FATES WARNING - ORPHAN GYPSY

[HerveGamerDude]

sounds like helloween vocally

[MurkyVids]

Metallica called, they want their uncomfortably long intro back.

[EnterTheTurmoil]

@MurkyVids they can drown in a pool of vomit because this album succeeds metallica in every way possible.

[MurkyVids]

@EnterTheTurmoil you say that like it's an accomplishment.

[anomalousclouds]

Haven't heard this song in years but was going through a lot of older metal tonight and thought of this album. I forgot how awesome the cover looks... and it sounds! Thanks for the upload, man. 

[rushfan2112100]

i saw fates warning open for dream theater was awesome except they didn't play alot of old stuff like this song.this is one of my fave fw songs

[Burn0ut0nline]

All i can say is I like it here. They leave me alone.

[hypersupermamado]

never heard of them , but they sound fucking good.

[DarkEyesofSorrow]

I have this on vinyl, damn I'm old

[neverlandfw]

@DarkEyesofSorrow

might be true, but you have a damn good taste in music mate

[Kolenschopper]

Prog uber metal is DEATH imo, rip!

[joshmattg]

anyone recommend any other bands that are like fates warning?

i enjoy bands like queensryche, crimson glory, screamer etc. any others?

[vindude1968]

@joshmattg For classic progressive metal you can't go wrong with Dream Theater. If you want to try some heavier prog melodic death metal check out Into Eternity - The Scattering of Ashes album is my favorite with the songs Severe Emotional Distress, Timeless Winter and A Past Beyond Memory. Also check out Scar Symmetry.

[joshmattg]

@vindude1968 na man after more oldschool bands like 80s-early 90s stuff, ive found shit loads of bands but just wondering if you know any other hidden gems out there that im yet to get my hands on, plus i use to listen to into eternity and scar symmetry all the time :)

[Evil1Prophet]

@vindude1968

Don't try Dream Thater, it has nothing to do with prog metal. Try Watchtower instead.

[tomcatha]

@joshmattg

there arent really any bands that sound like classic fates warning. The closest resemblance is classic USPM with bands such as manilla road and helstar.

[joshmattg]

@tomcatha hmm manilla road im not a fan of but helstar are brilliant, theyre 2008 album 'the king of hell' is great, ive found loads of bands that are kind of similar to fates warning, vocal-wise, if you want some il be happy enough to give you some names and you can give them a shot

[fireguye4]

@joshmattg also try stratovarius,helloween,edguy,p­agans mind. you wont be disappointed

[motleycrue24]

@joshmattg check out rex hunter they only released a ep with five songs but they sound alot like fates warning

[joshmattg]

@motleycrue24 lmao i know it sounds dull but i cnt find the band anywhere on the net, whats the ep called or is it called rex hunter?

[Thollto]

@joshmattg

Go to progarchives,com in Progressive Metal section...undreds of them

Some of my favorites..Circus Maximus, Haken, Anubis Gate, Threshold, Myrath, etc etc etc

[Schwarzromantik]

check out Psychotic Waltz - my favourite progressive metal band

[joshmattg]

@Schwarzromantik I will be sure to check them out my friend :)

[SpookyCabron]

@joshmattg . Great bands you mentioned! Those who are fans of Crimson Glory , Queensryche, Fates Warning will like ...

(band)Abraxas- (album)The Liaison

(band)Titan Force - (album)Winner/Loser

[surredurre]

@joshmattg

i recommend Psychotic Waltz if you like this

[TheGoldenPS1]

@joshmattg Hittman, Liege Lord, Riot, Sacred Oath, Attacker, Apollo Ra, OMEN, Savatage, Lizzy Borden, Vicious Rumors, Griffin, Titan Force, Steel Prophet, Sword, Cloven Hoof, Heavens Gate, Scanner, Mania, Manilla Road, Sanctuary. I assume you have already heard of Helloween ;)

[joshmattg]

@TheGoldenPS1 Haha thanks mate I've heard all those bands though :)

[JhWlo]

@joshmattg Psychotic Waltz?

[SonataFanatica]

I do understand why most people adore "Awaken The Guardian" that much but for me personally, "The Spectre Within" is the most awesome metal masterpiece ever! I like the whole atmosphere on this one better than on its successor. These songs never get boring, not a chance!

[joshmattg]

@SonataFanatica this is my fave album by them by far

[SonataFanatica]

@joshmattg Great taste, then! :)

[joshmattg]

@SonataFanatica yee man! another masterpiece album that is like this is symphony-x, check the album out 'the damnation game', absolutely outstanding musicians, russell allen is a fantastic vocalist too :)

[SonataFanatica]

@joshmattg I already got "The Damnation Game", "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy" and "Twilight In Olympus" (I didn't like the newer ones that much, though). And yes, you're right: Russell Allen is so amazing!

[Yiannis2112]

Yeah the start goes for about 1:45. However the things they play during this time could easily be enough for some other band's whole LP...haha

[Kolenschopper]

This album rox!!!! Even after more than 15 years!

[akkasoothy]

jeeez how long is the start of this song!?!! too epic

[vindude1968]

Akkasoothy, no such thing as "too epic". LOL! That's what made FW so unique. It's progressive metal. Long intros, multiple time signature changes and multiple melodies throughout. No commercial formulaic rules to follow in this style of music. Hopefully you liked the song as a whole. Keep It Metal \m/

[HyperfastMalmsteen]

GYPSY MALMSTEEN?..

[carrofalun]

Albumet skulle väl ha kommit ut för lääängesen.. Bolaget lovar stort men håller smått, Det är vad jag tror!!

[Ieronymous]

One of the best metal songs ever written ...thanks to John Arch...amazing vocalist..!!!

[PPCBEANZ]

great fucking metal 80s metal the best!!!!!

[deinonychusaw]

good song

[cuppajoe2006]

Thanks so much for posting this! I haven't heard this in SOOOOO long; I'm making the playlist right now!

[Broncell]

increible, este album es un hito¡

[removetube]

John Arch, Fates Warning, and the "Orphan Gypsy" What more could you want!

[joshmattg]

@removetube i dont think there is anymore anyone can want! this album is just genius, i shall be off to headbang now to the great john arch, see ya!

[removetube]

@joshmattg John Arch, Fates Warning and Old School Meatl Rules!!!

[joshmattg]

@removetube amen to that brother \m/

[EMKTTHL]

"Ophan Gypsy all I'll ever be

Magic for emotion I am free.

Ophan Gypsy all I want to be

Lift your chains from me."

One of the best choruses ever.

[EMKTTHL]

Come to think of it, 0:14-0:53 might be the greatest guitar solo I've ever heard. This really is among the best songs ever made.

[eclipseoneonone]

@EMKTTHL

One of my favorite too !!

[kwpower29]

Great album. Listen to this quite often.

[BigMetalMachine]

Awesome music
