True. This is pure metal essence

[@Porous_Dawg]

So clean sounding for being live. Awesome stuff.

[@psychedelicbee5039]

Roberto Facchiano still by far the best version you can find.

[@nebulahhd6058]

One of Kai's best live performances!!

[@alovering92]

Hands down THE best version of this song.

[@psychedelicbee5039]

Andrew James This still easily holds up today. There's a couple new versions here on YT but they don't come close.

[@Graywolf335]

Blast from the Past version(this one) is the best version 😃

[@miru5961]

Skeleton in the closet (Barcelona 2003) is the best version imo...Kai perform all the songs better than studio version that time 🤘

[@JuanSalazar-hk7yl]

Dirk and that Lemmy's vibe are mindblowing. What a cool guy and band 🤘🏻...

Who's controlling all the misery and pain? When the error signs are lighted in the Master Hall And from the start, the action is in vain 'Cause the beast is always careful to avoid the fall We crawl up to the skies We'll never return again.... We're the last before the storm Watching the sun going down on us We wish we had never been born To be the last before the storm Who's ever gonna change the world? I don't understand what we are fighting for The truth is sad; no lying, we are cursed I don't really know who ever made the law We cry out for more We wonder what's next to the world We settle the score We never look back.... We're the last before the storm.... Cry out for the people who don't know the world They don't understand what they say, and they're cursed Lying for reasons in search for the truth Mephisto-we comin' down We cry out for more.... You're welcome

[@Evergladecro]

Love Kai version. What a fucking sound.... Fucking hell. One of the best performances if not the best...

[@DarkEyesofSorrow]

He has such unique vocals, love it

[@220volt74]

Gamma Ray is one of the rare bands I've seen live that understands how to properly EQ the room. Lower the bass and up the mid and high frequencies=clean, loud, powerful sound. Lot of bands turn up the bass so high that it sounds muffled, mushy like shit.

[@KAMPFERMEGAHORN]

Perfect tempo. Perfect performance. 100/100

I like Kai's voice on this one better than Scheepers, just my opinion. And this sounds amazing live!!! Awesome performance 10/10!

[@jimthar17]

I always thought Scheepers was better in Primal Fear. Not a big fan of his GR albums, with the exception of Insanity and Genius.

[@behemoth2320]

NebulahHD I agree but I still miss shceepers. songs like No return and the silence are just suited to him

[@peakxv2246]

@@jimthar17 hmm i thought that was kiske singing on that album? I cant really tell the difference between their voices. It seems like Kiske and Sheepers keep tagging along to whatever band Kai moves on to. first he was in Helloween, then Kiske was their singer after kai left, and when kiske was kicked out he joined Gamma Ray. Kinda weird.

[@AnnWahlquist]

Kai has a realy unique voice....

Wow, you recognize the years of experience. Gamma Ray is one of the first bands that have influenced me since 1989 and impressed. And now I am still learning about new songs, great, thank you for your music.

[@CanYouHearMeNow929]

I know I am way late, but I have just discovered these guys and I have been on a trip through KZbin watching every video I can find and learning about the band's history. Kai truly is a Metal God! I know in recent years his voice has shown some wear and tear, even so this man is simply amazing. Sure, lots of guys can get up there and sing with a hafway decent voice but Kai has mad skills on the guitar and his voice is so uniquely perfect. Another thing that I am enjoying about his performances is the fact that he is always sooo Happy. In front of a huge crowd is definitely where this man was meant to be. Love you, Kai!!!

[@billyreynolds4749]

part of the big four of power metal right there XD

[@MrDR7no]

+Tgkjj other 3 are certainly helloween blind guardian and stratovarius

[@ElizondoAbelardo]

+MrDR7no I have always thought of it like that, but with Running Wild instead of Stratovarius; they are as old as Helloween and Blind Guardian and also began with a "speed metal" sound which later developed into power metal (and they are also German). Don't misunderstand me, I love Stratovarius, but they began a little later and used keyboards, which earlier bands didn't use (at least not as a permanent instrument). Anyway, just my opinion.

[@MrDR7no]

Abelardo Elizondo Exactly because of their extensive use of Keyboards Stratovarius are a lot more influential on the european power metal movement than Running Wild or say Rage.Running Wild's early sound was more reminiscent of American speed metal bands which were already around since early 80s
