Avantasia is probably based on a combination of Fantasia and Avalon. Been following Sammet since his debut with Edguy. Great artist and a huge inspiration for all things powermetal. And Jørn Lande is the best voice in metal and hard rock today in my opinion, just amazing. Proud to be norwegian:) Thanks for yet a great reaction, this channel is gold!
A&P-REACTS as you know, I didn't care for reaction videos until you guys came along. You're the real deal. Please check out Jorn - I walk alone Jørn Lande is the blonde longhaired guy who sings everyones ass off in this Avantasia video. One of the greatest voices in todays scene. Cheers from norway!
Avantasia is a project by tobias sammet in which he brings together a bunch of amazing artists to create a "metal opera". Lyrics to all their songs are written like a play and each singer gets to "play" the part of a character, they have like 30 different singers on the project altogether including people like alice cooper, dee snider, marco hietala of nightwish, andre matos (original singer of angra), bob catley, michael kiske of helloween, Jørn lande (the guy in this video) etc. Their stuff is a real gem and they're coming out with a new album in early 2019. For song suggestions, it doesnt matter what you pick, this band can do no wrong. Wicked symphony, runaway train, the tower, ghostlights, let the storm descend upon you, lucifer, farewell, seven angels....there's so much amazing stuff
We need more Avantasia here in the channel !! I LOVE these guys, Avantasia is an amazing project by Tobias Sammet, who's the leader, composer and the main vocalist of Avantasia (also leader, writer and singer of Edguy), he's a brilliant artist and very funny man too. Saw Avantasia once and was absolutely amazing. But this is the best performance of this song ever. The second vocalist is the legend Jorn Lande, one of the best voices that metal ever had. I really recommend the song Queen of the Dead by his work with Trond Holter, the whole album "Dracula" is fantastic, but this one is my favorite.
Their guest musician Jorn Lande also sings the songs for Pentakill. A fictive band from the game legaue of legends, I really love their songs because of his vocals. He's awesome!
You guys should keep doing Avantasia video's. It's Tobias (the singer) from Edguy's "solo" project. Always using an all star lineup of musicians and singers. When i purchased the first album (The Metal opera p1) back in 2000/2001 i still remember crying when i listened to it because it was just like metal should be. Right back to the eighties.. Still the best metal album of this millennia i feel.
These three should be right up your alley. th-cam.com/video/_E6fR8jPE8E/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/pP2ntDWE6rc/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mELpmzpT1X4/w-d-xo.html
So happy you guys finally checked out my favorite band. Yes, staring in awe is a normal reaction to seeing this video for the first time. It's such a great song, and this live version is so good. Avantasia is not only a band, but also a metal opera project. All their albums tell stories - currently split between the Metal Opera (parts I and II), the Wicked Trilogy (The Scarecrow, The Wicked Symphony, and Angel of Babylon), and The Mystery of Time/Ghostlights. This song of course is the title track to The Scarecrow the album. It's the second song and really sets up the main plot point of the story - the protagonist (who is known as the scarecrow) being drawn in by Mephistopheles the demon. Because each singer plays a different role, there are many songs with two, three, four, or even more singers sometimes, but there are also some songs where only the protagonist (Tobi Sammet) sings. Live performances don't always feature the same singers as the studio versions because not everybody can fit touring with Avantasia into their schedules, and of course some people are only on one song so it might not make sense for them to do it, but amazingly there's quite a few musicians who've kinda become the regular touring Avantasia group. This song however has the same singers studio and live. It's a must-play at every concert. Other Avantasia songs I would recommend would be: The Seven Angels (my first Avantasia song) Let The Storm Descend Upon You (my personal favorite) Farewell Savior In The Clockwork Stargazers The Wicked Symphony Runaway Train Sign of the Cross The Great Mystery Journey To Arcadia What Kind Of Love and pretty much every song, but you'd be better off just listening to the full albums to get the full effect of the stories. I remember when I was just getting into Avantasia and listened to a bunch of songs out of order and some of them confused me as to what was going on. But then I finally realized I had to listen to the full albums and suddenly it was all clear. I could keep going on forever, but I'll stop here. Congratulations for reading this far haha.
The second singer that came in is Jorn. JORN LANDE. Checkout and react to his solo stuff, but also his stuff in Allen & Lande. He will blow your mind away.
"Stand in the back, check out some merch, listen to the band..." Sounds just like me - at 53, it is a young man's game. Excellent performance. Never heard of this band before either but I'll be checking out more of their stuff. Well done guys.
