I have tried for 6 years to find any band who has released better albums than Running Wild over the years, i fail every year. This is the best band in the world
@@NorthgateLP Good bands and albums, but few bands release so MANY good albums over their career....Running Wild is in Saxon territory with their (erhem...his) consistency.
True about Running Wild, less so with Saxon IMO. Running Wild is definitely the most consistently good band but I think Virgin Steele have the higher peak performance.
"Black Hand Inn" Lyrics Running Wild A scarred and rakish seadog, mysterious opacity Walks the grove, the phantom's home Cuts down firs where men would flee Wooden beams and mortar, the timber shack is taking shape The tavern's baptized "Black Hand Inn" A blackened hand shines on the plate Welcome to the tavern in the grove Where ancient spirits live and rove The tavern has been opened, the owner is Mr John Xenir A rumor says he has second sight A chance to prove restrains their fear Night by night revealing, stares into his crystal-ball Telling tales of past and future When man was made and man will fall Welcome to the tavern in the grove Where ancient spirits live and rove The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn" The priest is getting furious from the "godless" tales he told Steps right in made a cross Condemns the seadog and says he's bold John says "you're a liar! Long ago I was burned by priests See my black hand, yes I'll reveal That you're the devil and you're the beast!"

Black Hand Inn ist ddas geilste Album ever, ich höre das teil immer noch fast täglich! Running Wild Rulez ! Die hätt ich liebend gerne mit dem Album Live erlebt !
You know what I really like about RW? Most of their songs(if not all) have awesome intros, just about all thier songs are lengthy, probably all their songs have awesome guitar solos in the middle of them, and the fact that they can produce melodic songs like The Ballad of William Kidd and others from the Rivalry Album and still have hard-hitting metal songs! Running Wild Forever!!
Running Wild will be the best metal band forever! I love the intro I and I just love the album cover I mean the just look at the mysterious characters, the scenery, and the atmosphere of where they are, it just looks so adventurous. Rock n' Rolf sure has a creative imagination! I want to visit the Black Hand Inn! lol
One of the best power metal albums. Running Will dream team: Rolf Kasparek (vocals and guitar), Thilo Hermann (guitars), Thomas Smuszynski (bass guitar), Jörg Michael (drums) - Black Hand Inn (1994), Masquerade (1995), The Rivalry (1998).

Pennywise RT Ne ne, noch sehr viel andere Scheiben du musst sie nur paar mal anhören. Helloween ist eine Hammer Band Live und Scheibe. Und Andi Deris ist auch ein klasse Sänger.
A Jewel. I think the thing is that Running Wild are so cool and their music is so damn good that it can attract people who don't listen to metal usually. They certainly did that for me. Legends these guys. Plus I love their awesome German accents.1000/10
Pennywise RT Stimmt, besser gesagt mit Rolf. Running Wild war ja nie wirklich ne Band. Eher ne Söldnertruppe angeführt von Rolf Kasparek. Trotzdem war es damals unglaublich, ihn zu treffen. Sein großer Bruder Jörg war n Schulfreund meines Vaters
That little story in the beginning is the stuff that makes concept/theme metal so great. No matter how corny it is, you never really know if the band actually take them selves seriously :D
smashing! i can't wait to get my hands on all of them. i just bought black hand inn and right now im listening to dancing on the minefield. the riff is so kickass! the drummer is so good too.
This IS the only pirate metal in the world... not some of the shit churned out by Nuclear Blast and other labels in the last few years since pirates of the caribbean.
@sdsdaddas Big disagree , i don't give a rat's ass who the music comes from , if the music is good then just listen to it . This kind of elistic behavior makes you look like the southpark guys who likes to smell their own farts !

The intro is awesome, the song is awesome, RUNNING WILD IS AWESOME
Maybe the best european power metal album of all times. Absolutely everything is perfect in this album.
+Mapashito79 Listen to this as a teen in scandinavia fock me this kick ass so hard still- RW did it right this album sht just epic!
No maybe about it.
you are damn right
Absolutly !!!
Nope. They're heavy, not power.
Running Wild is my faith !!! Pirates - raise your hands !!!
No Krysztof, raise your FIST!
im with you
My faith is in God.
I'm raising hands for every great band - Manowar, Running Wild, Iron Maiden, Rhapsody of fire! HAIL!
Word!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍My faith is in METAL!!!!
I have tried for 6 years to find any band who has released better albums than Running Wild over the years, i fail every year. This is the best band in the world
Have you tried Virgin Steele's: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell 1 & 2, Invictus, The House of Atreus 1 & 2 ??

