Thomas Youngblood (the lead Guitarist) is from Tampa Bay, Florida, as well as most of the band. Roy Khan (the singer) is from Norway. The band itself is American Power metal with European influences. Glad you guys like it!! They are one of my favourite bands!! :)
What makes Kamelot stand out is their amazing lyrics and vocals. Symphonic Metal is mostly dominated by female lead singers, which is great don’t get me wrong, but it’s so uncommon for male leads to sing in the same style that it’s just amazing sounding when it happens.
Not to take anything away from Tommy - he’s been phenomenal since joining after Roy left... but the prime... the PEAK of Kamelot was with Roy. Khan has one of the most beautiful and epic voices in all of metal. This entire DVD was NUTS by the way. If you guys enjoyed this song, please take a moment, reaction or not, to listen to the rest. “Elizabeth 1/2/3” is a masterpiece.
Never heard of these guys in my life, but based on this, I like it. Guess I have to hear more. Either way, love that you guys are opening up all of this off-kilter stuff. Based on just this one song, it could go either way. You can clearly hear the 80s rock ( which I mostly hated) sounds like these guys may be pretty solid. Peace out and keep killing this shit! Always looking for rappers to react. 😉
Roy kahn is the original singer from Kamelot, but he quit the band and his replacement is Tommy Karrevic. You heard Tommy sing in Sacremony. Both singers are awesome! Seen both live many times and I have no favorite. Love them both. The drummer is Casey Grillo. He quit the band as well and is replaced by Alex Landenberg. Both nail the drums quite well! The keyboard player is Oliver Palotai. Still a member of the band and husband to Simone Simmons from Epica. On the guitar is the founder of the band...Thomas Youngblood. He is the mastermind behind the band. And on the base...there we have Sean Tibbets. He bounces around the stage without getting tired. If you ever have the chance to see them live I really would recommend it. Seen them live 15 times now and they are the reason I started listening to metal. My alltime favorite band (together with Nightwish)
@@tessatiemessen89 The bass player in this video was Glenn Barry, in 2009 he left the band and was replaced by Sean Tibbets, who was familiar with the band because he had been the bass player before Glenn Barry.
Kamelot + Roy = forces of nature!! all of their songs are brilliant so suggestions are a lot; but if you dogged this one, check out "Karma - live" with Roy.
Anymore suggestions from Kamelot? Yes, The Haunting, Also, if you're interested in more power metal/power metal-ish stuff, 'Learning to Fly' by Stratovarius and 'Sacred' by Blind Guardian.
Kamelot is such a fantastic band. They have so many amazing songs that I don't even know where to start when it comes to suggestions. So I'm just going to give my favorite song when Roy fronted the band and my favorite with Tommy fronting the band; March of Mephisto (Roy) and Citizen Zero (Tommy). And if you're looking for something new to check out, I'm going to suggest Iconoclast by Symphony X or This Godless Endeavor by Nevermore. As always, this was a great video and I enjoyed watching it. I hope you both have a wonderful day!
Kamelot is a Power Metal Band from Tampa, Florida..Formed by Thomas Youngblood ... The singer in the forever video is Norwegian singer Roy Khan .. The new vocalist is Swedish singer Tommy Karevik ... The keyboard player Oliver Palotai is married to Simone Simons of Epica... Epica takes there name from a Kamelot album..Tommy Karevik is married to Kobra Paige from Kobra and the Lotus ... a lot of the Symphonic and Power Metal bands are connected in some way either by marriage, Long friendships, even being a past member of a certain band ...
Maiden are the godfathers of the Euro-style power metal, so there is much overlap in fans and style, with that signature element of the vocal melody baked into the instrumentals, allowing the crowd anywhere to sing along without knowing the words or the language. Forever is verrrrry prototypical of the genre, as you noted, despite its US roots... although sampling the classical Edward Grieg melody is very hip-hop... metal too, for that matter )))) If you liked the style and energy, you'll probably enjoy Hallelujah by Beyond the Black
March of mephisto - with the video It is a song part of the concept album The Black Halo based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, part 2. The album Epica is based on Faust part 1. The lyrics may be in latin, italian and english. Faust was released in 1808. Johann (1749 - 1832) was a poet, writer, scientist and a very important figure in the history of europian literature
You guys are really awesome... new fan of yours here... I'm actually a metalhead but love watching your reaction on rock/metal videos. I would like to suggest an old Nu Metal/Funk Metal songs in the 90's like "Pardon Me" or "A Certain Shade of Green" by Incubus. More power to you guys
