FATES WARNING - The Light And Shade Of Things (Live 2018 / OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@lynnwunsch5049]

I can listen to Fates Warning all day everyday. Rays voice just incredible❤️

[@scottbaker1972]

I agree

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

100%

[@WindDevil69]

TEXAS!

[@IanGoodfriend-v9u]

the extra *oomph* in so many live versions is pure magic too!

[@zoeybear599]

Once a Fates Warning fan, forever you’re hooked. These guys are one of the most underrated bands ever!!!

[@Antifascista89]

same bro, awesome but terrific underrated band.

[@edwardsaw13]

Yeah. And I dont know who dislike this.

[@janguchelaar5836]

@@edwardsaw13 It wasn't me !! Great band !

[@hectorsand6800]

I don't really care how underrated they are. To me this is the greatest band ever!

[@Crossdrop]

I've been a fan (or listener...) for not too long. But you're right - I was quite astonished during the last tour that they play rather small venues und you don't even pay 30 € for a ticket here....although they're quite much known...

[@Arnoldfan89]

Don't think they ever got the success they deserved. True legends.

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

Ville Hardén Absolutely. No one like them all throughout their career

[@gregoryl.levitre9759]

Especially because of how they paved the way for prog metal today. They're one of the great pioneers of prog metal.

[@gtrpimp76]

I was a casual fan until I saw them live opening for Dream Theater during the “Awake” and “Monument” tour. I was completely sold. Mark Zonder, who played drums for them at that time, I felt was more impressive technically than Mike Portnoy. However, that was one helluva show by both bands. FW kinda got pushed aside by Dream Theater through the years but I’m glad FW continues to write great music utilizing their own unique brand and approach to progressive rather than trying to be another DT clone.

[@vladimirstanescu6616]

@Ryan Soliman Before Fates opening for them, DT members were their fans !

[@dustinleonsky4513]

I saw them on 03/05/2019 at the Masquerade in Atlanta with Queensryche. Both bands were GREAT.

[@dogukankalender8903]

BEST PROGRESSIVE METAL BAND EVER EXISTED.......

[@rscotta831]

What a BRILLIANT performance! Everyone NAILS their parts!

[@dougcronkhite2113]

Theories of Flight was simply amazing! Fates has never been better!

[@gtrpimp76]

Doug Cronkhite I’d go as far to say as the best one since “Parallels.” My personal all time favorite albums from Fates.

[@davegto67]

It is an outstanding piece of work amongst an incredibly strong catalog of music.

[@dougcronkhite2113]

@@davegto67 So true.. I first saw Fates just after Ray joined the band about 3 weeks before No Exit came out and I was instantly a fan.

[@ruimendesjunior6405]

Since 1988.

[@gudalpesanz]

...since John Arch

[@ZillaFitness]

I don't say this often but this song and this performance are both 10/10.

[@assafmetal]

Ray is the best frontman out there today period!!!!!!!

[@gudalpesanz]

He is the last of his kind, because nowadays vocalist depend too much on a growl or guttural to make it through the day.

[@jakobfel2]

@@gudalpesanz Nah, not even close to the last of his kind. He's great but there are loads out there that still do only singing. I love screams/guttural vocals being a huge fan of metalcore, death metal and post-metal, but man, there are so many singers out there that do this sort of thing. Right off the top of my head, I could name quite a few. Roy Khan, Tommy Karevik, Jorn Lande, Tobias Sammet, Michael Kiske, Matt Smith (Theocracy), James LaBrie, Andy Kuntz, Daniel Tompkins, the list goes on. There are still plenty of metal bands that rely on singing only, it's just that a lot of metal today involves the heavier stuff.

[@jonclarkson5911]

@@jakobfel2 STFU dickhead.

[@jakobfel2]

@@jonclarkson5911 Nah, I'm good. Thanks for your concern, though.

[@topsecret1837]

@@jakobfel2 Well at least you’re sincere. You’re right about much of it, but at the end of the day this frontman was the first for the genre.

[@tenzin682]

Just magnificent!!! Favorite song on the album. An absolute MASTERPIECE!! Jim and Ray's writing is just amazing!! My favorite band of all time. Since Perfect Symmetry, Parallels, Inside Out, etc. Ray has had such an influence on my singing and phrasing, I can't thank him enough, don't ever think you didn't influence musicians or everyday fans!! Thank you Fates, I'll say it over and over, Nothing more to say.

[@88omair]

New album this year Patrick!! Seriously CANNOT wait!

[@phillipwhitehurst4506]

Bobby is killing it on drums, so stoked he's with the FW guys. Some of the most talented musicians staying true to their roots.

[@OlegRegis]

We urgently need a DVD or Blue-Ray!) Ray, give us the Blue Ray!!

[@openyourheart100]

agreement bro ! It s great to have media book, LP, but if there isnt DVD at least, it will be half length experience:-(

[@albertosandovalvasquez1749]

Yeaaaaaah DVD in Chile

[@TheMarkymarcio]

Blu ray please

[@rscotta831]

Been jamming Fates since 88. Theories Of Flight is BY FAR their very best album.

[@gareginasatryan6761]

My friend’s band toured with them. I was like you should’ve been falling on the floor saying “we’re not worthy”.