Glad you guys found them they are one of my favourite artists although you can also check out Tobias Sammet's main band - Edguy as well. Avantasia was a side project that grew and grew. Where do I start for Suggestions for next Avantasia song.... Dyin' for an Angel feat. Klaus Meine, Toymaster feat. Alice Cooper and anything else from the Scarecrow album
What a wonderful surprize!!! Avantasia is a great proiect with many great players, Michael Kiske (Helloween) is one of them!! Check out please Rich out of the light !! A shorter and speedy track, great!! Surprize
Eu tive o prazer de vê-los ao vivo no Brasil, e é simplesmente incrível o que esses dois fazem com a voz. Aliás, Avantasia ao vivo foi uma das melhores coisas que já ouvi na vida. Som de alta qualidade. Obrigada pelo vídeo!
I have been waiting for this review for ages! Let's see how you react. Edit: Now time for the other 10min epics: The Wicked Symphony Stargazers The Great Mystery Saviour in the Clockwork Let the Storm Descend Upon You and my personal favourite Blizzard On A Broken Mirror; so that you can move to the main mind behind Avantasia's original band Edguy and do some more songs, including the 10min The Piper Never Dies. Just make sure you hear Avantasia - Draconian Love with Herbie Langhans from Sinbreed.
YES! YES! YES! Finally! Now you only have around ten more albums to go through, and around one hundred songs that are all great! :) Great reaction guys, love you! I know I don't comment alot because of my hands, but now and then I must... Thanks!!! Another great song to react to would be Master of the Pendulum with Marco Hietala on guest vocals.
Avantasia not JUST a band,it's a project of lead singer of the band Edguy (Tobias Samet) with a lot of famous SINGERS and MUSICANS from diferent bands. Vocals from Claus Maine,Byff Byford, JORN, Kai Hansen,Michael Kiske,Tim Owen Ripper,Samanta Sommervile,Oliver Hartman,Alice Cooper,Criss Oliva OH comon u should listem to them more \m/
For the future Avantasia reactions, you may go even more epic. From the previous album The Metal Opera Pt. 2 and its opening track, a 14-minute epic The Seven Angels with vocal talents along Tobias Sammet, Michael Kiske, David DeFeis, Rob Rock, Oliver Hartmann, Andre Matos and Kai Hansen... There may not be a live version from it. At least all the versions I have seen or heard has been as part of a medley with Sign of the Cross from the first Metal Opera adding only the chorus of Seven Angels to the end.
I know there's a full Seven Angels video from Chile 2013, but it's filmed with somebody's phone in the audience. Not great quality, but if you're a hardcore fan you'll probably like it anyway.
Great vid!!!... This is one of the best live shows i've seen and own it on DVD... Thats becasue i love this band and Tobias Sammet and its just a spectacle, i dont know how they pull off shows this huge and amazing quality...again, great job!!!
Tobias Sammeth is the mastermind behind Avantasia he's also the vocalist of Edguy a power metal band. You should react to the" Pharaoh" from said band live from Burning down the Opera DVD. The second singer with Tobias is Jorn Lande he's being a singer to Masterplan another German power metal band you should react to" time to be king" lyric video by said band. Jorn also has a side project with Symphony X's Russell Allen called" Allen Lande". He also has a few solo albums. One called" heavy rock radio" it's him singing covers by other bands.
I can truly relate to your comments about back pains during festivals; even as a young guy you're not really excluded from that^^ Speaking from personal experiences, it's the one thing which can truly diminish your joy of the experience. I once had the pleasure to witness an event in Trier (Germany) in 2007 where two tour groups merged together to the following line-up: Immolation, Dying Fetus, Krisiun, Grave, Skinless and Cattle Decapitation (and a couple of opening bands). It was probably my best ever pure "concert" in terms of quality but damn did I have back pains after it (even though I was only 17 at the time) ;)
Awesome reaction, I love your enthusiam for music so very much! You mentioned having to wait all day in front of the stage in order to score a place in the first row... well, see, this is what makes Wacken special: they have 2 main stages right next to each other, they are played alternately. Which means when one stage is being played on, the other one is empty and people can gather in front of it in anticipation of the next band. I've been to Wacken 3 times and was always able to see my favourite bands (Avantasia being one of them in 2008) from at least the first 5 rows.
Avantasia are really good. They have plenty of excellent songs such as reach out for the light, the tower, twisted mind, let the storm descend upon us, ghostlights, runnaway train, invoke the machine,...
Awesome reaction guys, and an amazing performance as well! If you wanna check out more Avantasia, I would definately say that you should check the song "Farewell" out :) Other than that, you know that I am looking forward for the "Lost to apathy" with Dark Tranquillity, since they will for sure play that song on the concert you are going to. Cheers, William
Since we're here, you should go check out the song Out of Control - Edguy ft Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian). Right up the alley here and epic (recorded version, not sure if there is a live version with Hansi?) I believe it's the song that made Tobias start Avantasia!
Love you guys. I found this site, because of Faith No More. When will you guys do another Mike Patton song? Surprised you chose that song, but love the passion. The best part of your channel is obviously your relationship. If I ever have a kid I hope to have that kind of relationship. Thank you, for loving good music and passing it on.
