![Teacher Reacts To "Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song & Valhalla (LIVE)" [NEW FAVORITE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0NNqp1WlASI/mqdefault.jpg)
Hard to believe that BG are active since the mid-80s... and their songs are made for eternity. :)
Not hard to believe, DEMONS &WIZARDS coming out with a new album. That's Iced Earth and Blind Guardian combined!
Made for eternity and beyond
Valhalla is for eternity to drink beer and fight ;)
Valhalla is etarnal ;)
@@anvilofcrom1 I got my copy yesterday 2 days before the official release! It's AWESOME!
Wacken normally has crowd around the size of 80.000 (or 80,000 for the American among you all) these days. And yes if Hansi wanted to he would not need to sing "The Bard's Song" it became kind of an anthem. The crowd continued to sing Valhalla while leaving the in-field long after the band left the stage. BG live is just on a whole other level compared to most other Bands.
I've seen Maiden, Priest, Cooper, Motörhead, all the great ones. And for me, personally, nothing comes close to Blind Guardian and the energy that you can feel at (and after) their concerts. (Not saying the other ones are bad, they are directly after BG for me)
and the crowd is always ready to rock in wacken!
Some say they're STILL singing...
They do.
2020 & we still sing :)
Did someone stop by now? Who?
All know they still do...
Blind Guardian is an incredibly unique band - they're a very big band, but the no matter how big or how small the venue they play, they have a really tight knit connection to their audiences and fans; I've seen them live 10+ times by now, starting early in the 90s, and they just are one of those bands that have something special that can't be replicated. On top of all that, they're all very good people and truly considerate and approachable when it comes to their fans - Hansi especially intentionally goes out of his way to make everyone happy, something that he and many others (in his words) learnt from Dio.
blind guardian gatherings are where people come together to sing and sometimes the band shows up too :D
Blind Guardian....since the first record I am a fan of them, watched them countless times. They are just awesome :) Thanks for the great reaction. By the way, there about 75-85k people there. Wacken is a very small village in the north of Germany (actually only 1 hour away from me). It transformes one time in the year into the captiol of heavy metal :D. My first concert? Slayer...and I was 14 and blown away. Metalheads are family and never ever I experienced so much kindness as in this bunch of people. Please keep on with your reactions.
Blind Guardian is really something very special. You picked great songs but there are tons more where those came from. The live versions are great but I think listening to Hansi in his full glory would be a revelation. He is among my top 10 singers of all time. I think a song like Mordred's Song or And the Story Ends would be delicious for that. But the bands has many anthemic masterpieces (Journey Through the Dark might be my fave, but also Welcome to Dying, Lost in the Twilight Hall, Time What is Time, Curse of Feanor, Nightfall and of course Mirror, Mirror, which might be their most famous song). If you like JRR Tolkien, they're your band. Many songs based on that world (including a full album, Nightfall in Middle-Earth, which is about the Silmarillion) but not only. They became more pompous and "symphonic" since 2001 and they kinda lost me after that but still, one of the Greats of Power Metal.
The studio version of Valhalla features Kai Hansen (singer and guitarist of Helloween on Victim of Fate) and it's pretty fantastic.
I was in their Wacken concert of 2011 it was pretty crazy :D
Hansi live -is- Hansi in his full glory. Valhalla with Kai is nice, but, IMO the best version of the song is the live Imaginations show. Hansi is incredible live, and the fan reactions add a whole new dimension. I have a liking for heavier stuff, so songs like Banish from Sanctuary and Valhalla rank higher for me than the ballads do, but I agree with you on the pompous/symphonic thing. Oldschool BG is the best BG.
That said, Demons and Wizards are live about a 90-minute drive away come Aug 20, and I fucking want to be there.
Personaly i ll put it simple.... NOLDOR
AntiNubDevice nice to see some also into Demons and Wizzards. :D
"Theatre of pain" is one of my favourite songs.
Legends say, the crowd is still singing today...
Yup, I was there, 5th row from the stage. Maybe my best concert experience ever, possibly only topped by Blind Guardian in a very small venue in Bratislava the year after. Their concerts are constant goosebump territory. I've been to quite a few concerts of big and small bands, but the BG crowd always had the most "family" feeling of them all.
