The fun fact: In the beginning they were looking for another singer, because he was not satisfied with his voice.... but they could not find anybody who could sing the songs with the passion, that Hansi got.
If you like thrashing, listen to Bodom. If you like headbanging, listen to Megadeth. If you like moshing, listen to All Shall Perish. But if you like being a badass and killing evil men with righteous blades, listen to Blind Guardian.
I love Blind Guardian so f@$^king much. Not only are these guys legendary musicians and my favorite band, theyre also a bunch of *dorks* who are just having fun and making music.
It's already been 2 and half decades but the song seems it came yesterday. Always gives energy and mood. Thank you BG. Unfortunately, the greatest drummer of the world Thomen the Omen is missed. The beauty of BG deteriorated after his exit. Thank you

Love these videos that are not really shot for a song video, but a collection of raw clips from the band's life (studio, road, etc). It's more personal than any "commercial" video could ever be. And Hansi's expressions are to die for. He was such a young goof & cutie here. Just want to pinch those cheeks, heh. Don't ever get too serious Hansiiiiiiiiiiiiii...... (and Andre - don't ever stop smiling while shredding). Bards 4ever!!!!!!!!
+Alma Ducky I know right? :)) This video is Sooo damn cute, i was smiling all the way trough it. Just radiating awesome atmosphere, good times and friendship. That's the secret of Blind Guardians Appeal, they are such down to earth adorable good natured lads, that care passionately about their music - and are very good at it. A perfect mix that results in one of the best bands out there. ( and Yes, Hansi was, and still is, a goofiest cutie that ever was :))
@@vikingmetaldragon ...there mightve been some misunderstanding. Im agreeing with you 1000%, and every skipped line or solo sticks out like neon paint in a picture of the Great Depression.
Fantastic song, with cut parts, though. I love so much Nightfall in Middle Earth, one of the best albums based on Tolkien's Silmarillion. I love this band since i was 16 years old, both Somewhere far Beyond and Nightfall in Middle Earth are my favourite albums from Blind Guardian.
The first big band I ever shot live. Took a chance and emailed their management asking for a press pass. Got one. Had to go a buy a camera. Amazin show and still love those pics.
Brings back great memories! Learned to play guitar thanks to Blind Guardian songs, trying to figuring out the solos and leads. This song being one of the first! Awesome music!

Fantastic song with so many awesome breaks and changes! Also cute to see these playful funny shots of the band in-between. Good to see some humor in a metal video instead of all gloom and doom ;-)
It's more like: "MIrror MIrror on the wall true hope lies beyond the coast you're damned kind can't you see that the winds will change". :) Aaand the song is for sure not about Gollum. Imo it's about Noldors who left the Valinor to seek revenge on Melkor who stole their Silmarils and killed Finwe - Feanor's Father. :D Feanor swore that he will get the Silmarils back and brought doom on his people. Sorry for my bad grammar and if I wrote the names wrong, I did my best. ;)
wish they made some animation video clips for that album.. Just imagine Fingolfin vs Morgoth, with the "time stand still (at the iron hill)" on the background.
It's a clip from that time, I doubt they could get it much better than 240 scanlines anyway :P! Hehe, and to think: That band was already 14 years old there :P. Imagine that 1998 that's 20 years ago :P.
Wann war DAS denn?! Viva hatte nal Niveau o.O Mein Weltbild ist erschüttert o.O Jedenfalls eins der geilsten Lieder in der Musikgeschichte, wie ich das seh.
The entire pack,i don´t know if going enter in the envelopes. I wait this don´t lose it in the path. All that i think and i know happens with the king. Engraved in my memories.
I remember that my friends and I used to spend some time seeing this video with my friends in a real video format with very shitty quality, although we were just too fucking happy and headbang while seeing this.....good old times.....
Tolkien would be so proud. :) This whole album makes me so happy and I only hope the professor would feel the same way
you and I are of the same thinking man.
Goddamn, chills every time that chorus kicks in... This whole album is a masterpiece and is essential listening for every Tolkien fan.

