Problem is: there are NO bands LIKE Blind Guardian. I fell in love with their music at the age of 12, and since then, there has been no band like them. NOT ONE. no matter how good the others are.
@@enriquefelixberrio7108 You cant compare Queen and Blind Guardian. Queen has paved the way for a whole genre including its subs, but you cant compare the bands styles. In the Heavy Metal headgenre, BG are in a league of its own, as are Queen in their respective fields (as not only one thing applys to them)
Haha no kidding. Probably the best sounding concert dvd I own. You can hear everything clearly - the guitars, the vocals, the drums, and the crowd. Pretty much flawless.
Eeeh… Maiden honestly started really sucking after 1987, with the only exception being The X-Factor because they dared to explore new sounds and its superb music
So true and also sad D: Hansis voice is unique .... no one can sing like him and NO other band has a style that comes close to BG :/ When this band dies a great part of power metal dies with them ... but the bard's songs will remain :)
out of every band that could have ever been Lord of the Rings based I'm thrilled that it's a band that is not only amazing, but just as good, if not better, live
This has got to be the best live show opening songs of all time. Possibly the best album opening track of all time too. And the best power metal album of all time. From the best power metal band of all time.
This guys should make concert albums only. Seriously, every fucking song from them turns from "meh" to "holy shit this is a masterpiece" after watching live version for me
Bling Guardian is one of the few metal bands i have ever heard , that i like the live versions of their songs more than the studio ones xD... They get much more "filled" and "heavy" with the crowd ,etc And ofc a great example is into the storm , if anyone has heard the studio version would understand this:P . BG OWNS \m/
I can't really say I dislike any of their albums. Good bands are able to develop over time, and change their sound, bringing something new with every album. Blind Guardian have remained awesome throughout their career.
ya you just gotta love how blind guardian can get the crowd really riled up its magic if youve ever been to one of their conecerts you feel likes there sum super charged energy in the air...and to the guy who said dress metal i say to you wtf?! metal is about wearing w/e shirt w/e jeans and having your hair like w/e and just going out and enjoying the music metal is music for people who dont give ahsit about looks we come togehter to headbang and enjoy the best genre ever concived by man
It's kinda funny to watch this because I just think of them as the Silmarillion characters and I keep expecting to actually see Melkor and Ungoliant singing...
Before someone takes of naoaceitawhatever's comment - Hansi can for sure sing the high notes live. Sure he sometimes drops down an octave or sings counter melody, but his style of singing is much more abrasive and demanding than some of the more "clean" power vocalists' styles. Surely you cant expect him to keep it up night after night for months? And it gives their live shows a raw edge, suits the epic war-torn content of their music perfectly imho anyway.
they are like my favorite band.i always listen to them and they are awesome (specially when you feel down ;))their lives just kick some serious ass. dragons,sorceries and Blind Guardian!!!! \m/
@LMTR14 IMO, Nightfall In Middle Earth changed BG for the better. But I guess our musical opinions differ. Either way I love all metal and will support similar metal bands FOREVER! \m/>.
Yeah, pretty much all I listen to is power metal. My friend showed me DragonForce a couple of years ago, my first learnings of power metal, and I've loved it since. I was gonna do a bunch of Blind Guardian covers but I don't have anything that freaking takes videos.
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 I have the same problem, but not because of when I was born. I just don't really find out about bands until after they've already peaked. But it's OK, because the songs are all recorded and will live forever thanks to digital technology. Blind Guardian will NEVER DIE!
Am I the only one who thinks their live performances are vastly superior to their albums? If i discovered them by the albums I don't think I would even enjoy
The chorus, the way i interpret it, is like all the characters, singing how, following the will of the One, they will push through the dark times ahead (dark times that had already begun on this song and explained on Nightfall)
Hansi is a fine singer . Probably some people think he can´t sing high because of he doesn´t have a clean voice , like André Matos perhaps. Anyway, Hansi's voice is very powerful indeed.
@feinster500gzucker the studio's are confined. Since its an enclosed space, there is a weird change in the sound that is subtle. Also live performences also benifit from the crowds positive support, dunno why but it gives good vibes.
Agree with Atremious.. @vguyver, BG is -huge.- Even here in the States where they're significantly less well known, they're still quite popular. I mean, they did the theme for the game Sacred 2, and the game gave them a full in-game "concert" cinematic. That's pretty classy.

