Problem is: there are NO bands LIKE Blind Guardian. I fell in love with their music at the age of 12, and since then, there has been no band like them. NOT ONE. no matter how good the others are.
@@enriquefelixberrio7108 You cant compare Queen and Blind Guardian. Queen has paved the way for a whole genre including its subs, but you cant compare the bands styles. In the Heavy Metal headgenre, BG are in a league of its own, as are Queen in their respective fields (as not only one thing applys to them)
Eeeh… Maiden honestly started really sucking after 1987, with the only exception being The X-Factor because they dared to explore new sounds and its superb music
Haha no kidding. Probably the best sounding concert dvd I own. You can hear everything clearly - the guitars, the vocals, the drums, and the crowd. Pretty much flawless.
So true and also sad D: Hansis voice is unique .... no one can sing like him and NO other band has a style that comes close to BG :/ When this band dies a great part of power metal dies with them ... but the bard's songs will remain :)
out of every band that could have ever been Lord of the Rings based I'm thrilled that it's a band that is not only amazing, but just as good, if not better, live
This has got to be the best live show opening songs of all time. Possibly the best album opening track of all time too. And the best power metal album of all time. From the best power metal band of all time.
Bling Guardian is one of the few metal bands i have ever heard , that i like the live versions of their songs more than the studio ones xD... They get much more "filled" and "heavy" with the crowd ,etc And ofc a great example is into the storm , if anyone has heard the studio version would understand this:P . BG OWNS \m/
I can't really say I dislike any of their albums. Good bands are able to develop over time, and change their sound, bringing something new with every album. Blind Guardian have remained awesome throughout their career.
ya you just gotta love how blind guardian can get the crowd really riled up its magic if youve ever been to one of their conecerts you feel likes there sum super charged energy in the air...and to the guy who said dress metal i say to you wtf?! metal is about wearing w/e shirt w/e jeans and having your hair like w/e and just going out and enjoying the music metal is music for people who dont give ahsit about looks we come togehter to headbang and enjoy the best genre ever concived by man
This guys should make concert albums only. Seriously, every fucking song from them turns from "meh" to "holy shit this is a masterpiece" after watching live version for me
I only know blind guardian since 3months.. been into metal for like 10years now, why didny anybody force me to listen to this ? this is SO GOOD, after 1 listen to the whole nightfall album (which I immediatly played again) that band became my favorite band of all time, and now I see what they do live is magic and that I missed the show here in quebec city which was about 1week before I discovered them, please ppl dont let anybody miss that band , humanity needs this :P
@LMTR14 IMO, Nightfall In Middle Earth changed BG for the better. But I guess our musical opinions differ. Either way I love all metal and will support similar metal bands FOREVER! \m/>.
Before someone takes of naoaceitawhatever's comment - Hansi can for sure sing the high notes live. Sure he sometimes drops down an octave or sings counter melody, but his style of singing is much more abrasive and demanding than some of the more "clean" power vocalists' styles. Surely you cant expect him to keep it up night after night for months? And it gives their live shows a raw edge, suits the epic war-torn content of their music perfectly imho anyway.
It's kinda funny to watch this because I just think of them as the Silmarillion characters and I keep expecting to actually see Melkor and Ungoliant singing...
they are like my favorite band.i always listen to them and they are awesome (specially when you feel down ;))their lives just kick some serious ass. dragons,sorceries and Blind Guardian!!!! \m/
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 I have the same problem, but not because of when I was born. I just don't really find out about bands until after they've already peaked. But it's OK, because the songs are all recorded and will live forever thanks to digital technology. Blind Guardian will NEVER DIE!
@feinster500gzucker the studio's are confined. Since its an enclosed space, there is a weird change in the sound that is subtle. Also live performences also benifit from the crowds positive support, dunno why but it gives good vibes.
Agree with Atremious.. @vguyver, BG is -huge.- Even here in the States where they're significantly less well known, they're still quite popular. I mean, they did the theme for the game Sacred 2, and the game gave them a full in-game "concert" cinematic. That's pretty classy.
@weltenpilgerer Yeah, they do. I was just at a live show last night, and they did play Mirror Mirror, the Bard's Song, Nightfall, etc. And by the gods it was EPIC.
Oh,i've read it dude!Infinite stories too,and some other books(Narn I Hin Hurin etc)Yeah,the movies where in fact a lot diferent...Im gonna check now the anime,ty for the advise
The chorus, the way i interpret it, is like all the characters, singing how, following the will of the One, they will push through the dark times ahead (dark times that had already begun on this song and explained on Nightfall)
Yeah, pretty much all I listen to is power metal. My friend showed me DragonForce a couple of years ago, my first learnings of power metal, and I've loved it since. I was gonna do a bunch of Blind Guardian covers but I don't have anything that freaking takes videos.
Hansi is a fine singer . Probably some people think he can´t sing high because of he doesn´t have a clean voice , like André Matos perhaps. Anyway, Hansi's voice is very powerful indeed.
