    There's much more to being a great guitar player than technique and speed. So for my money Arjen truly is one of the great guitarists, because he has the expressiveness, emotion and creativity that actually makes his playing worth listening to, as opposed to just technically impressive.

    • @IronGlint
      @IronGlint 8 лет назад +9

      +Nick Green Agree with this
      In fact, I think it is MORE important to focus on melody, sound quality, etc. I would say being fast or mastering techniques are secondary to the ability to create music.

    Still coming back to this in 2020. The passion that Arjen puts into his music is what makes it all the more unique. His guitar playing has already been carrying a very signature sound on its own over the years. 🤘🏼

    its one of the best guitar sounds i've ever heard on an album!! you are great!!!

  • @KillKyle712
    @KillKyle712 8 лет назад +6

    I like how you keep metal alive by playing modern themed space tracks. Really unique. You and Anneke are all I've been listening to for the past 6-7 months, this past month someone turned me on to Star One..and it's been great, I thought I'd never find anything like Ayreon again but I was wrong. Keep it up, Arjen....forever

    You may not be considered the best guitarist in the mainstream opinion, but in the eyes of people that know music and have had the opportunity to listen to any of your albums, they know you are one of the best musicians out there! Keep it up!

    • @transcendkira
      @transcendkira 9 лет назад +1

      Gabriel Cossette Actually, I've heard the best tip for mic placement, from many different audio engineers is to listen to the sound coming through the mics when you're placing them, or to experiment. A couple of centimeters WILL make all the difference. Obviously Arjen did this and found his preferred sound for the music.
      His use of 6 different inputs/tracks however is something new to me and frankly really cool.

  • @ronaldmoracastillo
    @ronaldmoracastillo 14 лет назад

    Greetings Arjen, I've always admired your work, for many out there, you set the standards (real high). Many guitar players spend so much time thinking on the guitar sound as the holy grail of heavy riff playing, it's very complicated to set the amps by serial, parallel or using the effects loops in and out as you do, it takes so much time (and $ as well) that many of us decide to stick to an amp and try to make the best we can with what we have...

  • @LKUElephant
    @LKUElephant 14 лет назад

    @ArjenALucassen HAHA! You are such a character. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks a lot!
    I've noticed though that the guitar tones I tend to prefer are from guys who use power tube distortion instead (to me, it's a more organic sound), but I like yours too.
    The first Star One album blew my mind, and I went crazy when I heard Star One would be releasing a second album! As I live in Singapore, no record stores carry metal CDs so my aunt is bringing me VoAMA from UK next week. Can't wait!

    The thing with Arjen Lucassen is that he really deserves to make a living on his music. I bought the first DVD-release with Star One and after having listened to this new album, I must say it is almost even better. Good albums deserve to be bought, Victims of the Modern Age is stunning! By the way, I am also a guitarist and I really like the sound on the new album!

    I had never heard of this band until I was surfing youtube for Blake's 7 music vids and came across a live concert video of Intergalactic Space Crusaders - the singers were practically channeling Blake and Avon! I googled for more info on the band, then watched some more youtube videos...I love the sound, I love the lyrics, I love every show/movie the songs are based on, (and the Liberator photo on the website) and just purchased the deluxe edition (2 CD) version of Space Metal (for Spaced Out)

    Arjen, for Guitar Rig you can dl the demo on Native Instruments website. It works as plugin but also standalone, so you can decide if it's worth 170 euro. But the best of the best in amp sim is the Fractal Axe Fx Ultra. 2.200 eur, rackable and kills the rest.

I also happen to be a singer, and honestly I don't want to die without being part of anything, no matter how small, that you create in the future. Could you please tell me where I can send you some samples of me singing? I'd deeply appretiate it. Thanks and I'll be waiting fo your new CD man! Rock on!

    One question, how do you transfer this massive sound to a live gig?! cause I believe all the great things you have done in studio would be impractical for a live situation!
    Can't wait for your new project with Anneke and hopefully for the next Ayreon album!
    You keep teasing us so much it's not fair!!!

    Hello, Mr. Arjen.
    First, give you thanks for that video so interesting and a good job.
    Second, a couple of questions.
    I'm been thinking about buying a preAmp and after my long searching I don't know which. I have heard very well of the PSA, but I like also the Rocktron Voodu Valve.
    Do you test the Rocktron ?. It's suitable for metal tones ?
    Greetings from Spain.

  • @EirikStenSyrdalen
    @EirikStenSyrdalen 13 лет назад

    @ArjenALucassen Sorry, i made myself rather difficult to understand... What i ment was: have you modified the cabinet with a new element, or is that the stock elements? The g12h (you indeed mentioneed this in the video - actually the reason for my question). I can't seem to find a 112 cabinet with these elements from laney :) Thanks for the answer so far by the way - much appreciated.
