Yes!! Finally some Helloween. Try out Eagle Fly Free you'll love the drums and the bass in that one. Living Ain't No Crime and Keeper Of The Seven keys, Save Us, Dr Stein, Twilight Of The Gods, Future World and the song Halloween
I was an angry metal kid when this song came out. I listened to this non-stop. It was my personal anthem for years. I haven’t heard it in a couple of years and man, it still rocks!!!!
Same here. I first heard it on a live cassette back in like 1991 or something like that, but with Helloween not being a big hit in the US, I couldn't ever find anything else by them so I lost track of them until a few years ago when I found out they "reunited". This song still is an anthem for me.
@@joshuaswanson1977 I first heard this in the early 90s when I found their greatest hits cassette in a bargain bin and figured I'd give it a shit, and was blown away! Then a few years later, when the Internet started taking off, I started hitting up import CD dealers online to get their albums.
OMG, one of my favorite bands. German Power Metal is hard to beat. You should also check out "I'm Alive", "Metal Invaders", "Eagle Fly Free", "If I Could Fly" and "Hocus Pocus". They also cover ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On Me".
Is "METAL MONDAY" going to be a thing? Because I'm sure a lot of fans would love you make it a thing! Personally would like to hear your reaction to Anthrax and their version of "Bring The Noise"... and "I'm The Man"...
@@Alithia451 Halloween is the NAME OF ONE OF THEIR SONGS! Ergo, why I said "Halloween is another good one" Your attempt at grammar correction has miserably...failed. Brooohahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
@@Alithia451 The song is just called "Halloween". There is, in fact, an American 80s band called Halloween, making it all the more important to distinguish bands and titles properly.
Amazing that you've reacted to Helloween! Pure 80's metal🎸🤘 to be honest it always reminds me of Maiden and the voice of the one and only Bruce Dickinson.
They have a song called Halloween, and you guys have to check out the live version from Madrid in 2019. It has the reunion group with Michael Kiske (this singer), Andi Deris (an equally awesome singer), Kai Hansen with his pink guitar, the other guitarist in this video, a third guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. It’s arguably the best live performance I’ve ever seen.
I loved Helloween back in the day. This track is class! If you like this you should check out Do You Like It? By Kingdom Come. The video is absolutely brilliant!
Thank you so much for doing Helloween. This one is the most played song here in the states besides Halloween. They have an amazing catalog of music. They are the Godfathers of European Power Metal. Do more Helloween Please! Love what you guys do! Huge fan!
So many bangers from Helloween.... Eagle Fly Free, Pumpkins United, Keeper of the 7 Keys (live). Very underrated but still touring today. Kai Hansen i believe still is the lead singer
Often referred to as the pioneers of the genre "power metal". Hailing from Germany, Helloween have been influential for many bands of the same genre. With Halloween approaching, you should react to more Helloween
Great reaction! Helloween is a German a "Power Metal" band and the lead singer's name is Michael Kiske, a very popular metal vocalist from this genre. I have another suggestion...Want to hear a popular Japanese metal band from the 80's? You need to check out the band, 'Loudness' and listen to the videos of either 'Crazy Nights' (HD version) or 'Let It Go' (Remastered)'. The guitarist from Loudness is considered the Japanese "Eddie Van Halen" by many. Cheers!
I’ve been a fan of Helloween since 1985. The singer’s name is Michael Kiske and he is, imo, the best singer of any genre. Recommend Eagle Fly Free as the next song of there’s you do a reaction to.
This is scary, i was listening to this song earlier today from my playlist lol. 😮, Its one of my faves. Always thought the lead vocalist sounds like the lead singer of Iron maiden Bruce Dickinson. 👌 Another band i think youll love guys is Epica and the song called Edge of the Blade. I think you'll love it, it a little different from the usual metal songs. 😎🎶🎵🎸👌
Halloween got lost in the shuffle. Harem Scarem is another one that was great but wasn’t publicized enough. The song Honestly was a gem. Really tested Harry Hess vocal range. You really need to hear some of Skid Row’s harder stuff like Monkey Business, Youth Gone Wild, Sweet Little Sister or Big Guns. What you have listened to up to date has been soft in comparison
Helloween (note spelling) did not get lost in the shuffle - here in Europe. Here they rank among the most legendary and popular heavy metal bands of all time, and perform to packed houses to this day.
Saw Helloween back in 89 or 90 with Exodus and Anthrax, was a great show. March of Time, Rise and Fall, Dr. Stein, Future World and Eagle Fly Free are all great songs by them. Mike Kiske is a fantastic singer, sounds exactly the same live as he does on albums.
