Been a fan since a mere teenager in 1986...
Kai Hansen (red guitar) was the original singer but found it too hard doing that and lead vocals
Michael Kiske (bald head, was 17 when he joined) sang on 2 seminal power metal albums The Keeper of the Seven Keys parts 1 & 2
They were huge across Europe/MTV at the time (1989/90)
Band infighting though saw Kai leave, eventually followed by Kiske with a big bust up
The others continued, new singer Andi Derris (long hair) came in
Original drummer Ingo sadly took his own life in 1994
The band toured for years without the same success, but a chance meeting in 2016/17 saw a make up - and they have been touring as a 7 piece with all 3 singers doing bits of the show, 3 guitarists, bass and amazing drummer, covering all the bands periods
They even put a new album out!
Watch Keeper of the Seven Keys from the Wacken show, its spine tingling
Some of the songs are linked by an underlying story like a rock opera
You know a lot about these guys.... I really liked these guys growing up in the 80s.... Very underated metal band... They came to Worcester Massachusetts and I friggin missed it.... I really hope they come back...
one of my fav band ever... what amazing powerhouse voices ever..❤❤
Helloween started out as a speed metal band, which you can still hear here. Their two subsequent Keeper albums are considered to be the hour of birth of power metal. By the way: This performance (Pumkins United) includes all 3 singers of the Helloween story. The man with the pink guitar can sing too.
The "Man with the pink guitar" is the former singer of the band. Listen to the album" Walls of Jericho". :)
@@Jabberwokki i know
Absolutely awesome love helloween the best power metal band of all time
Great reaction to a great band with many fantastic songs like Keeper of the seven keys, How many tears, Eagle fly free, Dr Stein and many more.🎸🤘
Great band. I have the 2 Keeper albums and also some great bootleg shows from back in the Kiske era. This "Pumpkins United" lineup has worked out well for them. Hope the exams went well, have a great week!
Bought the Vinyl of part 2 on amazon in mint condition ( even included with a concert flyer from back than - including my birth town of Böblingen) and it's my greatest treasure ... :D
One thing I love about your reactions is the way you get into the music. You can't fake those faces you make. I'm the same way when music moves me. Keep it up! 🤘
Thx Verdy, love me some Helloween. I know Lovebites are influenced by Iron Maiden but they could do an awesome cover of "Halloween". And if Sal Saucedo sees this then "Happy Helloween".😈👋
Yep, they've covered 'Eagle Fly Free' in the past, 'Halloween' would be fantastic ! 🤘🤘
@@brandydynamite5877 Hiya Brandy.🙂👋
Glad you liked it! I've discovered them not too long ago as well and been loving them since then. I'd recommend Keeper of the seven keys, from the same concert. I feel you'd enjoy it just as much as this one.
Great reaction!!
Honestly I say you are so honest on your opinion. Love your smiles. So sweet. Keep rocking baby.
Didn't expect to see a gfriend poster in the back of a helloween reaction. I love that group!
Better late then never 🤘Helloween is credited for coining the term Power Metal back in the 80s and this bands origins can be dated back to 1979. This song is originally from 1987. They actually have 3 singers. The person playing the Red Guitar is their original singer but backed down in 1986 to just playing guitar and picked up Michael Kiske (Bald Guy) to replace him on vocals. In 1994 Michael Kiske was replaced with Andy Deris (Vocalist with hair) and in 2016 Micheal Kiske and Kai Hansen reunited with Helloween and now Helloween is one big happy family and have 3 vocalist and 3 guitarists now. I have tickets to see them live in the USA next year and im super excited to see them
Many, many bands have been influenced by Helloween over the years and have produced over 16 studio albums themselves
@Dragon Ball fans can't read Early Days (1984-1986)
The story began somewhere between 1976 and 1978, drummer wannabe called Kai Michael Hansen founded a band called Gentry, with Frank (vocals), Kai Hansen (guitars), Peter “Piet” Sielck (guitars), Christian (bass) and Johannes (drums). Though the band didn’t reach major success but in 1978, by the time they were about to play at contest, they didn’t have a bass player and drummer. The band was always about Sielck and Hansen. So they just borrowed members from other bands. And when the contest was on, it’s Piet’s mother came there with lots of potato chips. They gave them to people in exchange for votes and they all voted for them and they won. Gentry won the first prize on a local rock festival.
