I completely disagree that Helloween's is more epic than this. The recording sounds very bad, perhaps 80's. It's faster and i love that aspect but this one has catchier riffs, better choruses, and over all it's a heavier song. Faster doesn't necessarily mean heavier. Sammet, great job man.
This is pure awesome! Though I'm a bit suprised Sammet decided not to do that epic high-pitched tone in the end, like Helloweens version or "Reach out for the light" :)
@Crimee check out that three guys of avantasia still play or used to play(and sing!) for helloween. So I won't lie if I tell, that even this cover is influenced by pumpkins.
Nowadays I like rock and metal, but i used to be a huge ABBA fan, they still make me happy whenever I hear them. Never thought I would hear some metal + ABBA together but I'm glad I found this!! sounds great
@Foxfirexz a fan of helloween (a band filled with guys trying desperately to look as faggy as possible and look like they enjoy deepthroating every guy) calls me a fag.
very cool video i love avantesia i hope to see them soon.but i wat to tell you guys about a new band thats been inspirate in this band just look in YOUTUBE they play in english and spanish i love them DREAM KINGDOM
hey everybody please check the avantasia cover on my channel,the song is ''twisted mind'',i would really appreciate some comments!![i can take critics]
@unsubdu3d Even tho i am a big fan of Helloween i do have to agree with you there i have only recently started listening to this band and i think they are awesome
nuca pense en apreciar tanto una cancion que es del gusto de mi mama y de sus tiempos. jajaja. sammet es un maldito genio. aunque no me cayo nada bien en el ultimo concierto de edguy en mexico. en fin... el cover es simplemente genial.
no, el tipo es uno de los mejores musicos del planeta. solo no fue de mi agrado la forma en que termino el show. de golpe, sin complascencias, argumentando que eran unos... no recuerdo el termino, algo asi como unos maricones y que la presion atmosferica aqui era demasiada para ellos, y se fueron. como si no hubieramos visto sus conciertos anteriores, falto mucho para ser el edguy que conocemos. algo muy diferente en el concierto de avantasia, lleno de energia, en fin, no fue su dia, no se.
abbas songs are good (some of them) but i think they sing this song beter it is the same with ''sonata arctica'' with the song ''wind beneath my wings''
such a good song, the chorus has a sort of lyricism which reminds me of the German Romantic Movement. I don't know why there still isn't a version for choirs of it
Abba and Benny andersson is very good musicians, and as you said, ray2424, so can this kind of music be covered in nearly every genre... Maybe would be great in black metal?
te amo tobias sammets ♥ !
