It`s different, In the studio the high notes are chest sung. He used mix voice most of the time here. He is a much better singer now than during imaginations, no doubt.
Blind Guardian was the first metal band i heard. I still love the music they make, Hansi still is one of the best singers in the world of metal. The Bards of metal will never fail.
i don't know if i'm wrong, but to me this is the most beautiful power metal song, in the sense that it captures the essence of whatever a power metal song is supposed to have
Not actually. Power metal has many crappy trends and this song captures everything that is missing in this genre. It sounds exactly how power metal should be, but not how it really is
4:31 0 to 100 in 2 seconds lol, my man casually jumps from E3 to D#5 peaking at E5 (whole 2 octave jump wtf) and then he proceeds with a badass vocal run... You can see from his face at the end he knows he killed it :D Now that, ladies and gentleman what natural,god-given talent looks like...
Die mit Abstand beste Version dieses genialen BG Stücks. Insbesondere der Anfang ist eine unglaubliche Mischung aus bombastischen und sanftmütigen Elementen - Der Song ist ähnlich wie The Script for my Requiem letztlich ein echtes Paradestück und konzentriert alle typischen BG Merkmale, die die Band einzigartig machen. Solche Highlights fehlen zwar mittlerweile leider ein wenig, aber die Band hat sich natürlich im Laufe der Zeit weiterentwickelt. Die Komplexität der aktuelleren Scheiben ist deutlich höher, die älteren Einspielungen waren vermutlich einfach unschlagbar. In jedem Fall gebührt der Band eine absolute Sonderstellung in der (internationalen!) Speed/Bombast Metal Szene.
I've lost my battle before it starts My first breath wasn't done My spirit's sunken deep Into the ground Why am I alone I can hear my heartbeat Silence's all around See hate will rise So don't come closer Fear your child Born with a king's heart But fate fooled me And changed my cards Noone asked if I want it If I like it Pain inside is rising I am the fallen one A figure in an old game No joker's on my side I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light And murder the dawn Turn off the light And murder the dawn Nothing else But laughter is around me Forevermore Noone can heal me Nothing can save me Noone can heal me I've gone beyond the truth It's just another lie Wash away the blood on my hands My father's blood In agony we're unified I never wanted to be What they told me to be Fulfill my fate then I'll be free God knows how long I tried to change fate Pain inside is rising I am the fallen one A figure in an old game No joker's on my side I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light And murder the dawn Turn off the light And murder the dawn I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light And murder the dawn Turn off the light And murder the dawn
I'm normally not a fan of live songs because the screaming fans gets distracting, but this...this is awesome! Hansi's an even better singer than he was on the album!
Generally speaking, its regarded as one of their best, it's better than anything before it, and it has a grittier more straightforward sound than anything that came after it, making it much more suitable for live performances
WOW. goosebumps, tears in eyes. this live take is absolutely amazing. a couple of years back, i thought i was downloading Judas Priest 'beyond the realms of death'. it was actually a BG cover of the song. I havn't looked back since. I even pay for their music. Greatest band ever!
I totally agree. This entire DVD just blew me away...especially when they did "And Then There Was Silence"...the entire song just gave me the chills, and especially when they did the chorus :D
@suprsonickath The song is about Mordred, King Arthur Pendragon's illegitimate bastard son by his half-sister Morganna LeFay. More specifically I think its about Mordred feeling cheated of his birthright, the throne of Camelot.
Same for me in Barcelona 2006, although not in the first row downstairs, but in a sort of balcony upstairs. Goosebumps and tears of joy, great memory :)
@ArcturiusPendragon Not just that, but also BG using that theme as a stage to explore the concept of being aware of your fate, not liking it, and wanting to change it. Mordred is really good for this as he and Arthur ALMOST made peace but fate conspired that it wasn't to be so. (Or they just had really bad luck)
Yeah definitely, I'd never actually heard that ATTWS before this dvd, I know i'm ashamed i'm really glad about randomly finding blind guardian best thing thats happened in my life!!!! Talking of parts that go through me:ATTWS (apart from the whole song) The night shall be over now there's nothing more to fear, da da da daaa daaa daaa da da da daa etc etc.
@PennyDreadful1 o no, you got me wrong. totally wrong, both of you. Manowar are the gods of metal like there is only one king ( elvis) Blind Guardian is as i said so intricate that they can call themselves the bards of metal, that is a VERY big compliment coming FROM a bard
Haha... Mordred. To anybody who's ever watched Father Ted, he sort of became a bit of a narm. I mean, "Spider-Baby".... I can hear dougals voice in my head each time I hear is name
The darkness of this album(Imaginations)is why it's one of my favourites, personally. Dark power metal? When I was ignorant about power metal I thought that was impossible and the entire genre was flowery and cheesy. Blind Guardian are neither.
Wow, so that's why I love this band so much despite my hate for power metal as a genre! I was actually wondering what differences them from the others. But it seems that's it
@BlindGuardian341 nonono the gods of metal are manowar, there is nothing wrong with being the bards of metal, since the music they make is so complex and intricate they have the right to be called bard ( not to be mistaken for minstrel:P)
i prefer Grave Digger's one Leader of the underworld, ruler of the night Deceiver of kings, deceiver of knights Keeper of the secret Reich, keeper of the light I am Mordred, King of the night
hansi singing was the best during this night opera tour...after his voice went to shit...now i guess he is little better...God knows can he return in this shape
OMG He is human 0.0. Their tours are longer now than during Opera Tour and 2 years of touring for singers is a lot. Hansi is 54yo after all. he already in the natural voice decline curve for a man. He is in very good shape now, he always recovers his voice with rest and careful trainning but don't expect crazy vocal showcases at his age during a long tour.

