Avantasia - "Sign of the Cross"

[l2rhapsody]

que temazo, encima con todos esos espectaculares vocalistas de lo mejor de los mejores, que grande Avantasia

[lifehouse75]

this band is great

 power metal is the only thing worth listen to sents kurt cobin screwed hair metal and metal

[freemanstrip]

@lifehouse75 There just cant be a truer statement that.

[MILJEVICMARKO]

It gets boring after 6:31

[mikomecha]

@MILJEVICMARKO al nisu im sve tako dobre. :)

[thiereslost]

the sign of the cros the name of the rose... ops

[Horomaru]

Holy shit, nostalgia hit me hard.

[SuperAvantasian93]

EPIC MASTERPIECE OF SONG !!!!! AVANTASIA ON MY FUNEREAL AND FOREVER IN TIME WITH ME !!!!!!!! \m/ !!!!!!!!!

[thanhle2112]

i'm the 700th like! <3

[qwuezalothus]

This could've made The Crow an even better movie.

[TheAgentwd40]

I think its very good song

[RaumDeutschland]

has anybody ever noticed that avantasia's songs sound almost exactly like they're half iron maiden half dragonforce?

[itszack14]

@RaumDeutschland please for the love of god never use dragonforce and MAIDEN in the same sentance ever again it is a disgrace to all metal fans p

[TheSliceMedia]

@itszack14 I'm not too sure it is - Maiden certainly don't mind it as they had DragonForce as a support act for some of their shows in August.

[TVL919]

@RaumDeutschland Dragonforce is 1:3 mixture of dog vomit and woodchuck feces.

[Symphony516]

@RaumDeutschland Not really DragonForce but they are very much like Iron Maiden

[lifehouse75]

@Symphony516

better than both dragonforce and iron maiden

[Symphony516]

@lifehouse75 Hmmm hard call aye. I'll get back to ya on that one XD

[ivo6267]

@RaumDeutschland how could be power + classic opera ?

[marpas123c]

Vote 667...the neighbor of the beast!

[qwuezalothus]

voted as 666. for this. Nero Caesar had this number in the Bible too.

[qwuezalothus]

awesome on max

[poukaslolify]

0:35 - 1:12 = Oliver Hartmann = wonderful

[ewqtfer]

Muitooooooooooo fodaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[azofeifa]

Good job man!

[Zimon00Productionz]

Awesome song,awesome music,awesome band,pure awesomeness!!

[Rtype1000]

Avantasia is ... best of Metal members ever combined in one big fucking ELITE group!!

LP

[PaulistaDoeste]

The master voice team ever!

[ParticleBeautiful]

I'm ready to fight the battle!

[tyago04]

To my heavy metal taste, this song is like what a music done by Queen Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd and Legião Urbana would be for my rock taste *.*

[souzamaximu]

@tyago04 what is Legião Urbana?

[tyago04]

@souzamaximu awesome brasilian rock band from the 80's

[MrKyofu]

@souzamaximu one of the very few brazilian bands than knows what is really Rock/metal

[SamtheI]

Andre Mattos Master, love that music!

[leonardobeda]

Voice = the ronnie james dio = perfect Voice ^^ \m/

[kalyCTR]

4:22 amazing solo!!!!!!!!!!!



[Holyaxe]

Awesome song. I haven't heard this in years.

[DAMXT73]

Awesome Metal Opera  \m/

[THANATOS988]

=D



[goodygoody23]

I swear I thought I accidentally clicked on a Blind Guardian link at first

[JubsSartorelli]

A melhor música e a melhor banda *------*

[VoiceOfTranquillity]

amazing solo

[CR0M3T4LZ0N3]

@VoiceOfTranquillity Henjo Richter from Gamma ray plays solos on Metal opera

[TheGoldenPS1]

@CR0M3T4LZ0N3 Jens Ludwig adds additional lead guitars on this track and on The Tower but Henjo Richter plays all the solos. He is an amazing guitar player and he does everything right on Somewhere out in space and Powerplant.

[CR0M3T4LZ0N3]

@TheGoldenPS1 Yep, you should check live in Montreal if you didn't. Amazing performance and soloing. Also adding fills and harmonies that aren't on studio versions.

