Love this channel I love your break downs can you look at biffy clyro great songs
Look into biffy clyro
Death angel love to see that review
Brrak down some ozzy rhandy Rhoads
Michael Kiske has one of the most well-preserved voices in metal. You should definitely check out the studio version as well and compare how he sounded when he first recorded the track when he was 19 and now when he's in his mid 50s.
Exactly what I thought. Something like "I Want Out" would be very nice, there's even an official music video.
I think he might even sound better. He was always great, but wow.
You’re absolutely right with this comment.
I think some of that might have to do with the 90's and his "leaving metal".
When he came back with Avantasia it was fantastic and his voice has held up amazingly.
It's just weird seeing him bald and looking like one of my old friends (Ironically who introduced me to Helloween)
He sounds better now vs then kai is still my favorite hellowern vocalist and I love kai's stuff with gamma ray.
But I like that micheal kiske has a lot more chest voice now and feeling.
He still holds back to much on the highs.
But is a lot better singer now.
And its the holding back on the highs or unwillingness to do clean screams.
Which is what always annoyed me. About
Micheal kiske.
And I don't want to hear it throws out your clean voice excuse either.
Which is his excuse.
Rob Halford would literally scream live and in the studio and not throw out his voice.
Geoff tate did some screams too without throwing out his clean voice.
He just never mastered or figured out on how to do it properly.
You should hear the 18 year old Kiske. Outstanding.
The Keeper of the 7 keys albums are metal masterpieces. Kiske is the without a doubt the best singer Helloween had. He’s just simply amazing.
Kiske is the without a doubt one of the best singer the whole metal world had.
@@bottishg
I completely agree. When I was a teenager I bought both Keeper of the Seven Keys cassette tapes and listened to them none stop. As a guitarist I was amazed at the Neo-Classical shredding Kai and Michael did. I sat down and tried to learn everything they played. The entire band are incredible musicians. They never got enough credit in the US for how incredible they are.
@@jamesmccormick875 orginal LPs
"I really love these two guys singing together" - we all do , we all do ! It was the best thing ever to happen to this band.
Agreed!
Stunned me to hear them together. Kiske is one of my favorite vocalists, and the combo of hm and Andi is incredible. (Plus having Kai is incredibly awesome)
amen
Too bad album is just average :(
It's happening! It's finally happening!
One of my all time favourite vocal performances
I love it when a plan comes together
Only since it's the recent live version, it's not the same as the all time vocal
performance of the studio album, oh well.
#worth
I bring you another Helloween suggestion: "March of Time". Is probably one of the most vocal-demanding songs of the band. Kiske recorded the voices for that song when he was 18, but he did a great job singing it back again during their last tour.
The Kiske-Deris combination was something that no one was expecting 5 years ago, but they complemented very well. I have high expectations for the upcoming album with them on the voices.
Also, if you liked power metal and it's classical music influence, I think you definitely should check Rhapsody of Fire.
How'bout We Got the Right lad?
Possibly the best choice for an first listen to Helloween. It's a shame that many people just dismissed them as a 'cheap copy of Iron Maiden'... they really should have been recognized for their musicianship & uniqueness. Most of what they do is nothing like Maiden
I've listened to Helloween for more than 25 years and I've never ever heard anybody saying that about them. Who are these "many people"?!
@@Selynn. I don't dismiss them as a cheap copy, but when I first heard this band I absolutely thought of Iron Maiden. I'm sure a lot of people do. It's not crazy.
@@Selynn.
I agree, I have never heard that back then and I never thought it!
@@jsmithers.
Do you remember when this was, what phase of Helloween?
@@DerEchteBold It was maybe like 5 years ago. I forget the album though. Probably was an older one
PLEAAASE DO "HOW MANY TEARS" IN THIS CONCERT, it features the 3 singers in the same song, ITS PURE JOY
Yes Kiske, Hansen and Deris in one Song! I think this is the very fucking best Version of this Song!
I was in that concert and I swear it was the most mind blowing experience of my whole life
I have the impression that all of the spanish metalheads over 30 were there. It's the only concert I've been where everybody that I know that likes heavy metal was also present. :)
The godfathers of power metal. 🤘🤘
Power metal is basically Helloween and various cover bands.
Basically its Kai Hansen and most of his bands.....
Long Live Kai!
