@@L33Reacts Most of the European metal scene is friendly like that. (Yes, I know not all artists are European) Everybody in the metal scene here seems to be friends with other bands. Floor is a great example of that. Her best friend is Simone from Epica and her husband is the drummer of Sabaton. From a European point of view, the USA seems very focused on winning/being the best from a very young age. Maybe that's why American artists feel more rivalry between each other?
It's a big fat "Yes" to Ayreon and everyone they work with - Arjen knows how to pick the perfect talent for every part of every song; the only limitation is their availability!
Even when the original singer isn't available for the live show, Arjen can still find someone to fill the position that somehow sounds different and just as good at the same time
Ayreon is a wonderful project. Arjen is a musical genius and he calls to collaborate a lot of fantastic musicians and singers. And one of the background singers is Floor's sister (the girl on the left)
Singer in order of appearance. Michael Mills (Toehider, dressed as the AI TH-1), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian), Maggy Luyten (The Prize), the Valkyrie Goddess. Every Ayreon song is a prog dreamland, and Arjen certainly knows his synthesizers. Great reaction, keep rocking.
The song comes from the same album as The Day That The World Breaks Down, The Source. This is the 3rd song on the record , TDTTWBD is the 1st. That's Mike Mills from Toehider (binary guy) wearing the helmet with wires, his character is a machine. Yep, Hansi Kusch from Blind Guardian going back and forth with Tommy Karevik (Kamelot /Seventh Wonder). No, Tommy Rogers wasn't here. The woman is Belgian singer Maggy Luyten (The Prize/ ex Nightmare). You know Floor. The backup singers , l-r, Floor's sister Irene Jansen, Lisette van den Berg (Scarlett Stories) and Marcela Bovio(MaYan/ Stream of Passion) In the last video , I mentioned in my comment, Sir Joost van den Broek. You see him here on keyboards. Eye of Ra is the show closer. Star of Sirrah, and the ballad Valley of the Queens are more from this show.
What?? That’s so cool! They both can sing amazing too 😍 I wonder if their parents can sing as well

That concert is one of my go to things to watch when I need some positive energy. The fun everyone is having is really infectous. If you want to do the whole concert, here is the link to a playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLJGn3wi7b7b606GfoKAdOgm6rtX9OliRc.html
From this show I can recommend: The Age of Shadows, Valley of the Queens, Intergalactic Space Crusaders and The Eye of Ra. Watch the Eye of Ra last, as it's the closer of the show. In effect the whole show is absolute fire, so whatever you pick it's probably going to be up your alley. I have the DVD at home and watched it many, many times. I couldn't attend that show live then, but I am going to see them in September this year, yay!
Remember Mills has the role of the super computer TH-1 that has decided the planet was better off without humans. He was in the queen-like video part singing binary code. That explains his outfit. And Maggie Luyten....her voice...so sick! Good you mentioned you will do RtA. They would not pop up in may daily query. I would hate to miss that.
If you wanna see more Mike Mills (the guy with the head prop and the impossible vocal extension) I'd suggest a song that is less "reacted" and overly underestimated in my opinion, live version also from Ayreon Universe (th-cam.com/video/L3TxOaCZv0w/w-d-xo.html). It's "The Theory of everything" which is actually a medley of the 3 parts in the original album. It's a duet with Marcela Bovio, another great vocalist you'll see regularly if you keep going with Ayreon (in the album the same role is played by Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil). And you'll see great interaction keyboard/guitar and a flute player headbanging while playing 😂
Yes that was the singer for Blind guardian and yes that was Tommy as for the guy with the wires is playing the character TH-1 from the song you've seen earlier the Day the world breaks down. His name is Michael mills from Toehider and is an Australian multi instrumentalist with an amazing high vocal range.

What should be said has already be said (and suggested) in other comments. I suggest you to listen to "chaos", an instrumental one, with incredible drums, virtuosistic, and to react to Into The Black Hole, with Bruce Dickinson, in the video published the last year in Arjen's channel.
I love this track. One day I was walking outside wearing my Nightwish hoodie, and with this song in my headphones while whistling along. A couple rode by on their bicycles and I could almost read their minds: Hey Nightwish! Hey Ayreon! Great taste! (with a huge smile). It's not like everyone in the Netherlands knows Nightwish and Ayreon. So I guess there's a certain feeling attached to seeing people that love them too. But I only realized that when I saw a dude wearing an Ayreon shirt and I was making that same face at him that the couple made to me! LOL
Even though I really love your reactions, I would recommend, when you have some time to kill, to sit down and listen to the whole Electric Castle album from beginning to end with the lyrics. That album was my introduction to Ayreon and I was immediately sold. The Electric Castle is a whole story from beginning to end (as are most of his rock opera's). And of course, some songs shine more than others, but I find that I get so much more invested in the separate songs by knowing the whole story, if that makes any sense...
This song is from Ayreon ninth studio album "The Source", prequel to album "01011001" . This DVD is awesome , absolute fire performance by everyone 🤘🔥🤘. And to see Floor with her sister Irene ( one of the backup singers , close to the drums ) on the same stage , is absolutely magical 🥰.

