Roy Khan is so underrated. Fantastic band and vocalist. Tommy is amazing as well.
Roy was perfection
@@Karldin83 and he's still pretty good nowadays
I do not consider him underrated, he was/is considered one of the best singers of our/his active times.
Among us, in the metal scene. He is a legend.
17:20 the song goes that way
Kamelot's best era imo. Roy Khan is one of my favourites vocalists of all time.
If you liking this Kamelot, check out "Conception". Roy's old band that he's back together with making some amazing music, honestly up there with this era of Kamelot to me. Really grows on you.
The Elizabeth Trilogy is one of my favorite Roy era songs. And this live version is way better than the studio version.
That keyboard player is Oliver Palotai, husband of Simone Simons of Epica.
It still surprises me that reactors are shocked when any member of a metal band shows their skill in playing. People MASSIVELY underestimate the training of many of these metal musicians.
Not to forget Palotai is a classical trained pianist. And metal is all about showing the own musical excellence. That is one key part of it: Not only the singer stands out. Similar to jazz.
the keyboardist, Oliver, is married to Simone Simons from Epica
OMG! Roy Khan reactions 🎉 Need to find some snacks!
Roy ZANE???? Roy KHAN.
I agree with all that's said before... Great song.
So glad you mentioned the mix. I’ve said for years this probably one of the absolute best live recordings of any genre I’ve ever heard. The quality and mixing is just phenomenal. The audio engineering is just absolutely perfect the entire album.
Please consider, in the future, checking out Forever, The Haunting, Abandoned, When The Lights Are Down and Karma from the same concert. You'll not regret it.
I love Roy Khan… fabulous, unbelievably concentrated presence. ❤❤❤❤
I wish I had never heard it and this were the 1st time
The female vocalist is Mari Youngblood, she's the wife of the guitarrist and band founder Thomas Youngblood. She's a classically trained soprano and has occasionally done guest vocals for a few of Kamelot's studio recordings.
@@Johnnymack666 Pillock
@@Johnnymack666 Telling you do not know what metal music theorywise is, whithout mentioning it. Great job! Without knowledge you should not comment on the matter.
Roy is an incredible vocalist. Also he was sick at this performance but did his best.
The keyboardist is Simone Simmons (Epica) Husband. Simone sings with Roy on their song "The Haunting"
Love this reaction. Roy is such a unique singer, with so much expressiveness in the way he pronounces his words and applies different tone. His performance on stage always looks like he is lost in the music, like it's flowing through him. And of course his voice and timbre is so rich and gorgeous. The female vocalist here is Mari Youngblood, the guitar player's wife. Kamelot traditionally has the crowd sing along to a different song, 'Forever', and there's a great recording of that from the same concert DVD (One Cold Winter's Night). The thing he says at the end is "tusen takk" or 'thanks so much' in Norwegian.
In my opinion the greatest song in this genre ive ever listened to.
MORE KAMELOT!!! C'mon 💪🏻🖤
ABANDONED!!
Oh yes Ken ! That was Kamelot´s golden era and this particular performance something for the history. Simply amazing, which is understatement...
I'm so glad I got to see them a bunch during this era.
Can't ever get enough of people discovering Roy's talent.
17:34 I think you're spot on. This particular performance was at the end of a very long and demanding show.
Roy is spot on amazing through the whole show (you should check it out!) but I also feel in this last song you can see him struggle and simplify it down a lot.
Not trying to take anything away from Roy. He's my favorite singer ever. I just appreciate that you're the only reaction I've seen that mentions it. Most other reaction channels are way too scared of saying anything remotely critical of the performance they're reacting to, even when it's obvious.
I saw them on 70K Tons this year and I couldn't stop smiling they were so good.
Of course only guitar and keyboard would have been the same people as in this video.
Thank you (and your patron) so much for this one, Roy Khan and Kamelot are absolutely sublime, and they have continued to be great with Tommy Karevik. Roy just pours emotion into his delivery. Oliver Palotai and Thomas Youngblood (keyboardist and guitarist) are absolutely key to Kamelot's sound.
Re: the down octave lyric, it is an intentional distorted lyric and is always sung that way, to denote the descent into madness. Though, it could well be strategically placed.
The best I've heard him sound on live recordings is on "The Expedition" - "Desert Reign/Nights Of Arabia" being my favorites.
Yeah. Nights is fantastic. It's a shame that he can't do those high notes anymore (and for quite a while).
At the end he said "Tusen takk" (literally: thousands of thanks) But it's meaning is more like Thank you so much!