Don't forget Dio
At the minute 24:39 of the video.. I can hear into my head the EPIC solo coming after that drums beat and the tempo changing.. Btw I LOVE the way you analize the song but what I love the most is the way you react to every detail or changes on the song. Awesome videos, I'll keep watching them 🙌
30+ year fan of Helloween here, and your video arrived in my feed today. Superb job on your analysis. We love Kiske, and are glad you do too!
Helloween and Gamma Ray have a special place in my heart, they broke me out of my pure Death Metal phase in the early 00's and introduced me to the wonderful world of Power Metal. So this video along with bonus Elizabeth growl is a instant thumbs up from me, just glorious.
So so glad you mentioned Gamma Ray. Such underrated power metal!
Her smile and laugh are very infectious
I was there, was insane, one of the best live perfomances i've attended.
This is my new favourite channel. You have so much knowledge in not only voice techniques but also in music and composing in general. So fresh to hear your comments on different styles and pieces of music. Also, I'm a long time Helloween fan and you gave me new insight to this masterpiece even after 35 years listening to it. Thank you and great work!
This Man Plants Himself stronger than Trees can. He is Solid. Perfect platform for projection
I lived right across the street from Michael Kiske back when we both still were kids, and I can attest to the fact that he's taken more than one page from Geoff Tate's playbook by listening to a lot of Queensryche before catching his big break with Helloween, but hearing him now, his voice has aged so much better.
Finally, I was waiting for that day, one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life, in the voice of the impeccable michael kiske, this song is incomparable.
As a child I was listening this band because of my dad. And now its one of my favourite ever, technically amazing, and those lyrics, voices, solos, atmosphere. Unbelievable 🧡
One of the best metal songs ever made hands down.
Thank you very much for your reaction. I remembered my youth. Ocean, starry sky and "Keeper of the seven keys".
For those of of you guys that missed it the first time around!
Upvote for a look at the other founders of power metal, Manowar. They'll tick all of Elizabeth's boxes, from fantasy to musicianship... let's say Heart of Steel.
Kiske kept his vocal power but aged beautifully, smoothing the edges and gaining a lot of chatacter. Fun fact: he is a big Elvis fan.
I just saw Helloween tonight in Santiago de Chile, this song made burst in tears, again
Steelheart - She's gone, live in Hong Kong 1992. Let's make this happen! 😊
This presentation gives soul-goosebumps!
I loved this band in high school but holy crap this blew me away. I didn't realize how young they were when I saw them in 88. (Michael was 20) They were great but they've had 3 decades of growth and it shows.
I first listened to helloween a few months ago. I could have been listening to them since I was 2, but it took me 36 years to pull my head out of my butt.
Thanks for the analysis, I really enjoyed it!
This concert was extremely long and this is at the end of it. He is also past his prime here. In his day, he was damn near unmatched!
If I were at this gig I would have been in floods of tears I think, it just...makes my soul feel complete
Minute 20:00 and on...a very "Pink Floydish moment"... Loved that!... This guys sure are pure talent!!!
If you consider that the song is from the 80s... They are, were , Amazing
I've been waiting for this since the day I first found this channel! 😀
Me too. 😄
I think you'd like Helloween - Forever and One, from the same Concert, where Michael and Andi sing together.
I've been following your channel for many months and i've always thought i really love your sincere smile, 'cause i think you are one of the few people I still see being truly and sincerely moved by listening to music. Thanks for your emotions. Greetings from Italy and sorry for my english
You should listent to the album version. His voice was So much powerful at this Time.
Michael Kiske born 1968. This Concert was held by him over 50 yrs old. Amazing
Kiske is a beast. Im glad you enjoyed it.
This band is pure virtuosity. 3 great singers! (One of the guitarist is Kai Hansen amazing singer on his own) . They play 2-2,5 hours without missing a note . Bass
player is amazing and drummer is one of the best in whole metal genre. Seen them live 9 times and 5/5 every time.
I envy you.
Kai can't really sing anymore (this is coming from a massive Kai fangirl). But still, Helloween and Blind Guardian are the best German bands out there (followed by Edguy, if Tobi ever gets them going again).
Awesome analysis, I learn a lot from you, and forgive me but I cannot help it but I love you :D Kiske is my favorite singer of all (love the power of Eric Adams from Manowar as well) and you just give him the credits he is supposed to get from all, also the metal haters as they always say they are just screaming. So thank you for this vid and analysis.
she finally got it... Metal and Classical Music , Have So Much In Common.....Rock ON!!!!!!