[@rebeccav9969]

I met one of my best friends 33 years ago over music like this! We became music partners soon after and still are. ❤

[@austinwelch7313]

Perfect band performs perfect song from perfect album perfectly. It's amazing how FW just gets better with age. I know some peeps hold out for the Arch days, and that stuff is cool, but I think they've just continued to improve with each album. I'm bummed that they're going to take another indefinite hiatus, but at least we get to see them one more time in '19 with the Ryche. Fates, don't be gone too long, you're on a roll!

[@rontregenza8843]

Maybe a guy will come around and give them 500,000 a piece to keep going :)

[@88omair]

The band improved once Alder and Zonder joined. Haven't looked back since

[@donaldstiles7240]

Hey, Donny Styles here. Ray Alder to me personally, is my favorite Singer in this Life I now Love, which I give him credit where credit is due for in a big way Im a total guitar freak , then Vocals, so makes me feel in need to mention all Jim Matheos- means to me. Also all the Fates musicians from beginning present. Franks phenomenal, as well as Joey, and the rest Only good things I have to say about this band that has had a big positive impact on my Life I Love people and I Love Fates Warning & Crew, ect. ❤️

[@ficagnafranck5625]

The difference between FW and the others prog bands is melancholy. Fates Warning talks about time passing, about people we lose, about the lost of illusions...Deeper thoughts. Perhaps that's why they didn't meet the success they deserve.

[@jonclarkson5911]

Yeah. They talk about REALITY.

[@ln4454]

I don't think this is the point. They care a lot about their freedom, artistically saying, in compose, no matter what. No company labels saying this or that. They preferred that way i guess.

[@father042]

You might Enjoy Ricerside, Wolverien and Novembre

[@davegto67]

FW's music touches on emotion. Also Jim's composition style is somewhat minimalist. He chooses his notes very carefully.

[@roycebishop4959]

IMO This is the greatest song to date that they have written. Like a fine wine Fates Warning only get better with every new album.

[@davegto67]

I am in total agreement. Epic song. Fantastic album.

[@Eccentrics]

The daddies of Progressive Metal. There is no one like Fates Warning.

[@ricarcorpse]

This is the most awesome piece of music of the last few years.

[@stevenpierce8331]

Holy Schnickies this live version is Bad Ass. Rays voice is so Ballsey..

[@adrianokulpa3759]

The best definition of progressive metal at all times... Timeless... innovative... and made with the heart... And this song.... wonderful.... Eternal masters!

[@benedictdonald4338]

It’s remarkable to consider that FW has rostered two of the greatest vocalists the genre has ever witnessed. They sound nothing alike, but complement each other perfectly. And Matheos is the constant, and their muse, which binds them together. Such great music this band has given us.

[@andyread7203]

The best and most consistent progressive (metal) band ever. And if anything, they are getting better as the years pass by.

[@88omair]

Hey are you the same Andy that reviewed for DPRP?

[@darkkiss7247]

Wow. This music reminds me of summer nights when I was a teenager. 💖💖💖

Jim Matheos is a genius. Don't know how he keeps composing such incredible music so effortlessly

[@petes9845]

Ray sounds incredible. The best he's sounded live in years.

[@MariaDiazskn]

You confess a lot of things But you confess alone The absense of a person brings The burning question home The nights are long, they turn to days And sleep is not a friend The voices though you hear them sing Are only in your head And you have not begun to fight It slowly takes a toll The burden of the little thing Will never make you whole I understand that feeling of dread, you're used to it And thos empty promises are just the same When our time had come to end, it's over then It's over then, it's over The light and shade of things The light you held is gone And although people change I know it can't be far The light and shade of things And I can't understand How one is more important Than the other You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now I know that it's hard to find A heart that's there inside It's hard to find your heart now Forget falling down, forget all that you've been It's time to face those broken promises Oh, burn the past, this thing has to end I wish that it felt strange that you feel nothing The light and shade of things The light you held is gone And although people change I know it can't be far The light and shade of things And I can't understand How one is more important Than the other You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now I know that it's hard to find A heart that's there inside It's hard to find your heart now Some roads are empty Some roads just go on And though you may walk alone, my friend I know it won't be long It's not over, not over yet I know you can remember when You gave away you heart in your hand It's not over then, it's not over I know, your heart is there It's there inside

[@SasaAvramovic-y1e]

One of the best bands ever to play any music, I've been listening to metal music for 40 years and they are one of the best bands I've ever heard! And I think that it doesn't matter to them whether they are the best or not, they simply enjoy the music they play, and I am right next to them! Keep it up guys for many years to come! Fates Warning is the best!!!

Amazing vocals. Love everything about this. Plus that bass tone is killer.

[@omairsh8]

And guitar tones are from outer space

[@mvunit3]

Fates Warning SHOULD be playing bigger venues and Theatres, more known and recognized for all they have contributed to Metal music progressing, and they have been pounding the pavement since 1984. But . . . . its WE Fans that keep them alive and relevant, trying to spread the word of these Fathers of PrOg Metal. I "hope" I'm able to see them with their co-fathers QR in LA. This is one of my all time fave songs, and as a fan, pure emotion that hits you in the soul, and enough aggression to make you headbang. Every album is a masterpiece \m/.

[@thundersnow93]

I had the privilege of seeing them live on their Pleasant Shade of Gray tour in 1997. FW always knows how to put on an exquisite, polished, and soul-filled live performance. I swear that Ray's voice continues to get better with age. Yeah -- he doesn't hit those crazy-high notes like in the 80s and 90s, but his vocals are always spot-on and rich in a live setting. Kudos on being some of the best-ever prog rock/metal musicians!!