These three songs were in the middle of the show or thereabout. He wasn't tried on the "goblin voice" bits, it's the inner evil dark voice in the theatrical performance, same on the recorded version. Also i'm thinking you found him more resonant when he went "aah oooh aah oooh" in Fall from Grace because of microphone placement as well as simply belting in a clean mixed voice. All these different techniques cost him his ability to maintain the voice at that level sadly and he left the band, voice was sounding strained very few years after this performance. Yes they have 3 backing vocalists, 2 female 1 male, during this performance. His singing has a big place on the stage because Kamelot only uses 1 guitarist, 1 keyboard player and 1 base player, not 2 guitarists like most bands, hence his voice doing more work but also having more room to fill. I love this, the "old" Kamelot, so pleasant to listen to. Never annoying or harsch or "too much" in those years. Mainly due to Roy Khans voice but also the sweeeet guitar!
Was about to write a very similar comment, but you covered it better than I ever could have :).
She is mari youngblood,wife of the guitar player, thomas youngblood :)
The female is Mari Youngblood, wife of the guitarist. She is not a normal part of the band but does guest with them sometimes
I think metalheads crowd are always the best at keeping tempo and singing on key.
Fun fact: the pianist is Married to Simone Simmons, lead singer of Epica. Which is another amazing band if you like Kamelot.
One Cold Winter's Night - live concert. this isn't the last song of the show. tussen takk is what he said at the end - thousand thanks - Roy (Khan) Khantatat is Norwegian.
For real Roy Khan is imo one of the greatest singers ever
So glad to see you check out Kamelot! I would highly recommend the live video for their song "The Haunting" which features Simone from Epica (who is married to Kamelot's keyboard player). Really excellent vocal duet.
Love your analysis as always! Thanks for everything you do!
Great suggestion! - I will check it out and thanks for the compliment :)
Roy Khan is a trained opera singer, who "accidently" came to metal... this makes him so unique in this metal-world. One of the best metal singers i ever head!
Roy Khan is the best rock vocalist of the past 20 years! He sounds better live than on records! Also this whole live concert is pure magic.
Okay, so there's another Alex out there with fantastic taste in music... good to know. :P This has been one of my all time favorite live performances for the past 15 years. Possibly only topped by the live version of 'Forever' from the 2020 'I Am The Empire- Live from the 013' album with Tommy Karevik.
Worth noting that Roy is a rich baritone, borderline bass. The range in which he seems "comfortable," as you said it, should probably be relatively high in his range. It's rather unreasonable how rich his voice is low and how powerful it is high. Fun to see you cover this -- as others have said, go through the rest of the concert :)
Roy is simply amazing. Easily my favorite metal vocalist of all time!
Roy khan is just a legend
Roy Khan, Geoff Tate (Queensryche), Tony Harnell (TNT), and Michael Eriksen (Circus Maximus) - enjoy the feast! ;)
That falsetto is something out of this world!!!
OH that alternance of vocal styles and from high to low notes clean to gritty are all meant to portray the theatrical debacle within Elizabeths mind or from her character/persona perspective. like in the first part, but then and there at the heavyest and fastest parts.
So great - thank you❣
Roy is master at his craft!
Roy voice is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry.
The high, down on fall from grace its because he's playing an angel and a demon over the shoulder
kamelot y Roy es perfección.❤❤
The Edge of Paradise live is my favourite live performance of Roy's. He's better live than studio vocals it's insane ❤
Roy Zayn? You say it with such confidence you got me questioning the few things I do know :P And I think with Kamelot they do have a few moments that just fit great. Like in Forever, people start chanting before the singer even gets a chance to let people know this is when the singalong starts. Though to be fair, every concert of theirs I've been to, I just sang along to it all, lost my voice like 5/6 times? Anytime they play Sailorman's Hymn I just have to sing along.
The last thing he said was "Tusen takk", which is Norwegian for "Thank you". I have never heard anyone pronounce his name "Zane" before. I always assumed it was more like "Kaan", as in Genghis Khan.
Roy is awesome and maybe my favorite vocalist, from this live and a broadly react song is The Haunting with Simone, it's sad that they didn't record many live shows.
He is not taking down an octave because he was tired. It is the song that is made like that and I prefer it like this :)
Actually, the studio recording he does not drop and octave there. He returns to the original notes.
@@yippeethreeeight then my memory is playing tricks on me 😆 it sounds great this way as if it has always meant to be
Kamelot doesn't feel the same to me without Roy. He had such a strong vocal lead for so many songs... I really love his last album Poetry for the Poisoned.
