What a great interview. I actually deliberately avoid any posts about a show before I go, because being surprised by aspects of it is part of the delight for me - I just want to bask in the live experience if I'm privileged enough to be there. I do think we sometimes live in a too accessible time and people want to film and post everything online, so I get what Arjen's saying.
At 13:20 I had that moment with Britney. Avoided all possible spoilers and just went to the show vanilla. When she entered the stage, I was so excited!
It is a bit sad indeed that that kind of live show magic is disappearing with people posting content everywhere (I've done it too, not passing the blame) when people just be immersed in the moment...
A great interview, the signed audiobook has arrived. We can't wait for the concert planned for next year. It will be our 5th concert of Ayreon Live. It was a great week in Tilburg last year, and definitely worth a visit. So Joost and Arjen please start by giving us a glimpse of what happened.
@@BelgianJasper electric castele, Damian Wilson was outside before the concert in his knight costume and had a chat with the Ayreon fans and had his picture taken. Arjen Lucassen himself stood inside looking at how many fans were there and threw his hands to his head in disbelief. And yes whe where lucky to tickets because they go really fast.
Thank you for the interview! Sorry you couldn't make it to that show 😢 I'm glad Arjen is featuring Zora Cock on the album, I hope I get to see him finally working with Charlotte Wessels one day
Can't wait for his solo album since it is the one I don't have yet. Transitus is a great Ayreon album, the Simone Simons album is a must have and Plan 9 will be a blast live....
Great interview, always a pleassure to listen to Arjen. I`m counting the days `till my BD arrives. I would love to see Transitus in a theater (with lasers and pyro)
Arjen said 'Transitus' was not very well received by the fans, so I doubt he will do a whole show of it. The Universal Migrator' would be the natural next album to do.

Thanks for sharing that comment! Is there one show you've been to that really stands out for you?
I for one would watch Transitus live with “ill-fitting” fireworks and lasers 😂😂
Totally! I mean, to bring the Transitus supernatural world to life some lasers wouldn't hurt 👊😉

A few days, and then my Live Beneath The Waves album arrives, and Plane 9 also..
I'am looking forward to it. 72 years old, but still keep on rockin' 😎
great news indeed. We hope of course for new shows, but having them confirmed is great. can't wait for the announcement.
Exactly! Have you been to an Ayreon show before?
@@BelgianJasper Yes, it's become a tradition with my eldest now. Electric Castle and 01011001. missed the first ones.
@@mymemeplex that's awesome!!

That's amazing! What was your favorite show so far?

@@mportal1753 that's amazing!!
I want to see Arjen and Douglas Docker do a project together !!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Arjen seems like a genuinely nice human being.
He absolutely is!
Thank you for the interview! Sorry you couldn't make it to that show 😢
I'm glad Arjen is featuring Zora Cock on the album, I hope I get to see him finally working with Charlotte Wessels one day
I have a feeling that won't take too long 🤔👊☺️
01011001 is my favorite Ayreon album.
Same!! What's your favorite song on that album?
Thank you for this interview. I loved it!
Glad you liked it! How do you like the new Live album? Lots of content with Arjen on the channel btw 👊😉
wish I could sing to an Ayreon record someday
Can't wait for his solo album since it is the one I don't have yet. Transitus is a great Ayreon album, the Simone Simons album is a must have and Plan 9 will be a blast live....
🤘🤘🤘🤘 lots of fun stuff to look forward for!
27:45 Well, that secret solo album for a famous singer is great.
@@Gxost14 agreed 👊😁
Great interview as always! A bit unfortunate timing so you missed talking about the album with Simone Simons.
Yeah, Arjen was not allowed to talk about it yet 🤷♂️
@s1mperadicator13 on February 23rd to be exact :)
Thank you for tickling the news out of Arjen 😁
@@svenjensen9770 👊😅
THE Tall Hippie Dude!
Nice, he said 'shows next year' :) (at 27:10)
He sure did! What album do you hope he'll focus on?
@@BelgianJasper Universal Migrator part 1 & 2 are my favs!
@@galberts they're definitely up there for me, especially Part 2!
Great interview, always a pleassure to listen to Arjen.

Awesome! 🤘🤘🤘

I hope pools of sorrow gets released more than just at the show.
My wallet outch. Because of course I have to get the special edition
There's gonna be a lot of Arjen releases coming indeed! Which one are you most excited about?
Strange he not mentioned he worked on debut solo album of Simone Simons
It's the one in the end he mentioned not being allowed to talk about 🤷♂️
@@BelgianJasper So must be recorded not yesterday.
@@Micha-th8fb oh yeah in most cases interviews are recorded weeks before they are published, this one late February even