Steelheart's " She's gone" I don't know the singer , but he probably be a house hold name.
He is Miljenko Matijević, an incredible singer.
I love your appreciation for power metal, which is my all time favourite genre, and as a huge fan of everything fantasy and epic it also moves me how excited you get about the lyrics and storytelling. Btw Helloween has three lead singers (two vocalists and one guitar player who also sings lead sometimes). Two of those singers were out of the band for decades but returned a few years ago to do a Pumpkins Reunited tour and they just decided to keep that lineup. So now they are seven members. Seven keys. It's so beautiful. And their last album is a throwback to their glory days mixed with their epic new impulses and LOTS of perfect vocal harmonies. I could go on forever about this band... Thank you for choosing this song, the song that is the very birth of epic power metal. You are awesome, Elizabeth!
Helloween!! Man, this is going back for me. They have been around a long time.. Still waiting on RUSH...
I love how giddy you get with Kiske's voice! 💜 LOVE MICHAEL'S VOICE!! Check out the song Cross The Line by Place Vendome. Michael's voice is incredible in that track!
One of the best things to happen in metal in many years, seeing past singers of Helloween united on stage! Love your reaction vids!
Helloween великая группа, Майкл великий вокалист. В моем сердце навсегда!!!
Kiske has a really wide range, even thoug he is geting old and cant reach the higher notes he can go very low too. His covers of Elvis are awesome.
"Metal and Classical music have so much in common" - Elizabeth. Yup, every metal fan has said this for decades, they are one and the same....... stunning
O Kiske de todos é o meu preferido ! Extraordinário! E esse som dispensa comentarios
Your reactions reminded me when I was 14 or so when I first listened to helloween.
Kiske the man with the golden voice him and Roy Khan were personal heroes of mine I grew up listening to these guys.
i had their album in cassette format.. what a glorius time in our life....
......
I grew up on classical music and opera. There is no difference . Metal is the same. Beautiful transitions and melodies and harmonies.
Djent!
22:04 ...The ANDI DERIS GOD!!Not sound generic,can sing high one's,lower one's,clean and drive!!
You're absolutely right - Michael Kiske's voice sounds surprisingly young at 49 (at the time of this concert). BUT ... you just didn’t hear HOW he sang at the age of 19-30, this is even more amazing. I hope you will make a reaction to this.
Can you analyse ex vocal UDO Dirkschineder of band called "Accept" He has got a unique and very strong voice. If you look as "UDO" Thank you
Pumpkins Eyes and Sparkles. You perfectly profoundly explained those sounds!
Gotta believe there have been multiple suggestions for opera/rocker Christina Ramos who recently performed on BGT Champions show and hit a couple of notes beyond belief.
For 15 years I've been thinking what the solo reminds me of.
Michael and Andy together they blow your mind
I really love her. She's so smaaaaaaaaaaaart and cute
He is an amazing singer. Awesome band
Man Michael Kiske has godly metal voice
I love the band. It was Kei Hansen the first vocal they said he was the godfather of power metal, then the 2nd vocalist is Michael Kiske and the last I know is Andy Deris.
This is the Boh Rap of power metal.
It's impressive that he stills sounds like he did over 30 years ago. But he hasn't been touring for months and years fragging his voice.
he doesn't sound like 30 years ago. most of the time he is dropping the melody an octave instead of hitting the high notes.
@@louiscyfer6944 I'm just a fan and it sounded like I remember from the albums. Guess I need to have a side by side listen, but I'm not trained on what to look for really. To be honest, I made this comment, because when I compare him with other singers who are *really* struggling he still sounds great to me.
@@louiscyfer6944 He does indeed sound like 30 years ago here. Nope, he's not dropping the melody an octave, at least that's not the case here.
@@matsemoto5301 i guess you are deaf dude. he is not dropping the entire melody, he is only dropping the high notes an octave. compare it to the original. you have no idea what you are talking a out, i wonder where you got your music degree.
@@louiscyfer6944 No, but I don't even need to guess that you are a stone deaf yourself, without even knowing it. But at least you're very self-assured. Just doesn't mean you're right ;-)
Helloween is my second favorite band of all time. First being Life of Agony. Thank you for doing these. Your technical knowledge and passion really shines through.