@@NorthgateLP 90s Virgin Steele is untouchable. David DeFeis was the greatest vocalist in the world and the music is just on another level.
@@owenwright1235 I agree, some bands have great peak moments but nobody reached the level of 90's Virgin Steele imo
"Black Hand Inn" Lyrics
Running Wild
A scarred and rakish seadog, mysterious opacity
Walks the grove, the phantom's home
Cuts down firs where men would flee
Wooden beams and mortar, the timber shack is taking shape
The tavern's baptized "Black Hand Inn"
A blackened hand shines on the plate
Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove
The tavern has been opened, the owner is Mr John Xenir
A rumor says he has second sight
A chance to prove restrains their fear
Night by night revealing, stares into his crystal-ball
Telling tales of past and future
When man was made and man will fall
Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove
The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
The priest is getting furious from the "godless" tales he told
Steps right in made a cross
Condemns the seadog and says he's bold
John says "you're a liar! Long ago I was burned by priests
See my black hand, yes I'll reveal
That you're the devil and you're the beast!"
Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove
The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove
The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
Their power's built by lies and flying high on evil's wing
The dark side was exposed by the old seadog at the "Black Hand I
2020 still jamming still Running Wild
2021! Let's keep it Wild!
Great music does not get old. This right there could be a thousand years old, it would still be awesome.

Other bands play - Running Wild sail the seas, inflicting havoc, total destruction and heavy drinking of rum! Ahoy!!!

This band is amazing???? How am I just now hearing them?!
I agree, they are way too underrated, despite being one of the best Heavy Metal bands ever...
Because ure livin in a dream? Good Music IS findin in Germany but U have to search
keeping the 80s sound alive in 94 \m/
Playing AC Black Flag while listening to Running Wild is hell of an experience
Aye. I have done this as well.
If "Black Hand Inn" was a movie I'd go see it! The album and the intro pretty much shows what it would like.
these pirates are UNFORGETTABLE!

Sviraju nemački i precizno haha
Heck yeah man, you nailed it. The best lineup in the history of the band.
@@imanaxbert1937 yes
I agree. Those 3 albums are my favs
Thanks Rock Antenne (or Radio Bayern, whichever it is) for bringing this song and the intro to my attention! Love it!
FUCKING MASTERPEACE hail odin this is why i am proud to be a METALHEAD louder them fucking hell
Hail, Manowarrior 🤘⚔🤘
These guys keep amazing me, they have not let me down. Arrr!

I know my Bro had this CD, but he never told me about them being Pirate metal
But, after I listened to this CD, Iove'em to Pieces! ^_^
Go Running Wild!!!
4 persons are INQUISITORS.
Running Wild are one of the best speed metal band. Their songs "Under Jolly Roger", "Mr. Deadhead" and "Souless" are legendary. C'mon Pirates.
and pile of skulls
All Running wild songs are legendary pieces of metal. The best heavy metal band from Germany. Long live Rock'n'Rolf.
Ohhh Jeahhhh Wacken 2015
Pennywise RT And Helloween
Pennywise RT Ne ne, noch sehr viel andere Scheiben du musst sie nur paar mal anhören. Helloween ist eine Hammer Band Live und Scheibe. Und Andi Deris ist auch ein klasse Sänger.

They certainly did that for me. Legends these guys.