The title track from their latest album Ghostlights, is pretty good. it features Michael Kiske (Helloween) on vocals, one of many guest vocalists that perform with Avantasia. Kiske is practically a regular though, as well as Jorn Lande who appeared on this song.
Nice one! I really like that you also take your Time to watch longer stuff too. And this is a good one. I like how we can see you completele going with the Song. Go on like this:-)
I think you may have set a world record on how deep into metal one can go without encountering Avantasia! I would understand if you were allergic to symphonic power metal, but you seem to love the stuff :D Anyways nice to see this finally!
Two great songs by Avantasia that you should certainly check out are The Seven Angels or Let The Storm Descend Upon You or just any of their songs in fact.
I have been waiting for you to react to this and you absolutely delivered! Was waiting the whole time to see how you would react to those sweet melodic guitar solos :D The whole live DVD is full of amazing songs but my other favourites are Another Angel Down (with the same heavy metal viking singing aka Jorn Lande), I Don't Believe in Your Love (the bald guitar guy aka Oliver Hartmann is singing in this one) and Story Ain't Over (which has the coolest heavy metal granpa ever, singing absolutely amazing aka Bob Catley). Avantasia has surprisingly good catalogue of great songs starting from first album to this day. Let the Storm Descend Upon You from the newest album actually really blew me away as I thought that Tobias could never compose another Scarecrow level 10-minute supersong, but gladly I was wrong. Of course the power metal songs featuring Michael Kiske are absolute joy to listen too. You will drown in suggestions anyway so I just end this by saying that watching you reacting and especially finding new artists which you really seem to like is really fun to watch and you always bring smile to my face. Keep rockin'! \m/(-_-)\m/
If any Avantasia song, it should be Reach Out For The Light, there is awesome live video from wacken where Michael Kiske joins band as well. And hey, greetings from Finland! Great job guys with your react videos! :)
Sammet also appears on the last album of Ayreon. It's another really great metal opera. More progressive oriented. 'The Day that the World Breaks Down' is an amazing piece.
Many singers has contributed to Avantasia like Kain Hansen (ex-Helloween ex-Gamma Ray), Andre Matos (ex-Angra), Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine (Scorpions) among many others. There's also another side project similar to Avantasia but to me better called" Ayreon" by Arjen Lucassen. You should react to" The day that the world breaks down" official video. There I gave you enough videos to react for a month. Not to mention the huge ass list you guys must have lol.
In my humble opinion you should have viewed Waken 2014 live version of this song. It is literally one of the best executions in live that I’ve ever heard.
16:15 - "I just don't get the part when the guys were frozen". Well, the song is called "The Scarecrow", and scarecrows are figures placed in crop fields to ward off birds... and of course, they're motionless. So I guess it makes sense that they wanted to portray scarecrows during the guitar solos, right? Great reaction, btw!
But seriously, if you guys ever react to Ayreon this video would be perfect as its the opening track of their latest album AND it gives insight into the guest vocalists that are featured on the album and the process of the making of the album all at the same time. th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.html
Guys hi there :) I havent find any review of urs on songs by Symphony X (From New Jersey), for me, the best band in the style! You can begin by the albuns 'V- The New Mithology Suite' and 'Odissey', then you get to the album 'Divine Wings of Tragedy ' and the ones released afterwards :) thanks a lot! It is an amazing band which I am a huge fan since 1999!
Please check Avantasia - The Seven Angels. If you think this is great... Farewell was my introduction to Avantasia like about 10 years ago and they have blown my mind... By the way: Avantasia is not a band. It is more like a music project where people from different bands come and play.
In Wacken, btw., you are able to get quite good to the front row because there are no seperated sections where have to get an extra controlled entrance. It get can get pretty tight in front of the stage but even with bands like Rammstein i found always a way to get to the front. And you are definitely not that much over the average age of the visitors at Wacken. You can have it quite comfortable there even with a few years more on your back.
btw. if you have some free time over the next days, there are some live streams from this year's Wacken Open Air :) www.wacken.com/en/news/news/news-detail/wacken-open-air-2018-live-stream/
Finally some love for Avantasia. This is rock/metal opera at it's finest, and it's absolutely incredible how many awesome artists have been part of it over the years. Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Dee Snider, Geoff Tate, Biff Byford (Saxon), Bob Catley (Magnum), Michael Kiske (Helloween) and many more make every Avantasia album an adventure in itself. You just need to be aware that some albums belong together thematically if you want to get the most outta this band. For example, their last album "Ghostlights" was thematically a sequel and the conclusion to the predecessor "The Mystery of Time". from this album alone I could recommend nearly every song, my favorite probably being Master of the Pendulum (with co-singer Marco Hietala from Nightwish). Videowise, there's a nice video of an older song "Dying for an Angel" with Klaus Meine.
oh and I forgot about the video for Draconian Love. It's not a real live video but the studio version with footage from a concert in Brazil with the fans really going nuts there. P.S. btw, Trish Stratus is actually Amanda Sommerville, an awesome singer in her own right. She did a collab with Michael Kiske (check out the official vid for "If I had a wish". She also was part of the Project "Exit Eden" where she and other female voices did metal versions of famous pop songs. Cheesy as hell (especially the Backstreet Boys Cover "Incomplete"), but the voices are a blast to listen to.
