Thomen, that's insane! Glad you uploaded this!!!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend! ♥️♥️♥️
Oh look, the best BG drummer playing the best BG song! 😍
What a piece of art! No wonder why I cannot find magic in BG anymore, Thomen is not there. Thanks so much for sharing. You're the best.
Glad you enjoyed it, Alejandro! Thanks a lot! ✌️
you absolute madlad. I can't imagine the stamina it takes to do this. Absolute legend
YEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end when Thomen started singing i almost cried, i thought of 2003 Live version of this...thinking about how much I love this album, this song, and the Thomen drumming in the whole album.
Tears of joy...really thank you man for these pieces of music!!!!
That was awesome, such a treat for an old fan 🙏 Absolutely love your drumming, can't praise it enough!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of the songs with the most exciting progressions on our planet! THANKS THOMEN!!
If I could wish for *one* drum track to see on RUclips… it would be this. Fantastic!
The drums in this song are spectacular
Thanks a lot! 🙏🫶
This is my favorite song of all time and you're my favorite drummer. I can't believe I'm so fortunate that I can watch the master play the track. What a treat. I can't tell you how thankful I am that you're putting in this work for your fans.
This song brings me such good memories... Thank you from the heart.
The best drummer in the history of power metal. For real. I hope one day you go back to BG. It's my favorite band of all time, and it has not been the same since you left. Not at all. This song is a masterpiece, the drums are truly divine. We love your work, Thomen.
Thank you so much! 🤘🏻🤗🤘🏻
One of my all time favorite BG songs. Thank you Thomen!
My pleasure!
I will never tired to say how ANATO is THE MASTERPIECE of power metal of all time, and i can listen the whole album and sing along all musics easily! Thanks a lot to upload this, i have got to tears when you start singing in the end, wonderfull! And please, from the bottom of my heart, do the Wait for an Answer, one of the most brilliant drums i've ever seen, at the same time so powerfull/creative and letting the music sounds as if it is so easy listening, and has the best ending i've ever listen in one song, EVER makes me cry listening that intervaled energy drums with that fantastic lyrics! For me, the end of Wait for an Answer is the sinthesis of what power/energy/creativity at the same time is, and it makes THOMEN so unique, because im sure that any other drummer would just play a straight beat! All the love for you Thomen, and all the health to keep bringing us this wonderfull gifts!!!
Thank you sooo much, dear Luiz! What kind words! I'm blushing, really! Thanks a million! You rock!☺☺☺🥰🥰🥰
Yep it's a masterpiece, but I don't think it sounds like any other power metal album on the planet. It's a metal masterpiece ; )
@@gringochucha Totaly agree!!!! \,,/
With A Night At The Opera, Blind Guardian reached a peak in metal history, but a different kind than, let's say Imagination From The Other Side.
I had to listen this album five times to connect everything going on, every little details, and it's just outstanding. Pure Bliss.
I mean, And Then There Was Silence speaks for itself, a 14 minutes track where you never get bored, there is always somthing going on, always somehting catchy to the hears.
When i read in a interview (before the next album) that Blind Guardian wanted to move away a little from ANATO's style because it was often judged as "not easy to listen to", my heart skiped a heart beat, but at the same time, i had this voice inside me sayng "well you had to see this coming, ANATO is an UFO".
I have been a fan of BG since 2000. And a lot of that because of your mesmerising drumming technique! Thank you for being so unique and gifting us with this masterpiece!
You're welcome! Thanks to you for these kind words! 🫶🤘🏻
this song (and the whole album) is simply BG at their creative peak. an undisputed masterpiece! the drumming here is brilliant
This song maybe has my all-time favorite drums. They match each section perfectly, elevating the song to an even higher level, by several grades.
Wonderfuuuuuul!! It's more tired and difficult than i could inagine! How i mise these glorious years!
Gonna grab me a nice cold glass of peach iced tea and settle in for a good listen.
You know how to live!!! Big props
On a bad day, this is what I play (up til now it's been the version from 2003 Coburg) and by the end of the song all life burdens are easier to carry; pains are lesser; life looks more positive and beautiful. I'm delighted I was born in the generation that has such music and musicians!!!! 💙🥁🤘
'Tis a pleasure watching the master at work on my all time favourite song. \m/
This is what I answered when my son asked my what my favorite song is. It's like Bohemian rhapsody, but cooler. Thanks!
So sweet to feel the magic again!!! ❤
We are the ones who thank you for this amazing video and this wonderful performance
My all time favourite Blind Guardian song. Thanks for uploading this
The Best drummer on the world, amazing!!!