Welcome to the awesome world of Helloween. Going on almost 40 years and still going strong. You definitely should check out Helloween - Halloween (official Live video) You will not be disappointed 🤘🏽🎃🤘🏽
Alright my babies.... You've just earned The Righteousness Award 🏆‼️ I seen this band open up for two other bands, in Oakland, California on the first MTV Headbangers Ball tour‼️🔥🥁🎸🎤🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
y'all gotta do Helloween's "Eagle Fly Free" next. Singer is Michael Kiske. This album and the one before it were the blueprint for the European Power Metal sound.
Never thought I would get a Helloween reaction. The pioneers of progressive metal. Michael Kiske is the singers name. He can still sing very well too. Check out Future World, March if Time or Save Us. If you really want experience Helloween's musical brilliance check out the epic Keeper of the Seven Keys title track.
Helloween is amazing. Saw them in Vegas back in June. Need to listen to perfect gentleman by them. Also they have 3 singers and all of them are amazing
The first concert I ever went to was Helloween opening for Iron Maiden back in '88, and what a concert it was. Mindblowing for a teenager like me at the time! Helloween tend to make quite long masterpieces (Halloween, The King For 1000 Years, Keeper Of The Seven Keys, etc.) which might not suit your channel, but some of the shorter good ones with Michael Kiske on vocals are Dr. Stein, Kids Of The Century, Your Turn, Future World, We Got The Right, A Tale That Wasn't Right & A Little Time.
Michael Kiske was the boy with the silver voice, Helloween’s second singer. Recently they reunited and feature all 3 singers. You can check out the song “How Many Tears” live at Waken to listen to all three singers.
Great reaction Rob Squad. The song I've listened to the most by Helloween is probably "Eagle Fly Free" because it was covered by my favorite Japanese metal band Lovebites. Now that you've watched "This is Spinal Tap", (I loved your reaction to that one), you know how important it is to be "big in Japan". And that brings me back to Lovebites. One of my favorites by Lovebites is their live version of their original song "Holy War"'. I'd love to hear my favorite reaction team, Rob Squad, take it to ELEVEN in JAPAN with LOVEBITES "HOLY WAR". ruclips.net/video/bgAxpEpEcno/видео.html
Kai Hansen wrote this song and left shortly after. Did his own band Gamma Ray. Worth a listen. Check out Heading For Tommorow. Sung by Ralf Scheepers also known for Primal Fear. The Gamma Ray 30th Anniversary live version are phenomenal. Another great song are Last Before The Storm. You should also check out vintage Helloween - Starlight. Sung by Kai Hansen
Its honestly criminal at the lack of great reactions to Helloween! So, to see that 2 of the best reactors on RUclips have finally taken the plunge was absolutely amazing! I'm sure everyone has already mentioned all the great classics, but to be honest... You can't go wrong with any song from Helloween, nor can you go wrong with any one of their 3 singers! I've been an Iron Maiden fan since 1984, and a Helloween fan since I first discovered them here in the U.S. in 1989. I honestly think I kinda like Helloween just that tiny bit more. That's the single highest compliment I can pay this amazing band. I sincerely hope you go MUCH further down the Helloween rabbit hole!
Need to check out some recent Helloween. Basically every member ever in the band all joined together. To watch Michael Kiske sing in this video compared to what he looks like now is incredible. But the voice is as strong as ever. Pumpkins United!!!
Keeper of the seven keys pt 1 and 2 were my intro to Helloween back in the 90's. german power metal is so good. Check out Avantasia which is lead by Tobias Sammat.
That's power metal for ya. Very popular in Europe bet never really caught on in the states except maybe for Judas priest and Iron Maiden and a few others
The godfather of european power metal!!!! Michael Kiske , the singer , had a large scales in his voice , Kai Hansen, the pink guitarist and first singer of the band had make great tunes for the band and for his own band Gamma Ray, another german power metal . Great history!!!!!
Michael Kiske is one of my favorite vocalists ever, and back when this song came out I looked enough like him that we could have been mistaken for brothers.
I FINALLY crossed these guys off my bands to see live bucket list this year. Not only the best concert I've been to this year but one of the best shows I've ever attended. One of those shows I never wanted to ever end. IF you ever go back to these guys you should check out a song from their most recent album called "Best Time"! Not only the sound of the song but the message and vibe of it I think would be right up your alley.
Yeeesssssss!!!! This was my favorite Power Metal band of the 80zzzz….both Keeper of the 7 Keys albums are classics 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃…..from this album try to react to “Eagle Fly Free”, “We Got the Right”, the title track, & “Save Us” 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽….try part 1 for the track “Halloween”, “Future World”, & “A Tale That Wasn’t Right” 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Keeper of the Seven Keys live from Pumpkins United in Madrid 2017 is a must. All members reunited on the same stage. Allt three singers and three guitarists. Truly amazing.