Blind Guardian has been around for a LONG time. Their first album came out in 1988, they are PILLARS of the metal scene, especially in Europe, so they're very dearly beloved. They're the forefathers of that kinda epic, power metal
I was in that concert WOE2016. u wont belive it.. but.. even walking back the tend.. still people was singing valhalla.. for nearly .. 15 minutes? just the main part of the song.. what a feeling.
Wacken is not only a Concertcrowd for me! The lads and girls in Wacken are Family! Welcome to Europes biggest Metal Festival!
Guys, I saw your smile and I had to smile right away. You two are incredibly likeable. :)
i cant imagine how good it must feel as a band to have your fans be able to sing your songs like that
I love the old BG Stuff! Valhalla is 30 years old and still kicks ass! It was so awesome to feel the crowd back in 2016... I was crying of joy!
Wacken Open Air (WOA) is the worlds biggest Metall-Festival in a very small village. There are every year more than 60 (highest was 196 Bands in 2018) Bands playing, more than nearly 85.000 People watching and listening.....and me somewhere in between ^^. It is every year again some fantastic days. Blind Guardian played severall years there but 2016 was the last time.
Hellfest in France is now the leader with 125.000 Fans.....
...and to this day, the refrain still echoes through the countryside.
Hellfest maybe has more ppl there, but what makes Wacken big is the importance it has for bands to play there ;)
@@ArinmarDeKaldenoc Wacken ist einfach GEIL ^^
@@ingovonderluhe2174 No, Hellfest is not bigger. They just count their visitors every single day anew and then sum it up, so it's about 120,000 divided by 3. Dumb but well...
Been a fan of BG for 25 years, been to multiple of their show and i can honestly say, you haven't lived until you went to a BG show. I still recall my first BG show, it was sold out but my sister found someone that was selling their ticket. I didn't care that i was going alone to see them, i HAD to go. Long story short, turned out a bunch of my friends also went to see them and i bumped into them during the show. Once a metalhead, you are never truly alone in a metal show. Hell even before i bumped into my friends, people i didn't even know offered me a seat next to them to hang out. It was way more intimate tho, the place held only 400 to 500 spots but even so, when the bard song hit, everyone of us sang it. It was pretty magical to be a part of.
Hansi has one of the most amazing voices I've ever had the pleasure of hearing!!
I was there --- always and forever one of my most treasured moments --- and I will make sure my Grandkids will see them as soon as they turn 5 ... 2 more years to go
You will not find any metal band across the globe that has this many songs which dont even require the lead singer to do nothing or barely anything to have such an astonishing atmosphere, Hansi is truly one of the GOATs, Blind Guardian is!
So this was my first reaction Video of you guys so thanks for the welcome 😄 you two are very cute I have to say and I loved your reaction! So I'm going to watch more of your videos.
Love and greets from germany 🤘🖤
Thank your for reacting to a band which is not known worldwide. Beiing only a consumer of your content, I am happy to help you guys with the translation of the spoken parts,
Beginning:
Wacken, we like to carry you away. I would like to let you scream more, but we don´t have time left. And in that little time we would like to do some music.
I think most of you know what will come next. It has been legendary here in the past. But I think you can do even better today.
Between the songs:
Wacken, your better than usual. We up here had an amazing time and we alway love to come to Wacken. But now it is time to move on. We may see us again sometime, somewhere.
Animating the crowd:
Looks nice, sounds nice.
I think, Magnus is done working, lets get to Frederik. But to do that, you should sing a little bit louder!
Wacken, give all you have!
Sing us away from the stage!
I saw these guys in a very small venue, maybe 500-800 people max, but the energy that Guardian brought to that little audience was just as strong as that huge crowd at Wacken. They're a great band.
One of the first concerts i went was a blind guardian concert here in Brazil, a singular experience, the mood, the magic in the air, Hensi could leave the mic at home and the crowd would sing every word of every single song. They opened with "into the storm" and closed with "nightfall in middle earth". it was more than 10 years ago but it feels like yesterday.
Blind Guardian is such a talented group. They're definitely a go to of mine when I'm feeling down
Love your reaction!
You guys have an amazing mindset and besides appreciating the music i really love how much you appreciate the community and crowd.
I listen to blind Guardian since i was a child actually. And i really love how music brings the world together.
I just recently started watching reactions on RUclips. It just gives a good feeling when enjoying great music together :)
Thanks for your work here and keep it up!
Gonna check out more. All the best and greetings from germany!
