About Wacken: the 2008 show will certainly not be remembered as one of the best in your career. What happened? ROY KHAN :“A sequence of unfortunate events … that night I slept very little, I got up late and to not miss the last shuttle available, I had to skip breakfast. I arrived in the backstage on an empty stomach and someone gave me a quarter-full bottle of whiskey and I don’t know why, but after twenty minutes, the bottle was empty! While I was on stage, I realized that it would be the longest 50 minutes of my career. It was the first and last time I performed drunk. What terrible timing! I remember Thomas saying: «Why Roy? You barely drink…and of all places you manage to get completely drunk at Wacken?”

Where's this interview link? I would like to read it ;D

[@ShagrathXIV]

at 44:00 he's like "wooooho I'm drunk as fuck"

[@MauroFarina91]

Even if he was drunk, he sang better than other sober singers

[@levihan3777]

It’s hard to tell he’s drunk. If I had as much as he had to drink, I’d be crying and barfing lol

[@leydivan]

Foi um momento difícil para Roy, mas ele é meu ídolo e deu a volta por cima. Kamelot não é nada sem você, mesmo que o cantor atual seja muito bom. Mas Roy é Roy! Já curto Kamelot há 13 anos e vou envelhecer ouvindo. Thomas é alguém que eu queria como amigo; o cara é visionário. No mais Kamelot será sempre minha banda!

[@Jeferson_hetfield]

Roy e único meu vocalista favorito

[@guynaiman]

Props to Khan, who tried his best. I hope he feels better and is happy today!

[@lagulas]

Hello from future. He will be back

[@RammmFan]

Roy even while was sick, or drunk, tried his best, overstraining himself, pulling strings so high, to perform the best he could. This is the artist, which we deserve, true talent and master of this style

[@rma8983]

He is, was and will be awesome. Instead of cancelling the show as all singers would have done, he tried his best! He is awesome!

[@PETTERIKALASNIKOW]

You are absolutely right.. he is and I LOVE KAMELOT

[@rma8983]

Yep!!! :3 love Roy!!!!

[@allenzillmer1917]

+Michi a Bravo to Roy. Such a nice guy and talent up there with the best

[@GuitarDoco]

Map a why would he need to have cancelled the show?

[@EstevanDrummer]

I don´t think he tried his best, it seems to me he was bored to be in the band and maybe didn´t like to sing those songs anymore... That´s what I get from his way of singing, he sounded great whenever he wished to but on other parts he didn´t even try.

[@NoxanderTube]

I'm very impressed how professional how Roy was.

[@Lucas_Williamson_Drums]

this show really does break my heart!

[@Celio19891]

It really is a testament to a singer's talents that even when at far less than 100 percent most other singers still can't even touch him/her. Khan is such a singer and while he's not my absolute favorite all time vocalist (second place in my opinion) you'd be hard pressed to find a whole lot of other singers with not just the range and technique but also the passion and conviction that Khan possessed. Still holding out hope that one day he'll get back into music on a professional level even if he doesn't do any full time year long touring (which I wouldn't blame him for).

[@Skyzeri]

Aw. Seeing this makes me realize that Khan really did need a break. Tommy really does a wonderful job of filling this spot though, and I'm thankful for all of the hard work that both singers have done to make this beautiful music.

[@veronicatajes1886]

I did not create controversy or anything like that, just that even though my heart breaks I also see also Roy, the show was going to be amazing, in fact it is not 100% but is spectacular! I hope you will also share what I see and not the bad side of Kamelot. And thanks for all the comments! // No quise generar polemica ni nada similar, solo que a pesar de que a mi tambien me rompe el corazon ver asi a Roy, el show iba a ser increible, de hecho lo es, no al 100% pero es espectacular! Espero que ustedes tambien vean lo que quise compartir y no el lado malo de Kamelot. Y gracias por todos los comentarios!

[@Tirryna]

He was sick during this. Sick and still pulled this off! Dude rocks

[@robertoMC-32]

+Veronica Tjs Totalmente de acuerdo, en realidad el hecho de que Roy no estuviera al 100% y ver su nivel de entrega y esfuerzo, es conmovedor.

[@lovesurfbunny]

The quality of the filming in this show was really bad, but it's not your fault, you made a good decision to share this show, Roy did his best and he was amazing. Thanks for sharing this

[@blucu001]

@@Tirryna The sign of a true consummate professional.

