Kamelot - Center Of The Universe (Live Chile 2011, Feat. Fabio Lione)

[xX1994rulesXx]

Khan is Khan, but I must admit that I am really surprised with Fabio's singing... In a good way. I think they choose a good replacement, but I still hope that Khan will return one day...

[metalmann21]

Con Roy Khan no me gustaba casi esta canción en cambio con Fabio me fascinaaaa

[Fjordgnu]

European power metal was what got me into metal in the first place. It's safe to say that this is better than a lot of the alternatives I could imagine.

[mcgab6]

nossa o lione é muito ruim mesmo, parece até q ta cagando na hora q canta

[happosai100]

Fabio is truly badass !!!

[Mitja003]

oh god why... where the fuck is the emotion?? THIS IS NOT KAMELOT..

ROY WE BEG YOU, COME BACK.. or at least Mark.. PLEAAAASE :(((

[xfootballer814]

@Mitja003 Well for starters the audio quality sucks, and secondly yes Roy was better but damn it Fabio does a damn good job. I will continue supporting them and hope that they return to the states soon so i can finally see them live. 

[Mitja003]

@xfootballer814 First of all, Kamelot is my favourite band, I've seen them live with Roy and it was amazing.. just sayin' that it'll never be the same.. and just like you do, I want to see them live with Fabio and I'll never stop supporting them. 

[Shadowsoul81]

oh my god... I can't even stand to listen to it through... hearing Lione sing in Roy's stead just makes me puke. Lione may even be a great singer, but he definitely doesn't fit in with kamelot at all... plus his pronounciation just makes me sick. I'd kick him in the face whenever he opens his mouth to speak english. LIONE GO HOME!!! YOU SUCK!!!

[WowzaGuy]

WOW... this was really good. I don't think there's any "replacement" for Khan, but this is a pretty good new direction for Kamelot, should they choose it. I didn't think Tommy was a good fit (he's better with his own band SW, which btw is shockingly amazing). Michael Eriksen from CM was really awesome in his guest appearance, but he's recording with CM right now. THIS was awesome. Fabio is different than Khan, but edgy enough and a great on-stage presence. This is good. Bravo!

[frnnraven17]

Fabio Lione is the best!!!!

[stalkeronline]

FABIO LIONE KICKS ASS!!

[BoredinaForest]

fabio is fine and all but i feel like this voice is too polished and thin. roy's voice had a fullness and a richness to it. and you felt more emotion when he pushed for the higher notes. i really have no interest in seeing kamelot without roy

[elsmano]

Reconozco el excelente trabajo de Fabio Lionel cómo vocalista, pero en kamelot su voz no encaja cómo lo hacía la de Roy, quizá sea sólo el hecho de estar acostumbrado a su voz en el grupo, pero de igual forma a Fabio no le veo especial encaje en el grupo.

[Maeguk]

I would have gone for Michele Luppi! that guy has the vocal range and the pronounciation as well!

[Ja7zi]

I LOVE FABIO!!!!!! A REALLY GREAT SINGER!!!!

[heason]

i like the fact he did the same live variations that roy does, mainly the "in the line of Of HAVE knowwwwwwwn""

[innocentamelia]

On the lower notes, he sounds alright, I'll give him that. But that's the most slack I feel I can give because ultimately, he doesn't bring the same emotions that Khan did. Khan always felt conflicted, an undertone of a beautiful but bitter and constant inner struggle was ALWAYS apparent in his voice. He always seemed to be -feeling- what the character in the song was about and -that's- what made his performance a cut above the rest.

[Ja7zi]

@innocentamelia I think that Khan is great, but, Fabio Lione is really fabulous!!

In the lower notes he sounds good, but in the high notes he is really amazing and is evident than he achieved transmit the feeling.

Khan always be great, i love Khan, but Fabio Lione is just the king.

[CarlOlav]

@innocentamelia Damn straight! It's Roy's vocals that pulls me into the songs, regardless of the cheesy lyrics and themes, hehe. For me, Kamelot will not work with anyone else, because he is the key ingredient. Casey's drumwork will still be as awesome though!

