"European metal heads probably are born knowing the words to this song"
Me: they were probably created to this song
i think both is correct. .. made to the song and knowing the lyrics at birth :-)
Blind Guardian are probably the most _wholesome_ band I've ever come across, they're really 4 genuine dad-aged guys who like to make music and tell stories.
The European metal scene is such a goldmine of talent, and you're absolutely right about Hansi being so unassuming.
He doesn't need it.
When the band comes to hear the fans rather then the fans coming to hear the band.
Blind Guardian has made an album based on the book The Silmarilion by JRR Tolkien. It's called Nightfall in Middle-Earth. 😁
Thank you for the info. I will look for that album!
To this day they are still chanting VALHALLA!!!!!
Yes, we most surely do :)
There are still faint echoes in the streets of Wacken ;)
Check out Blind Guardian "And then there was silence". Amazing song and the live version gives a good display of Hansi's range.
The live version!
Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror - Is realy cool song with a lot of energy and nice live video!)
Fun Fact: This song is originally a Duett recorded in 1989.. Hansi sings it with guest singer Kai Hansen from Gamma Ray/ Helloween. Kai is a major player in german metal music, he has his his hands in almost every metal production in Germany if not Europe. Kai has a very distinct voice so when Blind Guardian performed this song live (and obviously it is a crowd pleaser and a fan favourite) he had to come up with a way to sing with himself a duett.
Blind Guardian is very much inspired by fantasy literature, esp. lord of the rings, so your fairytale associations are spot on.
They partnered with a video game company a couple of years ago and they worked with them on a game called "Sacred 2".
They made an virtual in game concert (as a reward for a quest the player gets the song) and that song "Sacred worlds" is great as well and a recommendation.
Hansi had his training during blind guardian's career. If you listen to their albums in chronological order you can clearly hear the transition taking place.
my favorite album of them is nigth fall in middle earth, it's perfect
Mirror Mirror, time stands still, bright eyes and nightfall are great choices from blind guardian! Such an amazing band!
"Born in a mourning hall" and "Tanelorn" are great too from Blind Guardian.
Yeah, since Hansi has cut his hair he looks just like a nice uncle xD
He is most known for recording vocals with complex layering. It is often like a duet with himself. He even recorded a choir album where he sang all of the voices. And his voice has this inherent overtone, so even without that extensive layering it sounds pretty special.
Listen also to..helloween... keeper of the 7 keys.....
BG albums usually are concept albums around fantasy a lot, even tolkiens silmarillion (lord of the rings author) was part of an album. Songs are epic studio versions usually use choirs in choruses and it is bombastic in terms of production.
Wow, loved your reaction. I am a fan of J.R.R Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings Books and have never been a fan of metal music until I read somewhere that Blind Guardian made a concept album inspired by Tolkiens book "The Silmarillion". I had to buy this album because I found it very interesting how a fantasy book inspires a metal band to make an album. Since then I am listening to metal music and became a fan of Blind Guardian, Eluveitie, Jinjer, Sabaton, Ayreon and of course Nightwish. I like Epica, Kamelot, Within Temptation and metal music in general and all because Blind Guardian made this one album.
And as some people call Tuomas the "Metal Mozart" because of his fantastic compositions, some call Hansi "The Bard" because of his great storytelling. He IS the Bard that travels from town to town singing stories with his very distinct voice.
There is a legend saying that if you pass by the cattle pastures of Wacken (where the festival takes place) at night and listen very closely, you can still hear the crowd sing "Valhalla".
Edit: Forgot to say that your "Ever Dream" Cover sounds pretty good already. I think it will be great.
Really??!! Cool!! I need that album!! I'm a Tolkien fan too!
@@elianaegomez8646 The Name of the album is: "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" and is the sixth studio album of the band. It has a lot of short spoken tracks inbetween the actual songs. The very first track is a conversation between Morgoth and Sauron in which Sauron tells his King that the enemy (the elves) are in the fortess already and suggests Morgoth should flee to the deep places ("There are places below") where he should be safe. But Morgoth says: "And you know them too. I release thee. My servant shall be for all time" and then the first song "Into the storm" begins. There are songs like "The Curse of Feanor", "Mirror Mirror", "Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns) and "Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)".
Its a really great album, I love it.
i suggest you alsotry WindRose ( italian band who act and dress as dwarves and have several Tolkien related songslike " To Erebor") and then there is also a band called Baruk Khazad ....isuggest to trytheirsong "Khazad Aimenu"
Thank you so much!
Mirror mirror from guardian, and the scarecrow of avantasia! Cheers from argentina!
Please bring us more reactions about Blind Guardian. I've loved your reaction. And plus you have such a great voice. Salute from brazil.