[@giordanosiddi6722]

Roy: Drunk as fuck, goes on stage, can sing and most importantly he keeps time. Me: Drunk as fuck, does not go to work, canoot stand on my feet and most importantly I'm capable of communicate only with mumbles. Respect Roy. Respect

[@Kost135]

Well it depends on how much drunk you are I guess

[@digitalhoard1975]

Lol, Roy Khan sick was still better than 90% of vocalists on their best day. I miss Roy :(:(:(:(:(:(

[@nicolainilsen5101]

SwagMaster McSwizzle he was drunk. He confirmed it in an interview recently. Had a bottle of whisky on an empty stomach.

[@jonyto81]

So sad to see this. However, Roy had one of the most beautiful voices i´ve ever heard.

[@edreika]

Hace tiempo vi este video sin conocer el contexto de este día. Habrá sido hace años y antes de conocer bien a Roy, así que creí que como otros cantantes que existen, su voz en vivo era así. ¡Qué ingenua! Por alguna razón empecé a buscar otros materiales en vivo y me di cuenta de que es increíble su talento y su emotividad. Él realmente ama cantar, tiene una voz brillante, colocada en todos sus resonadores, una facilidad para cambiar entre voz de pecho y falsete que ni se oye el paso, un diafragma bien entrenado, no resopla como algunos hacen al respirar, no se queda a media frase porque el aire le falló, su voz es plena de armónicos, y su vitalidad se muestra cada vez que canta. De verdad es un tesoro una persona que no sólo tiene el don sino que da su alma en cada interpretación. Creo que a todos nos llega una lección para aprender en un punto de nuestra vida, y sin duda esta interpretación fue un sufrimiento porque físicamente ese día tuvo muchos eventos desafortunados y sabemos que el cantante tiene su instrumento dentro de sí y se ve afectado por las emociones. El resultado fue caótico, sin embargo queda claro que pese a todo lo sucedido en ese escenario es un ser dotado de valor, talento, habilidad, carisma, pasión. amor, respeto... El es un ser musical en sí mismo y eso no se puede dudar. Mi respeto, admiración, bendiciones y amor para el ser interior que es Roy Khan.

[@0101moonlight]

He tried so hard, I thought he was sick. They put so much pressure on him... I am so happy he's back, I even dreamt of meeting him in person, that would be a dream come true :)

[@josemanuelfernandezfernand1408]

Poor Roy... I love him.

[@psytron939]

What a SICK setlist that was!!

[@metal0587]

He was sick in this show. You can notice that there's something wrong with his breathing and with his lungs. In some songs he doesn't even sing the whole verse because he doesn't have the power to do that. Yet he deserves respect 'cause he tried everything to sing for the people out there.....

[@MauroFarina91]

Someone said he was drunk during this show. But he sang much better than other sober singer.

[@viniciuseduardobomfim]

​@@MauroFarina91 Yeah, Roy was a bit sick, but the main problem here is that he was exhausted after long hours inside a plane and rather than resting, eating properly and hydrating, he chugged a huge bottle of booze on an empty stomach. So the effects of the alcohol kicked in much faster than he expected.

[@b.entranceperium]

As much as I like Tommy as a replacement, wish I could have seen them live with Roy.

[@thefallenmyst]

Having seen them live with Roy several times, it was epic. Tommy is a great replacement, but Roy was one of the best performers, period.

[@VinNyX7KROF]

Oh my God!! I looked for this show my whole life!! Roy Khan it's so amazing

[@dianagalli8605]

Poor guy needed a break!!! still sounds good and did his very best!!!!!

[@PATROLBOAT73]

SUPERB CONCERT !!! ALL ROUND BRILLIANCE

[@SazukaruSetou]

Thank you for re-uploading this.

[@user-zb5pp1md6y]

Roy, he was really sick, as you guys can know from the flu, just light flu can affect the vocal cord though because it is so delicate part of our body. Even for professional, it is hard to sing with bad illness let alone for normal person like me.

[@nixutps]

true

[@crawletas]

he had a burnout

[@nicolainilsen5101]

최무진 he was drunk. Read this recent inteview with him. loudandproud.it/roy-khan-risveglio-della-forza/

[@alissonbio4784]

The best Voice of metal

[@johnfra1138]

RESPECT FOR U ROY !

