Anneke van Giersbergen is the Dutch Godmother and the inspiration for all great female metal frontwomen in the Netherlands and the rest of the symphonic music world : Sharon den Adel, Simone Simons, Floor and her sister Irene Jansen, Charlotte Wessels, Dianne van Giersbergen, ....... and so on.
Always, ALWAYS love Anneke! I saw The Gathering twice back when they were touring to support their album "Home". I even got the band members to all sign my guitar strap, so cool! Anneke was warm and joyful when I met her after the show, she seems to light up a room whenever she's there. Have you guys reacted to "Waking Hour" yet? Same concert, the 25th anniversary (tg25). The message of that song helped me through a tough time. I'd rank it in my top 5 TG songs, maybe even top 3. (P.S., her name, as far as I know, is pronounced like "AH-nuh-ka". Doesn't matter much, but in case you were interested, there it is)
Ik baal nog steeds dat ik dit achteraf pas mee kreeg :(((( Had er heel graag bij willen zijn. Heb The Gathering gelukkig wel een keer gezien op Parkpop in Den Haag❤️ en Agua de Annique in de Melkweg en Anneke met Yori Swaet bij een huiskamerconcert, wat is ze een lief mens
Love how she yells at the end, "Take cover!" The highlights for me about The Gathering ruinging these years are the lyrics. And she usually plays guitar performing this song. Check out the 2007 concert, where there is a stadium full of fans who sing along. At one point during "Saturnine' she stops singing and the audience finishes the song for her...Also, watch the 2005 concert. The song 'Rescue Me' is clearly a love song like no other.
I was part of "the Crowd" that evening, so Thank you! haha The sound at the venue was as great as the final mix you can lisent here. The reason this song and travel sound this good is because she was part of this band. That's why "Always..." is a terrific album too, and The West Pole and Disclosure have great songs in there. Her voice is amaizing, but it sounds waaaay better when she sings with this guys, and when she sings their songs.
I Love how Anneke is always smiling 😃 I think she's cute when she gets flustered. You should checkout her new single Agape or the one before this called Hurricane
nice to see yall have fun to this song! if i ever need to just like take five minutes away from shit and center myself, it's with this song, this video. huge soul power on that stage.
Thanks again Tanis! And thanks Trav&Suz for another enthusiastic first reaction vid for these great artists. Now that's the powerful vowel flexing the fans know her to master and adore her for. And the exquisite swag she had in her all along even before Devin and Arjen helped her develop it after her Gathering years. Whether you call this prog rock or melodic metal, she shows all them 'metal scream queens' how you actually do it, and without the usual dress-up bullshit going with the regular 'power and symph metal'. Her and The Gathering deserve so much more wide spread attention for tracks like this, ... and 'Analog Park', 'Sand and Mercury', 'Black Light District' and 'Probably built in the 50s' and, and ... :^) And yes, this audio recording was very well done. I feel they deserved the best engineers and producers anyway. Love you guys.
Anneke is amazing. I saw her live with Devin Townsend (the Retinal Circus gig) and her performance was absolutely stunning. I personally think her most touching vocal work was with Árstíðir. The album they made together is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. Their rendition of "Danny boy" can make the most hardened people well up
This was a birthday concert of the band. Anneke and all other ex members came back to do this one off celebration of the band. There are some good songs with current singer SILJE as well.
Most Dutch named are pronounced wrong 😶 it is not Annakey but Annekuh and it is not seamone Simmons but Simonuh Seamons. It is not Gloor Jensen but Floor Jaansen. It is not the correct spelling but how you pronounced it. 🌝 just helping

Suzi, I was searching for the right word and she is exquisite. You came up with perfect description of Anneke!
This song is the first song of the BRILLIANT album "Nighttime Birds", you definately have to listen the whole album.

Plus one on the pronunciation. I have heard Anneke pronounce it herself - so I submit that is definitive.
She is an amazing vocalist. Her live "Symphonized" album is even better vocally.
Ordered this album a few months ago while pre-ordering her new album, signed ❤️🤘
I was at this show. I knew it would be the last time to see Anneke with the gathering.

That was some kind of crazy laugh. It started like a woodpecker tapping away, then a snort, and from there it was all over the place. Fun stuff!

You should listen to King for a day form the same show to see how amazing is this band, even without her.
Lucky!

Probably the best video reaction beginning ever! 🤣
Love this song! The live version from Bizarre Festival in 2000 is even better. 'Marooned' from the same show too.
nice to see yall have fun to this song! if i ever need to just like take five minutes away from shit and center myself, it's with this song, this video. huge soul power on that stage.
The audio is taken from the live CD, so mastered in the studio.

Metal Pink Floyd
Pls make reaction Pentagram a.k.a Mezarkabul . Heavy metal band from Istanbul, Turkey
React to Leaves, their best song...
their best song is "Monsters" sorry....I love The Gathering
Going by the numerous comments I saw by now I feel almost half of their repertoire with Anneke can be considered 'best song' to many. :^)
@@antoniocarlin5026 Probably Built in the Fifties is easily their best song.
Anneke is always great, not that this version is bad but the guitar lacks some of the original heavyness
Not Ay-neee-keee. Its, Ah-Neh-Kuh
react to shitstorm by Strapping young lad
