I JUST WITNESSED A MASTERPIECE! Ayreon - The Day the World Breaks Down REACTION  

Wow... thanks for your kind words, Rosalie, much appreciated! You sure know what you're talking about. Glad you like the song and the musicians so much. Very proud of them :-) We even got you headbanging at the end, yeah! Hugs from Holland and please keep up the good work :-)

Yes! Finally getting around to some of my suggestions. :D Please enjoy this rabbithole. Ayreon is a genius.

Arjen is just a complete genius!! And he might just be the coolest guy on the planet. He and Tuomas Holopainen are on a different plane of life as far as composition. Every musician who plays with Arjen is world class, and each singer is cream of the crop of Metal, leading their own incredible band. You HAVE TO WATCH "Everybody Dies" live next. Arjen rarely does live performances, and when he does, he seldom appears on stage. Instead, he recruits an all-star band of geniuses, turns the reigns over to Joost van den Broek to arrange and play, and he just oversees and directs it. Everybody Dies is one of the most remarkable live performances of all time. All the great singers take their turns, and it's layer upon layer. BTW: it was cool to see you shocked by Floor. Arjen actually "discovered" Floor when she was sixteen, so this is where she got her start, and she performs with him consistently. This genius is a magnet for the best talent in the world and you can't go wrong with any song. Two "rabbit holes" that will change your life for the best: Nightwish and Ayreon. The deeper you go, the closer to get to Heaven.

It had been my Lifelong dream to see his projects live, and this year, i scored a ticket to next show in Sept 2023, So for my first time i will be leaving the US and flying to The Neatherlands to witness perfection. 16 Artists will be present for the show and i will be able to check off my number 1 on my bucket list. Every time i think about it, it almost tear up it means so much to me. So glad you were brought into the fold! Arjen is truly a genius!

Floor as biologist. there is a beetle named after her: 'Tmesisternus floorjansenae' (my first reaction with link to the picture was removed by youtube)

Oh my goodness!!! I am blown away. Must reattach my dropped jaw and wipe the drool off. Amazing project.

floor jansen is oke , cancer free , update

If the origin is Dutch it is much…..

The entire Album "The Source" is a masterpiece ! I can't praise it enough :)

Thumbs up ...... no doubt. Besides AYREON ... also explore his STAR ONE projects. Amazing music from an amazing (humble) guy. Are there musicians (singers & instrumentalists) who don't want to work with Arjen ? I DON'T THINK SO.

Yes, it's a masterpiece.

FYI:

When I first saw this I immediately searched for every singer featured here that I hadn't heard before and -oh my!!

One particular band I want to recommend to you out of the eleven main singers is Hansi Kürschs band Blind Guardian with one of the most insane crowd interactions ever:

I've been watching your Nightwish reactions.. and the epica one... and that you get to ayreon... oh! Arjen is such a genius... more NW and Ayreon please. Greetings from Buenos Aires....

You are absolutely right, this is epic. In fact, the whole live Universe’ concert is epic!

Yes, you witnessed, indeed! 😎👍

This whole album is an absolute masterpiece, definitely my favorite Ayreon album

Oh, this will be a treat for sure!

Best news for the weekend: Floor posted on friday that she's free of cancer! It hasn''t spread!
