Ayreon is NOT a band, it is a project lead by Arjen Anthony Lucassen. He writes all the music, plays most of the instruments (bass, guitars, keys), devised the story / concept, casts all the singers and additional instrumentalists, records and produces the music. He is however most of the time NOT on stage and Ayreon also doesn’t tour but so far only has done residency shows in the Netherlands. In the case of the liveshows he works with a music director, which is Joost van Den Broek (who also plays keys on stage) who assembles the core band, fine tunes the arrangements, leads the rehearsals. In this process Arjen acts as overseeing producer. The first ever live show was Ayreon Universe (from which this video was taken) which was sort of a “greatest hits” show. Subsequently two other shows focused on performances of two complete albums plus some assorted tunes. I went to the Electric Castle gig (as it is by far my fave Ayreon) and they had a freaking metal castle on stage (plus the actor who played Q in Star Trek NG as narrator).
another banger from Ayreon Intergalatic Space Crusaders 💥
Why is everyone singing in this band? That is easy! Arjen is one of the few master composers on this Planet in metal and prog rock. He writes epic metal prog opera's for more than 30 years now. But he has no band. He invites the best instrumentalists he can find ( yes, Steve Vai too) and asks them to come and play in his next project. Same with the absolute worlds top of singers. They are genuinely honoured to be invited so they come. And absolutely enjoy to play for him, for themselves but just as important, to play with each other. No envy, no "me first". In the contrary. It is " together we are stronger by combining forces". That's what the ( nice and humble) Arjen does to them.
And so in the last live concert I saw 25 main singers on stage from bands you probably know and admire having a party together with these fan-tas-tic musicians. In the audience more then 60 nationalities from the world over. From Australia to South America travelling to the Netherlands just to witness this. No wonder his concerts are sold out in just five minutes. It's the "Mekka" for music lovers.
How many people, singers, talent, musicians? Arjen: Yes! What can go wrong with BVs like: Irene, Lisette and Marcela? 😂🤘
"Now she is teleporting into songs and sh*t" hehehe that is gold
The F-bomb drops at the end and floors everyone. As is customary.
Check out “Star of Sirrah”. Great song with a lot of the same people, but no F-bombs there… I assure you… Honest.😆
I concur
Time to chill out a bit with "Valley of the Queens"... ;-)
The cool thing about Ayreon is that all the albums sort of tie into the same story. 'The Source' (the album which this song is from) is technically the start of the story. It's about a race of humans that give control of their planet to a computer (the 'frame) to help solve an environmental catastrophe, but the computer determines that the best course of action is to eliminate the humans. Ten humans and the robot TH-1 escape the planet on the only interstellar ship they have (the 'Starblade') along with the ships crew and head to an ocean planet. The chemist creates a drug ('The Source', aka 'Liquid Eternity') that allows them to evolve into an 'aquatic race'. The drug also makes them basically immortal and allows them to communicate telepathically. The album ends with the survivors (ten plus the ships small crew) living on their new planet ('Planet Y') in relative peace, but in the final track we learn that TH-1 is becoming a new version of the 'frame deep in the ocean. The next album in the timeline, 01011001 ('Y') tells us how machines have now taken over this new planet, and the humans have basically merged with the machines are losing their emotions and sense of time. They now call themselves 'The Forever', since they are essentially ageless drones at this point. We also learn about how they seeded a comet with DNA and sent it to Earth, where it creates human life on our planet. The Forever believe they can live through us telepathically and that they may regain their emotions by doing so. Some of The Forever believe that we need to advance more quickly, and use their telepathy to give us medicine/technology, but this results in us advancing quicker than our morality can cope with. Eventually The Forever realize humanity is doomed and has to decide if they will give them the technology to reverse their past mistakes. Somewhere in the timeline sits the album 'The Electric Castle'From a summary by Arjen: "At the end of the journey those that successfully dealt with their personal demons find out that the voice belongs to an alien named 'Forever of the Stars', a member of an alien race living in a distant galaxy. These aliens created planet Earth and its people as an experiment so they could study, and hopefully one day experience emotions, as they themselves lost feelings eons ago." That's only three albums (less than half!) but I believe those three give you a solid foundation for how the story plays out. Also, I highly recommend any of the Electric Castle Live videos; They are just so fun to watch, plus John de Lancie ('Q' from Star Trek) plays the 'Forever of the Stars' character, which Arjen said he originally based on Q.
Keep in mind that these songs are like a metal prog Broadway musical. Each vocalist is playing a role in the story.
A song with Floor just popping out you say? 😎 You should DEFINITELY watch Ayreon Universe - Age of Shadows Live at Tilburg 2017. There's also someone else there that you know 😉
small detail: Irene Jansen is Floor's sister .... Irene is the background singer on the very left.
He knows
Lol, what's gonna happen when he reacts to the videos from Live Beneath the waves?
At least he'll get a it of a break... if you can call Britney 'a break'.
Nice reaction. I thought you were going to make it all the way thru without stopping.
But his face hit the Floor. (sorry, sorry... couldn't resist)
You're becoming a Ayreonaut in no time!
Arjen discovered Floor umpteen years ago, so to speak. Whenever Arjen asks and Floor has time, she will perform for him.
And again, this is not a band but a project. Arjen knows many artists and when he asks, they come.
