HOLY SH...! - AYREON - Everybody Dies - Reaction

[@General_Cartman_Lee]

If you want to hear more of Maggy Luyten I suggest Intergalactic Space Crusaders also from the Ayreon Universe show. It's a very catchy duet with Damian Wilson. The song was originally performed by Damian Wilson and Russell Allen for Arjen's first Star One album. Speaking of Star One, a young Floor Jansen was participating in the first album in 2002 and was joined by her sister Irene on the following tour. Since then both work regularly with Arjen on his various projects.

[@TimoArula]

@@mandje2002 Thank you ! Updating now !!!

[@Loovalee]

Never heard of them. Thank you for this experiance!

[@suepoole8323]

got all ready to watch, then knocked a full mug of coffee all over keyboard, mouse and desk, so my apologies for being late. Loved this, so theatrical what a night out their concerts must be...Now I am not in the murderous mind I was in an hour ago.. Just Fabulous.. will be checking them out real soon.

[@erwinmulder1338]

HOLY SH..! Right back at you. You live in the Netherlands and did not know this project until like 2 months ago? The only place they ever perform is in Tilburg! You just missed out on the concerts in September '23: 01011001 - Live beneath the waves. There's three video's on Arjen's channel for you to check out.

[@Paul_C]

Wrong, the the Theater Equation was performed in the New de la Mar theatre in Rotterdam, 2015... The other ones were Tilburg 2017 Universe, 2019 Into the Magic Castle and Other Tales. Latest one was this year Beneath the Waves this year.

[@black4pienus]

'Valley of the Queens' (live) from Ayreon is another you'll love. It has Floor Jansen and Anneke van Giersbergen!

[@Anony--Mous]

Valley of the Queens is something else

[@elainecherry7765]

That was a cool experience. Thanks for bringing this one to our attention.

[@renejensen7799]

Holy odin your right, Areyon is one of a kind, and the liveshows is, its only done live i think every 2nd year or so, with 5 concerts in Tilburg!! so thats a concert you would like to go to..hell yes..

[@mandje2002]

Ayreon, Tilburg and 5 shows in a weekend (15000 spectators in total)

[@renejensen7799]

@@mandje2002 ok thanks, corrected my mistakes in my post..

[@rickd8024]

Hey Viking! My wife, who's very chronical ill, was very dedicated to your channel. She even surprised me with a reaction video on your channel by After Forever for our 25th wedding anniversory. Thank you for doing that. Knowing her, she didn't play the chronical ill card, she always wanted to be connected whithout predujice. She's a trekky as well and hopes you're doing great in your job.

[@VikingReacts]

Monolith of doubt… indeed I don’t think she played that card. I hope she’s doing ok! Say hi to Karolien and tell her I’m doing fine with with the job ;)

[@damianvc31]

You have to watch the whole Ayreon Universe show, it's just amazing Arjen only does a handful of special live shows every 2 years or so, he doesn't like touring (and with this project it's impossible of course) But when he does he goes all out for pure awesomeness

[@zsuzsanna1416]

It was a very special, cool performance. I really liked it. Thank you Viking. ❤

[@CatharinaMargarina]

Aw, missed the premiere by a matter of minutes, but so happy you liked it! I'm gonna have a hard time not filling your website with ayreon suggestions, lol! and star one... and plan nine... and all the artists' own bands... it's a deeeeep rabbit hole hahaha! And yesss, Marcel Coenen ftw!!! \m/

[@572Btriode]

Ah, the friendly Klingon on guitar.

[@SergioSBloch]

it is Jansen^2 with Floor and Irene Jansen (backing vocalist) - they both have been working with Arjen on several projects. They are both stellar tallents.

[@MRK_NL]

Since you are a Trekkie you might be interested in seeing an actual Star Trek actor who had a role as narrator in the Ayreon live show "Electric Castle Live And Other Tales". From that show: Ayreon - Amazing Flight kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGasmqele72Wbacsi=rMmRHxYJzclVqR8J It also features a rare appearence of mr. Ayreon himself.

[@Qwarzz]

There's plenty of stuff from Arjen and dozens of brilliant singers to hear. Everyone who comes on stage during the Universe live gets introduced so I tend to suggest that people should watch it in order.

[@randalljones4370]

Yay ! Someone else heard the 'heart beat' in the opener. "Lub-dub, lub-dub lub-dub" , swung wonderfully in kind of a laid-back jazzy way, AND it ENDS on the phrase 'Everybody Dies". - how perfect. Pitting Michael Mills against Marcela Bovio in a game of 'Who has the Highest Pitch" must be a soundcrew's worst nightmare. I wonder if they ever blew a horn driver on that song? The Hammond : Joost has a chopped B3 up there, but the keyboard he was playing at that moment was a Nord synth.

