2 best things ever to happen in my life: finding out about Blind Guard; and beating 3 dragons attacking at the same time in skyrim while listening to this song
Thanks to the shit this album has got, I left it `till the very end when listening to the whole BG discography. I find it dynamic, creative, catchy and amazing. Its not a step down or fuck up after Night at The Opera (power metal masterpiece), its simply a different direction. Oh and other thing, Hansi fucking slays on the album. Frederick might not be Thomen but clearly brought new things to the table, he´s very skilled. Peace out ya´ll.
After Bruce Dickinson I put Hansi...he is truly amazing...I love this song especially the chorus...You are a pawn in the game,you are slaves to the blind oblivion...spine chilling..
I put Hansi over Bruce. When Hansi nails it then it is insane. But then again, so is Bruce. My first concert ever was in 2005, Ullevi. Check it out here on youtube, it´s all filmed
I love it but the vocals of this album are weak compared the others. And Otherland is one of my favourite books and favourite songs but the vocals of the album are not the best... The vocals of the live are awesome
No idea why either. This was their last great album. Turn the Page, Otherland, Fly/Dead Sound, Lionheart, Skalds and Shadows, Straight through the Mirror, Another Stranger Me. That's a ratio of over 50% great songs. Compare it to At the Edge of Time which is easily their worst post-Nightfall album. A Voice in the Dark, Curse My Name and Sacred Worlds, and the latter song barely counts since it was taken from a separate project. Or Beyond the Red Mirror, which despite being better than the previous album, is filled with weak choruses that don't fit the songs they're attached to. All build up with very little pay off.
Ich hatte Karten aber muste Sonderschicht schieben, ich hätte kotzen können, wochenlang schlechte Laune aber danke für die ganzen Videos ,das machts dann erträglicher...
@lioubinos99 Listen to it really closely in the album version the two guitarists do a solo where one of them is hammering the notes and the other one is playing the solo he plays in this live version. So basically it's like two solos in one it's flippin epic. I mean this is sweet but the album version i was like O_O
I think ive watched this video more than 100 times. this is probably the second best live performance ive seen apart from Hangar 18 (I actually went to that and it was incredible) but this is too good for words.
Simply amazing live! the guitarists are amazing on the backing vocals which is pretty rare. One of the best live bands ive ever heard, up there with muse in my books live. Hansi's Godlike vocals are mindblowing!! Cant say enough about this band. musically orgasmic might be the best description i can come up with!
Hehe, sie haben angekündigt auf einige Festivals zu gehen, von denen offiziell noch nicht alle angekündigt sind. Wie gesagt, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. =)
10.10 munich - zenith. going to be my first BG concert. it's actually a cool thing that they're going to rock the zenith. the last time they were in town, they played at a smaller venue.
There are sometimes where I wish he would just hit those sick, sick notes I know he can hit. But other times he just makes the song ten times more interesting.
incredible...one of the best bands ever!!!!! they kicked ass in the middle 80's and they are still kickin ass in 2008!!...ehmke might not be so good as thomen stauch (he was the god of drums realy) but he is good in his own way and he rocks...listen to these bards that are the masters of metal!!!
Actually, their bassist have been ALWAYS the same, Oliver Holzwarth, since 1998 when they recorded the Nightfall in Middle-Earth. Obviously I mean since then till nowadays.
@Kiter02 ok mate,anyway!!!both album and live sounds kickass!after all its blind guardian!!! great song great band great live great everything!!! cant wait to see them live in may!
i wish the guitars would turn the distortion down a bit. and maybe even let the bass through sometimes. I wonder..Is there a BG tune where the bass doesnt mimic the guitar lines? Love this song, and all other guardian tunes. long live BG!

This was the first BG album I ever bought, I love every song!
@s1ckbastard Hansi Kürsch doesn't get lyrics wrong. They simply change at his will.
After Bruce Dickinson I put Hansi...he is truly amazing...I love this song especially the chorus...You are a pawn in the game,you are slaves to the blind oblivion...spine chilling..

