  • Michi Kiske is the best!! amazing song

  • compared with the 7 sinners.....??

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song.

  • Chameleon failed commercially ,but not creatively

  • This album is a lot more interesting than the first three albums. I like straight forward Power Metal, but sometimes it's just a bit too bland, and shallow.

  • Chameleon, the album that killed helloweem

  • Ride the sky, I want out....and then this piece of shit. Wheikath is a fucking genious, nice job letting the pussy kiske shitting on helloween!!

  • @mrkai0905 wow just kiske changed the sound? no

    weikath wanted to change the style too (just saying)

    , and to be honest, from this album, i preffer this "crap" than SHITMILL from weikath

  • @sonnic1995 from this album, i do not preffer anything, it is the gayest thing helloween ever did, i don´t care if it they both wanted to change the sound, all i care is they didn´t know what to do without hansen, that´s all.

  • @mrkai0905 well i agree with that "they didnt know what to do without hansen"

  • Hey Michi ! Put that stupid bullhorn down! It makes you look foolish!

  • Comment removed

  • Michi lose the bull horn. you don't need it!

  • Definitivamente el POP aleman es el mejor!!! Helloween los mejores en cualquier genero musical!

  • To me, (with Kiske) this and Pink Bubbles Go Ape are PERFECTS! =)

  • chameleon album ftw

  • funny ^^

  • HELLOWEEN LOST SO MUCH WHEN THEY LET KISKE GO. NICE WORK THERE WEIKATH, YOU FIRED A LEGEND AND HIRED A RUNNER-UP

  • @DMC12man don;'t blame weiki for the bull shit that they went through

    out side influences did it to them.....I'm sure that the brass section wasn't Michi 's idea

  • happy happy HELLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Michael Kiske and his amazing voice !!! perfect !!!!

    Hellowen was , is and always will be the best !!!

  • @sarahchance72 After a long lay off,Michi's voice isn;t that great...he's said it himself

    I love both line ups...

  • aunque este disco es realmente diferente no cabe duda que helloween tiene calidad y talento para hacer rolas tan distintas a el speed metal que tocan que bueno que helloween hiso este disco porque asi prueba que es muy versatil y toca lo que sea claro todo en el buen metal..si claro sea hansen,kiskeo deris es helloween no se les olvide...calidad..si señor...go¡ aca-2011..a.n.d..¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • THIS SONG IS AMAZING! FUCK WHO DON'T LIKE!

  • hum this album not so good but Giants is a good track though

  • this is an intent of helloween to be faith no more...i don't care

    helloween is helloween

    AND THIS SONG RULES

  • @michikuTV Sounds like Faith No More with a mix of INXS

  • Hail!!! Epic Song!!! \m/

  • kiske Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WATCH THE VIDEO: WITHOUT FEAR - THE JOURNEY BEGINS

    THANKS!

  • @ioan4o94

    Just be aware that only two of the people in this video are still in the band.

  • @daviddek27 Yeaaa...I heard their discography and i like it! Their music is very cool! :)

  • @ioan4o94

    That's great.

    They are really good!

    I have all the vinyl were kiske is on.

    I wish you a great show!

  • I don't know for this group... Yesterday i read news that they come to Bulgaria, and i search for themq to find what they sing... I like it! They are very good group :)

  • personnaly for me Kiske will always rock... whatever he sings power metal, hard rock or AOR... Seen him 3 times with Avantasia since beginning of the month, and this guy is definitely THE voice of heavy metal. Best one alive for me (only one can compete with was Ronnie... but in the living ones... he's the best... anyone who saw Avantasia will probably know what I mean... when he hits the high notes on songs like Reach Out For The Light, or The Tower... damnit... he's great :) definitly :D

  • @Dokkenholic the voice of heavy metal? have you heard geoff tate, michael Oliveri, the late great  danny joe brown ( the clearest voice in metal), Buck D'harma etc?

    All of these vocalists have/had incredible voices.....you can't say thatonly one frontman/soloist has that quality !

  • the most legendary voice of power metal....and he doesnt sing power metal anymore :(

  • @sonnic1995 you must check out your metal-news nowadays dude! Kiske is back with Kain Hansen in a new band! Unisonic!

