Matheos and Aresti one of the greatest guitar duos of all time.

John still sounds amazing...... the classic line up should team up with the recent one and make a world tour...... just like Helloween did...... that would be one kick ass tour

[@chadwbateyjr6043]

Drums are flawless! This album will always stand the test of time. Music will never be the same.

100 percent agree

[@bluekoi455]

Definitely my desert island disc

[@markopem]

Un-be-lie-va-ble performance! I am stunned how John Arch and Steve Zimmerman while not being active for quite a long time still deliver so freakingly good!

[@michaellucas6272]

Those fucking drums dominated!

[@jasonren666]

man dude really took care of his voice

[@qwert4560]

He just didn't sing for 20+ years. So, his voice didn't hurt with years of live shows.

[@vratyasvakyas6022]

I wish you could say the same about Ray

[@Okkvltify]

@@qwert4560 on the other hand, 20 years of not singing puts you out of training very harsh.

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

@@vratyasvakyas6022 Ray has only lost range, but he can still sing pretty well within the range he's able to. If you wanna see a terrible example of deterioration, look no further than James Labrie

[@gsoltis29]

Just when you think he can't go any higher....he fucking NAILS IT!! 3:55 to 4:05 possibly the best 10 seconds of music I have heard in 10 years or so....and I saw them at the hartford agora on this tour back in the 80's. This is just as good or better....so much respect to John for doing the work to get his voice back to this condition. It must have been tough.

[@2Times22]

Steve is a great drummer..God bless all of them,they gave us beautiful music through the years..!!!!

[@1936Studebaker]

Steve, what a power house, executes those snare rolls and double kicks with ease! He always seems to be the forgotten member of the past Fates members to the fans. It's great seeing Bones up there too, 7 albums with the band, great bass player.

[@gsoltis29]

Bones! Ha - that is too funny. I was lucky enough to smoke one with him in his bedroom when a friend of mine brought me to his house to visit. They had just got done touring with Armored Saint who was my favorite band at the time (and is still up there!). He had a early copy of Delirious Nomad and we got to hear Guardian before it came out. I was blown away.

[@samuelheldilaof6361]

Credit where Credit is due!!

[@thewheel246]

sounds awesome..meeting rock stars is always a rush at least for me..meeting Dio and Rob Halford I was all nervous and forgot to ask the questions about songs etc that i always wanted to ask them...Fates warning are one off the first progressive style metal bands that i was into ..

[@mitchellschleede569]

My first exposure to Fates Warning was the Silent Cries video on MTV. Loved the vocals, guitars, bass but what really caught my attention was the unique drumming. Steve definitely had his own personality behind the kit.

[@awesomefearsome]

Mind blowing!!! This is a dream come true.

[@JoseRodriguez-lm4qy]

Seen Fates Warning in San Antonio, Tx with Saxon and Killer Dwarfs back in 87'....Killer Show!!

[@swamiswaprakashananda2117]

Dang. Jon Arch is in impeccable form. Jon thank you so much! Your are the Shakespeare of metal vocalists. I can't stop playing this song!

[@julioriveramartinez4157]

The same voice as Arch was younger, i can't believe! Horns Up for Jon and Fates Warning 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@89wm1]

Man back in the mid ‘80’s. In my mind this band could do no wrong. But when they got rid of John Arch, I could not believe it, I never could understand it. I looked for years for him in a new band. Never happened, but here he is, sounding great, better late than never.

[@JohnGojcaj]

i quit on them after he left. might have gotten no exit but 0 after that

[@aaronrothenberg7582]

I can t get over how good this is especially Arch. OMG!!!!!!

[@deanarupe73]

John still has it. This is still one of my favorite songs off one of my favorite metal albums. Fates Warning are the father of progressive metal IMO. DragonForce could learn a thing or two. Like how Fates never did guitar solos show off the technical prowess. They did solos to fit the songs. They could still shred but they shredded within the song. Sometimes when I hear DragonForce I just scream out loud" Ok! I get it! You can play guitar enough already with the epic guitar duels." .

[@mikeferris408]

ARCH... 30 some years latter n still sounds 100% like the original recording! Arch n Ronnie James dio are in my top 5 all time metal vocalist. This album was my introduction to fates warning n I'm still a hard core fan today dec 7th 2021 my bday. I'm 52 now herd them back when I was 16.. 17 dam.. it went by so so fast, now I'm fkin 52! N still a fkin metal head n will b until I die!🤘

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

Dio managed to sound awesome all his career, even with cancer. Only Arch and Kiske has done the same, but Dios toured extensively since the 70's, so Dio comes on top. For me, thing goes like this: Dio Tate, Arch, Kiske, Dickinson, Halford, Midnight Allen, Lande, Matos and the rest

[@davidtrevi2914]

God I love his voice so much, I am glad he resurfaced after his hiatus with Fates Warning. Back in '89 a girlfriend gave me Awaken the Guardian on cassette. And I was hooked! I am stanning over his voice!

[@renatomasuda9517]

what a performance !!!

[@mgdarenz]

My God! These guys are giving their all. Epic.

[@waynehasch5978]

I'm 68. I loved these guys 30 years ago. First time after 30 years. I was BLOWN away by this. Favorite vocalists now are pained guys like Van Drunen of Adphyx and Tatgren of Hypocrisy. But I liked King of Merciful Fate. At the end this was reminiscent of M.Fate. Warning is a band that was ahead of its time. Progressive when the term Progressive didn't exist. That's why it's so totally fresh even today. Of all the thousands of vocalists who is better? What I really appreciated is when he said the so understated but so so sincere "Thank you so much". I love Dickinson but are Bruce's vocals better?

[@johnharvath2522]

How!....How can he still be this good?!!

Bumps of the goose...I got them.

[@samuelheldilaof6361]

Nobody gives Steve Zimmerman enough credit on how much he meant for the sound of early Fates Warning. As far as I think, on Spectre-Awaken-No Exit. his playing is as original and special as Barriemore Barlow´s in Jethro Tull, Andrew McCulloch´s on the Fields-Lp or King Crimson´s Lizard also Mikkey Dee´s playing on Abigal-Them and Conspiracy...To name a few... His style looks a bit odd and awkward though, like he´s muscling through the set using only arms or something... Everybody changed appearance over the years but Jim Matheos looks almost the same?

[@samuelheldilaof6361]

I'm listening to this on Amazon for the first time. I admit, I first heard Fates with Ray. I bought the Arch fronted records, gave them a quick once over, and didn't go back. That was over a decade ago. Now, listening to ATG live... i see that I screwed myself out of some killer prog metal. While I wait for Nov 6th, I'm going to indulge in the Arch era.

[@Callum-vj3yf]

This is what Fates Warning should have been. With this lineup! They could've been the USA version of Maiden.. Don't get me wrong I love all the stuff post Awaken the Guardian. But in my opinion that should have been a separate project all together. I get Matheos wanted to play more progressive, Rush inspired material.. But THIS is Fates Warning.. With the amazing voice JOHN ARCH! And the hard hitting drum style of Zimmerman!

[@gsoltis29]

I have to agree - I think Steve's drumming just fits this music so much better. i was really pissed when they kicked him out in the 80's. Or was it early 90's. Too many joints!