Somewhere between 1978 and 1980, Gentry was left without vocalist, bassist and drummer. Hansen and Sielck were searching for replacements. They just wanted to have something powerful and heavy. The change was simple. After they won the contest they soon found a new bassist and drummer, Ingo Schwitchenberg but had to fire the bassist very quickly because he didn’t understand their music, he wanted something more funky. So they decided that Gentry had run its course and changed the name to Second Hell. In 1980, they had an audition for bassist, and the news came to Markus Großkopf from punk-band called Traumschiss.
“Yeah, yeah, there was a punk band. You know, I come from the punk scene, I started with bands like Sex Pistols and the Ramones. There was a band called Traumschiss (unsure about the spelling - ed.) in Germany that I played with for two or three years before I joined all those guys in the band that became Helloween later on. That was at an audition for a bass player that they did. I met a guy who told me they were looking for a bass player and I just said, “Well, you got one! There’s one standing right in front of you!” He gave me the address, I called them up and… well, and I’ve been in since then. What a lucky day! Imagine I could have gone somewhere else on that day!” Then a short time later Marcus on bass, while Piet took the vocals. They played several songs that later wound up on Helloween and Gamma Ray albums. They already had “Metal Invaders”, the first song that Helloween ever recorded. It was the song that started it all. They also played “Phantoms Of Death” and “Gorgar”. And, there was also the song called like the band “Second Hell”. It later became “Heading For Tomorrow” of Gamma Ray. “Second Hell” was that long, about 10 minutes. It had the same melody, almost the same arrangement and riff as the song “Heading For Tomorrow”. But the lyrics were different.
Songs from this era include “Murderer” (1979), “Phantoms Of Death”, “Second Hell”, “Iron Savior”, “Gorgar”, “Metal Invaders” (1980), “Save Us” (1982), and “Victim Of Fate” (1982). Michael Weikath of Powerfool entered (bringing with him, among other things, an early version of “How Many Tears” called “Sea Of Fears” from 1982), and the band changed its name. In 1983, Piet left for America for a year to study sound engineering. He though they’d played around for two years and nothing happened. It was very frustrating for Piet and finally he gave it all up. At that time there was no really professional scene in Germany although he worked for two years in a studio as a recording engineer. So he decided to go to Los Angeles because the whole rock music scene was concentrated there. But when he came he found out that he knew more than people there. So he spent about nine months in L.A. doing surfing and mostly having the fun of life. Then he returned to Germany and started working in “Karo Studios” with Kalle Trapp.
He gave all the rights to Kai and he was free to do whatever he wanted with those songs. The way they were played on Walls Of Jericho is the same way they were played in the days of Second Hell.
“Everything split up and everybody was trying to find some ground for themselves in different ways. I knew Weiki from other bands, I played with him in a different band with some other guys, then I came back to Kai and we played together with Weiki and they got to know each other. And then we decided to get Weiki in the band, because Piet wouldn’t go on with what we were doing. We have had him in the band as long as we are called Helloween.” - Markus Großkopf -
When they played in a small club in Hamburg, a club for amateur and semi professional musicians that had equipment and helped them get gigs. So they eventually met each other there at a show one time so Hansen was there with Markus and Ingo under the name Ironfist. Weikath found the band impressive because it was some of the heaviest stuff he had ever heard and sometimes it was so badass and they played “Gorgar” in a different version because it was so badass sounding at that time and just so aggressive and such. Eventually they got into contact and Weikath asked Hansen if he would like to team up with him and his band at the time called Powerfool because the keyboardist went away and Weikath was sick of trying shit with keyboardists since they wanted mostly to do nothing but jazz and funk but no hard rock. Weikath thought that he could have another guitarist and do it well like Accept or a band like that like a twin guitar attack team. Hansen took the offer to join the band, they played for a while at the band but they didn’t suit with the others. So they both left the band and found Ingo and Markus after half a year.
In the end of 1983 they were together and we had written songs like “Metal Invaders”.