Really happy to find you guys!
the lead singer is just so understated cool, and the drummer how you would expect a speed metal drummer to look like.
This is one of your best videos so far. Not just the reactions, but the heartfelt discussion toward the end. Thanks! Regarding the music, I saw Guardian live in 2015, and I will never forget it. The entire show featured sing-a-long numbers like these. I do not normally sing, but I did that night.
Oh man i can not thank you enough for your kind words. Im living many years with depression and anxiety and felt alone with it because my friends and parents doesn't seem to quite understand my struggeling. Your words gave me hope that there is more light out there that i haven't seen until now. Love you guys
A promise light will visible one day and you will breath easily again.
Big hug if you would like to receive one.
I love your smile on your face when you listen to this fantastic Band 😀
Aweeome video to do a reaction to as it shows nicely how versatile BG's music is.
I was in that crowd at Wacken and it still gives me goosebumps every time I watch it :D
"They sing in English"... people in western Europe probably speaks better english than many americans! 😀
Thanks for the great reaction. I was part of the audience and BG was a highlight in this fantastic festival. I like your attitude. Keep it up.
Happy 10k Rich & Kel 👏👏👏👏👏 much deserved 🏆 🎂
You seem like some really believable guys. I'm not into that motivational training thing, but you show one of the most authentic reactions. Thank you and go on :D
It is such a joy to watch your reaction while listingen to the music, lines, while observing the audience.
Wacken is such a special experience. I've been to a lot of festivals, for every genre I can think of, but there's just something magical about Wacken. Everyone is there, from every corner of the world, and for three days, everyone is family. It's an amazing place
Well, you like Blind Guardian, so you have to react to:
Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the Green
Singer Hansi Kürsch from Blind Guardian together with Jon Schaffer from Iced Earth!!
Agreed! Such an amazing song with meaning!
Yeah i agree. Its fantastic !
Agreed, hashtag that sucker!
Such a sad and beautiful song. Good pick, my dude.
Yeeeeeessss!! That one is soooo sad but biiiig epic 💕😍
Hello, at first,

I saw Blind Guardian 3x live in Germany and it was everytime awesome! And now,after your vid, i am sitting Here,the memories remains and my eyes get very wet!! Stay tuned!!
Sorry für my Bad Englisch.
Best wishes from Germany
Olaf

Anthemic BG at their very best. Images tell the story. Great live band. Great reaction 🤘🤘
Whether first concert or 1000th concert you dont forget that feeling. Keep it real kèp it metal.
👊👊 🤘🤘
Blind guardian is special and epic.
And
PLEASE.
If you like blind guardian you NEED to see new Helloween.
Helloween “king for 1000 years “ live on three continents

#painintheask.
First and only time I've seen Blind Guardian was in 2006 at Sweden Rock Festival. Hansi was sick as hell. Damn, he looked gray in his skin but he gave it 200% anyways. They were awesome. They did one of my favorite songs as well, "And Then There Was Silence". Great band
Great reaction guys. BG is such a fun band to sing their songs. Keep Heavy.
PS: I agree with everything you say about being part of a community and i think we all should get along.
Hansi Kursch have a singular voice! Blind guardian play in perfect harmony, the best German Metal band!
Legend says that the audience still wanders over the fields at Wacken singing Valhalla until Blind Guardian performs the next time.
the best version of Valhalla is on the dvd the band ended the song but the crowd continued for a good 7 minutes more just singing the chorus until the band rejoined them
Happend that time 2016 at Wacken too
one of my first metal bands. and they will last in my heart forever!!!!!
I Know BG since I was a young Boy. It was my first experience with Metal music. I like the lyrics inspired by medieval tales. Must be overwhelming if 10000s sing your Song like one voice.
Probably my all-time favorite Kel-N-Rich reaction.
POWER Metal.
Bard's song isn't just a beloved song, it's a Power Metal hymn.
I love you guys. Thank you
Great pics, BG are quite something, the bard song is an all time great.
I'm glad you like BG, Seen them 6 times and their intense and grandiose every time. You now need to hear what they've become now, even in a few months their full on orchestral album comes out. I'm a metalhead since '78
I'm 47 yrs and have been to 98 shows. I took my daughter to see Kiss in Cleveland last week for her 1st concert driving 180 miles. She's wasn't a metal fan until that night, I hugged her so hard and thanked her for coming with me. Kiss was my 1st concert in '78.