Thank you so so much!
Please also check out Mirror Mirror. That is Blind Guardian's other signature song.
Anastasia your reaction was great, please the Blind Guardian react to:
1. Mirror Mirror
2. Nigthfall
3. Into the Storm
This video is ridiculous. The crowd sings really well and even claps in tempo with q song that changes time signature like a million times.
Of course Hansi is amazing as well.
Great reaction!
BTW if you like great guitars and voice you should listen to Unleash the Archers, amazing power metal from Canada. Awakening is a good introduction
Oh and from this band I like Mirror Mirror for example
Yes, you did it!!!
ok, I try the translation.
First part:
I would also like to let you scream longer, unfortunately we have little time left. Of course, we want to spend it with music. I think most of you will know what comes next. It was already 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!
At the end of "Valhalla":
Looks cool. Sounds cool. I think I've done enough work.
We should... (I can`t understand it) get into the game. You'll have to sing a little louder for that.
"sing louder"
"mega"
"sing us off the stage"
"the last three"
Concerning the part you couldn't understand, he says "I think Magnus [rhythm guitarist Markus "Magnus" Siepen] has done enough work, we should bring Frederik [Ehmke, drummer] into play now"
I`ve seen a lot of reaction videos of Blind Guardian, my favorite band of all time, but this was on of the best! Great reaction!
Thank you so much!
Do Avantasia - The Scarecrow (The Flying Opera) live HD at Wacken 2011
I'll second this
Yes!!!
Now will be one week with the chorus stick in the brain...
I saw them once in a small venue in Asheville, North Carolina just before Christmas years ago. OMG!
Yes, check out more Blind Guardian because there's never enough of them!
"Mirror Mirror" would be great or "And then there was silence".
You should also react to Avantasia - The scarecrow live (the flying opera). Tobias was in the Aryeon's TDTWBD, too!
The bard song!
Demons and wizards - Fiddler on the green and Crimson king from Wacken (the title on yt says just 2 songs, but it's these two), Hansi was in brill form on that show.
Really love your enthusiastic reactions!
I hope I can contribute some facts from the top of my head (Blind Guardian were my first metal band, I got to know them in '98 :) ). If I remember correctly, Hansi only started to take singing lessons prior to their fifth studio album "Imaginations From The Other Side" in '95. "The Bard's Song" is from their fourth album "Somewhere Far Beyond" in '92 ("Valhalla" is taken from "Follow The Blind" in '89). In my opinion you can clearly hear how his singing improved (though he was good before). He also was playing bass guitar until '96 but then wanted to focus on singing further on. (For touring they have a session bass players ever since, never hired an official fifth band member, though the current one, also seen during the Valhalla recording, is only the second session member, they are kind of consistent with their lineup (Hansi and lead guitarist André Olbrich are founding members, rhythm guitarist Markus Siepen joined before their first album, they only switched their drummer once since starting recording albums, first six were with Thomen Stauch, since 2005 it's Frederik Ehmke.)
Concerning the lead guitars, which I totally love too, in my opinion, André is one of, if not the, the best lead guitarists in the Power Metal genre.
Another great song of theirs and one of my favourites is "And Then There Was Silence" about Cassandra (prior to the Trojan War from Greek mythology), it is a very long though and I don't know if there is a decent live video on CZcams, but the studio record is awesome! Besides this one, every song from their album "Imaginations From The Other Side" ('95) and "Nightfall In Middle-Earth" ('98) is a great experience, among many others from their career.
Keep up the good work! And I am looking forward to your Nightwish covers! :)
Greetings from Germany!
I love your reactions :D There's 2 other bands you really should check out:
Powerwolf - Demons are a girls best friend / We Drink Your Blood / Resurrection by Erection / Armata Strigoi
Unleash The Archers - Awakening / Legacy / Faster Than Light / Tonight We Ride / Time Stands Still
Both bands are powermetal, Powerwolf has a male vocalist and UTA has a Female Vocalist. and they are both awesome
liked before watching.
did not get disappointed.
thank you
Thank you so much for dipping into Blind Guardian's music. Loved your reaction. The Bard's song is not just a song; it is an anthem. Blind Guardian's music has more crowd participation than any other live songs that I have ever heard. Hansi literally does not have to sing the Bard's song; the crowd will do it for him. If you wish to continue, please do Nightfall live either at Wacken 2011 or Rockpalast 2016.
Except that this wasn't the end of the show... because "Ohne mirror, gehen wir nich zu haus" (Without Mirror, we won't go home) because Mirror Mirror has always been the last song since 1998, with the exception of the Imaginations anniversary tour a few years ago...
Also, listen to And Then There Was Silence from their DVD Imaginations Through The Looking Glass (also... get the full DVD).