Banda fantástica muito álbuns espetaculares uma porrada mesmo gates e branded são clássicos
intro is awesome! the storytelling and the melody is like so cool! reminds me of old movies.
Very good quality for being uploaded in 2007 :o
This will be played when i graduate from collage, when i get married and when i die.
Hope high school is over :D
@@bjrnpedersen6910 im 27 now... so now i need to get married or "die" trying :)
I agree! The best ever!
this one gave me goosebumps...i mean seriously now this MUST be the BEST intro in the history of metal!
Black Hand Inn: "It is a loose concept album about a resurrected man, against a backdrop of piracy, foreseeing Armageddon." Sounds about right.
Now that's METAL, real METAL, true METAL. Running Wild forever!!
wow this is the first time i have listened to running wild and i love it thank you so very much!!
Sagt mal ehrlich: Besser kann Metal nicht werden!
AYE, 150%ige Zustimmung!!!
Ole Weil Schön, dass wir einer Meinung sind!
Pennywise RT Stimmt, besser gesagt mit Rolf. Running Wild war ja nie wirklich ne Band. Eher ne Söldnertruppe angeführt von Rolf Kasparek.

Das ist mal Fakt
From 01:14 on a milestone in the history of good music began...
That little story in the beginning is the stuff that makes concept/theme metal so great. No matter how corny it is, you never really know if the band actually take them selves seriously :D
best reply i've seen for a song!
So true words!! It can´t get any better!!
Running Wild FOREVER!!!!!
wow man thats really awesome!!! my bones shiver whenever i listen to these 2 songs..
Just bought the lp version of this album on ebay for 106 dollars :D It´s the greatest !!!
What an intro….stay Heavy🤘🏻
They were due to appear this July in my country. But was cancelled. I'm gutted. Back to TH-cam I guess.
bravooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Come back together... and come to Brazil!
Första introt och första låten jag hörde med RW.
Sedan fast för alltid!
This is one of their best songs. I love the pirate-like melody, it sounds soo nice... its inspiring! \m/
Oh fucking hell... almost twenty years gone and I remembered this band in this album... damn it... I'm getting old and miss such good old music... ;(
Ach kennste das Gefühl auch.... bin auch von 1978...

So much looking forward to seeing them at Wacken, it was the best present ever to see that they are on!!!

tohle mi dochtor doporučil na všechny neduhy a měl sakra recht
Another perfect track from the best Heavy Metal band in all universes, known or unknown.
goofy voice over ends- fades into one of the coolest intros and songs ever---So I have to love the voice over no choice on that \m/
The tavern has been opened, the owner is Mr. John Xenir...
Awesome song!!!!!
here it is ! the best intro to any song ever
J aime ce groupe et les clips je suis fan des premiers jours, Fabrice fuchs de holving
I have to say - dont have any idea about what you just said but its a HELL OF A TRUTH! STAY WILD!
can't stop headbanging!
When it pumps into black hand inn I get such an adrenaline burst!! YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!
If it wasn't for my friend I would have never heard of these guys.
Shame how unheard of they are.
ABSOLUTELY LEGENDS
awesome
at 1:20 probably the best intro of all the Running Wild albums but I can never decide which one is best
Eh, same here.
Fucking Love Chamber of Lies and the contract/crypts of hades
Yes it IS...
So great \m/
Warchief Blackhand! Lok'tar ogar!
Running Wild is the best
lets make a movie like pirates of the carabean with the storys of running wild !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raw, Fast and Damn "Ass Kickin"!

Too much criticism.
No band can duplicate the same music twice.
Me either love the band or you don't. People these days are so critical of a band they say they love it's not even funny
I love running wild and everything they do
Alestorm aren't shit because they aren't talented guys, they very much are.
They are shit because they don't try
Nuclear Blast is responsible for many shitty bands and trends.
I Disagree!!! Alestorm is great and funny!! I love both!!!Pirate metal is superb no matter if it comes from the leaders of the genre,Running Wild,the funny and great Alestorm,the polish Vane,Orden Ogan or anyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After listening to this music my bear refused vodka and demanded rum.Greetings from Russia.
Kocham Running Wild !!!!!!

This man speaks the truth!
My go to drinking music
Thanks! There is no word good enough to describe Running Wild lol.
3:13 💣
One of the main reason for Jorg to leave the band was the non stopping double bass on the whole album,which he found hard to play live.
Yeeeea
best intro riff ever!!!
🤘The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn 🤘
The best Metal Album of the 90's , next to Painkiller.
