Helloween LIVE! First-time reaction to Michael Kiske singing "A Tale That Wasn't Right" 

Michael Kiske is one of the best rock singers and he still sounds great today.

You have such a happy smile. I love it. And it’s so infectious

Great review thank you.Michael is one of my favourite singers,along with Ian Gillan.Thank you again 😀

And he's just gotten better...

In that time no one sings like his my idol since mey 14 years now im 44.... Helloween whith Michael kiske are the creaters and fathers off the power metal.... Today is the style off all havy metal most played whith more bands in the world..... Please listen this same music in rock in rio 2019.... Michael Kiske only loses is hair....😂

you should make react on keeper of the seven keys the live one on 2016 !!!!!!! absolutelly outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of Euro metal is based on classical music.

Michael Kiske, the Angel's Voice from Heaven!!! Saw him live the first time with Helloween back in 1987!!! He's still one of the greatest Metal Singer! Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany!

Greetings and Love from Germany. Helloween had a little reunion in 2017, performing as 'Helloween Pumkins United', with first vocalist and guitarist Kai Hansen & second singer Michael Kiske & current singer Andi Deres. They played at Wacken 2017 an amazing show thats worth to take a look. "How Many Tears" is a great song...also the songs "Halloween" and "Keeper of the seven keys"...stay safe, my dear..❤

"Keeper of the seven keys 1-2" were my favorite albums in 80'

This live was performed in 92 and is not the best live version of this song. Listen to live performances of this song in 87 and 89, which are currently on RU-vid. Even though it is just few year earlier than this performance, his vocal capability at high notes is very different. I guess he had aged quite a bit in few years around that time.

Glad you got to this very influential band. The song I recommend is long as heck, but it showcases the music style of the band, and you get to hear the other frontman Andi Deris (Kiske was gone for some time, but now he´s back, and there are two frontmen): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1CqaLqNyFDI.html Keeper of the Seven Keys. And it´s also quite recent (2017).

Helloween has had 3 different lead singers, and lots of bands out there would kill to have any of them. That being said... Michael Kiske has Geoff Tate (of Queensryche) level talent and range. So many great songs out there, and as others have said... They are touring with all their singers now. Hearing Kiske and Andy Deris sing together is a genuine treat. Its honestly a crime that more people don't listen and react to them! Thanks for this video!!

Here's the same song from Wacken 2018. Michael Kiske starts and Andi Deris joins for a duet. In Madrid (same tour) Michael introduced the song: "The next song is about 30 years old. When I recorded it I was something like 18 years with long, long hair. I always wanted to look like Elvis Presley but I ended up looking like Robert Halford..." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fdI847ReWis.html

Glad you finally get to hear Helloween. I've been a fan of them since the 80's.

This is a fine song, but it isnt what Helloween is known for. You should check out "keeper of the seven keys" to see what Helloween is all about. Luckly there are good and relatevely recent recordings from their first reunion tour,.

“Eagle fly free” and “I believe” and the “The Chance” are songs where this handsome fella shines a lot

this is one of the most unique voices in metal i believe. there is no other voice similar to that.

This is in my opinion the best singer and best fit in Helloween. A played both "Keeper"-albums over and over when they were released back in the eighties! (Vinyl of course)

This song and performance is a great entry to Helloween and Kiske. Next you should check out something from the Pumpkins United world tour. All living former members united. There are some great duets between Kiske and Andi Deris on songs that they've both performed separately with the band before

THE GREATEST GERMAN METAL SINGER EVER !!!!THE Hymn for whole Generation. Nerd Fan since their first EP !!!!

이 노래는 예전에 한국에서 인기가 아주 많았다 나 역시 가장 좋아하는 밴드가 Helloween 이며 항상 그들을 기다린다 😊

Michael Weikath made this beautyful song. Credits for him!

If you are a metalhead from Germany, you have to know 2 Bands, Blind Guardian and Helloween, no matter if you like them or not ;-) I do strongly recomment Keeper of the seven keys from Paris live from the Pumpkin united tour!

My favorite rock/metal singer ever, beautiful song the studio version is also very good glad someone reacted to this old great song from 1987

El hombre que canta igual o mejor con el paso de los años,grande kiske!