[@Tributorious]

When Roy is sick he uses the same singing technique as I do

[@jorge6374]

Es el mejor concierto que he visto el escenario todo soy fan a kamelot y mi respetos para roy khan se esforzo mucho

[@ikarus4238]

Roy forever! God bless you my friend

[@marcopaco8381]

Che cantante eccezionale..❤❤❤❤❤

[@sofiaguevara1104]

2016 y lo sigo escuchando😜👌

[@GabrielOlympic]

Roy was sick just the day of the show, but was making the most of it. Roy scored story, Tommy is good, but nothing as magical as the voice of Roy; D

[@HeyitsMartyn]

Aye, plus Roy was the face of the band, he wrote most songs, adapted the bands style and changed them for the better, you can see the difference from before he joined to when he did.

[@GabrielOlympic]

***** yes, but his voice was already very tired from 2005

[@HeyitsMartyn]

+Gabriel Braga yeah I'm not denying it, it shows. But he still changed kamelot for the better, which is something Tommy can't do.

[@GabrielOlympic]

***** hahahaha your opinion because for many the band is great with Tommy

[@HeyitsMartyn]

+Gabriel Braga argumentative for the sake of it I see. You're just reading what you want to. Because I haven't stated Tommy isn't good, nor that the band has gone downhill. But whatever.

[@denniscarroll3164]

One of the greatest front men of all time!! Sorry to see you leave the most awesome band in existence.

[@allenzillmer1917]

He got "colors of my eyes" and "corners of my Mind" backward. Poor Roy :(

[@luciaalejandrafloreschumac5918]

Que conciertaso, sin duda de los mejores discos de KAMELOT *-*

[@user-es1sk2we6j]

Roy is The Greatest singer in metall EVER!!!

[@dandogful]

The backround female vocalist so hot she looks like a brunette version of Simone Simones of Epica. I wish she was singing some lead vocals

[@user-es1sk2we6j]

Roy ,we love you!

[@nataliamartins7425]

amo kamelot

[@RealityCheck6969]

I can count the pixels in this video on my hands. :D

[@MauroFarina91]

We can count the pixel on our hands. But Roy, even if he was drunk, sang better than other singers.

[@MeTuLHeD]

Wow. That chick background vocalist is RED HOT!

[@jeffreystevens8042]

TAKE MY ENERGY ROY

[@wilsondinonaruto]

Se fosse no Brasil o povo não seria chato :\

[@xeron89]

240p? really? which year is this? 1995?

[@ezioauditore6038]

@Felipe it affects the sound quality too

[@andyhicks6826]

I was at this gig and I didn't realise that he was sick, I just thought he was terrible, which surprised by because their studio stuff sounded great. But it wasn't just the singing that was off, it was probably the most quiet band all day and it sounded off. This clip actually sounds better then being there though!

[@allenzillmer1917]

+Top hat Jones I'd take sick Roy Khan over 100% anyone else :)

[@Zaxael]

Top hat Jones so my theory maybe is correct, as I noticed Thomas and Casey wrong timing here and there, maybe the stage was not so good as everyone think. And I noticed and Wacken it happen often, other artist less "important" got not good audio service (ussualy who perform during the daylight) if we think on the whole things in the shoes of the band, it's normal they sound not at their best, you have to show with the singer sick, and that already is not good for the stamina, if you find the stage not as you expect will make you confuse, song by song Roy loose his voice even more, I can just imagine in their mind how much things they thinking in that moment! :)

[@pascalj100]

First song was alright, but after the voice gotten heat up, everything went down. I think this Wacken video should have a main section comment, which states that Roy was sick and extra link for one cold winter's night. )))

[@cecyloperena9852]

¡Thanks!!! :D

what a beautiful woman and this

[@caritademelon]

Fantastic old times :) Although Conception is Great too♥️

[@willianmarques2652]

Center of The Universe is the best!!!

[@aa-ye1wd]

Quite sad to see this, the show is good, but his voice is nowhere near what it was in the 2005 DVD. Poor guy

[@SuperJoeymaggot]

[@vicentedepaulaassis42]

Was it just me who noticed the beauty of the background singer?

[@jerrymyers4737]

Oh how I wish I could have been there!

