Chordplay - The Chords Of Helloween

[@Icedsymphony7]

My favourite riff by them is 'where the rain grows' the main riff is powerful killer lesson dave as always

[@wwg1wga499]

I met the singer & 2 ofthe guitar players in Vegas. I was there for my Bday @ Mandalay Bay and they played a show in Vegas. I ran into one of the guitar players (Kai) in the elevator & ended up hanging out w them by the pool for about 3 hours until they hadd to go to soundcheck. Got some great stories & pics, what a great show! Great band, very cool guys to me.

I can't believe you were not familiar with Helloween. I pretty much dedicated my early teenage years in the late 80s to listening to Helloween, Queensryche, Accept, Motley Crue etc.

[@joeybegnomebino-rama1831]

The best guitar teacher on KZbin ! Thanks !

[@tammz123]

Hi David, thanx for doing Time Of The Oath, one of my songs ;) you really nailed it bro, great job!!!!! i watched many videos already here from you, i love your work, cheers Roland

[@zozwoz]

Been one of my favourite bands since 1986. Rage, Blind Guardian, Kreator , Accept just to name a few. Germany has some amazing metal bands.

[@davidbaron8330]

Keeper part 1 is a classic.

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Indeed but I think 2 is better.

[@fmcatfishchamp]

Keep it coming with Helloween. They are the most underrated heavy band from this era (honorable mentions to Savatage and Leatherwolf). Thanks for what you do. I love your channel.

[@4572dk]

Germany is such a powerhouse for metal. Scorpions, Helloween, Kreator, Sodom, Accept etc.

[@metalzonemt-2]

You should check out Running Wild and Warlock.

[@glaucosouza1971]

[@scottdunn2178]

Blind Guardian

[@tombley8731]

Brainstorm & Vanden Plas too!

[@mamo9389]

And don't forget Godfather Kai with his band Gamma Ray 🙂

[@sacredgodslayer]

Dave, you should check "Gamma Ray", the band that Kai Hansen formed after leaving Helloween

[@fearlessfrankie6479]

Yeah I saw them! There very good!

[@ToddGillespie1977]

Kai Hansen is the most underrated metal guitarist!

[@rubicon-oh9km]

Is there anything this man can't play? Best player I've seen on the Tube.

[@frankpaws]

Very cool. I remember Helloween and just about 6 months ago a song popped back in my head and listened to their records again.

[@Mudder1310]

Power metal has that sort of epic, heroic feel. Eagle Fly Free and I Want Out are great examples. Thanks for the lesson, Kai Hansen has been a fave for a long time, Michael Kiske often overlooked singer.

[@J24777]

Awesome David!!! Glad you got Helloween!!!! They always have Great Riffs! And Songs!

[@mamo9389]

Dave, I was one of the guys wishing for Helloween (or Gamma Ray) about a week ago. This morning it felt almost like...well not Halloween... but Christmas when I saw your newest episode was about The Chords of Helloween :-) imo it's a great band worth looking into and I see now that you felt the same. Thank you so much!

[@kevinharrington4009]

Excellent Content from a band i enjoyed as a teen! I'm psyched to revisit them.

[@jamesclough2638]

Excellent. Very nice. Thanks

[@barrybrower7610]

Awesome lesson ! You are by far the best guitar teacher on KZbin ! Never boring, always new and great material ! (And a very talented guitar player) Thanks for all your videos ! \m/ \m/

[@stevejohnson2284]

Wow, was a Jr. in high school when Helloween came out in 84. Brings back fun memories. Thanks

[@KyunghweeChoi]

One of my favorite bands from 80s...they sorta fell off my radar in mid 90s after Master of the Rings album. I did see them a few of years ago live & it was a great show, mostly playing tunes from KOTSK era. If I remember correctly, I think they opened with Eagle Fly Free. Nice to see LNL Chordplay on them!

[@brownholecharles]

Kai Hansen is musical genius no doubt about it .. their best work was the 80's-90's Kiske era with Hansen.. love your videos man .. what a wealth of knowledge you have

[@ollid.5590]

Love this lesson!

[@tat2dlukydevl]

Great lesson!! You never disappoint.. Thanks for sharing. peAce

[@LowdenOs]

You just brought back my teenage days in a split second 👍🤘I just realized I still know all the lyrics of Keeper 1, must have seen them 5 times or so back in day. Thanks David, you‘re the best!!!

[@fivestring65ify]

Halloween is like a German version of Iron Maiden, except heavier. I'm glad you checked this band out. They have some incredible songs. Kia Hansen is an amazing guitar player. Mike Kiske is a killer vocalist. Even though they left the band years ago, they rejoined in 2018. Their set at Wacken is unbelievable. Love these guys. I was hooked the first time I saw the video of I want out. They keep getting better.

