maybe for his songs cause I dont think he would pull a keeper of the seven keys like kiske would but neither kiske could nail songs of kai hansen like he did maybe only how many tears but yeah Phenomenal voice
***** In fact thats way better than trying to keep the high notes like Timo Kotipelto, who now cant even sing with the song tuned down. So cheers for Kai, to me the best singer, it's not the best voice but I love it i dont know why, and despite of that the passion he has and the amazing stories he sings just makes him the greatest power metal singer ever.
Also diese Version von Ride the Sky grenzt für mich schon an Perfektion. Egal ob die beiden Gitarristen, der Bassist, der Schlagzeuger oder eben auch der Gesang von Kai. Absoluter Wahnsinn. Weltklasse!!!!!
How I like the way that Kai Hansen is always smiling and enjoying everytime he sings or plays guitar! Seeing him makes me smile and enjoy the moment too! :D :D :D
How is it that this drummer, Falko Reshoft, isn't more famous?! He is a pure machine on those drums :o I think Helloween should hire him, now that he isn't with Stormwarrior anymore
that's an incredibly good idea as this guys drumming is as close to Ingo's as I've ever heard. only I would take it one step further.... helloween should fire Deris, namely because he's awful, and convince Kai to join back on lead guitar and maybe even get Kiske on vocals again. I love Gamma Ray but it seems that kai could use a good change up, their last album or two were just mehhh. I miss old school Halloween :(
@117599807373214935555 Agreed. I too get some Ingo-vibes when I listen to this guy's drumming. He would fit the band much better than their current drummer Dani. And you are right. It seems like kai needs something new, and that new could be working with Michael Weikath again! Those two have written so many great tracks together, and they compliment each other so well on the composing, Kai with his rough and powerful riffs, combined with Weikath's melodic and melancholic style -Imagine if they got together and wrote something like "Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Defining". I likes Keeper Legacy, but I don't think you can finish the Keeper-saga without both Kai & Weikath ;) I would love to see Kiske returning as well, as long as he can accept that Kai & Weikath are running things. I liked Andi in the past, and I think he contributed well in the 90s and early 00s, but he is loosing his voice now, and drags Helloween down with him :/
***** I think Dani Löble is a fantastic drummer, but the reason I don't like him for Helloween, is that his style is simply too far away from Ingo & Kusch's. He plays the older songs completely wrong, and it's clear that he cannot adapt to them. Dani is too much of a machine on drums, he isn't fluent enough, and it takes so much power away from many of the songs :o Now, about Kai: I have never stated that he has stopped drinking. I've said that Weikath has cut down on the alcohol, while Deris is drinking too much :/
Between 4:25 and 4:50 min, Kai supervises and gives explicit support to his guitarists! Not only are you a musical genius but also a great person ... Grande Hansen !!
Ride the Sky hace explotar mi ser. Cada parte de mí enloquece ante la magia del Metal. El Metal en nuestros corazones por siempre. Larga vida hermanos!!!
Simplemente extraordinario no hay duda que Kai Hansen canta mejor sin la guitarra pero estos guitarristas supieron darle ese power que solo Kai le da incluso se da el lujo de supervisarlos mientras tocan, hasta el baterista es tan bueno que parecía una máquina demoledora como lo era Ingo.
@@altrn0 Y es que se les nota la influencia que tienen de Helloween, incluso rayando con sonar casi parecido, pero no se puede negar que StormWarrior es muy buena banda.
Yenz Leonhardt on bass. Also known for his work as Yenz Cheyenne as vocalist and bass player for Denmark's first metal band Brats. After their 1984 album they hired King Diamond. The record company didn't like their new material so they split up. Yenz did Geisha and the album Phantasmagoria while guitarists Michael Denner, Hank Shermann and singer King Diamond created Mercyful Fate. Yenz later had a band called =Y=. Released the album Rawchild. Yenz later played with Kingdom Come, toured with Saxon and was a member of Iron Saviour.
Oh my God. It is so tight. No single note is missing. there is only a few metal bands that can give such a live performane. Iron Maiden, Kreator, Testament, and...