Wow! Thanks soooo much! 🫶🫶
Hell yea 🤘🤘
Ohne Worte......... Unfassbar
I Guardian non sanno cosa hanno perso....thomen the best drummer ....🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Very true, unfortunately. There's never gonna be Blind Guardians like in time of The Omen. The Bards are forever though....us fans i mean. We're here for them both/all. 🤘
@@A_Ducky I fully share your thought. blind guardians are always in my heart, and thomen will always be the strongest drummer ever
This song always gives me shivers... One of the best songs EVER! And you make it special! Respect, my friend!!!!
No entiendo como este baterista no es viral, es un crack!!
what a masterpiece this song is!! especially your drumming!! nothing to say!! just wow!!
10:14 i love this drumpart, sounds like the wardrums of the upcoming invation, so epic!!!
in addition to that thats one of my favourite BG songs ever from the best BG Album ever, such a masterpiece
12:13 OMG... Chills.
Amazing performance !!!! Better than the original and of course better than the remastered version! I always wondered what would it sound like nowadays with The Omen behind the drums!!! Thanks for the amazing performance!! You give a different note to the song! Your playing style is what made BG bombastic and epic!!
Thank you very much! Kind words! ♥️♥️
Amazing! The most EPIC song ever written. Always good to see your creativity and power in the drums. I would love to see a playthrough of Precious Jerusalem
Coming soon!
Holy shit, yes!
Battlefield please!
@@gutoes Battlefield I did already. Check my channel.
Finaly, the song I've been waiting for you to play.
Spettacolare. TOP TOP TOP 🤘🤘🤘🤘GRANDE GRANDE
Incredible. And that intro on the tom rims, had me smiling! Thank you!
This is pure genius.
I love it. Its just so awesome. There is always something going on. No boredom. Not just keeping a beat, but playing the drums like an instrument that is on the same level as the guitars.
Oh man, this was absolutely beautiful. What a pleasure to watch... Rest assured, you and the boys created some music that is already immortal and is forever in history. When people ask me "what is it that you love so much about drumming" I need only show this masterpiece; no words needed!
My favorite song from my favorite album of all time. Excellent drum work!
i wont lie, hearing you play along with this song gives me a whole new perspective on this song, incredible!
This video is a jewel in the crown of RUclips's videos... maybe they should make a "Treasure Vault" and put this there, because, folks, we are lucky to see this marvel!! To you, Thomen, just say that there is none other Omen like yourself... the intensity, the speed, the technique... just outerwordly...
I personally consider this song like your epilogue with BG and, while it's sad, sure there is (or was, back in the day) no better closure than this. Alles Bestens!!! 🤟🏻
Thomen the beast!!!! ❤
MASTERPIECE.
Wow 🤩
You can clearly see that he is having so much fun playing the song. So much passion.
Wow, Respekt! Sehr cool! Du bist der Beste! Liebe Grüße Juri
This song is a masterpiece. The last BG I really enjoyed. Thank you!
Waiting this song from the very start of the channel! I'm absolutly in love with drum session of Silence and Battlefield.
this track is orgasmic!!! so good man really proggresive the way the changes in the riddim of the drums... so adicctive!! it's like watching a condence lord of the rings movie but for your ears!!
This is the best thing i've ever heard in my life.
Jesús christ the passion my dear friend!!! The part when you sing "the crack of doom, father..." you really are an amazing drummer, greets from Mexico
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻. A masterpiece. Thanks !!
This was great!
Come on Tommy...Precious Jerusalem, please!!! 😭
We all know you can... Please!! 😩
Will come. Is planned! 🤘😉🙏
Even Thomen cannot denied that this is a freaking masterpiece! For me the last great great masterpiece from BG! Thanks Thomen for this epic performance!
Ein Meisterwerk!!!!!!!! 🥰
Oh sheeyet!
Dude, that was awesome! I always listen to this album picturing your moves in my mind, now I have the opportunity to actually SEE it.
Thanks so much for playing this epic for us.
Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷🇩🇪
I don't know if "Under the Ice" has been covered yet, but if not that'd be awesome. Opera is my favorite album from start to finish... And Coburg open air fav DVD. Got me thru some exceptionally heavy times... should rename myself Cassandra, lol
Yeah, that album is such a masterpiece. I've listened to it a million times and yet there are always new details to discover, and the drums sound absolutely massive.
@@gringochucha
Yesssssss exactly!!!!
How about an Iron Savior drum cover?
It's always a pleasure to see (and hear) you play the drums!
Absolute masterpiece, Thomen! Thanks for posting this!!
Oh!! I’ve longed for you to do this for years!! Brilliant performance!!
majesty! my favorite song BG
Is here on my channel, too. Just search for it. 🤗🤘🏻
Auf dieses Cover habe ich mich am meisten gefreut. Sehr cool :)
Freut mich, danke!
awesome! one of my favourite songs ever. thanks for this video!