My childhood: Helloween and Maiden. "Eagle fly free" if you want another banger or ""A Tale That Wasn't Right" if you want to slow it down to a ballad.
Helloween is from (West) Germany and one of the pioneers of power metal - fantasy lyrics, high vocals, melodic twin guitars, double bass drumming... In the 80's, Helloween had the potential to be as big as Iron Maiden (whose managers handled Helloween)... and they hired a phenomenal lead vocalist in 1987 - Michael Kiske... who did this record. However, creative conflicts... infighting... poor musical choices... and label problems in the 90's pushed Helloween into obscurity. They regrouped in 1994 and carried on w/ vocalist Andi Deris, but they could never reach the success of Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. Formed in Hamburg, Germany... Helloween was originally Kai Hansen (vocals & guitar), Michael Weikath (guitar), Markus Grosskopf (bass) and Ingo Schwichtenberg (drums) ... They released an EP in 1984, followed by the album 'Walls of Jericho' in 1985... Signing to a worldwide deal by 1987, Kai Hansen decided to hand over the vocals to a frontman, and they hired 18-yr old Michael Kiske (lead vocals) for the dual albums 'Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1' (1987) and 'Keeper of the Seven Keys part II' (1988) - both albums became huge global successes, even bringing Helloween to America. Unfortunately, there were problems in Helloween... guitarist Kai Hansen wrote 'I want out' ... about his frustrations in the band and even though it became a successful Helloween single, he quit the band in 1989 to form his own metal band Gamma Ray. He had a successful career w/ them... debuting in 1990 w/ the album 'Heading for tomorrow'... Without Kai Hansen's songwriting, and 90's grunge taking over... Helloween was left without a US record label by 1991... Roland Grapow (guitar) replaced Hansen and the band opted to go for a humorous album 'Pink bubbles go ape' in '91... and then incorporated pop rock influences on the album 'Chameleon' in 1993... The album was a disaster; vocalist Michael Kiske was fired ... and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg also left the band. The original Helloween drummer ended his own life in 1995 (R.I.P.) Helloween opted to return to their power metal sound in 1994 w/ Andi Deris (vocals) ... Uli Kusch (drums) joining for the 1994 album 'Master of the Rings'... followed by 'The Time of the Oath' (1996)... 'Better than Raw' (1998) and 'The Dark Ride' (2000) ... Both guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch were fired in 2002 and Helloween recruited Sasha Gerstner (guitar) and released "Rabbit don't come easy" in 2003... Dani Loble (drums) joined in 2005... The revisited the world of 'Keeper of the Seven Keys' in '05 w/ the double album 'Keeper of the Seven Keys - The Legacy'. Helloween carried on recording and touring until 2018, when they announced that the band was reuniting w/ both Kai Hansen (guitar) and Michael Kiske (vocals) to make Helloween a 7-man band... Amazingly, Andi Deris and Michael Kiske also became best friends and shared vocals w/ Helloween on stage and in the studio... Their self-titled album was released in 2021. Some more Helloween classics - 'Future world' ... 'Halloween' (unedited version)... 'Eagle fly free' ... 'Dr. Stein' ... 'Ride the sky' ... 'Kids of the Century'... 🎃🎃🎃🎃🤘🤘 Later Helloween classics w/ Andi Deris on vocals - 'Sole survivor' ... 'Forever & one' ... 'I can' ... 'Push' ... 'Mr. Torture' ... 'In the middle of a heartbeat' ... 'Open your life'... 🎃🎃🎃🎃🤘🤘
check out some Gamma Ray...the guitarist kai Hansen's band. Michael Kiske..the singer is this song also does some stuff with Avantasia with Toby from Edguy.
I am an O.G. metal rocker...but love all genres of music....1st time hearing Helloween myself...my 1st impression is play this then listen to Turbo Lover by Judas Priest....sounds similar I am not knocking Helloween by any means....but you guys check out Turbo Lover Judas Priest and let me know 😊
I first found this band from this video being played on MTV on Headbanger's Ball when it first came out. Loved the band immediately. This is off of Keeper Of The Seven Keys - Part 2. For an epic song, try the title track, it's approximately 15 minutes and what a beautiful story it tells. A must for late October is the song Halloween by Helloween.
I remember when they played this on the Headbangers ball on MTV. Came out in 1988. Same year as Die Hard and being German and having long hair, they kind, they of looked like certain members of Hans Gruber’s Crew:)
You should check out a band called Lovebites. Helloween is listed as one of there influences and they even have a cover of Eagle Fly Free. I recommend Hammer Of Wrath, live performance from Knockin' At Heavens Gate. They are a mixture of Helloween, Iron Maiden, and Metallica in my opinion. I know you will like them and so will the people. Give the people what they want.