Oh yeah, Avantasia! As a metal opera, they have a bunch of really good live songs with other artists. The ones with Michael Kiske are pretty good. Other that that, if you like Meat Loaf, you would like the song Mystery of a Blood Red Rose. Of you like Scorpions, he also did a duo with Klaus Meine on Dying for an Angel. Pretty good stuff!
Definitely try out Master of the Pendulum from their Ghostlights album. It has Marco Hietala as the guest vocalist, and as you might expect from Marco, he's amazing, as is the entire song.
Avantasia is such an amazing band :) Saw them 3 times live (2 times a 3 hours concert at their tour for their last 2 albums and 1 time at Wacken 2014 which was 2 hours long) and I loved every second of it! They are such a great live band.... Planning on seeing them this year for the 4th time^^ Every Album is just absolutely incredible! Tobias Sammet is one of the best composers in the whole world and he is such a nice, cool and funny dude as well! While his main band Edguy is more kick ass Power Metal, Avantasia is what he started because he wanted his freedom of doing whatever he likes and it turned out to be the best symphonic metal/ power metal band in all of Germany (Sorry Blind Guardian I love you, but Avantasia a small, tiny bit better in my opinion^^)! All 7 Albums that have been released so far are filled with amazing guitar melodies, great drumming, fast and slow songs, beautiful ballads, epic 10 minute songs and of course great guests like Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Michael Kiske (Helloween, Unisonic), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Biff Byford (Saxon), Jorn Lande, Ronnie Atkins (Pretty Maids), Marco Hietala (Nightwish), etc.... You definitely need to check out more from them! So please react to "Reach out for the Light" which is power metal at it's finest :)
I loved this performance! Both Tobias and Jorn were on point. You should react to the music video Placenta by Tallah. The drummer is the son of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater). It is insane.
The "Trish" is Amanda Somerville, who truly rocks. For more of her in a bigger role, try "City of Heroes" which is a collaboration between her and Michael Kiske. She also has a group called Exit Eden which is a cover group of four female singers doing opera metal covers of pop tunes (think the female equivalent of Northern Kings) Worth checking her work out.
Jorn sign Amazing I saw in live the full show is amazing. I will like to see react to more Power Metal, I will recommend Cain's Offering with Constellation of Tears
Although Jorn Lande doesn't hit quite the high notes Tobi hits, there's just something about his voice that's contagious. Very 80s style but totally unique at the same time 🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
Damn I read this as 'Atavistia' and my heart stopped. Still, love this song and it's a great video this. But remember... Atavistia - One within the Sun lyric video. Canadian Wintersun.
You should be doing Edguy - Tears of a Mandrake or Babylon or Mysteria. Its the official band of Tobias Sammet, Lead singer and composer of this metal opera.
![Avantasia - The Raven Child (Lyric Video) [Reaction/Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ht8vzcSvwCw/mqdefault.jpg)
React to Seven Angels from Avantasia. This will blow you to smithereenes
Yeah, that song is from another dimension...
;)
Yeah👍
Avantasia is probably based on a combination of Fantasia and Avalon.
Been following Sammet since his debut with Edguy. Great artist and a huge inspiration for all things powermetal.
And Jørn Lande is the best voice in metal and hard rock today in my opinion, just amazing. Proud to be norwegian:)
Thanks for yet a great reaction, this channel is gold!
Starting this channel was a great idea, on all levels, and you guys make it so much fun.
A&P-REACTS as you know, I didn't care for reaction videos until you guys came along. You're the real deal.
Please check out Jorn - I walk alone
Jørn Lande is the blonde longhaired guy who sings everyones ass off in this Avantasia video. One of the greatest voices in todays scene.
Cheers from norway!
Speaking of Norway....Norwegian doubleheader tomorrow two bands we haven't checked out yet.
A&P-REACTS which bands?:) looking forward to it!
A&P-REACTS
Norwegian doubleheader?? Great, looking forward to it!
Btw.. I support that Jørn Lande have one the best voices in hardrock/metal !!! 🇳🇴👍😀
Avantasia is a project by tobias sammet in which he brings together a bunch of amazing artists to create a "metal opera".

Their stuff is a real gem and they're coming out with a new album in early 2019.
