Ayreon is a prog rock/metal opera project of Dutch musician Arjen Lucassen. He writes the songs and invites guest singers and musicians.
His albums tell a story. This is from the 2017 album, The Source. The story in this spans several records and is, chronologically, first.
The singers in this are:
James LaBrie (Dream Theater) as The Historian
Tommy Karevik (Kamelot, Seventh Wonder) as The Opposition Leader
Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried and Me) as The Chemist
Simone Simons (Epica) as The Counselor
Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind) as The Prophet
Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia) as The Captain
Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) as The Astronomer
Mike Mills (Toehider) as TH-1
Russell Allen (Symphony X) as The President
Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus) as The Diplomat
Floor Jansen (Nightwish, ex-After Forever, ex-ReVamp) as The Biologist.
Mostly a studio project, there have been a couple live shows put together. Videos for The Ayreon Universe show are on CZcams. Try Everybody Dies, The Star of Sirrah, Valley of the Queens, or Eye of Ra.
Check out the sequel, Everybody Dies, live version. Floor's sister, Irene, is one of the back up singers. Tobias Sammet has a recent duet with Floor called Misplaced Among the Angels.
I concur!!!
Misplaced Among the Angels gave me goosebumps.
Everybody Dies is amazing.
Star of Sirrah from Ayreon is awesome too!
Yes to all three songs!
Buckle up because we are going on a trip into the world of Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon, Ambeon, Star One, Guilt Machine, Gentle Storm, Stream of Passion) aka Ayreon Universe. (about 100 artists thick) ….. Enjoy the music!!
Wahoo. Have been waiting for this one 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
James LeBrie - Dream Theater (USA)
Tommy Karevik - Kamalot and Seventh Wonder (Sweden),
Tommy Rogers - Between The Buried And Me (USA),
Simone Simons - Epica (Holland),
Nils K. Rue - Pagan's Mind (Norway),
Tobias Sammet - Avantasia, Edguy (Germany),
Hansi Kirsch - Blind Guardian (Germany),
Michael Mills - Toehider (Australian),
Russell Allen - Symphony X (USA),
Michael Erikson - Circus Maximus (Normay),
Floor Jansen - Nightwish (Finland/Holland),
Arjen Lucassen is the tall guitar/synth player. He composes all the work. Ayreon is his baby. He is from Holland.
Arjen Lucassen is one of a handful of the top-composers in the world - he is phenomenal!
He has been working with over 100 of the top of the top of singers and musicians from all over the world. He found Floor in 2000 and she has been on many of his musical projects - and Floor's little sister Irene has also been working with Arjen for several years. And Marko from Nightwish.
Russell Allen (The President with the dark glasses) are one of Floor's old friends, and they have done some great duets together like Phantom of the Opera and Sweet Curse - they are phenomenal together!!
The guy on the Grand Piano are another one of Floor's close musical friends, Joost Van den Broek. Back in the days, Floor and him worked together in After Forever and later on in ReVamp - those two were the main songwriters and composers. And recently Joost helped Floor on one of her songs on her channel during the pandemic.
Arjen's stories are partly driven by his fans, that gives him input to the ongoing stories - he is very active on the social medias, and sometimes comments on the reaction!!
Great reaction from you - again 👍 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘
Thanks Jynger❤
The pure joy on your face was worth the price of admission!
You've just opened a magic portal to at least 10 new dimensions!
The universe created by the genius Arjen Lucassen is the project AYREON!
Then there's the 9 other artists you were just introduced to...
You know Simone and Floor, the rest are all singular talents on their own.
Tobias Sammet has also developed a project, Avantasia, another brilliant creation.
Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian...
Russell Allen of Symphony X
Tommy Karevik of Kamelot
Michael Mills of Toehider (brilliant vocalist)
James Labrie of epic Dream Theater
...and newcomer Tommy Rogers
All HEADLINERS!!
Ten new rabbit holes!
