Ayreon / Avantasia - Elected

[KingOfTheWiadro]

I respect Ayreon but i prefer Avantasia.

\m/

[I3lindGuardian]

I didnt even know who or what avantasia was when 01011010 came out...Now I constantly listen to both...goddamnit music is awesome

[Annique]

If I was going to spend eternity in the cold darkness of space with the discography of only one of these two, it would be Arjens work, but only just and I would mournfully miss Avantasia. They are both amazing and this delightful collaberation confirms that.

[neophorn3]

Nice cover , but still I prefer original version from Alice Cooper

[rickrokks]

lol i guess both are goood but i prefer ayreon

[AlexOne82]

Wish I would see Arjen and Tobias making a metal opera together. I bet it would be mindblowing!

[RtosVadumee]

@AlexOne82 I bet there wouldn't enough room for both of them on one project, one's geniusness would cripple the other's..

[nexusg5]

AYREON wins by TKO.

[Spectre500]

It's nice to see there's minimal argument about whether Ayreon or Avantasia are better. It would be stupid if a collaboration between two incredibly talented artists triggered off some malicious debate.. Stay Metal \m/

[Miunni]

Is Arjen singing here?

[Maguskoopa]

@Miunni Yeah, he sings half the lyrics (and starts).

[acheman]

Ayreon > Avantasia

[happyfacegoatboy]

both aryeon and avantasia together in one song is eargasm

[CR0M3T4LZ0N3]

Avantasia > Ayreon

[MARCOCIENI]

@CR0M3T4LZ0N3 No, both are great. Don't be ignorant.

[kimon93]

very good alice cooper cover ;-D

[Jerkerian92]

I prefer Ayreon of course... but Edguy is a great band! and great cover, good work on it :P

[xLugaidx]

oooooooooooh...this is orgasmic...my favourite singers together..but only for 3 minutes :(...I want an entire album!!!!

[PullusPardus]

Arjen for president! no no Tobias for president!

no no , Ayreontasia for president!!

[kuroyama1]

this is awesome love ayreon and cant wait to get guilt machine (arjens latest project)

[vompattti]

I've loved Ayreon for ages, but it wasn't until Eleted that I ran into Avantasia.. Another awesome band, though they really can't be compared (and Ayreon remains my alltime favorite)

Rock on, "insert genre here"-metal fans!

(O,o)___|,,/

[SSJason19]

More people should do this.

Get a big heated rivalry and hype for they're new albums and then fuck it and duet on an Alice Copper classic! Everyone wins! Awesome!

[strutter1978]

Interesting cover of an old Alice Cooper tune. Good job on it :)

[daglaton]

Personally I think Avantasia are better but that's only because I heard Edguy long before I heard anything associated with Arjen. Both great bands though.

[jordanleroo]

Avantasia and Ayreon are not comparable. Ayreon uses a strict storyline method for every song on an album. Tobias even stated that Avantasia's albums Metal Opera I and II were the only metal opera albums he was going to ever release. Avantasia is great melodic power metal band, Ayreon is metal opera through and through. I enjoy both bands equally.

[rph1990]

@jordanleroo but....but...they released albums at similar times to one another...they must be compared and contrasted and ignored as singular bands, clearly

/sarcasm, just in case, and yes, im aware im replying to a 2 year old comment

[Lelouch1991]

@jordanleroo WRONG!. Indeed Tobi said that The Metal Opera I and II would be the only metal opera almbus he was going to release. However The Scarecrow Triology also are Metal Opera Albums. And ofcourse, your comment is 2 years old.. So you don't know about Angel of Babylon and The Wicked Symphony at that time, But if you listened to "The Scarecrow" you can HEAR it has a story