For song suggestions, it doesnt matter what you pick, this band can do no wrong. Wicked symphony, runaway train, the tower, ghostlights, let the storm descend upon you, lucifer, farewell, seven angels....there's so much amazing stuff
"this band can do no wrong" TRUE
Definitely react to "Let the Storm Descend Upon You" from the Ghostlights album. It's lengthy at 12 minutes, but it's so worth it!
yes, the whole album is incredible :)
Yes, please! Favorite song ever.
One of the most amazing metal songs ever indeed!
We need more Avantasia here in the channel !!
I LOVE these guys, Avantasia is an amazing project by Tobias Sammet, who's the leader, composer and the main vocalist of Avantasia (also leader, writer and singer of Edguy), he's a brilliant artist and very funny man too.

I really recommend the song Queen of the Dead by his work with Trond Holter, the whole album "Dracula" is fantastic, but this one is my favorite.
That was the first time you reacted to Avantasia? omg! I had no idea! Please do Seven Angels or the Tower or just every other song :O
Their guest musician Jorn Lande also sings the songs for Pentakill. A fictive band from the game legaue of legends, I really love their songs because of his vocals. He's awesome!
You guys should keep doing Avantasia video's. It's Tobias (the singer) from Edguy's "solo" project. Always using an all star lineup of musicians and singers.

One more, because Bob Catley's fucking awesome :) th-cam.com/video/XosoVg3suR0/w-d-xo.html
Bob
I've outgrown those first albums, but that's probably because I'm getting older. 42 years, that's about 30 years of metal...
@@johanvanoppen1627 Ummm, how do you outgrow Metal??? I'm older. I've listened to Rock & Metal since I turned 8 years old. It never gets old!
Aww thank you! Awesome you did this! And I'm happy you liked it!
We want more Avantasia & Edguy reacts! :)
This is like the entire age of classic heavy metal crammed into one song. Love it and I'm not even a metal head.
Oliver Hartmann, John Lande and Tobias they own god damn
So happy you guys finally checked out my favorite band. Yes, staring in awe is a normal reaction to seeing this video for the first time. It's such a great song, and this live version is so good. Avantasia is not only a band, but also a metal opera project.

This song however has the same singers studio and live. It's a must-play at every concert.
Other Avantasia songs I would recommend would be:
The Seven Angels (my first Avantasia song)
Let The Storm Descend Upon You (my personal favorite)
Farewell
Savior In The Clockwork
Stargazers
The Wicked Symphony
Runaway Train
Sign of the Cross
The Great Mystery
Journey To Arcadia
What Kind Of Love
and pretty much every song, but you'd be better off just listening to the full albums to get the full effect of the stories. I remember when I was just getting into Avantasia and listened to a bunch of songs out of order and some of them confused me as to what was going on. But then I finally realized I had to listen to the full albums and suddenly it was all clear. I could keep going on forever, but I'll stop here. Congratulations for reading this far haha.
The second singer that came in is Jorn. JORN LANDE.
Checkout and react to his solo stuff, but also his stuff in Allen & Lande.
He will blow your mind away.
The dude has incredible pipes.
Roy Andersen allen lande is a masterpiece of metal
Tonny Eduardo Varela
Sure is, they have many great albums under their belt.
And don't forget Masterplan. The Debut is epic!!
And not to forget, what he did with the band Ark, progressive metal from norway.
"Stand in the back, check out some merch, listen to the band..." Sounds just like me - at 53, it is a young man's game. Excellent performance. Never heard of this band before either but I'll be checking out more of their stuff. Well done guys.
I am 40 but my body has not aged gracefully
Glad you guys found them they are one of my favourite artists although you can also check out Tobias Sammet's main band - Edguy as well. Avantasia was a side project that grew and grew. Where do I start for Suggestions for next Avantasia song.... Dyin' for an Angel feat. Klaus Meine, Toymaster feat. Alice Cooper and anything else from the Scarecrow album
To much late reacting to them, i listened this song 10 years ago AND still my favorite song .
They are amazing.......live.
🇲🇽 Loves them.
What a wonderful surprize!!! Avantasia is a great proiect with many great players, Michael Kiske (Helloween) is one of them!! Check out please Rich out of the light !! A shorter and speedy track, great!! Surprize
Check out both Metal Opera albums by Avantasia. Both are masterpieces. Also both Keeper albums of Helloween go in this direction.
Eu tive o prazer de vê-los ao vivo no Brasil, e é simplesmente incrível o que esses dois fazem com a voz. Aliás, Avantasia ao vivo foi uma das melhores coisas que já ouvi na vida. Som de alta qualidade.
Obrigada pelo vídeo!
I have been waiting for this review for ages! Let's see how you react.
Edit: Now time for the other 10min epics:
The Wicked Symphony
Stargazers
The Great Mystery
Saviour in the Clockwork
Let the Storm Descend Upon You
and my personal favourite Blizzard On A Broken Mirror;
so that you can move to the main mind behind Avantasia's original band Edguy and do some more songs, including the 10min The Piper Never Dies. Just make sure you hear Avantasia - Draconian Love with Herbie Langhans from Sinbreed.
