@@jimthar17 hmm i thought that was kiske singing on that album? I cant really tell the difference between their voices. It seems like Kiske and Sheepers keep tagging along to whatever band Kai moves on to. first he was in Helloween, then Kiske was their singer after kai left, and when kiske was kicked out he joined Gamma Ray. Kinda weird.
Gamma Ray is one of the rare bands I've seen live that understands how to properly EQ the room. Lower the bass and up the mid and high frequencies=clean, loud, powerful sound. Lot of bands turn up the bass so high that it sounds muffled, mushy like shit.
I know I am way late, but I have just discovered these guys and I have been on a trip through RUclips watching every video I can find and learning about the band's history. Kai truly is a Metal God! I know in recent years his voice has shown some wear and tear, even so this man is simply amazing. Sure, lots of guys can get up there and sing with a hafway decent voice but Kai has mad skills on the guitar and his voice is so uniquely perfect. Another thing that I am enjoying about his performances is the fact that he is always sooo Happy. In front of a huge crowd is definitely where this man was meant to be. Love you, Kai!!!
Wow, you recognize the years of experience. Gamma Ray is one of the first bands that have influenced me since 1989 and impressed. And now I am still learning about new songs, great, thank you for your music.
man, 2003 was a great year for the Rays. they released that awesome 2 CD live album, "Skeletons In The Closet". Helloween (which i´m also a big fan of) was not facing a good time in their history, though (rabbits don´t come easy...)
+MrDR7no I have always thought of it like that, but with Running Wild instead of Stratovarius; they are as old as Helloween and Blind Guardian and also began with a "speed metal" sound which later developed into power metal (and they are also German). Don't misunderstand me, I love Stratovarius, but they began a little later and used keyboards, which earlier bands didn't use (at least not as a permanent instrument). Anyway, just my opinion.
Abelardo Elizondo Exactly because of their extensive use of Keyboards Stratovarius are a lot more influential on the european power metal movement than Running Wild or say Rage.Running Wild's early sound was more reminiscent of American speed metal bands which were already around since early 80s
this guys are the best metal music I have heard in a long time as metal music in Canada is died right now so I am glad they put there music here for the world to enjoy :)
Έχω ακούσει για αξεπέραστα λαηβ στο Ροδον στα 90'ς απ τον κοντό. Στο σανίδι γινόταν γίγαντας . Ήμουν πολύ μικρός τότε, τυχεροί όσοι είδατε αυτή την προσωπικότητα στο peak του συνθετικά & φωνητικά . Παικτικά ακόμα φανταστικός είναι . Ανατριχιαστικός βασικά. Οι καλύτερες συναυλίες που έχω δει είναι ισοπαλία, Pumpkins United 2017 Σόφια = Iron Maiden Αθήνα 2018 . Μέγας είσαι Kai
This One is for sure One of The best metal performance of all time.
10/10 🔥
I totally agree!
True. This is pure metal essence
That's hell fucking true!!! I've seen them live in 2003 ! Amazing show!!
Kai sounds AWESOME on vocals here. The whole band nailing this one totally.
Dan Zimmermann is a machine! so perfect, so clean! his drums are awesome..
👏👏🇷🇴🇷🇴
So clean sounding for being live. Awesome stuff.
Roberto Facchiano still by far the best version you can find.
Kai Hansen is a fucking metal God !!! enough said .
No doubt brother!
MetalThunderForce couldn't agree more Brother of meeeeeeettttaaaaaaaalllllll ! German brilliance
Hands down THE best version of this song.
Andrew James This still easily holds up today. There's a couple new versions here on YT but they don't come close.
Blast from the Past version(this one) is the best version 😃
Skeleton in the closet (Barcelona 2003) is the best version imo...Kai perform all the songs better than studio version that time 🤘
One of Kai's best live performances!!
One of the best metal bands on the stage
This is the ultimate definition of Heavy Metal. Nothing more to explain.....
Tudo drogado e maluco, certo.
Its power
Its power metal
Its power metal
@@thechaseisbetterthanthecat68 Power Metal IS Heavy Metal!
Love Kai version. What a fucking sound.... Fucking hell. One of the best performances if not the best...
Who's controlling all the misery and pain?