Love, love, LOVE seeing you enjoy these amazing artists❤🎉
What's not to love! CHEERS🎉
Yesssssssss....finally! 🥰 Thanks for reacting to my suggestion. If you want to go down the rabbithole of Ayreon, try the live performance of "Everybody Dies". You will love it for sure! Greetings from The Netherlands, Martin
Definitely need some Intergalactic Space Crusaders!
I never heard of this band but I'll definitely check out more.
I concur!
@@seattanf2348 Not strictly a "Band", as Arjen invites loads of singers and musicians for each album, with a few regulars. You can see from this video, that some were doing it remotely. Steve Vai, Brittany Slayes and Floor were included recently.
Hi Jynger, that's amazing song and as you said talented musicians all over the world. Just great. How about one day Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars or Wintersun -Time. Have fun with music, see you.
To complete @Basil Keen's list.......
INSTRUMENTALISTS: Joost van den Broek (ex-After Forever) - grand piano and electric piano, Maaike Peterse (Kingfisher Sky) - cello, Ed Warby - (Gorefest) drums, Ben Mathot - violin, Jeroen Goossens (ex-Pater Moeskroen) - flute and wind instruments, Arjen Anthony Lucassen - electric and acoustic guitars, all other instruments
Your constant smile throughout says it all, Arjen always gathers together the very best musicians and singers which combined with his compositional talents can hardly fail to produce hugely impressive works which bridge the gap between Metal, Rock and Theatre.
Ayreon is awesome. Ayreon - Into The Black Hole feat. Bruce Dickinson (Official Lyric Video) is on Ayreons official page and is my favorite song by Ayreon. Even if you don't react to it I recommend giving it a listen, not many people react to it because it is only a lyric video so I understand that doesn't necessarily make great content. I just love that song. :-)
There is a great live video from 2003 with Damian Wilson singing the lead and Floor and Irene singing backup. czcams.com/video/oriR8CpI-Io/video.html. Also the live performance from Universe live with Tommy Karevik is quite lovely as well. czcams.com/video/LIvnxsb83No/video.html
Wow, I didn't realize this crowd hadn't sent you into Ayreon's rabbithole yet.
The music is SO incredibly written, arranged and produced, and the musicians are the best of the best.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it (and have room for a little prog in that spooky heart).
Patreons Rule the YT reaction world, so I expect that you'll take their suggestions first, BUT a lowly YT listener might suggest a few more Ayreon tunez, I'd def go Live from this point on.
Many folks will instantly aim you at Everybody Dies (live) and it is actually my favorite, but hey, gotta have a little build up before the ...
So
Twisted Coil (you get to meet Damien Wilson... cleans-meets-incredible power ... but good things take time)
Intergalactic Space Crusaders (some great campy, silly, rocky stuff... and you also get to meet Irene Jansen, Floor's suster)
OK OK "Everybody Dies" (the song that asks the musical question "How many singers can you cram on one stage?)
Eye of Ra - Answers the question asked, above (also Floor and Irene, together, plus a couple males who just get in the way, lol .. sorry, I grew up with 3 sisters...)
Anyway, enough stupid jokes.
Have fun with this music.
'Amazing flight" must be in there to get a feel of Arjens persona
Ok, now you have seen Tobias Sammet of Avantasia. You need to check out his collaboration with Floor Jansen for Avantasia's new album out in 21 October. Its called 'Misplaced among the Angels'. Avantasia is a project, just like Ayreon. I guarantee you'll like it a lot! Edit: check out the other songs already released from that upcoming album as well. Great songs that come with nice Tim Burtonish artwork!
The heavy kicks in, the eyes light up and giddy smile goes into killer mode!
So many rabbit holes!
Arjen is a musical genius!
love the fact the 2 women they used were best friends Floor of Nightwish and Simone of Epica and loved the fact they used Russell of Symphony X and Michael Eriksen of Circus Maximus also Blind Guardians Hansi and Kamelot and Seveth Wonder singer Tommy Karevik
Ayreon is amazing. Arjen brings together so many talented musicians for every single album. Definitely check out the bands of the people in this song you didn't recognize. They're all amazing and talented. Dream Theater is a must if you're not familiar. Same with Blind Guardian and Symphony X.
