Ayreon actually was one of my first prog bands. I discovered many new bands looking up the many singers featured on this album.

As a musician I can tell that Arjen has an old soul, and that he needs the connection to soul that proximity provides. I can tell that this is the reason he gets the best out of his people, and needs to be with them. I would love to be able to be there and play and sing, if even for a small part... Nothing for me to gain but just to share making music from the heart with a kindred spirit!

LOL omfg "I'm a fish... fuck it"

I can watch stuff like this the whole day.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting interview. I think Arjen is one of the biggest musical geniuses in the rock/metal genre of our time. It's ridiculous how many instruments he can play by himself and what a great sense for melodies he has. Since I first found out about his work in the early 90s I have bought every single of his albums. And while of most of the other acts I'm listening to, I tend to get sick of it after listening to it too many times, I can listen to his songs all day long

5:40 "It's six Hansi Kursch's" Jesus christ, Arjen! You're a madman! It's already widely known that Hansi single-handedly caused Hurricane Katrina back in 2005; don't you realize that six Hansi Kursch's will just destory the entire southeast? ...actually, that's a brilliant idea. Go, Hansi, Go!

I always thought the Forever were humanoid, then there's Bob Catley declaring "I'M A FISH!" in this electric castle! Better make that line my ringtone . . .

God, Daniel's voice is so freaking awesome.

I love the bloopers at the end. "Now's the time to rise up from a hell.... ah, bollocks". xD

Those a capella vocals sound awesome, especially with all the harmonies.

Arjen: i was small once.

Arjen's music is irresistible

Sidenote: Bob Catley rocks out beside Tobias Sammet. And the Fifith Extinction is my favorite song of Ayreon.

9.20: Okay, now I'm gonna add the drums...

I'm a FISH!!!!! Fuck it!!! That part was so funny!!

i love this sone and i never thought it was diffrent singers

The truth behind Unnatural Selection has been finally revealed, now I like that song even more. =)

SO GREAT!!!

this man is a real god

Mmm, great to get this voyage into your world Arjen! Having all these nordic singers on your albums, maybe you would like a swedish bassplayer someday ;) And of course I would like to attend the "Arjen School of Studiowork" :))

fantastic

wow that was great.

Bob Catley : "YES, I AM A FISH" looooooooooool

8.59 the bass synth part he was talking about xD

Is there more of this?

what kind of rokit monitor is that at 3:28?

Can you please add a list of the singers and their related bands that Arjen lists off?

I'll never hear that song the same again! #imafish #fuckit!

I laughed so hard at the "I'm a fish! Fuck it!"

@hellraiser7974 You are wrong. It´s actually the other way around.

which program is he using? please someone tell me.

Fish aliens!? I never knew that xD I just thought they looked like us.

thank you astraios. seriously- thats foolish to say lande is overrated. listen to his work on beyond twilight.. preferably the track Shadowland.

lol so many instruments

I would like to listen to the song just made of the voices, without any instrument in it.

"I'm a fish! Fcuk it!!!" lol, Golden.

now's the time to rise up from our hell..bollocks....lol
