[@yu7anna]

I love how you guys discuss things with an open mind. It's not because Wolf doesn't like Power Metal, Sistah has to agree with him... NO! Each one of you is an individual giving her/his opinion and that's what makes you "The Beautiful People"! I'm not into Power Metal either and this was my very first time listening to Halloween but I must say, there were some parts that I liked in the song. Keep up the good work guys and more if Iron Maiden and maybe some Black Metal perhaps??

You can call it the "typical power metal voice" NOW. This album set the bar for what power metal is. Other bands tried to emulate THIS sound. No one was doing this before Keeper 1. This is 1987, and is the epitome of what power metal should be. They did it first, and did it best. Kiske is the voice of power metal. Angra, Stratovarius, Edguy, etc were all using this album as a blueprint of how to make good power metal.

[@dariodzimbeg]

well said bro!

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

I think Queensryche and Geoff Tate did it before '87 with the vocals, but Ryche was "Prog Metal". I hate genres. I love 'em both, so who cares.

[@adameves5970]

Yeah, Queensryche is awesome, but yeah, two different genres of music. Queensryche didn't have the speed element. I'm sure Geoff Tate was a big influence for many power metal singers. But so was Kiske, lol.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

I saw Helloween open on the Clash Of The Titans Tour in '92, I think. I was sold! Prior to that, all I had heard was I Want Out! and I liked that, but Live, they are a different monster. Great band.

[@adameves5970]

Walls of Jericho was their second album in '86, and didn't have this sound. Once they got Kiske in '87 they started writing songs for his voice. This was the result.

[@Dannej85]

Michael Kiske was 18-19 years old when recording this. That's sooooo insane. I love his voice.

[@billsimpkins6214]

[@YabusameUK]

I remember buying this album on vinyl when I was a teenager just because I loved the cover art. Fell in love with the music and started to think of it as a concept album (don't know if it was but I got the feeling like I'd been taken on a journey whenever I listened to it).

[@jovemickovski2846]

[@devilpuppetsinc]

Saw them live in Chicago a few weeks back. Kiske and Deris are both great and both sang. I was floored when they opened the show with this song!

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

Helloween is one of my all-time favorite bands. So influencial! Sista gets why they are so great. Michael Kiske (pronounced Kiss-Ka, the last 'e' is sounding like 'a' in cat) was their second singer. He was 17 years old when he joined and they recorded "Keeper pt 1", on which this song was released! To me he sounds like a mix of Geoff Tate and Bruce Dickinson. After Keeper 2, Hansen left and founded Gamma Ray. Helloween recorded 2 more albums with Kiske, which in my opinion are extremely underrated. Especially Chameleon, which is very experimental and different from the Keeper style. I especially think Sista would love an epic such as "Music"

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

I love that despite not liking Power Metal Wolf won't deny his wife the experience. Probably because he thinks she'll like it.

[@OldManTenno]

This song is one of my all time favorite epics. Thank you.

[@tommimensonen]

There is some good cohesiveness to your ear if you like it "INSOMNIUM - While We Sleep". Please react, no regret guaranteed! No need to go to the Otep cabinet ;). But if you deside to do it do it the proper way and react "Opeth - Voice of Treason".

[@keithholm7493]

Power metal is what it is because of Kai Hansen! There is nobody better! OH yeah.. listen for the Charlie Brown and LInus reference in the song.. got to love it. They did a song on an earlier album Walls of Jericho - Ride the Sky.. a metal classic masterpiece

I have listened Helloween since -86 since i was 6yo and even since i knew how epic the guitar/base/singer talent is. Helloween started the power metal in big way if you ask me. That´s where my love on music comes from melodic sound with harsh part. So i started to listen metal from 6yo and english is not my first or second language: Greetings from Finland where the metal is in your mothers milk.