I feel like the band went more pop-metal after he left and dropped the emotional side.
I think Kamelot is still an amazing band with Tommy. Roy is outstanding, but he is with his former band Conception now and they did and do amazing music too
The songwriting is worse although they have a bunch of cool songs with Tommy too. Tommy is a fantastic singer though. And yeah we have Roy back with Conception. :)
I agree that the songwriting is not the same, and of course Tommy is a very different singer, although also very good. I think of Tommy-Kamelot as a different band from Roy-Kamelot. Still good but not the level of amazing that they were back then. Conception's new music is fantastic though and it's so nice to hear Roy's voice again.
Tommy is the Broadway version of Khan to me.
my favourite singer of heavy metal by far
They could easily do a James Bond theme, with Roy.
Haha, I was about to comment on the crowd rushing in the intro just as you called them out. I have no idea why that's a thing, but crowds are basically incapable of keeping time and it drives me insane every time.
21:00 Yes yes it is! To different degrees
Kamelot has many Female Guest Singers of the Years including Simone Simons the wife of Kyborders Oliver
Well...thats one of the 10 best singers of his time.kamelot was top tier with Roy.
His name is Roy Khaaaaaan, not Roy Xseeeeeen
Do you come back to this video for the falsetto ?
Thank you Conan Obrian Look alike
Hey Uncle just found your channel
Glad to have you here Rowan!
It is very strange that you have already filmed reactions to many metal bands, including symphonic metal bands such as Nightwish and even Kamelot, but have not yet reviewed another awesome voice and awesome band in this genre. Now this group is the second most popular in the genre after Nightwish. I would love to see a review from you on Epica and their vocalist Simone Simons (who, by the way, sang with Kamelot and Floor Jansen more than once). You can start with this great performance, which they recently posted on their TH-cam channel:
Epica - Unleashed (live in AFAS LIVE) th-cam.com/video/OV7KcV0VZmw/w-d-xo.html
3.57 She is wife of Kamelot guitarist
Does it drive anybody else just a little bit insane when the captions on this video say, "Justify the madness I portray", when the actual lyrics are (and just make much more sense as), "Justify the malice I portray"?
He does do a lot of modifications in this performance, but they seem almost seamless, especially if you're not familiar with the original recording. He does have incredible range, and power metal concerts like these are full of moments where you can and are practically expected to sing along. His voice is struggling just a bit here, I think he is a bit tired. You can hear the amount of energy he has to use to move through passaggio and his voice doesn't always comply right away, hence the melodic modifications. Once he's centered in that part of his voice its all good though.
I miss Roy in Kamelot.
Hey Ken, have you ever considered doing a reaction to the song by Canadian Folk legend Gordon Lightfoot by the name of “The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald”? I think you’d really enjoy it, as well as the history behind it
What headphones do you use? Great reaction btw!
They look like AKG maybe K702 but I could be wrong. You can never go wrong with AKG headphones.
AKG 72 closed back headphones... these are super comfortable and reliable however I wish i had the 702's those are next level for sure...
Khan..Khan..
Who's s Roy Zane? 🤔
I guess you can call her an actress. She is Roy's wife and does almost every female appearance that has to interact with Roy way back in this era
Not Roy's wife, the wife of the guitarist Thomas Youngblood.
roy zane?
Hey man… try a mexican band! Called PSICOFONIA song: Mundo en Guerra
About this Coach Reaction - First He got hes name wrong. Its Roy Khan not Roy Zane. And i was suprised that he made very little comment about when he sung in hes chest voice at the beginning. And at the part III he didn't go an Octave lower, it was ment to be like that - he was being expressive and like making two voices at the same, like singing two narratives. It seems to me that this critic did not really delve into Roy's singing and evaluated everything rather superficially. A rather dry and unresponsive reaction. I have noticed that vocal teachers want to classify voice types and ways of singing. And automatically put the frame in a song. Roy's voice is not within these frames, they have their own character and their own uniqueness, which gives it almost its own essence. But, of course, not everyone is able to dive deeply into emotions and feel aspects of the soul - which is practically in every word in Roy's singing. And that's why Roys is my favorite musician. But despite the content, I'm glad that the reaction to Roy's singing has increased, it means that his name will get more recognition that he deserves!
Roy kahan wife
"Khan", jesus Christ.
In my opinien Elisabeth Bathory was given a bad wrap by the male establishment at the time. She had to much power.
