If you drive by Wacken at every time of the year and listen closely, you can always hear the voice of 80 thousand people singing this song.
There's a story that one year Blind Guardian didn't attend the festival and the song was shortly teasered on one of the video walls. Everyone stopped what they were doing, sang the full song together and only after resumed what they were doing.
The singer's name is Hansi, but i *think* the crowd is chanting "Guardian" there; that's what I always heard anyway.
i was there in the crowd... yes it´s "guardian"....
Thats right
I've always been told I should listen to Blind Guardian , never had though , until I saw this video. Brought tears to my eyes. Having a song completly sang by the audience is so awesome!
Ayo same 😭 this was the first time I heard Blind Guardian and now they’re my favorite band, I even went to see them last year here in Germany, best night of my life
Hey Viking! So good to see you back again!
I hope you haven't listened to any new songs because then we have a ton of nice reactions in our near future 😂
Looking forward to your reaction. Blind Guardian is a great band 🙌
I have only binged a lot of talent shows and such ;). No worries, I stayed away from everything I want to react to...which can be a pain :p
@@VikingReacts Do you know what really was a pain in the ass. MISSING YOUR REACTIONS
Nice to have you back and with such a nice band as well! Could I suggest Wheel of Time to you or maybe The Ninth Wave? Or anything of Blind Guardian really. They have much to offer and it's such a shame that everybody stops at the Bard's song and Valhalla. Not that those two aren't great but there is more to discover!
Yes! The Ninth Wave quickly grew to be one of my favorite songs.
Viking ! Nice to have you back ! - Hope you are doing well !
Next one has to be the following song to this one.....VALHALLA from Wacken !!
Rumors are going on that you can still hear the crowd singing nowadays.....
I have seen Blind Guardian several times live....in a small club with 300 people or at a Festival with 20k+ People.....they always deliver the same energy
My Date with Nightwish was also postphoned....sharing the pain.....
Another great song from them : Mirror MIrror......give it a try....
Nice to have you back !
All Hail the Queen !
Welcome Back Viking 🤘😎🤘
Awesome song for comeback !!!!
NWSU.
Blind Guardian is amazing. a lot of their stuff is largely based around the Tolkien Legendarium Lord of the Rings, Time Stands Still (at the Iron Hill) and Nightfall come to mind, all based around Lord of the Rings (obviously) The Hobbit and the Silmarillion, they even incorporate Sauron's Poem 'The One Ring' from the books into the Lyrics of Lord of the Rings.
their best album "imaginations from the other side" are about OZ...
The Bard's Song has a lonely feel to it because it is meant to give off that vibe, he is a Bard singing about other Bards and how at the end of the day, no one remembers the Bard, but everyone remembers The Bard's Song. it's even in the chorus. "Tomorrow will take us away, Far from home, No one will even know our names. But the Bard's Songs will remain. Tomorrow, All will be know, That your not alone, So don't be afraid of the Dark and Cold. Cause the Bard's Songs will remain."
welcome back!I love Blind Guardian!
someone said " if you go to Wacken after the concerts, and listen carefully, you'll hear the crowd singing The Bard Song"
We missed you!!! Love this song! And love Valhalla also, I'll be waiting for that also! Welcome back, my brother in falling in love with Nightwish!
Yess..after this you should immediately do the Song Valhalla they played after the Bard Song🤘🏽🔥
Welcome back Viking, you have been missed!
Dude!!! It's you, and you're back!! Always awesome to see. I absolutely love this song, always gives me the tingles. I get the same feeling from this as with Marco's singing of The Islander at the Nightwish - Tampere show
I don't make my own mead but I have drunk some great homemade mead a few times before.Very nice stuff.
Glad to see you back!! I hope you are safe and sound. Cheers!
some shout "guardian" and some "Hansi", i think.
why didn´t you just continue with "valhalla"? xD
The ending of "Valhalla" is also what everyone who recommended this video wanted to show you ;-)
Hes making it into two videos. More views and more money
Welcome back! Expect it to take a while before your community wakes up again :)
Thanks! And that's ok :)
That guy with arms folded looking like a toddler pouting -- there's one at every metal show. hahaha
Good to see you again and I am definitely looking forward to Valhalla :)
Nice to see you back here again!
