Helloween Live Reaction + Review | Halloween | Eagle Fly Free | How Many Tears ~Metal Academix

[@isaidstream4547]

Everybody hates the shorter version 😝😝

[@megamare8583]

I love her enthusiasm, can't say the same of him unfortunately

[@SASTORM]

How many tears was originally sang by Kai Hansen The original drummer for all these songs is the late Ingo Schwichtenberg, a true pioneer in fast n' raw metal drumming adopted by almost every speed and power metal band, sadly he comitted suicide in 1995, at that time he was no more in the band due to health reasons which finally determined his fate RIP Ingo, you are so missed in the metal scene and are part of it forever, God may be with you Mr. Smile :)

[@erwinyuniarto9032]

The composer of this song was Michael Weikath

[@V3ntilator]

I prefer Hansen + Ingo version of this song. It's so brutal. It's be best speed metal song ever made.

[@nicolaedutceac1747]

Fantastic Helloween live.. I really like lady reaction.. She know band very well..

[@WariWahab]

The shorter version of Halloween totally cuts off the meat from the song.

[@Bergwacht]

i hate it when anyone does "short versions"...

[@rhicuhromandsyah1957]

I remember saving my lunch money back in the late 80 to buy the Keeper albums, I was still at elementary school at that time. It was my first bought record. Been a loyal fan since. That is why it means a lot to me when they came to my town in Indonesia at 2004 for Rabbit album tour. It was the best show I have ever went to. Legendary.

[@MetalAcademix]

Nice story! I love it when one has a personal memory from a band, an association with a period in one's life or an event or a person. Thanks for sharing! - Anamaria

As a Helloween fan, i must say those 3 songs are enough to see how good this band is. Nice selection!! I would add Sole Survivor as a sample from Deris period, but fair enough

Well done and welcome to the greatest band in the history of metal. Always love when new people are exposed to their long and winding history. Pumpkins United was the most unlikely and greatest tour ever. Keep it up! I was 20 in 1985 when I bought Walls of Jericho. They’ve been my favorite band since that day...Happy Pumpkins to you..

[@fernandooliveira4037]

Kiske and. Helloween are the kings of power metal

[@MetalAcademix]

I agree! And I know that I am a bit biased in favor of Kiske, but I just think his voice is simply incomparable, as you say, king of vocal leads of power metal. - Anamaria

Fantastic stuff. Keep it up!

[@miaorenfeng3620]

I remember a friend trying to sell me on the band with the keeper albums. My reactions was pretty much the same. Stylistically I was a bit put off by the overall mood of the songs and singing (yes, even with Michael Kiske's prowess) my positions was that in style I expected very different things from a metal band back then, I was more like Medadeth, Pantera, etc. So my reaction to them was pretty lukewarm. But as time passed and the Deris era started, I gave me the chance of "not expecting" things from the band, they really won me over to the point I can say they are my favorite metal band from all time. Every incarnation of Helloween contributed very impressive things to their repertoire, and nowadays I love their music from pretty much any period sans Chamelon of course. So just give them time, any mildly complex music is difficult to achieve favorite status on first listen. For me is always a long process, but boy, do I enjoy that process.

[@MetalAcademix]

Great story, thank you for sharing! And I agree with you, more complex music takes longer to get to your mind, but once it does... 🤘 -Anamaria

Thx for the reaction.. you should do another German PowerMetal Band. The name is „Primal Fear“. The connection is Kai Hansen and Gamma Ray... Ralf Scheepers the vocalist of Primal Fear is the former vocalist of Gamma Ray. Greetings from Germany

Kai Hansen also is an original member of Iron Savior, he co wrote watcher in the sky for Iron Savior and later he re-recorded it with Gamma Ray, other thing, Kiske was only 18 years old when he started in Helloween

[@MetalAcademix]

Kai Hansen has single-handedly initiated half of all early power metal bands! (I exaggerate, but by little). The man is a powerhouse of music, and has so many collaborations, just from the ones we have reviewed, Angra, Hammerfall... Probably many others... - Anamaria

[@azal10]

1996 I started to Hear Helloween with the fantastic album "The time of the Oath"

[@MetalAcademix]

"The Time of Oath" is the Nostradamus album, isn't it? I like the title song very much - and the cross references to the old Keeper of the Seventh Keys.

[@azal10]

@@MetalAcademix Yes is the Wizard, The Keeper of the seven keys in The Covering. Its recurrent also in The Master of the rings, as you said. Helloween knew very well that they have to recover after of two previous disasters album, and Keeper of the seven Keys reference would be the Road through to the New Helloween. And they make us to know it very well in two songs from Master of the Rings. 1. Mr Ego (dedicated to Kiske) 2. Still we go ( The New Rising of the Band). Thanks a Lot for react to this great Band.

[@tequilaghoul]

Her reaction to this was great! she was having loads of fun and it was so cute! As for the guy...well...he's as funless as my parents lol. More Helloween stuff from her! or Gamma Ray!

[@MrHapsika]

I wonder if you could make a follow up video of Helloween's Keepers Trilogy featuring 3 of their songs with the next singer as well

[@KaiStrohscher]

How Many Tears is more melodic speed metal than Power Metal. Walls of Jericho was a speed metal album. Maybe, it could be a good idea to play the 1992 Live Version of How Many Tears from Bonn/Cologne with Michael Kiske only.

[@adameves5970]

That's why she said power metal was born with Keeper 1, in 1987. She literally said THAT, and not what you said. 84-86, helloween were known as speed or death metal.