[MrMatt29999]

this aint maiden

[pedrosv]

Rob Rock? Geez... I thought it was Meatloaf...

[M5000thesdgversion]

Reminds me of Sabaton's style... o.O

[JoeCanti]

3:42 - 4:21 Kai Hansen EPIC!!!

[zacre]

@JoeCanti Is the best shit ever...in live the change it...cause they dont how to do it...lame bastards

[WifeBeatercockstain]

how awesome is oliver hartmann, smashes everyone else on this song to be fair, he should sing more on the next album when they do it, he has such a powerfull voice.

[JaquisonLuis]

Thank You! :P

[yoshuita1]

poca mad.....!!!!!!!! por lo de iron meiden .......pero avantasia esta chido

[Pellefather]

Oliver Hartmann above all

[jupenau123]

The bar representing amount of likes and dislikes also represents the size of persons genital. And as you can see - dislike part is much shorter than one for likes.

[dihsjp]

i didnt like this "Rob Rock" voice :S

[paul44miles]

Avantasia are amazing. This is Essential listening right here

[denistsubasa]

Have you watched "Sign Of The Gloss" from Avangaysia?

[SventheCrusader]

@denistsubasa No, but I've seen one incredibly dull toad of a troll.

[cocamaster0]

Andre matos S2

[Goldyoshi900]

Avantasia es grande pero es maiden es mejor

[Jonoichi]

ANDRE MATOS NA VEIA

[pachor2]

peuastssy what a lame name... oh wait a second hahahaha awesome!

[uniquesolo96]

Er dette norskt ?

Is this Norwegian ?

[YngtchieMusic]

@uniquesolo96 Nei, ingen av vokalistene eller noen andre deltakere er fra Norge. Prosjektet ble startet av tyske Tobias Sammet, og består av mange forskjellige store stemmer i power metal-miljøet.

[aptomper]

@YngtchieMusic

Now on the later albums by Avantasia, Jorn Lande is singing. He´s norwegian...

[CoreyZ91681]

Oliver and Kai turn a great song into one of the best power metal sings since the Keeper days. It doesn't get better than this.

[ElegyForTheMasses]

Hartman reminds me of RJD. Great stuff!

[Anhells06]

soy de argentina y gracias al amor de mi novoa los voy ir a poder ver el 15 de diciembre de 2010 en bas as argentina 

[zerafix666]

andre mattos is the shit :D

and tobias, of course, is the pure awesomenes.

[666stet]

what the fukk is this, thought this a song by iron maiden, this song is fukked

[Brezhna]

@666stet Should have had a clue from the fact it says "Avantasia", to be honest,

[666stet]

@Brezhna.........seriously, thought would be a cover :|

[Blitzbot]

Hartmann and Tobias own!

[Davix120]

Hansen = god.

[SlaveToTheDark]

AVANTASIA PArt I and II : METAL MASTERPIECES!!!!

[ErmacWrath]

[Ellemphriem]

History Never again repeated.....i bow......

[MrTommyrio]

its from IRON MAIDEN

[jagjagjag009]

@MrTommyrio what have Iron Maiden got to do with this song? Nothing except they have a song with the same name and different lyric.....did you thought Maiden made the expresion "sign of the cross"?

[MrTommyrio]

@jagjagjag009 sorry,yes i thought it.

[rageone3192]

@MrTommyrio You are wrong .-.

[Danderas]

Tobias Sammet + Andre Matos+Kai Hansen+ Oliver Hartman+ Michael Kiske +Timo Tolkki = THE GREATES POWER METAL PROJECT EVER ... PERIOD!!!

[AlxMiNeR]

Hail tobias .. futur god of power metal

[BornToLose66]

[pitn24]

weirdo

[pcthe001]

More perfect song

[SupaMikael1]

Nice

[XaliitoX]

la raja .. mi tema favorito !!! (Y)

[DanishMetalhead]

why does this song only have 4,5 stars!