Helloween's more recent vocalist Andi Deris has a good voice, he can hit those high notes and he has quite a raspy voice

[@KreshDraven6]

Kings of Power Metal ! Great track from a classic album You guys could check out Sole Survivor by them with Deris on the vocals, it's different but still amazing. (And with one of the best intros that I've ever heard)

I was a kid when i first heard this and it changed my life musically....lol... My first taste of powermetal and i was hooked, was worse than a drug...lol

[@luisgarrues]

There are a couple reasons Helloween and Iron Maiden sound similar: They both use a technique where two guitars are playing the same line in different parts of the guitar frets like two voices harmonizing and Michael Kiske's vibrato is pretty similar to Bruce Dickinson's even though they have completely different voices.

[@alexanderguerra9646]

Helloween was a special band for both Keeper of the Seven Keys albums. I loved them so much

[@juyifan7933]

You should listen to Masterplan (specially the Jorn Lande phase). It was founded by former members of helloween, but the vocals of Jorn Lande will probably be more to your taste. You are partially right that Michael Kiskes vocals are steriotipical for power metal. But that is solely due to Kiskes influence, at the time these songs were comming out, the vocals were highly original, but spawned several imitators since.

[@mannequin7775]

Great choice! Hope to see your reaction to Keeper of the Seven Keys. More Power Metal! Blind Guardian will be perfect, i think.

[@hoklavatbey]

Oh man, Helloween!!! Godfathers of power metal! And when you started to listen to metal in your teenager years (I was 13 years old to be exact), and one of the bands you ever heard in your then short life was the godfathers of power metal, it leaves a mark on you. I can listen to other power metal bands alright but I could never extend myself across Helloween. Their 3 albums: Walls of Jericho Keeper of the Seven Keys (Part I) Keeper of the Seven Keys (Part II) are like holy trinity to me. And Wolf, I got to hand it to you, Kai Hansen has a more raw, more dirty(?) voice. On Walls of Jericho, as an album which is kind of sacred to me, Kai is killing it. Michael Kiske is also incredible. When he joined the band, he was around 17 years old with that voice. Go figure that! To me, Helloween is a milestone in my life. I am a bass player and Helloween's bass player Markus Grosskopf has a great, great effect on me. I can say that he is my bass hero, shaper of my understanding of the duty of the bass in metal music. I suggest you to listen to songs from Walls of Jericho, especially the song, How Many Tears. I think that song will make sistah cry. There is a Michael Kiske version of the song, which is also beautiful and full of with live energy, in the Live in the U.K. album. You can give a chance to Ride the Sky, Gorgar, Guardians, Metal Invaders... Man I love Helloween so much! Yeah!

[@VicLou]

Michael Kiske was one of the options to replace Bruce Dickinson as frontman of Iron Maiden, but he didn't made it because he was not british.

[@satoricrush]

First concert was Helloween/Grim Reaper/Armored Saint in 1987. Great show. You should check out Kiske/Somerville works. Especially "Silence". Beautiful song with two fantastic voices that complement each other. Won't be disappointed.

[@dragonseye00]

You might like to listen to Michael Kiske and Amanda Somerville with the song "Silence" or "If I Had A Wish". Both rather straight and melodic, not too heavy. Unisonic has some nice songs too (anormther band featuring Michael Kiske), with songs Like "Exceptional", "For the Kingdom" or "Your time has come". Also he sings often with Avantasia. Another band I can wholeheartedly recommend to listen. A lot of good songs come with that band, and usually with invited singers which gives the albums a different touch. I'd recommend songs like "Reach Out For The Light", "Scarecrow", "Lucifer", "Let the Storm Descend Upon You", "Lost In Space" or "Shelter From The Rain". Just a few recommendations... You can pick almost everything from that band 😊

[@DMSG1981]

How Halflifesistah's body reacts to the song is exactly how I reacted the first 50 times I heard the song.

