Helloween - 'Best Time' (Live At Budokan)

I've got to get up
Take a power shot to trigger my mind
I had a bad trip
Gotta push myself back on the line
Yes I know I'm gonna be alright
I'm feeling better in the neon light

I will have the best time of my life
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
I will have the best time of my life
Tomorrow is perfect day, another chance
More games to play

I was a fool
Feeling down, looking back, wasting my time
I have no fear
Now I know there will be a mountain to climb
Yes I know I'm gonna be alright
I'm feeling better in the neon night

I will have the best time of my life
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
I will have the best time of my life
Tomorrow is a perfect day, Another chance
More games to play

There's nowhere left that we can go
Pushing on to higher goals
I know I must stop twisting my mind

I will have the best time of my life
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
I will have the best time of my life
Tomorrow is a perfect day, another chance
More games to play

Yes, I will have the best time of my life
Tomorrow is a perfect day, another chance
More games to play

Yes, I will have the best time of my life
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery

"Ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένος δίσκος είναι η μουσική πρόταση των Helloween για το 2024. "Live at Budokan" ο τίτλος και φορά την ηχογράφηση - φιλμογράφηση της εμφάνισης των Γερμανών power metallers στην πρωτεύουσα της Ιαπωνίας πέρυσι, στις 16 Σεπτεμβρίου 2023.

Θα "βγει" τον τελευταίο μήνα του τρέχοντος έτους (στις 13 Δεκεμβρίου 2024) σε διπλό cd, τριπλό βινύλιο, ψηφιακή μορφή, DVD και Blu-ray μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Reigning Phoenix Music.

Παρακολουθούμε τον Michael Kiske (φωνητικά), τον Kai Hansen (κιθάρα και φωνητικά), τον Michael Weikath (κιθάρα), τον Markus Grosskopf (μπάσο), τον Andi Deris (φωνητικά), τον Sascha Gerstner (κιθάρα) και τον Dani Löble (τύμπανα)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Get ready to dive headfirst into the electrifying world of Helloween with their new live album, a colossal release that immortalizes their iconic performance at Tokyo's legendary Nippon Budokan.

Choosing the Nippon Budokan for this live recording was no coincidence. A venue rich in musical history, it has hosted countless legendary concerts and is an accolade for every music group that has played there.

Helloween is the first German band ever to record a live album in the Nippon Budokan, and for the members it was a dream come true. The live recording's technical brilliance is another highlight.

With 29 cameras capturing every nuance, the production team ensured that each moment of the concert is preserved in stunning detail. This attention to detail means the DVD and Blu-ray versions offer an immersive viewing experience, making fans feel like they are right there in the front row.

The setlist of this live album is a treasure trove of surprises, contains the entire 2 hour + show and offerins a fresh experience compared to previous releases like "United Alive."

This thoughtful song selection honors both the die-hard fans craving something new and the band's rich musical legacy, showcasing their evolution and expansive repertoire.

This live album is more than just a concert recording; it's a celebration of Helloween's enduring impact on the metal scene. It promises to bring the magic of an unforgettable performance straight into fans' homes, offering a piece of music history that embodies the spirit and energy of a legendary band at their peak.»

Παρακολουθούμε το βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του τραγουδιού "Best Time", για το οποίο ο (εκ των κιθαριστών των Helloween) Sascha Gerstner μας λέει σχετικά:

«"Best Time" captures the energy and the moment when everything fits together perfectly and you leave everything negative behind. For me, this track is an anthem for all those nights when you're heading towards the future. That's why it conveys exactly this mood in concert, as if you were living in a single, great moment that lasts forever.»