Beyond that, I recommend Between the Buried and Me, Toehider (I'm a huge Michael Mills fan and he's super talented), Kamelot, and Circus Maximus.
The video isn’t over yet for me but you have to check out Kamelot, Tommy Karevik’s band and start with Phantom Divine then Sacrimony. I hope you love them if you check them out.
Hi, Ayreonaut here!!!
Ayreon is a musical project by Dutch songwriter, singer, musician and record producer Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Ayreon's music is described as progressive rock, progressive metal and power metal sometimes combined with genres such as folk, electronica, experimental and classical music. The majority of Ayreon's albums are dubbed "rock operas" because the albums contain complex storylines featuring a host of characters, usually with each one being represented by a unique vocalist.
Each Ayreon album tells a different story, but all, with the exceptions of Actual Fantasy, The Theory of Everything, and Transitus, take place in the same fictional, science fiction universe; additionally, Lucassen's solo album Lost in the New Real is also set in the Ayreon universe. Ayreon's music is characterized by the use of traditional instruments in rock music mixed with instruments more native to folk and classical music. Lucassen writes the music and the lyrics, sings and plays most of the instruments on all of the Ayreon albums, alongside many guest musicians. His most regular collaborator is drummer Ed Warby.
The binary code means "Trust TH-1"
Progressive metal is a fusion between progressive rock and heavy metal. It is one of heavy metal's more complex genres, due to its use of unusual and dynamic time signatures, long compositions, complex compositional structures, and skilled instrumental playing, where instrumental solos are detailed and extended.
The singers in order of appearance are:
James LaBrie from "Dream Theater"
Tommy Karevik from "Kamelot", "Seventh Wonder"
Tommy Rogers from "Between the Buried and Me"
Simone Simons from the most epic "Epica"
Nils K. Rue from "Pagan's Mind" and "Eidolon"
Tobias Sammet from "Edguy" and here mentioned "Avantasia"
Hansi Kürsch from "Blind Guardian"
Mike Mills playing a computer program TH-1 and singing binary from "Toehider"
Russell Allen from "Symphony X"
Michael Eriksen from "Circus Maximus"
and last but not least the incredible Valkyrie Goddess Floor Jansen from "Nightwish"
PS: Floor and her sister Irene are pretty regular singers in "Ayreon" and "Star One" projects.
Here is a Starting point for Ayreon Universe (Live, best Of): czcams.com/video/hPcDLWsRX04/video.html
NWSU/Ayreonaut/Epican ✌😎🤘.
Wow! Thank you for all the wonderful info on this incredible group of musicians! I will definitely be checking out more since I had such a wonderful listening experience with this song :)
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece, Jynger! This was a lot of fun, but what's new?
Ayreon mastermind Arjen Anthony Lucassen just announced today that there will be 3 live shows on 15-16-17 September 2023 in Tilburg, NL. Because of the size of these productions it's very difficult to get all the participating artists together, so this only happens 1 weekend every 2-3 years. Something to look forward to!!
Wow that would be one hell of an experience!! If you go you will have to tell us all about it! Thank you and happy you enjoyed this reaction :) This band is something special and brought a lot of joy!
@@JyngerSlapz Tickets go on sale on 27 Oct, so 2 weeks from now I'll know if I'll be there.
Irene Jansen already posted something about it on Facebook, so I expect her to be participating again and I hope her big sis will be there too.
I am gonna hit those Ticketsales….it’s a 12 mile drive away from me..:)
it is time for Valley of the Queens from Ayreon...
I was ai the universe concert . Best concert ever 🤘🤘
To echo everybody else - now it's time for "Everybody Dies" - it's live and it's mind blowing!! It is actually the third song on the album, this being the first. An absolutely don't miss.
