you know Kai Hansen's voice you can clearly hear it when he's doing backing vocals
I was thinking exactly that. He has a very unique voice and once you know it it's very easy to pick out.
I love your excitement in seeing these guys play & sing together. It really is a special thing to see them all come together, so well, in this new combination of the band & just to be enjoying it so much! A total JOY :)
Well i am addict for Elizabeths videos now. Her facial expressions when she hears something exciting is so cute and Attractive. More King Diamond, more Helloween and please look into Devil Doll from Slovenia. Devil Doll Sacreligium is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
Simp. She is already married dude.
How versatile Deris is❤️ but Kai Hansen deserves a reaction that guy sang crazy at tha show❤️
Fantastically done!
I listened to that song for 30 years now and still gives me tears in my eyes... thanks
YES!!!!!! Get ready for 13 minutes of German power metal!
The Video is sadly way to long because there are so many pauses (to much in my opinion).
Seeing and hearing this entire breakdown, with all of the appreciation and recognition for the vocal and instrumental talent, makes me want to go back in time to the early 1980s into the 1990s, and tell all the people (ie: my Dad, teachers, clergy, PMRC, etc) who mocked me for being a fan of metal/thrash metal/etc, and dismissed the musicians as talentless hacks, and tell them all to: "SUCK IT!!"
Watching this RUclips channel, and the many metal song reactionms, is kinda like vindication for me. 😂 Thank You. ❤
I can't listen to Helloween anymore.... It was one of my favorites but every time I listen to them now I start singing along and utterly destroying my vocalchords for the next 3 days. Actually managing to go up and hitting the notes is the worst part of it lol.. They are so good, loving it. Love watching your videos. Watching you react to music that makes you happy is just infectiously contagious and I can't help smiling while listening.
Hahaha loved your comment
This tour was the **BEST** thing that could have happened to Helloween! They are so freaking awesome on stage! Every single freaking one of them!
I’ve gotten to see Helloween twice in concert. Once with Kiski in 1989, and once with Andy Deris 20 years later. Both are great live
You should compare Michael Kiske now and back in 1980's. This is just awesome how his voice didn't change at all.
The song is fabulous, the band is fabulous, the voice of Michael Kiske is fabulous!
Michael Kiske is really incredible! ❤
Моя любимая группа. С неё начинал слушать рок в 1989 году и продолжаю до сих пор. Браво мужики👏👏👏 так держать!!!👍👍👍
"Ears? Thats cute!"
"Tail?!"
**traumatic furry memory strikes**
I'd like to see a tail also...wink wink.
"Victim of Fate" is one of their oldest and best somgs. The roots of speed metal...
Helloween is arguably the best metal band EVER in my opinion. They aren't only stunningly talented in playing but in writing and actually revitalized and kept both the speed of metal and German metal flying. The late 80's were a really difficult era for metal and without Helloween we wouldn't have had bands like Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica and Nightwish keeping metal a bit more energetic and fast in the 90's and 2000's. The metal community owes so much to Helloween
Edit: NOT EVEN MENTIONING that Helloween LITERALLY started a metal subgenre with power metal and from that spawned an entire new generation
What a live performance by the band. Kiske's voice is still amazing.
And I love the enthusiasm of the reviewer. Brilliant to watch.
First time I've heard of this song and heard of this band, love it. Also lead singer reminds a lot of Rob Halford , great voice!
It couldn't be more perfect! Both the live performance and the reaction. Pumpkins united, we are!
I'm old enough to have listened to Keeper of the Seven Keys when it came out. I was never a big fan of theirs, I've only got Keeper 1 &2. But when I watched that show, I realized how good they really were.
So delightful to see you enjoy those amazing performances, thank you !!
6:40 My exact thoughts when I heard this song for the first time like 20 years ago. Such great songwriting, I'll never get tired of it. Truly magic and they did a great performance after all these years. My favorite part is that amazing twin guitar solo in the end.
This commentary is so insightful! It was awesome and what a performance!!! 🔥
Elizabeth! If you want to hear some HIGH Kiske notes I *highly* (pun intended) recommend Eagle Fly Free by Helloween. So good!
