Avantasia - Angel Of Babylon

[Ashleymjy]

I prefer music that sounds awesome to music that sucks ass. I don't really care how popular/unpopular it is. I'm not trying to win any "whose ipod playlist is most obscure?" contests (thanks, tvtropes). I don't need to be a hipster.

Oh, and I wish Avantasia's videos had a few (hundred) million more views so that everyone could experience how great this music is. Oh snap. I just said a deserving 'band' should be more popular. CLEARLY NOT A REAL METAL FAN UH OH.

[GhostPrototypeAlpha]

@Ashleymjy I agree completely with your whole comment,sir.Don't ever give a shit about the nonsense that those dumb "TR00 M3T4LH34D" fucktards are spreading.

Btw,I'm that ImmortalNightmare17 guy.You have probably seen all my comments.

[FlashBlack]

wow, dirty lyrics :)

[Xyfer666]

One of the best songs ever! EVER!

Tobias MOTHERFUCKER

[Mapanda]

I'm a complete newbie about metals. Is Avantasia a german metal? I'm trying to search good German metal on youtube recently. any kind advice for me? Thanks in advance!!

[TajemnaTemnota]

@Mapanda Tobi (singer) is from German others I don't know.

Good german bands are Rammstein, Oomph, Edguy, Doro (singer)....

[HysteriaxAlice]

@TajemnaTemnota

You forgot Haggard. Every song from Haggard is a masterpiece.

[TajemnaTemnota]

@HysteriaxAlice Sorry I don't know all bands from Germany a I don't remember from which countrey they are mostly. I am stupit about it xD.

[Mapanda]

@TajemnaTemnota @HysteriaxAlice

Thank you so much for your information!! I will try them!! :)

[Magegg]

This song is about anal sex, isn't it?

[TajemnaTemnota]

@Magegg I don't know but this is crazy idea xD.

[sebinounet]

Fantastic Jens Johanson !

[MrFrankcoef]

can anyone link my a keyboard solo, what u think is the best. cause i never really heard a good one. well never heard one at all XD

thanks

[Reaper420Jay]

love it.



[yanava]

One of the best keyboard solos in a song with the worst chorus of Avantasia history. Shame!

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@yanava This is the best Avantasia Chorus ever.FACT.The keyboard solo isn't that good.

[yanava]

@ImmortalNightmare17 I deeply respect your opinion, even though I don't quite agree with it. I think several choruses are far better than this one, like The Scarecrow, Sign of the Cross. But I've grown more fond of this song since my comment, so I understand your point.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@yanava I know what you are talking about and I also respetc your opinion.I,for one,think this is the best Avantasia song ever,mainly because this song really got me into Avantasia.

Oh and I'm glad this song grew on you.

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 I agree that this chorus is awesome (as is every part of every Avantasia song), but for me you just can't beat Death is Just a Feeling

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 I respect your opinion man.Death is just a feeling has really a great chorus too.

Also,nice icon.

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 thanks man :D And pretty much EVERY Avantasia song is awesome :P

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 No problem.

Agreed,but I highly doubt that Avantasia is better than Edguy.

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Eh, they're different. I like Edguy better, but in fairness Edguy has also been around longer and therefore has had more opportunity to be awesome. I view Avantasia as basically Edguy with a bunch of badass guests.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 Exactly my thoughts man.But hey,everything Tobias Sammet touches turns to gold.LOL

Avantasia is more like a "little brother" to Edguy if you ask me.

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Cept Aina. That never really went anywhere, Unfortunately.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 Cept Aina?Never heard of?

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 /watch?v=k5tIY6Q5pDI Here's the one Sammet sings. However, it's a concept album, and he helped write the music and he serves as the narrator for the story.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 This......is GREAT!What a shame it never went anywhere.

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 ikr? there are so many awesome metal bands that no one ever hears about. Makes me sad.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 Some bands don't even want to be known by many.They prefer staying underground........and I like underground bands more than the commercial ones.

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 You have a point. I like all the good metal, underground or commercial makes no difference. Exception: Metallica. I hate them, despite how good the early albums were, because of Lars and because of how obnoxious they are as a brandname.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 I als appreciate good Metal,whether it be commercial or underground.Metallica?....I know,Lars Ulrich is a little bitch and I hate them too.

But I really want to have their first 4 albums!

