@@krickerd yeah it was too difficult, but since then he made huge progress, which I am really glad, because his voice is so raw yet charming, if you know what I mean. I just hope he doesn't forget about Gamma Ray
I tried many times, back when I was 17-20 years old, Master of Puppets song and required SO much practice and patience to do both things right, never nailed it completely. It's very hard.
@@krickerd kai back in 1986 moved to just guitar at the time because his voice got worn out and hurt from touring almost 2 years straight also at the time he was taking singing lessons which started around the time of the mini lp. As for micheal kiske he was not the first choice that was ralph sheepers But he turned helloween down at the time. So they approached micheal kiske who at first was also turning them down. And only finnaly agreed to join helloween at the last minute after kai had pretty much sung the whole keepers one album. And was pretty much mixed except for the lead guitars. Personally I am more of a kai fan for helloween and ralph sheepers fan.
This song sounds a bit musically like man on a mission from gamma rays land of the free mixed in with some old school stratovarius. But still sounds unique which is good. As for the kai comparisons musically Both Tommy and kai are a rare breed because both are good at singing and both are great lead and rhythm guitar players who can play a lot of different styles. Where most guitarists that sing typically only play rhythm guitar. Or if they ate great at guitar tend to just focus on one or the other. In a band.
As someone that can hit these notes and have some degree of confidence while singing power metal for refence let me just say it is an insane amount of work. I wouldn't say I practiced the hardest but I would push my self and train moderately, it took me about 5 years starting from knowing nothing about vocals to being where I am now. Granted my teachings have all been self taught, that 5 year span probably could had been halved with a good tutor.
He's gone down some octaves from the original recording. He can still sing brilliantly but it does annoy me at times when singers compose things that they can't do live like Metallica composing in standard tuning but then have to go down by a semi tone live or sabaton (seven pillars of wisdom) for example. Take nothing away from their talent. I just think that if you're gonna compose something that you know you can pull off live then make sure you're capable of doing it.
@@2000jago Yet, he chose to join Sabaton. A lot of people, like Oli364 and me, found his singing through Sabaton. I can't imagine Sabaton without the current members.
He is doing one hell of a fkn job singing that way and playing those particular riffs. You can be an extraordinary guitarist and on point, and as soon as you try to sing along too (let alone lead singer) either your hands or your voice/vocal performance go to sh!t and off time. You realize you have to practice more than most people care or have the patience to eventually do it right.
Standing alone in darkness away from light you cannot see No good times remembered, no eagles flying free Then your hear a voice in the distant light A light of gold and green A song of hope and melody that makes you so serene You count the rocks in your prison cell You see them in your dreams But hope of your return increases like a growing stream We have to fly together beyond the sky forever We have a short way to go when we fly away Where the light is shining bright Where it's never cold or night Above the sky to a land far away Where you're strong and never die Where the maidens never cry We have the key to paradise Start with a D then go to an F The C will lead to G three more times Then the verse is built before the chorus come This time the bridge is different from before Like something flying free Guitars playing fast and the bass as well With beats from the drum We have to fly together beyond the sky forever We have a short way to go when we fly away Where the light is shining bright Where it's never cold or night Above the sky to a land far away Where you're strong and never die Where the maidens never cry We have the key to paradise We have to fly together beyond the sky forever We have a short way to go when we fly away Where the light is shining bright Where it's never cold or night Above the sky to a land far away Where you're strong and never die Where the maidens never cry We have the key to paradise
I love the second verse. It sounds like something every musician writes as a place holder while you try to find real lyrics, but eventually give up and accept that its not that bad...
Oh wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 this song is awesome..then the guitar dancin back & forth into the bass solo then the drum solo. The composition, lyrics, Tommys Vocals ( totally Amazing) bandmates are Top Shelf❤
@Heart Attrack Assuming you mean at 2:03? The line "this time the bridge is different from before, and something flying free". He only says "this" for a bit longer than usual, and by the time he gets to the word "different", he's back on normal timing anyway. Sorted himself out very quickly to be fair :), And while playing guitar. Which is way better than some people who would be behind for the whole rest of the verse without realising/not know what to do about it.
Dude... No... That is a different level altogether, Tommy has a way to go to get up there. 😂 I still have yet to hear anything resembling hellfire club or Tolkki's stratovarius stuff by Tommy or Turilli's rhapsody days. When he does something even remotely close we can talk about it but so far, not even close.
Where's the rest of the 15.000 metalheads that should be attending? That basement holds about 42 people meaning the crew and some lost tourists. Majestica deserves a Wacken crowd!
Год назад+1
That bass in the beginning and the initial scream gives me goosebumps every time. Remember it from the Boden show. It is good on the recording but totally different live.
Yes!! Yes! I've been waiting for a live video since ATS's release! Great job, Tommy, Chris, Alex, Joel! Fantastic performance of a super complex song (and so good!!)!
Love these lyrics ❤ and the anthem- like melody.❤❤❤ I'm imagining medieval times- a prisoner locked up and he can only hope & dream of better times "where you are strong and never die, and the maidens never cry." Wonderful performance by the whole band and those amazing TJ vocals! ❤
This band is the best! Repect for the tommy johansson and his band! Really awesome indeed! I love it so much, where ever i go to, his music go's with me each day. For each emotion that you feel, his band/music makes me again and again happy. Enjoy it really much! ❤🥰💯👌🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Wish you and your band much off luck!! Thumbs up! 😁👉🏻🎸🎹🎤🎶❤💯🥰🤘🏻😁🍀

Tommy is Crazy man, singing at that level is hard enough, playing guitar at that level is hard enough, but both at the same time is just insane! The man is crazy talented and you can tell just loves the genre he is in, especially with how many more obscure projects he will lend his talents too.
It's not so easy to play the instrument and at the same time singing - this guy is totally awsome!
Which is why Kai Hanson moved over and got Michael Kiske to sing, back in the early Helloween days. That was a good choice.

