I have a DVD of this concert. Manowar got like every previous band member together to make this concert. Which is why this song has 3 drummers, and 3 different guitar solos in a row. They tried to make it as epic as possible. I think they may have succeeded.
Actually, most often when MANOWAR sings about war its about the war for true metal and the war every person goes through in their lives. The fight to be true to yourself and have the courage to become the person you want to be.
That was the Absolute Power show. There were 25,000 people in attendance for the Earthshaker festival. It had all the past and present members of Manowar onstage. At previous big festivals they've had vikings fighting onstage to various songs, with video presentations to the various songs. Manowar has done a version of Nessun Dorma, live at the Gods of Metal festival in Milan, they also played at the Elvis commemoration show in Germany, performing an American Trilogy, with a full orchestra.
I was there at Earthshaker Fest in Geiselwind. No way were there 250k people, 25k at max. Still this rendition of Battle Hymn was the greatest live moment I ever experienced.

VinAnd Sori MUST check out BLACK WIND FIRE & STEEL by Manowar. Studio version PLEASE. The screammm it that is unbelievable! *THUMBS UP IF AGREE FOR THEM!
Heavy Metal or no Metal at all, wimps and Posers... leave the hall. Manowar is as brilliant and as cheesy as metal gets. If they didn't make stupidly good music they'd be the laughing stock of the scene. But when you compose "Hail and Kill" and "The Bridge of Death" you can be as out there as you want. There are three kinds of people in metal 1) Manowar fans 2) Secret Manowar fans 3) People with no sense of humour.
@@onsesejoo2605 I've always resented the term over the top to describe Manowar. To me that label belongs to bands and artists like Alice Cooper, Kiss, Iron Maiden; bands that use an excessive amount of theatrics, stage props, light shows to convey their music live. Iron Maiden having a 10 foot tall Eddie on stage is OTT, Alice Cooper having a cyclops and guillotine on stage is OTT, Gene Simmons breathing fire and throwing up blood is OTT. Manowar singing about the primal, warrior spirit of heavy metal music isn't OTT.
@@DominicanManowarFan Iron Maiden was very antithesis of what was going on when they started in the 70's. Props and proper show was a no no due to (British) punk rock and Maiden put them on what with they could afford from the start. Alice Cooper has had the show since early 70's as well, Kiss likewise.
I was at this awesome show back in 2005 in Geiselwind. But the song is original from 1982. This was a one time reunion show with 3 drummers and 3 guitarists. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
That was the final show at the Earthshaker Fest in 2005 in Geiselwind, Germany. Here's the Billing of that 2-day-festival: www.setlist.fm/festival/2005/earthshaker-fest-2005-1bd6b9f8.html There were also fan events for Manowar back then.
This is one of their more subdued songs. "Hail and Kill" really shows off Eric Adams mind blowing vocal range! Fun fact: In 1984 Manowar was entered into the Guiness Book of World Records for the loudest performance.
They actually broke their own record, essentially setting the record twice. Final count was 129.5 decibels, which is comparable to ground zero of a space shuttle launch.
@@IvoryElvenson I was there,too! First evening they played their first 3 albums in a row: Battle Hymns, Into glory Ride ans Hail to England!!! The second evening they played the next three albums: Sign of the Hammer,Fighting the World and Kings of Metall! This was one of the best concert expieriences i had. Because i growned up with their 80`s Masterpieces,as Ross the Boss was guitar player! Unbeatable memories!
This song is from 1982 and has nothing to do with the Jihad. This was a reunion show having all past members playing on this song. As a Patreon you have to do Manowar - Dark Avenger. RIP Scott Columbus! Rest in jail Karl Logan.
Jihad just means struggle in Arabic. It's a term for conflict, it doesn't necessarily mean an Islamic Jihad but due to the language it comes from that's the context
"There is no charge for da haircut & da bullets come free. My uncle Sam sent a letter says he's got a mission for me. Now I am a Ranger not stranger". Manowar r legends & i brought da album when i lived in Alice Springs Australia in da 80 s
Manowar in the states is not as popular as they are in Europe and further east. They are as popular as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest there. That crowd was for them and them alone. HAIL MANOWAR THE KINGS OF METAL!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
They're also really big in South America. These guys sell out stadiums in other countries. Here in the US they'd have a hard time filling up a small club
This taken from the live DVD called Manowar The Absolute Power....it is one the best live dvd i own and watch very often. It was the Earth Shaker Festival in 2005 and Manowar headlined it and had current and past members present in one big celebration of Manowar.....
This was for their massive absolute power show..it was their gig..no opener..it was to honor past drummers past guitarists on one stage one night..they have been around since 1980..they still fill stadiums..glad U got manowar on your radar finally
This set closer from the 2005 Earthshaker Fest in Germany, from the 2006 DVD *_The Day the Earth Shook - The Absolute Power_* is IN-sane! The DVD has its own Wikipedia page, but here's some highlights: Not only did the 2-hour show feature _two_ ex-drummers and _two_ ex-guitarists, they also had the 50 member *Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic Orchestra.* It was a retrospect show, but in addition to this extended version of _Battle Hymn_ there was also _Herz aus Stahl_ - a German version of _Heart of Steel_ - which is *really* worth seeing. Seriously.
Really? Blood of My Enemies? Thor (the powerhead)? Warriors of the World? Pleasure Slave? Hail and Kill? Gloves or Metal? Guyana? The Bridge of Death? Return of the Warlord?
@UCSnNLcHFWGBAC0rwG0YiwFQ I'm not sure what I'm more dismayed at, your reponse or the fact I forgot to put Gates of Valhalla on my list!! I personally like their middle era material the most

Year History and the are Headliners for so many Years.Joey is one of the Best Metal Bass player and Eric's Voice is so good,that he sung NESSU DORMA (italian Roots)....definatly NOT a song about Djihad,but about VIKING History against England.See it like a Hero Warrior Comic comes alive....
Vin and Sori, this featured all members who had played in the band from 1982-2008. This was at the Earthshaker event at Geiselwind in Germany. It also featured a 100 piece choir and 100 piece orchestra as well.
I think SAVATAGE, one of the most underrated bands ever, deserve some attention here....Hall of the mountain king, Gutter Bullet, 24 hours ago, when the crowds are gone, summer's rain, Tonight He Grins Again, believe, sleep etc etc If you havent even heard of them before, thats ok.. as i said, one of the most underrated bands....
@@andreaspedersen3952 no he had Problems with the lyrics of the track pleasure slave and Joey kicked him out for that. I can totally understand Ross in this part because it's a great song but the cringe noises in the beginning and in the song ruined it and the lyrics too.
Their stage set up and show for "hymn of immortal warriors" One of manowar's greatest songs. Beautiful. They have the fire, a full size viking ship, a funeral pyre, Odin, actors... Check it out
They came out of NYC in 1982 they were a big act regionally they used to play the classic rock club L'amour the rock capital of Brooklyn. They refused to accept invites to be an opening act for the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy etc. They became a stadium act in Europe but for the last 30 years they been a club or small theater act in the United States sadly. Their first first 6 albums were amazing. And I'm going on record saying Eric Adams is the best vocalist in Metal. He's a trained opera singer and used to sing in a church choir.
Thanks for doing this one! I was watching from the sound booth that night with my wife. Amazing show with all former and then current members of Manowar. Amazing!
MANOWAR KILLS!! Their song Defender was one of the main reasons I got into metal. You should check out the studio version with Orson Welles. It's awesome!
It baffles the mind why someone would pick this song... Can't wait to see them live this summer. Manowar are currently on their farewell tour, so if you guys wanna see them live - now is your last chance. Most of Manowar's songs are in a similar topic to this one, it's about metal, fighting, honour, killing, etc. Many consider it cheesy, but they do what they do well and it's a hell of show. It's always uplifting, so Vin, if you need gym music - Manowar fight songs is what you gotta put on! :D
you know how hard it is to coordinate 3 drummers? espescially to a song like this where one could easily break out a blast beat or a gravity roll mid-riff? great stuff man \mm/
They had all of their previous guitarists and drummers on the show. Both Donnie Hamzik and Rhino (drummers) had appeared only in one album before this show while Scott Columbus was in the rest of them. Donnie was always my favorite Manowar drummer (appeared in their debut album) and I thought he did the best job here too. What a fantastic stage presence. Also, I bet Vin would've liked the original recording a lot too even though he said the points came mostly from the live show. And man, they need to hear songs like Hail And Kill, Guyana and Bridge of Death too.
YES YES SO MUCH YES! This was the first solo I learned for playing in a band! We didn't ever get anywhere or play live, but during practice we wanted to play this and the guy on lead guitars at the time taught me this solo. That was in my 3rd year of guitar (2003, I started in 2000). His like, 10th year, so he was better than me at the time (he doesn't play anymore). I knew other solos, but never ones I was planing on doing in a band. This song holds a special place in my heart!
This is it people... Can't top this. The ultimate heavy metal hymn played by every member this ultimate heavy metal band ever had. Offcourse you have to look through the cheese, but fking hell... This track pumps the adrenaline fueled blood through your veins, muscles and heart. Check her out at the 25:50 point. ManOwaR hormones got to her and she wants to get conquered in an animalistic sexual way hahaha. This isn't even music to storm a castle to, this makes you want to invade an entire country and claim it as your kingdom. If you can't feel this you're clueless. First 6 albums are the definition of epicness. After that it turned into simplistic cosplay crap though.
This song makes me incredibly happy. Happy that I'm into metal. Happy that I saw them perform one last time a week ago. Happy that there are others out there who 'get' Manowar.
Manowar have an emotional appeal to me. I was about fourteen, and my brother had a Manowar cover band. I loved it, I went to every concert. So Manowar came to play in our city in Brazil in 1995, what was then an absurd rarity (I live in Brasília, capital of Brazil, where at the time almost no great band played). It was my first show of what for us was a great international band (and still is). I still love the songs and I listen often. My brother's band still meets from time to time and is always a great party between metal friends and rockers. You have to listen to "Kill with power" and "Blood of My Enemies" live!
Yeah man.i understand what karl did was totally unacceptable..but we cant deny that he step his best up to fill ross the boss's place..and that was a really mounting high task to do..maybe he's not as great as ross ,but we have to accept that he's pretty good at doing that..aside his dark side..just my opinion.cheers
This is a special time, because this is every member that's ever been in the band, one or two pasted, their fans are what drives the band, and they have been around since 1982 and are still playing

Speaking about that concert it was a special one First they played some of the song with an Orchestra Second they played a brand new song Third they managed to reunited all the former members of the band for the show They also tried to get a good friend of the band to do a part on one song but unfortunately he couldn't make it, That good friend was the great Cristopher Lee (Saruman from lord of the Rings)
It's so strange how you see it so differently. I loved Manowar back in their glory days, but seeing this... makes me just sad. But it also makes me shiver, knowing how great the song was without all that crap.
I never expected you guys would delve into Manowar - these guys were a staple in my pump-up tape before a football game or wrestling match... if you guys are at all fans of Roman mythology, check out 'Achilles; Agony and Ecstasy in eight parts' -- ok, it's almost 30 minutes, but if you like mythology, it's amazing
If it was your first experience on Manowar let me tell you that your life just can't be the same anymore, now you know the true and more epic song in the history of music
Manowar - Secret of steel Virgin Steele - The burning of Rome Doomsword - Heathen Assault Battleroar - Death before disgrace Omen - Don't fear the night
@@IntergalacticApeMan Of course all of them would be great suggestions, if you ask me Death Rider is my favourite Omen and Road of Kings by Manilla Road , so no need for an argument.
Another fun fact Manowar went into the Guinness Book Of Records in 2008 with a concert in Bulgaria. They had the longest metal concert by a single performer at 5 hours 1 minute The set list was like 45 to 50 songs.
That wasnt a crowd, they have had a Concert in the Netherlands 120.000 fans showed up it was next to an Airport yet we couldnt hear the Planes start or Land, but because of all the ppl there we stood knee deep in the mud. It was AMAZING!
Thank you patreons for this! This was one of my daďs favorite bands back in the day. Black Wind, Fire and Steel, Carry On, Guyana (Cult of the Damned), Bridge of Death, Blood of my Enemies or Hail and Kill are some great songs 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 hail Manowarriors! HELLOWEEN ☆ KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS 🎃
One of the best songs ever written. FULL STOP Guys, if you seriously don't know Manowar well do yourselves a favour and get every album. You'll be glad you did. Great, fun, feel good, life affirming metal \m/
VinAnd Sori, now you have done it. Since I began attending to reaction videos I have pondered how I might actually introduce Manowar to people. I've been away for a few weeks, working, and now I come back to an Internet I don't recognize. When I left one of my fave TH-camrs burst a bothersome bubble in my head by reacting to *the perfect* first-time song from The Smashing Pumpkins; now it's around the middle of April and you guys come out with some Weird Al and MANOWAR? How long has this be-?... How is it that Lost In Vegas...is - ... Vocal Coach Analyzes Manowar... It looks like someone's girlfriend is having an extrasensory experience with 'Silent Lucidity' over there... I am unsure as to whom I owe the unexplained pleasure, yet I surely am grateful to someone. One of your our best Internet friends you didn't know you have, udspn
I think Sori you will especially love this: It’s time you reviewed a second QUEENSRYCHE (another Seattle band) song. Vin loved ‘Eyes Of A Stranger’ last year. I recommend ‘Silent Lucidity’ their biggest hit. It went Top 10 in 91 and was nominated for Grammys and AMAs and nominated for 5 MTV Video awards, winning one, beating R.E.M.s Losing My Religion in the Viewers Choice category. It is a beautifully lush ballad with strings by Michael Kamen of Metallica fame as well as many film scores. The album Empire went triple platinum and is their biggest seller, even though ‘94’s Promised Land debuted at number 3 on Billboard. Queensryche is a band that deserves your attention. You will love it so much I think. Video is great too. Please use the studio version or official video version. No good quality live clips. Trust me. Sooo good.
First saw them 1984 at Hammersmith Odeon and will be there for there final show on English soil in Birmingham on the 20th April. Found them when I was into twisted sister and read an interview in sounds magazine and dee snider was challenging manowar to a fight. Manowar responded by challenging sister to a playoff to see who was the loudest and powerfullest. Went out and and bought battle hymns loved manowar ever since

Actually, most often when MANOWAR sings about war its about the war for true metal and the war every person goes through in their lives. The fight to be true to yourself and have the courage to become the person you want to be.

One of the greatest songs ever made by possibly the greatest band ever!
MANOWAR KILLS!! Their song Defender was one of the main reasons I got into metal. You should check out the studio version with Orson Welles. It's awesome!
It baffles the mind why someone would pick this song... Can't wait to see them live this summer. Manowar are currently on their farewell tour, so if you guys wanna see them live - now is your last chance.
Most of Manowar's songs are in a similar topic to this one, it's about metal, fighting, honour, killing, etc. Many consider it cheesy, but they do what they do well and it's a hell of show. It's always uplifting, so Vin, if you need gym music - Manowar fight songs is what you gotta put on! :D
Manowar - Warriors of the World and Kings Of Metal.
Its also a music about being a Metal fan. Specifically the more traditional vein. It is a metaphor as well.
Wimps and Posers LEAVE THE HALL!
Heavy Metal, or no metal at all...
Has manowar finished the song yet?
The Gods Say, MANOWAR is forever played in the Halls of Valhalla!!!
ManowaR will never finish their songs! Scott started his mission in heaven!
Nope
you know how hard it is to coordinate 3 drummers? espescially to a song like this where one could easily break out a blast beat or a gravity roll mid-riff? great stuff man \mm/
Manowar= Masters of long endings! You can't get closer to never ending, without never ending.
the key thing here: it was a reunion show, they had past members playing simultaniously, hence three drummers
If you're going to do Manowar, you have to do Warriors Of The World and/or Call To Arms.
Both are great songs, but you might be on the wrong track there, buddy. Battle Hymn was a great choice, imo.
@@band77one hail and kill \m/
No matter what one may think of their image, Manowar have been one of the most innovative Metal bands ever.
Havent had time to watch a full video in a long time. I miss you guys. I love Manowar! Great song, Great Talk, great people! 🤗
They had all of their previous guitarists and drummers on the show. Both Donnie Hamzik and Rhino (drummers) had appeared only in one album before this show while Scott Columbus was in the rest of them. Donnie was always my favorite Manowar drummer (appeared in their debut album) and I thought he did the best job here too. What a fantastic stage presence. Also, I bet Vin would've liked the original recording a lot too even though he said the points came mostly from the live show. And man, they need to hear songs like Hail And Kill, Guyana and Bridge of Death too.
YES YES SO MUCH YES! This was the first solo I learned for playing in a band! We didn't ever get anywhere or play live, but during practice we wanted to play this and the guy on lead guitars at the time taught me this solo. That was in my 3rd year of guitar (2003, I started in 2000). His like, 10th year, so he was better than me at the time (he doesn't play anymore). I knew other solos, but never ones I was planing on doing in a band. This song holds a special place in my heart!
This is it people... Can't top this. The ultimate heavy metal hymn played by every member this ultimate heavy metal band ever had.
Offcourse you have to look through the cheese, but fking hell... This track pumps the adrenaline fueled blood through your veins, muscles and heart.
Check her out at the 25:50 point. ManOwaR hormones got to her and she wants to get conquered in an animalistic sexual way hahaha. This isn't even music to storm a castle to, this makes you want to invade an entire country and claim it as your kingdom. If you can't feel this you're clueless. First 6 albums are the definition of epicness. After that it turned into simplistic cosplay crap though.
Finally. Thank you guys!
This song makes me incredibly happy. Happy that I'm into metal. Happy that I saw them perform one last time a week ago. Happy that there are others out there who 'get' Manowar.
Another great reaction guys! Loved it! Respect!
26:33 Queensrÿche - Empire
You will get some great talking points from the lyrics, Vin. It would make a great reaction video :)
More of a 80s guy, so I loved: Defender, Crown and the ring, hail and kill, "Black wind, fire & steel", blow your speakers, Heart of steel...
Manowar have an emotional appeal to me. I was about fourteen, and my brother had a Manowar cover band. I loved it, I went to every concert. So Manowar came to play in our city in Brazil in 1995, what was then an absurd rarity (I live in Brasília, capital of Brazil, where at the time almost no great band played). It was my first show of what for us was a great international band (and still is). I still love the songs and I listen often. My brother's band still meets from time to time and is always a great party between metal friends and rockers. You have to listen to "Kill with power" and "Blood of My Enemies" live!
the ticket price for a ManowaR show is $100 or more. and worth every penny.
Thx for reacting this epic masterpiece !!! What a show ! 🤘
I have this DVD (also most of the live DVDs). Very powerful version. Unfortunately, it is difficult to see this version with Karl Logan... :-(
Yeah man.i understand what karl did was totally unacceptable..but we cant deny that he step his best up to fill ross the boss's place..and that was a really mounting high task to do..maybe he's not as great as ross ,but we have to accept that he's pretty good at doing that..aside his dark side..just my opinion.cheers
Manowar!!
This is a special time, because this is every member that's ever been in the band, one or two pasted, their fans are what drives the band, and they have been around since 1982 and are still playing

Speaking about that concert it was a special one
First they played some of the song with an Orchestra
Second they played a brand new song
Third they managed to reunited all the former members of the band for the show
They also tried to get a good friend of the band to do a part on one song but unfortunately he couldn't make it, That good friend was the great Cristopher Lee (Saruman from lord of the Rings)
Nunca me habia metido a un video reaccion tan rapido!!
Hail From Chile!!!!!
OMG, I have actually been to that show, the Earthshaker festival in Geiselwind(Germany) in 2005. Just 90 minutes away from home. Nice reaction!
Hi Vin and Sori!
I enjoy your videos.
Thanks for doing Manowar!!
Listen to the studio version of that song.
Great stuff!
Have a great week!!!🤟
Glad you guys loved it.
Try Mountains next by them.
It's so strange how you see it so differently. I loved Manowar back in their glory days, but seeing this... makes me just sad. But it also makes me shiver, knowing how great the song was without all that crap.
I never expected you guys would delve into Manowar - these guys were a staple in my pump-up tape before a football game or wrestling match... if you guys are at all fans of Roman mythology, check out 'Achilles; Agony and Ecstasy in eight parts' -- ok, it's almost 30 minutes, but if you like mythology, it's amazing
If it was your first experience on Manowar let me tell you that your life just can't be the same anymore, now you know the true and more epic song in the history of music
Manowar - Secret of steel
Virgin Steele - The burning of Rome
Doomsword - Heathen Assault
Battleroar - Death before disgrace
Omen - Don't fear the night
Holy shit, someone here actually requesting USPM and epic heavy metal, are you me? Seconding all these, esp Secret of Steel.
Also:
Domine - Eternal champion
Manowar - Mountains
Manilla Road - Dreams of Eschaton
Solstice - The sleeping Tyrant
Really? If you could have Battle Cry by Omen? Or Deathrider? The Axeman? Die By the Blade?
@@spearhead6020 I would pick Dreams of Eschaton, but thinking of them, maybe The Deluge is going to work better.
