This is one song I wanted you to hear the most, and now you have! One of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. Edguy and Tobias Sammet at their absolute peak, and as a huge Iron Maiden-fan, it caught my attention back in 2004 - as did the whole Hellfire Club album. Edguy has lots of hype in the 2000s, and should've taken off in a bigger scale than they did, sadly. "The Piper Never Dies" is just one of those special songs that I never tire off. It has so much emotion and energy and up til now, at age 23, it still resonates with me. I won't come with more suggestions, as I feel like I've gotten everything I could ever ask for in this reaction. Im just gonna enjoy the ride along with you from now on. Thank you so much for this reaction Sistah :)

Michael!! Hi, my looove!! ^_^/// I thank you ssooo very much for this beautiful song, baby! It makes me so happy! I listen to this song now, over and over, lol! And Wolf says he can't get the chorus out of his head xDD I am so happy that he likes this song, because I think it is so wonderful! He is not into Power Metal, as I am; Iron Maiden, is the only exception, for him. Although, they are considered "New Wave of British Metal," they are still PM, right? I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction! That makes me so happy, but more importantly... I am so glad I was not disappointed; although, I did not doubt it ;) (((hugs))) ♥

@@HalfLifeSistah Haha, I always imagined that Edguy could turn Wolf around when it came to power metal, as they have so much Maiden in them. In general I don't think Iron Maiden are power metal. They came before in the British new wave and are usually classified as Heavy Metal. But power metal is a subgenre to heavy metal, so it's all interconnected 😅 Maiden have many similarities to the power-genre, as they inspired the world's first power metal band, Helloween, in 1985 and then Edguy afterwards in the 90s. Following your channel from the beginning, and watching your reaction to both Iron Maiden & King Diamond, I pretty much new you would love this song, as I had the same journey, by discovering those legends, and then getting straight into Edguy. There is a huge catalogue of Edguy for you in the future as well. The album "Mandrake" from 2001, and of course "Hellfire Club" itself, which is their crowning piece. And btw, there is a great live versions of Piper also. From their biggest concert ever, 10.000 people in Sao Paolo: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g52GtLGAiry7gbg.html Looking forward to seeing more of you and Wolf as well 😁

Good afternoon gorgeous! Great vocals on this song! Love it! Hope you are doing great luv ya as always! My best to you! Take good care!

Epica ft. Floor Jansen - Terra Sancta!

Edguy are a fantastic and very talented band. Vain glory opera is a great album. Also check out the singer's other project Avantasia. They're unreal!!

Probably the best song from Edguy. That end is so Rock n' Roll. Nice choice. Cheers!

I always love your reactions Avantasia - The Scarecrow live at Wacken has to be next. It's a Projekt of Tobias Sammet. I think yo'l like it. Greetings from germany

OMG...I cannot stop listening to this song now! I'd never heard it (or anything by Edguy) before now. I'd definitely consider checking out The Scarecrow, Sign of the Cross, and The Tower by Avantasia, the other band headed by Tobais Sammet. Thanks for reacting to this, I never would've heard this song otherwise~! ^^ \m/

We´ve got several german Power Metal bands, which you probably would enjoy very much, Edguy being one of them. Tobias is a musician genius, but there are people who hate his voice and behaviour (he´s talking very much at gigs and often pulls more or less funny jokes) and often these people hate the music because they don´t like the guy, which is kinda stupid. But he´s a trooper, a few years back he fell off the stage at a festival, broke his nose, got treated backstage and after that went back on stage and completed the concert. And Tobias is a Hessian like me, although from a different region, so I have to support the band (unless it is terrible stuff). :D His side project Avantasia is also very superb, a real supergroup with many guest stars, who are his own heros. They just released a new album and started a tour (or shortly will start), I´ve still got to get my hands on it and sadly I´ll miss the concerts (3 hour gigs). But I´ve seen them a couple times, they are amazing live performers, all veterans of several decades. The Avantasia albums are concept albums, always 2 or 3 CDs for one cycle. The first two are really the named Metal Opera, the newer albums are power metal and also hard rock. And many long songs, these are often running 7,8 or 15 minutes. :D Avantasia - The Scarecrow and Lucifer (with Jorn Lande), Master of the Pedulum (with Marco from Nightwish) are great. And for the more epic side: Avantasia - Stargazers, Sign of the Cross, The Seven Angels, The Wicked Symphony, Let the Storm Descend Upon You. Tobias has written a whole story for the Metal Opera, which is in the booklet and all songs have lines that are sung by a character of the story, it´s all belonging together. You should also check out further stuff from Helloween (old and new songs), Gamma Ray and Blind Guardian, their members also did work for Avantasia (big german power metal family). One of my alltime favourites is the "Nightfall in Middle-Earth"-LP by Blind Guardian, songs and spoken scenes from Tolkiens Silmarillion. Blind Guardian have worked stuff from Tolkien or Herbert (Dune) into several songs an many albums. For goosebumps - live versions of "The Bard´s Song (In the Forest)" and "Valhalla". If you like unusual stuff there are also the german metal a capella band Van Canto and the finnish band Apocalyptica (Cello metal?). Both bands have their own songs, but they also did cover metal songs like Metallica "Master of Puppets". And last but not least two recommendations from Finnland: Ensiferum (Viking Metal, well Power Folk Metal with mostly rough vocals) and Sonata Arctica (Power Metal, but they also have progressive elements). Oh my, sorry for the long novel. But I really like your videos and reactions to the music.

Hey Sistah! I highly recommend Battle Beast for you, they have an awesome female singer who sings in a similar style to this guy.

