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

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'

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

“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.

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..." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMp5a5dot8u7mac.html

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)

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): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z6mhlK-is9-qdH0.html Keeper of the Seven Keys. And it´s also quite recent (2017).

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. 👍👍👍

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

Michael Weikath made this beautyful song. Credits for him!

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

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

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

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

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

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 😊

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.

Kiske and Halford my 2 all time favourite vocalists.

Haunting song. Have always loved this. 😢

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”

what a lovely analysis! when you say: the way he's creating these vocal lines, I like that he's sort of clips them, they feel so abbreviated at the end of either a phrase or a sentence and so when he has moments of beautiful legato, you can sum it up in one sentence with two clauses: he is really really really a talented singer and he's the POWER METAL'S FATHER. YOU ROCK, THE VOCALYST!!! KEEP ON ROLLING!!!!

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

Thank you so much for reacting to my fav vocalist and to this amazing song...one of the best in the Helloween catalogue

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

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

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.

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

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,.

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

Michael Kiske, the german Geoff Tate! 😊

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.

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

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

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

the way you feel the music of is exactly what i try to explain to my parents when they ask ,, whay do you like that kind of music,,,but they´ll never understand , you´re awesome nice review of mr MICHAEL KISKE,, PLEASE DO THE SAME AT HIS CURRENT AGE 2023

I love that you comment on the "music" Love Helloween. They are all together again and better than ever

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

Great reaction Beautiful Vocalyst

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

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."

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.

Helloween is the greatest band ever. Period.

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

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

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

Saw them at donington monsters of rock in 88 bloody brilliant

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

I love Michael Kiske.He still perfrom e flat .After years

In the middle of a heartbeat 💓

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 KZfaq. 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.

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

Saw them in 1989 he’s a great singer Love that Kiske is back in Helloween

Michael Kiske is a monster!

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

They're great. My favorite singer.

One of my alltime greatest metal-ballads - so damn good!!🤘

There all kinds och rock and metal but this is what rock and metal is all about, in my opinion. Very good comments and instructions btw. This is their trademark.

kiske 80-23...still god of metal

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...

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

Oh my frick, I think I haven't heard this in 30 years or so!

02:04 You nailed it miss.

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...).

beautiful analysis! Mic was little more than 20 yrs old in this performance, so everithing is more than amzing 😲

Kiske is my favorite metal singer. I dont know, i just love his tone and phrasing. I have seen him live three times, two with Avantasia and the other one with Helloween and he was fantastic.

I just love to watch him on stage!

I think he is even better today

Michael kiske 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘

"Keeper of the 7 keys" from them is more amazing. Vocals are on another planet.

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

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMp5a5dot8u7mac.html And speaking of Michael and Andi singing together, this is a must see reaction video for you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKeGmKplsLmUeoE.html (their epic song Halloween from their United Alive tour)

As good as he is here, he's usually even better! You can tell from the beginning he's struggling with his voice a bit... but he's a powerhouse! And on album, forget about it, one of the best!

I saw Helloween open for Anthrax and Exodus in 1989. I've been a fan ever since.

kiske one of tehe best vocals the boss forever

That was live in 1992. Theres a rare live that goes even higher on the last chorus. You can react to his incredible performances and songs like longing,do i remember a life? and the key to the universe...all these are top of the top 🔝🔝🔝 along with others the most well known helloween. Listen to painted an amazing pop rock track 😎😁

Kiske God of rock

Hi,this intro is known as “heavy metal Enka” music in Japan. Japanese people feel like this tune is sounds like Enka , modern traditional Japanese pop music.

Great vid❤ 👍👍

Helloween is most beautiful what man can play on the electric guitar

Michael kiske from helloween, one of the best metal singer all times

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 want out, one of my fav songs

Un obra de arte

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

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

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

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

Kiske is the best voice in Metal IMO growing up with Dio, Halford, Dickinson, Stanley etc this guy is the best and still sounds the same today 🤘🏻

OMG!!! hell yeah!!!! check out their pumpkins unite live as well, it is amazing. the sound quality is really good and they play with 2 singers nowadays ;)

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jKeGmKplsLmUeoE.html