This was a great ballad by Helloween. I've never heard this version. Helloween are considered the grandfather's of Power metal, just in case you didn't know. - from an old metal head.

You look like, sister of Dr strange 😁

Michael Kiske is an excellent singer, but the studio version of this song underlines the beauty of the song itself, because the limits of Michael's voice are fine-tuned and mainly he is calm for 1 song, it is not a demanding concert, the voice is rested. I recommend the studio version to get a feel for this song. In my opinion, it really belongs in the TOP 5 world metal ballads. 🤘

Michael Kiske, the german Geoff Tate! 😊

Michael has something in his voice which makes him similar to Geoff Tate from Queensryche in his lower register

Another stellar video! I just love watching your smile and reactions. You have such delightful expressions!! More...more..MORE videos!! ! :-)

I love your reaction videos, you have a very likeable personality as well as a calming voice and great analysis. I would love to hear you react to two lesser requested performances from two powerhouse singers with insane vocal power, one of them is "Hiroshima Mon Amour" by Alcatrazz (sung by Graham Bonnet who has a ridiculously powerful voice) and the other one is Michael Bolton singing "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You", your analysis would be perfect for these two songs

Definitely “Eagle Fly Free,” “I Want Out,” “I’m Alive” are great examples of Michael Kiske’s vocal talents in Helloween, and “Future World” is a lot of fun at the top of his vocal range… and of course, the epic “Keeper of the Seven Keys”

It would be interesting to hear your take on Andi Deris (Kiske's replacement) singing the same song. He has a raspier voice, but his vibrato sounds less forced. Here's a good version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tbjrcv1kXE.html

Oh how much I loved them when I was 13. '88 they were among the bands that started my metal journey.

I am Greek and you are correct with the pronunciation as well as with the tempo of the intro. Also the high pitched guitar tone sounds a little bit like bouzouki, so there you go... Helloween is a band with great history and amazing songs. Worth checking them out. Love your reactions.

The Land Of New Hope. Listen how Kiske pulled that song one would shed tears. Great story between Timmo n Kiske about that song

Hello another great work. There is a kid with legend voice hope you will see this comment. ( Bayati Shiraz - Tacir Şahmalıoğlu first video on RU-vid

Haunting song. Have always loved this. 😢

Kiske and Halford my 2 all time favourite vocalists.

sorry, this isnt on topic but ive seen in your past vids for recommendations. i went thru your list of videos and didnt see janis joplin, i believe she would be worthy of your show., thank you. oh yeah, theres lots to choose from but a good live one would be her ball and chain cover.

Can we get some "Social Distortion" or maybe "Pokey LaFarge" please and thank you

Wait till you hear something like Halloween. Or Ride the Sky.

Thanks for this stuff! I heard this song for a first time as a boy in elementary school in the late 80's. It opened the door to music for me and I discovered that there is something more than mainstream like Radio Ga Ga or Money for nothing played on the radio or TV. At that time in Poland Metallica was already a cult band, but I was a kid, it was too hard to listen to. Helloween hit me like a thunderbolt. I borrowed the vinyl from a friend and listened to this track over and over again. It changed my approach to music. To hear your commentary on this song was a HUGE pleasure 😊

No need to apologise for stopping, rewinding etc 😊 Gives you a chance to analyse and say what you're thinking in that moment.

Thx for doing Helloween. I met Michael Kiske (much later, sans hair), when he was rehearsing in friends rehearsal space in Karlsruhe. What a loveable guy. And the voice... magnificient. 👍👍👍

I recommend the band Gamma Ray (Michael as lead singer) or the collaboration "Kiske and Sommerville"

This is a great song and a great version! That guitar solo starting at 1.07 is added in this version and wasn't there at the studio recording, but I think it's great.

Why nobody react to Jon Oliva abd Zach Stevens from Savatage?

Nice to see you covering more of the european metal scene!

Michael Kiske is a monster!

Keeper of the Seven Keys with both Kiske and Deris. Pure gem of superior singing from two top notch vocals.

