[TheRealTimious]

I love Avantasia & Sonata Arctica so much xD

[ThePowahAngle]

Damn ! Tobias is the hottest man on tha planet ! <3 C':

[Jonoichi]

With my next paycheck i'm buying Opera of Metal The Scarecrow and The Wicked Symphony. This band is amazing.

[Elusareth]

If anyone is obsessing over the dude's change of looks, I think you're going about this whole music thing all wrong.

I don't care if he dies his hair black and puts neon highlights in it to try and look like that girl from Scott Pilgrim. It's his shit. Good luck to him in whatever he decides to do (music, or appearance).

Awesome bunch of albums, also. I think that goes without saying, but I want to feel at least mildly on topic.

[homashijma]

this album is wonderful. 

[angelusdimortis]

Avantasia is one of the best projects ever made, imposible to compare with, and, If the metal opera was good the scarecrow is one of the best albums ever made, I can't deny that the change of look of Tobias Sammet was really heavy, but the look doesn't make metal, metal is a way of life, is attitude

[myroflcopterisnice]

Tobias looks like a douche now.

[pucciametalhead777]

I love this man

[pucciametalhead777]

I love this man!

[GChacon012]

best album EVER!!!

[SonOfSiriusVII]

Genial!! Encabronadamente genial!!

[slayer692009]

Avantasia = Dream Team of metal!

[TheRunawayTrain20]

It's a shame they won't come to the U.S. for some time.

[MrEarthshaker]

@TheRunawayTrain20 so true...

[Computerheros]

@Computerheros In order... The Scarecrow at beginning, Shelter from the Rain starting at 0:57, Devil in the Belfry 1:45, Carry Me Over 2:24, goes back to The Scarecrow at 2:47. If you haven't yet, get the whole album, because they're all great songs.

[fdol125]

the EPK in the title stands for Epik haha xP

[BruNo0WL]

Can't understand why Andre Matos isn't with them anymore.

[soffa]

Avantasia and Tobias are legends!! Jorn as well and every one that are on that album!!!

@Dimal427 Devil In The Belfry

[fdol125]

@Dimal427 Devil in the Belfry (:

[Scorpiory929]

OMFG!!!!!!!! awsome intro

[CarpeNoctemZise]

i totally agree with what tobias say.

music doesn't need a specific label.

it's rock/metal/whatever. it doesn't "change a single note", like he said.

[Hrvo182]

avantasia{dot}net doesn't exist..you mean tobiassammet{dot}com?

[A7XDom]

@TheKnowing007 This is not Facebook. Get a life

[TheKnowing007]

@A7XDom i didn't post this fucked up comm some a fucker friend of mine did it...do you fucking think i ever care about this bullshit??

[SAMMET710]

Tobias is a Mr.Singer!!!!! 

[X5h0t3r]

oh Eric!!

[TheHess1]

Where is his long hair?? :S

[kasarific]

Is Tobias Irish? he sounds Irish.

[TheLittleBoyNextDoor]

@kasarific GERMAN!!! YEAHH!!!

[CamDog2000]

This album is friggin EPIC! I love Edguy so I thought I'd check out Avantasia, and I cannot get enough!!

[ThunderstormKnights]

Tobias is so hot *.*

[knightsllider]

the first song is scarecrow... same name of the album

[DarkXardas]

what's the name of the song at the beginning? :-)

thx 4 answering

[4n7r4x91]

@DarkXardas meeenn it was "The Scarecrow" form the album Scarecrow

[mestrini]

Awesome composer/song writer and one of the best metal voices EVER!! (listen to the voice game he plays with the audience in the live track in "Theater of Salvation"

What a package!!

TOBIAS FTW!

[socksworn]

best metal singer ever!!!

[sodomizer4862]

The Toy Master

[chopantura]

in which song is Alice Cooper taking part?

[boerakker15]

The Scarecrow thebest

[akedibo]

ROY KHAN!

[lydvingen]

The singer of Cameltoe =))

[akedibo]

Maaybeee?

[gutendag]

I think Tobias decided to prove that he can get out of his normal type of music and still make some goodamn music.