[WowzaGuy]

@innocentamelia I totally agree. You know what... I got a similar feeling during Michael Eriksen's stand-in performance. It makes sense since he sings that way on his own album Isolate. While he's not a replacement for Khan, he brings his own and has that similar feel of conflict. You know who I think would also bring that? Ray Adler... Have you heard Snowfall on Judgement Day??? Wow, talk about beautiful and conflicted.

[Vinitachi]

Fabio is a great singer for sure. His style is just different from Roy's. So they just have to adjust accordingly... but I'm afraid I will lose two bands I love in the process. So yeah, I'm unsure.

[juswannawatchthings]

i think this is fucking awesome....I'd happily see them live with fabio

[CavemanJesus4Life]

Kamelot need to get Michele Luppi as he s the only great singer needed for Kamelot

[Zylrex]

zOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[magitoforce1]

Fabio es un gran cantante.. Pero Roy era la voz de Kamelot y la insignia. Por muy buen cantante q sea Fabio. Para Kamelot solo hay uno.. y Es Roy. hoy y siempre..

[SeekThePowerSteel]

prefiero a Roy :(

[knukls928]

this is one song that MUST be carried over from the Khan era

Fabio does it that well

[KirenVanDorff]

Fabio + Kamelot = perfection!!!

[KMarien]

I think Roy had a richer, more 'stage' voice. He was all opera like and commanded the stage. Fabio's voice is just fine, but he lacks the stage presence/voice thing I think Roy has. Also, the inflections on certain words is just weird to listen too when you're used to a certain accent singing your songs! It's not BAD, just different.

[innocentamelia]

@KMarien I agree, and in truth it was that opera training that brought the theatrical element to the group and really made their performances come off as metal playworks.

And mixing theatre and metal is just like combining an orchestra with metal-- it makes the experience far richer and more grandeur. Almost even decadent, but never quite going over the top, you know?

[sebarhap]

@innocentamelia Absolutely... I love Lione and all his work with Vision Divine, Rhapsody and such.. but he doesn't belong to this type of band.. Roy has a Very Dark voice and a different register, so elegant and creepy.. His lower notes reeaally makes anyone feel goosebumps.. he gives the band the "KAMELOT" thing that now it lacks... U.U

I love Lione... but not for Kamelot :/ I hate listening to him in these songs.. he has a very..VERY different style..

[HawthornWitch]

No one can really ever replace Khan .. not his voice nor his stage presence. But I also happen to really like Fabio.. he seems more 'personal' with the audience.. where Khan always seemed sorta.. Demigod looking down at his followers.. Haha. I'll miss Khan, but Im looking forward to seeing Kamelot with Fabio next month!

[19Murvel88]

In my humble opinion Khan's best performance was the "One cold winters night" show. I even prefer listening to that recording over the original! Sadly though, his voice has taken a beating over the years and I don't think he'll ever sound the same. That's why I prefer Lione as a singer, his technique is phenomenal. His voice still sounds great after all these years. Also his vibrato is rather similar to Khan's, and that's no bad thing. I got goosebumps listening to this, keep Mr. Lione!! :)

[nefredil]

hehehehehe, so fucking strange :-)! Watching Kamelot, hearing Rhapsody :-D!

what the fuck is happening with these bands? Dickinson, Tarja, Khan...?? Marketing trick maybe? Anyway, i actually like how Fabio fits to the Kamelot! I would like studio versions of some songs recorded with Fabio, then i will make my final judgement, for now i like him as a "replacement"

[druvincent2112]

Great work....and Fabio is amazing....'just stepping in?'....this guy is the real deal...for us in Alaska, youTube is all we have thank you

[zeradias13]

Roy return



[curziorufo]

@metaldownload nunca fuè un fiasco la voz de fabio. yo lo escuche en vivo y era formidable tambien si vas a mirar varios lives anteriores en youtube su vos es perfecta respecto a otros cantantes.