Tommy Karevik is the current lead singer of Kamelot, which is an American band that is probably far more widely known in Europe than America 🤣 They have had a couple of lead singers a bit like Nightwish both of whom are different but both of whom can flat out sing. They have a Nightwish connection as they often tour with female vocalists as they have a lot of duets etc and during the infamous incident in Seattle, Kamelot were touring with Nightwish and the two female singers ended up being the frontwoman (women really!) for Nightwish that evening in a rather unique show 😂
Every time you smile with your heart I get "man-sweat" in my eyes.... NOT TEARS !
Your joy gives me a warm feeling inside.
Thank you Amanda!
Much love to you and Ukraine
🌻🌻🌻💙💛💙
That makes me happy to hear that my smile can bring you joy! I am glad that you are enjoying the videos my friend :) Hope you are well
Could not have expressed our feelings any better!! We've enjoyed every reaction from you that we've watched. Arjen is the brilliant yet quirky mind behind the Ayreon projects; a creative genius.
@@ronjoanne5980 ❤️❤️❤️thank you very much!!😊
Remember, Arjen is also the mastermind behind Star One. Where all the songs are based on sci-fi movies. Brittany Slayes sings on the most recent release too!
For me it started with Nightwish which led me to Epica and then Ayreon now Arjen has led me to even more great talent and I'm very thankful for this journey. And thank you for your reaction.
Oh goodie.. Arjen Lucassen. Another rabbit hole. Good luck my dear 😀
You just heard the "cocky captain" in this song .
Have a look at Tobias Sammet's new release "Avantasia. Misplaced among the angels"
The Video is also right up your alley.
Take care 🤗
Thank you my friend! I may have to give that a looksie soon😊 take care!
They all killed it but floor they save the best for last good song love the back story too
Heyy, Jynger, thanks for your reaction to this Marvelous Ayreon song, nice reaction as always.
Yes check out the Ayreon movement as well, you going to like it, I saw Martin Kwaks suggets some songs, have fun love you take care.
Thank you my friend! Yes I am defintely going to be checking out more from Ayreon :) Take care and rock on!!
The Mike Mills part is the most amazing thing I have ever seen and heard a musician do.
"trust th1", TH = Toehider, his band.
For the Ayreon fans here who missed it (anyone?), a new concert has been announced. Check out his youtube channel for more info.
Another great reaction. Thank you.
Aussie proud 😀
In my humble opinion: The three top composers in symfonic metal and prog rock nowadays: Tuomas from Nightwish, Arjen from Ayreon, and Steven Wilson feom Porcupine Tree.
They nail it.
The Dutch again hit the target! Aereon is another long journey to discover.
So much talent here! All the related band have tons of great material!
If you're looking to do more Epica I'd try "Victims of Contingency"(Omega Alive). Good heavy track with catchy pretty chorus.
Floor and Russell🤘
Since you liked this then how about them live on stage doing there song "Everybody Dies" - czcams.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/video.html
I think you will like - ayreon/everybody dies - it is epic.
Congrats Jynger upon opening Arjen's Intergalactic Chest Of Wonders ;) Enjoy, and go LIVE from here on for a little while. Anything from the Ayreon Universe Live 2017 gig will do to get the bigger picture & enjoy the insane on stage chemistry. After that, the Electric Castle 2019 concert and on & on.. This rabbithole is really massive & more attractive than a black hole. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘
I am looking forward to it! 😊🤘🏻
If I ever feel that all modern music is shit and not what it used to be, I listen to this track to remind myself how much awesome talent is out there. Check the live performances from his project for even more epicness.
Modern day mainstream radio is very talented in broadcasting absolute bullshit. You will never here epic stuff like this. So we have to cherry pick ourselves. Thank God there are still musicians like these boys and girls still around. They save humanity 😅
The whole album The Source is dynamite! This is the start of a scifi prog rock opera that spans multiple albums. Composed, produced and the collaborations organised by Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Apart from the first 3 roles, he also playes all the guitar parts and synth sounds! As he has to this day published 29 albums, you understand thst this is a deep rabbit hole. Among these albums also a few of the very rare live shows. Great stuff! You should react to Ayreon Universe live Everybody Dies. I hope you continue the Ayreon journey.