The band is from Tampa🤔...Idk when this video is from,but up till 2011 the vocalist was Norwegian😁👏...however the vocalist thats in the band now is swedish...so yeah...there IS definitely an accent😂😅
You need to check out Roy's former band Conception which not long ago reformed and put out a great cd this year. I would suggest an older song, live version of Roll the Fire. This Kamelot drummer Casey Grillo is now the drummer for Queensryche. I saw Kamelot several times with this line up and also Roy's other band Conception. Both killer live bands!
Oh, Conception's "Roll the Fire" from 1993 in Germany, it's such a Masterpiece! Also "Parallel Minds" from that same concert... I wasn't even born by that time but I wish I could have been there.
I remember I didnt like Kamelot the first time I heard them. Thought the singing was a bit meh. But then one day I hear The Black Halo and was mesmerized. One of my favorite power metal bands.
This is my favorite band of all time! You gotta see them live after COVID-19. They are mind blowing! Please review Vespertine (My Crimson Bride) or The Proud and The Broken. Awesome reaction 🙌
While this is the first song that I ever heard from Kamelot and it's what made me a big fan, it's by far one of the songs that doesn't really showcase roy khan (the vocalist on this song) at all, vocals wise this is one is pretty simple compared to something like Elizabeth. Roy Khan is super talented and a lot of people say/think that the rest of the band held him back and that's why the band isn't as big or as well known as it could be. That said I've had kamelot in my lists for the last 15 years or so.
Not sure if y’all have seen this yet but I think it’d be cool to see your reaction to Denzel curry’s cover of Bulls on Parade. One of the best covers of a rock/metal song that I’ve ever listened to by far
Great reaction guys! I would like to recommend Sleep Token - Dark Signs. I can’t actually describe their genre. A little bit of progressive and it has an awesome singer. The band is kind of a mystery.
Been on a Kamelot kick again and I can't stop singing 'Karma'. You guys should check it out if you liked this one. And FYI, if you see an unfamiliar face doing Kamelot reactions, they got another singer to replace Roy after he left. He's a great vocalist, and you might dig it, but it's too similar to Roy without the character and grit in the vocals (like every other Power/Symphonic Metal vocalist). Nothing against the other guy, but he just doesn't do it for me. That character/grit, and range, together with the amazing instrumentation just make Kamelot. I could mistake them for almost any other Power Metal band without that voice. Great instrumentalists are pretty common in the genre, but I will say Youngblood (guitarist) really stands out, as well.
KAMELOT!!!!! 🤘🏼🖤🖤🖤 So this is off of a DVD, it’s rare and maybe a little pricy. If y’all want to do like a watch show of it all I’d be happy to provide!
Wanna hear the only Metal band that made the Montreal's Jazz Festival? This is Voivod, with a special "Stanley Kubrick style" version of the song "The End Of Dormancy": czcams.com/video/QN23sROGbqo/video.html
My last time suggesting dudes you are really missing out on some the best Thrash ever. "Exodus", Iconoclasm, Funeral Hymn, Children of a Worthless God, or The Sun is My Destroyer. Pure adrenaline. You say you get reaction suggestions from these comments, prove it. PLEASE!
Lol. I will say what I want. I must confess I have grown to love it more then gataroade I think it takes a connoisseur ( yes I googled the spelling ) of pedialyte to recognize the bottle when you see it. Lol.
Side bar. Up until now I was toatally a fan of you guys finding tool and just really jumping into it. Smokey more then Hollywood. ( funny how that works. Lol. Wink wink ). But now that you got the pedialyte in the game. I got no reason to ever thumbs down a video.( and baby metal too. Love them. Yes this is what I wrote in my edit ) . Which actually might be a bad thing. And yes worse then my spelling.
Thomas Youngblood (the lead Guitarist) is from Tampa Bay, Florida, as well as most of the band. Roy Khan (the singer) is from Norway. The band itself is American Power metal with European influences. Glad you guys like it!! They are one of my favourite bands!! :)
For those that love Roy, he sings with Conception (his old band) now. If you miss his voice, like I do, given them a listen ;)
What makes Kamelot stand out is their amazing lyrics and vocals.
Symphonic Metal is mostly dominated by female lead singers, which is great don’t get me wrong, but it’s so uncommon for male leads to sing in the same style that it’s just amazing sounding when it happens.
67 years old bad ass guitar player from way back here. Love this stuff and yes the vocals are awesome. The lyrics are deep!
Symphonic Metal? lol
@@mindtraveller100 Dude Forever is literally directly inspired by a classical music.
Can't agree more!