Likewise my man :)
So glad that you are back! Missed you! Yes please Valhalla or Mirror Mirror. But in your own tempo. Stay well,.
he has returned!!!! welcome back, we have missed you!
Bravo! Thanks! (-:
Je bent er weer!!
Oh shit... betrapt!
@@VikingReacts 😂
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 ìf you like the audience singing check out Depeche mode enjoy the silence live in Berlin
Awesome to see you back Viking ! Funny I just checked the channel yesterday wondering what you were up to when I saw the Flight of Fireflies reaction and found out what was going on. Wishing you the best man, one of my favorite reaction channels. Looking forward to more reactions but at your own pace of course ! Stay Safe Viking !
Ik ben zo blij om te zien dat je er weer bent! Welkom! Also, you have a bunch of new Sabaton music to react to!
There are very few bands where the lead vocalist can just stop singing 30 seconds from the end and the crowd will finish the song without any problems, and nailing a ritardando in the process too.
Good to see you back in action ! Raise that horn and SKOL!
Glad you are back and great reaction. If you want a great Blind Guardian song to react to, I suggest my personal favorite: "Nightfall" live at Wacken 2011. This is a song from their masterpiece album Nightfall in Middle Earth. It is based on the works of Tolkien and it tells the events of the First Age and the Doom of the Noldor Elves. This is what started the events that culminated in the Lord of the Rings in the Third Age. Great song and again, amazing audience participation.
Welcome back Viking. Good to see you reacting to these power metal pioneers. You should take a look on the next song to this performance, Valhalla (very appropiate for You).
Nice to have you back.
If you want a change in vibe, check out Sabaton's latest: Christmas truce. Some evidence od metal musicians diversity right there
Cannot wait for you to do Valhalla, man... bring tissues to that one 🤘
they also just released a new single called "Deliver us from evil" that you should definitely react to
From what I understand… they have a lot of songs that are inspired by things like Lord of the Rings. With that in mind… I NEED to check them out ;)
Viking, missed ya brother, good to see you doing ok.
Welcome back! I missed you in the reactor scene, glad you're back.
Nice to see you back and with such a great song.
you gotta react to the new bg song "deliver us from evil". Great reaction:D
Welcome back, Viking, great to see you again! If you're planning to do more Blind Guardian (and potentially have watched and enjoyed Villeneuve's Dune), may I recommend "Traveller in time", again from Wacken, but in 2007?
If you pass Wacken grounds and listen carefully you can still hear them singing!
It's just a little bit "sad" that you didn't do the double feature with "Valhalla". It would have surprised you, hearing it directly after "The Bard's Song". Completely different, but also with an insane crowd interaction.
Btw.: Andre Olbrich was ranked 76 out of 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time by "Guitar World".
Hahaha, I was in Berlin for a week recently and heard them even there :P
Great reaction! Glad to see you again!
Another cool song with a very nice crowd interaction:
Saltatio Mortis with "Spielmannsschwur" (Fiddlers Oath) live at Wacken 2017. Folk- / Medieval-Metal by another German band. It's during the day and the crowd needs a some secons to sing along, but then ...
Or if you wanna see a singer singing a complete song while surfing the crowd: "Rattenfänger" from the same show.
Own mead over here ...
@Viking Reacts you never did a Reaction to the next part which is Blind Guardian - Valhalla, maybe you should look into it again ;) :P
Hej! I have missed you!! Welcome back 💓💓
Great to see you back again! And I'm glad to hear your job is working out. Ow great,. Blind Guardian! You definetly have to do Ayreon 'The day that the world breaks down' now. Hansi is great in that composition! Pick the video with the peeks behind the scene, comments and introductions of the artists by Arjen Anthony Lucassen himself.
Deze was wel goed hoor!
The fans call GUARDIAN
Skål 🥂 Welcome back😀
There are such of good Bands from Germany.. 🎸So try:die toten Hosen-mehr davon live Rock am Ring (See what the singer did😮) or Band,, Null positiv-Kollaps /deine Haut.... Great female voice.. 👍🍺Enjoy
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens heavy metal band right now in the earth. They are really really Genius and World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot diehard fans like me😁. The fans called Wolfpack.
The song is "Set the world on fire" from they live concert.