[@gtracer_x2588]

Great channel guys. Remember Michael Kiske was rumored to replace Bruce in Iron Maiden. Glad Mike was able to reunite with Kai and Helloween for this year's tour. Not every Helloween song is a winner, but most are

[@user-qg9ug7fk2b]

Actually you definitelly can identify Mike Kiske's voice, believe me. And all the singers who came later actually was and still trying to sound similar to him. During the recording of the album he was a teenager, so his voice wasn't matured yet, but on the next albums he sounded much better. Anyway he did an amasing job here. Speaking about power metal: you should check Blind Guardian. A couple of songs for you: Somewhere far beyond, Imaginations from the Other Side, Mirror Mirror, ang if you want another long complex song - And Then There Was Silence. And of course The Bard's Song (In the forest). You shoud found the singer - Hansi Kursh - way more brutal. And they even sound like thrash metal on the early albums, if you seek this kind off stuff, yet they have beautiful, musical and brilliantly written songs. Happy Halloween!

[@bigg2988]

Amen to BLIND GUARDIAN suggestions!

[@adameves5970]

Try some Helloween with Kai on vocals ('85 and '86). "Victim of Fate" ('85) or "How Many Tears" ('86) would be good examples of original Helloween. Check one of those out. Don't worry, they aren't 13 minutes long, lol. But they aren't short. How Many Tears is 7 minutes and Victim of Fate is at least 5.

[@jarkkokyntaja4073]

Marcus Grosskopf, my second favourite bassist of all time, after Steve Harris of course, he really shines on this ! You should do Keeper Of The Seven Keys someday. It is just awesome !!!

[@geggs13]

This is the blueprint for power metal. One of my favorite bands as I grew up listening to them. Kiske's vocals are very clean and powerful that does not click with many metalheads . Previous album to this, Walls of Jericho was more thrashy and raw, with Kai Hansen on vocals and is my favorite album by Helloween. I would recommend the opening track Ride the Sky. Great reaction, guys!

[@IntergalacticApeMan]

Don't worry, I alwas wondered how they became so huge without taking themselves and metal serious. Probably because they resonated with a lot of the guys that weren't into that specific metal scene. Today, I can appreciate them for what they are, but it took me decades, honestly. I've been growing up on a little old school metal by the end of the 80s and then transitioned quickly into Death and Black amongst other things and sure enough, I had my odd choices I'm little ashamed of today, but that's alright, we all have them i guess and usually it always pulls you back in for the real deal. As a German, I probably see Helloween differently anyway, like we never called them Power Metal, that was a typically US style to me for ever. Helloween and the likes were more the beginning of Melodic Speed Metal. Now, there are tons of bands I could request, but my true interest would be in the lesser know Axehammer, cause their "Princess" has that awesome bass work and everything else is rather tight as well. It's really one of my fave bands.

[@ricsithompson6671]

Gamma Ray/ Rebellion in Dreamland is AMAZING!!!

[@scottrobinson4611]

After Hallowe'en week is over, I beg you to listen to a band called Ne Obliviscaris. Good starting points are "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" and "Intra Venus". They are an Australian Progressive metal band featuring two vocalists (one clean, one harsh) and a violin (played by the clean singer). The band has strongly contrasting themes of light and dark that really invoke an emotional response in me, and I'm usually an emotionless rock.

[@nikolasniquete5587]

"Hell was made in heaven" is my favorite Helloween song, and one of the only songs I know lol. But it's good.

Especially German bands like Gamma Ray, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Running Wild etc. They are all pioneers and masters of their craft

[@BlackieNuff]

Hahaha, Wolf and I are in the same Judas Priest boat! While I liked only a handful of songs by JP (the "80s hits", mainly, which amounted to less than 5), it was Painkiller in 1990 that got me hooked - the whole album prompted me to go back and give my Screaming For Vengeance, Defenders Of The Faith, and Turbo albums a more thorough listen - and WOW - I was missing out! That prompted me to bridge the gap between Turbo and Painkiller by acquiring Ram It Down - again, WOW! I was missing out! Even the "commercial" sound of the mid/late-80s (with all the synth guitars and such) did not hurt the metal! I eventually worked my way backwards from the SFV album completing my JP library. And it was pretty much the same story with Ozzy Osbourne, too - I had no real interest save for a few of the "hits", until 1990's No More Tears came along, and the same pattern as JP followed : I dove into the few Ozzy albums I had (Blizzard Of Ozz and Bark At The Moon), which led to filling the gap between those albums and NMT, and then acquiring the Black Sabbath catalog during Ozzy's days with them. What's weirder is I DROPPED Iron Maiden (along with Savatage) around the same time cos I did not care for Blaze Bayley (nor did I appreciate the vocal stylings of Savatage's new frontman Zak Stevens). But I recently corrected that error by picking up where I left off in my IM catalog, acquiring from The X Factor onward (and also corrected my Savatage error by resuming their catalog from 1993 onward once I discovered the TSO in 2000 - and their ties to Savatage since 1996). Funny how our musical tastes work.

