Metal Opera. I mean, it makes sense, right? After a year of teaching me aspects of metal I never would have before, Avantasia makes its way into my queue. What better way to experience such a collaboration with such an amazing performance by some pretty exceptional singers!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Avantasia for the first time, performing "The Scarecrow” (The Flying Opera) Live at Wacken, 2008.

I saw Tobias Sammet with Edguy back in 1998. A quite small venue and I've had a few beers, so in between two songs I tried to si g one of his high notes and Tobias asked the audience "who strangled the cat?". True story.

@barryfilter2364 3 года назад

I have not seen a performance by Tobias Sammet where he was not smiling while on stage. He enjoys being on stage so much and as a audience you will see and feel it. He is one of the best front-man/performer you can enjoy seeing life.

@Deimos174 3 года назад

"He sounds like he has a smile inside." This is probably the best description of Tobi i've ever heard. Everytime i saw him live it was a blast. Him joking around with Eric Martin between songs was one of the funniest things i have ever seen at a live show. He is the "King of Fools".

@MisfitNightmare 3 года назад

I guess that is kinda his stage persona and he is much calmer off stage, like he actually said in one of the interviews, he is more of a introvert. But yesss, i live for Tobi talking "bullshit" on stage.

@ilPoliHansen 3 года назад

Indeed this perfectly describes Tobi. Still remember first time I meet him for the Vain Glory Opera tour... and he has never changed.

@lollokopter11 3 года назад

I've seen him three times on stage, once with Edguy, twice with Avantasia. God that man can talk on stage 😂 He's a great showman for sure, and I think that's a competence some musicians sadly lack

@thesoundofwhitenoise2122 Год назад

I don't think any other band could have written a song like Lavatory Love Machine other than Edguy. Okay, maybe Primus, the Butthole Surfers or Mr Bungle, those bands are on the very weird side as well. But there are very few bands with the amount of humour and weirdness as Edguy.

@IkmelAAA 3 года назад

As a vocalist, the first Avantasia song you should react to is The Seven Angels which is also one of their greatest songs. How people are not recommending it is beyond me.

Jorn's voice is OMFG

@lythene2083 3 года назад

Gonna nerd out a bit, apologies. The Flying Opera is the name of their live show/album; so called because their first two albums are titled The Metal Opera, Part 1& 2. Toby wrote albums for Avantasia in groups. The Scarecrow is the titular track of another album from a separate trilogy than the first (The Wicked Trilogy) So this song might not represent the Opera moniker as well as tracks from those albums, though I think it's more about it being a story than the musical style. I don't want to be a downer or anything either, but compared to Toby from a few years earlier, he seems to be having trouble. His voice changed dramatically after this tour, though he's gotten it back finally. Moonglow by Avantasia has him back in fine form, as well as featuring singers you're quite fond of. Hansi, and Geoff Tate make appearances, Jorn again, and more. Ravenchild, which I've seen recommended a lot is from that album. I definitely second that recommendation, or perhaps The Asylum by Edguy to see Toby at his finest. And to answer a little question from your video, the female vocalist is Amanda Sommerville, though she's not featured in this track.

@mordirit8727 3 года назад

Tobias doesn't sing in the healthiest way anyway, even in this live album you can see he's overexerting himself, he said a few months ago in Instagram that the pandemic was a blessing for his voice because he could finally rest out of stage

@NewtzT-V Год назад

The part of Jorn the vocalist adding distortion is very good observation. He's playing the part of "Mephistopheles" Or a demon, at first speaking very seductively to our main protagonist, the scarecrow [tobias, the other vocalist], and over time, revealing his true nature and intentions.

@Fazz25 3 года назад

Jorn is by far one of the most underrated vocalists out there! A sheer testament to his voice is that he was chosen as one of the singers to play with Heaven & Hell in Hyde park rather than cancel the gig after Dio died. Anything by him is just fantastic! Lucifer or Promised Land with Avantasia. Sail On or Spirit Never Dies with Masterplan. Whitesnake Medley on his Solo things. Hell even The Battle or anything else from his Allen-Lande colaboration.

@Neilbear5820 3 года назад

Call them what they really are.................BLACK SABBATH.

@serban031 3 года назад

I would really say he’s not underrated at all. He’s worked in a lot of places with a lot of artists, and the fact that he was chosen to sing Dio’s spot at Heaven and Hell is quite the point that he is a monolith of rock and metal. Hell, he brought to life Pentakill in a way that no one else really could have, allowing Riot Games to actually put out a good metal/rock sound for that.

Fun fact : Avantasia and Ayreon were pitted as "rivals" as both released albums at the same time. But in true metal fashion, both Arjen and Tobias have had each other guest on their albums. There is no rivalry. Hopefully you remember Tobias' role as the captain from Ayreon's The Day That the World Breaks Down.

@steveturner1815 3 года назад

Yeah I totally agree. Both guys running those projects are MASSIVE talents and create very different styles of music. I am sure they are big fans of each other.