Going to see Helloween here in New York City in May. Cannot wait.🎃
We REALLY need your reaction to Kai's Hansen Medley of the same show! His voice is such an important part on Helloween's history. Cheers from Argentina!
This is how you do it! Thanks a lot for this reaction Elizabeth! These are the ones that make me keep on waiting for the next. Please continue to rock on!
I normally don’t watch vocal coaches on RUclips because they tend to focus only
On the vocals and not the performance. HOWEVER, you are different which is a great surprise I’m glad you enjoy everything about the performance I love Helloween is my second favorite band in the world. Loved this reaction I’m subscribing ! :)
It's amazing how much MORE I love ♥Helloween from watching the enthusiasm & joy it gives to the Vocal Coach / Opera Singer! :Þ So glad to grow up in the '90s & being introduced to such bands back then!!
I saw Helloween on this tour, it was truly a great gig! There are actually three voices in the band, as solo-guitarist Kai Hansen was the bands original singer. When I saw them he did a couple of songs from their first EP and full length album, plus backup vocals throughout. Michael Kiske was recruited for their second album "Keeper of the seven keys part 1", which this song is on. All three vocalists are featured on the self-titled album Helloween released this summer, with some pretty awesome vocal harmonies prominently featuring all three voices.
I´d also suggest you check out Kai Hansen's second band Gamma Ray with original vocalist Ralph Scheepers, Kai Hansen later took over the vocal duties in that band as Ralph Scheepers was recruited by Primal Fear. That guy also has an amazing voice, reminiscent of Rob Halford's. Kai Hansen is more of an acquired taste vocally speaking.
Ralph's other bands; Tyran Pace & Primal Fear are no slouches either.
Elizabeth the way you watch a video reminds me of a child at Christmas amazement and wonder you have a fan for life
I'm equally amazed by the lack of LSD (Lead Singer's Disease) that allows two lead singers to perform onstage together.
When I first heard Chris Holmes talk about that I died laughing.
they were in line for some, but they were standing behind Paul Stanley and
Gene Simmons who consumed all of the ego available, so there was sadly none left for Andi and Michael.
Andi wanted Kiske in the band since 2006. He said he wanted to collab with him on Keeper of the seven keys: legacy, but Weikath wasn't so sure and Kiske was angry with him at that time.
Andi is a great guy and so is Kiske.
Helloween is one of the finest heavy metal bands in the world. Especially those "Keeper"-albums were absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your reaction.
Lo más alucinante de todo este gran viaje que es Helloween es la maravillosa relación que el cantante original KISKE y Andy Tienen desde el minuto uno.
Cuantos cientos de grupos se han ido a tomar por el culo por orgullos y egos de cantantes y demás situaciones, y la banda más grande del Power Metal mundial fijaros como se han reinventado para bien 🎁
Un regalo para todos !!!!👊🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ahhhh! It's Helloween! (band)! LoL.. I love this song. Thank You Elizabeth for reacting to it!
Fan-tas-tic. There it is. Fantastic reaction to a fantastic song, which still keeps me focused, even if I´ve been enjoying this masterpiece from the very beginning. Andi and Michael together with three guitars makes this even better than original version. At the moment Helloween may be the best thing, especially live, what comes to heavy music. Keep 'em comin' , there´s plenty to choose. How Many Tears next, maybe ?
Absolutely and undoubtedly : How many Tears should be next
I saw Helloween live in Warszawa on 2018. I was blow away.
Elizabeth's reaction to the scream, wanting to join in, echoes the perfect vibe of the song. Impossible not to listen to it and not wanting to scream our brains out.
One great song to react will be Crack the skye by Mastodon. Three vocalists, perfect melodies, odd timings, its got everything. Big plus the backstory behind the song.
That was such a great song, extended version. I have always loved Halloween for coming up on 40 years. Wow! Still got it!
Another epic music piece for the month of spookyness and creepyness:
Dark Moor - Devil in the Tower
Neoclassic/symphonic metal straight from Spain and an amazing one minute middle section of this very song which is very much
Elizabeth's guilty pleasure of all time!!
Dark Moor is one of those European Neoclassic/symphonic metal bands who are criminally underrated and almost forgotten.