[tracer3642]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Just go pirate them, Metallica has enough money.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@tracer3642 LMFAO This was the best comment I have seen in ages.

I want their albums on CD,though.

[TVL919]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Hipster scum.

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@TVL919 How am I a hipster,you fucktard?

[Roflmaoistable]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Yeah, i only hope Avantasia will not became too much commercial..even if millions of wiews on theyr songs makes me happy...

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@Roflmaoistable Agreed.They might end up like Selloutica.

[Roflmaoistable]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Dont know that band..let me guess...new stuff sucks..

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@Roflmaoistable You don't know Metallica?Yeah,their new stuff blows ass.

[Roflmaoistable]

@ImmortalNightmare17 Ah now i got the joke ::D

[ImmortalNightmare17]

@Roflmaoistable I'm glad you did.

[Roflmaoistable]

@tracer3642 Well, they havethousands of wiews. its not really that weak

[tracer3642]

@Roflmaoistable I'm sorry, i forget what I said and I can't find my comment...what is this in response too?

[Roflmaoistable]

@tracer3642 About Cept Aina...how the project didnt really went anywhere..

[tracer3642]

@Roflmaoistable I had thought it didn't. I stand corrected, glad to know it succeeded after all.

[Hokumanga]

Remember “Theater of Salvation”? I do. What happen to that, Tobbie?

[shagrath559]

well,i'm from iraq.and we're babylonians.but the world don't really know us.this song makes me proud !

[TheCasanovvaa]

@shagrath559 The Middle east was the intellectual capital of the world before Islam swept across the region then they regressed. Almost every single western intellectual from mathematicians to scientists(Socrates, Leonardo de Piza, Da vinci..etc) were taught in the middle east. Im just saying maybe you all should go back to being the freethinkers of the world instead this whole allah wants us to live according to these laws and anything else bad system.

[Premdus]

Well ... Jens is fucking beast !!!

[Reiricardos]

repetitivo.....a fórmula é a mesma.... quereria apenas que Metal opera ficasse para a história..mas as sequências quebraram um candidato a clássico...

[yamiimax]

german power metal i never get in them really much finnish power metal ftw

[Baumwolljacke]

@yamiimax Well I see power metal as one freaking epic genre :D

[Paul12040]

Avantasia is Great!!!

[BlackSabbath1989Dio]

this is real power metal

[BlindDarkWolf]

Beautiful song!

[brutallant]

one of the best keyboard solos ever!

[TheAndrezoz]

no falta e puto que pone que no le gusta la cancion... bueno el video

[lucasforevermetal]

quien pudo ser el marmota q le dio mal voto a este tema?

[fafaffu2]

the metal operas were better

[xXHollowkillerXx]

@fafaffu2 yeah but it's hard to top the epicness of the metal operas :D seven angels ftw

greetz from germany^^

[PowerMetalsDemon]

@seritavanderlinde44 Fail?!

[Stieker92]

@PowerMetalsDemon

lol you gotta give bots credit sometimes theyre really making themsleves more stupid than whats humanly possible

[poweremblematico]

OMG! mr johansson on the keyboard! holy shit!

[gerpalia]

FUCK - stop spamming downloader links, this band just doesn't deserve these kind of comments, fuck, there's no security here for automations? or if you are spamming by copy/paste, then you're a great dumbass

[Julios2471]

epic music, i love it and actually download all the albums.

[shadowman253]

@Julios2471 And I went to their show at Mexico, the last december. It was fucking epic with Kiske, Hansen and Lande there. :D

[blasabb]

My God : O This song is really amazing. Without a doubt the best song from the two new albums. The chours is just amazing

[frehleyscomic]

Jorn Lande is Thee Angel Of Babylon ;).

[d34db4ll]

WACKEN 2011! woho

[Lutzefur]

@d34db4ll Sure!! ;P

[Vandroiy2]

Best track on AOB

[suitov]

I wish the whole of the album had been like this. Rock's good and all, but I miss Avantasia's balls-out unabashed power metal roots.

[relicanth101]

@suitov Problem though is that Tobias is trying do something different from edguy. Like this sounds like a typical edguy song.

[suitov]

buttsecks?

[KazumaBR]

@suitov No, surprise buttsecks

[MightierThanSword]

GLORIOUS!!! They need to hurry up and release this in the U.S. already. I'm dying for an Angel...er, *album*... ^_^

[TearisShatteredMoon]