[@jasonmarshall7572]

Did you notice Irene Jansen Floors sister the first backing vocalist

[@Bonovin]

Irene Jansen . Lizette van den Berg and Macella Bovio

[@JaneDoe-ge5di]

Please more from Ayreon! Maybe River of Time or Age of Shadows ? Thanks for reacting to this song. ❤ It s one of my favs!

[@ricofila5816]

just wow.... i love floor jansen

[@colinhawley8050]

Mike Mills is a monster, and you should totally check out Toehinder, his solo project

[@Touffarth]

Seconded! He has some spectacular stuff and a great variety of songs and sounds

[@erickvermeulen9734]

To me the biggest star is Joost van den Broek, I love his keyboard work on this song. Micheal Mills (Toehider) is great in his role as robot TH-1 (with the wires on the head).

[@felipecampos3045]

Check out the songs from their latest show "live beneath the waves" they are amazing

[@Thorgrim247]

Mike Mills is plying the role of the computer (TH-1) who is attempting to take control and eradicate humanity. You also need to check out "Star of Sirrah" from this same show. Check out the new release of "Fate of Man" from their most recent show. Awsome stuff. Where did you have the opportunity to meet Floor? At a meet & greet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZWoeYSEdr-mf9E - Ayreon - Star of Sirrah (Universe) LYRICS IN SUBS kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6WccmedZ9ybedE - Ayreon - Fate Of Man (01011001 - Live Beneath The Waves)

[@Mars-is4un]

🤗🍒🤘🏻 well done Not only Floor was, but also her sister Irene in the background Singers

[@black4pienus]

One of the background singers is Irene Jansen, sister of Floor! This is such a fun performance.

[@pancentricism]

Believe it or not, there's a live version of The Day The World Breaks Down recently posted. Several of the singers are not the same as on record, but they are all just as good.

[@BrendaKruger-o5n]

Very very excellent. That young lady should get together with dan v. She has a powerful voice. Thank you. Do music in the morning with my java. Hail viking.❤ mary b.

[@quinnbrentson151]

Im late to the party, but yes, that was Hansi Kursch from Blind Guardian, bouncing off of Tommy Karevic from Kamelot and Seventh Wonder. I also highly recommend Fate Of Man, with Britney Slayes of Unleash the Archers (and Michael Romeo of Symphony X if you do the studio version)

[@Sylkar8_]

Arjen’s universe is totally worth to explore. The Source album from Ayeron is a masterpiece; personally i super enjoy his Star One project, they released a new album last year or a couple of them, and each song is dedicated to a sci-if movie, and cannot stop myself to recommend you “prescient” (film primer) and Fate of men (that has now a live performance online) film: terminator. Enjoy!

[@umarae27]

Fun!!

[@sharlin648]

If you liked this, you should totally watch the live version of The Sixth Extinction by Ayreon, its from their newest release and its AMAZING!

[@majbrat]

So great!

[@shoemaker688]

Arjen does what he does. Simple and plain.

[@Anony--Mous]

You should check out the whole album, the Source. Not necessarily as a reaction but it's basically a sci-fi rock opera.

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

Check out EVERYTHING from Arjen Lucassen. Yes, the godfather behind all this beauty is Arjen Lucassen. He writes science fiction stories, and then convert them into epic music. The problem is: he has no band.....Well, no problem at all because all those world class singers love to sing for him. He is a joy to work with, a really nice guy and knows which voice to put where in his music. At the live shows they all are having a great time. The joy radiates from the podium igniting the international public. So they not only love the music they perform, they also love to work together. It is a happy reunion from professionals. And that joy shows!!! Check out the entire "live beneath the waves 01011001" concert from 2023. I was there and am still recovering from it. Eternal goosebumps and dry eyes from all those tears of joy spend. I divide time in years before Aureon and years after that. They are THAT good!!!!

[@SYNtemp]

They're both there, both Jansen sisters... Irene is in the trio of "ayren angels"... For a song out of this show which is allmost exclusivelly "Floors" try Merlin's will... but in fact, the whole show is excellent, can't go wron with any and all of 'em 😀

[@erwinamesz7642]

You should react to the lastest Ayreon release: the live version of The fate of Man with Brittney Slays!!!!

As you like StarWars you should react to Ayreon Amazing Flight Live (2020) with an introduction by Q

Hallo Viking, Groeten uit Twente heb je al door dat van het eerste nummer waar je op gereageerd hebt een live versie op youtube staat uitgebracht door Arjen zelf? En voor een volgende reactie graag intergalactic spacecrusader.

[@northof4912]

You’re a Dutch Viking? So is Arjen? How did you not know who he is?
