Ralf Scheepers is awesome. Vocals for GammaRay for the first few albums (before Kai Hansen took over). Then applied for the position of lead singer for Judas Priest when Rob Halford went solo for a while - but the spot went to Ripper Owen’s. So Scheepers went back to Germany and founded Primal Fear (A great German band that you should definitely check out). GammaRay always created great music, no matter who was on vocals. Great reaction. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🤘
This style was still fairly new in 1990, starting in the mid 80's with Helloween (Kai Hansen's former band). It only had brief exposure over here with Helloween in the late 80's on Headbanger's ball, but it's never gone away in Europe. It has become more popular over here through the years thanks to the internet though.
I think it never caught on big here outside of Helloween cause we had prog metal too like Savatage and Queensryche which has similarities , German bands too.for whatever reason outside the Scorpions never seem to get big here either Warlock/Bonfire/Accept etc. had their fan bases but never really hit and come to think of it outside of English bands its pretty scarce for other Euro countries Krokus /D.A.D. /Pretty Maids etc. .
@@toddmcsweeny youre welcome. ive been following them a long time thats why i know. I can understand if youre new to the Hunterz channel that it could get you confused
Kai Hansen is the father of european power metal with Helloween and Gamma Ray!
They wouldn’t be around if it wasn’t for him
Ralf Scheepers is an amazing vocalist, but for me, Gamma Ray is Kai Hansen ( guitarist here before he took over vocal duties as well ). \m/

I love Primal Fear!
Grunge could not overpower metal in Europe, specially in Germany. This metal never went away.
Great power metal band with amazing songs! \m/
Ralf is a monster! U should watch Gamma Ray's 30th anniversary show, the same song, with Ralf singing
Thats how 4 helloween album may sound
Lol! Wonder if they heard Tobias Sammett or maybe André Matos r.i.p to the great man or even Jorn Lande
Power Metal still rules!