Loved your reaction. I would encourage you to see something from Helloween from Waken or Pumpkins Reunited where all three singers take the stage. All Helloween singers are AMAZING, yet very different. It is a real treat to hear them together

Great song and reaction! I love the bit about "strong" - I've always had a devil of a time singing that word and having it sound right cus it's too easy to slip into nasal resonance. I've tried putting my lips a bit to darken it and help push it forward and that works but the way he handles it in this vid is great too.

Моя любимая песня. Мелодия просто потрясающая

Kiskes voice is awesome! Maybe next, Eagle Fly Free or Keeper Of The Seven Keys.

One song with Kiske often looked over is We got the Right. It is great to see Kiske's range, power and stamina

Next KEEPER OF THE 7 KEYS Live !!!!!

Michael Kiske is a beast. I believe he was like 19 years old here. Check him out now in his 50s and bald, and joined by his now band mate Andi Deris who is great in his own right: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fdI847ReWis.html And speaking of Michael and Andi singing together, this is a must see reaction video for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VAVeG4KS0JM.html (their epic song Halloween from their United Alive tour)

Kiske has some covers of Elvis, Love Letters, etc.

I was kind of wondering if maybe the intro was caused by a problem with a mike. After the first word he backed away from the mike and the guitar solo played while a roadie ran out and changed the mike. Got to love the roadies. That was the first thing I noticed in the video.

As everyone says, you have to look in to the pumpkins united live 😊 It's strange how they can sound even better 30 years later, and vocals are insane! Here's Halloween by Helloween ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VAVeG4KS0JM.html

I love Helloween! They have a lot of great songs. Thanks for sharing the reaction!

Oh Bethany, PLEASE do "Halloween" live from the Pumpkins United tour!!

You just listened to the, imo, greatest vocalist ever. Do yourself a favor and do a reaction to their studio version of Keeper of the Seven Keys, which, once again imo, the greatest vocal performance ever layed down for a song.

Michael Kiske es de los muy pocos que esta en la misma liga que Rob Halford... osea bendecidos vocalmente 🔥

Great band United tour Madrid Awesome Please don't forget Diana Navarro it is another style but incredible voice too the song cuplerias performed live in gala premios Ceres is absolutely incredible

I really enjoyed this video. I got to take a peek into Kiske's bag of tricks. And the reference of a full sound, is something worth keeping in mind when arranging... Also loved the little pause, it did create quite a bit of anticipation. Really an awesome and fun breakdown.

It's a shame that this band never got the airplay it should've been. First time hearing this song as well.

02:04 You nailed it miss.

apparently you like also 70s rock music like Rainbow....so, I recommand you in that kind of music an unmissible gem of the 70s with the same guitarist ( Ritchie Blackmore in his first group) Deep Purple ,and with Ian Gillan on vocals (one of the best singer, low voice for moments and the highest vocals that I know), a beautiful organ..too ...in. 'child in time' live 1970 TV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OorZcOzNcgE.html .....you can also do another Rainbow song in the same style of stargazer with another epic guitar solo and the beautiful voice of DIO 'gates of babylon' video live 1978 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qu8HiZepRWo.html ...2 long songs, ....the vibe of the 70s

elvis presley + bruce dickinson = Michael Kiske, uno de los mejores cantantes de la historia del Heavy Metal

You should react to 1987 live version of this song live in hell on wheels minneapolis. It's more epic! \m/ He is amazing singer! My personal favorite in metal. In my favorite genre - power metal!

Now it's time... It's finally time to present you the second best Vocalist of all time. His name is Ray Alder. Who was the main Vocalist of the Band Fates Warning. He was also on Vocals on some different side projects like : Engine, Redemption, Solo Works etc... Wanna make this experience again as you had have with Queensryche's Take hold of the Flame/Silent Lucidity? Or exactly the opposite? First the slow Song and THAN the speed Song? So I would like to recommending Fates Warning - The Eleventh Hour and next Fates Warning's Ballard WISH. Trust me. It's exactly the same experience you made with Queensryche! Greatest Vocalist of all time (in my humble opinion) ? 1.) Geoff Tate (Queensryche) 2.) Ray Alder (Fates Warning etc.) 3.) Eric Adams (Manowar) 4.) Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) 5.) Michael Kiske (Helloween) Criteria: Talent, well trained, Lyrics AND Vocals, Live Performance, unique voice, Musicianship etc...