Problem is: there are NO bands LIKE Blind Guardian. I fell in love with their music at the age of 12, and since then, there has been no band like them. NOT ONE. no matter how good the others are.
listen to persuader, and savage circus
Дружище! У каждого свой вкус. Они безусловно классные, но есть много других хороших команд!🇺🇦💯🤘🤘🤘
Queen
@@enriquefelixberrio7108 You cant compare Queen and Blind Guardian. Queen has paved the way for a whole genre including its subs, but you cant compare the bands styles. In the Heavy Metal headgenre, BG are in a league of its own, as are Queen in their respective fields (as not only one thing applys to them)
@@McDark84I was just kidding due the fact Queen influence is strong here.
His voice translates from studio to stage perfectly. Great stuff.
As an album opener, this is right up there with "Aces High" on Maiden's "Powerslave" album. They're definitely the spiritual successors to Maiden.
Eeeh… Maiden honestly started really sucking after 1987, with the only exception being The X-Factor because they dared to explore new sounds and its superb music
@@gomongio you've got bad taste if you think Maiden's only good music is the x factor.
Marcus Siepen is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
Haha no kidding. Probably the best sounding concert dvd I own. You can hear everything clearly - the guitars, the vocals, the drums, and the crowd. Pretty much flawless.
the best performance of this song in youtube
Silmarillion related album. Nightfall in middle earth is a masterpiece, period.
I love imagintaions and A night at the opera. But middie earth. Is fucking awesome.
thomen on drums
long hair
hansi fully sings the high parts
good old times! :-)
So true and also sad D: Hansis voice is unique .... no one can sing like him and NO other band has a style that comes close to BG :/ When this band dies a great part of power metal dies with them ... but the bard's songs will remain :)
Is making me cry your hobby?
One of the greatest males voices in metal!!!!!!
out of every band that could have ever been Lord of the Rings based I'm thrilled that it's a band that is not only amazing, but just as good, if not better, live
Holy Cannoli these guys are awesome! Never heard of them till now. Just happened to stumble into them on Allmusic.
I love how this is shot- pro cameras, but also some handhelds from within the crowd- gives you the feeling of being there!
Imaginations through the looking glass...
One of the best live albums ever
Nightfall in Middle-Earth :)
Man, BG are so incredible live, it's almost illegal to see them play. Wish I could attend a concert of theirs one of these days...
This has got to be the best live show opening songs of all time. Possibly the best album opening track of all time too. And the best power metal album of all time. From the best power metal band of all time.
Blind Guardian are coming back to Greece...
"How I need it
How I need it
How I need it"
Oh it s sweet how the
Darkness floating around
I love them ! Hansi has got a amazing voice !!!
It always sounds like ... just amazing ^^.

If they ever make a Simarilian film,it should be flooded with Blind guardian music! xD!
I can't really say I dislike any of their albums. Good bands are able to develop over time, and change their sound, bringing something new with every album. Blind Guardian have remained awesome throughout their career.
If you have ever read the silmarillion, this song makes even more sense then before.
Go BG ^^
This album is an absolute masterpiece

i was 2 times at their concert and I never got enough. I want again.
blind guardian es unas de mi mejores bandas de metal aleman viva el metalllllllll por ssiempre
I only know blind guardian since 3months.. been into metal for like 10years now, why didny anybody force me to listen to this ? this is SO GOOD, after 1 listen to the whole nightfall album (which I immediatly played again) that band became my favorite band of all time, and now I see what they do live is magic and that I missed the show here in quebec city which was about 1week before I discovered them, please ppl dont let anybody miss that band , humanity needs this :P
blind guardian live at zaragoza was the best !!
it's one of the better band of the wolrd
OMFG, Hansi's got one hell of a voice!! This song is freaking SWEET!! :D
i was looking for not a live edition of this song in youtube,BUT WTF,THIS IS WAY BETTER.
gosh I love them... can't get tired of hearing their music
I love this band so much...*sigh* Hopefully I'll get to see 'em live one day.
@LMTR14 IMO, Nightfall In Middle Earth changed BG for the better. But I guess our musical opinions differ. Either way I love all metal and will support similar metal bands FOREVER! \m/>.
Oh, in terms of metal singers, he's not a power metal frontman, but Mats Leven has an amazing vocal style too;
This band needs to come back to America sometime soon.
Before someone takes of naoaceitawhatever's comment - Hansi can for sure sing the high notes live.

i consider myself lucky for being able to go and see them live!!! there will be others that wont be able to see them live at all!!
They sound amazing live
It's kinda funny to watch this because I just think of them as the Silmarillion characters and I keep expecting to actually see Melkor and Ungoliant singing...
intooo thee stoormmmm.....refrao fodao dessa musica
they are like my favorite band.i always listen to them and they are awesome (specially when you feel down ;))their lives just kick some serious ass.
dragons,sorceries and Blind Guardian!!!!