[THEPCM666]

Khan = Fabio ... Completely Different Way of Singing

[deniro4040]

Creo que Fabio es mas que un digno sustituto de Roy.Todos sabemos que Kamelot sin Roy es como Helloween sin Kiske,eso no quita de que Fabio sea un grandisimo cantante.

[tikkobmx]

se me hace ... o le bajaron de tono a las canciones para q fabio las pudiera cantar???....se oye mas agudo >.<

[Guillemetalero123456]

No podia creer que esa era la voz de Fabio pero en realidad es él! Enserio que se ha puesto las pilas para mejorar jajajaja es tan bueno como lo era Roy con Kamelot, tienen que admitirlo.... muy buen aporte |m|

[Sonatafan14]

This is quite likable, a different style though. I endlessly prefer the one of Roy, and damn I'll miss that legend.

[NightProwlerSerbia]

Fabio > Khan

[DarkRosse23]

Mil beses mejores que Roy , por Dios si debes opinar de puro fanatismos o despecho a uno u otro cantante. Con esto no quiero decir que Roy es mejor que Fabio, los dos son unos grandes. Aun que ami particularmente me gusta mas la voz mas grave que Roy tiene, pero como dijo es mi gusto y no todos tienen que compartirla.

[Metaldownloads]

Que manera de haber mejorado fabio... antes en vivo era un fiasco.

[seventhstring101]

*sigh...

If i wanted a stereotypical power metal singer, unexperienced in the subtle nuances of opera and operatic metal, I'd just listen to Gamma Ray. Which I have no problem doing, just not at the same time as Kamelot. =/

[zercelian]

TT .TT yo no pude ir!!! y mas encima el loco de rhapsody estuvo ... me quiero morir :( ... matenme ... now! (TT.TT)

[goldmemberleroy]

The Eriksen version beats this... just putting it out there....

[damabrazo]

Desde mi punto de vista una buena voz para el estilo kamelot es la de DC.Cooper. Sus graves poderosos podrían suplir los de khan con solvencia. Demás de ser un cantante sutil. fabio tiene un amplio registro y muy potente pero es siempre lo mismo. Coloco nota y vibrato, nada de dibujos con la voz, muy pocos matices, ni trinos, ni mordentes... es lo que hacía grande a Khan, su sutileza pero .. ojo que Fabio tbn me encanta

[chumyto31]

@damabrazo Supongo que eres cantante y posees estudios como para decir que Fabio no tiene matices en su voz , ni trinos, ni mordentes.....etc.

Aveces el fanatismo resta y va en desmedro de las opiniones imparciales que debieran acudir en pro de un argumento y critica concordante a los que escuchamos.

A Khan que en el ultimo tiempo su rango vocal en vivo no le alcazaba para nada a los temas ya compuestos antiguamente y nuestros favoritos por cierto.

[damabrazo]

@chumyto31 Es cierto que khan en su última etapa tenía la voz fastidiada. Es normal, teniendo en cuenta que cantaba en una tesitura poco apropiada. No me considero fan de Roy y tampoco de FAbio. Ambas voces me encantan. Fabio posee una técnica más lírica, de ahí su enorme potencia. Es un cantante que ha mejorado un montón. Pero después de escucharlo mil veces en Rhapsody te puedo decir que es un cantante más lineal que Roy. habría que ver a Fabio cantando Elisabeth, por ponerte un ejemplo.

[Thund3rStrvck]

Old Roy with Kamelot>Any singer with Kamelot, but it's also true that

Fabio with Kamelot>Any singer (available) with Kamelot

and to last but not least Fabio with Kamelot>No Kamelot at all :)

That's ofc, my opinion

[ghigaful]

@Thund3rStrvck yea....I prefere roy 2 (my favorite singer of all times) , but, if not roy, better Tommy :D cheers!!!

