Yes, it was in German as Blind Guardian is from Germany and that is also the country in which Wacken takes place annually. The choir consists of tens of thousands of people. The band will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year. And both songs, which yoou heard, are from earlier albums. The album - Nightfall in Middle-Earth - was very much focused on Tolkien´s writings. You saw Hansi Kursch, the singer, in Ayreon.
The entire NIGHTFALL ON MIDDLE EARTH album is a power metal masterpiece. It is a concept album based on The Silmarillion (lord of the rings). CURSE OF FEANOR is my favorite track but there are so many great songs on this one.
I really love the way you two analyze the music on a really passionate level because you recognize the passion between the band‘s music and the fans! So, I’m 17 now and I think I found Blind Guardian randomly like a year back or so and they’re easily my favorite band now, and I just couldn’t help but be proud when I realized they’re German:3 so yeah greetings
Hey guys, Guardian are legends here in germany, formed back in the early 80s. They are in one category with bands like Grave Digger, Helloween, Accept, Scorpions, Warlock & Doro Pesch when it comes to the german metal scene. Bands of that era sang in english because that was the key to be succesful at that time, that changed in the 90s with bands like Rammstein, Die Krupps, Oomph or Megaherz. By the way, have a look at Doro and their former Band Warlock, she is a legend, too, and is often called "Mama Wacken" as a nickname because she is such a strong supporter of this festival. She got strong connections with bands all over the world, for example: she is one of the few people that was personally so close to Lemmy, she got a bullet with his ashes as a present after his death as his personal last wish. Greetings from Germany!
In my opinion every Metal fan, should see Blind Guardian, and listen to the bard song, it is a must-see, and you must feel the vibes of the live play and sing along to at least once in their lifetime - I will never forget my time in Gelsenkirchen Germany at the first Rock Hard festival played in the Amphitheater by the rhine - Herne kanal ---- one of the greatest emotional moments--- one of the greatest emotional moments - I had tears in my eyes - and goosebumps all over throughout the song --- never again will I see humans from all walks of life - become a unity --- and stream out so much positive energy ...
I could say the same thing for fear of the dark from iron maiden outside in the summer at a festival but admitedly, I haven't had the chance to see blind guardian in my lifetime in Canada yet so I can't realy compare. Probably missed em :/
Thanks for posting my request. I'm a bit late to it and I see others already posted the most important things. Let me just add one thing: legend says that if you walk the fields of Wacken and close your eyes, you can still hear the crowd singing Valhalla!
Not only that, Marcel. The Legend continues saying if you start humming Valhalla at Wacken not only Blind Guardian fans but basically everyone will join knowing the melody...which says a lot I think
Did you say 'I feel like I've seen him before'? Of course you have. Ayreon! Hansi! Can't believe it took you so long to get here. Hansi and Blind Guardian are one of the best finds I had from Ayreon.
Excellent reaction, you have a new subscriber. Blind Guardian are called along with IRON MAIDEN "The Kings of Crowds" Because their fans sing all their songs. I recommend you listen to the live versions of Welcome to Dying, Into the Storm and Mirror, Mirror.
As for the spoken parts in between: First part: I would also like to let you scream longer, unfortunately, we only have a little time left. Of course, we want to spend it with music. I think most of you will know what comes next. It has already been legendary here (in Wacken) one or the other time. I have the feeling that you will "put the crown on" this time. (german phrase for: it will be even better). Let`s sing: the bards song! Second: You are fucking crazy.... Wacken! I dare not say it: You are even more awesome than usual! We had a great time up here. We always liked to come to Wacken. At some point it's time to move on. The time has come now. See you somewhere!
Do more Blind Guardian please! They are there for so long and still came up with an epic album last year! There are some classics like "Mirror Mirror" live for example but you could also continue with their latest music videos! You won't regret!
I was thinking about having that as a request for you as well, but I knew someone in the gang would definitely have it on their list😀 Love it!!! Sometimes I'm running around half of my shift humming Valhalla, especially when I'm on dishwasher duty😅
Their 'Tokyo Tales' album is still one of my favourite live albums ever. Released 30 years ago, still awesome. The warmth of that bass sound in Bard's Tale was perfect.
As others have mentioned, the album these songs are from is Tolkien inspired; their 2010 album At The Edge Of Time has a couple of songs inspired by Game of Thrones, and a couple by The Wheel of Time.
If you want to hear something really special, you should listen to their song « and then there was silence » their most ambitious song so far. Better do the studio version, the live is really good but you will miss the last amazing part. I saw, you makes Lovebites too. This japanese band is so good and talented. Enjoy !
there is another recording of valhalla where the crowd just would not stop. Everytime the band 'ended' it, the chants picked up again, went on for 9+ minutes, then the vid cut off. Legendsmsays they are still singing 😂
Nice my friends. This is one of the oldest Power rock bands around as you read. Another rabbit hole you can dig intoo. You're getting pretty busy. Dig on!
fun act: BG is almost the last band on WACKEN.... than, when blind guardian goes to play, nobody is on the other bands stage, sooo sucks the other Artists :D
Great Reaction Please more ! Please Check Saltatio Mortis with Blind Guradian a Song in German and comes out last Week!

Amazing experience ❤

I had tears when I saw them play in Australia

@@Brendo2386 know the feeling --- its a one in a lifetime feeling --- everyone is in unity - no matter what ---
@@Humstuck similar but for me, the bard song beats everything besides seeing Metallica on your birthday -

At the Summer Breeze festival, the crowd continued to sing the chorus until the next band started. 😬 German festivals are crazy good
the next band was heaven shall burn and they covered valhalla on their album veto (including some new vocals by hansi)
@@HeavyMetalGamingHD Exactly. They killed it too that day 🤘

Yes is old school.
I've listened to these guys since I was a kid.
These guys are legendary and still killing it. Check out something from their brand new album like "Violent Shadows"

Watching this , I always wonder how they cannot start crying having 80k people singing for them...
