Exclusive interview: Roy Khan about Conception, Kamelot and solo project 

What a nice man and a legendary vocalist. In fact, he's my favourite vocalist. Great interview

Just a great vocalist and human being

Legendary Roy

I simply love this man in the most puritanical of contexts. He's humble, genuine, and remarkably talented!

I'm impressed with your interview questions. Most people don't realize how difficult it is to conduct an interview without actually asking the same questions that others have asked. You were able to navigate your way really well, especially considering that the interview was in English, which is neither of your native languages. Job well done!

Been a fan of Roy since discovered Kamelot in 2003. Glad to learn more about him over the years, following his career. Grateful that he is indeed a reasonable and decent man. I hope he continues being healthy and is content with his own journey. He's just a sweet guy.

Roy, every performance by you sent chivers down my spine everytime i hear it. Hands down one of the top singers ever. Thank you .

And this is how you make an interview, thanks John! 👍

My favorite vocalist. The best! Brazilian fan here! :)

Great singing is like painting. Anyone can put colours down, and talented people can put them in the right places. But there's something special when someone knows how to use texture and intent in each stroke. Just a lot of love for you and what you've done and continue to do! My lifelong favourite

Fantastic interview. Glad to see Khan is happy and healthy. What a blessing it is to share this world with such a prodigiously talented musician and wonderful human being off the stage. I can't wait to see Conception live. Hope to see Roy on JBP's podcast one day! ;) PS: great shoutout to Adrienne Cowan from Seven Spires at the start there - they're a stupendously good band and they are criminally under-appreciated at the moment.

Roy and Morten from A-ha some of the best Rock -Pop singers in the world. Yeah

I miss him in kamelot (their new singer is good for sure but im a fan of khan in kamelot)

Great job dear John! Really interesting questions about many different issues, Roy seemed to enjoy talking with you and sharing thoughts about the way he sees things and the atmosphere was very nice as well. As if you were both in the same room and I was also there sitting in a cosy chair and listening…of course we thank Roy for his kind and down to earth way to talk and reply and his positive energy! Many greetings from Athens and thank you for this interview! It was a pleasure and a gift! Take care! Keep up the good work and God bless! Love you Roy❤️🙏🏻

Roy is a class act

Esse homem é a encarnação do talento! Ótima entrevista.

Metal world miss you so much Roy

Obrigado John por nos conceder essa entrevista com esse Lorde do Heavy Metal. Na verdade por acompanhar seu trabalho em outros mídias aqui no RU-vid, dos projetos do Roy, não existia melhor pessoa para conduzir esse bate-papo. E ter respostas de várias perguntas que sempre quis a ele fazer, e ter certezas também, sobre a ligação do ultimo trabalho dele com Kamelot e o primeiro com Conception ou até mesmo de um projeco solo. É muito bom ver o Roy de volta, ativo, e empolgado com uma série de coisas. Ele é o meu vocalista favorito e inspiração, mas uma vez obrigado! Ganhou um inscrito 🤘

For me, The Black Halo album is Khan incarnate.

got all the cd S from Conception .

This would have made a great guest for the Tarinani metallilaulajana series. But this is great to have too. Thanks!

G.O.A.T.

Excellent interview, thoughtful and well researched, without the ego or mic time of some other interviewers that I've seen. Congratulations and thank you.

Very interesting questions, well done!

Parabéns John , Obg pela entrevista vc nasceu denovo depois dessa entrevista, Roy Khan e sem duvida alguma uns dos Lords do Heavy Metal, um vocalista sensacional e uma figura respespeitavelmente icônica

Thanks for sharing. .... for All!

He is The Lord of metal 👑

Great interview! Thank you!

Que honra foi essa mano !

very friendly interview John,nice!!! 👍

Great Interview, North America tour

Khan is BASED i love 😘

🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💛

O melhor

Mr.kamelot

Great interview. It seems to me that a number of the new Conception songs are about his leaving Kamelot, time away from the music industry, and return to Conception, so interesting to hear him sort of confirm that. Nice to get some personal anecdotes and hear an update on the solo stuff too, looking forward to that. But oof, Jordan Petersen. :( I struggle to reconcile the religious stuff with Roy's work and lyrics. I think there must be a different cultural experience of religion and how it intersects with right-wing views in Norway compared to North America. Particularly listening to 'Of Raven and Pigs' - he refers to the "unlikely bond between raven and pigs" but it seems like a very obvious bond, a natural fit, to me. Anyway, John, I also really love your videos you've made to go with the Conception live recordings, great work!

What’s the musician/band he mentions being influenced by Roy before seven spires?

There is no other Roy when it comes to front men, stage presence and emotion and although Tommy is a good singer, he is no Roy. Now that conception is back together I say this..... kamelot who?

Why does he remind me of Anton Lavey??? love Roy snd no way am i saying hes a satanist

THE GOAT!!!