@@JoseHenrique-xg1lp Only janick cause he likes to have fun while playing and do silly moves but still it makes a cool show to watch when he does that stuff
+Silver Shade Wow apparently youtube changes it to this one everytime I try to copy it, I dont know if thats a bug or if its suposed to be like that, wouldnt surprise me if it were intentional coming from youtube... since I cant copy it here you can search for: ride the sky japan, its called "Gamma Ray - Ride the sky (Live in Japan 1990)"
Eledin91, yes TH-cam has many bugs, so maybe that's one of those. Anyway, yes the one you mentioned is great, I love Kai there and often watch it ! I guess you know Helloween Ride the sky Live Eindhoven 1986. The quality is not perfect (30 years ago!) and there are some mistakes (it's a real unedited live ;)) but the performance is great, Kai gives me goosebumps although I must say that in 2008 (when I saw Gamma Ray live) he was still awesome.
Köszönjük Gyula! Egyik kedvencem volt ez a szàm,most igazi csemege ez a variàció szàmomra.Sokszor hallgatom,jó a hang,príma a képminőség,jól nyomják a fiúk,az énekes laza,mégis kivàgja a magas C-t.Nekem ez a Metal!
This is epic. Kai is the only guy who can sing this song. I met him in the early years of helloween. Wonderful guy. Me love storm warrior. When helloween came out they were like full of life and energy. Storm
This performance with Kai was supposed to be released on DVD a few years ago, but it never came to be. I'd love to see the rest of the set, they totally nail this song.
Yeah apparently the footage was destroyed and then the Stormwarrior boys got pissed off because everybody kept asking for the DVD just to see the songs with Kai 🤣
Kai is just such a bad ass. Fantastic work by the band. Just stunning all around. Brought me right back to 1995 or whenever I first heard this. Just a fucking banger.
This is incredible, i grow up with this music, my big brother had "walls of jericho" on vinil, with those awesome covers on it. I miss my childhood listening to this songs. Sorry for my rustic english.
I love the way Kai stands over them during the solos. Like, the master inspecting his apprentices work. You can see he's proud of their work. You have taught them well Mr Hansen!
My god...this...this is so beautiful :') Walls of Jericho was probably one the first metal albuns I've ever really listened and loved, and with Kai singing this good even after all these years and the instrumental sounding absolutely perfect, it can't get much better than this!
read coments from all of you,but nobody say about solo of this amazing guitarist from Stormwarriors,this is simphony for ears,how good sound two guitars,magic of music.
this was like 8 years ago, but hell.. those vocals! he looks so sweet too, especially during the solos :') wonder if he can still sing like that today...
I never thought I'd say this, but Kai kinda looks cool without his guitar. ERR. I totally never want him to be without it - but hey, he makes a good wandering frontman, lol
+Edgar Slam I believe his best live performance without a guitar is on Avantasia's Toy Master. He fucking nails it and he looks awesome with that hat too
Yes, Im tottaly agree with u my friend. To me, kiske was the Best, and Kai has metal in his blood and his heart, but Im thing Deris is not bad at all. I like his style.
This was supposed to be released as a DVD. The whole concert is Stormwarrior covering Walls of Jericho songs. I've been looking for this for years. Please message if you have the rest of the performance. This is the single greastest cover, ever: for me at least, cheers!
KAI CHECKING BOTH GUITARRIST TO SEE IF BOTH DID THEIR SOLO HOMEWORK , PRICELESS, SICK COVER 10
ahah true
Kai Hansen the best Singer of Helloween history to me
maybe for his songs cause I dont think he would pull a keeper of the seven keys like kiske would but neither kiske could nail songs of kai hansen like he did maybe only how many tears but yeah Phenomenal voice
Kai Hansen - one of the handful of metal singers who hasn't lost any of his vocal abilities through many decades.
And don't forget the fact that he's a smoker too.
***** In fact thats way better than trying to keep the high notes like Timo Kotipelto, who now cant even sing with the song tuned down. So cheers for Kai, to me the best singer, it's not the best voice but I love it i dont know why, and despite of that the passion he has and the amazing stories he sings just makes him the greatest power metal singer ever.
darkangelzephyron HE'S USING HACKS
darkangelzephyron yeah wtf this performance was amazing
darkangelzephyron He also GAINED abilities. He can sing melodic now!
