This is a song which can sometimes carry me away and shed a tear or two... "The fate of us all, lies deep in the dark, when TIME STAND STILL AT THE IRON HILL!!" Fucking beautiful song!
Honestly at around 0:25-0:30 I don't think that's the camera shaking. I think that's the Earth trying to withstand the awesomness that is Blind Guardian and nearly failing for a moment.
@VantagePointGames You're in for a real treat! I saw Blind Guardian when they came around the U.S. I think 2 years ago, and they were probably one of my top live acts I've seen in my life. An unforgettable night. I'm going to see them again in December.
@dametaler And there I thought I was the only one. I saw Blind Guardian live about a week ago and Hansi looked downright *BADASS* with his short hair. It was really epic! First time of my life, my hometown made me proud :) Of course, they played this masterpiece as well. Best live show I've ever seen thus far :)
@ZeroMechful Yeah man, im from São Luis - MA, Brazil..... they did a fabulous show here on são luis, like they are still young....(sorry for my english) its my favorite band.... i can die happy now...
Yes, it's nice. A pity that Hansi doesn't sings as in the album at all times. Most of time changes those high-voice parts into low. And he does it very well. I think that he can't sing like that for long (and years dont pass in vain...). Anyways, is a great band with a great live, I wish I could see them!!!!
i've never seen frederik smashing on his drums like in the ending before...and i think he is the best drummer they could find after thomen left the band!
@cloudvol7 Because Christopher Tolkien would *never* sell the rights to the Silmarillion to any movie maker....we'll have to wait until after he dies (he's in his 80s, though).
@shadowsentwined german AND finnish.. since the whole power/speed thing began with halloween AND stratovarius :D (as well as bg and many others. still this song and their later stuff is much more symphonic...)
Theyre amazing live, but i heard the chorus from what seems to be studio, and it had a different ring to it. I tried to find a studio version, but its dahm impossible. Can anyone help?
And now the question is.... why the fuck would anyone choose some emo/death/black metal band over this??? this is fucking brilliant long live the bards
The iron crowned Is getting closer Swings his hammer Down on him Like a thunderstorm He's crushing Down the Noldor's Proudest king FUCK ME, If it's not the most fucking beautifull metal lyrics!
I can tell you from my own experience, you can never pull such high notes live as you do in the studio, its got something to do with the crowd around I guess, you just get nervous even though you know you shouldnt (I dont know if that makes any sense, just speaking my mind). Anyway Hansi sure is one of my idols
When he sings “I stand alone, no one’s by my side” and crowd sing along is a truly orgasm!!
This is a song which can sometimes carry me away and shed a tear or two...
"The fate of us all, lies deep in the dark, when TIME STAND STILL AT THE IRON HILL!!"
Fucking beautiful song!
Your never to old to be Metal in any form.
Honestly at around 0:25-0:30 I don't think that's the camera shaking. I think that's the Earth trying to withstand the awesomness that is Blind Guardian and nearly failing for a moment.
It doesn't matter how old you are to be doing this Blind Guardian is bad ass
fingolfin, highest king
Oh god, i love this song....
Fingolfin, Your spirit will be with us in every BG Live!!
"Finally I found myself in these lands, horror and madness I've seen here" Love that line.
I listened this album because of The Silmarillion
lord of noldor, a star in the night, bear of hope, rides into this glorious battle alone. EPICNESS
Thanks Tolkien and BG for make things how this....this song is simply amazing,
this song is a masterpiece
7 people will be damned by Morgoth.
In normal CD already live is great, I don't have nor words. Phenomenal show of yours.
What an EPIC VOICE!!!
@VantagePointGames You're in for a real treat! I saw Blind Guardian when they came around the U.S. I think 2 years ago, and they were probably one of my top live acts I've seen in my life. An unforgettable night. I'm going to see them again in December.
WOW .... i just went to a show of them here in Porto Alegre, Brazil....THEY STILL DO THE SHIT RIGHT ...THEY ARE SIMPLY AMAZING
Absolutely amazing performance! All hail Blind Guardian! \m/

@WARORK93 That part is so awesome! It almost made me cry when I was reading it :')
Dioboia 🤘🏻

To be honest I like the live version more than the studio version.
EXCELENT!
Love more than beer!!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!