I think "The Scarecrow" is one of the best album avantasia has ever made, not because of the songs, but of it's variety of genres.

[femoman]

@gutendag Agreed. Even with their 2 new albums, I still think Scarecrow is the best. Metal Opera 1 and 2 are pretty good, but there are too many gaps filled with filler tracks, Lost In Space is too short, and Wicked Symphony and Angel of Babylon have a couple of songs that aren't exactly amazing.

Scarecrow is the best one.

[2020895]

@femoman you are so fucking right.. but i think the metal opera 1 is very good

[lunne14]

@gutendag and everything matches perfectly :D

[frehleyscomic]

Jorn Lande makes this album!!!

[draguert]

yeah

[ScarcticCG]

The Scarecrow blew me away- one of the best songs I've ever heard, and defiantly the best by Avantasia. It's just a shame that they've gone all prockey...

[SuperGoldenOwl]

full blown pop rock eh? someone wasn't paying attention to the video whatsoever

[gdesouza01]

you compare dragonForce with Avantasia!

suck my dick motherfucker!

[RandomlineProduction]

I wasn't comparing anything.

[2ndCthulhu]

Oh holy damn that line made me lol! xD

Always so straight-forward? ;)

[agenn23]

@gdesouza01 DragonForce makes Justin Bieber look good.

[teken1000]

@gdesouza01 avantasia = epic win

dragonforce = epic FAIL!

[MrHumanToilet]

@teken1000 yes avantasia realy = epic win but DF = good not epicFail

[Ihatecoldnnnirror]

@gdesouza01 No , you can't compare DF with Avantasia , because theyre totally different. But I like both of them. They are both pretty cool.

[bjarnifreyr]

@gdesouza01 hahaha.. You wouldnt want that guy who compared them to dragon force to suck on you

[BlackWolfEdenBlue]

@gdesouza01 dragonfoce WTH!! dragonfoce es SSSUUUCCCKKKK!

[IosonoLaLau]

@gdesouza01 Hahahah I love you xD

[ivan95ization]

@gdesouza01 you got wrong he should suck all dicks of the world

[heafyFUCKINmetal]

@gdesouza01

totally true!!

Dragonforce sucks sooooo bad!!

Always the same boring songs...!!!!

[PbDeth]

@heafyFUCKINmetal I disagree, DragonForce has their gems. Black Winter Night is arguably one of the greatest power metal songs every written.

[quinzecentavos]

@gdesouza01 dragon what?

[Aniland]

This is one of my favorite albums ever. The sequel will be just as awesome!

[OIKspr0duct1ons]

i agree i cant wait double album aswell, double the awsome epicness :)

[panxo1602]

Tobias Sammet

The Best!!!

[XxDeineOmmaxX]

tobias sammet, roy khan and jorn lande FTW!

3 of the best metal singer ever

[zete619]

0:00 > The Scarecrow

0:57 > Shelter from the rain

1:46 > Devil in the Belfry

[jopie3434]

Shelter from the rain, third song on the album ;)

[Evil0Ghost]

@jopie3434 and the best song in the album! my favorite :)

[Streentodios]

It one of the best bands ever, the idea of combining so many great artist make them UNIQUE!

[SylvirWulf]

I'd have thought putting so many amazing artists in one place would overload the universe or something. Avantasia you are seriously brilliant all of you.

[TriggerHappy971]

i luv his voice when talking.........he has an amazing singing voice AND an amazing talking voice

[catatones]

yeeah! the mettal opera!! de lo mejor.. rekomendable;D

[metalforlife989]

this interview it'self shows why tobias is god

[Leetbix1]

LOVE IT ;D

[saintkirk51]

i love this album

[Nickarrrrr]

xD Bis er die Aufnahmen in so perfektem Englisch gesprochen hat, waren wohl einige nötig^^ Kommt zumindest so rüber... Keine Zweifel daran, dass er wirklich begabt ist... muskalisch sowie sprachlich. 5*

[sibirc7]

Ooo my GOD....Tobias RULZZ..:D:D:D

HE is The best....Avantasia and Edguy.:D The best :D:D:D:D

[elabry]

Great Bands!! Avantasia & Edguy rules!!