[OnceAgainICantSleep]

Yeah... Fabio is doing well. His performance is great. It's just...Fabio has the typical voice of a powermetal singer... which Roy hadn't. His timbre was somehow richer and deeper and yet he hit all those high notes. It made him stand out, something special... and in the end it put to much strain on his vocal chords, I guess.

But I can't help... when I listen to Fabios performance of Don't you cry or the calm part of Centre of the Universe here... it lacks emotion, I just don't feel the same.

[Thund3rStrvck]

@OnceAgainICantSleep finally a comment that says more than just "this sucks, that sucks". Totally agree with you. Roy was better, and especially in the lower notes, he sounded richer and deeper, and his stage presence was very good, very charismatic. It sucks that he strained his voice to such extent, that he had to quit altogether. It is my opinion, tho, that since Roy is no longer there, I can live with Fabio singing those songs, they are still very good, different but good.

[Thund3rStrvck]

Ah I almost forgot, if for you it is the end of a truly great band, then go listen to something else, noone is forcing you. It's a free world, last time I checked

[Thund3rStrvck]

btw fyi english is not my first language (altho I didn't make spelling mistakes like you did in some of your posts....things like LOOSING and so on), but I don't mind looking like a retard, if what I write can be understood even by a deadbrain like you. Have fun

[Thund3rStrvck]

Touché. The fact you are ignoring, my esteemed music expert, is that everyone is appreciating the performances Fabio is pulling with Kam. Roy at his best, would undoubtedly be better, but at present, you can't find better. And if 99% of the ppl who listened to the late Roy admit that he's lost his tones, and that Fabio is doing well, then maybe you are proven wrong. A lot of tone deaf fuck sticks? or just one very huge tone deaf fuckstick who all he does is complain

[TheFinalthorn]

And go learn how to speak English properly before you start typing and make youself look like a retard...

[TheFinalthorn]

By the way... I've never listened to a Britney Spears song in my entire life... so go spew your ignorance somewhere else...

[TheFinalthorn]

Like I said... there's a lot of tone deaf fuck sticks out there... thanks for proving my point...

[TheFinalthorn]

And if Kamelot is stupid enough to pick this guy for their tour just imagine how much the singer they end up choosing to permenantly replace Roy Khan is going to suck! What a shame... the end of a truly great band!

[Thund3rStrvck]

@TheFinalthorn ye Kamelot is stupid enough, you are the only brilliant guy around. You and your smart comments. You sound like you are an expert when in fact the only thing you listened thru your puberty was Britney Spears. Now do us a favor, in fact do us 2 favors, remove your ear wax before listening to great performances, and after that gtfo. tnx

[mrstefannnno]

mitico Fabio solo tu puoi sostituire Roy degnamente!!

[Beecels]

its a shame Roy was too ill to finish the tour. Fabio is more than capable of filling his shoes though

[PhoenixPhire22]

@Beecels It's a shame Roy quit permanently!! I have to say Fabio is quite impressive. Never dug Rhapsody too much and didn't care for his vocals in that... but he nails these kamelot songs...

[JulienR01]

This song is so good !!! And Fabio did a good job on it !! He is a good singer to replace Khan ..

Great Fabio !

[silentboom77]

Soooo many cameras XD

[primaveravirgo]

Gran recuerdo-



[Borealis77]

[akerbelmetal]

@Borealis77 No fue un concierto el día Jueves 7, Maiden estuvo el 10 y como soporte fue Exodus...

[Borealis77]

@akerbelmetal

gracias por responderme tan pronto.Era una curiosidad que queria saber.aqui en buenos aires iban a dar un concierto completo pero misteriosamente al poco tiempo de estar en vente las entradas cancelaron la fecha y anunciaron primero que vendrian sin Roy Khan y segundo que serian soportes de Maiden.Por consiguiente tocaron muy poco .una lastima.

[Skidbladner]

Pues la canta mil veces mejor que Roy, que va siempre muriéndose para llegar.

[chuax77]

Sin palabras un himno de Kamelot!!! excelente video mil gracias!
