i'm missing the obligatory comment "legend says when you're walking the Wacken grounds at night and you listen carefully you can hear them singing still today"
Blind Guardian are there since 1984 and are one of THE metal bands in Europe! They are still around and touring and will be headliner again in Wacken 2024! Wacken is Europe's biggest metal festival based in northern Germany! About 80.000 metal fans will be there. For me the voice of their singer Hansi Kürsch is one of the best in metal! Fun Fact: he used to be the bass player in Blind Guardian and startet singing because they needed a singer! Since their last album Johan van Stratum is on the bass!
That is not how it happened, André brought Hansi in because he heard him sing and he wanted Hansi to sing in his band. Hansi was not as confident in that and so he joined as a bassist and got roped into singing later.
@@stephsteph4574 It is alright! I was hyperfixated on Blind Guardian for 2 months, the creation of the band is permantly burned into my brain haha. Yep he was indeed playing the bass until Nightfall In Middle Earth where he quit because the music became too complicated for him to keep up with his bass. So he quit playing the bass to focus on developing his voice.
hi guys, it was funny to hear a reaction of the song valhalla it is from 1994. so yes it sounds old school :-). hope you do more blind guardian plz. great reaction as always.
"Valhalla" is on "Follow the Blind", their second studio album - so it's actually from 1989 and hence 35 years old already. The band celebrate their 40th anniversary this year. ;-) Reaction was fine although one could notice that they don't know a lot about European metal and its origins (which BG is a huge part of), so they probably felt more comfortable talking over the music. That's fine, not everybody has to like the same bands - and I'm taking a guess here but they're probably from the US, so their exposure to European rock & metal may have been limited and they might be more familiar with bands they grew up with (Korn & all that stuff). Nonetheless, great to have them react to such gems at all.
oh, and Lars Ulrich is not in the same league as this one. But to know this you should hear their more progressive songs from the last 15 years and not a song from the 80`s. He does things with his drums Lars doesn`t even dream of and I really like Lars and Metallica!
Hansi, the singer, also played the bass in the beginning but stopped and focused on the singing after a few albums. But they didn't officially recruited a new bass player after that. So they don't really have an official band member that play the bass. I guess that's why you don't see the bass player from the live shows.
On bass is Barend (bear) Courbois, a great musician and a genuine nice man! He now is in Micheal Schenker group. I checked your vid’s and was missing a project where Hansi has been a part in for years now: Ayreon. The day that the world breaks down is the usual introduction for reactors. Btw. Hansi is a wonderful hugger :) th-cam.com/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-P9diFa4-Bqxnyz1
Blind guardian still make great albums to this day. But for me their first 5 are what invented power metal. Not surprising that those 2 songs came from that era.
What drummer doesn't even notice the tempo changes in Bard's Song? And then you judge the skill of a musician based on the complexity of the song he plays (just because you probably have problems playing Metallica songs)? What kind of band are you? Techno-DJs? Metallica albums are nice, but their live performances are more based on luck as on skill. And live performance is the only thing that makes you a great musician, especially since Autotune and all this bullshit. Probably you didn't see the concert where Metallica messed up quite anything imaginable. I wouldn't be surprised if they already use Autotune. Guardian sounds live just like on their albums and that has been the case for 40 years. But I give you one thing. You're in LA now and you try to impress people over there, so I understand why you're fan-boying around american bands. Let's leave it with that.
thumbs up from me,am a girl drummer, i think ur friend was being polite. let him watch the moovie with the drummer who has to throw 400ds , then make him review this again. and just look at him. for fun. sry, not very ,but, its a tough job to b the drummer. basic qualifications would be , u need torture and ur agression wants to hit something. did I get that right? in this case, blind guardian, every band member was given a part. b/c it was their last performance at woA , which they helped to grow to that festival level. I was there 2nd yr, they sucked. just saying. I was more concerned with tractors and ,mud. stupid weather. c"est la vie.
Hahaha the Gerard Depardieu comment was funny AF not gonna lie. And yeah, nah Jägermeister is ok. Not great, but ok. If you want something like that, but better, try La Chartreuse. Way much better.
@@Loop2React Your point is stupid and reeks of envy though. Lars is not a substandard drummer, he is a visionary - he was a visionary when he was 21 years old. He was ABSOLUTELY right about Napster, and his fight is the ONLY reason why musicians actually still earn money outside of concerts. Face it - all of the really great drummers have mad respect for him. Here's a short list of people who have defended him as a drummer: Joey Jordison, Dave Lombardo, Mike Portnoy, Mario Duplantier, Brann Dailor..... All of them much more succesful than either of you guys..

Even to this day when you pass the fields of Wacken, you can still hear the sound of the bard's song when the wind blows across the fields.

@@alexdoorn234 okay thank you! That's what I thought, sorry! ;-) but he was playing the bass!

@@alexdoorn234 thank god he decided to sing for us 😉
@@stephsteph4574 More like thank André for finding him and pushing him to sing. Best thing that could have happend to the metal world.
I was there and had no voice the next days😊
Met the band several times...so nice guys❤
André is a Guitargod🤘🤘🤘
Guardian is the only band that supports the audiance and not the other way.
Especially with the Bard's Song... in the forrest.
I think there are even instances when Hansi sung even less than in this clip for the song.
@@ca.b.92 A lot less last weekend in Koblenz. :)
2 posers talking about things they can't understand. Biind Guardian is a legend!
Frederick a 6 or 7. You are kidding 😂😂😂
forgive them, they don't know what they're talking about...they should listen to Another Strange Me
Frederick es único hace cosas que otros no harían jamás ni 6 ni 7 10 puntos

this is what i wanted to write but my english isnt good enough. So thx friend. 🙂@@therealmagineer
When amateurs gossip about professionals, what a joke😅😅😅
2 🤡
at least they comment... in my time... they only cursed us... metal sold in the early 80s but everyone cursed it..
8:24 y'all are talking over the best part of the song! 😩

As a drummer myself the drum fills at the end we're 10000/10!! You're a poser drummer!

I can think of two good sardinian drummers: efisio pregio (vexillum) and raphael saini (vision of atlantis, iced earth)
Love it ❤ \m/ Wacken in 20024 again
Lars being a bad drummer is just dumb hate. You don't become one of the greatest bands in Metal with a bad drummer.

Gotta try that!! 😎
Lars? Who is Lars
It is the Bard's song, and you really think Lars is the best? 😂😂😂
Band song?😂😂😂😂
Bla bla bla...😵💫😫
Clueless boys... Without Lars Ulrich, Metallica would play garages and back rooms.
no doubts about that.. that has nothing to do with our point lol

Lars is zero ok good ahahaha

They're better than Iron Maiden. I've saw Maiden last year and they was very bad