Hey guys, I'll check your Spinal Tap reaction tomorrow. I've heard you don't want to get an actual spinal tap. Do their "Keeper Of The Seven Keys" sometime.
Excellent now you are getting around to Power Metal, the most epic music ever. Recommend Japanese Female Power Metal band Lovebites they have covered a Halloween song. But do this one instead, Lovebites Scream For Me live Daughters of the Dawn.
YES!!!! Helloween, Keeper Of The Seven Keys is mandatory. It should be the next song by them. I also suggest Eagle Fly Free and I'm Alive if you want to get your heart rate going.
"Eagle Fly Free" is another great one from these guys. And anything from Keeper of the seven Keys pt 2....especially live. Regardless of which singer you have they are great. Michael Kiske is the singer on this one. Andi Deris replaced him for a while, until the band reunited a few years ago. They also have another killer vocalist in Kai Hansen (the pink guitarist in this video) he was their original vocalist. Check out their catalog, you won't be disappointed.
Eagle Fly Free, Keeper of the 7 Keys from United Alive or Halloween (United Alive), King for a 1,000 years live in 3 Continents or How Many tears from United Alive are all must see!
this was probably the first and only music album i chose completely by myself, i was 18. Everything else was influenced by someone else, but this was so intimately mine, and still is
The singer Michael Kiske stills sounds like that today. The guitarist Kai Hansen and Kiske returned to play with Helloween on the Pumpkins United tour. Michael and singer Andy Deris sound great together on that tour. You should check Kiske and Hanson with the band Unisonic.
One of my fave bands ever. Back in the 80s i was fortunate enough to meet them having a drink in a back street boozer whilst they were on tour, no one in the pub knew who they were then there is little old me almost peeing my pants with excitement and yes i did get to have a drink with them lol i love anything by Helloween but Dr Steine is my fave 😊 pls react to more of they're songs ❤
I havent seen the movie reaction yet nor heard this song before but you are right Jay, you just have to tap your frrt and nod .your head. That was a real "BANGER". Really enjoyed that one. ❤🎼🥁
Good morning, great reaction to the godfathers of Power Metal. If you get a chance try and check out Helloween and their Song Power : ruclips.net/video/pPs3oBk36Ng/видео.html . Thank you for sharing, have a lovely day.
At this point in time of the band, Helloween was : • Michael Kiske = vcoals • Michael Weikath = guitars • Kai Hansen = lead guitar and vocals - Hansen was also lead vocalist before Kiske, on the debut release : an eponymous EP in 1985, and full album, Walls Of Jericho and standalone single Judas (was not on the WOJ album, and was not released til several months after WOJ) in 1986 - their heaviest stuff at the time) • Marcus Großkopf (Grosskopf) = bass • Ingo Schwichtenberg = drums This song is from the 1988 album Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II, which followed Part I (released in 1987). Keeper was supposed to be a double album but the record label said no (due to some contractual technicalities or whatever - just more power-trippin corporate bullsh*t), and forced them to releases the material as 2 separate volumes. It wasn't even a balanced split ; Part I only clocked in at around 37 minutes with 7 tracks (or 8, if you consider the introduction track separate), while Part II was over 55 minutes and 8 tracks (or, again, 9, if you consider the opening intro track to stand on its own). Part I features their epic almost-14-minute song Halloween, and Part II has the title track which also runs nearly the same length (between 13 and 14 minutes). Both are worth a reaction, but AVOID the official video for Halloween ; it has been butchered down to "radio friendly" single-edit format (and a sloppy mix) of a lousy 5 minutes.
I suggest Living Ain't No Crime, it's really good and has pretty much the same message as this one, also Power is good and Dr Stein is a classic that's really good as well!
Love old school Helloween, you need to check out Keeper of the seven keys part2, long ass song but it rocks, all the songs on that album are great. Third great song of the day. keep it up.
Helloween are the creaters and the fathers of power metal in 84 but when the singer Michael Kiske went to the band in 87 he change the history off the power metal no one sings like him i. That time..... Today power metal is the type of .metal most played whith more bands in the world
Wow, what a really good surprise ! Helloween is one of the greatest european Metal bands and their lead singer at the time was Michael Kiske.This band has a lot of great bangers: "I Want Out", of course, but also "Eagle Fly Free", "Dr. Stein", "A Tale That Wasn't Right", "Future World". Helloween had another lead singer called Andy Deris since the mid-90's and with him, they did great songs like "Perfect Gentleman", "Power" (this song is a fantastic anthem), "I Can". Besides Helloween, there are a lot of great European Metal bands from the 80's & 90's. You could eventually check out these ones: - Accept: "Balls To The Walls", "Fast As A Shark", "Restless And Wild", "Princess Of A Dawn", "Midnight Mover" - Warlock: "All We Are", "East Meets West" - Bonfire: "Sword And Stone", "Ready 4 Reaction", "American Nights", "Hard On Me" - Pretty Maids (a Danish band): "Future World", "Back To Back", "Red Hot And Heavy", "Love Games", "Rodeo", "Hell On High Heels" - TNT (a Norwegian band): "10000 Lovers (In One)", "Everyone's A Star", Intuition" - Gamma Ray: "Heaven Can Wait", "Space Eater"
I turned this up to 11 !!! Love Helloween. Keeper of the Seven Keys is a must.