Uma das minhas preferidas!!!! Isso é Metal Progressivo com muito feeling!
the outro is majestic!
Thanks Thomen for your dedication. I start playing drums more than 20 years ago listening to BG. You were of absolute inspiration for me and I brought with me your influence till now. I've even known my wife thank to BG. I remember listening to this song live in Bologna in 2003 and dancing around with my friends. You contributed to build good memories. All the best
That is awesome! Thanks for these kind words! 🥰🥰🤘
The only other drummer who can come close in power metal is Yoshiki from X Japan, but Thomen did a lot more varied stuff like on this album. Absolute drum god!
Oh the memories with this song....
My favorite part is the second half, from 9:27...
Very very nice playthrough man!!!!
Your drums speak directly to the heart, sir! You are legendary!
Thank you soooo much! Wow!
Mi cancion favorita el trabajo de percusión es sublime las figuras del bombo unicas, el sonido de toms , platillos y redoblante es acustico sin disparadores no puede ser, es un viaje en la oscuridad.
Holy shit! I haven't been this excited about clicking on a video in a long time! I love your performance on A Night at the Opera. And when the And Then There Was Silence single came out I listened to that CD like a millions times. Your drumming is so good on this!
OMG this is so cool! 😍nostalgia...
Its a dream watch you play this song wich made me goosebumps many years ago, cheers!
Fantastic.Thomen the best drummer 🤘
Epic performance, thank you Thomen!🤟
Awesome performance of an awesome song!
These are nearly 15 minutes that seems to go by only in one minute. It's so captivating.
Thank you for uploading this, Thomen! It is always a pleasure to hear your drumming. With your help last year when I asked about the 9/4 Time signature section, I could finish my transcription of this song. Having listened to the studio version to death, it's really awesome seeing you play this song on your channel, as this shows how much your drumming style has evolved since '02. Even though I am not a drummer, after listening to many bands, the energy you put into your drum performances I feel still makes you stand out as probably one of the best drummers I've heard. Wishing you all the best, and I will help support by buying the Mentalist Albums!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and seeing you play it up close is a special treat! Great upload \m/
Master piece!!!!!
I wake up , turn on my PC and first thing that I see is this gem :) Amazing job, Thomen, as always ! Love to watch you playing !
Enjoy! Thanks a lot! 🥰
Este sim é o baterista do Blind Guardian!
Best Drummer ever playing the best song ever
I cannot but to speak from my heart. Thomen, you fill our hearts with so much joy and appreciation!!
You and BG are the reason I became a composer 15 years ago, when I first listened to "A night at the opera" album.
I just felt the same way as then, watching you play and feel the lyrics of the song. I became emotional, not gonna lie.
I wanna thank you from the heaven of my heart for what you did with BG and for what you are continuing to do!!
You are something else when it comes to drumming, when it comes to passion and for that, I will forever be grateful to you!
Wishing you all the best with health and prosperity, I simply cannot wait your uploads especially when its BG songs (my first and forever love), where you put your soul into.
Thank you truly my friend, I wish I will meet you at some point! 🙏❤
Thanks sooo much, dear Nick! These are really very kind words! I'm speechless but proud to make you all happy with this! Even for me it becomes very emotional now and then! Wow! Love ya all! Never seen such loyal fans following one single ex-drummer of a band! Makes me really proud my friends! 🥰🥰🤘🤘❤🔥❤🔥
Amazing! I've always been extremely impressed by the parts you wrote for that album. By the way if requesting songs is ok, I've always been curious about Precious Jerusalem, it's basically one of my favorite drum songs ever and I've never seen a proper playthrough anywhere!
Will come up, soon! Is already planned! 😊🤗🤘🤘
@@ThomenDrumChamber Hell yeah, can't wait! 🤘
that was insane, amazing.....thank you very much!!!!!!!!
Thanks a million! 🤗
Best song ever written! And an amazing performance, thanks for this!!!!
Love this!!! Thank youuuuuu 🙌🤘
You're so welcome!
No doubt you are the number 1 drummer
Your drumming has been inspirational to me for decades and this song maybe more than anything else. Just amazing.
Você fica hipnotizado a música toda até que aos 10:28 da vontade de beber e dançar até cair!
(lará, lará, lá lará, lá lará)
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
(lará, lará, lá lará, lá lará)
Come join in our singing
And dance with us now
(lará, lará, lá lará, lá lará)
The nightmare shall be over now
There's nothing more to fear
(lará, lará, lá lará, lá lará)
The war it is over forevermore
Sensacional!!!
vaya maravilla de grupo, de canción y de batería. increíble Thomen

That was an absolute killer performance by the powerhouse Bard!! Sir Thomen I must say thank you for this and this song is on my list for Drum covers as it is a very intense song for me still.. Thank you again! Cheers! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