In a band.
Majestica is candy for musicians. Everyone gets a chance to shine and all do it well.
Tommy is fantastic.... respect!
いつ来てたんだよー。逃した・・・。
コルピのときもだけど、世界的なアーティストでもメタルバンドだったら日本ではこぢんまりとしかできないよね。
その分間近で見られてありがたいけど。ほんと日本に来てくれてありがたい。
Everyone in Majestica is awesome. Tommy included. And the bass player is crazy good too.Great live video Tommy and all of Majestica.
The bass player (Chris David) is a very good singer too. Almost Tommy class!
Wonderful... Tommy forever....
このライブに行けなかったが、ライブの歌が聞けたのは感謝です。
How tommy reaches those notes is simply mind blowing.
There are a few great metal singers with that range lately. It's mind blowing.
As someone that can hit these notes and have some degree of confidence while singing power metal for refence let me just say it is an insane amount of work.

Takes me back to Steelheart! Tommy is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!
I am awestruck . I know what Tommy is doing isnt easy . And the whole band are in perfect unity
He is awesome!! For me the best and my first favorite one off all❤🥰😁💯👌🏼🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is real Rock'n Roll! Rock on Brothers!!!
Holy shit I came here from a sabaton video and got my world rocked. Not only is tommy a super good guitar player he also as a really great voice.
@@2000jago as a Sabaton fan, I whole heartly agree.
@@2000jago Yet, he chose to join Sabaton. A lot of people, like Oli364 and me, found his singing through Sabaton. I can't imagine Sabaton without the current members.
Yeah, if Maiden ever needed an emergency sub for Bruce…..
Happy Valentine's Day! ❤ Wish you and your band a beloved and awesome day! Cheers 😁🤘🏻💕🍻🫂🌹😉🍀
Tommy is something else. I wasn't even into modern power metal but something about his music and style got me into this easily ✊
He is doing one hell of a fkn job singing that way and playing those particular riffs.

Love the rawness of vocal
Томми лучший! Вокалист и инстументалист от Бога!
They deserve much bigger audience than this :(
what a guy... what a guy. And what a band as well
Standing alone in darkness away from light you cannot see
No good times remembered, no eagles flying free
Then your hear a voice in the distant light
A light of gold and green
A song of hope and melody that makes you so serene
You count the rocks in your prison cell
You see them in your dreams
But hope of your return increases like a growing stream
We have to fly together beyond the sky forever
We have a short way to go when we fly away
Where the light is shining bright
Where it's never cold or night
Above the sky to a land far away
Where you're strong and never die
Where the maidens never cry
We have the key to paradise
Start with a D then go to an F
The C will lead to G three more times
Then the verse is built before the chorus come
This time the bridge is different from before
Like something flying free
Guitars playing fast and the bass as well
With beats from the drum
We have to fly together beyond the sky forever
We have a short way to go when we fly away
Where the light is shining bright
Where it's never cold or night
Above the sky to a land far away
Where you're strong and never die
Where the maidens never cry
We have the key to paradise
We have to fly together beyond the sky forever
We have a short way to go when we fly away
Where the light is shining bright
Where it's never cold or night
Above the sky to a land far away
Where you're strong and never die
Where the maidens never cry
We have the key to paradise
beautiful voice 🎤, magnificent presentation 🔥🔥🔥
Wow that bass solo is sick !
Couldn't agree more. I kinda wish more metal bands would let their bass player play solos every now and then.
I went to university with the bassist. Super cool dude.
I love the second verse. It sounds like something every musician writes as a place holder while you try to find real lyrics, but eventually give up and accept that its not that bad...
Celá kapela je skvělá, všichni jsou super hudebníci.❤️
Absolutely nothing against Sabaton, but I wish Tommy would stick to Majestica. What an incredible band of talent.
You wished it. You got it! 😁
Oh wow 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 this song is awesome..then the guitar dancin back & forth into the bass solo then the drum solo. The composition, lyrics, Tommys Vocals ( totally Amazing) bandmates are Top Shelf❤
This is an amazing group of musicians! The skills... Wow!
I love that nobody is dragging tommy for missing the timing on the second verse. Its understandable and its not easy.

So it is possible for Tommy to play this song on only one guitar 😂😂
Awesome performance, can't wait to be able to see them live in December 🔥
same with Chris tbh xD
@@panzerelli true 😂
Just remember this is Joel's first concert I believe.
@@billiethegogoat69 ngl it was Joels first show with Majestica
True! December will be fun!
Almost like "Eagle Fly Free" for the 21st century. Great old school powermetal vibes.
The song is a homage to eagle fly free
Like someone else said: "it is Eagle fly free cranked up to 11"
"No eagles flying free..."
@@86smoke Absolutely! And I still stand by that statement! 😎🤘
Jess. I felt the same vibes. Made me all fuzzy and warm inside ☺