YES! YES! YES! Finally! Now you only have around ten more albums to go through, and around one hundred songs that are all great! :) Great reaction guys, love you! I know I don't comment alot because of my hands, but now and then I must... Thanks!!! Another great song to react to would be Master of the Pendulum with Marco Hietala on guest vocals.
Avantasia not JUST a band,it's a project of lead singer of the band Edguy (Tobias Samet) with a lot of famous SINGERS and MUSICANS from diferent bands. Vocals from Claus Maine,Byff Byford, JORN, Kai Hansen,Michael Kiske,Tim Owen Ripper,Samanta Sommervile,Oliver Hartman,Alice Cooper,Criss Oliva OH comon u should listem to them more \m/
I've never seen a better performance of any song ever. Blows me away every time.
For the future Avantasia reactions, you may go even more epic. From the previous album The Metal Opera Pt. 2 and its opening track, a 14-minute epic The Seven Angels with vocal talents along Tobias Sammet, Michael Kiske, David DeFeis, Rob Rock, Oliver Hartmann, Andre Matos and Kai Hansen...
There may not be a live version from it. At least all the versions I have seen or heard has been as part of a medley with Sign of the Cross from the first Metal Opera adding only the chorus of Seven Angels to the end.
And by the way "Trish Stratus" is in this case Amanda Somerville.
I know there's a full Seven Angels video from Chile 2013, but it's filmed with somebody's phone in the audience. Not great quality, but if you're a hardcore fan you'll probably like it anyway.
Jari Kallio They played the whole song on the 2013/14 tour.
Great vid!!!... This is one of the best live shows i've seen and own it on DVD... Thats becasue i love this band and Tobias Sammet and its just a spectacle, i dont know how they pull off shows this huge and amazing quality...again, great job!!!
More Avantasia please!! Farewell (The Flying Opera Live)
Tobias Sammeth is the mastermind behind Avantasia he's also the vocalist of Edguy a power metal band. You should react to the" Pharaoh" from said band live from Burning down the Opera DVD. The second singer with Tobias is Jorn Lande he's being a singer to Masterplan another German power metal band you should react to" time to be king" lyric video by said band. Jorn also has a side project with Symphony X's Russell Allen called" Allen Lande". He also has a few solo albums. One called" heavy rock radio" it's him singing covers by other bands.
Graven Wolf and all of them sings on Arjens albums...contribution between them is amazing
I really like them. The melody and chorus are fantastic. The vocals are great! Great instrumentation............ /m\
I can truly relate to your comments about back pains during festivals; even as a young guy you're not really excluded from that^^ Speaking from personal experiences, it's the one thing which can truly diminish your joy of the experience. I once had the pleasure to witness an event in Trier (Germany) in 2007 where two tour groups merged together to the following line-up: Immolation, Dying Fetus, Krisiun, Grave, Skinless and Cattle Decapitation (and a couple of opening bands). It was probably my best ever pure "concert" in terms of quality but damn did I have back pains after it (even though I was only 17 at the time) ;)
Awesome reaction, I love your enthusiam for music so very much!
You mentioned having to wait all day in front of the stage in order to score a place in the first row... well, see, this is what makes Wacken special: they have 2 main stages right next to each other, they are played alternately. Which means when one stage is being played on, the other one is empty and people can gather in front of it in anticipation of the next band. I've been to Wacken 3 times and was always able to see my favourite bands (Avantasia being one of them in 2008) from at least the first 5 rows.
Avantasia are really good. They have plenty of excellent songs such as reach out for the light, the tower, twisted mind, let the storm descend upon us, ghostlights, runnaway train, invoke the machine,...
Awesome reaction guys, and an amazing performance as well! If you wanna check out more Avantasia, I would definately say that you should check the song "Farewell" out :) Other than that, you know that I am looking forward for the "Lost to apathy" with Dark Tranquillity, since they will for sure play that song on the concert you are going to.
Cheers,
William
Since we're here, you should go check out the song Out of Control - Edguy ft Hansi Kursch (Blind Guardian). Right up the alley here and epic (recorded version, not sure if there is a live version with Hansi?)
I believe it's the song that made Tobias start Avantasia!
Another favourite of mine! Thx guys! Yeah don't forget to check out more Avantasia or any other project of Tobias or Jorn. Cheers!
Farewell will always be a favorite Avantasia song
A great song to review from Avanatasia is Master of the Pendulum which also has Marco Hietala as guest star
I cried when I saw this for the first time...epic show
Love you guys. I found this site, because of Faith No More. When will you guys do another Mike Patton song? Surprised you chose that song, but love the passion. The best part of your channel is obviously your relationship. If I ever have a kid I hope to have that kind of relationship. Thank you, for loving good music and passing it on.
Jorn Lande is such a great guy. He's done a few Dio covers as well.