  • @AresKiske i know dude, first show with kai hansen: october 15 in japan

    and kiske sings with gamma ray, next show....i dont remember..but its in masters of rock

  • @sonnic1995 oh yeah! :) We must enjoy these moments!

  • @AresKiske kai said that maybe the will play songs like i want out!

  • kiske now sings in Place Vendome why dont he and andi do a song together

  • @antonykata99 no...kiske now sings in unisonic.....

  • rock

  • wow this isn't the helloween i'm used to.

  • It seems rock of the '80s.

  • I don't know why you're complaining guys, this is better than the new pop songs of this millennium & Helloween is awesome with Kiske, Kai & Deris & Metal 4 ever \m/

  • HELLO SOMEBODY THERE? THEY WHERE 5 ppl how you can blame only 1 for this album? even when its this good :D

  • @Leit0

    Yep, and Grapow/Weikath wrote as much or more as Kiske did on this album, so if they wanted another musical direction for the band, why didn't they write songs like that?

  • that cowgirl is hot

  • that cowboy girl is so fkng hot

  • I love chameleon i dont know why peeps hate it

  • "oh man Im about to puke!!!!!!

    I still don´t know how people like a singer like Kiske

    He is just a pop singer, never liked metal at all

    Shame on you guys"

    He've never said he didn"t like metal. He said he didn" like narrow-minded critics and music industry which order bands to do the same in every album. Kiske wanted to wide the horizons of Helloween. Chameleon is a very creative album with many stlyes added. Because of thet it is very exciting album.

  • sound like michael jackson

  • Agree

  • Woooow, great & powerfull theme.

  • This song is good, but to think THIS replaced one of the best Helloween songs ever written as the single, that being Giants. People would have a much better perspective on Chameleon if Giants was the first dose of it they got.

  • I completely agree with your statement.

  • Es ist traurig, dass manche "Fans" nur Keeperween sehen. Die beiden 90er Scheiben mit Kiske sind Meisterwerke. Ich liebe Songs wie "Giants", "Heavy Metal Hamsters" oder "Longing". Auch die Frühen mit Deris sind genial und eigentlich findet sich auf jeden Album eine große Anzahl von Songs, die ich mir sehr gut anhören kann. zusätzlich ist die Unarmed richtig cool, weil es mal was vollkommen anderes ist. Künstlerische Entfaltung ist etwas sehr Wichtiges, wie ich finde.

  • Comment removed

  • at least this is better than the actual Helloween...

  • I keep reading about "experiment" and "risk". Well I say this is a pure sell-out! Hansen was very clever after all!

  • @evermetal2 No doubt he HAS ALWAYS BEEN!... Cheers

  • @evermetal2 How do you spell Unarmed...

  • @theprophecy11 U-N-A-R-M-E-D

  • @evermetal2 good now go listen to it and tell me if it has anything remotely decent and original to it, then you can bitch about whatever you want.

  • @theprophecy11 Wow, take it easy dude. Who said that Unarmed is good? They both SUCK! I just can't tell which one sucks the most! They both have no place in Helloween's discography!

  • very good song!!!!

    not so heavy

    but, good song

    i love HELLOWEEN!!!

  • Much as I love these chaps , I must admit this album is a piece of shit!

  • @tammysyl

    I think this is one of my favorite Helloween albums. It just shows how good they were as songwriters. The tunes were catchy yet progressive with excellent playing. I mean "Music" is such a mighty tune along with the perhaps even mightier "I Believe" this album rocks! It gets a bad hype but people are coming around to realizing what a good record it is. What don't you like about it?

  • @twainname Well, It´´s fine you like it... But for those fans, like me, who love their Power/heavy metal stuff this album is not to our liking, you know it has very little to do with the music we love and they are considered the inventors of... It´s just that, a matter of taste . And of course.... they are great songwriters... needlesss to say. Cheers

  • @tammysyl Wrong! This album is MASTERPIECE. They did a pretty good work at it. "Stop being blind" and face the truth: Helloween is way more than a regular noise making headbanging band. They are artists and wonderful musicians/songwriters and they show it in many ways. I speak not only about the original lineup, but also about the other guys joined the band afterward.

  • it's pop ... but it's good !!!

  • @rbalster you are right about one thing my friend, but I will let you to find out.

  • I LOVE TIHS SONG!!!