Its a custom ESP Horizon guitar. Unfortunately it's not sold online or in store because he isn't endorsed by ESP.
1:41 - 1:42 "SQUIRREL"
Yes, it's nice. A pity that Hansi doesn't sings as in the album at all times. Most of time changes those high-voice parts into low. And he does it very well. I think that he can't sing like that for long (and years dont pass in vain...).
Anyways, is a great band with a great live, I wish I could see them!!!!
3:10 to 3:17 Best solo ever!
On the image thumbnail, Hansi really looks like an inhaling Kirby!
Most Elves are girly. In fact I hate most elves. But I will swear up and down by Tolkien's elves. Fingolfin is always my first example.
@iorost
Agreed :) A little more difficult to get into, but AWESOME story!
i've never seen frederik smashing on his drums like in the ending before...and i think he is the best drummer they could find after thomen left the band!
@cloudvol7
Because Christopher Tolkien would *never* sell the rights to the Silmarillion to any movie maker....we'll have to wait until after he dies (he's in his 80s, though).
Wacken 2011 =D
@shadowsentwined couldn't have put it better myself!!!! i totally agree with EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID!!! HAIL TO BLIND GUARDIAN INDEED!!!!!:D
@shadowsentwined german AND finnish.. since the whole power/speed thing began with halloween AND stratovarius :D (as well as bg and many others. still this song and their later stuff is much more symphonic...)
@TheLordinquisitor i remember when he still had hair :(((((((
1:26 pow!
Theyre amazing live, but i heard the chorus from what seems to be studio, and it had a different ring to it. I tried to find a studio version, but its dahm impossible. Can anyone help?
@iorost Why hasn't peter jackson made a movie to the Slimarillion yet! He definately should yeah...
Just Call Me Gaz lol
I Think You Should Know What The BG Stands For!!
@rondonjoseantonio A melhor banda do mundo xD
True dat
And now the question is.... why the fuck would anyone choose some emo/death/black metal band over this??? this is fucking brilliant
long live the bards
Dead On 1:53 Hansi Looks Very Sinister!!
All Hail Marcus.
I couldnt find any with lyrics. Thats what i usually do when trying to find studio
More Like From 0:05-5:15!!!!
Fucking Excellent Song!!!
@WARORK93 , also and Summoning!
oh big guy..!
at the end of the day, BG remain one of the best metal bands ever...they far surpass the whole stale power metal genre
Yep he has something of a Jack Nicholson's crazy stare in his eyes ...hehe
Hansi rules !
The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down the Noldor's
Proudest king
FUCK ME, If it's not the most fucking beautifull metal lyrics!
haha, you ever end up in brentwood find me ill help you with that.
At 1 minute in is that Lionel Richie holding the camera?
I can tell you from my own experience, you can never pull such high notes live as you do in the studio, its got something to do with the crowd around I guess, you just get nervous even though you know you shouldnt (I dont know if that makes any sense, just speaking my mind). Anyway Hansi sure is one of my idols
@shadowsentwined ROCK THE FUCK ON. You get a thumbs up.
can someone tell me wich guitar André plays?
Hansi looks quite insane in this video...
Not bad live, i would prefer if he shout more
@andr3franca hahah podes crer
@warork93 no fukin doubt
Der beste Song wenn man sich sagt " jetzt gehts um alles und du bist der Wixer der das ausbaden muss"
"You coward" was a bit disappointing :/ no worries, though, still an amazing song!!
aren't you kinda young to be here? there's Dora ths explorer at your suggestion videos ;-)
like hansi better with short hair^^
1 Person will be smashed by Morgoth himself
The house of hador wins though
I don't.
I disagree x) I prefer Summoning
@Keligorm Feanor was cool but his death was nowhere near as epic.
aint these guys a little old to be doing this
