[dedsissa]

Jorn is f. amazing

[lemonadeader]

[thegreatninjaman]

WE ROCK THE BALL!

[xxXfanosXxx]

this is AVANTASIA's best song in my opinion...

[razormakk]

Motherfucking dislikers, we'll find you, find you and rape you, then we'll discard your useless bodies and use them as fertilizer.

[GuitarFreakHD]

[Corrosive1]

I just love the vocal transition between 1:02 and 1:05...Both Jorn Lande and Tobias Sammet are amazing singers, with stunning voices, but when Tobi's vocal starts at 1:05, it's simply amazing.

[mamow1]

top comments are too great lol

[guitarpro112]

I've listened to this 13 times in a row now and it's still as awsome as the first time!!

[dofkaw]

@guitarpro112 Liar... It's even better when u listen the 13rd time... Shame on you.

[scarlettbane]

Favorite part 1:20-1:35

[GilderRyleon]

My favorite part of this song is the part from 1:04-1:20.

[ahorwood]

I love this track. I have asked my daughter to make sure it's played at my funeral.

How can any piece of music be so good? This is the perfect storm of song vwriting, instrumentation and performance. I wish I could go back 30 years and play this to my teenaged self and say "Look what you have to look forward to. All is not lost."

[DarkLionInteractive]

@ahorwood still not a funeral song.... it breathes too much life into you.......

[ahorwood]

@DarkLionInteractive Well, it's not as though I intend to stay dead.

[dofkaw]

@ahorwood By the way, at your funeral make sure to also play Death is Just a Felling :) I recommend it high!

[Roflmaoistable]

@ahorwood Dude..i have 15 years and i listen to power metal...like many i know.

[ghostgaffdeck08]

@ahorwood Beautifully said ;/

[TheRealBoof]

@ahorwood I'm so glad I'm a teenager and LOVE this music :D

[skuzemeewtfurdoin]

WE ROCK THE BOAT

[DisapointedPrayer]

isen't this edguy?

[turbooggyboy]

@DisapointedPrayer It's Avantasia.

[Tzuqris]

@DisapointedPrayer Tobias Sammet is the singer for both. Avantasia was his "side band" even though it sorta grew out of control.

[DisapointedPrayer]

@Tzuqris thx for the info

[manti1992pl]

Awesome song.

[squadanarchy]

good song. o_0

[mamow1]

Jorn Lande, so much power!

[zollo1972]

fantazia

[Imatrollyay]

I'm glad I started listening to European metal bands. God help me if I had to listen to American bands for much longer...

[Imatrollyay]

Power metal is awesome.

[denistsubasa]

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

very funny!!!

[0KBM0]

You know, most of the time I say Hansi Kursch is the best vocalist out there, but...

when I listen to some of Sammet's stuff, like this, iiiiiiiii'm suddenly not sure. what do you guys think?

[1993TonyW]

@0KBM0 Well its hard to judge.. Since they sing in a very different style after all. But, does it make any difference who is the best and who comes second? :)

[ahorwood]

@0KBM0 Jorn Lande was guest vocalist on this.

[metallero08]

good band......good song

AVANTASIA ROCKS

[HarryNJordanFtKieran]

best intro ever

[KoTORSolid2]

Oh and if if your gonig to listen dragon force i highly recommend through the fire and hte flames. Your soul will be ringing with the awesomeness of it

[luzariodarken96]

@KoTORSolid2 Lolno dragonforce sucks DID YOU HEAR THEM LIVE??? they suck it is a stupid studio band that think they can be epic but this band is way better

[KoTORSolid2]

@luzariodarken96 thats why dream evil > dragon force :P

[KoTORSolid2]

If you liked this song try Dream Evil , Dragon force, Iron Maiden. They have this kind of music quality

[Jizzumism]

God damn this song is fuckin awesome kwedjawnkeelr23kl5rp#23l

[mafiaman315]

[paul44miles]

Man this song is Smoking. This song just Shreds from start to finish.

[Geronkie1]

No Matter what the Haters Say, Sammet is a Legend!!!

[soccerstud4243]

the black halo by kamelot was mine, twisted mind was second :D

[0oDaantje12o0]

Hotel California was my first song this year, and one of my fav all times!

why was Avantasia not in the top2000 in the Netherlands??? than it was the first song!

[MrFreeOliveira]

First song that I heard in 2011 :)

[mustapekka92]

Avantasia is amazing band !! and always will be :)

[Madylka]

nice, i like it xD

[CrazyOfMetal666]

I have a single word for this song : Masterpiece ! \m/

[sonosilvana]

troppo grandi !!!

[sgarrou]

AMAZING CHORUS!!!

[100theevil]

justin bieber will be the next fucker down!!!

[MetalChild96]

@100theevil did you really have to comment that?

[fredriklundqvist87]

Jorn Lande is a fucking awesome singer and this song kicks ass, i cant stop listening to it! Tobias Sammet is a genious!