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Thank you
Great that you're back! And cheers with the homemade mead, it's on my list of "things to do when my lfe is less busy" (which is not happening anytime soon... That bein said, have you heard the new Sabaton song yet? I'd love to see your reaction to it. "Christmas Truce" and bring tissues ;)
De groeten uit België!!
Glad you are back! Did the Mead turn out as good as it looked?
Oh yes it did! I have a neighbour that keeps coming back for more ;)
❤❤❤
Valhalla is obviously more what you had expected from Blind Guardian yea :)
🖤👏🏼👏🏼
Nice reaction.
But too bad you didn't react to both songs in this case, since they kinda belong together and they're always played together by the Band.
Anyway, I like your vids :-)
Wonderful reaction as always! And as promised in chat, the link for Iron Maiden's Journeyman: th-cam.com/video/lxHz3wuNUpM/w-d-xo.html
just to be liked "i listend to this before it went popular " jk jk its nice to see someone react to it and i hope you undrestand it was a joke
hey how long did it take you to grow your beerd ?
I've had it for years but only grew it out this long about 2 years ago. I actually just trimmed about 5cm/2inches off to make it a bit healthier. This should be about 1,5 to 2 years growth.
@@VikingReacts so about 2 years ?
@@mobbad100 that would be my calculation :P
Home brew mead is the best! :)
I can concur
When are u gonna watch Valhalla? 🤘
germany Party.San. DEW IT.
My gf did her own mead 2 yrs ago. 10l, and it was dry as fuck ^^
Not enough honey or fermented too long. This one still has some sweetness and is very refreshing :)
@@VikingReacts Or... she bought russien brewers yeast.... that mead had 18% ^^
@@KelbenArunsun Yup, that'll do it :P
@@VikingReacts We realized that, after we measured the alcohol concentration ^^ So we filtered it, resweetened it with honey, one with vanilla, one with a lemon (all in different bottles) and it turned out pretty good.
please can you react to some Linkin Park they have a lot of awesome songs
i like you >:D=
Why would you stop that video in the middle? Almost all of the other TH-cam reactions are going the full distance, and for a reason - as the release of a double-song clip suggests, they kinda belong together. Especially when it's about comparing it to the Sabaton audience chants during "Livstid" because this audience participation is what the whole clip is about, especially the end of "Valhalla". I'm pretty sure no one suggested to break off a clip in the middle ...
I never noticed it was a double song video. I was startled and stopped without thinking of doing a double reaction. And... as this is a first time listen... how would I have known they belong together??
@@VikingReacts I thought someone recommended the video (usually most fans will provide you with the link to the clip as there are many versions of a lot of songs - I guess you know that already). In this case, probably not everyone has mentioned the full title but I thought if people recommend a specific version, then there's a reason for that. I mean, you did good, though, anyway - just struck me as odd as this video is one of the most reacted to on TH-cam and I have never seen another reactor just break it off in the middle of the whole momentum going on. But you might still want to give it a listen, even offline. "Valhalla" is certainly far from being their best (it was released on their second full length album in 1989 when the band was still finding their style) but it became a live favorite and works very well that way. The original album version is a bit more outdated because BG were still a few years away from their mid-career groundbreaking albums (Somewhere far beyond/ Imaginations from the other other side/Nightfall in Middle-Earth) where almost every song has insanely high standards. Maybe you can continue your journey one day, it's worth it. Have a sunny week! ;-)
" viking reacts" to the most overrated song
In this case... it was all about the involvement from the audience. It can not be overrated if so many people take part and share in the experience. It is doing exactly what music should be doing. And hey... you clicked the video ;)
@@VikingReacts yea but I didn't watch. I purpose avoided this song and vallhalla because I knew everyone and thier grandmother reacted to it. I think I did it, AFTER I had explored the band prior.
I find at often times, the songs over requested are not usually the best.
@@TheRealMediaMan ah, I get it. This one was done because of my comments on "En livstid I krig" by sabaton. I mentioned that it must be awesome to have a crowd sing a song back to you. That is why this was recommended.
@@VikingReacts it's all good. I guess my frustration is that... "fans" will almost only recommend these two songs.
And it's so frustrating because there's soooo much more that is immensely better than this and yet it's all I ever see.
I want to reach into the screen and say "stop"
Its not your fault.
In this case I get it.
@@TheRealMediaMan it only opened the door for more as I am now intrigued ;)
Welcome back Viking, you have been missed!