When the error signs are lighted in the Master Hall
And from the start, the action is in vain
'Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall
We crawl up to the skies
We'll never return again....
We're the last before the storm
Watching the sun going down on us
We wish we had never been born
To be the last before the storm
Who's ever gonna change the world?
I don't understand what we are fighting for
The truth is sad; no lying, we are cursed
I don't really know who ever made the law
We cry out for more
We wonder what's next to the world
We settle the score
We never look back....
We're the last before the storm....
Cry out for the people who don't know the world
They don't understand what they say, and they're cursed
Lying for reasons in search for the truth
Mephisto-we comin' down
We cry out for more....
You're welcome
I like Kai's voice on this one better than Scheepers, just my opinion. And this sounds amazing live!!! Awesome performance 10/10!
I always thought Scheepers was better in Primal Fear. Not a big fan of his GR albums, with the exception of Insanity and Genius.
NebulahHD I agree but I still miss shceepers. songs like No return and the silence are just suited to him
@@jimthar17 hmm i thought that was kiske singing on that album? I cant really tell the difference between their voices.

Kai has a realy unique voice....
@@peakxv2246 Kiske never joined GR, but he has recorded songs and sang on songs live.
Dirk and that Lemmy's vibe are mindblowing. What a cool guy and band 🤘🏻...
Probably best concert they ever did. Freakin amazing and the singing is the best i've ever heard Kai do, just pure perfection!!
Great live performance of one of the best bands in the galaxy. 🤘😎
Gamma Ray is one of the fucking greatest bands of all time. I can't stress enough how amazing these guys are!!
Gamma Ray is one of the rare bands I've seen live that understands how to properly EQ the room. Lower the bass and up the mid and high frequencies=clean, loud, powerful sound. Lot of bands turn up the bass so high that it sounds muffled, mushy like shit.
He has such unique vocals, love it
The best version of this song!
Kai leaving Helloween and joining to Gamma ray was the best thing ever happened to power metal!
XRISTOSUNIT founding to Gamma Ray pls...
Alper Şahin Merci.

Sandi. Better late than never. Obviously, if you like Gamma Ray, you have great taste in metal!
David, why thank you. I LOVE Gamma Ray!!
Tudo drogado e maluco, certo.
My first favourite metal band ever!!!!! new world order converted me to them.. happy to know other people share the same experiences..!!!

Flawless live perform. Genius song
Wow, you recognize the years of experience. Gamma Ray is one of the first bands that have influenced me since 1989 and impressed. And now I am still learning about new songs, great, thank you for your music.
Never seen a better live performance before and after that one. I'm glad I was there. I was 18 at the time, how time flies. Damn.
The Best Helloween singer ................
Definitely!!!
Michael kiske
The best till today
Perfection sharpness precision rhythm….. Mind blowing 😮💪💯
Gamma Ray får mej att må bra.Det ger en skön värme för mitt hjärta.I LOVE you!
One of the most magnificent pieces of live music I ever heard
Zlatan on the bassguitar ;)
Sandro Rey, Imo
No. Bassguitar on the Zlatan
the guitarbass is Dirk Schlächter
ne spur arroganz?
Kai Hansen you are the best. 🤠👍
what a wonderful performance... omfg
tat was a hell of a gig back then. i dare to say it was the best live performance i've ever seen from the rays.
Why is it in this German city, always a great vocals, almost all the bands, like on a record album! Is it mysticism !?Great Video!
Kai's voice is only
Long live to the Power Metal Father
🤗🎸
This is most excellent live. ROCK ON!!!!!!!
increible la potencia de Kai!
We the LAAAAAAAAST before the storm! Kai is the god of power metal...
Just a god !!! Kai is the god of metal none can reach him and he can perform with every band.......
voices aren't so good? are you joking? Kai is the BEST!!!
didnt said that broo
Lol...I see that. It must have been the voices in my head. Pardon me!!
Giorgos Top haha! I see now that it was the voices and I agree. He's a god!
The crowd didn't know they were born, so lucky to get such a treat. Perfect performance of a perfect power metal track.
Nα σε εχει καλα ο Θεος ρε Kai Hansen !!
Man, I heard this version before hearing the studio one, and I was somewhat disapointed when I heard the studio version haha
This is a phenomenal performance.
Studio-level performance! Excellent!