Blind guardian has been on of my personal fav bands. Id suggest the whole "somewhere far beyond " album
You might also enjoy another project Hansi is involved in called "Demons and Wizards ".
And the story ends, Mirror mirror Studio version, Nightfall, Sacred, Bright eyes
First video I’ve seen of yours. You have great energy, and Guardian never disappoints. I would honestly be happy to see you react to any of their other songs, they are by far my favorite band. Seen them live twice and I’ve never been to another concert so memorable. Keep up the great work and loving the preview of the cover!
Oh you have to listen to Mirror mirror and Nightfall and my favourite versions by far are the 2011 Wacken ones. Simply incredible.
I love ....and then there was silence. Same Band and THATS a fucking story (okay, its very long: about 14 min long) absolutely freaking worth to listen to. By the way: nice reaction.THX for that.
You should really check out their album 'Nightfall In Middle-Earth', especially the song 'Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill)'
Germany is the kingdom of metal !!!!!
This is happens When 82.000 Metall Head s Singing
Heels and gothic dresses!! 🔥🤘🤘
Blind Guardian is playing in front of 82000 Fans with the same energy as if they play a smaller venue with 500 Fans....seen that happen several times...they are Gold !! Try Mirror Mirror from them next - this is always the last song of the Set...and this one goes really wild....! and if you want to do some research on our Bard Hansi - the Albums "Somewhere far beyond" and "Nightfall in Middle Earth" are Gold Standard. No other way to say that.....oh...and Hansi IS a nice guy.
Maybe Mark from Kardavox Academy could help you add a bit of distortion when needed. It's always fun seeing youtubers collaborating.
The look on Hansis face at the beginning of the song. :)
Awesome...
Another great German band to check out is Primal Fear.
A story, a movie ? Try the whole album "Operation : Mindcrime" by Queensryche!
hey you can do those distorted voices, you've got everything it takes. Relaxing your neck and supporting yourself with your stomach, use your head voice and try to modulate it in a relaxed way until you "find" the subharmonic folds. I wasn't able to do it without hurting myself until I was able to relax everything and use my stomach. You can find this muscle if you make the sound that is made when falling on the couch exhausted (some like: ahhh..!). Sorry for my English and a greeting I hope I have helped.
U should react to "and then there was silence" by them honestly theyre most magical song
Many thanks for your reaction and insight
Thank you for checking my video. It was blocked for 2 days, so I’m glad it got unblocked :)
They are around for over 30 years so there are a lot of stuff to react to. XD hm, maybe and then there was silence would be an great experience for you.
Hi there anastasia..in fact it's not about the medival time..blind guardian are greats fans of tolkien..and many of their songs are about tolkien's lord of the rings
Its powerfull love the outfit you rock good one good job on covers keep it metal big fan
Thank you so much!
Fun reaction. What I love about Blind Guardian is how they engage with their audience like you saw here. Their fans as as committed (if not more) than Nightwish's.
Since you like guitar runs and Hansi's vocals, I like "Twighlight of the Gods". It's the second track of their "Beyond the Red Mirror" album. The lyrics for the Album were written by Hansi and the music was composed by Andrè the lead guitarist and Hansi. The album is worth just putting on repeat on Spotify.
Twilight of the Gods: czcams.com/video/C4TorvOfBWE/video.html (recommended reaction)
Beyond the Red Mirror Wiki Info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_Red_Mirror
BTW, if you just want some recent straight up metal from them, they just released a new single "Violent Shadows" and played it live at Wacken World Wide 2020 last August. It's pretty sick. They played it as part of 3-song set. He has a nice (in English) back-and-forth with the audience at the beginning of the set you'd probably like.
• Full set: czcams.com/video/oBieoMlzOEg/video.html - Welcome to Dying (1990), Violent Shadows (2020), and Majesty (1988)
• Violent Shadows start: czcams.com/video/oBieoMlzOEg/video.html
There are tons of albums, songs as well as YT live concerts. Enjoy your ride with them, it'll be fun.
P.S., your Ever Dream cover looks like it's coming along nicely.
Typically in Blind Guardian, lead guitarist André Olbrich writes the music and Hansi writes the lyrics and vocal melodies.
want guitar solos maxed out chekc helloween keeper of the seven keys at pumpkins united tour live. all 3 singers of theri career plus 3 guitars great voices epic solos ! one of the most influential power metal bands together with blind guardian
Great Anastasia - now, as someone else mention, if you to hear another project Hansi participate into, Avantasia - leaded by Tobias Sammet (the captain in Ayreon's The day that the word breaks down) -slso together with a norwegian power metal hero Jørn Lande - the Raven Child: czcams.com/video/czJJBH-7J5s/video.html:
