I met my wife at this Wacken, and this was the first band we watched together. The Bard's Song played at our wedding last year. Blind Guardian have pretty much always been my favourite band, but they've left their mark on my life irrevocably in ways that I can't quite put into words.
In Germany, when 2 Metalheads marry, and have a baby, the first thing it learns, before walking, or even having teeth, is the Lyrics of 'The Bards Song'.
Lead singer is Hansi Kursch. He's also sung with Ayreon, and you have to be good to get invited for that. Ayreon is project of Dutch musician Arjen Lucassen. One of the Ayreon songs that Hansi sings on is The Day the World Breaks Down , with 10 other vocalists, including Simone Simons, James LaBrie and Floor Jansen.
I saw Blind Guardian for the first time in 2006 - they played a small club in St. Paul, Minnesota to about 200 people and when "Bard's song" came on, the whole audience sang it loudly (I didn't know the song 😁)... Very special moment. When they toured America in 2015, I went to a show in Baltimore, Maryland... and the club was packed. The crowd was so amped during their performance... and then, their entire merch booth sold out that night 😲
I was there and it was true magic. Won't ever forget it. Still brings me a tear whenever I think of it. True beauty of a wonderful community found in the best culture can offer.
The Bard's Song was released in 1992, and Valhalla in 1990. These are classics that all the Blind Guardian fans know and love and sing along with. When I got to see them in person, during the crowd singing part at the end, the band walked off the stage and turned off the lights. We kept singing for about 5 minutes before they came back out to finish. They have a new album coming out in September, called The God Machine. They have released 3 tracks/videos from it already, and they're all great. I particularly like 'Secrets of the American Gods'.
When I saw Guardian in 2006 at The House of Blues, we sung the last part of Valhalla for so long Hansi and the band just sat on the stage and waited for us to peter out. One of my dearest memories. I wish I still had my signed Leaves' Eyes album from that night.
This was at Wacken Open Air 2016, where 84500 visitors were in attendance, and this was on the main stage where the majority of those people fit in front of. And I didn't see that much empty space. So if there weren't 60000 then call it 50000 people, who almost universally know your song by heart well enough to sing along. Largely in tune and in time. Hansi, the man with the mic, was honestly mostly superfluous to the proceedings. What greater accomplishment could a musician aspire to, than to have your music so ingrained in the souls of so many people? And this is off an album that just celebrated its 30th birthday (released june 30th 1992). Therefore I confidently dare call it a truly timeless classic.
Beautifully said. My experience with live BG shows is that Hansi is a master of ceremonies that leads the crowd in sing-alongs. With a killer power-thrash metal band slaying is behind him. Pure magic. I want everyone that's ever loved any type of metal to get to experience a BG show *live.* Not on video. On person. There's something in the air that can't be qualified.
"This makes me so happy! I don't know why." The passion is contagious. BG has a live experience like few others I've ever experienced, and I've seen all of the greats. There's a certain X-Factor they bring, and it stems from how incredible their albums are, and how well the band comes together with the crowd to make a unique version of the song that only that show hears. BG fans are there to sing every word with Hansi, or for him if asked, and sometimes they literally won't stop singing even when they "should." Their fandom is rabid and loyal, and very special. Blind Guardian in a small club may be the single most incredible night of metal and "brotherhood" I've ever experienced.
Blind Guardian was formed in West Germany in the 80's... they have had a career in heavy metal for 30+ years, emerging from the 'power metal' scene that had given us German metal bands like Helloween, Gamma Ray, Primal Fear, and Grave Digger... The name Blind Guardian was inspired by the band Fates Warning and their 3rd album title 'Awaken the Guardian'. Their lyrics were inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy novels. Blind Guardian debuted in Europe in 1988 w/ the album "Battalions of fear" ... 'Valhalla' was from their 2nd album in 1989, 'Follow the blind'... However, the band did not get much fanfare in the 90's in the wake of grunge rock becoming commercial... but German label century Media was finally able to release their 6th album in N. America - 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth' in 1998, and the band began touring there for the first time... the response was promising, and Century Media released Blind Guardian's catalog in the USA after 2000... Each subsequent album did better in sales and each tour got bigger after 2002 after the album 'A night at the Opera' (which was also Queen's album title 😂) The nucleus of Blind Guardian are: Hansi Kursch (lead vocals), Andre Olbrich (lead guitar) and Marcus Siepen (guitar)... Frederik Ehmke (drums) joined in 2005, replacing longtime drummer Thomen Stauch; the band has used session players for bass, keyboards, backing vocals, etc. Some Blind Guardian classics: 'Into the storm'... 'Imaginations from the other side'... 'Nightfall'... 'Fly'... 'Mirror mirror'... 🤘🤘 Lead singer Hansi Kursch also worked on albums by Demons & Wizards, w/ Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer... Unfortunately, Schaffer was indicted, jailed and charged in 2021 as part of the 1/6 terror mob attack on the US Capitol... Kursch resigned from the project in the aftermath. Iced Earth (which had been signed by German labels SPV/ Steamhammer and Century Media) and Demons & Wizards, were dropped from the roster of artists.
They actually come from Krefeld, my hometown. They are pretty famous here. They come from a part of the city that is next to an old castle, the „Burg Linn“.
some of the things you say are incorrect, I don't get why this has so many likes. I would rather say the come from the thrash metal scene and not the power metal scene. they are quite different to the typical power metal bands. Their first two albums are way more thrash and speed metal than power metal. also the name of the band comes from the song Guardian of the Blind from their first album, which is a song about steven king's it. Their lyrics are generally about fantasy novels, but also sometimes movies (time what is time and goodbye my friend) or even in one case videogames (sacred worlds). Also the band was massive in the 90s. They were outside of germany especially very succesful in japan. they are one of the biggest german metal bands since then. After reading your comment I would say more information is wrong than correct.
Hansi just looks like that dad who grabs the mic at some school event or something and everyone goes "oh, I hope he doesn't embarrass himself" and he just blows everyone's mind. Which is why I actually prefer his new look to the old classic long haired metal head look. Dad-Hansi for the win!
the vocalist hansi is exactly how he looks actually, one of the nicest people you might see... epic and beautiful at the same time. and i had the privilage singing my lungs out when they played bards song live in my country. easily one of the best days of my life
Everytime I hear any live version of this song, I just have to admire Hansi's ability to restrict himself and let the crowd do their thing. This is such a beautiful ballad for him to show all of his range, which sivs through at the passages where he actually sings, but he just masterfully knows when to shut up and give the crowd space.
and then you have the drummer of heaven shall burn (who actually covered vahalla by blind guardian), who looks like a schoolteacher and he actually is one.
I've been a fan of this band since about 1998. It's times like this that I wish you and The Charismatic Voice didn't have releases at the same time on many days.
Dear Bisscute First i heard Blind Guardian in 1992. and well i was 16 years old. i have heard them al the time and i find them incredible. its a really special Music Band. You should come to Wacken an listen them live:) Best Regards from Germany.
I'm only 2 years older than this band 😆. They've been doing it since 84. I love bands that do songs based on books, or characters in books, and these guys do a large amount of that. Still putting out great music too.
Bisscute, all the instrumentalists except Frederick, the drummer are singing, they use the gang vocals either to reinforce certain parts, or to counterpoint Hansi Kürsch, the lead singer. The lead is indeed the red Ibanez, André Olbricht. The rithm is on the black Gibson, he's Marcus Siepen.
Well Biss, it's official... My dogs think I have completely lost my mind. You should have seen the look they were giving me for singing along. 😁👍 As always, BIG HUGS from Tennessee, USA! 😍
I love blind Guardian and it's one of the few bands that sound 10x better live than on studio album. They made a live dvd video around 2003, imagination through the looking glass. If you find you get a little spare time you should watch it. They are one of the best live bands going still to this day.
Hansi (the vocalist of Blind Guardian) is, together with Floor from Nightwish, Simone from Epica and a few other well known names, one of the legends of Ayreon. Now that i'm talking about it, you should react to Ayreon - The day the world breaks down.
Many years ago at a CD shop that no longer exists, I bought SOMEWHERE FAR BEYOND, recommended by a cool guy working there. After all this time, I would never imagine a new generation rocking out to them. I knew they were great, but power metal is fantasy driven metal and nowhere near what’s going on in the mainstream. But as always, great, time tested music will always live on… Long Live Blind Guardian. 🤘🏽
If Blind Guardian is in town that day and you start singing the Bard's Song on a public place, I guarantee others will join in! They're amazing live, I couldn't recommend them enough!
If you ever have the chance to experience this band live, do it. Small club or large festival. Singing The Bard Song with leterally everyone in the audience will give you goosebumps for two weeks
When I was at a Blind Guardian concert some years ago, you could hear people singing Valhalla on the way home in some random street a few blocks over like half an hour later. I wonder what the residents of the city though was going on xD
This was recorded at Wacken - Wacken is a small village in Schleswig-Holstein (northern germany). And the Wacken open Air is the largest metal festival all over the world !! Usually between 60-85 THOUSAND people !!
Heheh. Good old Blind Guardian. Not many people know the band they drew major inspiration from in their beginnings - _Fates Warning_ , particularly their album ... *drumroll* ... _Awaken The Guardian_ , last album with their old singer. But FW had a lot of fans in Germany, too - they even made a shrine for their first singer, lol.
@@BisscuteReacts Yes, especially because I've been to the Wacken Festival several times and I know exactly how great and crazy the atmosphere was there. When I see the video now and imagine that I would have been there too and how beautiful that moment must have been...
Another great song, probably my favorite of them, is "And then there was silence". Someone uploaded a HD Live version of it about 10 years ago. Very good one
Hansi is just looking like a dad xD christmas metal in Geiselwind 2011 was one of the best conserts I have been to. Valhalla was such a magic moment. The crowd sang the chorus for like 5 minutes. I never had something like this before and probably never will. And as next song I would say Mirror Mirror
I've not seen a whole yet a few different videos of folks reacting to stuff, mainly heavy metal and the likes. Though I have to say you are quite unique in this aspect I find, while quite a few just say '' they were great, they good, this & that ''. But with you, one can see in your body language and your facial expressions, it seems you really really do enjoy not only doing these videos but also the actual music and scene around it, it is quite refreshing. i hope you keep it up.
Another nice and lovely reaction. Well done. It was Wacken, so there were probably around 70-80k people. And speaking of Wacken: 4th - 6th August this year. Since you are living in germany, maybe you can make it? :-) Officially sold out, of course. But you may find some tickets to be sold online from people who got them early and they can't make it or something. A few bands to look forward to this year: ASP, Powerwolf, Arch Enemy, Avantasia, Einherjer, Epica, Feuerschwanz, Gloryhammer, Haggard, Hämatom, In Extremo, Judas Priest, Lordi, Letzte Instanz, Lacuna Coil, Tarja, Torfrock ...... In no particular order and of course there are more, but i don't want to copy the whole list.
I saw Blind Guardian in Barcelona Spain 15 days ago and almost crying listen to this song without Marcus playing the guitar due to covid19 he won't be able to take a flight to Barcelona.
Ich schulde dir noch 10👍weil ich deine videos schon so oft gesehen habe 😂 Edit : mittlerweile sind es über 20👍 die ich dir schulde. Deine Gesichtsaudrücke wenn Hansi schreit sind einfach Gold wert 🙂 Bitte Pass auf dich auf und bleib gesund 🙂
One of the all time great recorded performances! Hope you don't have any problems with it... If you do, the stuff on the Nuclear Blast and Blind Guardian's channel is problem free, so far.
A Blind Guardian Show's rating, good or bad, is based on how much singing Hansi Kürsch (Lead singer) has to do himself in The Bard's Song. The less he sings himself, the better the show. this one was top notch. The Bard's Song has become our (the fans) song to sing to Hansi instead of him singing for us. The 'don't be afraid' scream part was kinda for-shadowing (since this is only the last two songs of that show and we as the viewer haven't seen the rest of it) his vocal ability for Valhalla. Wacken Open Air sure has one of the more fun crowds in terms of metal festivals. Greetings from Germany :D
Hansi Kursch (singer) teamed up with Jon Schafer from Iced Earth to form Demons & Wizards. The first CD was awesome. Second one was decent. Worth checking out Demons & Wizards.
I think it is better to have the voice for singing when you are a singer, than having the face for it but not the voice. That is why I stay behind the drumkit :D
The Bard's Song: I want to sit next to a fire on a chilly night whilst sipping mead from a drinking horn. Valhalla: I want to bury my axe in the faces of my enemies.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .

So true, made my day 😂
Not just in Germany😏😂🤘
Actually my wife sang the bards Song to our daughter before she was Born...she still Likes it :)
No Metalhead has to learn this lyrics...it's in the DNA my friend. ;)
And the second thing is to sing Valhalla
Legend has it that when you stand on that field at Wacken, close your eyes and listen you can still hear the crowd singing in the wind.
Been there ... it's true
It is like the Catalaunian fields.. But in music
When the wind flows over the fields of Wacken, it carrys the echos of the bards song and valhalla.
Legend has it that that crowd is still singing the chorus to this day
i would take a bet on that.
Can confirm. Valhalla choruses are forever.
Still singing in my head :)
Lead singer is Hansi Kursch. He's also sung with Ayreon, and you have to be good to get invited for that.
Ayreon is project of Dutch musician Arjen Lucassen.
One of the Ayreon songs that Hansi sings on is The Day the World Breaks Down , with 10 other vocalists, including Simone Simons, James LaBrie and Floor Jansen.
ayreon is too magical and precious for this world...
Ayreon Universe - Age of Shadows Live at Tilburg 2017.... Marco, Hansi and Floor. Its so good
i like demons and wizards
I’m so happy to see Ayreon mentioned in the comment section! ❤️🤘🏼
@@страшный_симпатюгаit's my guilty pleasure

"Secrets of American gods" is awesome!"🤘

I was on 12 blind guardian concerts and never survived bards song without crying...

So much power when they play, both the band and the crowd. It really shows tru appreciation when everyone is involved and coming together like that!

Just a couple of weeks I saw them (again), my brain is still singing. I almost cry every time I listen to this live.
Hansi is one of the best. He looks like he could be a schoolteacher but he and Guardian have been doing this for years.
and then you have the drummer of heaven shall burn (who actually covered vahalla by blind guardian), who looks like a schoolteacher and he actually is one.
tears in my eyes while seeing this video and remembering this magic moment at the holy ground of Wacken
Singing along with thousands of people with tears of joy in your eyes, that's Blind guardian concert
Amazing ❤️
I've been a fan of this band since about 1998. It's times like this that I wish you and The Charismatic Voice didn't have releases at the same time on many days.
I love Blind guardian and Valhalla is on my top 3 favorite songs i ever listened to 👌🤟 Amazing reaction as always! 😁
Dear Bisscute
First i heard Blind Guardian in 1992. and well i was 16 years old. i have heard them al the time and i find them incredible. its a really special Music Band. You should come to Wacken an listen them live:)
Best Regards from Germany.
Blind guardian is the Best banda and The vocalist is amazing
Yeeeeeeeah)))) finally you did it, congratulations with this journey))))
One of my favorites band of my life. The voice that you asked for comes from Marcus, the second guitarrist.
I'm only 2 years older than this band 😆. They've been doing it since 84. I love bands that do songs based on books, or characters in books, and these guys do a large amount of that. Still putting out great music too.
One of the Greatest Bands ever came from Germany......WACKEN IS GUARDIAN!.....imagine 95.000 knows every Word!....Goosebombs......HANSI KÜRSCH 4ever!
Bisscute, all the instrumentalists except Frederick, the drummer are singing, they use the gang vocals either to reinforce certain parts, or to counterpoint Hansi Kürsch, the lead singer.
The lead is indeed the red Ibanez, André Olbricht. The rithm is on the black Gibson, he's Marcus Siepen.
Hansi is so fucking metal he doesn't need to look that way.
Hansi looks like my childhood dentist but WOW can he sing!.... yes, they can rock too! Fun reaction to watch. Thank you!
Well Biss, it's official... My dogs think I have completely lost my mind. You should have seen the look they were giving me for singing along. 😁👍 As always, BIG HUGS from Tennessee, USA! 😍
I love blind Guardian and it's one of the few bands that sound 10x better live than on studio album. They made a live dvd video around 2003, imagination through the looking glass. If you find you get a little spare time you should watch it. They are one of the best live bands going still to this day.
Agreed. Not a huge fan of all the layers of choir on the vocals on the albums. The live performances are perfect for me =D
Hansi (the vocalist of Blind Guardian) is, together with Floor from Nightwish, Simone from Epica and a few other well known names, one of the legends of Ayreon.
Now that i'm talking about it, you should react to Ayreon - The day the world breaks down.
The bards are magical, mesmerizing and powerful. And skill,technique and passion are their definition.
They are amazing ❤
Blind Guardian is an excellent band.
Oh, nice! Can't wait for it! Thank you so much for picking these songs
Many years ago at a CD shop that no longer exists, I bought SOMEWHERE FAR BEYOND, recommended by a cool guy working there. After all this time, I would never imagine a new generation rocking out to them. I knew they were great, but power metal is fantasy driven metal and nowhere near what’s going on in the mainstream. But as always, great, time tested music will always live on…
Long Live Blind Guardian. 🤘🏽
I was there a few times and the best crowd of the world stay every year in wachen open air, greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽😎🤘🏻 stay heavy
So cool❤
@@BisscuteReacts by the way you are so gorgeous
If Blind Guardian is in town that day and you start singing the Bard's Song on a public place, I guarantee others will join in! They're amazing live, I couldn't recommend them enough!
🤘🤘🔥🔥 Nice! The crowd singing along was beautiful. Great guitar solo, great songs!
What can u say about Blind Guardian? An amazing band, absolutely brilliant in every way
The deep tone is hansi too. he is a master of voice manipulation
If you ever have the chance to experience this band live, do it. Small club or large festival. Singing The Bard Song with leterally everyone in the audience will give you goosebumps for two weeks
If you like Hansi Kursch's vocals here, check out his singing in Demons & Wizards, especially Touched By The Crimson King.
When I was at a Blind Guardian concert some years ago, you could hear people singing Valhalla on the way home in some random street a few blocks over like half an hour later. I wonder what the residents of the city though was going on xD
Nice! Good choice! ;-)
Blind Guardian is legend!
I hope that the song "Mirror Mirror" by Blind Guardian will be on this channel
Hansi looks like a Substitute Teacher :) but still kills it.
Hansi sounds like Odin and looks like a substitute teacher.
This was recorded at Wacken - Wacken is a small village in Schleswig-Holstein (northern germany). And the Wacken open Air is the largest metal festival all over the world !! Usually between 60-85 THOUSAND people !!
wacken is coming up in a few weeks with a lot of bands. usually arte or ARd ZDF do livestreams also 3sat one of the mis definitely right.
By far one of my favorites 💘
Heheh. Good old Blind Guardian. Not many people know the band they drew major inspiration from in their beginnings - _Fates Warning_ , particularly their album ... *drumroll* ... _Awaken The Guardian_ , last album with their old singer. But FW had a lot of fans in Germany, too - they even made a shrine for their first singer, lol.
Very well done Lady Bisscute! Gut gemacht ✌
One of legendary bands
being on this stage having 70000 people singing your song...I would not be able to stop crying, I think
I've seen the video an incredible number of times but the Bard song gets me every time. Incredibly beautiful.
Right? its so beautiful ❤️
@@BisscuteReacts Yes, especially because I've been to the Wacken Festival several times and I know exactly how great and crazy the atmosphere was there. When I see the video now and imagine that I would have been there too and how beautiful that moment must have been...
Another great song, probably my favorite of them, is "And then there was silence". Someone uploaded a HD Live version of it about 10 years ago. Very good one
Nice reaction, this is such a majestic video and performance
It seems like you understand german too, very impressive!
Well, not every word, but she lives in germany, so she is learning.
@@BlazingDrag00n Didn't know that, thanks!
my favorite band!
i love that they even sing the guitar solo :D
Hansi is just looking like a dad xD christmas metal in Geiselwind 2011 was one of the best conserts I have been to. Valhalla was such a magic moment. The crowd sang the chorus for like 5 minutes. I never had something like this before and probably never will. And as next song I would say Mirror Mirror
I love the fact that even the is wondering what's happening. They look to each other to figure out what to do :p
It's like "wtf did we start a cult?"
Love Blind Guardian and Hansi is amazing. Found them through Hansi's work with Ayreon - such a great discovery.
Another great place to hear great singers like Hansi is to react to Ayreon performances from the Universe live concert.
I've not seen a whole yet a few different videos of folks reacting to stuff, mainly heavy metal and the likes.
Though I have to say you are quite unique in this aspect I find, while quite a few just say '' they were great, they good, this & that ''.
But with you, one can see in your body language and your facial expressions, it seems you really really do enjoy not only doing these videos but also the actual music and scene around it, it is quite refreshing. i hope you keep it up.
I can only give a like too this reaction, but I totally love your reaction
its a crowd of 80k people that sings valahala after the concert was over for 2hours
It's crasy to see someone reation to Bilnd Guardian at wacken 2016, becuase i was there and sung along with the bband!
Another nice and lovely reaction.
Well done.
It was Wacken, so there were probably around 70-80k people.
And speaking of Wacken: 4th - 6th August this year. Since you are living in germany, maybe you can make it? :-)
Officially sold out, of course. But you may find some tickets to be sold online from people who got them early and they can't make it or something.
A few bands to look forward to this year: ASP, Powerwolf, Arch Enemy, Avantasia, Einherjer, Epica, Feuerschwanz, Gloryhammer, Haggard, Hämatom, In Extremo, Judas Priest, Lordi, Letzte Instanz, Lacuna Coil, Tarja, Torfrock ...... In no particular order and of course there are more, but i don't want to copy the whole list.
I'm a simple man, I see a blind guardian video I hit the like button.
The singer's name is Hansi Kurtch.
I saw Blind Guardian in Barcelona Spain 15 days ago and almost crying listen to this song without Marcus playing the guitar due to covid19 he won't be able to take a flight to Barcelona.
The Bard is more a prayer than a song.
I was there Live and that was absolutely awesome ! Why don' t you come to Wacken too ? Thank you for Looping at this!
Still follow the Blind! You 'll never get lost!😉🤟
Hopefully more in the future ❤️
This is Wacken Biss and Wacken=Metal! Thank you girl! 🤘🏻
Ich schulde dir noch 10👍weil ich deine videos schon so oft gesehen habe 😂
Edit : mittlerweile sind es über 20👍 die ich dir schulde. Deine Gesichtsaudrücke wenn Hansi schreit sind einfach Gold wert 🙂
Bitte Pass auf dich auf und bleib gesund 🙂
One of the all time great recorded performances! Hope you don't have any problems with it...
If you do, the stuff on the Nuclear Blast and Blind Guardian's channel is problem free, so far.
Welcome to the "Hansi Experience"! 🖤🖤🖤
Every night when my little boy couldn`t sleep, i hold him in my arms singing the bard song for him until he falls asleep.
Instant goosebumps.
great reaction
That is Heavy Metal !
A Blind Guardian Show's rating, good or bad, is based on how much singing Hansi Kürsch (Lead singer) has to do himself in The Bard's Song. The less he sings himself, the better the show. this one was top notch. The Bard's Song has become our (the fans) song to sing to Hansi instead of him singing for us.
The 'don't be afraid' scream part was kinda for-shadowing (since this is only the last two songs of that show and we as the viewer haven't seen the rest of it) his vocal ability for Valhalla. Wacken Open Air sure has one of the more fun crowds in terms of metal festivals.
Greetings from Germany :D
Hansi Kursch (singer) teamed up with Jon Schafer from Iced Earth to form Demons & Wizards. The first CD was awesome. Second one was decent. Worth checking out Demons & Wizards.
2016 war ich dabei und das was sooooo geil! Wird zeit das du auch mal nach wacken kommst!😊❤
How I feel about thiskind of stuff?
PermaGoosebumps!
I think it is better to have the voice for singing when you are a singer, than having the face for it but not the voice.
That is why I stay behind the drumkit :D
Hansi used to have long hair too, but really, who cares how he looks when he can sing like this
This is a song from the 2nd album. It is still quite raw. Check out Bright eyes or Mirror Mirror for a more refined style
The Band came from Krefeld ( NRW )
He's far from his prime...still he is so incredible
believe me it was even better in the crowd....
Hansi looks like a dad who's ready to get his kids after school.
They would sing till the sun came up if he asked them to.
He looks like a Teacher :P
The Bard's Song: I want to sit next to a fire on a chilly night whilst sipping mead from a drinking horn.
Valhalla: I want to bury my axe in the faces of my enemies.
You actually have a perfectly centered dot on your forehead. That's sick 🤘😭🤘