exactly its older than me brah but i love it
Was genuinely surprised when I saw the release date on this song. This is a fucking eternal slapper.
It's older than me, and I'm 20 :')
Can't even explain how much positive energy this song has.
If Blind Guardian doesn't give you a brutal dopamine rush, you're definitely dead inside🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤
The sure did yesterday!!😉🙂
The cut parts of the song leave a bitter-sweet taste for those who enjoy this song in all its magnificense
Hansi is one of the most unique power metal vocalists I've ever heard!
how can anybody sing like this?? his voice is supernatural
The fun fact: In the beginning they were looking for another singer, because he was not satisfied with his voice.... but they could not find anybody who could sing the songs with the passion, that Hansi got.
If you like thrashing, listen to Bodom. If you like headbanging, listen to Megadeth. If you like moshing, listen to All Shall Perish. But if you like being a badass and killing evil men with righteous blades, listen to Blind Guardian.
If you like all of these and melodies, listen to Blind Guardian 😂
Or Falconer
lol. if you like thrashing and moshing listen to thrash metal. all shall perish lol..wuss
Or: 3 Inches of Blood, Rhapsody, Gravedigger, Saxon, and others. If you feel like a pirate, Running Wild.
I wouldn't have it any other way, well said man!
Que voz!Que banda!
The first Blind Guardian video tha i saw! Love at first sight!!!
I love Blind Guardian so f@$^king much. Not only are these guys legendary musicians and my favorite band, theyre also a bunch of *dorks* who are just having fun and making music.
From Brazil, do you are AMAZING, never stop of doing it
It's already been 2 and half decades but the song seems it came yesterday. Always gives energy and mood. Thank you BG. Unfortunately, the greatest drummer of the world Thomen the Omen is missed. The beauty of BG deteriorated after his exit. Thank you
Far, far beyond the island
We dwelt in shades of twilight
Through dread and weary days
Through grief and endless pain
It lies unknown
The land of mine
A hidden gate
To save us from the shadow fall
The lord of water spoke
In the silence
Words of wisdom
I've seen the end of all
Be aware the storm gets closer
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That tomorrows bears insanity
Gone's the wisdom
Of a thousand years
A world in fire and chains and fear
Leads me to a place so far
Deep down it lies my secret vision
I better keep it safe
Shall I leave my friends alone
Hidden in my twilight hall
(I) know the world is lost in fire
Sure there is no way to turn it
Back to the old days
Of bliss and cheerful laughter
We're lost in barren lands
Caught in the running flames
Alone
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Even though
The storm calmed down
The bitter end
Is just a matter of time
Shall we dare the dragon
Merciless he's poisoning our hearts
Our hearts
How shall we leave the lost road
Time's getting short so follow me
A leader's task so clearly
To find a path out of the dark
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
Mirror Mirror on the wall
True hope lies beyond the coast
You're a damned kind can't you see
That the winds will change
What a great song! Best regards from Brazil!
man he's got one hell of a voice. BG for life!

Andre and Marcus aren't really big shredders. They're both great, I prefer Marcus. But I wouldn't call them power metal virtuosos.
Awesome to see them caving out on Tekken 2! Brings back so many memories of gaming in my youth. Hail Metal Brothers!!!
Great song, it's unfortunate they cut out small portions of it.
Valsvart why did they do it? Its meaningless
@@CrocTheOne It was in tv, so they had limited time.
sorry to reply to a 7-year-old comment.
but small portions...that stick out like a sore thumb and then some.
@@emilyrattini8462
No. Nothing is a "sore thumb" in the full song, and nothing should have ever been removed. FUCK tv.
@@vikingmetaldragon ...there mightve been some misunderstanding. Im agreeing with you 1000%, and every skipped line or solo sticks out like neon paint in a picture of the Great Depression.
They also cut the part where Hansi's voice gets super high and he sings "time's getting short so follow me".
So awesome anyways!
I LOVE BLIND GUARDIAN! AND THAT DESERVES CAPS ON!!!!!!
Classico indubitável!
Absolute masterpiece! Never gets old, and it has many elements that makes one of my all-time favourites.

Immer noch ein gern gehörter Song. Gruß aus Krefeld. 👋
Blind guardian the best in the world god bless them. This is music.
Listening to BG since 2000 and I have never seen this video. Killer! You guys are great people and make awesome music.