Epic song. Kick ass singer n kick ass mucisians. The review was great too. Love it.
I LOVE the studio version! In those times Michael Kiske was 19 years!!! The whole Album is a masterpiece!!!
Elizabeth as adorable as ever. Michael Kiske is and will be the best voice of Power metal and the most melodic.
Michael he has a tenor type voice and possesses an almost 4 octave vocal range, as he is capable of reaching extremely high notes (A5) and low baritone notes (E2) as well
You should heard them in the 80's. ❤🤘
Another good Kiske is Unisonic's Exceptional.Great song.
I think Michael Kiske's performances were even more impressive back in the 1980s when he was a little skinny guy with more hair than than body girth. Saw Helloween with him once and once with Supared, and was blown away both times.
I just found this today and can't stop lol. Huge Dream Theater fan and great singers, prog music, loved your Opeth video. Maybe check out Shadow gallery I believe, Labrie actually did guest spot. I think you would enjoy! Harmonies are amazing!
Mike Kiske the vocal beast !
17:30 he's been singing this for... 30 years now? He can probably sing it with more confidence than most people sneeze. (Ok, yes, he _was_ missing for like 20 years...)
Hey, Elizabeth! Thank you so much for another great video/analysis!
PS: an artist suggestion for another video (hope this don't get lost in the comments): Savatage; song: "when the crowds are gone": ruclips.net/video/mv82_BvKjw0/видео.html
Please ppl, reply this comment with more song suggestions (that you guys think may be more fitting to Elizabeth's analysis, like "the wake of magellan", maybe?)
hall of the mountain king!
Gutter ballet
You are so much fun to watch!
If you want more powermetal recomendations you should hear Fabio Lione duo with non other than Sir Christopher Lee its from the band Rhapsody of fire, the song name is The Magic of the Wizard's Dream. Also I highly recomend the song Fairy Tale from Shaman. I'm new to the channel but I didn't see you reacted to those songs, they are amazing singers.
"We got the Right" is another amazing Helloween's song
Do you mean "Power"?
@@NikkLiberos ahaha no, that's something else
Only 2 words : TI AMO!
Michael Kiske's voice is epic. One of the typical traits he has is pitch bending the end of his words.
The best version of Keeper Of The Seven Keys
A great song one of my favorites
Amo helloween amo essa música 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I'd forgotten how awesome this song is. This performance was on another level! Funny thing is, Kiske was not a fan of metal during his first stint in Helloween. Maybe he is now, but with him it's hard to tell. He IS a Christian, however, which must add to his passion for singing this song. :) God bless the man!
P. S. You should really listen to Yngwie Malmsteen's 'Don't Let It End', with Jeff Scott Soto on vocals. Yngwie's playing and songwriting were at their best, and JSS's vocals were unbelievable. Enjoy!
This Song is a Masterpeace 👌🏻 I love this Band since they released this Album. But in the early Nineties they kicked the best Lead Singer on Earth, Michael Kiske, for their new Singer Andi Deris (Former Leadsinger from Pink Cream 69). Now they are all united. Love this Band!
This song is amazing.
Wow... so beautiful!!
And here I was thinking I should suggest Helloween, after I saw your vid. on King Diamond. Hehehe, I should have known someone would suggest them. Very high voice he has, like King.
Michael Kiske is a case to study his voice hasn't aged at all, he sounds as good as in the 80's
you should give it a go at Manowar Bridge of Death live, Eric Adams is up there with Dio and Rob Halford
Elizabeth, if you listen to Lost Horizon - Think not Forever, you will never be the same. The best vocalist of this style, by far
You should really react to Michael Sweet with Stryper…. He can still do it after all these years… he’s amazing. Incredible tone and range… plus he’s the main songwriter and co lead guitar player… he’s incredible…
You may also like Tobias Sammet's Avantasia, The Metal Opera, where you can find a story going on, with several voices (including Kiske), to make the story go on...
You should analysis those .
Marc Storace - krokus
David coverdale -whitesnake

That guitar part reminds me of a Sega Mega Drive game where you run around as some kind of fencing hero...
great to see this video affected you so much.. i can tell the music really touched your soul
This type of reaction reminds me of video where classical trained composer played notes from some nightwish song and he was impressed and thenn he was told that it was a song from some Tuomas Holopainen and his metal band