[AlxMiNeR]

now 5 LOL thats what it is

[LieorDie24]

thats right nearly in every metallband the singers sound similar lol

[jimbo2surf]

you need new ears!!! or a sense of tone and pitch etc, each is distinctive, although i agree this sounds like a mix of luca turilli, hammerfall and a couple of other nords

[rafaelachan]

Oh my god, it's really awesome to see Andre Matos, the New Shaman and the New Angra doing this lot of special participations and concerts around the world! It's the brazilian proud coming through... They're the Brazilian proud... I think Brazil is one of the greatest vountries in the metal field!

[taxo]

who's the one singing 2.20-2.35 ò__ò

[pEuAsTsSy]

It's Rob Rock. (Fires of Babylon, Driver, Impellitteri)

[taxo]

Are u sure ò-ò? it didn t sound me like it was him! XD that s why i asked,anyway thankssss

[Jarolive]

it's a lie, it's André Matos singin' in that time he was on Shaman

[pEuAsTsSy]

According to the liner notes of the album, it's Rob Rock. I've updated the description to include the vocal lineup for the song, again, according to the liner notes.

[CR0M3T4LZ0N3]

@pEuAsTsSy It is Rob Rock, Andre Matos sings from 1:13 to 1:30

[TheGoldenPS1]

@CR0M3T4LZ0N3 Olver Hartmann from At Vance sings from 0:35

[garotyner]

@Jarolive who is singing from 2:20 and 2:35 is not Andre Mattos, he is singing 1:13 to 1:30.

[Damaellak]

@Jarolive 2:20 its rob rock,not Andre Matos

[ElGuardianDeLaFe]

@Damaellak That is the case indeed, it IS Rob Rock

[masnan12]

I can't even recognize the singers they all have similar voice...

[darmany]

Someone know who is the signer at 1:14? To me it really sound like Chris Bay from freedom call, but there is no mention of him on the avantasia website, I'm probably wrong.

[pEuAsTsSy]

It's André Matos, formerly of Angra and Shaman (Brazil)

[rafaelachan]

Who's actually a really really great singer and all bands that he has participated became a great one even without him...

[FALEXANDER13]

Que chimba esta canción!!!!!!!! Es la mejor de Avantasia!!! The best of Avantasia!!!

[Vegoslav]

Joo good,skoda ze Avantasia uz neni Metal Opera,teoreticky by se dalo roct ze tet uz neni Avantasia pravou Avantasiou x( ale verim ze tobias zas z nasi Avantasie zas Metal operu protoze tet neni ani power Metal

[19theiceman12]

yeeeeee matos

[Thomasgulb]

And your rigt. Micael Kiske sings in Avatasia-SupaRed-Place Vendome- Edguy and more. Helloween-Hammerfall.

The best----Helloween----

[Sinbad2468]

Avantasia and Edguy are the same lead singer :)

[Normanisto]

It realy sounds in few parts like Sabaton`s Rise of Evil :D

Avantasia, Sabaton, Edguy, Sammet, Kiske, Hansen...

They all are fantastic and they RULE!!!

[vallade1]

Chupalo weón poser jajajajajajajaja

[dimumonio]

muito foda^^ nunca deixo de ouvir^^

[shinobikurisu]

tem toda a razão. Animal!

[Czarodziejka6655]

lovely song:)

[cronos2003]

me encanta Avantasia !!!

[mibsteve]

in my opinion the beginning reminds me of some sabaton songs...

[pacosio]

yes you´re right, but that sabaton song are from 2004 and 2006, avantasia was first, but anyway both bands are great, in other way the beginning of this one, reminds me eye of the tiger hahaha survivor´s one, cheers from mexico

[Baumwolljacke]

only that sabaton had been a tiny demo band to the time the song was written in

[KnightsLantern]

Awesome song ^_^

[man8r]

esta cancion es muy bacana la recomiendo al mximo

[Seiyanashi]

All this Iron Maiden fanboyism is boring. This song kicks the f*** out of anything I've heard Maiden do.

[lordhelmit3]

then you are very musically sheltered if that's the case.

[Seiyanashi]

Not really. I just never really got into anything Iron Maiden did. If that means I'm musically retarded, then fine, whatever.

[NightmaresByTheSea]

You sir, are a fucking idiot.

[Seiyanashi]

Am I now?

Forgive me for having an opinion, you judgmental asshole.