Their high time were the late 90s and 2000s years.
Excellent song nice
Excelente eleccion! Gran cancion y una banda poco valorada, seria interesante ver a Elizabeth descubriendo a Elisa C. Martin ya que hablamos de DM tambien.
I think I sugested them once a long time ago, great choice! 🤘🤘
ya que hablan de Metal de España sería un sueño una reaccion de Opera Magna - Edgar Alain Poe del directo!
Never thought about Dark Moor as something creepy or spooky, otherwise they sound triumphal. Great group and i would like to see them on this channel anyway
A Helloween show is the most fun place to be! And their new self-titled album is AMAZING!
An absolute gem from start to finish
The solo parts you thought sounded like they were taken straight out of a Beethoven concerto are actually excerpts from the Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms, though sped up and obviously alienated. (Helloween also mentioned this themselves in an interview back in 1987.) The part starting at 27:37 sounds somewhat similar to the beginning of Hungarian Dance no. 5.
You just crack me up with your facial expressions during the music review and your love for the music, with addition to your stunning charisma. Love you channel. 😉🇨🇦
It would be great to see you explore some performers you have never reacted to.
For the following I suggest album versions as I am unaware of any high quality live performances:
Gojira - One of the greatest metal bands. I recommend "Flying Whales" since it is one of their best. You need to do "Art of Dying" at some point. I think it is their best song just not a good choice for someone's first time hearing the band.
Death - A pioneering force in Death/Progressive/Melodic metal. Their early stuff is more intense and thrash and becomes more melodic as the albums progress. For that reason I recommend songs off the final album "The Sound of Perseverance." My personal favorites on that album are "Story to Tell" and "Spirit Crusher." You should also react to "Voice of the soul" as a sort of double reaction with one of the prior ones. It is a short instrumental song but amazing. Just not long enough to warrant a solo reaction.
So great to see them still touring. This is a very great performance. Glad I saw it on your channel; love the channel btw. Great job!
"The charismatic voice" is a bit too much of narrowing things down - Elizabeth is easily the most charismatic person you will find on RUclips. Period.
Aww, thank you. ❤
@@TheCharismaticVoice I'm a speech and debate coach, and I have used sample clips of you speaking to illustrate a superb example of charisma, expression and excitement. You are literally a role model for my students.
Cheers!
The only thing I'm not a fan of is the constant pausing, moving back 8 secs, playing 10 secs,. pausing, moving back 8 secs etc. It's taking forever, but that's just me.
You have finally reacted to one of my all time favorite groups. I will say if you ever get the chance to see them live the audience adds so much to the experience. Everyone sings and adds to the song. It's truly amazing.
Great insight as always.
Actually, if you listen carefully (watch the video ;o) ) you can hear Kai Hansen singing the part "oh, it's Halloween". So it is actually 3 voices there and they are all in sync - simply amazing. I saw this concert in the best concert hall in Europe for live performance and Helloween really outdid it - better than the studio version.
Watching how you react to the entire video is so cool. I grew up with these types of bands so it's great seeing someone who didn't have the experiences react to these guys. You make me laugh and smile seeing your true enjoyment of music.
You need to listen to Amorphis: The Bee (an amazing composition), Among Stars (together with Anneke van Giersbergen, just wonderful!), Death of A King,... Just to name a few...
ruclips.net/video/h2CKapEwvpg/видео.html
I just found this video and I love it. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the band this time around at their hotel. And they are some of the nicest people on the planet.
The only person I didnt meet wqs Kiske and the band said he is incredibly private.
Another great Video.
No doubt that "How many tears" , "March of time" or the new album song "Skyfall" (13mins version) are a must listen tracks. Ps, and "we got the right", if high notes had metal song, it would be We Got The Right!
About Kiske, with Amanda Summerville or "Exceptional " from Unisonic are really great.
They frequently use this battle with th evil cause they are Christians in a way, one of the reasons that Kiske leave the heavy metal for years was cause he just get tired of the inhumanity and darkness "wave" that was very strong in the 90's. You can listen from him in some interviews. In fact I believe that he's a really great guy for one of your next "tea's" , would be a awesome interview.
Cheerzz
