Really a shame he burned out. Don't get me wrong, I love Tommy and I was a fan of Seventh Wonder before he joined Kamelot. I was VERY happy they chose him to replace Roy. 😊

Only question is what Conception song to do. For something from the new album I think I'd pick Waywardly Broken since it covers such a range of vocal style, but Feather Moves is so gorgeous and his voice so ethereal it'd be nice too. The other thing that would be cool to do is Silent Crying 2.0 which shows off his low range that she didn't hear much of on Elizabeth. If she did Silent Crying, she could also compare the new and original Silent Crying and talk about the difference in his voice and style over the years.

Greatest reaction video of all time!!! Khan was indeed trained classically and has impressive natural vocal skills but what really sets him apart is his passion and intensity. He totally lives inside of these songs, better than anyone I've ever seen. So much so that he eventually burned himself out, emotionally and physically. The darkness he portrays so intensely was consuming him and going against his truly nice guy persona. He left the band and went on to become a minister for his local church to find good again. Watch the video for The Great Pandemonium to see him at his most intense evil, he left shortly after that. He has since returned with his previous band Conception, but it just isn't the same for me and many others, he definitely burned his voice out a good bit and the songs aren't this epic. Kamelot got a great replacement in Tommy Karevik, but it just isn't the same either. Khan and guitarist Thomas Youngblood were the perfect combo, neither is quite the same without the other.

Glad you loved it! Roy Khan is an amazing singer, especially when it comes to emotional singing. He was indeed trained by a retired opera singer, for about 3 years when he was in his later teens/early 20s (before he joined Kamelot). Sadly, a couple of years after this show he got burnt out from all the touring and had a mental breakdown...so he took a big break from music and focused on religion (but he recently returned with his band Conception!) I would recommend to react to "Abandoned", from the same live show. It showcases a lot of his low range.

This makes me very happy. Happy birthday firstly and I will definitely be here for the premiere! I love Kamelot.

Great pick for the song here too, Elizabeth is perfectly written and this performance in particular is amazing; the whole DVD is, really, and showcases Roy in tippy top shape (which he always was). Truly happy to still be a fan 25 odd years later and very much looking forward to the band's future. If you wanna have a look at something newer with their current vocalist Tommy (who was in The Day That the World Breaks Down as the opposition leader), they have just recently released a DVD called "I Am The Empire" - I would 100% recommend Sacrimony with Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy and Elize Ryd or Grey Skies with Charlotte Wessels. Both amazing songs, albeit very different.

He eventually left Kamelot, and Tommy Karevik is their new lead vocalist, who you heard in Ayreon's The Day the World Breaks Down (and if I remember correctly, you were impressed!) So you really can't go wrong with anything in Kamelot's catalogue. Other performances from the same concert are a great choice for Roy's vocals; "The Haunting" in particular, if you want to see him perform with Simone Simons. Looking forward to more!

While i wholy agree with you and I love their music i will say that you CAN go wrong with just one thing in their catalog: when Roy Khan left they had Fabio Lione replace him for a few shows.

The Thing about Roy, is that he is a trained opera singer, that switched to sing in rock in a band called "Conception" before Thomas found him and brought him on to Kamelot. After about 5 years with the band, his mentor told him that he was slowly eroding his voice because of how he sung in Kamelot, and he had to make a choice to be opera only, or lose it and be a rock/metal singer.... He choose Kamelot. He ultimately left the band years later because he began to burn out from touring constantly, and because of an instance that had him performing drunk on stage. He has since refound himself, and after a 6 year departure from performing, is now back with his original band "Conception"

Edit: Now that I got the chance to watch the video, I'm glad you liked it! Roy is a true performer, he sings with such conviction, commanding the stage and always 'dripping' in emotion. Since you mentioned the likeness of his falsetto to the one heard in opera singers, he actually has an opera background in his home country of Norway. The woman portraying Elizabeth Bathory here is Mrs. Youngblood, the guitarist's wife and Simone Simons, the singer in Epica is the wife of the headbanging keyboardist haha. She actually joins Roy in this concert for a beautiful song called "The Haunting". To end my rambling I'll mention that Epica got their name from one of Kamelot's albums - that one and its sequel, The Black Halo are both linked concept albums following the story in Goethe's Faust. This concert is a gem, cheers for the video!

One can never go wrong with Kamelot, and with Roy Khan. He's just brilliant, can't say it any better than that. Back when I was a kid, Kamelot was the band that got me into music (having only really heard your typical mainstream music up until then and just not caring much for it at all), but now I simply cannot live without it and have even, thanks to Kamelot and other bands I've discovered since, grown to appreciate your occasional mainstream piece. My first concert was Kamelot, but my brother and I both found out that Roy had quit while we were at the hotel just about to head off to the concert, so I never got to hear him live. My brother was at the very concert in this video, which I gotta admit I'm pretty damn jealous for, ha ha. He's even seen headbanging with his head all bowed during one of the songs... But hey, the replacement vocalist for that concert that I did go to was Fabio Lione, who was the singer of another of my favourite bands, so at least I got that!

Roy was always a very interesting guy to see live. Unlike a lot of metal frontmen, his performance itself was never that flashy or dramatic, but it was his singing itself that was special.

I'm so happy you finally reacted to Kamelot and Roy Khan! Khan is one of, if not my favorite singer of all time. If you want to listen to more of Khan and Kamelot, I would suggest fully immersing yourself in the Epica and Black Halo albums as those go together in a two-part retelling of Goethe's Faust. The Epica album is the namesake of Epica the band, and as others have mentioned, Simone Simons is married to Oliver Palotai, the keyboardist of Kamelot. Those two albums are probably Kamelot at its peak with Khan at the helm, but The Fourth Legacy, Karma, Ghost Opera, and even Siege Perilous and Poetry for the Poisoned are all worth listening to! You can really see his vocal evolution if you go chronologically, as well as the evolution of the band's writing and musical direction. You also MUST listen to his Conception era. Conception has recently gotten back together which is very exciting. My favorite Conception album is In Your Multitude, and is one of my favorite metal albums of all time, but also love Flow and Parallel Minds. The Last Sunset was their first album, and while not bad, it definitely wasn't as strong as the other three. Their new album is called State of Deception and is great as well. As far as future reactions, I would suggest Memento Mori, Live from Belgrade. The concert was recorded and released as a re-release of Ghost Opera called Ghost Opera: The Second Coming. Apparently they were going to turn that particular concert into a Live DVD as well, but something happened with the footage and they decided to not move forward with it, but there is still professionally shot and edited footage of Memento Mori. The footage I see on KZbin isn't quite 1080p quality (audio is fine, video is just a little pixelated). If that is a deal breaker, I would suggest to stick with this concert, One Cold Winter's Night. You really can't go wrong with any songs from this show. There's the ballad 'Abandoned', an early fan favorite in 'Nights of Arabia', crowd singalongs in 'Forever' which was inspired by Edvard Grieg's 'Solveig's Song', guest feature of Simone Simons in 'The Haunting', and more. Maybe you should just react to the whole concert haha. There's also the live album The Expedition which showcases the early Khan-era Kamelot songs from his first two albums, plus one extra from the very first album with the original singer, but there is no footage from what I've found. Can't wait to see you discover more Khan and Kamelot! P.S. The female singer and actress playing Elizabeth Bathory here is actually Thomas Youngblood's wife, Mari!