Roy Khan isn't the original vocalist, he joined Kamelot on Siege Perilous.

Check out Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down. 11 singers from different bands, a lot of them you covered.

Oh wow, dude we gotta do some incubus. Thanks for joining us on journey into such amazing music
Sweet I ❤️ Incubus but not everybody does 🙄 I met them too, super nice guys!
This reaction made my entire year
A musical delight is “How Many Tears” from Helloween’s live performance at Wacken in 2018, some great on-stage chemistry and masterful musicianship
The guitarist is fire. Happy last Sunday of 2020 Trash Talking Tribe.
I saw Kamelot live a few years ago, they are a really professional outfit onstage.
Kamelot is probably maaaaybe my favorite Power Metal band, very close to Blind Guardian, who maybe just barely edges them out for the top spot!
People! You are real proof that good music knows no boundaries. Greetings from Serbia, Europe!
The band is from Tampa🤔...Idk when this video is from,but up till 2011 the vocalist was Norwegian😁👏...however the vocalist thats in the band now is swedish...so yeah...there IS definitely an accent😂😅
Roy Khan has the coolest voice. Check out Elizabeth Parts 1, 2 and 3 live.
The best metal singers come from North Europe, and this is no exception. 😊
Finaly some kamelot 😍
You have to react to Elizabeth by Kamelot or any song from the album Black Halo (their masterpiece). Good bye guys, Happy Holydays!!!
The greatest band of all time.
Hope you guys had a nice Holiday 👍🏻
The band started in Tampa Florida!
More old Kamelot please, with Roy Khan the best singer!! You can react to center of the universe, karma, Elizabeth, memento mori and so many others
The whole concert this came from is on dvd. You want to witness greatness......watch the whole thing.
You need to check out Roy's former band Conception which not long ago reformed and put out a great cd this year. I would suggest an older song, live version of Roll the Fire. This Kamelot drummer Casey Grillo is now the drummer for Queensryche. I saw Kamelot several times with this line up and also Roy's other band Conception. Both killer live bands!

Roy Khan still my favorite singer for Kamelot.
King Khan!!! Geoff Tate was always my favorite singer, until I heard Roy Khan. Tate still great, but Khan just brings such intensity.
March of mephisto by Kamelot!
l has this concert on dvd and imported the cd to my itunes library
I always love your reactions you guys always end up jamming
I remember I didnt like Kamelot the first time I heard them. Thought the singing was a bit meh. But then one day I hear The Black Halo and was mesmerized. One of my favorite power metal bands.
This is my favorite band of all time! You gotta see them live after COVID-19. They are mind blowing!
Please review Vespertine (My Crimson Bride) or The Proud and The Broken. Awesome reaction 🙌
Let's hear some therion son of the staves of time

🦋 3:25 👌😄Falkor! 😏Great Song Reaction! 😉
Not sure if y’all have seen this yet but I think it’d be cool to see your reaction to Denzel curry’s cover of Bulls on Parade. One of the best covers of a rock/metal song that I’ve ever listened to by far
Muy bonito cover! Felicidades! 💜
Another good one is from kamelot is Elizabeth I, II, III live on that same show.
Great reaction guys! I would like to recommend Sleep Token - Dark Signs. I can’t actually describe their genre. A little bit of progressive and it has an awesome singer. The band is kind of a mystery.
One of the best bands ever🤘🤘🤘
KAMELOT LOST AND DAMNED!
That is one of my altime favourite Kamelot songs and so underrated!
Every time you guys ask what should we react to next. Rush Rush Rush Rush Rush please the spirit of radio or natural science please please 🙏
Kamelot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 yeahhhh....
Yes more Kamelot reactions..Some song suggestions-Ravenlight, Mindfall, Phantom Divine, Liar Liar... You won’t be disappointed.
Been on a Kamelot kick again and I can't stop singing 'Karma'. You guys should check it out if you liked this one.

RUSH THURSDAYS!!!
One of the few songs where I think the live version is superior to the studio version.
You guys need to react to Crystal Lake APOLLO. They are a Japanese heavy metal band
React SEPULTURA - DEAD EMBRYONIC CELLS!!!
I don't think you guys have experienced Mastodon yet. They are Tool level musicians.The song The Last Baron will blow you away.
Strange machine von gathering
Listen Karma in this concert