[sadzior]

In which songs does Alice Cooper sing?

[Taylor255]

I think just Toy Master.

[starin6]

in The Toy Master

[codynstuff]

just The Toy Master.

[JapahTheFox]

Mto fodaaaa

[Taylor255]

What's the first song that's being played?

[SKguitarist86]

"The Scarecrow"

[tattare]

this is fuckin amazing, tobias voice, eric beating the hell out of the skins and kai hansen henjo richter and michael kiske rocking it away, what a fucking dreamteam of ROCK! and to top it, they bring the fucking ultragod och heavy metall ALICE COOPER to sing here and there...amazing...

[ilmionomenonloso]

It took me a while to appreciate this cd, of course it's quite different from the first two chapter and maybe this is the reason..but this is a great album

[Doodooma]

this has to get some award...i dont friggen know which :P BUT this is an album which has potential of turning into a classic, just gotta get the right publicity.

nuff said, this album blew me away from start to finish

[srutsam]

Every song on this album is brilliant! :) Tobias Sammet is genius for having brought about Avantasia. Jorn Lande, Michael Kiske, Roy Khan, Alice Cooper... all on a single album is heaven on earth! And Sascha Paeth's participation definitely leaves you wanting for more !'

LOVE IT !!

[akab17]

Am I the only one that believes the US music industry needs to wake up and realize that there are some great bands out there? LOL, I'm sure i'm not. I herd the whole intire Scarecrow album from start to finish and it's what music is all about. The song the Scarecrow, WOW.

[Sabaton999]

Greatest .music. ever. Tobi rocks! =D

[AlgiaTattoo]

Khan is amazing, but the participation of Sascha Paeth is what make this album amazing, he's just un unbelievable producer and musician..

[jilbos]

Roy Khan is a fantastic singer and I really like The Scarcrow by Avantasia...just a question; on which song(s) does Khan participate?

[Hikash]

Kahn participates in the first song on the album, Twisted Mind.

[ThePaladinGirl]

Well said, Tobias!

... But I have to admit that "The Scarecrow" is my first album from them. But the passion is unbelievable in all of Avantasia's songs. Great job!

[GothicDaniela]

Just great! I love The Scarecrow.... IMO it´s the best Avantasia album <3

[hellusbattus]

why cant there be more metal bands like this, either you have a great singer and nothing else or you have screaming and great musicianship

[Perenthea]

Dude, I just listened to this album front to back and the music is fantastic. The story's great, I'm sure it'll be epic once I really try to analyze it.

[milution]

i just fuckin love'em

[caiexrox]

nem é foda esse album, meu deus

[RxMinus]

i only like:

Devil in the Belfry

Another Angel Down

The Scarecrow

Shelter from the Rain

fromt his album...i dont like any of the other soft songs.

[Stillbornone]

I agree. The Metal Operas are 10 times better IMO.

[Flaser666]

I like them too..

[juninhogaldino]

tobias virou emo afffffff

[luis1156k]

Me gusta

[EverestForeverRest]

Avantasia is the best music there is, labeling isn't nessesary!

I recorded a bit of the titletrack and Shelter From the Rain:

watch?v=fL1cYJDhUM0

watch?v=8QDq4iy85-o

See if you like them!

[merulzlot]

i like edguy better

[gudrun134]

The Scarecrow and Devil in the belfry are tere best songs :)

[beasrchild357]

ROCK and ROLL!!!!!

[bjerre93]

''Lost in space'' and ''Cary me over'' is shit.

IMO.

[djeikop]

I agree. they're just too poppy and lame. But the other songs, like The Scarecrow, are really cool!

[enxopk23x]

tobias is my hero

[Sronpop]

I really liked this album, wasn't like 'OMG BST ALBM EVR!!!' kind of thing but it was really good and it still gets rounds on my cd player(yes cd player)

[vebrand69]

This is pretty descent, but why oh why is that piece of crap "Lost In Space" on there. That CD sucked and we don't need to be reminded of it.

[Kuzine0815]

Gruß an Schecky, deine Musikauswahl ist wirklich breit gefächert. lol

[Missminipli]

Long live Schecky!!

