Kamelot - Roy Khan

[liwainstitut]

38555 . i real can´t mess with you !!!!

[fikulusz]

where is it? I know norway but...

[andykrikkit]

@fikulusz He lives in Fetsund, maybe... 30-40 km east of Oslo. They are mainly talking about the then upcoming homecoming concert in may 2009 in Elverum 2 hours drive north-east of Oslo, where Khan originally comes from.

[lauraj666]

I wish I could understand what he's saying :( but nevermind he's got a smexy voice :3

[twistedbrushfx]

Let the lord guild you way Roy!

[kriik16]

I miss him a loooooot :( roy pleasee come back! we need you. I loveee you

Damn! this man is hot ;)

[TheLPCowgirl]

This is amazing! No idea what he's saying...but his voice is so sexy! :D

[TheMetalMeltdown]

whats the song they are playing at the beginning of the vid?!?!

[bluette57]

@TheMetalMeltdown

We don't know when the time has come

This is where I will linger on...

From "The Black Halo"

[TikalaEchidna16]

@TheMetalMeltdown They're playing "The Black Halo" from their The Black Halo album. :)

[spectervisions1]

Roy is actually from indian descent from india, i think, but he was born in Norway

[bluette57]

@spectervisions1

:) not exactly :) his father is from Thaïland :)

[dmondoll]

(sigh) I cant even understand him... and im still in Love. <3

[Gigatless]

its so awesome to see him as a simple man.

[BuruNoHana]

Roy... I love you to death

[Dervanon]

i thought roy was an american o.O

[MisterCaptainDamnit]

Lol its so strange not to see him in his "Kamelot gear"

[DARKANGEL261194]

I miss you Roy :(

[JohnHenryEden2012]

Roy Khan: Thanks for the great times.

[WarlordManrock]

viste ikke han var norsk. Holy christ!

[yzkillsw]

no way, he quit kamelot??? O_o

[ghigaful]

subs...plz...someone???:D



[pmanderson]

I wish I had his voice. It's pure sex. Too bad he quit Kamelot. I was going to see them, but without Roy, why bother? His unique voice was what made them stand out in the first place.

[bluette57]

@pmanderson

i feel sad for you because the gigs (even without Roy) were a pure kick-assin' session (i had the chance to see the band three times this year).

Of course I miss his voice, his way to "play" on stage, but if it's his choice, we have to respect it and wish him all the best. And we can also thank him for what he gave to us... Kamelot is a band, a strong and powerful band and i'm waiting for the upcoming album :)))

[DraconicMorphine]

@pmanderson he quit Kamelot????? why???

[bluette57]

@DraconicMorphine

Roy posted a statement on his myspace few weeks ago...

[DraconicMorphine]

@bluette57 alright ill take a look. thank you

[pdemann]

@pmanderson I will agree fully that initially Roy Kahn's voice was the first thing that drew me to Kamelot but they are still an amazing band with out him. check out some of the videos of their South American tour, Fabio Leone is doing a fantastic job filling in for Kahn. I"m stoked to see them live next month and to see who they find as a new permanent vocalist. I will miss Kahn's voice but my enthusiasm for Kamelot will not die.

[CelticCutie85]

@pmanderson I agree totally with you there, i was lucky enough to see Kamelot twice and i would not consider seeing them with another singer.

[zazucat]

Seriously... Even the clearing of his throat (at 1:04) sounds sexy.

[FoolishLittleGirl]

@zazucat It's so true O_O

[MrWinestyle]

You are the best! So unique and different and better than other! Ilisten classical music and you are better than other famous tenor!

[MeAmie94]

Je kjæm fra Gjøvik.

[MeAmie94]

Swear, I'm gonna stalk him and force him back to Kamelot. Nah, just kidding. I'll stalk him and say "YOU STILL ROCK, DUDE" Gash, I'm tired now.