[@satanihelvetet]

I want to explicate a few details about the bands history. Kai Hansen was a guitar player and one of the bands mainly songwriters and also lead singer at their first album. After the first album Michael Kiske joined the band as the singer. Kai Hansen stayed as a guitar player for another two albums before he left Helloween to form Gamma ray. After another two albums drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg and Michael Kiske left the band and was replaced by singer Andi Deris and drummer Uli Krusch.

[@MetalAcademix]

Thanks for this dive in Helloween history! I read there were some tensions between Kai and Michael, which is somehow transparent in the song "I Want Out". We did a Battle of Bands on this song : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpOreaNvbppnj9E

[@satanihelvetet]

@@MetalAcademix I don't know anything about any tensions between Hansen and Kiske. The music took another direction after one or several members left the band. Michael Weikath was another of the bands formers and mainly songwriters and allso an alltime member. Those who left the band had other ideas of the musical direction. My conclusion is that those who left didn't wanna do the music that came from the band at the following albums. Weikath should be the member who had most responsibility for the new direction every time.

[@andreasmozarino7366]

Kiske was unfairly kicked out of helloween (in my opinion). Some of the member blame him for the Chameleon album fiasco (which i feel is a good album). They are the band that make me interested in metal and learning bass and guitar ( The Live in the U.K. album from 1988 if i'm not mistaken ). Has been a fan since i was 14. So that's about 31 years of my life. Weikath is the technical guitarist and Kai is the metal man of the band.

[@satanihelvetet]

@@andreasmozarino7366 Live in the UK was also my intruduction to the band and to be a fan (yes, it was 1988). Also the first album I bought on CD.

[@MetalAcademix]

Thank you for making us grow, and stay tuned for more music! And yes, my mind played a trick on me and for a second Michael Kiske's name got enmeshed with the German actor Klaus Kinski. Thus the confusion. - Anamaria

[@metalstorm7506]

Chris Jericho’s signature move and pseudonym itself is exactly titled “Walls of Jericho” because of Helloween’’s debut, which is one of his favorite ( mine also) Metal albums of all time. Fun fact - Chris is a bass player himself in the moderately famous hard/heavy Canadian band Fozzy. So, yes, that’s exactly where the move “Walls of Jericho “ has its name- after the Helloween debut.

[@MetalAcademix]

That's awesome - didn't know that! Glad to hear the connection was more than a hunch... Seems like there's lots of history between the WWE and metal 🤘 HHH, Jericho, Rowan - this might have to be a future episode topic! -Michael

[@metalstorm7506]

Mind that I remember this from an old Chris Jericho bio which I read in a magazine my mother bought me 20 years ago, yes I was a kid. I didn’t even listen metal back then but it definitely got me curious on the specific topic. Little later afterwards I started looking in a shoe box that contained my father’s audio cassette tapes back from when he was a teenager and there were some things I hadn’t heard about- Deep Purple, Rainbow, Uriah Heep, Accept, Manowar. The rest is history, I am a proud metal head and I will probably remain one for the rest of my life ;) But this interview was the initial sparkle and I am grateful. I guess God works in mysterious ways indeed

[@kjelledbom1728]

Lol no he dosent look as impressed as she does, but its ok, i loved this reaction though and this concert is fantastic whole of it, all 3 singers together. I remember playing these early songs on drums when i was a teen and every song is almost like a whole concert in stamina getting cramp in the legs. Yea as mentioned their earliar drummer killed himself, he was suffering from depressions, ironically though the drummer was called mr smile coz he always was making people happy.

[@isaidstream4547]

Niceee

[@Recas1802]

Maybe not the best selection of songs to start with helloween. I think it would've been better to listen to the studio version of eagle fly free, something from the Deris period (listening to 3 songs, at least one should've been one of the good ones from the Deris period), and instead of the long live version of how many tears, the full studio version of halloween or maybe keeper of the seven keys.

Had we included the long version, our episode would have been way too long. We try to keep the songs at a 10 minute max. Moreover, I thought the video was funny and a sign of the era. I also prefer the long version musically, but it wasn't a feasible option for this context. - Anamaria

[@beastwishes]

A lot of misinformation in this video really especially for a self-professed "heavy metal academic"... no real excuse. No disrespect but if you are going to give people a breakdown of the history of the band then I would suggest being more researched with some of the things you say haha. Helloween formed in 1984 and was founded by Michael Weikath NOT in 1985 by Kai Hansen. I understand you probably wanted to just give an overview and general cliff-notes as well as getting into how exciting the Keeper Of The Seven Keys era is but I think it is very important that you give the proper information, properly. Music videos were also a long, well-established in 1988. Again, it's great that you are introducing a perhaps unaware or uninitiated audience to the idea of Helloween but as a metal fan and a die-hard Helloween fan myself... quite a shame. Again, no offence and it's great that you want to talk about and celebrate Helloween but you should strive to be a little more accurate as to the history and make-up of the band. \m/ If this had been a little more in-depth you would have given a much more accurate portrayal of the band.

[@marcusdedorsson8741]

Are You for real?! Helloweens start was in late 70’s and had the name Gentry. Kai Hansen started that group. Ingo joined Kai. Then they changed name to Second Hell and after that became Iron Fist in 82. First Helloween songs were wrote like Victim of faith, Metal invaders and Gorgar. Than Weikath joined them. He came from the band Powerfool. All this info is so easy to come over now a days. Dont know How You cant that right. I did a Big work in school back in 99 on Helloweens history and got everything right back than only reading interviews on the internet. This is the official history published by Helloween. If you dont believe me check out the Hellbook, Helloweens 30th Anniversary. You Can buy on the homepage Helloween.org. If you want to complain that she didnt get the info right. Dont correct with more missinfo.
