Dr. Stein

"Dr. Stein" is a power metal track by German band Helloween, released in 1988 on Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II. Its lyrics draw from Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, blending dark literary themes with Helloween's signature melodic energy. A live staple at virtually every Helloween concert, the song offers electric guitarists an excellent introduction to classic European power metal riffing, dual-guitar interplay, and the band's characteristically bright, galloping style.

  • The lyrics are based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, giving the song a strong literary narrative to follow while learning.
  • Helloween plays 'Dr. Stein' live at virtually every concert, making it one of their most enduring and recognizable catalog tracks.
  • The track comes from Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II, a landmark 1988 album in the development of European power metal guitar.

Fender Stratocaster

While Helloween primarily used Gibson SGs and Ibanez models, the Stratocaster's single-cutaway versatility and humbucker pairing offered similar sustain and upper-fret accessibility needed for their dual-guitar harmonies. The instrument's reliability and articulate pickup response aligned with the band's philosophy of letting tube amp tone and technique drive their signature power metal sound.
