I knew what was coming and was waiting for the reaction.. We got it... Priceless! Floor's sister Irene also sings with the band and many other talented singers and musicians. Some you will know too..

    You should definitely continue with Ayreon
    I listen to metal for like 25 years and I am ashamed that until like month ago I never heard of Arjen. Since I listen this song those roughly 4 weeks ago I have become a huge fan of Ayreon. I have listened to first 4 albums already and oh man, what a masterpieces. I don't know which one is better. I watched Electric Castle live as well and I am not affraid to compare Arjen's work to Andrew Loyd etc stuff. Its a theater, opera, music with metal. Amazing
    And the best thing is, Arjen is just teasing new album :D

    • @Leishtek
      @Leishtek Před 4 lety +1

      In my opinion, Ayreon is the champion of two very distinct titles. The first is the most brilliantly composed and executed Electric Castle. And the second is the genius concept and lyrics of Human Equation. All of their albums are good, but those two are legend status IMO.

    Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden contacted HIM and asked if he could work with him on one of his older albums.

    Hey man, thanks for reacting to this.
    If you want to continue this Ayreon journey, here is some additional info.
    Ayreon (first album 1995) is just one of Arjen Anthony Lucassen's projects. Beside this main project he has some smaller ones: Star one, Stream of passion, Ambeon, Guilt Machine, Gentle Storm and some solo stuff.
    In most project science fiction story telling plays a big part.
    As you can imagine, with over 75 diverent singers (with most in there own bands)its hard to get them together.
    (beside the point that he is a social recluse and has severe stage fright). But there have been 4 big events (and some smaller ones)
    Below I will make follow up post explaining the diverent shows and the songs available.

    Ayreon for me, is the central hub of almost all of the music I like. I bought one of his records as I knew that Simone was on it, and that way I learned about heaps of other singers, which led me to their bands. Now please react to the following:
    - The Valley of the Queens (Ayreon, from the Ayreon Universe show, live)
    - Everybody Dies (Ayreon Universe show, live)
    - The Eye of Ra (Ayreon Universe, live, you’ll recognize the ladies in the thumbnail)

    One of the mars rovers is going to transmit a radio program broadcast from Mars. Among the program is a single song selected by vote. The song selected is "My house on Mars" by Ayreon . Can you guess who is one of the vocalist? Who else then the Goddess herself. :-)

    Hahahaha awww you put on her shirt. Ok. Sooo many things to recommend from this one on. First of all, Ayreon is a journey in itself. Every concept album he's made is a ride. And the sisters Jansen appear multiple times.
    So you could try, for example: the DVD Ayreon Universe Live, the song Isolation from the cd The Human Equation, Toehider's song How Do Ghosts Work.

  • @ChrisEchoes
    @ChrisEchoes Před 4 lety +2

    I am genuinely surprised you have never heard of Ayreon (which is basically an English bastardisation of his first name: Arjen Lucassen). The man has being doing his spacerockmetaloperas for years with growing and growing success and he basically will ask anyone (yep, he even asked David Gilmour) to participate. At first it was usually musical friends and slowly but surely he got bigger names (he had Barry Hay of Golden Earring on his first album) for instance Bruce Dickinson and James LaBrie. But he also has his regular cast including Floor, Simone and a guy called Damian Wilson.
    The interesting part of his work is the stories of a lot of his albums are apparently connected, something akin to the Marvel Universe so to speak. But even more interesting is this bit: he never intended and wanted to play this music live but his fans which included some of his regular contributors really wanted to see it live so they (with his permission) crowdfunded a series of performances of his album The Human Equation and he came to see it and was stunned it could actually be done. This finally persuaded him to do it himself as well and with help from a lot of his muscal friends (especially Joost van den Broek who has become his music director / bandleader) they created the show called Ayreon Universe. It was announced as a once-in-a-lifetime experience but .... the shows were sold out in minutes and went extremely well (Arjen even did perform on stage although he suffers from big stage fright) so in 2018 he did another show this time focusing on the performance of just on whole album, the rockopera Into The Electric Castle. You should check out some of the videos online for these shows because in the Universe show Floor is taking part and in the Electric Castle the lovely Simone is gracing the stage and ... the Hippie even returns to th stage: czcams.com/video/w6rBHaOmXMo/video.html

    It was awesome to see how damn happy the music makes you! Thanks for sharing that joy and passion with us - you had me grinning like a loon the whole video!
    And, PS, Michael Mills (the 1 0 guy) is awesome in toehider - he plays all the instruments and sings all the parts. Check out his live How Much for that Dragon's Tooth if you haven't already. It's like if Dio and Freddie Mercury had a secret lovechild, i swear to god.

    Like #100. 'Bout dadgum time. This song launched a journey of exploration for me into so many fine bands and stellar artists. I knew DT, and had only just begun hearing Nightwish, but Toehider is hilariously, riotously amazing, Symphony X is CLASSIC hard prog metal with a storytelling bent, and you already know Epica, so just dive into any of these folks' discography and hang on! There is SO much more to come...

  • @frankroos1167
    @frankroos1167 Před 4 lety

    Amazed? This is another "why didn't I know about this?"
    Mr. Lucassen has been doing stuff like this for quite a while. Most of his projects are just like this. He makes a story, composes the music and such. Then hires musicians to record it all.
    The stories have several roles in them. Each role will have one (or sometimes two) singers. Each singer appearing whenever the role needs to do something. And sometimes (like in this one) all roles have a part.
    I can see how much you enjoyed this. Look up pretty much the entire Ayreon discography to find tons of greatness. I fail at suggesting anything in particular, because I like it all so much.
    One warning, though. All of it is loooooong. And you get to appreciate most of it even more, if you hear the full story. (which is also loooooong.)

  • @darmokVtS
    @darmokVtS Před 4 lety +1

    For more Ayreon try some live stuff maybe, I'd recommend the following (titles should be specific enough to find the version I suggest):
    Valley Of The Queens (Ayreon Universe): Some more Floor (together with two other awesome ladies, Anneke van Giersbergen and Marcella Bovio)
    Amazing Flight (Electric Castle Live And Other Tales): Probably Ayreon's most popular song. You also might recognize someone there that you'd normally not expect in a music video :).
    The Eye Of Ra (Universe): Originally a Star One (another project of Arjen) song, but performed live at an Ayreon event. Has been sometimes called "the we are the world of metal" due to the ridiculous amount of people involved on stage. It's Stargate, the song.
    Intergalactic Space Crusaders (Universe): Also Star One but performed at the same event as before. It's about a British Sci-Fi Show called Blake's 7. Really fun song in my opinion.