I am looking forward to more Ayreon 😊🤘🏻
Michael Mills! Aussie Aussie Aussie! Toehider? how do you hide toes?...Kick A$$ really hard!
“NWOBHM” New Wave Of British Heavy Metal
I recommend next
Ayreon - Everybody Dies (live)
czcams.com/video/9AAXtUdM7xE/video.html
Queen meets War of the World? !
Lovely reaction once again - I could suggest a number of songs from those different artists but I'll just start with the first singer in the song who Brough Arjen to tears, namely Tommy Karevik who's the front man of the band 'Kamelot' (symphonic metal) - amongst others, they have a song called 'Sacrimony' which I heartily recommend - there is a live performance video aswell as a music video - this song had 2 guest singers - Allissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy) and Elize Ryd (Amaranthe) who incidentally I saw live in London a couple of nights ago. So hopefully you'll be able to check Tommy and Kamelot out and also the superb front ladies of Arch Enemy and Amaranthe. I do apologise - I go on a bit - but you know that by now 😆 As always, take very good care of yourself 😃
Mme. Slapz J; very good ! Ayreon is sort of the English phonetic of Arjen when you change that J into a Y as you know, Arjen "discovered" Floor incidentally, she speaks of it here:
czcams.com/video/HAki7YoICvY/video.html
Arjen is a sci-fi fantasy nut, you will find it running through all his music and I have no doubt you are just about to dive into that rabbit hole.
Michael Mills is singing in extended ASCII as the voice of the evil computer TH-1 (TH ? Toehider !) and it says "Trust TH 1".
I'm disappointed we only saw your kitty-cat's tail, I do like cats. . . . . . . !!
Enjoy the ride !!
What a wonderful work, right, Jynger? Every time I listen to it, I discover new things. Arjen Lucassen is a talented musician and an endless source of luxury projects. I highly recommend it.
Your smile is so warm. Your eyes are full with joy. Still hope some day We can have a coffee.
Thank you very much for the kind words :) Maybe a coffee during the live stream :) Everyone grab a cup and we can all have coffee together and enjoy some great music! Take care
If you will pardon the expression, This particular epic is truly a "Mind Fuck". Personally the music blows me away, but Arjen as a composer, is phenomenal. You have to do "Everybody Dies" next though. Keep doing stuff like this, and I'll keep listening. Not a huge fan of the death decor, but that's your thing, not mine.
Nice ;) Catch up Hansi Kürsch and Blind Guardian! Still the most epic moment in Metal music > "The Bard's song and Valhalla" Wacken 2016. Trust me.
🤗🍒🤘🏻😘
If you look closely you can say that Tommy Karevik sings with his hands in this video...
Opera Moderna..Fantastica
Day Sixteen Loser or Intergalactic Space Crusaders , Everybody Dies of course live but you are going down a worm hole! No bad songs or performances Arjen Lucassan is another genius! Rock On Stay Safe!🙏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I am looking forward to another “hole” to go down! There might be a joke there…. That’s what she said? Anyways, thanks for the suggestions as I will be checking out more from Ayreon! Rock on my friend!
Ayreon Live in 2023 - 01011001 Live Beneath the Waves just 3 shows so it will be the blu-ray bud i can't wait

Hi great response, there is more music project togo great Dutch composer Ayreon highly recommended and it's very tall, a head taller than Floor
Hello us beautiful people. And may 8 say you look very beautiful as well. Love especially your choice of hair color. That blue suits you well. And like your pretty eyes too. So you should check Ayreons live performances. In latest ones had Floor, Floor's sister and Marco in that huge line-up of talent.
Thank you so much 🤗

Hi,
Beware, this kind of music will turn you into a metalhead ( if you weren't already ).
Next?
Fleshgod Apocalypse: Epilogue.
This is not prog metal but symphonic extreme metal.
Never quite found a way to like them, super talented obviously, but a bit too prog-esque for me, I do try but my interest wanes very quickly. Very odd