[amnisia0]

urmm...i know this is gonna sound a bit stupid, my being an avantasia fan and all...but at 1:46 what is that song called?

i love it!!

[amnisia0]

never mind, i feel like a bit of a tard now i found it....so obvious

this is a great interview, tobi really is a true musical genius,

Edguy + Avantasia forever! \m/

[PapilioN91]

"Devil in the Belfry" ;) from the Scarecrow album.

[vooooom]

Yeah I knew he was pretty smart when I learned that Edguy was one of the only German power metal bands with good lyrics.

[Chinesenboy]

非常棒的歌曲，超喜欢Avantasia

[Nitiika]

i cannot believe!!!!!!!!!! he changes his look so much :O tobias

[Ijaszgyerek]

Smart guy?!! Toby is the King! :D

And the Scarecrow is the best!

[scamboogeryjohn]

watching this interview, it hit me... sammet is a really smart guy

[maririth]

yeah!!!

:D

me encanta esta canción, dice muchas cosas ^^

[tank8998]

is that the singer from Edguy or no

[Waraigoto]

It is.

[tank8998]

fuckin rights man fuckin he has a wicked voice i wanna see them live now

[Waraigoto]

I'm going to see Edguy live in february here in Sweden !! :D

[Nitiika]

wut, jag antar att biljetterna är slut? ;~;

[mike9xx91]

tobias best!

[lightningvsthunder]

TOBIAS SAMMET, HAS THE SEXIEST VOICE.

EVER!!

i love him <3

[doobs102]

LOL how awkward would it be to have kai hansen and micheal kiske in the same studio i am sure they didnt but it would be soo wierd.

[nudle4]

I'm quite sure they don't have any problems with eachother as Kiske even have made guestappearences on Gamma Ray's albums.

[doobs102]

oh really? i would have thought otherwise. I shoulda asked Henjo when i met him...

[piluttapajo]

Why wierd with Kai hansen & Micheal kiske in the same studio?

[doobs102]

Because I am sure they dont like each other.

[piluttapajo]

Kiske and Hansen are friends.

[doobs102]

Really? I would assume otherwise but i guess i was wrong.

[TranscendentMoon]

tobias...my favourite voice, ever!!!

what a great band avantasia is!

sometimes his voice reminds me of bruce dickinson, whose voice i love soooo damn much, but tobias is more dinamic, i guess.

god, i love him! xD

[EarthlyAlchemy]

The Scarecrow is one of the best songs ever. The first time I heard it I almost exploded. True Story.

I thought... why the hell haven't I heard this song before? (cause it sounds so like my childhood metal) But alas; it is what it is. And I love it.

[Christyavo]

love u tobias!!!!

[elchanfle100]

From Chiapas, México....

Goog Music, Good Rock, Good Metal....

[xymoxmedusa]

@elchanfle100 mexico here brother

[shizelpops]

This band is the best. I loved there lightshow when my parents took me to the sweden rockshow.

[poweremblematico]

anyone know the song that sings Michael Kiske in this video?

please say so if someone knows

thanks

bye

PoWeR AxxxeL

[Syrrann]

Devil in the Belfry!! :D That´s mothafucking love!

[Fragtony93]

Devil in the belfry was aweome dude. Especially the guitar, very well made album, you should check out both of the metal opera albums and both the lost in space albums also by Avantasia.

[Syrrann]

I listened to the metal opera albums three years ago xD Avantasia was my favouriteband then.

[001312]

i went to his concert..!!! was greatt..!! toabias sammet for eveer.!1

[SHIFTYgeorge]

i havent heard this album yet... think i might just go buy it ......now.

[ghotica92]

avantasia rox...is not pop..why do you say that?God...imnot a fan of pop rock,,but i know that is a genre..thats what i heard..well doesnt matter..i dont like it

[watchbeforeyoudie]

i don't know if you have ever listened to the metal opera I and II, they are quite better, i love this song anyway though, but i certainly doesn't fit avantasia at all.

[ghotica92]

no i havent...i barely know avantasia but i really like them...is really good music
