Fates Warning - Guardian - Live At Keep it True XIX

[@ianbyron7464]

I keep on coming back to this. It is an awesome performance; wish i couldve been there. This album came out in '86. When i first listened to this, it was '91. I was and always will be a huge Maiden fan, and at the first Maiden show i ever attended, some kid next to me said, hey if you like Iron Maiden, you should listen to Fates Warning. The next day, i bought the Awaken the Gardian. That album is in my personal top 5 metal abums ever produced.

[@MaryMetal1]

Thanks for sharing this with me, it's good to see stories like these

[@joeylamuel5828]

I do,too. Greatest song ever.

[@Michaelcmorris1988]

The fact that Arch can nail this song 35 years on just defies the laws of time... Massive respect

[@flashyfrank5726]

And the singer they have now can't do any of the songs any more, they make their music sound like what you hear in a supermarket to adjust to his voice and he sucks anyway. Why don't they keep with this singer or at least get someone who can actually do the songs? Are they afraid to fire Alder for PC reasons?

[@jeffreywebb7932]

Fuckin-aye🤘🙂

[@vandengrey6912]

​@@flashyfrank5726Alder is simply better

[@dennisfox8673]

A masterpiece. The pacing, the drama, the skill and the emotion, it’s all there.

[@dedespedida4515]

This song is not just an amazing song, is more than that, Arch voice after all these years hasn't change a bit, he is one of the all time best singers to ever step the earth. And we are living in the same time, we are the lucky ones.

[@darkthul118]

The magic of the old Fates Warning!

[@Joetrout]

When John left he was very much missed! Never thought we would ever see and hear the most incredible voice in metal again! Thank u JOHN!!

[@heavymetalnut1965]

John's vocals are mesmerizing! a class act and such a down to earth human being. proud to call him a friend!

[@wavey63]

Every...freaking...time...I hear this. Still them chills get me. After all these years....

[@mgdarenz]

Damn. Jim's vibrato on that improvised intro. Chills.

[@gladieuxsound5449]

My god, what a voice!!! Even 30 years later Arch sounds magnificent.

[@bobben1999]

This album is a must have for all music lovers.... And it reminds me of Mike Portnoy`s answer to how influential and innovative Dream Theatre was... He simply said, that they didn't do anything new, they just repeated what Fates Warning had done many years before them. ..

[@floydlamuel4618]

More than thirty years later, this song still makes my hair stand on end.

[@brianthurber1200]

One of the most beautiful epic songs ever written!!!!😢😊!!!!!🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶!!!!

[@knightmidnight]

My favorite Fates Warning song, Masterpice!!!!!!

[@MrBCOIC]

Holy crap, he still nails the vocals. Thanks for posting this. Loved them back in the day

[@MaryMetal1]

[@nukedrums]

There are few things in this world that brings tears to my eyes.This song and performance,is one of 'em.

[@spyridoulakatechi7156]

We always talk about Jim (of course he is a genius)but Frank is also fantastic.I wish he was always in Fates Warning.

[@DIRTKNAPFX]

its criminal that these guys were the least recognized of the big 3. I heard No Exit when I was 10 years old, and grew up a Alder era fan. As I got older, my brother turned me on to NOB, TSW and ATG, and Arch blew me away. DiBiase was such an important part of their sound. I don't mind Steve Zimmerman on drums, but I am a huge Mark Zonder fan. I can always pick out a Matheos/Aresti dueling lead. those two just meshed so well.

[@mgdarenz]

Man. A defining musical moment in my life when I first heard this song and record. Bought No Exit first when It was first out, based on "Silent Cries," and quickly went back to Tower Records and bought Awaken, only to discover there was a different vocalist, but quickly fell in love with both vocalists, and the band. Beautiful, prog metal lament and hopeful story in one song.

[@nowguilt8617]

I had a dream! I was you! Strong as the fire in my veins!

[@StellarSeer]

transcendental art that will never be replicated for as long as we live

[@darkthul118]

These walls are stained engraved with pain You will find them under shadows casting shame Some it's all they've ever known Angels of the fortunate sons come and go... You may not Entities pass in the night Guardians and the Reaper fight The will to live shall win Mares of hope ride through their dreams Blinding light awakens sleeping dawn It seems it was all a dream, an endless dream I will wish upon a star I believe in you and if my will has strayed afar I remembered you Will you remember me I the one you sentenced Penance unabsolved Answer me, save my will Have you forgotten me Pace the hallway blindman For a million miles of stars His mind has seen. Think you may he lives in darkness We're the dark he's seen the light of dream Karen, she's been asleep forever I know she hears me She has so much to say, The machine shoots sparks Through her eggshell mind A tear streams from her face Into my hand, into my heart I'm a fire without a flame A helpless child without a name With broken wings catch me I'm falling I'm a question with no answer Who are you that takes my life away from me Unveil the boundaries of the black I had a dream I was you strong as the fire In your veins then when I called out your Name I would remain to witness the pain I am beyond silent black I will be back As your guardian Angels in white you have sacrificed You witness and bury the pain You walk hand and hand with the fear stricken child Strengthen the weak and the lame Have you seen beyond the unborn The pillar of penance and lore Perpetual journey into the realm The sovereign servitor

[@TheMcBadie]

35 odd years on these lyrics still strike a chord. What a performance. Karen's been asleep forever, I know she hears me. She has so much to say. Machine tools sparks through her egg shell mind Tears stream from her face Unto my hand, unto my heart

[@Ahov]

John Arch the fucking legend, along with Jim Matheos

[@ianbyron7464]

Pace the hallway blindman, for million mile of stars his mind has seen. F-ing Awesome!!!