An interesting choice for a first reaction to Helloween. I enjoyed it! I would highly recommend that you check out "How Many Tears" from their Pumpkins United tour. Why? Because you'll get to experience all three of the vocalists they have had over the years, and also some amazing high notes from Michael Kiske, almost 40 years into his career. And I feel that Andi Deris, who replaced him in the band is a highly underrated vocalist. Other, more common choices to react to are "Halloween" (just make sure you don't do the edited official video for the song) and "Keeper of the Seven Keys." Helloween is pretty much responsible for power metal becoming what it is, and I think Michael Kiske belongs up there with the metal greats (Dio, Dickinson, Halford, etc...).

Maybe one of the most beautiful rock ballands of all time. Incredible reaction my lady for Helloween. you must listen many other songs from them such as " I want out, Dr.Stein ,Number one" etc Greetings from Greece (Syrtaki ,souvlaki, mousaka and Greek salad)

I love how you look emotionally moved by the music.thats how I feel all the time with heavy metal.great review.

Do I remember a life

Kiske and Hansen also have another band...Unisonic. The song Exceptional from live at Wacken in 2016 is a MUST view. Kiske's range is still like this and he's in his 50s!

Hello from RF. Nice smile. Incredible!!! I'm just inloved... I did not meet such a beautiful person. Really. I won't have no sleep tonight...

try to see MOYUN,,(hotel california,,,,God playing,,acdc thunder struck,,),,😊,,,

Michael Kiske's musical inspirations (this could be the explanation for "Yesterday") ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VnXB1HXD9ws.html

Just FYI: Sirtaki is actually a relatively recent invention in the grand scheme of Greek traditions. While the dance incorporates elements of traditional Greek dances like the syrtos and hasapiko, the specific choreography and the famous music by Mikis Theodorakis were created specifically for the 1964 film "Zorba the Greek."

Kiske tiene la mejor voz del mundo. Fin.

The most spectacular thing about Michael is how little his voice has aged

I recommend: Chaka w/ Rufus, “Tell Me Something Good”, written by Stevie Wonder, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cm_cFzVAoo8.html

I rank them right up there with Maiden, Eagle Fly Free studio version will change your life. RIP Ingo.

Also back then, they didn't speak English. Except Ingo. Amazing.

Kiske covers "Blue suede shoes" it's on a bonus track/single b-side on Helloween's "Pink bubbles go ape" album.

Please. I dont know speaking english. Translate português _n english. Muita pausa e comentários durante a música. Deixe a música tocar inteira, e depois faça seus comentários. Alguns canais do gênero proce dem assim. É muito melhor.

I suggest 'Do I Remember A Life' and a hundred other songs. 'Keeper Of The Seven Keys', 'Eagle Fly Free', 'Land Of New Hope',

He has trained offcourse. But he got that talent we miss. I think he is Around 26 here. First album when he was 18. Try Iron maiden hellowed be thy name from 82. Thanks. Judas priest 81-82 victim of changes

This is an interesting choice to start with Helloween. The most impressive songs by this legendary german Power Metal band might be "Keeper of the seven keys" (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3YRK6GF_mGM.html) or "Halloween" :Ö(ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dtPs1QrMI1I.html), both more than 13 minutes long.

While we're on the subject of one of the grandfathers of power metal, how about the other? Listen to Blind Guardian. Perhaps The Bard's Song/ Valhalla ore Mirror Mirror.

Por dios que bella eres!!! Nice review!! regards from Chile!!! I would love for you to listen and do an analysis of Mon Laferte and his song "Tu Falta de Querer"

Early 20s i think.. now watched his 50s performance..United alive Keeper of the 7 keys..

Michael he has a tenor type voice and possesses an almost 4 octave vocal range, as he is capable of reaching extremely high notes (A5) and low baritone notes (E2) as well

Hi. If you haven´t, check out their performance "The Keeper of the Seven Keys" live from Madrid. 2017 I think.

I love Kiske's voice. But I'll be stoned if I say I like Andy Deris' version better. This clip with Michael doesn't show his real skills. Of course I can understand a vocal coach preferring a live version, but on Helloween the early live performances and videos aren't great in terms of audio and video quality. I therefore recommend the album versions for the early phase.