[andoman5000]

The chorus blew my ass out

[EmperorOfRevenge]

@andoman5000 really???

the chorus blew my ass IN O_o

[TehOutroman]

@andoman5000 well thats not good...

[SieghartzBR]

this song is awesome

[ADeadlierSnake]

BAH!!!! Why cant the vocals be death metal growls?!! The instrumentals are sooooooo epic in this song! But i cant stand power metal vocals. =/

[darkhensla]

@ADeadlierSnake because death metal growls are horrible and doesnt caracterize as music .. ?

yeah, that would be it.

[ADeadlierSnake]

@darkhensla lolwut. just cause you dont like them doesnt make them horrible or not music. It just means you have limited taste

[Militaizi]

@ADeadlierSnake You are soo right! Why power metal is always against death metal and death metal is against classical/power metal? Why nobody can't like both of them... I feel like i'm the only one who listens to all metal.. From folk metal to power metal, heavy metal, (melodic) death metal and speed metal. (and much more)

[ADeadlierSnake]

@Militaizi Yeah, idk why either. I WISH i liked power metal (for songs like this!), but i just cant handle the vocals. =(

But yeah, metal is metal. I dont like these "genre wars" much either lol

[rogman1000]

@ADeadlierSnake youll learn to love it. i used to like death metal alot more than power metal but now i still like death metal its just that those growling vocals now remind me of that gay deathcore emo music. and i find power metal vocals a bit rawer and actually define metal for me. dont think of it as high pitched singing just think of it as power metal vocals and plus its really epic

[ADeadlierSnake]

@rogman1000 Yeah i HOPE i learn to love it! theres so many power metal songs out there with sick instrumentals but then i just cant stand the vocals. Eh, it normally takes me a while to adjust to new types of music. But im sure i will eventually. I never even used to like metal

[rogman1000]

@ADeadlierSnake but if you still dont like these vocals here is a power metal song that wont disappoint you Falconer- Mindtraveller. theres no high vocals and it still has that power metal musical genius to it. Rock on bro

[AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

By the way, the pre-chorus of this song, when Tobias comes in, is probably my favorite Tobias moment in history. Either than or the notes after the chorus in Dirty Wings from the Nuclear Blast Allstars album.

[RockTheWorld967]

It sounds almost like Iron Maiden . I'm crazy about Iron Maiden . \m/

[AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

@RockTheWorld967 I've kept saying that Tobias reminds me of Bruce Dickinson. Which is a huge compliment for any metal vocalist, I would imagine.

[azura7100]

BRAVE! BREAK! BRAVO!

[darthpastor01]

kick butt song!!!

[Smilerwills]

AVANTASIA (BOW)

[ladysguy28]

Yo i became a metal person cuz of this song xD

[DimmuBorgir666NL]

this album cover is almost the same as that of Iron Maiden seventh son of blabla... But that doesn't make it not nice.. Awesome song :D

[ahorwood]

I can sort of hear a similarity between this and FOTD, but find it hard to give a shit. The great news is two superb pieces of music for me to listen to at work.

I love Toby, and I love the concept of Avantasia, where we also get to hear Jorn Lande, singing music by Tobais Sammet.

Just when you think that life can't get much better, there's more metal.

[maggpoe]

This song kind of reminds me of Fear of the Dark, I guess.

[Bielkovina25]

nice

[jennythemusicmaker]

Huge rip-off of Afraid of the Dark by Iron Maiden by any chance? It's a great song but it's such a shame about how much it mimics the Irons.

[unholybunnyman]

@jennythemusicmaker ummmm yea i think youre talking about FEAR of the dark by maiden and erm... sorry mate but it sounds nothin like it at all...

[jennythemusicmaker]

@unholybunnyman My bad on the title, but listen from 1:44 and not only is it the same rhythm, but the overall key is the same too. watch?v=Nba3Tr_GLZU

[unholybunnyman]

@jennythemusicmaker sorry man, still cant hear it at all! can anyone else???

[Grond33]

@jennythemusicmaker If you're gonna say that they've ripped off a song, at least know what song you're talking about. Afraid to Shoot Strangers or Fear of the Dark? I dunno, but either way no. This sounds nothing like either of them, musically or lyrically.

[jennythemusicmaker]

@Grond33 It's Fear of the Dark, like I said. At least maggpoe agrees with me... Another Angel Down has got a very similar riff that also appears in the first mental bit in Fear of the Dark. It's got the same rhythm and it's in the same key. I'm not saying this song is bad. It's just a shame the riff is so similar. It's like the Lost In Space chorus being similar to the chorus of Nemo by Nightwish.

[Grond33]

@jennythemusicmaker Still can't see it at all, nor can i see Lost In Space's chorus being in any way similar to Nemo. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on those two points aha.