\m/

the singer's badass
how I need them to come back to Toronto!!
a really good song this is the first time ve listen to them and ya they are great
Que viva por siempre el power el thrash y el heavy metal los mejores perros subgéneros del metal 2023
@LMTR14 Obviously you didn't listen to At The Edge Of Time. Best album of 2011 by far.
Blind guardian is the best band ever , they maked me like a new genre, atleast discover it.
@feinster500gzucker the studio's are confined. Since its an enclosed space, there is a weird change in the sound that is subtle. Also live performences also benifit from the crowds positive support, dunno why but it gives good vibes.
PERFECT VOICE!!!
Can't say I agree with you completely, but there is no doubt that they are amazing live.
VIVE BLIND GUARDIAN!! :D
I Love Blind Guardian!!!! W Power-Metal Forever!
never heard this song studio version but i like this. WHO SAID THEY SUCK LIVE? THEY KICK ASS!
I like this song very much!!
Agree with Atremious.. @vguyver, BG is -huge.- Even here in the States where they're significantly less well known, they're still quite popular. I mean, they did the theme for the game Sacred 2, and the game gave them a full in-game "concert" cinematic. That's pretty classy.
muy bien. one of the best songs ever.
this was so awesome I had to watch it twice, so damn heavy!
That is Hansi Kursch. An awesome singer!!
Also check out the band Demons & Wizards. They have the same lead vocalist.
@weltenpilgerer Yeah, they do. I was just at a live show last night, and they did play Mirror Mirror, the Bard's Song, Nightfall, etc. And by the gods it was EPIC.
why don't they make a world tour with all their great songs like mirror mirror, the bards song, nightfall, etc.etc.? that would be so awesome *___*
Blind Guardian IS the BEST band From Germany IN the whole World. HAIL FROM GERMANY HANSI KÜRSCH
we are following the will of the oneeee... God, how i love this music!! Great band ;) ;) Tolkien should be proud of it from the high heaven :D ;)
Arianna Bonardi he actually dispised rock music, so he'd've hated it
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 youre forgetting something my friend... the golden days of blind guardian didnt stop, we still live in it :)
agreed, i only have the double live album but I still love them more than some other bands!!! yeah they are way better live!!!!
THE BEST BAND \m/ HAIL FROM SPAIN
The best!!!!Amazing!!!!!!
man i havent heard this band in so long
the best ever!!!
Oh,i've read it dude!Infinite stories too,and some other books(Narn I Hin Hurin etc)Yeah,the movies where in fact a lot diferent...Im gonna check now the anime,ty for the advise
this live is from 1998 we can see hansi at 100% !!!! fantastic !!!!
Blind Guardian is great. From some of their songs, they seem to be playing in between power metal, and regular metal.
they are gods!!!omg!!!
The chorus, the way i interpret it, is like all the characters, singing how, following the will of the One, they will push through the dark times ahead (dark times that had already begun on this song and explained on Nightfall)
blind guardian RULES!!! ¬¬
the best band ever
Yeah, pretty much all I listen to is power metal. My friend showed me DragonForce a couple of years ago, my first learnings of power metal, and I've loved it since.
I was gonna do a bunch of Blind Guardian covers but I don't have anything that freaking takes videos.
:) very good band on cd and live
That was electric. I wish I was in that audience.
Awesome!!!
Ci vuole una fantasia assurda per scrivere un pezzo cosi fantastico
@mrchriss If memory serves, it's on the bonus disc of Imaginations Through the Looking Glass.
Blind gurdian is the best band ever!
That's my second favorite album. Nightfall in Middle-Earth is my first.
Great three bands you mentioned. Try ICED EARTH and Matt Barlow's voice too.
Best Band E V E R ...
@feinster500gzucker I honestly cannot decide whether I like the live versions better or not. I just listen to both and be happy.
essa musica eh muito loka.Blind Guardian Forever
I love them both, I have my RG in E and my Iceman in Eb
Hansi is a fine singer . Probably some people think he can´t sing high because of he doesn´t have a clean voice , like André Matos perhaps. Anyway, Hansi's voice is very powerful indeed.
They do have a live-CD indeed, it's named "Tokyo Tales"
Love that riff at 4:14!
I heard they stopped working on it for some odd reason but now they started again. Lets just hope for it lol :D
I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND! I grew up on it and i recently got another copy of Nightfall in Middle Earth.
I
ase ksenerwsa...oute to Mordered's song, welcome to time, somewhere far beyond, I'm Alive....ase ase elpizw n ksanaerthoun suntoma
@BL1NDGUARD1AN93 Barlow should do back ups for Demons and Wizards... that would be epic! :O
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 Blind Guardian is still kick ass and running wild. \m/
I don't know. I just heard something 'bout them starting to film it. I don't know if they are or they aren't but we should know soon.
i'm seeing them in 1 month and 4 days!!!!! FUCK YES!