[@JeBrown101]

Welcome to Helloween (and excellent lesson!)! So many gems in their catalog. Enjoy your exploration

[@jigamac71]

thank you for this, very inspiring, it gave me some great new ideas to try in my playing! , wishing you the best and looking forward to your vids

[@Dee-KV3]

Thanks for the video and greetings from Hamburg 🇩🇪

[@fredericadda]

Funny, when you tell you are not really familiar with Helloween, it reminds me the difference in popularity in bands here in Europe and in the US. As a German band they were immensely popular in Europe (much more than Dokken for instance) and had a large number of offsprings like Blind Guardian or Edguy. For the record, in the "Walls of Jericho album, Kai Hansen (one of the 2 guitarists) is singing, but after it's Michael Kiske. Kai left after the Keeper of the Seven Keys albums and founded Gamma Ray. Michael Kiske left in 1993 and was replaced by Andi Deris.

[@transparent6748]

Kind of the same never listen to their music ...always saw Helloween popping up in German music magazine’s 80s..like..” metal hammer “..thanks for another fantastic upload..and happy Halloween over there from Denmark 🎃🍺

[@invisiblegraveyard4742]

Bloody Brilliant!

[@scottdunn2178]

Power Metal: Up-tempo, fast, lots of double bass drums, uplifting, positive lyrics. A lot of laymen confuse Power Metal with Speed Metal, but to me, they're two different animals.

[@iganpparamarta8813]

Please tell me the differences. IMO even the bands themselves don’t know what genre they’re playing. From your definition Helloween can be either speed or power metal band. Depending on which songs we listen to.

[@mykecasper4026]

Speed metal is like agent steel..anything with thrash beats and ripping vocals is speed metal...Flotsam, powermad ,Anthrax even tho the first two were power metal. Power metal is...Sanctuary,Leatherwolf...vicious rumors, Crimson Glory, 80s Riot,Apocrypha ,Savatage, metal church,King diamond, Lethal, obsession ,Angel Dust, Malice,Racer x,control denied and Helstar..there is more of course. This is killer 80s stuff .check it out

[@scottdunn2178]

@@iganpparamarta8813 My description was primarily a generalization of the genre. Genres can overlap, for example; "Progressive Power Metal". A Google search can be very informative about the musical differences in metal genres and subgenres. Regards 🎸

I suggest to bring some lesson from the german band Subway to Sally. Very interesting chords. If you have never heard, please do try.

[@alxk78]

i just learned pleasure drone, cool riff man, Happy Halloween!

[@strivingx67]

Awesome video David! I was hoping for something from Better than Raw as well, but anything HellOwen is great! Thanks for this one.

[@mkilner]

So now im going to have to look them up on spotify and play their discography!...this is a band ive not heard in thirty years, just off my radar, but sure appeals especially those power chords and riffs, like Randy Rhoads played in S.AT.O!...that last bit on the acoustic reminded me of Page, but if you borrow do,it from the Best!...Cheers! 😎✊🏻🎼🌟🎸

[@anthonytremblett8187]

Always knew of Halloween, but like you went under my radar..I may have to look into them. Thank again🎶✌

[@rudiger1337]

I'm going to keep asking. Feel free to ignore me but I am in awe at your ear. Would love to hear your approach to ear training.. I get the feeling for you, it is innate. For me.. not so much innate as non existent.

[@strobostomp]

Check out the inversion of the D/F#-chord in Krokus’ “Long Stick Goes Boom”. Maybe that’s where Helloween nicked it! 😉

[@ddaneh3090]

Hell yeah! Michael Kiske era Helloween is very much comparable to Judas Priest/Iron Maiden in my opinion.

[@greg77hot]

David ...Looks like you got one of those "seatbelt " guitar straps... the darn thing slips off all the time

[@richybryan4652]

Dave you re the BEST

[@nonformalguitar]

There was a time when Helloween was very popular in Indonesia, and it influenced many up and coming bands here.... Cheers..

Could you please do a Chord Play on Cheap Trick? Or Rick Nielsen licks?

Dave, also check their album Chameleon. Very underrated record but have some serious guitar work. Their last one with Michael Kiske on vocals. Awesome album!

My personal faves, Future world, Tale that wasn't right, I want out

To all yous guys that requested this, I thank you. I've heard of them, but never really listened to them. Good stuff 👍👍.

[@7thString84]

Paused for a second, so that I don't forget, what to ask. Ehm... damn... yeah... I think... ahh yes! :D What's up with your nuts? :DDDD Haha, really. Since you are using so many different tunings and string gauges, how many times did you have to change or repair the nut? Great lesson of course! Now on to the video... :)