@@IntergalacticApeMan Of course all of them would be great suggestions, if you ask me Death Rider is my favourite Omen and Road of Kings by Manilla Road , so no need for an argument.
Another fun fact Manowar went into the Guinness Book Of Records in 2008 with a concert in Bulgaria. They had the longest metal concert by a single performer at 5 hours 1 minute
The set list was like 45 to 50 songs.
eric adan one of the great metal vocalists says ronnie james gave in an interview in bulgaria descance scott columbus R I P
They were once the loudest band in the world- held a Guiness world record
That wasnt a crowd, they have had a Concert in the Netherlands 120.000 fans showed up it was next to an Airport yet we couldnt hear the Planes start or Land, but because of all the ppl there we stood knee deep in the mud. It was AMAZING!
Yes!! At last some Manowar! Thank you for that. One of the best heavy metal bands out there.
This video is from one of their tours where every member of the band past and present were there
Thank you patreons for this! This was one of my daďs favorite bands back in the day. Black Wind, Fire and Steel, Carry On, Guyana (Cult of the Damned), Bridge of Death, Blood of my Enemies or Hail and Kill are some great songs 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 hail Manowarriors! HELLOWEEN ☆ KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS 🎃
Battle Hymn's is their first and best c.d. in my opinion.....LOVE IT
See Iron Maiden this summer! If you want to see the best show of the summer.
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!! You guys are ROCK STARS!!!
One of the best songs ever written. FULL STOP
Guys, if you seriously don't know Manowar well do yourselves a favour and get every album. You'll be glad you did.
Great, fun, feel good, life affirming metal \m/
VinAnd Sori, now you have done it. Since I began attending to reaction videos I have pondered how I might actually introduce Manowar to people.
I've been away for a few weeks, working, and now I come back to an Internet I don't recognize. When I left one of my fave TH-camrs burst a bothersome bubble in my head by reacting to *the perfect* first-time song from The Smashing Pumpkins; now it's around the middle of April and you guys come out with some Weird Al and MANOWAR? How long has this be-?... How is it that Lost In Vegas...is - ... Vocal Coach Analyzes Manowar... It looks like someone's girlfriend is having an extrasensory experience with 'Silent Lucidity' over there...
I am unsure as to whom I owe the unexplained pleasure, yet I surely am grateful to someone.
One of your our best Internet friends you didn't know you have,
udspn
Best reunion live performance ever by a band. Period. Other bands play, Manowar kills!
I think Sori you will especially love this: It’s time you reviewed a second QUEENSRYCHE (another Seattle band) song. Vin loved ‘Eyes Of A Stranger’ last year. I recommend ‘Silent Lucidity’ their biggest hit. It went Top 10 in 91 and was nominated for Grammys and AMAs and nominated for 5 MTV Video awards, winning one, beating R.E.M.s Losing My Religion in the Viewers Choice category. It is a beautifully lush ballad with strings by Michael Kamen of Metallica fame as well as many film scores. The album Empire went triple platinum and is their biggest seller, even though ‘94’s Promised Land debuted at number 3 on Billboard. Queensryche is a band that deserves your attention. You will love it so much I think. Video is great too. Please use the studio version or official video version. No good quality live clips. Trust me. Sooo good.
Speaking of two drummers, you should do "Contaminate Me" live at the Rockafeller by Leprous. You guys liked Ihsahn a lot, he's in that performance.
thats not a crowd, thats an army
In this song are playing all members of Manowar 3 drummers and 3 guitarrista or anything.
I love that ol boy was like 2 drummers, and she is like, nope...3. LOL love you all. Keep doing great reactions.
Legend has it they still haven't finished the song, n haven't finished the concert yet
About friggin time!! you should try more Manowar songs, all of them are fucking epic
I moved to Germany when I was 13. Manowar was the first band I heard and I was hooked!
First saw them 1984 at Hammersmith Odeon and will be there for there final show on English soil in Birmingham on the 20th April. Found them when I was into twisted sister and read an interview in sounds magazine and dee snider was challenging manowar to a fight. Manowar responded by challenging sister to a playoff to see who was the loudest and powerfullest. Went out and and bought battle hymns loved manowar ever since
I saw Manowar here in Florida about 13 years ago in a club.
They are a great band.
Seen them live countless times. The best metal band ever. The kings of metal. Death to the false ones.
Y'all should have seen it to the end they had one hell of a fireworks show at the end, the longest I've ever seen.