The title track from their latest album Ghostlights, is pretty good. it features Michael Kiske (Helloween) on vocals, one of many guest vocalists that perform with Avantasia. Kiske is practically a regular though, as well as Jorn Lande who appeared on this song.
Please do Avantasia Sign of the cross
Its my favourite song by them
Nice one! I really like that you also take your Time to watch longer stuff too. And this is a good one. I like how we can see you completele going with the Song. Go on like this:-)
I think you may have set a world record on how deep into metal one can go without encountering Avantasia! I would understand if you were allergic to symphonic power metal, but you seem to love the stuff :D
Anyways nice to see this finally!
Allergic......LOL!!!!
Two great songs by Avantasia that you should certainly check out are The Seven Angels or Let The Storm Descend Upon You or just any of their songs in fact.
I have been waiting for you to react to this and you absolutely delivered! Was waiting the whole time to see how you would react to those sweet melodic guitar solos :D The whole live DVD is full of amazing songs but my other favourites are Another Angel Down (with the same heavy metal viking singing aka Jorn Lande), I Don't Believe in Your Love (the bald guitar guy aka Oliver Hartmann is singing in this one) and Story Ain't Over (which has the coolest heavy metal granpa ever, singing absolutely amazing aka Bob Catley).
Avantasia has surprisingly good catalogue of great songs starting from first album to this day. Let the Storm Descend Upon You from the newest album actually really blew me away as I thought that Tobias could never compose another Scarecrow level 10-minute supersong, but gladly I was wrong. Of course the power metal songs featuring Michael Kiske are absolute joy to listen too. You will drown in suggestions anyway so I just end this by saying that watching you reacting and especially finding new artists which you really seem to like is really fun to watch and you always bring smile to my face. Keep rockin'! \m/(-_-)\m/
If any Avantasia song, it should be Reach Out For The Light, there is awesome live video from wacken where Michael Kiske joins band as well. And hey, greetings from Finland! Great job guys with your react videos! :)
Check Edguy guys. The main band of Tobias. Vain Glory Opera Live.
You can get to the front :), the stage set up is pretty good there.
Going to see them in May.
Avantasia is awesome stuff, album after album after album with almost no songs at all that will even slightly disappoint
Next from Avantasia: Reach out for the Light, live in Waken 1008 too \m/
Jorn Lande is awesome! Incredible!
Sammet also appears on the last album of Ayreon. It's another really great metal opera. More progressive oriented. 'The Day that the World Breaks Down' is an amazing piece.
Glad you liked it, just checkout the other Avantasia & Edguy songs :)
I would completely recommend Avantasia - Savior In The Clockwork
Many singers has contributed to Avantasia like Kain Hansen (ex-Helloween ex-Gamma Ray), Andre Matos (ex-Angra), Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine (Scorpions) among many others. There's also another side project similar to Avantasia but to me better called" Ayreon" by Arjen Lucassen. You should react to" The day that the world breaks down" official video. There I gave you enough videos to react for a month. Not to mention the huge ass list you guys must have lol.
In my humble opinion you should have viewed Waken 2014 live version of this song. It is literally one of the best executions in live that I’ve ever heard.
Avantasia is amazing! Listen another angel down in the same show
16:15 - "I just don't get the part when the guys were frozen". Well, the song is called "The Scarecrow", and scarecrows are figures placed in crop fields to ward off birds... and of course, they're motionless. So I guess it makes sense that they wanted to portray scarecrows during the guitar solos, right?
Great reaction, btw!
Que temaso Dios mío 💪🏻💪🏻
I can't believe you did Avantasia before doing Ayreon :(
Now you HAVE to do Ayreon :)
Is this like doing anal before traditional intercourse?
Exactly!
But seriously, if you guys ever react to Ayreon this video would be perfect as its the opening track of their latest album AND it gives insight into the guest vocalists that are featured on the album and the process of the making of the album all at the same time.

Guys hi there :) I havent find any review of urs on songs by Symphony X (From New Jersey), for me, the best band in the style! You can begin by the albuns 'V- The New Mithology Suite' and 'Odissey', then you get to the album 'Divine Wings of Tragedy ' and the ones released afterwards :) thanks a lot! It is an amazing band which I am a huge fan since 1999!
Avantasia - The Tower, perfect Avantasia song.
Please check Avantasia - The Seven Angels. If you think this is great... Farewell was my introduction to Avantasia like about 10 years ago and they have blown my mind...
By the way:
Avantasia is not a band. It is more like a music project where people from different bands come and play.