[@WolfKain]

Luckily Bark at the Moon was one of the first metal albums I ever bought. Found the cassette by accident at Woolworths after returning Cool and the Gang 🤣🤣

[@thelunarknightlupusetillusio]

Love the reaction Sistah! I’m relatively new to the channel and I love the reactions so far! Some of Helloween’s songs I’d recommend are We Got The Right, Keeper of the Seven Keys, I Want Out, Pumpkins United, Victim of Fate (I think that the version with Kiske is a bit better than the original), Eagle Fly Free, The Sage The Fool The Sinner, March of Time, and Future World. If you like Michael Kiske’s vocals, be sure to check out some of his work with Avantasia and Timo Tolkki’s Avalon. In my opinion, I think that The Land of New Hope (A music track from Timo Tolkki’s Avalon) is one of Michael’s best vocal performances

[@robertgary3520]

[@HalfLifeSistah]

Omgosh, thank you so muuuch!! ^_^ !♥

[@strogaa]

Ah, i love this band since "Walls of Jericho". Even the probably most hated album "Chameleon" from `93, which is for sure NOT the kind of sound people expect from Helloween... but it's a completely underrated masterpiece, absolutely amazing music, epic, melodic, powerful songs with intense feeling... but "sadly" NO Speed- or Power-Metal. Listen to "When the sinner", "Giants", "Music", "I believe", or the wonderful spheric "Longing". It's really worth the try :-) By the way: The first idea of "Halloween" - as far as i know - wasn't even that long. It was just a simple "funny" song written by Kai Hansen. As the bandmembers came together in late 86 to create this album, they recognized, that one song the other guitar player Michael Weikath had written ("Keeper of the seven keys") has got some familiar aspects in the lyrics to "Halloween". So they decided to do a kind of a concept-story with both songs. And that project made both songs longer than they used to be.

[@marcuswilson1655]

While most people will probably suggest stuff off the first 3 albums, Helloween has had 15 albums, a cover's album, and a 25 year anniversary album in 2009. Since you're newer to them, try out some of their more modern and heavier material with Andi Deris on vocals. Songs like Paint A New World (which has a music video), Revelation, The Dark Ride, Hell Was Made In Heaven, or if you want a really short one, Are You Metal? (which also has a music video). If you want a good recommendation for the Kai Hansen era, try Starlight or How Many Tears, and if you want shorter songs that are still great from the Michael Kiske era, try I'm Alive, Twilight of the Gods, Eagle Fly Free, or March of Time.

I almost forgot "Twilight of the Gods"! Shame on me. It is HIGHLY recommended.

Add my vote for the song Keeper of the Seven Keys. Would love to see a reaction to Ayreon's, The Day that the World breaks down. Another epic song, with many great singers. LaBrie from Dream Theater, Sammet from Edguy/Avantasia, Floor from Nightwish, Simone from Epica, Russell Allen from Symphony X and Hansi from Blind Guardian among others. Also a variety of instruments, including Piano, flute, cello, and violin in addition to standard rock instruments.

keeper of the seven keys kings for 1000 years

I think Wolf will be much much more into Helloween with their later more contemporary singer. So listen to Helloween - Revelation or Helloween - Push

So glad you speak of Peter of Vader, I'm seeing Vader this week end with Entombed A.D ! I've been listening to theses guys since I was a teen, still among my most listened bands ever. So excited.

And please show her Painkiller!! Everybody’s first time hearing Painkiller makes them want to lose their mind and I would even venture to say it’s the greatest metal song of all time. She will absolutely love it