    HELLOWEEN IS THE LAW!!!!!!

    WITH KISKE HANSEN OR DERIS!!! IS THE BEST!!

    

  • @kristian395 : I agree, I like all the heloween singers too, each in it's own way.

    Though I like Kiske's earlier stuff... Chameleon was a kind of album that doesn't remind me of Helloween at all.

  • @kristian395 kiske forever great song.

  • kiske forever great song....

  • @kristian395 al fin alguien que sabe de musica!!!!

  • i like this music

  • I don´t  dislike this Helloween time, in fact they must to play different styles of rock for leave the monotony...

  • this is just fucking terrible.

  • great great song!ahead of its time!i must say.

  • i started listening to helloween after 2000 so i didnt hate this album because it was different from what i expected. i didnt know what "normal" helloween was, so every cd i found was something different. I just didnt like this one because it plain fucking sucks...

  • yea well....listen to walls of jericho....THATS REAL HELLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!

  • @behemothpl666 That's right, the real helloween is Jericho and especially Keepers, with both Hansen and Kiske. But Chameleon is the real music, totally different to their other albums. And that's really increases it's value, especially through the years. Musical tastes are changing then you became older, and sooner or not you'll probably will be tired listening just speed power metal, but music like this. And, have a close look to the Master of The Rings - it's pretty musical rather just power.

  • Helloween es una de las mejores bandas Alemanas Su condicion los hace merecerce ese puesto puesto que son los mejores

  • if there were three songs i like in chameleon, they are

    1) giants

    2)longing

    3)windmill

  • replace windmill with i believe

  • what is the good with that album? helloween- kiske wanted to experimend, as they do nowdays. But what the hell they play new songs, THEY DON'T DESTROY MASTERPIECES. And if you are lisen the album you will see that this is AOR at 1993 MR PERFECT WEIKI! BELIEVE MUSIC REVOLUTION AND MANY MANY MORE songs from that album is much better than the crap you are playing with the smoker.

    The joke will be if unisonic make success, because derris couldn't make pink cream a great band!

  • Helloween, ihr rockt!

    Ihr seid Wahnsinn!

    Macht weiter so!

    Hackisan. de

  • omg fucking pop, that was the worst period of my favorite band

  • i thimk because was a really sudden change in the style of helloween at that particular time, and many fans did not understand.

    But for my is a really good album

  • si, es muy diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados a oir de la banda hasta ese momento, pero se atrevieron a usar elementos que no son caracteristicos del metal, innovaron y me parece que les quedo bien...

  • @vivianaandreagtm ¿Solo bien?

    Para mi este es el disco mas original que ha sacado Helloween, la variedad musical es... increible, podemos escuchar baladas, temas acusticos, organos por montones, coros, solos de guitarra increible, estribillos tipicos de helloween...

    Como he dicho muchas veces, es una verdadera lastima que la gente quiera escuchar lo mismo y lo mismo una y otra vez sin experimentar ni escuchar nada nuevo..

    Por que al final, La buena musica no es solamente el Heavy Metal...

  • la cancion no es que sea mala, pero si a uno le gusta el power metal y su grupo es helloween y de repente sacan un disco asi, es logico que cause rechazo en muchos. de todas formas los keepers dejaron el listón demasiado alto porque son obras maestras.

  • aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! no es muy bna!

  • I know this is diferent, this is the first time i hear this song and i think is pretty good, i though this was gonna be too much different but this is rock man, what's the problem?

  • MIB

  • perfeitaaaaaaaaaaaa a music *---*

  • Heloween is better now with more weight, the music man

  • They shit all your gay

  • I really love Kiske era (even when Hansen singin' times were great), i love heavy-power metal of helloween... this song sounds more like 'some kind of pop' but... I love this song... just beautiful...

  • lets face it, the great about that album is that the kiske wanted to play something defrend, without fulling the old helloween great songs. deris will never make that because his voice is for only, and that is not for sure, for power metal.

  • i listened their music all day and night long. i had the same hairs, same clothes. (i wish i had never worn such trousers!). about chameleon. me was pretty much confused and yes somewhat disappointed about its style. but now, after all the years, i still listen this album.

  • Im not saying that this song isnt good but they will never play somthing like this with kai...

