Ayreon - Into the Black Hole (Universe) LYRICS IN SUBS 

I have the same feeling it was sooo great!!!

I feel the exact same way, I wasn't too impressed by Tommy-era Kamelot because he (and they) were trying and failing to be Khan, then I listened to him in Ayreon and was blown away, he's a fantastic singer when he's not constrained by standing in the shadow of arguably the greatest male metal vocalist in history. I also like him in Seventh Wonder, but he's become my favorite male Ayreon guest vocalist, The Theory of Everything especially was a masterpiece.

Even the freakin back-vocals are done by world-class singers. If they had featured any more talent on that stage, it would have reached critical mass and collapsed into a black hole.

This song is an absolute masterpiece

Exactly so

Absolutely right

Don't forget the backing singers either.

This song is sung by 3 of the top 5 vocalists of all time (Bruce Dickinson, Damien Wilson, Tommy Karevik), now all we need is a James Labrie and Michael Kiske version.

Yeah, those are legitimately some of the very best singers in the world, on their own. But here the backing vocals require such ridiculous talent and technique to be able to pull it off that even the best lead singers might not be enough. Marcela Bovio in particular is a world-class professional in her ability to modulate and adapt her own sound to complement whoever she is singing with. That's a level of talent even more rare than some world-class lead singer's. I don't think that Anneke, Maggy or even Floor could have been able to pull off the back-vocals on this show; they're outstanding Leads but don't quite have the level of adaptability and vocal resourcefulness to adaptively harmonize with _all_ the vastly different talents on that stage.

@@Gabdube - Yes, you can hear Marcela high above everyone else, stong as F***! I especially like the big finale of "Eye of Ra" when the whole cast comes out on stage,.and you can hear her pumping out the incredibly high notes above everyone else.

I still think that the high notes in the Eye of Ra are sung by Michael Mills.

@@ace-dn7x If you watch the video you will see that it is not Mills, since he is singing in a very much more relaxed way.

ah, come on - the best song is clearly Sixth Extinction, Fifth Extinction, Age of Shadows, Garden of Emotions, Computer Eyes, The Banishment, The Dream Dissolves, Dawn of a Million Souls, Condemned to Liv- ...wait

U can take a break with Star One...It's also from Arjen, more metally compared to Ayreon All tracks are based on classic scifi movies, Matrix, Blade runner etc

That is exactly where I ended up now. Ayreon all the time

I was so young when i first heard it i didnt realize Bruce sung on the track until recently! So badass

Bruce y Tommy son los mejores cantantes . Los dos sorprenden

Have you heard Tiara yet?

@@rivlesbeware I don't think so. Is this one of his songs?

@@felipperodrigues8448 it's the latest Seventh wonder album

@@rivlesbeware I see bro . Now I remembered that they released It , but I didn't listen to It yet. Thx for reminding me my friend !!!!☺

@@felipperodrigues8448 please do

these girls break up in the backing, they’re three amazing, I love them!

@@GeraldoNunes91 Siiiiii Geraldo! 🤟

I was just looking for someone to comment on this amazing solo! He makes it seem so effortless.

Ele entrou no Kamelot em 2012, ai depende de quão antigo é o clipe que vc tá falando rs antes era o Roy Khan

@@clarissasabinomarconi5563 Nesse caso eu me confundi kkkk, a música em questão era a March Of Mephisto, aquela com o Shagrath do Dimmu Borgir. Bem que o cara parecia meio diferente mesmo kkk

Kamelot - Flight Of Icarus (Iron Maiden Cover), sadly not similar, Iron Maiden by itself is closer

@@ArvoR its not roy or Tommy though :(

Sadly... with Stream of Passion the same. Bruce version always will be the best so far

Preifro a voz mais limpa do Damian ^^

Hilarious

Better than Bruce...

Bruce owns this song… this version is quite cool though

Damian?

@@Kranon yes, Damian Wilson

Then listen to Damian's version from 2003 - problem solved.

Adaptation to getting more songs into the concert, perhaps? It's not the 1970s when bands would instead stretch a 6-minute song into 20-30 minutes with a lot of improv and solos... (See: Ritchie Blackmore.)

Who is talking about 20-30 minute songs and improvisations? They literally cut the best part of the song for a live show - the monster riff, 10 seconds before it began. They could have easily cut the song at some point during or after the riff as it goes on for a bit too long and the song after that is just filler. Awesome filler, but it's just repeating itself.

The monster riff and one of the best chorus of Ayreon, that's not filler! But maybe without Bruce it is. I can't imagine that part with other...

Tenés el link de esas entrevistas? No encuentro nada en Google

@@ByThorAndTheSnowDog que entrevistas? No entiendo, sorry.

Bruce is a talented human being. Tommy is a god...

Agreed

He doesn't like performing much, because he doesn't like attention and hates to practice. That said, he is in Amazing Flight in Space from the same concert, playing guitar and singing.

What a shame !

From what I understand Arjen has heavy social anxiety and lives somewhat reclusely

Hell no!!!

If you can't enjoy singers without comparing them to others, than you just don't belong here...

In this performance, at least

I'm with OP on this one. Tommy Karevik is great, but he is nowhere near the feeling Bruce Dickinson imprinted on this song. Also... it's different vocalists performing the same song. It stands to reason that they be compared. AND if one likes Ayreon -or anything, for that matter- who the fuck are you to tell anyone where they belong?

Overrated? Guy...

You can’t even spell his name right, never mind judge his voice!

Absolutely overrated… but seems like hes one of arjen’s fetish singers… 🙄

@@irenemcgrath7739 , like i said, overrated. His name is not important