Y E S
Mirón Mirón 👐👐👐👐🎵temazo aguante Blin Guardián 💜💜💜👐👐👐🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Nice video. Hansi has the most powerful voice ever and we miss Stauch!!
Достаточно лишь шести слов для продвижения в рейтинге видео и канала.
The guitar riffs and sound are badass!
It's more like: "MIrror MIrror on the wall true hope lies beyond the coast you're damned kind can't you see that the winds will change". :) Aaand the song is for sure not about Gollum.

Forever Blind Guardian!!
Special band!
This guys are Fucking Valar`s of metal ! The Ainur of Metal !!!
haha very nice! just a note, Valar is already plural, and the singular form is Vala
Nice find.... well .. you had it all this time.. ... Please post all of the goods from the past!
didnt know they actually have videos... but one of their best songs, definitely :)
Eargasm.Simply Amazing song.
Best preformance of bg ive ever seen they should be like this again and write songs in this style
Epic 🤘😎
God bless the Guardians!
This song needs more love...no this band needs more love
I lost my virginity to this album. True story.
This is the best video clip of all time!
wish they made some animation video clips for that album..
Just imagine Fingolfin vs Morgoth, with the "time stand still (at the iron hill)" on the background.
speed metal 🖤🤘
Wow, that is one fine song in every way.
Amo essa banda
calma você não está sozinho meu, força ae mlk!
Epic win=wearing a Kiss shirt in your own music video. I'll never stop loving Blind Guardian.
Back when Guardian were doing outstanding power metal with superb backing vocals!
Holy fuck this was 20 years ago. Damn the time passes way too quick :(
Please, we need an updated and reescaled version of this video!
One does not simply shorten this song...
Is a Master Piece 💙🎵🎵🎶🤘🤘🎼⚡🎼🤘🎶🎵🎵
Bons tempos!!!!!!
Masterpiece!!!😎
Love this song!
you'd think for being the official youtube channel of blind guardian they would be able to find a better quality video.
except this is an old video filmed on old cameras
als viva noch gute sachen gespielt hat, lang ists her
@AndrzejGodlewski110 Viva Polska was a music channel which was broadcasting a Blind Guardian clips.
to aqui, Blind é muito foda²
Quero ver um show deles ainda...
I love how this is pretty much the equivalent of nerd metal and all the members look like they could be apple workers yet still shred
Batería increíble.
Saludos dede Argentina. Son mi banda favorita. :D
such epic music... too bad the quality is low
there's HQ versions on youtube
it's a metal band. 240p is a tradition
kel'thuzad the light shall burn you!
Yeboi 550 LOL
It's a clip from that time, I doubt they could get it much better than 240 scanlines anyway :P! Hehe, and to think: That band was already 14 years old there :P. Imagine that 1998 that's 20 years ago :P.
This is Blind Guardian's best song!
Fave song from them
ピュアジュブナイルメタル🤟🤟❤️❤️‼️‼️
Wann war DAS denn?! Viva hatte nal Niveau o.O Mein Weltbild ist erschüttert o.O
Jedenfalls eins der geilsten Lieder in der Musikgeschichte, wie ich das seh.
I loved❤
La vida de aquel rey gravada ha fuego y sangre.
Te lo digo:una leyenda viva despues de todo.
Y gravada en my corazon.
Always make me smile. :)
sacro , musica sagrada , magnos acordes...
Finally this song is on iTunes! \m/
Blind Guardian Sempre!!!!
Masterpiece!!
The metal gods were with you that day :D
The entire pack,i don´t know if going enter in the envelopes.
I wait this don´t lose it in the path.
All that i think and i know happens with the king.
Engraved in my memories.
I remember that my friends and I used to spend some time seeing this video with my friends in a real video format with very shitty quality, although we were just too fucking happy and headbang while seeing this.....good old times.....
Esta canción tiene lo que me gusta is great
Jeee Blind Guardian is the best! Ein besonders Mirror Mirror
2:10 this is how true metalheads play!
preciuos album!
0:49 KISS
I always pictured that the video would be some epic battle with dragons and goblins
Epic snowball fight though!
Budget
Same lol
Tbh, I love this to pieces, even more than I would do with an epic battle :D It's just so sweet and genuine, them being dorks :)
Playing Tekken 2, chess, and table football also huge Tolkien's fan those guys are the definition of a geek band lol
How can you shorten such a song, when so many people know it by heart from start to end?
