Yes, that is Irene Jansen. I think the other 2 backing singers are Lisette van den Berg and Marcela Bovia. You got Mike Mills, and Tommy Karevic (Kamelot), the other guy is Blind Guardian's Hansi Kursch , and the woman is Maggy Luyten, and of course Floor. Troy wasn't there, although Marko was on a couple other songs. P.S. I've seen 'I concur' on several other channels. I crack up every time.

You're absolutely spot on! Tuomas Holopainen and Arjen Lucassen are the top notch composers of our time. They call Tuomas the Metal Mozart, but I'm trying to get everyone call Arjen the Prog Rock Pagainini (or Beethoven, I'm not sure yet)

@chadbennett7873 2 жыл бұрын

With this composition, I think we ought to call him the "Metal Gilbert Sullivan" - see what I did there, I took out the "and" and made it a single name? You are absolutely right though, Peter ... I agree that they are the greatest composers of my lifetime.

saw a recent SM post of the Jansen sisters. Irene has lost weight, and they look even more alike. if you remember the school reunion show with their parents backstage. they look like their mom, and get their height from their dad. Arjen is The Man. props to him and Joost for putting these shows on. amazing job from everyone involved. from 2017, so months old baby Freya is probably chillin backstage. Queen of the Workaholics.

@roykliffen9674 Жыл бұрын

Arjen has worked with the likes of Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson (among others) on keyboards, that's a pretty solid prog-rock base. In fact, the guest list of musicians he worked with is pretty impressive. I'm by no means a rock aficionado able to tell which musician played in which band in which genre, but seeing the list there are enough names I recognised to be impressed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ayreon_guest_musicians

@@TheWyldesidewithEricClark Basically all of the instrumentalists Arjen ever uses are fellow Dutchmen. Probably cause the metal music scene is small and they all know each other. And it's easy for them to hop into a car and drive relatively small distances to come together and practice together. Also they can talk in their native tongue together. Netherlands is a small country. To give some perspective ... you can fit the entire country of The Netherlands 17 times in the state of Texas!!! Ed Warby on drums, Joost van den Broek on keyboard/Hammond, Marcel Coenen on guitar, Johan van Stratum on bass.

( based on the movie stargate ) The other live concert that came after The electric castle and other tales. well that is a full album with a special ancore of a few side projects . and features some older legends as well. Including Fish ( marillion ) , Thijs van Leer ( Focus) and many others. A concert you realy want to enjoy from start to finish .

I KNEW you'd love this one! I was curious why you hadn't reacted to it sooner, but no matter. Your analysis was spot on as to the sound - definitely prog rock at its finest! One minor point though - you didn't mention Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in the "pantheon" of prog rock greats. I don't know about you, but that keyboard/synth sound and style to me definitely smacked of ELP, *especially* the Brain Salad Surgery album, and most particularly Karn Evil 9. When I heard this piece (theme particularly) my mind immediately went to KE9, especially the third impression.

Ayreon Universe: River of Time (Hansi & Marko), & Magnetism (Tommy, Anneke, & Marko) Ayreon Trasitus: Get Out! Now! (Let's call it the Dee Snider Irony vid), & Hopelessly Slipping Away (I can't put my finger on why but I get Grace Slick vibes from Cammie on this one). Also sometime you should check out Hansi & Blind Guardian @ Wacken 2016 The Bard's Song & Valhalla (Both songs in one vid about 13 min., crowd participation anyone) I don't think they care, but I believe the Dutch normally pronounce the e at the end of a name as an ah . So It is closer to Eye-rain-ah Jansen (Yawnsen) & Sea-moan-ah Simons.