True, Arjen first invited Floor to work on a project when she was around 20. She learned from him what real recording in a real studio means, so she has a lot to thank him for. Somehow he manages to be friends with everyone. Simone Simmons also once said that it was always pleasant to work with him
I am not sure if he can handle star of sirah or age of shadows. .
Wait til he gets to see the sixth extinction 😂.
And you still have a lot of Nightwish songs that you can listen to where Floor just goes through the roof - no pun intended lol You could check out "Stargazers" at Tampere, "Slaying The Dreamer", "The Kinslayer" in Buenos Aires or even the classic "I Want My Tears Back"!
The tall back up singer is Irene Jansen, Floor’s sister.🤘🎸
Loved your reaction to this. It is brilliant how Arjan get's everyone together and this, well the whole thing, it brilliant (there, I've said it again!)
Why is everyone in this band? Because Arjen is a musical genius, and everyone wants to work with him.
Next age of shadows. Same surprise
Welcome to the pure musical genius that is Ayreon.
Have you done any Unleash the Archers yet? Try Awakening, Soulbound or Ghosts in the Mist to add to your collection of kick ass female vocalists!
What wouldn't I give to have a copy of Arjen's contact list on his phone!! Floor is probably speed dial 1!
Because Ayreon is not a band 😂. It is the lifetime project of Arjen and he is able to unite all the stars to perform with and for him. Fantastic. He now wrote the solo debut album for Simone. Check out Simone Simons last two published songs. Typical Arjen smashed by Simone's vocals. Nuts!!!
"How many layers can you have in a song?" ummmm....YES.
Song is track 3 on the album, The Source. The Day That The World Breaks Down is the first track.
Check out "Star of Sirrah", "Intergallactic Space Crusaders", and "Valley of the Queens", all from this same Ayreon Universe show in 2017.
🤘🤘🤘
Ayreon - Valley of the Queens! (live)
It's not a band, it's a project.
You save the best for last. That is smart on Arjen's part.
It's prog-metal musical. It's not really a band as much as a project. This was a one-off show where they actually got a lot of people together for one glorious live performance
Where Floor was hiding? Behind her sister Irene who is just a bit taler than Floor. The woman who looks a bit like Floor on the left in the backing choir.
if only you knew the full extent of all the talent that you are seeing it would blow your mind
Very beautiful
By "I give up" you mean you're gonna watch the whole show?? AND the newest show they're releasing new videos of every other day?? =D
Star of Sirah from same concert is really good
It is hard to hide Floor she is a little over 6 feet tall.
If you enjoy this, try age of shadows or star of shirrah from the same show. Also merlin’s will, for a full Floor song
Ayreon's music is such a wonderful rabbit hole to fall down. I'd suggest a couple of tracks to try: 'Into the Black Hole' live from Ayreon Universe ( ruclips.net/video/LIvnxsb83No/видео.html ) and 'Intergalactic Space Cusaders, again a live track from Ayreon Universe ( ruclips.net/video/yO6TisCHGhA/видео.html ). Both are outstanding and you're sure to enjoy. If you feel you're ready, then there's always 'Isis and Osiris' ( ruclips.net/video/Z6YFbgMzkZY/видео.html ). Enjoy!
"This band", "this band", "this band"... it's NOT a band. Ayreon is a project. When it comes to the stage, it gets the artists (singers and musicians) that are available for the few days scheduled in Tilburg, Netherlands. Floor, and her sister Irene are early crewmembers of this project (and of another one called Star One) so they regularly attend and participate. You must step out of the regular music industry formating and understand Ayreon for what it really is.
Keep digging yourself in deeper and deeper..
what about Avantasia- Misplaced among the angels for a surprise-not surprise? lol
This is an opera. Only a modern twist. Not a play.
Its not a "band", its more like a rock opera project. Arjen is of course the mastermind who has the ideas and writes the songs and then tries to get all the right musicians for their parts.
You watched already "the day the world breaks down", and all his comments there should already made that clear. And for those life performances, this is also not a band that goes on tour all over the world, they only play some limited sets in the Netherlands and thats it. Touring with all those people would of course be impossible.
For example from 2019 to 2023 he did 6 concerts, 5 were in Tilburg Netherlands and 1 was in Germany.
One interesting question that just comes into my mind is however : how many time do they actually even have to practice for those concerts ? 🤔
🤟In this one Floor is not poppig up- you can see her the full 9.46 minutes!
ruclips.net/video/73-_F9prx4I/видео.htmlsi=fH4h4OeycVbHMO6C
For me it's the Gost love score of her band After Forever: Dreamflight
But when you're sensitiv take some tranquilizer before.
🤘😊🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
It makes me think of, if Kansas went metal.
Hi, my friends is out The Warning new official music video and it's banger music, lyrics and video!!! Please check it, you don't regret, i bet!!!! Six feet Deep. An answer to all the haters that still now and all along their artistic growing have tried to push them down also with threat of dead, you can believe it? What the matter with those beasts? How you can hate these cutie, clean and talented girls??? This answer is well deserved! WARNING: the video is out of this world, is mindblowing!!!
Answer to your question about why is everybody in this " band " - because Arjen Lucassen is a genius 🤷♂ - simples !
Now that you've seen one TINY part of a live performance perhaps you can understand why every time they have one ( 2015 / 17 / 18 / 19 / 23 ) they sell out within minutes .