  • Comment removed

  • incredible from Helloween, since Walls of Jericho (1985) the Best, Now When the sinner wooooooooow

    really really really good

    me Encanta esta cancion

  • bad

  • When I first listended to this album some years ago, I didn't get it. But the more I listened to it, the album grew on me. Now its one of my favorite albums to listen to. In my opinion, its great! Have a Happy Helloween.

  • lets answer this simple question... is that the best non pure metal album that any metal band has ever made?

    why a guy with the voice of kiske sould always have to sings metal and nothing else?

    i hear him at the new gamma ray album and my god, the metal needs him bandly

  • Does Michael Kiske sing in the new Gamma Ray album "To the metal"???? if so I´m gonna get it as soon as I can. The Chameleon album might not be metal but it was a good experiment, I still listen to it every now and then

  • @xanthidis

    Wow. That's something to think about. It sucks that when you are labeled something, you are expected to die with the same title. People that can't take a break from the norm never grow. They stay stagnant and boring. Yes, style is developed through some repetition. But it also able to advanced through risk and experimentation. Chameleon is the perfect example of that. If they wouldnt have put this album out, they would have the albums that followed. Something to think about...

  • @xanthidis best non pure metal album...yes it is, if you hear this album thinking in the keepers you will say it sucks, but if you hear it just like another album, it its great in its style

    kiske says that he still loving maiden and priest songs, but at the same time he likes other kinds of music...

    metal need him? yes, that for sure, but now he and kai hansen are toghether in unisonic! and he plays future world with gamma ray!

  • cool

  • there's is always lots of coments about than... some good some bad..

    but does it makes any difference? everything is said by itself... Good song are good song and it doesn't matter if its heavy metal or not.. if kiske denied metal or whatever... this is still the man!

  • is very, very good, Helloween is good...

  • This is one of those bands that you only have to listen to, not to watch their videos xD

  • Uma das melhores músicas do Helloween.

    One of the best songs from Helloween.

  • ombre io kreo ke el wen kantante es el ke kanta bn kon todo tipo d musica no el ke se dedika solamente a una i helloween lo a klavao XD

  • qué pollas , pues el chameleon está muy bien. no todo en la vida es metal y baterías a toda ostia. por hacer buena música que no sea metal no eres un infestado. he dicho

  • i ll thumb you all down if you re arguing while listening to this great song

  • well certainly this is not metal. but it is fucking awesome! Many artist who think are progressive and open minded would like to achieve chameleon's greatness...Helloween are genius and you can tell them between 1,000 clones. A band like that can only write too damn good songs.

    hansen-weikath-kiske-deris-gra­pow... many bands would be happy to have just one of them as a composer...

  • Note how marginalized Weiki is in this video... anyone with eyes could tell he is NOT happy with this. Meanwhile, Kiske flouts in the spotlight. Also, I can't believe this foulness got a 7-minute video when "Halloween" got that awful 5-minute cut.

  • @RedFox742 But he NEVER looks happy. XD If I wouldn`t know it better, I just would say he`s always looking mentally retarded. XD

  • @RedFox742 EMI is clearly more-willing to work with their artists than NOISE.

  • stop commenting an just listen to the song god dammit.. LOL

    great song by the way!

  • all helloween albums were different from one another an were all able to contribute something different, which shows the bands ability to diversify.. which is important as musicans...

    remember, although helloween is classed is "metal", the underlying factor is they are musicans, they therefore have the liberty to experiment.. chameleon in my opinion, was a success at this experimenting..

  • I agree it is a shame that bands get railroaded because they want to experiment outside the precepts of what the fans expect. I would like to come up with a fund that compensates for any loss of record sales when a band decides to do any experimental stuff.

    This album sounds like Helloween it may not sound like Keepers How could you replicate a masterpiece) but it sounds like Helloween.

  • the only thing that detracts from this song other than the trumpets is the "church music" sound of the first two lines in the chorus. so i say.

  • Rolan Grapow in harmony is better of the Malmesteen!!!

  • just because some Andi rape your mom and kill your father?'

  • And your boyfriend, sun of a bit, mather fuck

  • ahahahahahahaha better learn to write, retarded ;)

  • Hail to Brazil!

    Kiske is a one of a kind singer, melody, power, emotion - Deris is OK but sounds like a dozen other guys out there.