Hey Larry, I am "only" 43 years old but I know the feeling you have with your daughter. My stepson loves metal just seconds after hearing the first notes of Helloween.
@@stefanbierganns3193 Man we gettin old, metal should be experienced live for sure. BTW, my 100 concert will finally be the 1st time I'll be seeing an orchestra. My daughter said she'd go with me.😋
@@keelinmetaljam923 Awesome, I had the pleasure to enjoy Rage with the Lingua Mortis Orchestra back in the 90s ;) And..if I include all the festivals I went to, my 100th concert maybe long ago :D I think it was a gig in Wacken of Motörhead ;) But I still enjoy the small club concerts with sweat dripping from the ceiling...thats metal at its best. Small crowd, awesome music, you know the drill and its amazing how many bands are touring over here in Hamburg, Germany. Nearly every day a concert.
@@stefanbierganns3193 jealous
That was really a fantastic concert in 2016. I was there, it was a really cold night, it was the first time I had to buy a hot coffee in Wacken after 14 years. 😆
Happy to see your smile Kel. Blind Guardian have ever been my big smile. I saw them first time in Sweden in 1996 and since I ve loooove them. Moore BG
Love Blind Guardian, great reaction, so many good Blind Guardian songs out there! I'd recommend imagination from the other side.
I came for the reaction but I believe I suscribed for you two great people :)
Kamelot "Liar Liar".
Archenemy "War Eternal".
Just a suggestion.
Saw Blind Guardian 2 times in the past few years. Still awesome. And although the venue was not Wacken, still the same. And the last show Jon Schaffer showed up.
For those unaware, Hansi and Jon did a collaborative band named Wizards and Demons. Amazing.
Yeah I remember my first concert, it was Blind Guardian :P
Hey there....love your reaction about blind guardian........i was there at wacken....greetz from germany....Frank
I just have to say thank you. You just give me some advice what I needed and I saw my mistake...
Helloween may be the godfathers of power metal but Blind Guardian are the undisputed champions. Wacken averages about 80,000 people a night. That's a lot of drunk and happy Metalheads. One day I will make my way there. One day!
Wacken and 70,000 tons of metal are the shit I want to see live.
It's the first video I saw from you and I liked especially the part after the actual reaction. You two seem very nice and I might watch some other videos... but not all of them. There are simply too many of them. :-)
It seems that this video has just become available again! Could everyone watching this please let me know what country you’re watching it from and when you were able to view it and if it still viewable. Thank you very much. Rich
Watching from Norway, no problems here.
Just looking it from Germany
USA,USA,USA !!!
Just watched from Germany aswell .. no Issues
Watched it from Germany, no issues here.
The only word that can describe the relationship between blind guardian and the fans at a show is fellowship.
Blind Guardian was my first concert 2006 in stockholm
Wise words..... You nailed it.
NOOOOOOO!!!!
WHY DID YOU CUT IT??
The crowd keeps singing after the song ends for a long time
I think, that is the other version of Valhalla - without The Bards Tale In The Forest at the beginning.
That version is from the Imaginations through the looking glass DVD. Hansi still had long hair then.
Nope its happend there too
@@joshuaswanson1977 It always happens. Saw the singer Hansi Kürsch with Demons & Wizards, project between Blind Guardian and Jon Schaffer (Ex-Iced Earth) and they played Valhalla there. And we sang it after the end for a few minutes.
because the video ends there..
"The Bard Song - The Hobbit" and Imaginations from the other side (studio) are the best BGs songs.
the Wacken crowd singing with Blind Gaurdian is not any less thrilling than the Liverpool fans singing "You'll never walk alone" before their matches.
And it is so nice how many of you Ameircan "reactors" get smiling while watching "our" german jewel Blind Guardian for the first time...
It was awesome!
I really appreciate you write in the title of the video when the concert was performed. Thanks guys
Greetings from germany! I've been at locations like clubs or private Party and when the bard Song is starting you can quit playing it because everyone will sing this together !!
a great show of this kind of fan devotion is the Linkin Park show that they did in memory of Chester, they did the beat and instruments only for their song Numb and the crowd sung the ENTIRE song, it's sooooo amazing to listen to, wish I could have been there to sing along
Wacken is usually around 80-82,000 in the crowd (it could be more but the organisers had to limit it at about 80k to avoid overrunning the village too much!) It can also be tricky to get tickets for the festival as they go on sale at midnight on the last night of the concert for the following year and usually all 80,000 sell out within minutes!