I may be wrong, but to me this live version is 3x times better than the studio one.
ye, you are wrong, its 10x times better :P
Blind Guardian is absolutely amazing on stage.

It's kinda impossible not to like this band.
I finally saw them live 2024
They're really epic live. Theres not alot of bands that is this good.
mrchriss
System of a Down. As much as I love them, they take the "making entertainment" part too seriously
I've lost my battle before it starts
My first breath wasn't done
My spirit's sunken deep
Into the ground
Why am I alone
I can hear my heartbeat
Silence's all around
See hate will rise
So don't come closer
Fear your child
Born with a king's heart
But fate fooled me
And changed my cards
Noone asked if I want it
If I like it
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Nothing else
But laughter is around me
Forevermore
Noone can heal me
Nothing can save me
Noone can heal me
I've gone beyond the truth
It's just another lie
Wash away the blood on my hands
My father's blood
In agony we're unified
I never wanted to be
What they told me to be
Fulfill my fate then I'll be free
God knows how long
I tried to change fate
Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn
Turn off the light
And murder the dawn

I Love The Part "Born With A Kings Heart"
God The Way He Screams It Just Goes Right Through Me!!!!
P.S. Thats A Good Thing
Mordred's Song...It's Perfect...Hope They'll Come Again In Greece....
omg what a dope times ...... .that drummer was the backbone of the band
Can't disagree to that
Yep, the new guy is ok, but Thomen was on a totally different level of groove and heaviness.
I totally agree. This entire DVD just blew me away...especially when they did "And Then There Was Silence"...the entire song just gave me the chills, and especially when they did the chorus :D

blind guardian is live awesome because of the crowd :D
@PennyDreadful1 o no, you got me wrong. totally wrong, both of you.
Manowar are the gods of metal like there is only one king ( elvis)
Blind Guardian is as i said so intricate that they can call themselves the bards of metal, that is a VERY big compliment coming FROM a bard
@SrehtorcLeinad Very cool, I never thought of that, but you're right, Mordred is really good for exploring that concept. \m/
Como amo essa música:)
Pode crer!!!
Blind Guardian é maravilhoso.
or search for the lyrics on google ;)
it is "fate fooled me"...
@gazbg123 Sorry, but not in this version! Believe me,he sang pain fooled me!
Studio is fate fooled me
this is epic !!
@suprsonickath Mordred from King Arthur-legend, I have been told.
I'm Amercian i'm sorry amercians cant make this music. I mean come on this is live and it sounds like they are in a studio lol... To great.
This sound WAY better than studio
Haha... Mordred.
To anybody who's ever watched Father Ted, he sort of became a bit of a narm.
I mean, "Spider-Baby".... I can hear dougals voice in my head each time I hear is name
4:58 best outro ever
Nice
The darkness of this album(Imaginations)is why it's one of my favourites, personally. Dark power metal? When I was ignorant about power metal I thought that was impossible and the entire genre was flowery and cheesy. Blind Guardian are neither.

1:19 Heart attack alert!
@carpaholic70 Listen one more time because it definitely is fate fooled me :P lol
@carpaholic70 Fate** fooled me :P
Sorry i just have to correct people :/
Why nobody talks about Hansi inviting the guest bassist to the main scenario during the solo? :(
They play almost the entire imaginations album on this DVD. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not really one of their greater albums...
@MasterFortis Это правда, друг мой!
1:12 Holy shit, that was far much better sung than in the original
The entire song was lmao
Mordred reminds me of Maeglin a little bit.
@Endarfin Geez you hold Manowar in higher regard then BG!? Manowar is far from as consistently awesome and their lyrics ech.
My second favorite band... Amazing performance :D They're a metal bards of this fucking shitty world!!! keep the faith!
Can anyone tell me which album this song is ON ? I mean not the acoustic version but this version
Imaginations from the other side (1995)