[@Metalholica1]

"A machine shoots sparks through her eggshelled mind" ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@childofthemist6174]

My most favorite song as a teen 🖤🖤

[@damiaomedeiros5889]

Adoro essa música.

[@LilKings530]

I heard this on the local rock station 93 rock (metal shop) around 1986/87. Told my bro the next day he went down to the local music shop and bought the tape. He and a few of my other rocker friends didn't like it so I ended up with the tape. This music means so much to me words cannot explain. Gives me chills every time I listen to it.... Fucking bad ass. Thank you for posting this.

[@tizwiz-w9x]

What a great wonderful voice!!! This song is a masterpiece

[@vampirepacman]

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!! Wish I could have seen this.

[@mikehansen747]

A big part of the soundtrack of my life for decades. Thank you, FW.

[@mgdarenz]

Man, I love Ray and Mark Zonder, but this lineup is magical. Jim and Frank are easily one of the most underappreciated guitar teams in metal. The new stuff is not the same with out Frank. It's good, but the guitar highlight on Winter Ethereal is his 1 solo.

[@hugosimoes922]

0:55 to 01:23 - It is impossible not to get goose bumps.. a mix of emotion and great taste.. plus we see Arch with his open hand in his chest and thanking the crowd! This music is absolutely incredible! Thanks for uploading this live!

[@MaryMetal1]

Denada

[@michelemkporcu2085]

Amazing for sure! John is incredible, the whole band is but damn Arch is a power!

[@leonlagrey]

This gives me the chills, I wish I was there to see this performance. John arch is just one of a kind and still sounds amazing!

[@oldbutbold]

His voice is still so crystal clear!

[@BriBeast8566]

Like is to weak of a word to express my adoration of this song

[@gravytime]

Fukkin beautiful! Memories abound with this gem.

[@str8edgbmxr641]

this would have been a religous experience for me!! Never got t osee this line up as the No Exit tour was my first to see...Fates Warning shaped my musical, and personal life back in the 80's as a fledgling prog metal kid....

[@tomh5702]

This mesmerize me, I cant watch some of it, Im stucked. Its perfection, I love it.

[@caiofelipemadeira5645]

Do krl esse som! Curto demais fates warning!

[@dalejohnson2638]

One of my favorite fates songs glad to see this John is one of favorite singers

[@michelemkporcu2085]

Incredibile band ! Deserve a lot more. John is LEGEND.

[@marklevy2092]

saw this at prog power one of the best nights of my entire life

[@esovae]

Thank you so so much for this video :-) I love it and I want the whole concert!! 🤘🥁🖤

[@andycue38956]

This seems like all a dream an endless dream...

[@gibbylee4319]

Original Fates always got me through some good and tough Timez

[@nickmamic1815]

First band I wanna see after lockdown 👏🥇

[@adrianlongoria5236]

MIDNIGHT, Oliva, Dane, Dio, DIckinson, Halford ;)

[@anibalhernandez2479]

9k views? Wow....this is historical!

[@mgdarenz]

A female FW fan. (Tips hat to you). :)

[@marklevy2092]

and john was sick for this show. let that sink in

[@sighermike]

I didn't get into Fates until pleasant shade, so I wasn't into the old Arch songs. It's amazing this guy still sings like this after all these years. Kudos to him . However, I love Ray and definitely prefer that version of Fates.

[@ronnharris]

nope arch is way better bro

[@onecleanfinger]

Wow ! this is intense

[@Jim-be8sj]

Legendary.

[@briangale404]

Awesome!

[@Metalholica1]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@crystallogician]

wow

[@metamorphosis8813]

FW shot themselves in the foot by letting Arch leave. What a band it could be with him onboard

[@ТимаТимо-п9в]

как же он крут

[@marcosdib6700]

Where were John Arch after ALL these years? Singing Just the same ....

[@soopahsoopah]

Apparently after he left music he as basically cabinet maker. But obviously he kept his voice in shape!

[@josefranciscogilperez7047]

🤟🏻

[@akashdroydrums]

Is it me, or is James Labrie playing the drums? :P Great band! Love them to the core!

[@joeylamuel5828]

No. That is their original drummer, none other than Steve Zimmerman himself!

[@rickvandun]

Fuck the commerce. This is so good

[@sighermike]

When did James LeBrie start playing drums for fates?

[@judowrestlerka]

What this band was thinking getting rid of John Arch. They didn't trade up.

[@flashyfrank5726]

Curious how these things work. They bring back their original singer, so what happens with the one who sucks? He sits out the tour and doesn't get paid? No matter since he sucks anyway, why don' they just keep this guy? They can't play any songs from Arch's error because Alder can't sing them, he never was a great singer and he sucks now. Why keep him? (Must suck to be him when his band tells him they don't want him onstage with them. Funny how at shows when Ray is singing, they will bring John out. It says a lot about their abilities and what the band thinks of both of them.

[@chinalia28]

Good voice, but his vocal lines are sound the same

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

They need to just get Arch back as their permanent singer. I have huge respect for what Ray did once, but his voice today is so shut that it limits Fates Warning's output. It makes their music sound like a discount version of their early music. They simply cannot prosper without a powerful singer at the helm...