#painintheask Blind Guardian - And Then There was Silence (original version)
2012 version is much better imo
Both are great!
Imaginations from the other side.... Masterpiece....
The version of the "Blind Guardian Open Air" at Coburg 2003 is the best in my opinion. maybe just bcs i have been there :D
Demons and Wizards a band that has the singer from Blind Guardian and the lead guitarist from Iced Earth would be great to react to their first self titled album from 1999. They have already released a music video named Diabolic from their album coming out in February 2020.
Hey kel and rich,
I'll try to provide some provisional translations.
Before the Bard's Song:
(First line pretty tough to translate due to audio quality)
'Wacken, are you up for it ?!
I'd like you guys to scream a little longer, we don't have a lot of time left though.
We want to spare that time with music, for sure.
I guess the most of you might know what comes next.
It's been legendary sometimes in here (Wacken OA), yet I've got the feeling that you guys might put the icing on the cake today.'
Before Valhalla:
'Wacken, I dare to say it, but you're even up to it as usual!
We all ( the band) had a great time, yet there is always a time to move on, and this very time ist just now.
We will see each other again somewhere.'
At the end of the song, right before the crowd "takes over":
'Looks great?! Sounds great?! I'm Magnus and I've worked enough?...We'd like to continue this song but you guys gotta get louder!
Cheers,
Patrick Setzer
University of Würzburg
Linguistics Department
'
Gute Übersetzung, bis auf den Part mit Markus, das würde ich so übersetzen:
Looks great, sounds great, I think Markus has worked enough, now we can bring Freddie into play - You have to sing a little bit louder for this!
Frankenpower 🍺💪🇩🇪
Another great German band 😉 Great choices and there are many more.... #BlindGuardian „Mirror Mirror“
Du hast eine wunderhübsche Frau!!Love your Chanel!
Love Blind Guardian. ✌
Its crazy that they were not even headlining that day
Hey guys...remember "boston"....foreplay/long time...the mrs. Will love this one
Moooree BG!!! My favorites! Great video. The Hobbit song is amazing, and just goes above and beyond with the audience participating. And I do hope you get around to this epic song:
Blind Guardian: Wheel of Time #painintheask
The bards of metal.
I was there!
Blind Guardian é show 🤘🇧🇷🤘
Show de bola!
Blind flippin Guardian. A good band for multiple songs to be sure. 👍 in a similar vein I will have to attempt to get you to listen to the less well known Charon at some point.
Awesome, but you should really watch Valhalla from the Imaginations through the looking Glass DVD, right to the end, even if you don't record it - it's a bit special 🤘
FUCKING A. That whole show is a bit special, thanks to the crowd, and Valhalla is really where you see that crowd shine. Without spoiling it, that audience, on that song specifically... It's a bands wet dream. Literally the reason they perform. It's absolutely incredible. I still show people that video as a rebuttal when they talk about cool crowds/shows. It sends shivers down my spine.
Other great blind guardian songs to check out.
“The holy grail “
“ majesty “
“ voice in the dark “
That's the best band in the world right there !!!
BG make me a survivor of the 90th!!!
I was there it was awsome
Only in Europe :) Music brings us together & we enjoy the fullest.
You are awesome. Thank you so much. Its so nice to watch your reactions. I am a big fan from blind guardian, nightwish. I have a dream. Can you react odin from Faun? Its medievil music and very emotional and deep. With the singer einar selvik from the Finnish nature band wardruna. Its really special and so beautiful. Thank you so much for your realtalk and emotions. I be proud to be in your community. Sorry for my bad english. I come from germany (Ruhrgebiet). A beautiful song is helvegen from warduna. ( the guys made the titlesong for the series vikings. Have a nice day
Highly recommend "The Fiddler on The Green" by Demons & Wizards. Same vocalist.
That is one of my favorite songs of all time. I just saw it live at the end of August when they did their first American tour.
Heya from Germany 🇩🇪 Blind Guardian is one of my favorite since a long time - but also open minded for something special. So please react to " Dimash Kudaibergen" singing OGNI Pietra from the Arnau Concert on his own channel. This guy has an 6 octave range and he is trained since the age of 5 years old. Never heard a voice like this. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. All the best from Germany ☀️ Petra