It's worth buying the whole album, actually every Avantasia album (7 so far) have very good quality.
for me one of the best Metal Ballads ever
I told you these guys are amazing :-D
Just started the video and gotta say, the singer's got a Steven Tyler thing going on.
he definitely does xD
In Wacken, btw., you are able to get quite good to the front row because there are no seperated sections where have to get an extra controlled entrance. It get can get pretty tight in front of the stage but even with bands like Rammstein i found always a way to get to the front. And you are definitely not that much over the average age of the visitors at Wacken. You can have it quite comfortable there even with a few years more on your back.
btw. if you have some free time over the next days, there are some live streams from this year's Wacken Open Air :)
www.wacken.com/en/news/news/news-detail/wacken-open-air-2018-live-stream/
Finally some love for Avantasia. This is rock/metal opera at it's finest, and it's absolutely incredible how many awesome artists have been part of it over the years. Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Dee Snider, Geoff Tate, Biff Byford (Saxon), Bob Catley (Magnum), Michael Kiske (Helloween) and many more make every Avantasia album an adventure in itself. You just need to be aware that some albums belong together thematically if you want to get the most outta this band. For example, their last album "Ghostlights" was thematically a sequel and the conclusion to the predecessor "The Mystery of Time". from this album alone I could recommend nearly every song, my favorite probably being Master of the Pendulum (with co-singer Marco Hietala from Nightwish). Videowise, there's a nice video of an older song "Dying for an Angel" with Klaus Meine.
oh and I forgot about the video for Draconian Love. It's not a real live video but the studio version with footage from a concert in Brazil with the fans really going nuts there.
P.S. btw, Trish Stratus is actually Amanda Sommerville, an awesome singer in her own right. She did a collab with Michael Kiske (check out the official vid for "If I had a wish". She also was part of the Project "Exit Eden" where she and other female voices did metal versions of famous pop songs. Cheesy as hell (especially the Backstreet Boys Cover "Incomplete"), but the voices are a blast to listen to.
Oh yeah, Avantasia! As a metal opera, they have a bunch of really good live songs with other artists. The ones with Michael Kiske are pretty good. Other that that, if you like Meat Loaf, you would like the song Mystery of a Blood Red Rose. Of you like Scorpions, he also did a duo with Klaus Meine on Dying for an Angel. Pretty good stuff!
I have a few album's, the mystery of time is one I enjoy at this time but there all good albums
Definitely try out Master of the Pendulum from their Ghostlights album. It has Marco Hietala as the guest vocalist, and as you might expect from Marco, he's amazing, as is the entire song.
Avantasia "let the storm descend upon you"
Avantasia is such an amazing band :) Saw them 3 times live (2 times a 3 hours concert at their tour for their last 2 albums and 1 time at Wacken 2014 which was 2 hours long) and I loved every second of it! They are such a great live band.... Planning on seeing them this year for the 4th time^^ Every Album is just absolutely incredible! Tobias Sammet is one of the best composers in the whole world and he is such a nice, cool and funny dude as well! While his main band Edguy is more kick ass Power Metal, Avantasia is what he started because he wanted his freedom of doing whatever he likes and it turned out to be the best symphonic metal/ power metal band in all of Germany (Sorry Blind Guardian I love you, but Avantasia a small, tiny bit better in my opinion^^)!
All 7 Albums that have been released so far are filled with amazing guitar melodies, great drumming, fast and slow songs, beautiful ballads, epic 10 minute songs and of course great guests like Alice Cooper, Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Michael Kiske (Helloween, Unisonic), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Biff Byford (Saxon), Jorn Lande, Ronnie Atkins (Pretty Maids), Marco Hietala (Nightwish), etc.... You definitely need to check out more from them! So please react to "Reach out for the Light" which is power metal at it's finest :)
I loved this performance! Both Tobias and Jorn were on point. You should react to the music video Placenta by Tallah. The drummer is the son of Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater). It is insane.
I used to be fan of Avantasia, years ago. Some great songs
Next please... Theocracy - The Mirror Of Souls (with lyrics)
The "Trish" is Amanda Somerville, who truly rocks. For more of her in a bigger role, try "City of Heroes" which is a collaboration between her and Michael Kiske. She also has a group called Exit Eden which is a cover group of four female singers doing opera metal covers of pop tunes (think the female equivalent of Northern Kings)
Worth checking her work out.
She could German suplex me any day of the week.
Ahh Jorn Lande! I suggest you listen "Masterplan - Spirit Never Die" or some of his solo stuff
Ex Deo - "I, Caligvla" or "The Roman". Roman themed melodeath with Kataklysm vocalist
Please can you react to "Kurenai" by X Japan, live from "The Last Live".
Jorn sign Amazing I saw in live the full show is amazing.
I will like to see react to more Power Metal, I will recommend Cain's Offering with Constellation of Tears
If you guys like this song u guys should check out “runaway train” the LP version 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Although Jorn Lande doesn't hit quite the high notes Tobi hits, there's just something about his voice that's contagious. Very 80s style but totally unique at the same time 🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
Can you guys react Adept plz one of my all time favourite bands! :)
Guys, check it out the other band from Tobias Sammet, Edguy. Try Mysteria.