  • @DippShits You are absolutely right

  • Excelent!!!!!!!

  • Metal is a very conservative genre. And this isn't metal. Most of the songs on Chameleon aren't good in any genre. This however is a really original song. As is most of Kiskes solo stuff. He is and were a true artist, and that because of a very conservative genre's(in which he perhaps never fitted in) judgement on this, became the end of his spotlight for 17 years.

  • I don't think that metal i conservative. I listen to metal 20 years, and I'm not able to say where are borders of metal. And metal is also very mixture of all musical existing musical genres. Metal is absolutely no conservative.

    Btw. I like Chameleon, this is good album, but you don't have to expect speed metal.

  • this album sounds kinda... well it reminds me a little to the band Hot Leg

  • R.I.P Ingo

  • I love chameleon!

  • becouse chameleon isn't power metall. It's funny, but not a power.

  • Chameleon is metal, rock, jazz, blues, soul, etc

  • Yeah, it`s a Chameleon. Fits perfectly.

  • Comment removed

  • i don't understand, this is a nice song but why does this album not well received?

  • Because people aren't able to look past Helloween's glory years of power metal. If people would judge the music being produced fairly, they would come to the conclusion that this album is great, and Helloween's last great album was Dark Ride, and their last good album was Rabbit Don't Come Easy.

    Helloween has been dying since the firing of Grapow and Kusch.

  • @mayatmaot, though the music is good, this is not what their fans wanted... sometimes, doesn't matters how good an album can be, if it is not what the fans are asking for... the album will end up being rejected.

  • probably was a mikael kiske idea....is really close to his solo albums....thay tried to go ahead together....it's been a failure for old fans...and nothing new for the new ones...

    it sounds good to me anyway!

  • Does somebody know this girl's name? 0:05 She's damned beautiful ¿isn´t she?

    She appears in Kids of the Century too, but in that video she has an indian costume.

  • I'm pretty sure she was one of the band members wives at the time.

  • I don't know who she is but I would like to have carnival knowledge of her.

  • This sound like Def Leppard, not as good as DL though, anyway its weird hear helloween not playing their glorious power metal.

  • reminds me of Aerosmith..... not bad music but thats just not what I want to hear when I think about Helloween

  • im glad tht they made a full 7 min vid instead o cuttin down the song jus 4 th vid

  • Chameleon's musical diversity ranks second to Keeper II. There is also metal in this, it's just not fast, and that left people scratching their heads. It's really sad that some people expected nothing but fast songs.

    Sure some Helloween albums released after Chameleon have been some of the best power metal albums since Keeper II, but Helloween have yet to release an album that is musically superior to Chameleon!

  • Man you said it all, it makes me happy to see that there are people who recognize the genius in Chamelleon. Not only Helloween have yet to make another album like it, but so do many great bands.

  • This album suffered from the perception of being too multi-genre without a definite home. Metal people did not like it because it did not sound like Keepers (although a lot of the same stuff was underneath each Keeper album), it did not fit pigeon hold Progressive Rock and it was too long and complex to be Pop. Too many people loving the genre and not the music. I have never heard anything that Chameleon could be compared to genre wise (Keepers the same way at its core) its a unique masterpiece.

  • Holy sh**... i totally agree with you pal! It's beautiful to have found someone who thinks the same as me about this great album!!

  • I really like the part of this video when the band members are arguing with some guys of a label... a clear reference to the dispute they've had at the time with their own label (EMI if I remember well...). Great song and experimental album (even though it somehow lead Kiske to leaving metal ...)

  • I absoluely love this song. The album is pretty strange and far too long, but there's some masterpieces on it.

  • i think chameleon was a very great experiment

  • @menkothebest22

    Absolutely. I love this album.

  • this is great song, nice too is future world i want out and judas , yeah dr.stein is too great

  • It could be a failure in terms of band label and what fans expected, but musically it is spectalular, not many bands conceive an album like Chamelleon, especially in such troubled times as they were going through.

  • I like this album alot very Experimental and i thought it kept the metal to it.

  • It`s a cool song, but the true Helloween is Keeper of the seven keys, Master of the rings, Pink bubbles go ape etc. But I also love this album.

  • helloween + horns? strange. it works here, but if it went on to be a full-time thing idk if it would.