Damn! You beat me to it. 😅🤘
Keeper of the Seven Keys for sure!
Definitely my favorite Helloween!
Why not just turn it up to 10 and make 10 the loudest?
Must react to Keeper of the Seven Keys
Yes!! Finally some Helloween. Try out Eagle Fly Free you'll love the drums and the bass in that one. Living Ain't No Crime and Keeper Of The Seven keys, Save Us, Dr Stein, Twilight Of The Gods, Future World and the song Halloween
The Guitarist is none other than the legendary Kai Hansen and vocalist Michael Kiske ! Hail to Helloween !
Your next Helloween track should be "Keeper of the Seven Keys"- manifesting the amazing vocal prowess of Michael Kiske !
I was an angry metal kid when this song came out. I listened to this non-stop. It was my personal anthem for years. I haven’t heard it in a couple of years and man, it still rocks!!!!

We got the right is another Helloween classic.
Dr Stein is a classic and shows off his vocals to the max
Lol they'll like the lyrics
eh a little too goofy for a second helping. They should go for Eagle Fly Free next.
No
You have to do Helloween "Keeper of the Seven Keys".
or Eagle Fly Free..or We got the right or Twilight of the gods...man ..so many

Amazing that you've reacted to Helloween! Pure 80's metal🎸🤘 to be honest it always reminds me of Maiden and the voice of the one and only Bruce Dickinson.
Nothing beats 80s Metal. Period. Definitely influenced by Iron Maiden. But they are one of the most influential Metal bands of all time.
I get some Priest in the mix as well.
I was going to say Dio. How have I not known about this before now? It's straight up my alley.

An actual non-mainstream old school, metal band! 🤘🤘
So many bangers from Helloween.... Eagle Fly Free, Pumpkins United, Keeper of the 7 Keys (live). Very underrated but still touring today. Kai Hansen i believe still is the lead singer
Kai plays lead guitar...lead singer here is Michael Kiske. This song represented Hansen's desire to quit the band.
Michael Kiske and Andy Derris ,
The great Kai Hansen wrote this song!! You have to check out "Skyfall" off their latest album Helloween. He also wrote this monster of a song!!
You cant go wrong with anything from Helloween Gamma Ray or Unironic . Great to see Michael Kiske back on stage with Helloween

Big yes to Harem Scarem and Honestly! This one - meh.
Their debut-album is awsome. "With a Little Love" and "Something to Say" are my favourites besides "Honestly".
And "Stranger Than Love" on the next album.
Helloween (note spelling) did not get lost in the shuffle - here in Europe. Here they rank among the most legendary and popular heavy metal bands of all time, and perform to packed houses to this day.

I'm sure everyone has already mentioned all the great classics, but to be honest... You can't go wrong with any song from Helloween, nor can you go wrong with any one of their 3 singers!
I've been an Iron Maiden fan since 1984, and a Helloween fan since I first discovered them here in the U.S. in 1989. I honestly think I kinda like Helloween just that tiny bit more. That's the single highest compliment I can pay this amazing band. I sincerely hope you go MUCH further down the Helloween rabbit hole!
I saw them in local club here in pa. With grim reaper and armored saint...these guys rocked
Michael Kiske on vocals on this. He was replaced by the amazing Andi Deris. They are currently touring with both lead singers.
Need to check out some recent Helloween. Basically every member ever in the band all joined together. To watch Michael Kiske sing in this video compared to what he looks like now is incredible. But the voice is as strong as ever.
Pumpkins United!!!
Helloween is amazing band from Germany, My favorite band!!!
Keeper of the seven keys pt 1 and 2 were my intro to Helloween back in the 90's. german power metal is so good. Check out Avantasia which is lead by Tobias Sammat.
You want 80’s Raunch n Roll checkout Bulletboys.Any song from first 3 albums
That's your introduction to the best metal band ever and the best metal singer...Michael Kiske. I'm not sure you are worthy of them.
