KAI CHECKING BOTH GUITARRIST TO SEE IF BOTH DID THEIR SOLO HOMEWORK , PRICELESS, SICK COVER 10

[@CarlosFunes2012]

I love how he stands there like a boss checking those solos. :D

I would do mistake if I were guitarist =D

[@kderinoglu]

I'm pretty sure Kai is dying to have his red flying v at that moment and join the solo with the guys.😎

[@darkangelzephyron]

Kai Hansen - one of the handful of metal singers who hasn't lost any of his vocal abilities through many decades.

[@pierre_gaston]

And don't forget the fact that he's a smoker too.

[@rpga00]

***** In fact thats way better than trying to keep the high notes like Timo Kotipelto, who now cant even sing with the song tuned down. So cheers for Kai, to me the best singer, it's not the best voice but I love it i dont know why, and despite of that the passion he has and the amazing stories he sings just makes him the greatest power metal singer ever.

[@erikson94gremista]

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

How is it that this drummer, Falko Reshoft, isn't more famous?! He is a pure machine on those drums :o I think Helloween should hire him, now that he isn't with Stormwarrior anymore

[@sathanas420]

+Mickey Holm because double bass isnt hard to do?

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

@116947211921702478776 Okay I won't start a discussion here, but he can do much more than playing double bass :)

[@judaspriestly88]

that's an incredibly good idea as this guys drumming is as close to Ingo's as I've ever heard. only I would take it one step further.... helloween should fire Deris, namely because he's awful, and convince Kai to join back on lead guitar and maybe even get Kiske on vocals again. I love Gamma Ray but it seems that kai could use a good change up, their last album or two were just mehhh. I miss old school Halloween :(

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

@117599807373214935555 Agreed. I too get some Ingo-vibes when I listen to this guy's drumming. He would fit the band much better than their current drummer Dani. And you are right. It seems like kai needs something new, and that new could be working with Michael Weikath again! Those two have written so many great tracks together, and they compliment each other so well on the composing, Kai with his rough and powerful riffs, combined with Weikath's melodic and melancholic style -Imagine if they got together and wrote something like "Keeper of the Seven Keys: The Defining". I likes Keeper Legacy, but I don't think you can finish the Keeper-saga without both Kai & Weikath ;) I would love to see Kiske returning as well, as long as he can accept that Kai & Weikath are running things. I liked Andi in the past, and I think he contributed well in the 90s and early 00s, but he is loosing his voice now, and drags Helloween down with him :/

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

***** I think Dani Löble is a fantastic drummer, but the reason I don't like him for Helloween, is that his style is simply too far away from Ingo & Kusch's. He plays the older songs completely wrong, and it's clear that he cannot adapt to them. Dani is too much of a machine on drums, he isn't fluent enough, and it takes so much power away from many of the songs :o Now, about Kai: I have never stated that he has stopped drinking. I've said that Weikath has cut down on the alcohol, while Deris is drinking too much :/

[@mihaelaivanova7118]

did you guys noticed that his is smiling all the time

[@Drummer81able]

Kai is ALWAYS smiling! :-D So yes,I have noticed youre absolutely right about that.

[@PauloHowlett]

Mihaela Ivanova No, I thought he was crying.

[@enold4ever]

@Paulo Felicio Probably because he's old and can't hit those super high notes anymore without his voice cracking up... still good though. :)

He sang fucking great in this video.

Simplemente extraordinario no hay duda que Kai Hansen canta mejor sin la guitarra pero estos guitarristas supieron darle ese power que solo Kai le da incluso se da el lujo de supervisarlos mientras tocan, hasta el baterista es tan bueno que parecía una máquina demoledora como lo era Ingo.

Eledin91, which video are you referring to? I'm interested but watch?v=s1_Mnb5CYq8 is this one ;)

[@Eledin91]

+Silver Shade Wow apparently youtube changes it to this one everytime I try to copy it, I dont know if thats a bug or if its suposed to be like that, wouldnt surprise me if it were intentional coming from youtube... since I cant copy it here you can search for: ride the sky japan, its called "Gamma Ray - Ride the sky (Live in Japan 1990)"

[@silvershade3265]

Eledin91, yes KZbin has many bugs, so maybe that's one of those. Anyway, yes the one you mentioned is great, I love Kai there and often watch it ! I guess you know Helloween Ride the sky Live Eindhoven 1986. The quality is not perfect (30 years ago!) and there are some mistakes (it's a real unedited live ;)) but the performance is great, Kai gives me goosebumps although I must say that in 2008 (when I saw Gamma Ray live) he was still awesome.

[@Olosann]

Oh my God. It is so tight. No single note is missing. there is only a few metal bands that can give such a live performane. Iron Maiden, Kreator, Testament, and...

[@jamescadena2649]

They didn't write the song though

[@felphero]

Ashley Schaeffer Yeah sure I agree, but because they are mostly FANS and not the song writters themselves I think put even more effort in sounding as close to the album as possible, artists sometimes tend to valorize people's work more than their own

[@jamescadena2649]

They did a great job! Ride The Sky was the first Helloween song I have ever heard, I fell in love with power metal and NEVER looked back.