Hail, Sistah :))) your new idea of a "solo" format is actually very cool, as it gives you a free hand to explore and branch out on your Metal journey when you feel the urge, but your ingenious and knowledgeable WolfKain is not at hand to guide! The "roulette" can sure spit out some surprising suggestions, but the more beauty in it - at least you will rest assured the music you're hearing means a whole lot to some human being. :)) I will sure follow with gladness, was kinda missing more of your appearances, truth be told! EDGUY are real free spirits of German metal, cycling through Power and Heavy, and, later on, tongue-in-cheek Hard rock as they go, but always remaining likeable, goofy, and excellent composers! Tobias Sammet, with his main band, but especially the "Metal Opera" project AVANTASIA, incorporating dozens of best-known Metal musicians of the present day, has shown he got the formula for Metal hit songs just right. :) You might want to check out an AVANTASIA epic called "The Seven Angels" for a similar feel like "The Piper", but featuring the Who's Who of Power metal singers! Then - you can discover their own bands (if you have not thus far), it's the beauty of these grand projects. :)) And yea, Tobias has been favorably compared to Bruce Dickinson, the Air Raid Siren himself, which would have made it hard for you couple of MAIDEN fans not to like this! Thanks for this brilliant reaction, more so - for a song (and band) that is so far overlooked by channels! \m/ ;)))

You should do some Queensryche! You'd love them!

If you like this you will also like Avantasia .Same lead singer but a different band.

Great reaction of a great song, this is their masterpiece in my opinion, the whole bands was at their peak. Tobias is brilliant ! Great lyrics and amazing voice, besides his other band Avantasia of course, that's just fantastic

Agreed. Tobias has never written a better songs than this one. An absolute beauty of power metal, that's for sure

Good on you to think about doing some solo videos in order to get through more stuff. Also, using the roulette method of choosing a song is a great idea that I have been wanting other reactions channels to use, and it baffles me that none of them have ever thought to do it that way.

Hi I've never watched your reactions before, but I saw this in my suggestions and had to click. The Piper Never Dies! Ah, I love this song so much. I haven't listened to it in a few months (been on an Avantasia binge preparing for their concert - Avantasia is the "side project" of Edguy's vocalist) and I got tears in my eyes hearing the first few seconds. And you have an awesome reaction! You clearly loved it. Tobias Sammet (vocalist/songwriter) is SUCH an amazing songwriter. Seriously after listening to the entire Edguy/Avantasia discographies I feel spoiled for lyrics, but happily spoiled. And there's so many songs (10 full Edguy albums and 8 full Avantasia albums, plus numerous EPs and demos) there's always something I haven't listened to in a while. I'm sure you noticed there was a couple years between the founding of Edguy and their first albums. Since they started so young, at first they only performed covers of ACDC, Kiss, Iron Maiden, etc to small groups of family and neighbors. And speaking as a huge fan who's actually listened to the early demos (it's somewhere here on youtube), the early demos are pretty bad. Totally forgivable since Tobi must've only been 15-16 when he wrote and sung them (and tbh they're kinda precious in a way). But he never stopped writing music and has managed to write 18 albums plus EPs and live tour DVDs in just 24 years.... He's an inspiration to many. I'd love to see you react to more Edguy (or Avantasia) videos! You can't go wrong with them and they deserve more attention, especially in the US. Sorry, I always write so much when it comes to Edguy or Avantasia reactions, especially when the reactor is new to either band. :)

If you like Edguy you will love Avantasia Tobias Sammeth's baby.

Love Edguy! Should listen to Sonata Arctica- Kingdom For a Heart.

Hey HalfLifeSistah, Like others have told you, the singer and driving force behind Edguy is Tobias Sammet, who had a side project called Avantasia. One of their songs, The Scarecrow, has been recommended by many, particularly their live performance of the song at the Wacken festival in 2012 where he shares the singing with awesome power metal singer Jorn Lande. On another note, since you said you're more of a prog metal girl, I strongly encourage you to continue with your foray into Dream Theater, which you began with Wolf by reacting to Hell's Kitchen/Lines In the Sand. A great starting point is "The Count of Tuscany", or the live version (with orchestra and choir included) of "Illumination Theory" from the Boston Opera House. You won't regret it!!

Check out his live concert videos to fully appreciate what he did.

Mushroomhead - We Are the Truth 4. Tech N9ne - Worldwide Choppers ( Busta Rhymes, Yelawolf, Twista..). i know its a few but honestly i like them all and as it covers everything from something different to metal to really good rap that takes me back to the good old days or singers like Tupac, Busta Rhymes, Ice T and others before the age of mumble rap.... so yeah have a good day and Rock on.

Omg I’ve just been listening the hell out of Ayreon’s The Source and the vocals had me back there. Never heard any Edguy before but I might hunt them up for more of a listen. And nice reaction! Grats on your solo run 😀

Tobias Sammet=Avantasia. That is a magnificent concept similar to Ayreon. One person makes all the music, texts etc. and then hires other very well known (metal and rock) musicians, singers in for playing or singing for the concept or metal opera album. I can recommend Avantasia and Ayreon to you. And now I have to learn about Edguy because I like this very much.

Possibly a recommendation to be saved for the no cry challenge: 'Lie of survival' by Pallbearer off their 2017 release 'Heartless' (a solid record overall by the way); doom metal out of Little Rock, AR. Quite different but possibly a case for the challenge as well would be 'And plague flowers the kaleidoscope' by Aussie band Ne Obliviscaris, most often labeled as progressive metal, off their debut album 'Portal of I' released in 2012. This song in particular makes effective use in creating a wall of sound (sound familiar?). I am somewhat surprised to be honest that I haven't seen it on your channel yet because a few other channels have made reaction videos to some of their songs (particularly this one), that is, I have either missed it or it has indeed not been pushed up to you yet.