For an epic fantasy song in the vein of LOTR listen to Helloween's "Keeper of the Seven Keys" (studio)
That's power metal for ya. Very popular in Europe bet never really caught on in the states except maybe for Judas priest and Iron Maiden and a few others
Another band you should chexk out is Running Wild. Start with "Conquistadores".
Oh yeah. That bass intro by Jens Becker (now in Grave Digger)! Jay's gonna love it.
The Keepers of the 7 Keys, The best from Germany , the land of heavy fucking metal .
Should check out their song Halloween, Keeper of the Seven Keys, and many others.
The godfather of european power metal!!!! Michael Kiske , the singer , had a large scales in his voice , Kai Hansen, the pink guitarist and first singer of the band had make great tunes for the band and for his own band Gamma Ray, another german power metal . Great history!!!!!
oh my...you guys listening to Helloween...need to see this haha...Michael Kiske on vocals and yes, he rules...
You need to react to Helloween's "Keeper of The Seven Keys". Such a great song!
the singer is michael kiske when he was 20 years old and for your concideration he is now in his 50ies and still hit notes like these.
Michael Kiske is one of my favorite vocalists ever, and back when this song came out I looked enough like him that we could have been mistaken for brothers.
his name is Michael KISKE, one of the best german rock singers ever!
You two are awesome for keeping generations of great music alive 👍
I FINALLY crossed these guys off my bands to see live bucket list this year. Not only the best concert I've been to this year but one of the best shows I've ever attended. One of those shows I never wanted to ever end.
IF you ever go back to these guys you should check out a song from their most recent album called "Best Time"! Not only the sound of the song but the message and vibe of it I think would be right up your alley.
I was just thinking about this yesterday… you guys would enjoy Keeper of the Seven Keys… what a coincidence! 🤯😂
Yeeesssssss!!!! This was my favorite Power Metal band of the 80zzzz….both Keeper of the 7 Keys albums are classics 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃…..from this album try to react to “Eagle Fly Free”, “We Got the Right”, the title track, & “Save Us” 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽….try part 1 for the track “Halloween”, “Future World”, & “A Tale That Wasn’t Right” 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
Say them live in may. Easily the best show I’ve ever seen
Keeper of the Seven Keys live from Pumpkins United in Madrid 2017 is a must. All members reunited on the same stage. Allt three singers and three guitarists. Truly amazing.
My childhood: Helloween and Maiden. "Eagle fly free" if you want another banger or ""A Tale That Wasn't Right" if you want to slow it down to a ballad.
I see many are going with "Keeper of the Seven Keys" so i am changing to that aswell :) Its probably their best but almost 14 min long :) EPIC!
Helloween is from (West) Germany and one of the pioneers of power metal - fantasy lyrics, high vocals, melodic twin guitars, double bass drumming... In the 80's, Helloween had the potential to be as big as Iron Maiden (whose managers handled Helloween)... and they hired a phenomenal lead vocalist in 1987 - Michael Kiske... who did this record.
However, creative conflicts... infighting... poor musical choices... and label problems in the 90's pushed Helloween into obscurity. They regrouped in 1994 and carried on w/ vocalist Andi Deris, but they could never reach the success of Iron Maiden or Judas Priest.
Formed in Hamburg, Germany... Helloween was originally Kai Hansen (vocals & guitar), Michael Weikath (guitar), Markus Grosskopf (bass) and Ingo Schwichtenberg (drums) ... They released an EP in 1984, followed by the album 'Walls of Jericho' in 1985... Signing to a worldwide deal by 1987, Kai Hansen decided to hand over the vocals to a frontman, and they hired 18-yr old Michael Kiske (lead vocals) for the dual albums 'Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1' (1987) and 'Keeper of the Seven Keys part II' (1988) - both albums became huge global successes, even bringing Helloween to America.
Unfortunately, there were problems in Helloween... guitarist Kai Hansen wrote 'I want out' ... about his frustrations in the band and even though it became a successful Helloween single, he quit the band in 1989 to form his own metal band Gamma Ray. He had a successful career w/ them... debuting in 1990 w/ the album 'Heading for tomorrow'...
Without Kai Hansen's songwriting, and 90's grunge taking over... Helloween was left without a US record label by 1991... Roland Grapow (guitar) replaced Hansen and the band opted to go for a humorous album 'Pink bubbles go ape' in '91... and then incorporated pop rock influences on the album 'Chameleon' in 1993... The album was a disaster; vocalist Michael Kiske was fired ... and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg also left the band. The original Helloween drummer ended his own life in 1995 (R.I.P.)