[MeAmie94]

@TuomasEnkeli All the others are wrong, he lives in Fetsund. :)

[mpitonixxxangel]

In my journey through the stage of music I found my self with the band named Kamelot and their vocalist named Roy Khan. I'm totally a man but this couldn't stop me from hanging a poster of Roy inside my house. I owe him a lot cause I learned a lot not only from his vocal abilities but from his speechies too...music stage always change one said...at least God was there...

[beckyk08]

@mpitonixxxangel One question. Where the hell did you get a Roy Khan poster?! Cos i want one! =D

[mpitonixxxangel]

@beckyk08 exactly at hell! oh and becky i'm not gonna get it off even if you are the sexiest chick..Khan is better ;p just kidding :)

[beckyk08]

@mpitonixxxangel LOL! Yeahh xD Khan is always better ^_^

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@TuomasEnkeli Elverum

[Ryak1234]

It would be nice to have english subs. thanks

[drakonimetal]

@TuomasEnkeli Oslo.

[lucymalak90]

and now...

No more Khan in Kamelot :'(

Am I the only one who wants to cry????

[HUNimaginary]

@lucymalak90 No, you are not. :(

[Sotanorsu123]

@lucymalak90 your not the only 1 ...

[VaiTrooper]

Only few words I understood were Metallica and Iron Maiden

[MrWinestyle]

BEST VOCAL EVER!

[MelodiousArchangel]

God, I love that man. He's the real deal, both on stage and at home. Elverum ftw! :D

[katyaroush]

HE'S CHANGED LIKE....A LOT!!!!!!

[guerogueronsqui]

o my god its the vocalits i can belive

THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND OF POWER METAL

[junesue1205]

he looks so modest but he completely transforms when he its stage

[DarthPK]

@junesue1205 oh yeah!! \m/ he turn into a metal god !!!

[kleineamoebe]

I didn't know that in real life this metal god is some kind of a shy geek :D

[Shiek200]

he looks SOOOOO different!

[bluette57]

@Shiek200 : well in this interview he's Roy Saetre Khantatat, a man, simple and "normal" :)

[Shiek200]

@bluette57 I know, but still... He looks like... any other guy, it's so weird not to see him as a god-like singer for once....

[bluette57]

@Shiek200

I understand don't worry.... i had the chance to have (few) words with him after some gigs... on stage he's Khan but outside he is definitivly Roy Saetre Khantatat...

[helgoland82]

His voice makes me cry :' ] Dødsens bra å høra han snakka norsk !

[myroflcopterisnice]

Is it just me or does he share some features with Morten Harket?

[Shadowsoul81]

no subs? :(( it would be good to understand... 

[eddiestrooperfc]

Uvanlig å se Khan med briller og hele pakken :P 

[Neueregel]

Khan  = half Thai

[painted0nmyheart]

I didn't understand a single word they said...but listening to him speak in his native language was beautiful.....

[RainingUtopiaEchoes6]

@painted0nmyheart haha that is exactly how i felt

[bmzbg]

"Hjemme organiserer han regnskapet" - Det er så utrolig bra timing med det og papirene som ligger i hytt og pine på keyboardet hans, haha. Roy Khan er garantert mitt sang-idol, og Kamelot er uten tvil et av mine favoritt band. Jeg har vært på fem konserter med Kamelot så langt, og de har levd opp til forventningene hver gang! Lenge leve Kamelot!

Bjørn

[BlackHaloGoddess93]

Khan is fucking amazing!! He looks damn good, especially with those glasses. :) Sounds amazing speaking norwegian, as well.

[manoweird]

He lives about 5 minutes from my home. I often see him walking with his wife and kids.

[bluette57]

@manoweird.... don't answer to those fansgirls looool he need peaaaace :DDD

[csaoxcs]

@manoweird You lucky, lucky bastard!

[CaptainCrane]

Argh i hope someone captions this someday D:

[victhedickjerk]

wow fucken khan is fucken smart he could sing in english,french i think itailan and he talks in his own launges with is sweten

[lucymalak90]

crazy girls!!!!!! but you're right hahahahahahahahah!!!!

[AgentFour]

What language is he speaking? I thought he's American.

