Biography
Netherlands (2002 – present)
Unlike Ayreon, the band did not follow one storyline; instead, each song was a different story with a sci-fi concept, most of the tracks based on existing movies and series. The band takes its name from the second season finale of Blake’s 7.
Star One was born out of the remnants of an abandoned collaboration between Lucassen and Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson in 2002. Dickinson proposed the idea and the two exchanged ideas and put together four songs, Lucassen writing the music and Dickinson writing the lyrics. The project was abandoned however after Lucassen mentioned the project on the internet and Dickinson’s manager called off negotiations. Instead of completely abandoning the material that had already been produced, Lucassen decided to put his own lyrics to the music and created Star One.
When asked on the “Ask Arjen Anything” channel of communication if there would be another Star One album, Lucassen simply stated “Probably”. However, he has since stated that he does not want to make another Star One album: “Space Metal was really magic. I am afraid that I will fail to capture the same atmosphere and actually ruin it! I am actually against sequels; you cannot repeat the same atmosphere and feeling like you had with the first album.”

I remember seeing the Live on Earth DVD at my local about five years ago and not wanting to chance it despite being a huge fan of Ayreon. Is it still out of print? Every time I think about it now I want to cry...