Helloween opted to return to their power metal sound in 1994 w/ Andi Deris (vocals) ... Uli Kusch (drums) joining for the 1994 album 'Master of the Rings'... followed by 'The Time of the Oath' (1996)... 'Better than Raw' (1998) and 'The Dark Ride' (2000) ... Both guitarist Roland Grapow and drummer Uli Kusch were fired in 2002 and Helloween recruited Sasha Gerstner (guitar) and released "Rabbit don't come easy" in 2003... Dani Loble (drums) joined in 2005... The revisited the world of 'Keeper of the Seven Keys' in '05 w/ the double album 'Keeper of the Seven Keys - The Legacy'.
Helloween carried on recording and touring until 2018, when they announced that the band was reuniting w/ both Kai Hansen (guitar) and Michael Kiske (vocals) to make Helloween a 7-man band... Amazingly, Andi Deris and Michael Kiske also became best friends and shared vocals w/ Helloween on stage and in the studio... Their self-titled album was released in 2021.
Some more Helloween classics - 'Future world' ... 'Halloween' (unedited version)... 'Eagle fly free' ... 'Dr. Stein' ... 'Ride the sky' ... 'Kids of the Century'... 🎃🎃🎃🎃🤘🤘
Later Helloween classics w/ Andi Deris on vocals - 'Sole survivor' ... 'Forever & one' ... 'I can' ... 'Push' ... 'Mr. Torture' ... 'In the middle of a heartbeat' ... 'Open your life'... 🎃🎃🎃🎃🤘🤘
check out some Gamma Ray...the guitarist kai Hansen's band. Michael Kiske..the singer is this song also does some stuff with Avantasia with Toby from Edguy.
just for fun-- the bands Gamma Ray, Bullet, and Crucified Barbara playing "I Want Out" live in Berlin :ruclips.net/video/LsJDkqc4bfA/видео.html
I am an O.G. metal rocker...but love all genres of music....1st time hearing Helloween myself...my 1st impression is play this then listen to Turbo Lover by Judas Priest....sounds similar I am not knocking Helloween by any means....but you guys check out Turbo Lover Judas Priest and let me know 😊
You need to check out Unisonic's 2012 song... Unisonic! Michael Kiske and Kai Kansen from Helloween being AMAZING! He still has that voice.
Dr. Stein! Future World! Keeper Of The Seven Keys! Halloween! ...and my personal favourite: When The Sinner! (really underrated gem)
their concerts are always full speed ahead...Michael Kiske was one of their best singers 👍👍👍🤘💥
I also recommend : Pink Cream 69!!!!❤
I first found this band from this video being played on MTV on Headbanger's Ball when it first came out. Loved the band immediately. This is off of Keeper Of The Seven Keys - Part 2. For an epic song, try the title track, it's approximately 15 minutes and what a beautiful story it tells. A must for late October is the song Halloween by Helloween.
Guys just do "Dr. Stein" - it's hilarious! (or "Halloween" or "keeper of the seven keys" songs, if you're in for 13-minutes-songs...)
I remember when they played this on the Headbangers ball on MTV. Came out in 1988. Same year as Die Hard and being German and having long hair, they kind, they of looked like certain members of Hans Gruber’s Crew:)
You should check out a band called Lovebites. Helloween is listed as one of there influences and they even have a cover of Eagle Fly Free. I recommend Hammer Of Wrath, live performance from Knockin' At Heavens Gate. They are a mixture of Helloween, Iron Maiden, and Metallica in my opinion. I know you will like them and so will the people. Give the people what they want.
Hey guys, I'll check your Spinal Tap reaction tomorrow. I've heard you don't want to get an actual spinal tap. Do their "Keeper Of The Seven Keys" sometime.
Trans Siberian Orchestra (they're more than just Christmas stuff), Savatage - both should be explored.
Excellent now you are getting around to Power Metal, the most epic music ever.
Recommend Japanese Female Power Metal band Lovebites they have covered a Halloween song.
But do this one instead, Lovebites Scream For Me live Daughters of the Dawn.
YES!!!! Helloween, Keeper Of The Seven Keys is mandatory. It should be the next song by them. I also suggest Eagle Fly Free and I'm Alive if you want to get your heart rate going.
"Eagle Fly Free" is another great one from these guys. And anything from Keeper of the seven Keys pt 2....especially live. Regardless of which singer you have they are great. Michael Kiske is the singer on this one. Andi Deris replaced him for a while, until the band reunited a few years ago. They also have another killer vocalist in Kai Hansen (the pink guitarist in this video) he was their original vocalist. Check out their catalog, you won't be disappointed.
Eagle Fly Free, Keeper of the 7 Keys from United Alive or Halloween (United Alive), King for a 1,000 years live in 3 Continents or How Many tears from United Alive are all must see!
this was probably the first and only music album i chose completely by myself, i was 18. Everything else was influenced by someone else, but this was so intimately mine, and still is
Great band! Love their song Halloween. A favorite played every season.