[bluette57]

@AgentFour

He from Norway... so in this interview he speaks in his native language :)

[JeoXus]

@AgentFour None of these cool awesome band could be americans... xD

[Shredderman186]

@AgentFour I was actually surprised when I found out that the band was American. I could tell that the vocals were European since most of the metal bands I listen to are European.

[Rabje1234]

@AgentFour

lol duh... he's in a legendary metalband, ofcourse he's from scandinavia xD

[CallingCrowe]

@Rabje1234: The rest of the band, with the exception of Oliver, are from Florida.

[Rabje1234]

@CallingCrowe

uuuuh.... yeah

i knew that!

[RemiIsTrashWolf]

I've never heard him actually speak with an accent. Haven't really been too fond of the accent anyways (yes I come from the same area as Roy), but he kinda makes it sound cool, heh.

[Dervanon]

good thing i dont understand a word.

[lorelai5000]

beautiful beautiful man :) and the best live voice i think ive ever heard <3

[LadySomnia]

I've never seen Khan with glasses before..... Cute! ^_____^

[CelestialTina]

Did he say his last name is from Thailand? I'd really like to know where's he's from cause he sure as hell ain't native Norwegian. Correct me if I'm wrong :P

[bluette57]

@CelestialTina

in fact it's his father last name : Khantatat, from thailand... they decided to "cut" the name because it was to difficult for the norwegian to pronounce it :)

[CelestialTina]

@bluette57 Ah, thanks for confirming :)

Swedish is very similar to Norwegian but this guy speaks in such a low voice, it's a challenge understaning him at times XD

[sazkog]

@CelestialTina his mom teaches french at the high school i attended

[CleoBlue13]

@CelestialTina Sorry, he is from Norway. But his father is from Thailand ;3

[bluette57]

@Kaplovsgab1

rhooo lol i don't know if we can say "thing" about this man... great performer, singer, yeah but "thing" looool

ps : seems that you're not the only one who love him :))

[mattieltr]

@bluette57 lol alright his voice is definitely unique and we can say sexy, but the man himself isn't that handsome :-p

[rockchicklora15]

@mattieltr the man himself is MSOT DEFINATELY handsome <3 he's a beautiful guy, inside and out :)

[Kaplovsgab1]

@bluette57 Hhahaha X) roy is the best

[xtaryx]

Can someone PLEASE ad some subtitles to this video??? :) It would be nice for the ones who didn't get anything!

[PixelizedSnowflake]

He has a lot of instruments :O

[xfernydrummerX]

had no idea that he was still living in norway.

[1malakian]

thats his house? wow its not what i had expected

[bluette57]

@1malakian : it's the house where he work ....

[PixelizedSnowflake]

I wanna hear him speak in English lawl, he sounds like his talking voice is so different.

[zhoutai2000]

de todos los videos donde el youtube traductor no me servia tenia que fallarme en este!!!

[knowledgequeen]

I am going to meet him in October at their last North American show, and I think at this point it's pretty well decided I'll make an idiot of myself in some way. This man is just amazing.

[knowledgequeen]

I emitted an extremely undignified squeak when I saw the glasses. I wish I spoke Norwegian, and I can't honestly decide where he's hotter, as a metal god or as a skinny geek in jeans and a hoodie!

[bluette57]

@knowledgequeen

rhooooo.... i had the great honot to speak with him after some gigs (not to long of course, i'm not that king of "fangiiiiiirl"). He's the cutest person I ever met, really... it's amazing how different he can be after a show... I think he should be sooner or later an actor...

[vivalamiababe]

@bluette57

I

ENVY

you

soooooo baddd.

I might see him at ProgPower USA in Atlanta GA.

he is soooo cuttee<3

i found it hard to believe he was 40.

[bluette57]

@vivalamiababe

Don't envy me :D have a lot of fun at ProgPower Usa and share ton of pics :))

[vivalamiababe]

@bluette57

My eyes are gonna be gluueeedddd to Khan on stage.

[bluette57]

@vivalamiababe

okay but you still have fingers to do pics lool

[vivalamiababe]

@vivalamiababe

My bf might have the camera.