I love how he stands there like a boss checking those solos. :D
Like a executive doing quality control, they do a great job by the way
hey, teacher, leave our kids alone ))
After all, he IS the boss. And seems to be very pleased what he´s hearing :-)
I'm pretty sure Kai is dying to have his red flying v at that moment and join the solo with the guys.😎
Master supervisor :D
This has to be the best version of the song! Technically perfect and with Hansen's vocals! Brilliant!
I agree. its faster compared to the original.
I agree
It's true 100%
But first Vocal vers is unbeatable
I think Gamma Ray's Alive 95' is better, with Kai on the guitars too
Also diese Version von Ride the Sky grenzt für mich schon an Perfektion. Egal ob die beiden Gitarristen, der Bassist, der Schlagzeuger oder eben auch der Gesang von Kai. Absoluter Wahnsinn. Weltklasse!!!!!
Das sehe ich auch so!! War damals live dabei und da schon sehr geflasht!! 😃😎
How I like the way that Kai Hansen is always smiling and enjoying everytime he sings or plays guitar! Seeing him makes me smile and enjoy the moment too! :D :D :D
Kai has the spirit of power metal. :)
porque mierda comentas en ingles
Pues por que cree???
Jorgito Doorzep i agree
If I was playing this song and suddenly comes Kai Hansen behind me to watch me play I would scare out of hell
hahaha right man
Hahahaha totally agree with you!
It was like Alex Guth and Lars Ramcke taking the degree examination with the dean of the University!
Gf
Completely agree!!!
lol Kai during the solos is like "ohohoh look at my legacy :D"
+Gabriele Leone Yeee, big power metal daddy :D
+Eryk Gembalik xD Hey it's Marco
***** wtf xD
Yes, playing a Ride the Sky guitar solo with Kai Hansen standing behind your shoulder, no pressure :-)
Pierrick hahaha yes well say :D
STORMWARRIOR is such an underrated band! They deserve much more!
How is it that this drummer, Falko Reshoft, isn't more famous?! He is a pure machine on those drums :o I think Helloween should hire him, now that he isn't with Stormwarrior anymore
+Mickey Holm because double bass isnt hard to do?
@116947211921702478776 Okay I won't start a discussion here, but he can do much more than playing double bass :)

One of the best intro's in metal history🤘🎃

Por último y no menos importante te falto mencionar los años que le a dedicado a lacrimosa
did you guys noticed that his is smiling all the time
Kai is ALWAYS smiling! :-D So yes,I have noticed youre absolutely right about that.
Mihaela Ivanova No, I thought he was crying.
@Paulo Felicio Probably because he's old and can't hit those super high notes anymore without his voice cracking up... still good though. :)
He sang fucking great in this video.
he has always been smiling since the first era of helloween ;)
That drummer is really good. That song is fast
No shit man, the drummer sets a furious pace. This is fucking glorious!
Jon Gold th-cam.com/video/qZX62imOapU/w-d-xo.html
god
Totally agree! He plays like a beast!!! Awesome
Kai Hansen's Voice just gets better and better and better all the time. So many singers of this genre is decaying over the decades but not Kai...WOW
The voice of hansen is so fucking epic here
The sweetest powermetal guitarist ever, he is such a smiling soul!
did you see it?

Hahaha, yeah, thats the truth man!!!

Hahaha, Yes, you´re right...
@@raidkoast You're right
God bless kai hansen the King of power metal 🤘😎
I watch this vid at least twice a week !
The two guitar players are simply amazing!
Kai the leader, the boss
The Father of Power Metal 😎
The king of power metal
He doesn't look comfortable without his guitar, haha.
Wow, most bands need 100% studio to sound this good
NOT Stormwarrior!!!
And i am so full of hope they will FUCK UP Wacken 2023.
This was flawless I must say!
Kai Hansen supervisando los solos xD
Omar Montes de oca tienes toda la razon jajaja
Jajajaja xD 🎸🤟 es que son unicos esos solos.. de mis favoritos por siempre
Ejecutivo haciendo el control de calidad, y los chicos de Stormwarrior hacen un gran trabajo , Kai esta complacido !
jajajaj es cierto, kai hansen maestro
Né kkkkk
Oh my God. It is so tight. No single note is missing. there is only a few metal bands that can give such a live performane. Iron Maiden, Kreator, Testament, and...
yeah but Iron Maiden tends to be sloppy during solos hahaha
@@JoseHenrique-xg1lp only janick gers
@@JoseHenrique-xg1lp Only janick cause he likes to have fun while playing and do silly moves but still it makes a cool show to watch when he does that stuff
He smiled the whole time. That is a sign of somebody who truely LOVES what he does.