The singer Michael Kiske stills sounds like that today. The guitarist Kai Hansen and Kiske returned to play with Helloween on the Pumpkins United tour. Michael and singer Andy Deris sound great together on that tour. You should check Kiske and Hanson with the band Unisonic.
One of my fave bands ever. Back in the 80s i was fortunate enough to meet them having a drink in a back street boozer whilst they were on tour, no one in the pub knew who they were then there is little old me almost peeing my pants with excitement and yes i did get to have a drink with them lol i love anything by Helloween but Dr Steine is my fave 😊 pls react to more of they're songs ❤
I havent seen the movie reaction yet nor heard this song before but you are right Jay, you just have to tap your frrt and nod .your head. That was a real "BANGER". Really enjoyed that one. ❤🎼🥁
Good morning, great reaction to the godfathers of Power Metal. If you get a chance try and check out Helloween and their Song Power : ruclips.net/video/pPs3oBk36Ng/видео.html . Thank you for sharing, have a lovely day.
Totally forgot about this song, haven’t heard this in ages. Just added to my Spotify 👊🏽😄.
That was Michael Kiske, a great singer...he can hold high notes for long. Glad you enjoyed 😀
My suggestion is A tale that wasn't right
Whitesnake - Night Hawk (Vampire Blues) | This is OLD Whitesnake.
At this point in time of the band, Helloween was :
• Michael Kiske = vcoals
• Michael Weikath = guitars
• Kai Hansen = lead guitar and vocals - Hansen was also lead vocalist before Kiske, on the debut release : an eponymous EP in 1985, and full album, Walls Of Jericho and standalone single Judas (was not on the WOJ album, and was not released til several months after WOJ) in 1986 - their heaviest stuff at the time)
• Marcus Großkopf (Grosskopf) = bass
• Ingo Schwichtenberg = drums
This song is from the 1988 album Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part II, which followed Part I (released in 1987). Keeper was supposed to be a double album but the record label said no (due to some contractual technicalities or whatever - just more power-trippin corporate bullsh*t), and forced them to releases the material as 2 separate volumes.
It wasn't even a balanced split ; Part I only clocked in at around 37 minutes with 7 tracks (or 8, if you consider the introduction track separate), while Part II was over 55 minutes and 8 tracks (or, again, 9, if you consider the opening intro track to stand on its own).
Part I features their epic almost-14-minute song Halloween, and Part II has the title track which also runs nearly the same length (between 13 and 14 minutes).
Both are worth a reaction, but AVOID the official video for Halloween ; it has been butchered down to "radio friendly" single-edit format (and a sloppy mix) of a lousy 5 minutes.
I suggest Living Ain't No Crime, it's really good and has pretty much the same message as this one, also Power is good and Dr Stein is a classic that's really good as well!
Love old school Helloween, you need to check out Keeper of the seven keys part2, long ass song but it rocks, all the songs on that album are great. Third great song of the day. keep it up.
Helloween are the creaters and the fathers of power metal in 84 but when the singer Michael Kiske went to the band in 87 he change the history off the power metal no one sings like him i. That time.....
Today power metal is the type of .metal most played whith more bands in the world
Helloween the Father of European Power metal. Keeper of the Seven keys 2 Masterpiece.
Wow, what a really good surprise ! Helloween is one of the greatest european Metal bands and their lead singer at the time was Michael Kiske.This band has a lot of great bangers: "I Want Out", of course, but also "Eagle Fly Free", "Dr. Stein", "A Tale That Wasn't Right", "Future World". Helloween had another lead singer called Andy Deris since the mid-90's and with him, they did great songs like "Perfect Gentleman", "Power" (this song is a fantastic anthem), "I Can".
Besides Helloween, there are a lot of great European Metal bands from the 80's & 90's. You could eventually check out these ones:
- Accept: "Balls To The Walls", "Fast As A Shark", "Restless And Wild", "Princess Of A Dawn", "Midnight Mover"
- Warlock: "All We Are", "East Meets West"
- Bonfire: "Sword And Stone", "Ready 4 Reaction", "American Nights", "Hard On Me"
- Pretty Maids (a Danish band): "Future World", "Back To Back", "Red Hot And Heavy", "Love Games", "Rodeo", "Hell On High Heels"
- TNT (a Norwegian band): "10000 Lovers (In One)", "Everyone's A Star", Intuition"
- Gamma Ray: "Heaven Can Wait", "Space Eater"
Both Deris and Kiske are in Helloween today. In case you weren't aware 🙂
@@erikthompson619 Yeah, I know it 😎
This was one of my fav songs back in the day. Sooo many memories...Headbangers Ball
Underrated
Not here in Europe. Here they are one of the most popular, influential and legendary heavy metal bands of all time, and still pack venues.
