3.0 out of 5 stars Helloween - 'High Live' (Metal Is), August 4, 2005

Just found out about this 2-CD release. Sure miss original vocalist Michael Kiskes. Sources indicate that new frontman Andi Deris joined the band in 1994 (is this right?). Guess I really haven't bothered to keep up with this German metal ensemble as much as I thought. Too many bands to keep track of, I guess. Total of sixteen cuts, duration: 85:14. Tunes here are decently played, I thought. Certainly nothing to write home about. Cuts I enjoyed the most were "We Burn", "Sole Survivor", "Time Of The Oath", the ass-kickin' "Dr.Stein" and "Steel Tormentor". Wouldn't mind seeing these guys play live again sometime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly underrated!, September 22, 2009

I totally disagree with the reviewer who stated that Andi Deris butchers Kiske's songs. Kiske left and Deris is actually a better vocalist by far and gives the songs an even greater depth than Kiske was even capable of. For me personally, Helloween's studio albums have either been bland or odd with an occasional good tune here and there but this live album actually makes people want to delve deeper into their back catalog because the performances are that good! Sometimes they're even better than the original version such as the live rendition of "Why". The increased tempo is far superior to the studio version and Andi Deris' vocal range here demonstrates for the pundits just exactly why he was chosen to begin with. I'd say this is a great addition for those wanting to see what Helloween material sounds like performed with energy and raw emotion.