Hes not into Kamelot.

but he knows my love for them.<3

[iloveasianfoskco]

@knowledgequeen I'm not going to lie, He's probably the funniest looking metal singer I've ever seen.

That's saying a lot.

On an unrelated note, he's probably the best metal singer I've ever heard.

:D

[TheNorweagian]

@iloveasianfoskco Roy Khan is a friend of mine :D

[iloveasianfoskco]

@TheNorweagian Haaa, then pass that along to him for me ;)

[TheNorweagian]

@iloveasianfoskco : ))))))))))))))))))

[gragi11]

Could someone make subtitles in english?

[crisinha258]

What's the music that shows in the middle 'til the end the video?

[bluette57]

@crisinha258 - Love You To Death...

[MeAmie94]

Love hearing him speak Norwegian! He even mentions Gjøvik, my hometown! Makes me SO proud... He is great, met him in Oslo some weeks ago : )

[gragi11]

@MeAmie94 Lol? Where exacly?

[MeAmie94]

@gragi11 Where I met him? I met him outside the venue after the show the 17. : )  We found the backstage entrance, all the guys came out to talk to us : )

[gragi11]

@MeAmie94 You fuckin' mothafucka!!! I'M SO JEALOUS!!! DIE!!! :-)

[MeAmie94]

@gragi11 Next time you are at a Kamelot concert, just find the backstage entrance before the concert starts, and wait there after the concert. They'll come, they are really nice, they always have time : )

[bluette57]

@MeAmie94

tss tss tss they don't ALL come EVERY time :)) very often yes but not all the time :DD

[TheJonas211]

norge e den beste plassen i verden!

[RetroiconTV]

An artist

[ohartur]

even with glasses and casual clothes, khan is the sexiest!!

[zhoutai2000]

@ohartur 

[zhoutai2000]

@ohartur 

[SimplyCoko]

@ohartur fuckin' YES

[Molotov1337]

can someone PLEASE tell me what song there playing at the begining? "darkness turns to light"

[000HaDeeL000]

@Molotov1337 It's " The Black Halo" from the album "The Black halo"

[gryphonheart14]

@Molotov1337

The Black Halo, from the album The Black Halo, from the band The Black.. ups, no, Kamelot. xP

[AdventurousAnnie]

Thats so cute how he says Khantatat. x3

[Narwen2000]

I don´t want to use all the space for comments with the transcription... Sorry Bluette57!! :P

Go to the kamelot france myspace (blog) to see all the translation :P

[Narwen2000]

4 PART:

The stage name is Khan, a shortening of the long, difficult last name that is not exactly a normal name from Elverum.

"My name is Roy Sætre Khantatat, coming from Sørskogbygda, father from Thailand, and it is where Khantatat come from, but it was so difficult to pronounce for people, had to be cut down to only Khan and it has proven to be more convenient for people."

[lucymalak90]

@Narwen2000 hahahaha!!! it's very funny that he cut his name to Khan because the people can't pronounce "Khantatat"!!!

But c'mon I can pronounce it very well!!! The only word that I can't pronounce is Sorskogbygda, hahahaha, even to write it I spent like 2 minutes!!!

I guess that word is easy for a norwegian but not for a latin person like me!! hahahahaha

[Narwen2000]

THIRD PART - TAKEN FROM KAMELOT FRANCE MYPACE:

"It is totally different life than what you can live at home in your own living room, the conditions around you is so, so very, very different. When you stand, ready to go up on stage to be - be what people expect and have come to see a rock star. But you can not go on like that, when you are home and among friends and family, so you'll need, then you are as everyone else and live a normal life."

[Narwen2000]

SECOND PART:

The contrasts in his life are great, from the huge audience and great scenes from abroad to home life and song writing in Fetsund.

[Narwen2000]

From the Kamelot France Myspace:

Roy Sætre Khantatat and Kamelot have played with bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica and have had up to 70,000 spectators abroad. In Elverum it will be quite a few thousands fewer, but the vocalist is looking forward to a different concert.

