Please be mindful that we will pause (we prefer to react in the moment & to avoid copyright strike), we will react with enthusiasm, smiles, tears, conversation, exchanged looks and air-instruments.

Wow!! That's another full on theatrical piece Nick 👍

[@luisnunes3863]

Nick, thanks for giving Rhapsody their due. It's a band that is getting slowly forgotten. Btw, in Magic of the Wizards Dream Christopher sings with the band. He had an incredible basso cantante voice. P.s. He also earned a Grammy for narration on a Manowar album. P.p.s. Luca plays a custom guitar from a small luthier these days, don't have the fantiest idea about the one in the video. P.p.p.s It wasn't a Grammy, it was a Metal Hammer Spirit of Metal Award.

[@narvik9035]

I have plans to request this song as soon as the regular reactions begin again. I wanted to keep it secret that Christopher Lee sings duet with Fabio Lione until they watch the video.

[@NicknLex]

Does he speak on the song defender of.the god's ? I have heard that.

[@luisnunes3863]

@@narvik9035 Ooops!

[@luisnunes3863]

@@NicknLex I made a mistake, actually. What he got was a Spirit of Metal Award from Metal Hammer for his career contribution, with Rhapsody and his own project Christopher Lee. As well as doing the speaking parts in Defender for the re-recorded Battle Hymn, that were originally done by Orson Welles. Yes, the man started a metal band in his late 70's, unreal... he was preparing a new album when he died, youtube singer Dan Vasc was going to be in it.

[@luisnunes3863]

@@narvik9035 Narvik, since I spoiled your surprise, does a band that sounds like a mix of Rhapsody and Tarja era Nightwish come some way to compensate? Here's Glasya kzbin.info/aero/OLAK5uy_kJ8ALIQhchKYKE_b9m2xjnd-Lo9ohIybE

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi Nick, Love this. It is definitely like a movie epic and would also make a great Rock Opera stage production. Christopher Lee is excellent. Yes he was in Lord of the Rings which suits this perfectly, but lets not forget he also played Dracula for many years ! Music to sink your teeth into. Byee ! Jim X

[@narvik9035]

The chief producers of this record and the videos were Joey DiMaio from Manowar Sascha Paeth from Avantasia La Vaque from Shadow Gallery

[@JLMonroy07]

Muy buena reacción, saludos desde México. Sería genial que reaccionaras a Erian's Mystical Rhymes en vivo.

Luca uses Capelli guitars, it's Italian handmade. His latest model looks like a violin!

[@alessandrosoriano5475]

Its french handmade to be correct 😅.

[@zayievinuoangami6455]

New sub from nagaland . Ty for reacting many rhapsody songs. One final react to rhapsody plz "the mystic prophecy of the Demonknight" full of epic n thrash vocals from fabio too

[@NicknLex]

2 more coming soon!!!

[@elchuky1942]

Que grande NICK saludos 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@bmac1205]

Nick, du bist wirklich ein Metal-Maniac!

[@0takuN64]

Can't wait until you get to the Kiss Of Life from Rhapsody of Fire. One of my favorites!

[@morbid333]

The only problem with the music video is that they cut out part of the solo. There's actually a behind the scenes documentary of making this album on KZbin (there's also one of the Magic of the Wizard's Dream video,) which is pretty interesting, and Christopher Lee says something I found funny. I guess they asked him why he decided to do this, and he said something like, One should try everything during one's career, with the possible exception of adult movies. Edit: Actually, cancel that, I just saw the solo, that is the whole thing. I must've been thinking of something else. Another Edit: You mentioned Running Wild at the end. I've heard of them, but never really listened to them. There are a few Pirate bands now, but the only one I really listen to is Alestorm, who have turned into a meme band more recently, (ever since they wrote that song about running out of ideas for songs, Scraping the Barrel.) They don't take themselves seriously at all, As long as you realize that, it's kind of fun.