listen to persuader, and savage circus
Дружище! У каждого свой вкус. Они безусловно классные, но есть много других хороших команд!🇺🇦💯🤘🤘🤘
Queen

@@McDark84I was just kidding due the fact Queen influence is strong here.
the best performance of this song in youtube
His voice translates from studio to stage perfectly. Great stuff.
Haha no kidding. Probably the best sounding concert dvd I own. You can hear everything clearly - the guitars, the vocals, the drums, and the crowd. Pretty much flawless.
As an album opener, this is right up there with "Aces High" on Maiden's "Powerslave" album. They're definitely the spiritual successors to Maiden.
Eeeh… Maiden honestly started really sucking after 1987, with the only exception being The X-Factor because they dared to explore new sounds and its superb music
thomen on drums
long hair
hansi fully sings the high parts
good old times! :-)
Silmarillion related album. Nightfall in middle earth is a masterpiece, period.
I love imagintaions and A night at the opera. But middie earth. Is fucking awesome.
So true and also sad D: Hansis voice is unique .... no one can sing like him and NO other band has a style that comes close to BG :/ When this band dies a great part of power metal dies with them ... but the bard's songs will remain :)
Is making me cry your hobby?
Holy Cannoli these guys are awesome! Never heard of them till now. Just happened to stumble into them on Allmusic.
Marcus Siepen is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
Imaginations through the looking glass...
One of the best live albums ever
Nightfall in Middle-Earth :)
One of the greatest males voices in metal!!!!!!
out of every band that could have ever been Lord of the Rings based I'm thrilled that it's a band that is not only amazing, but just as good, if not better, live
Oh it s sweet how the
Darkness floating around
Blind Guardian are coming back to Greece...
"How I need it
How I need it
How I need it"
I love how this is shot- pro cameras, but also some handhelds from within the crowd- gives you the feeling of being there!
Man, BG are so incredible live, it's almost illegal to see them play. Wish I could attend a concert of theirs one of these days...
I love them ! Hansi has got a amazing voice !!!
It always sounds like ... just amazing ^^.
This has got to be the best live show opening songs of all time. Possibly the best album opening track of all time too. And the best power metal album of all time. From the best power metal band of all time.

This band needs to come back to America sometime soon.
gosh I love them... can't get tired of hearing their music
It's kinda funny to watch this because I just think of them as the Silmarillion characters and I keep expecting to actually see Melkor and Ungoliant singing...
They sound amazing live
I love this band so much...*sigh* Hopefully I'll get to see 'em live one day.
I like this song very much!!
a really good song this is the first time ve listen to them and ya they are great
blind guardian live at zaragoza was the best !!
it's one of the better band of the wolrd
i was 2 times at their concert and I never got enough. I want again.
If you have ever read the silmarillion, this song makes even more sense then before.
Go BG ^^
This album is an absolute masterpiece

how I need them to come back to Toronto!!
they are like my favorite band.i always listen to them and they are awesome (specially when you feel down ;))their lives just kick some serious ass.
dragons,sorceries and Blind Guardian!!!!
\m/
Oh, in terms of metal singers, he's not a power metal frontman, but Mats Leven has an amazing vocal style too;
why don't they make a world tour with all their great songs like mirror mirror, the bards song, nightfall, etc.etc.? that would be so awesome *___*
muy bien. one of the best songs ever.
Que viva por siempre el power el thrash y el heavy metal los mejores perros subgéneros del metal 2023
that drummer kicks ass. i love the bass drum rolls in the chorus!
blind guardian es unas de mi mejores bandas de metal aleman viva el metalllllllll por ssiempre
OMFG, Hansi's got one hell of a voice!! This song is freaking SWEET!! :D
never heard this song studio version but i like this. WHO SAID THEY SUCK LIVE? THEY KICK ASS!
@LMTR14 IMO, Nightfall In Middle Earth changed BG for the better. But I guess our musical opinions differ. Either way I love all metal and will support similar metal bands FOREVER! \m/>.
i was looking for not a live edition of this song in youtube,BUT WTF,THIS IS WAY BETTER.