Best power metal band with Rhapsody and Helloween!
A sensational music, a formidable band ... I hope to return to contend with the same power of old.
I am speechless, words cannot describe this!
Best power metal song. Period.
Perfect tempo. Perfect performance. 100/100
My favorite with lake of tears...and so many more !!
Kai is so unbelievable amazing!
I really like this band, from the Arang group of friends. The musical style is total. Simple💪💪💪
É incrível como o Kai consegue gerar uma energia sobressalente nessa música, tornando-a ainda melhor e nostálgica.
Damn does that intro ever sound like "painkiller" by judas priest. Amazing song.
The BEST version
Uno dei pezzi trash metal piu belli degli ultimi 20 anni....
No trash ma Speed metal
Kai is the God of Gods among Gods... Unique
la voz de kai es caracteristica ... tiene un toque distinto de las demas... brutal..!
Absolument fabuleux !!!
This really is balls to the wall heavy fucking metal. Amazing performance.
OMG, the voice at 4:03!! Love Kai so much! \m/
1:44
@@Angel-ji6ih perfection!
@@skathi7575 power
Favourite part
"How fast should we play it, Dan?"
Dan: "Yes."
Kai is one of the great musicians in the world
I miss these four guys - "The Awesome Foursome"
Команда супер! Кай король!
True,Kai is a god but i think the members of the band are also gods
maybe the voice are not so good but they play very good the instruments
Dragos Leiden when the bass player comes out I can hardly see his fingers they're moving so fast
Loves Kai’s hair …so much younger back then
The First metal song I've ever heard... That put me into metal.... I LOVE IT SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!!! HAIL TO GREECE!
such a fucking awesome performance
una de las mejores bandas sin duda!!
Euch kenne ich auch schon lange und ich habe auch eine CD von euch ihr seit klasse und eure Musik gefällt mir sehr gut Dankeschön 😊 🤘 😊 ❤❤
the best line up. but i missed ralph here...long live gammaray
Gamma Ray in its best form ever
Brutal!!!!
That solo rocked!! \m/ 3:04
Quest Kai is a master !
Henjo ! He doesn't get the credit he deserves... Kai's solo is awesome too.
another masterpiece from the father of power metal,the best of the best Kai Hansen
Henjo freaking shreds his ass off that riff!!! MAN!!!
You are coming to Greece!Great men!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kai....es de los mejores...me encanta su voz y verle en el escenario..
This is the most "evil" incarnation of Kai Hansen I've ever seen... and man I'm loving every second of it!
The dual solo makes me ridiculously happy
One of the best Kai Hansen vocal performances in Gamma Ray 🤘
This is as wild as a pulsar eating its F-class companion and emitting, fuckin' yes, gamma rays.
This is the peak of heavy metal.
my first w.o.a koncert been there ever since
part of the big four of power metal right there XD
+Tgkjj other 3 are certainly helloween blind guardian and stratovarius
+MrDR7no I have always thought of it like that, but with Running Wild instead of Stratovarius; they are as old as Helloween and Blind Guardian and also began with a "speed metal" sound which later developed into power metal (and they are also German).

Abelardo Elizondo Exactly because of their extensive use of Keyboards Stratovarius are a lot more influential on the european power metal movement than Running Wild or say Rage.Running Wild's early sound was more reminiscent of American speed metal bands which were already around since early 80s
@@ElizondoAbelardo you could also include Rage and Grave Digger in this category
Wow....
I feel like Kai is one of those power metal vocalists you can immediately recognise. Awesome song to hear live
gamma ray is the best band that still playing these days
Its amazing how kai hansen can play that good and sing that good at the same time.
No se si soy yo pero escucho extraña esta canción pero a la vez genial
this guys are the best metal music I have heard in a long time as metal music in Canada is died right now so I am glad they put there music here for the world to enjoy :)
I think it's an acquired taste. I have a buddy who can't stand him, whereas I could listen to him all day. :)
awesome performance!!
We're last before the storm, watching the Sun going down on us!!
Kai at his absolute best
master of the heavy metal ... IDOL....thanks hansen, thanks gamma...the real metal iS maded by you.... this is music not shittt .THANKSSSSSSS !!!!!
Dirk is awesome
los vi en el 2015 y la voz de kai sigue siendo asombrosa...