[BaffleBento]

Reminded me of Guilty Gear X, instrumentally ^_^

[denkleinen1]

the first singer of the song is the greatest singer in the world, yes..... its jorn

[rune199414]

im so glad i met a friend on world of warcraft that shoved me avantasia, cause this is exacly what type of music i really like! i can never get enough and i never get tired of a song from Avantasia. And the singer have the crasiest best voice ever!!

Metallica and Danzig cd's r not played anymore for me, only Avantasia!

[SophieHarperIsMe]

My friend said the words of the chorus reminded her of me and she linked me to this song... If I'm honest it's not my thing but I'm not going to dislike it because there's worse stuff (Justin Beiber) out there. It was a nice thought from her so if she sees this it was sweet of you, just not Muse like enough :) Although the guitars on this song are amazing :) Have a nice day, night, whatever, if you read this.

[sonyan78]

Jorn Lande. Masterplan, Ark, album with Allen Russel from Symphony X, solo career, etc. HE IS POWERFUL!

[Emmaaaa55]

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAZING!

[neolopus]

who is the first to sing on that song ? What'1s his band ? the guy's voice is amazing

[Hrvo182]

@neolopus

Jorn Lande..he doesn't have a band so far as i know

[neolopus]

@Hrvo182 omg why not ? the guy is amazing !

[Frisbeeeman]

Does anyone know, who is the first singer? He has an incredible voice...

[S4CK80Y]

@Frisbeeeman Jorn Lande :)

[aendre94]

art of music

[KeusFrench]

JORN4LIFE

[Weskernos]

those 12 people listing rather justin biebers #### music rather than this god-like music

[DoAnything3456]

im a big fan of classical music, among other genres. i used to just dismiss metal as "just noise", but after hearing this song and some others, i realized how absolutely brilliant metal can be. much better than most of the garbage mainstream music ppl listen to now

[cerdini20]

@DoAnything3456 Try listening to bands like Epica and Sirenia. They mix choir, classical and metal. They're not as fast paced as Avantasia but are still really good.

[NervesOfSteel1986]

@DoAnything3456 whoaaaa dude watch your tongue .. the guitar speaks many tones .. if you don't like it turn it off. . but don't knock us down because you don't appreciate it

[XaleManix]

@NervesOfSteel1986 Its okay man, he's talking about the manufactured music, AKA rap and pop.

[NervesOfSteel1986]

@XaleManix oh the crap radio plays cool

[guitarnublet]

@DoAnything3456

Spread the word and welcome to the club, brother!

[metalhead7369]

@DoAnything3456 ye but sometimes metal can get to out of hand. as much as i am a metalhead i need some kind of melody in there

[rockpop1]

@DoAnything3456 dude what the hell are you talking about this is fucking pure power metal all their albums telling a story about something. if you reading whats between the lines and understand the lyrics it is so much better and awesome that's the way edguy is

[HerveGamerDude]

@DoAnything3456 you are no longer blinded , you can see metal for wat it really is... a masterpiece

[aendre94]

@DoAnything3456

yeah metal isn't just noise... people must listen more and more metal songs and then comes it, people will find good (amazing) metal songs/artists...

for example: this

[kazaakas]

@DoAnything3456

Ah its great to hear that, you know

Many people dont have much of an idea what metal sounds like, they mostly associate the complete genre with the numetalcore horseshit

But those who are open minded enough to listen to it without any prejudices will actually see that quite some bands are very talented and virtuous, especially the 80's bands.

Actually metal has a lot of classical influences :D

[WorldOfNothin]

@DoAnything3456 Welcome to the club lol Metal can be really amazing music, but can also be garbage just have to find the good groups lol

[locsaretheshit]

@DoAnything3456 this is "Symphony Metal" or "Opera Metal"

I love it.

[CaptainAnarchy339]

@locsaretheshit there power metal.

[skyl1neG]

@DoAnything3456 you are GOD damn right mate... the crap that they are listening aahhh just awful ...

[KoTORSolid2]

@DoAnything3456 true metal fans look past what's on the air. It sucks

[ADeadlierSnake]

@DoAnything3456 Its good to finally hear someone say that

[EmberBurn333]

"We rock the ball

Been smashed to the ground"

For me this part was a misheard lyric part by me, I thought it was: "We rock them all! And smash through the crowd!" Great song nontheless!!

[HawthornWitch]

@EmberBurn333 roooofl more amusing mental image in the second one, yeah

[Cl4ym0r0n4life]

Real music for REAL men...

[pionfax1]

i fully agree with XaleManix, 20 minutes would be awesome while playing World of Warcraft. =D

[HuevosRotos]

ey people! anybody could tell me what does ``rock the ball´´ means? thank youuuu.

[MeFernanda]

Tobias > Bruce Dickinson Oh, wait! I'm probably too excited for having typed something like that. But I don't care. This guy is f****** awesome! What a voice!

[Nuotykis]

@MeFernanda It's becoming true ever since the last studio album of 'Maiden.

[qwertyuiop11able]

[BloCKheadKamikaze]