Please react to JAMRUD... they are one of the legends of Indonesian rock/metal bands. I suggest the following songs🤘🏼 The metal show Cerita usang Ciaat Ayam (sounds from the corner live) Sik sik sibatumanikam Kau jahanam aku bajingan Most wanted S.h.i.t Datang sikat kabur Apa masih belum cukup uangmu Tjimahi 80’s mv 2021 Dehidrasi live Asal british (sounds from the corner live) Setan manisku Putri (sounds from the corner live) Nangislah negeriku Halo penjahat (sounds from the corner live) Ancuuur Thank you
So many great songs to chooce from.. hard to suggest one because they are all cool.. Some of my favorites are "Star of Sirrah" and "Intergalactic Space Crusaders" Live of course.. Thank you!
Just fyi, although it gets lumped in with Ayreon, The Eye of Ra is from one of his (Arjens) other projects called Star One. Each song on those albums is about a science fiction movie. That one being Stargate. The first Star One album, Space Metal, is a favorite of mine.
Great reaction! I think most everyone answered your questions. I just want to give a shout out to Marcela Bovio, the backup singer on the right with auburn hair. One of Ayreon's Angels, she is an incredible singer in he own right, second only to Floor in her versatility, power, and emotion. She is originally from Mexico and was "discovered" by Arjen as aprt of a contest to add a unknown singer to his project. She was the lead singer with Stream of Passion, another Arjen project, one of the lead singers in MaYan (side project of Mark Jansen of Epica), as well as with Dark Horse White Horse. Rebirth of Despair with MaYan is a good showcase of her versatility. th-cam.com/video/u5TQqUD74OE/w-d-xo.html. A more mainstream sound is her performance of Out in he Real World from the into The Electric Castle live concert. th-cam.com/video/Rtrkpxq3dOA/w-d-xo.html. One of my favorites is solo song by her called Here to Stay. It is from an album called Through Their Eyes where each song was based on a theme or story provided by one of her patreons. Here to Stay was inspired by a gentleman who while going through medical tests was told he might have cancer. He later found out he idd not and the song is about how the experience changed him and how he views life. About a year after releasing the song she came down with cancer herself and a year after treatment was declared cancer free. This performance is in her home studio a few months after getting the all clear and you can hear the emotion in her voice. th-cam.com/video/joSDTT4ZWYs/w-d-xo.html.
If you liked this and want to get into the story or the album itself, Taycott made a nice album lyric video. It has timestamps so you can listen/react to one song at a time. th-cam.com/video/vN-kbmQckw8/w-d-xo.html
pity floor's IEMs were not on here. I think the studio versions of the source songs are all better, but it's always nice to see crazy stuff like this live.
Just looked through the comments, and I didn't see anyone mentioning Twisted Coil (a song from another of Arjen's collab concerts). It's a real prog treat. A wonderful slow build. ( YT gcHn0kCgmAs )
Great reaction, well there’s a lot to explore with Ayreon! From this concert I recommend The Age Of Shadows, The Theory Of Everything, Merlin’s Will, Intergalactic Space Crusaders, The Castle Hall and The Eye Of Ra. By Into The Electric Castle Live And Other tales I recommend to do that in the right order, each time an other song.
Everybody has so much fun on stage. There is absolutely zero jealousy between the musicians and singers.
Isn't it so refreshing to see that? I love it. It's the first thing I really noticed about this. It's so cool to see!

I concur.

For great fun - Intergalactic Space Crusader. If you want to follow the story line, then Star or Sirrah. Both from Ayreon Universe

Hahaha that’s an awesome story. I always start headbanging and playing air guitar when I hear other cars or people playing metal music 😂😂
That was Tommy! (Karevik)
Though not Tommy Rogers who he thought he saw. Sadly Tommy Rogers was not part of the live shows.
Ayreon reminds me of older Meatloaf and Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds live concerts where they play off each other like this.
I've never seen those but if they are like this, they must be good! I have heard a few tracks of Meat Loaf's but never really dived into his work.