THE BEST BAND \m/ HAIL FROM SPAIN
we are following the will of the oneeee... God, how i love this music!! Great band ;) ;) Tolkien should be proud of it from the high heaven :D ;)
Arianna Bonardi he actually dispised rock music, so he'd've hated it
PERFECT VOICE!!!
blind guardian RULES!!! ¬¬
I stated as follows "Blind Guardian, DAS BESTE AUS DEUTSCHLAND" (the best of their home country)
@LMTR14 Obviously you didn't listen to At The Edge Of Time. Best album of 2011 by far.
the best band ever
Yeah, pretty much all I listen to is power metal. My friend showed me DragonForce a couple of years ago, my first learnings of power metal, and I've loved it since.
I was gonna do a bunch of Blind Guardian covers but I don't have anything that freaking takes videos.
They do have a live-CD indeed, it's named "Tokyo Tales"
this live is from 1998 we can see hansi at 100% !!!! fantastic !!!!
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 I have the same problem, but not because of when I was born. I just don't really find out about bands until after they've already peaked. But it's OK, because the songs are all recorded and will live forever thanks to digital technology. Blind Guardian will NEVER DIE!
Blind Guardian is like the monarchs of power metal
Blind gurdian is the best band ever!
Hell yeahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Can't say I agree with you completely, but there is no doubt that they are amazing live.
VIVE BLIND GUARDIAN!! :D
through the dark age and into the storm!
Best Band E V E R ...
Am I the only one who thinks their live performances are vastly superior to their albums? If i discovered them by the albums I don't think I would even enjoy
Well said!!
Blind Guardian is great. From some of their songs, they seem to be playing in between power metal, and regular metal.
The chorus, the way i interpret it, is like all the characters, singing how, following the will of the One, they will push through the dark times ahead (dark times that had already begun on this song and explained on Nightfall)
Oh yeah,well said!!!
Hansi is a fine singer . Probably some people think he can´t sing high because of he doesn´t have a clean voice , like André Matos perhaps. Anyway, Hansi's voice is very powerful indeed.
Metal today is not metal anymore..... The real Metal has been ceased...miss 80s, 90s....when the real metal bands with guts and balls did exist.
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 youre forgetting something my friend... the golden days of blind guardian didnt stop, we still live in it :)
We are following the will of the one!!
That was electric. I wish I was in that audience.
@feinster500gzucker the studio's are confined. Since its an enclosed space, there is a weird change in the sound that is subtle. Also live performences also benifit from the crowds positive support, dunno why but it gives good vibes.
Queen and Led Zeppelin run deep in them
That is Hansi Kursch. An awesome singer!!
Also check out the band Demons & Wizards. They have the same lead vocalist.
agreed, i only have the double live album but I still love them more than some other bands!!! yeah they are way better live!!!!
i always listen to this music
but i didn't see the show
it's very fucking good
Agree with Atremious.. @vguyver, BG is -huge.- Even here in the States where they're significantly less well known, they're still quite popular. I mean, they did the theme for the game Sacred 2, and the game gave them a full in-game "concert" cinematic. That's pretty classy.
The bards in their prime
That's my second favorite album. Nightfall in Middle-Earth is my first.
WE ARE FOLLOWING THE WILL OF THE ONE!
Love that riff at 4:14!
Hansi is like Fingolfin if Fingolfin played awesome metal.