The best version of this song!
I fully agree :-)
You cant beat young kai: watch?v=s1_Mnb5CYq8

Jestem po prostu w szoku !mlodzi chlopcy zagrali to wrecz perfekcjonalnie oby takich kapel wiecej w dzisiejszym swiatku
Janusz Kukuczka Pięknie nieprawdaż!
Барабанщик - красава! Да. И остальные музыканты - огонь!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kai Hansen - the half-god of the metal for me, forever. Totally perfect performance since walls of Jericho. Unbeliveable. Voice of metal Universe...
Helloween - Walls of Jericho 1985, Stormwarrior - Rider The Sky With Kai Hansen 2007. Perfect perfomance by kai.
impecable guitar solos!!
DAS WAREN NOCH ZEITEN ALS KAI IN DER ROFA LUDWIGSBURG WAR
KAI HANSEN EINER DER BESTEN SÄNGER DER HEAVYSZENE
Kai Hansen I love you...!!! 🤠🤘🤘🤘🤘
Awsome cover of a very underrated band!!
His whole performance is boss as fuck. He stands and walks around like he was born to do this shit. Beautiful
First time i see Kai singing without his guitar in hands. This is fking awesome
Search for Angra - Temple Of Hate
It's fantastic, his voice returning me to 1985 best metal year!
KAI FUCKING HANSEN! Hail to the God...
RIDE THE SKY !!! one of the best songs off one of the greatest albums ever WALLS OF JERICHO !!!!
personally i think this is the heaviest metal song ever! not deicide, not Nile, this one: Ride the Sky
yeah
Hell yeah
***** this son isla a metal masterpiece its like beethovens 9th symphony un metal music...
Tayo Lorenzana yes well said
The legendary song Kai sang when I was 15 years old and still like to listen to this album. Drummer is good enough, the ultimate carcass
Old times... nostalgy...
Uau!!! Muito tempo que eu não ouvia!!
В 1988 году первый раз в жизни услышал Хеллоуин прошло уже 32 года и я рад, что когда то сделал правильный выбор 🤘🤘🤘
only love and respect for great Kai!!!! and stormwarior..perfect play ;)
Kai hansen amazing
Esta canción siempre ha sido himno del heavy metal genial
read coments from all of you,but nobody say about solo of this amazing guitarist from Stormwarriors,this is simphony for ears,how good sound two guitars,magic of music.
Zlatan: I am God.
Kai: Hold my beer!
incredibly good. I still like it after all these years... ❤
Ten years later this is still fuckin' insane!
Qué calidad de baterista!!!!!!!!!!!!
starlight
There can be only one Kai Hansen! Damn he's got everything. Beauty, melody, high notes, speed and roughness
They nailed the crap out of it. Fucking brilliant !!!
A maior alegria musical foi ver Kai Hansen e Michael Kiske de volta ao Helloween sem a necessidade da saída do Ando Deris.
Speed metal classic!
this was like 8 years ago, but hell.. those vocals! he looks so sweet too, especially during the solos :')
wonder if he can still sing like that today...
I never thought I'd say this, but Kai kinda looks cool without his guitar. ERR. I totally never want him to be without it - but hey, he makes a good wandering frontman, lol
Yeah but he looks uncomfortable and shy without his guitar.
+Edgar Slam I believe his best live performance without a guitar is on Avantasia's Toy Master. He fucking nails it and he looks awesome with that hat too
The solos are sick. Good job guys.
This is perfect as any studio version. Fantastic performance by everyone envolved.
4:26 favorite part
I love the expression in the face of Hansen when he comes close to the guitarrist, and points him like saying: "THIS GUY ROCKS!"
The actual helloween singer is rly acoustic, but Kai has the power metal blood in his veins!
Yes, Im tottaly agree with u my friend. To me, kiske was the Best, and Kai has metal in his blood and his heart, but Im thing Deris is not bad at all. I like his style.
+ricardo vidal Kai made power metal xD
+ricardo vidal yeah, i like helloween at kai hansen 80's era, the true power speed metal band
Kiske and kai lml.
Deris 🙄
Kai was and is the best voice of Helloween.