@applicativejones 3 года назад

"Wall of sound" is a good description of Avantasia in general. It's a project about being as big as possible. As far as "opera" - there's a convention in prog rock/metal that a concept album has a single through story, and an opera adds to that a different singer for each character in the story. So something like Operation: Mindcrime is a concept album, but not an opera. Dr. X and Nicki are both performed by Geoff Tate. Avantasia, on the other hand, brings in ridiculous numbers of vocalists so that every character does get their own vocalist. Their song The Seven Angels is probably the most incredible example of this, and well worth your time.

@CatspawAdventures 3 года назад

Tobias is amazing, so glad I had the opportunity to be at Wacken Open Air 2008! Usually when they do a regular gig, they don’t have a support band before and the gig lasts about THREE HOURS without breaks. Another fascinating thing about Tobias is, that even towards the end of these three hours he still has enough power to jump across the stage like a crazy person and sing at the same time. I really miss to go to those concerts… hopefully we can soon go to gigs like that again… life without gigs is just so dull…

That line by Tobias "Do I really have a choice?!?!? NO, NO, NOOOO" is WAAAY better on this live than on studio album, his voice warmed a lot during the song and got better from the beginning. I have no words for Jorn, I love him since the super project Ark back in early 2000's, then Masterplan and so on. His voice is so wild and rough like the latest Russell Allen and you can find him in some Ayreon rock operas like "01011001". Strange fact: I used this song when my last girlfriend dumped me and came back begging 6 months later, I invited her to listen to this song and focus to the same line "One day she'll wonder why she had to let you disappear" after I gently refused to come back together.

Well done, bravo Elizabeth! As the one who planted the Avantasia seed in your requests, thank you for entering the orchard! I do hope you get a chance to hear more of them, especially "Let the storm descend upon you" and his duet with Geoff Tate "Alchemy" one day soon, both of which I recommended in the initial Avantasia request! Cheers Elizabeth, well done!

Came back just to watch your reaction to Tobi's high note again. Such a great singer and composer, he just puts a smile on my face. Really hope you react to more Avantasia.

My two cents on the "How is this opera?" debate. Two things: characters with a plot (which is rare in pop music) and scale. Both length of songs (often rolling several songs into one) but also emotional scale. Much of opera is aspirational rather than relatable, experiencing emotions far more intense than normal human experience (going literally mad from love or revenge, etc) and some.of that creeps in here as well. I'd love your take on Andrea Bocelli, especially why he's so divisive among pro opera folk.

I've loved this song for a long time, seeing your reaction made my day. You are a joy to listen to. Keep it up!

@kristiankrastanov5995 3 года назад

Opera is used in the sense that many singers participate in the project and each portrays a character in the story of the album. Avantasia didn't invent the concept of rock opera, maybe metal opera tho, not sure.

You have to check out "THE SEVEN ANGELS". It is probably the most complete song by them in my opinion. It's like a real Opera play. Different sections, parts, voices and rhythms in the song. Just PERFECT!

One of my favourite things about the instrumentals in this song (not really true of the live version) is how early the guitar solo actually starts after the "freeze", but there's so much else going on you don't notice for ages, until it naturally becomes the most "interesting" thing left to listen to. In the studio album the guitar actually starts waaaay back at what I always call "the Unreal Tournament bit".

@AlfredoMazzinghi 3 года назад

Ohhh YES!!! Avantasia! Would love to see your analysis of Rhapsody of Fire as well!

The lady you went "Hey" at was Amanda Somerville - one of the best female metal vocalists. She's actually a vocal coach for some of the more well known female metal singers. She does backing vocals mainly for Avantasia (although she sings lead sometimes) but her own projects like Kiske/Somerville and Exit Eden will give you some examples of her abilities!! Try Total Eclipse of the Heart from Exit Eden or If I Had A Wish by Kiske/Somerville. Also, definitely react to Sign of the Cross/Seven Angels by Avantasia (live) as it has about 8 amazing singers onstage at once!

Wife and I travelled all the way from Western Australia to Wacken in 2008 just to hear that song! It was breathtaking then.......and still is today! Wow!

@ThiagoPostigo Год назад

Thanks for all. Finally, someone thats understands me, thank you so very much. I'd loved your other video, about Shaman with - RiP - Andre Matos, felt same. I'm brazilian, please, answer "Hello Brazil!" 😂 In this same show, Andre and Tobias sings "Inside", very very very beautiful, if you can watch them, it's highly recomended. Lord bless you.

@edguy24 3 года назад

I love this song! It helped get me through a very dark time in my life when I was younger. Tobias is Extremely Talented. I love his band Edguy as well. Sascha Paeth is the guitarist with the long hair, and he is also a producer and is an extremely talented musican in his own right.

@Discordian42 3 года назад

I think the topic of metal opera deserves its own attention. Tobias started this journey with the Edguy album „Vain Glory Opera“ („Out of Control“ with Hansi is incredible), followed by the two original Avantasia Metal Operas. Roughly in parallel there was also another cool metal opera project called „Aina“. I know reactions to live videos are more entertaining, but I would really like to see an in-depth deconstruction of an entire studio record. „The Seven Angels“ is epic live, but for me the studio version is yet on another level and more operatic.

Great reaction and analysis as always! Jorn is believed to be reincarnation of R.J. Dio... fun fact: on that night Tobias had cold, and a bit of soar throat, Yet created such amazing moments.