It all started from there and Ingo then was watching that movie HALLOWEEN and they could not think of any other name because they have been around as other names and they did not think Ironfist or any other name was good enough to start their career off with. They wanted something racey and fast and that looked and sounded good.
Then Hansen and Weikath had the idea of changing the “a” into an “e” because it was sounding more like hell and it was different. For Halloween, you of course use pumpkins and the “o” was perfect to put as a pumpkin. They started scribbling logos and Weikath and Hansen both at the same time came up with the “o” as a pumpkin in the middle.
Helloween officially became Helloween in 1984.
They met Limb Scnoor (their first manager, now manager of Angra, Heaven’s Gate) who had contact with Running Wild who were at Noise and so they made it! At the beginning Limb did a good job to promote the band, as manager. He did a good job at promotion, organization and had contacts with several people. Of course that had its limit, because Helloween grew faster than he did in the society of managers.
In early 1984, Helloween undertook a small tour of Hamburg clubs. Songs from this era include “Murderer” (1979), parts of “Heading For Tomorrow” (!) (1980), “Iron Savior” (1980), “Gorgar” (1981), “Metal Invaders” (1981), “Save Us” (1982), and “Victim Of Fate” (1982). Weikath entered (bringing with him, among other things, “Guardians”, an early version of “How Many Tears” called “Sea Of Fears” from 1982).
The musics was the mixing of Weikath and Hansen. The songs Hansen wrote with Piet were more hard rock like UFO, but their sound became heavier when Judas Priest came, especially when Hansen started writing faster songs e.g. “Metal Invaders” that he wrote with Piet with a hard rock style, changed, like the homonymous song of Iron Saviour. Generally their sound was the mixing of Weikath who wanted them more melodically and Kai who wanted them with more speed and power. On this standard the songs were written, Hansen adopted melody and Weikath adopted speed… Until then there was nothing truly comparable, except Iron Maiden who had that combination but a bit slower.
Music to really wake up after some hefty studying !
Lâche pas VERDY avec tes reactions!🤟
I was at this gig when they played in London. One of the best I've been to.
How about doing a reaction tribute to Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac who just died. Maybe do one of her hit songs, "Say You Love Me", "You Make Loving Fun", "World Turning" or if you like slow love ballads, "Songbird".
Lisren to the song 'Kèeper of the seven keys' from the Pumpkins united tour and you will hear this both singers in obe of their best Performances ever
Good luck
I loved the video, it was very interesting, you are super amazing
You re not late, you re a ahead of time for next years halloween.
Please,
React to "Keeper of the seven Keys" alive version.
Thanks.
What a great reaction! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
"È só" a maior banda de todos os tempos tocando a maior musica de todos os tempos......
Keeper of the seven Keys please!
Make sure to watch the video from around 1984, you’ll see right away that from the beginning they had a sense of humor which really made that video stick out, you’ll also hear the version most people know, the single version which is at least 5 mins shorter. yeah I have no idea about their other songs but they def nailed this one w/perfect H’ween-y vibes. (also this was the first euro band I ever saw that was obvi. copying early metallica at least in the speed of their playing)
Cool reacción... Please reacción song we got the right ...hellowen please inspiraciónal song
I suggest "Sometimes i like to lie" from AnnenMayKantereit.

If this channel is not just music it's your life, then you should react to one of the best upcoming artist everyone's going crazy about. After just listening for the first time reactors are being stunned. Angelina Jordan covering Bohemian Rhapsody on America's Got Talent The Champions 2020. Angelina Jordan Astar born 2006, now she's 16 years old. Won Norways Got Talent in 2014 when she was 7 years old she plays 3 different instruments, does the arrangements of her covers and has a voice at a young age that's off the charts.
Do you get your videos to react to from the comments section? This reaction is a must so whenever you feel like it get to it, obviously if you never heard of her. Much love

Hi Verdy
Not heard in a long time. I got the album in 1987 along with an earlier EP. Not something I would listen to now, but they are fine.
Bon, je dois dire que cette "toune" m'ennui musicalement un peu, juste mon opinion. Bonne succès avec les examens!