[@Tangosetentaycinco]

I love Kamelot a lot, they're one of my favorite bands and i've seen them live like 4 or 5 times but this show was not up to pair, he (roy)seems distracted and discordinated with the rest of band and sometimes a little off key in some songs and harmonies, but i still love them, they're an awesome band

[@metal4360]

En este show Roy estaba re puesto....hace poco vi una nota en la q contaba q se clavo media botella de whisky y q el no tomaba pero no sabia x q lo hizo esa vez

[@metalhead3066]

it's sooooo sad 2 watch this. 2 c an amazing artist like this, get sick. his voice was amazing. when I heard it, I get goosbumps. (i'm not good @ spelling). he was doing his best for his fans. so loyal, I respect that of u. I hope u feel better roy and come back in our metal lives. we miss u \m/

[@EuropeTribute]

Me encanta Kamelot, pero me da mucha pena que ROY no haya podido disfrutar del show por la exigencia vocal que le demandó la performans.

[@DarkGame11]

He is sick, but still is great in the firsts songs!!!

[@misterantonis1231]

It's not sickness, it's nothing. It's just a simple reminder from Roy, who actually told us "Hey, I'm not God. Here, I'm imperfect too". The master of all..!!

[@lanceanderson3540]

awesome

[@Diabolo2014]

Who is the girl behind?

[@fabiana2908]

Well... This is tense, he was really ill. During The Hauting specially, I felt bad for him, such an embarassing situation.

[@Zaxael]

Bibi The Haunting song it's hatd to sing, not for the note, but for the breath, if you wrong take the right breath you will not able end the phrases, obviously trying sing that song with flu will make the thing almost impossible

[@angieand89]

I respect Kamelot and Roy a lot, I'm a big fan of them since 2005... but more than sickness, this sounds like a bad singing technique throughout the years, and if you hear their records with attention you can hear the loose of range because of it. When he speaks at the very start and between songs he sounds healthy. I'm not trying to be disrespectful with them because i really love their music... but if you hear the fourth legacy and then ghost opera, in some parts he sounds like two different singers... so sad ... :(

[@elite_m97]

Wait. You really think that a unique vocalist as The Great Roy Khan can sing with Kamelot for more than 12 years and have an improper singing technique? Really? He studied opera for years, so you are wrong. Also, there are shows AFTER the 2008 Wacken that he nailed. Cause this date is still from the Ghost Opera tour. Shows from the PFTP tour sound great, at least the ones that are uploaded... Anyway, a busy tour schedule killed off his voice, not the technique.

[@viniciusbueno1445]

Saudades eternas do Roy Khan! :')

[@CriticsConfession]

It's kind of a shame that one of the only properly filmed performances with Roy is this one where he's fucking sick lmfao

[@helgatechehaki5653]

Определенно запрещено было выходить на сцену и петь с такой инфекцией и больными связками. Весь опухший, с синяками под глазами, шатающийся он даже не мог говорить - хрипел. Но такой человек не мог подставить друзей по группе. Бывших друзей. Которым на его здоровье было ...ть (начхать) как тогда, так и сейчас. Зато они быстро нашли замену тому, кого заменить априори нельзя. Где-же сейчас Камелот? На дне power-metal индустрии с вокалистом-пожарником который ещё и пытается уподобится образу предыдущего вокалиста, которому до сих пор по артистизму и самоотдаче равных не найти.

[@siulbelt]

Upload Children Of Bodom Show at Wacken 08' please:(((

[@didial]

Même si c'est très bon, au bout de 20 minutes de concert, Roy perd sa voix et termine le show avec beaucoup de difficultés.

Considering Roy was sick, he actually did a lot better than say Vince Neil does today at full health (marginally anyway).

[@bassdrummer9849]

poor roy. Too bad that his voice was not good right at that concert. Amazing that he has not made ​​every effort to properly act. he remains truly one of the best power / and progressive metal singers in the world.

[@BigGooberful]

I think watching this, if anything, makes me like Roy all the more. He may not sound the best, but despite being sick, and probably feeling like crap. Hell, if he had a chest infection, I imagine that could be painful, too (Not sure, but, yeah), especially when singing. Despite that, he not only still did the concert, but still gave it his all. At least, I believe he did. It looks that way from watching him. And I think that's awesome. I don't know for sure, but I imagine not many singers would still sing, despite being sick and not singing the best. Also, he seems to care about global warming, or at least the atmosphere thinning, and I like that.