"It is very special. Then there are many who probably will not normally see a Kamelot concert in the city here. So it is very fun. It's just that it is in Elverum and it's like coming home again to play at home in a way.

[soufang]

he mentioned "iron maiden" but i couldnt figure out through norwegian

[andreasoledad100]

que alguien traduzca esto ......por favor....

grande Roy Khan......I love you

[bluette57]

you can find an english version on the Kamelot France Myspace - blog section - june 2009 :)

[Sai00rM00n]

@andreasoledad100 si tienes razón, porke tiene una voz hermosa!!!!!!

[00ashes00]

I have no idea what he says !! All I know that I'm in love !!! he's so cute and sweet !! on the stage always kinda "aggressive" in a good way..maybe that's what metal needs :D but here.. so so sweet !

[gragi11]

could someone translate thie?

[lucymalak90]

Jajajaja lo unico que pude entender es que en el min. 1:36 habla acerca de su apellido (Khantatat) y creo que dice que su madre (o talvez su padre) provienen de Tailandia

P.D. Su apellido pronunciado por él mismo suena realmente raro.

Jaja!! The only thing that I could understand was that in 1:36 he talks about his surname ( Khantatat) and I think that he says that his mom (or maybe his father) comes from Thai people.

P.d. His surname pronounced by himself sounds really weird!!

[bluette57]

his father is from thailand.... and he"cut" Khantatat to Khan because it was easier to pronounce in norway....

[zhoutai2000]

@lucymalak90 de todos los videos donde el youtube traductor no me servia tenia que fallarme en este!!!

[lucymalak90]

@zhoutai2000 Disculpa no comprendí tu comentario :)

No sé si lo que quisiste decir fue que no entendiste mi, hasta cierto punto, forzado inglés, o que te habría gustado más que lo escribiera en español, porque de ser así podría hacerlo, lo cual sería incluso más fácil para mi.

[zhoutai2000]

@lucymalak90 nada de eso xD me referia a que normalmente el youtube viene con la opcion de poner subtitulos y traducirlos pero justo en este video donde mas lo nesecito...... no aparece ^__^

deberias escuchar

Kamelot - Ne Pleure Pas

es la de dont you cry pero en noruego

[shadowelvis9]

roy khan is stranger...

[lucymalak90]

Why is he stranger??

He is awesome, well in this video.

[conceptualanarchist]

Awesome. Everything in this language sounds like a question, lol. Aside from that, Khan is awesome.

[Sethekk]

@conceptualanarchist

Nobody really talks like that, its classic reporter-talk and it just sounds really silly :P

[conceptualanarchist]

haha, I see.

[CrazyGirlMeee]

Haha NORSK, så gøy å høre han snakke norsk :P

[Dwylljocht]

I don't understand a word of it, but he seems like a really nice guy, and quite different than on stage.

[StoraTomtefar]

He has the same computer case as I do. I like that. 1:50

[iiniesta]

translate anyone????

[MasterPamer]

It's very special, you've got many people in the audience who wouldn't usually be on a Kamelot concert, so going back to Elverum (Eastern Norway) will be like going home, in a way

[LunaSilverShine]

Thanks so much for uploading this! Had the original link added to my favourites but the website seems to have taken the vid down now.

[ztv]

Gryyymt!

[Slavvvvvvvvvv]

what a sexy & lovely voice...

[Muffinjin]

@XMeadowsOfHeavenX

Då har du inte varit på många av hans konserter, för han snackar norska när jag sett Kamelot live i Stockholm... och så kommer dom nu i April!! LÄNGTAR!!

[XMeadowsOfHeavenX]

Haha, jeg skrev den kommentaren når jeg såhvidt hadde begynt å høre på dem :3

Vet!! Gleder meg noe sykt!! (jeg skal på konsert i oslo da, men men)

[xvashstampedexx]

The Black Halo is the beginning song

[iTzMeGzuZ]

[MeAmie94]

[gardinbruker]

Jeg var i Trondheim, det var FANTASTISK!

[Painjoiker]

Agreed ^^