Pues que sepas, que HAnsi tiene dos registros más en CANTO que Bruce.
I don't think there's anybody in the world that doesn't like this song!!!!
bum bum bum bum bum dididodaday!!!!!!
10/10
It's a tragedy how maligned by the fandom this album is.
+TrevRockOne Is not a bad album, but come on... Is not like the other ones
wait what? this is like my second favorite BG album :I
I love it but the vocals of this album are weak compared the others. And Otherland is one of my favourite books and favourite songs but the vocals of the album are not the best...
The vocals of the live are awesome
yes, better expressed than me. I meant the weak point, not that they were weak. They are overproduced, layered, autotuned. I didn't like them.

this is one of my favorite songs by blind guardian! it sounds like different forms of music mixed into one song.
Hansi's voice is fucking great, my favorite singer.
BG Riffs are fucking awesome, BG is fucking great
11 years later your still right
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
Too little of this kind of music in our world. :)
I've seen them live twice, so I can assure you...
It's not just you...
Their live performances are monumental...
Fucking AMAZING!!
EPIC ending to this song!!!!!!
Quite possibly my favorite blind guardian song.
I love his vocals, and the song is wonderfully written
The WORLDS most underrated Band!!! THese are fucking epic!!!

one of the best with Fly and Another Stranger Me
This song is so fucking awesome.

BG live performance is awesome, because they are modern/electric bards.
They creates a really great musical experience.

Amazing Band, Amazing Song! Thx for sharing, mate!

Simply amazing live! the guitarists are amazing on the backing vocals which is pretty rare. One of the best live bands ive ever heard, up there with muse in my books live.
Hansi's Godlike vocals are mindblowing!!
Cant say enough about this band.

Blind guardian sang of Tolkein, and there was much rejoicing.
Hehe, sie haben angekündigt auf einige Festivals zu gehen, von denen offiziell noch nicht alle angekündigt sind. Wie gesagt, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. =)
I absolutely love their heroic chorusses!
otherland !!!! i love this song !!!!
That song is my favorite song of theirs.

Blind Guardian is obviously one of the greatest bands in all time! I wish they'd hold a live concert in Edmonton :(
Wow. Couldn't even tell it apart from the studio recording until about a minute and a half in. I need to see them live!
This... Is the best thing I have ever heard rom a live recording.. EVERR!!!!!
You're part of the game, you're a slave to the grind.

10 Oktober YEAAHH Das wird HAMMER
Actually, their bassist have been ALWAYS the same, Oliver Holzwarth, since 1998 when they recorded the Nightfall in Middle-Earth. Obviously I mean since then till nowadays.
This is so much better than the studio version. A shame that the album is so badly mixed.
Impossible!
@Kiter02 ok mate,anyway!!!both album and live sounds kickass!after all its blind guardian!!!
great song great band great live great everything!!!
cant wait to see them live in may!
I wonder if they know that they are the greatest band ever =P
awesome song, like every songs they do ^^
@retrofisk i know!!i love his voice!best band to see live in my opinion.
They rule the land, they´re in command
E P I C
Andre should play more of the little riffs from the studio version because they make the song so fuckin awesome!
He's playing almost all concarts with them, but still on guest musician spot. There were, are and will be 4 Bards ;)
give a twist in the myth to a random band. all will say that this album rocks
hansi seemed sick at the beginning, until the first chorus, i was just waiting for him to break thru the shit stuff and get to it. he got to it!!
IT IS THE BEST BAND :D\m/
If This Happens Your Gonna See Me At The Front Having The Time Of My Life!!!!!!
(Who Wouldn't Be)????
I thought they could never pull this live, but somehow they did it.
I wish the new album was even half as awesome as this one.
OH MY DOG
This song is even better if you've read the books by Tad Williams.
i wish the guitars would turn the distortion down a bit. and maybe even let the bass through sometimes.
I wonder..Is there a BG tune where the bass doesnt mimic the guitar lines?
Love this song, and all other guardian tunes.
long live BG!
The loss of their drummer did put a dampening in that department.... but they are still a great group no matter what.
It is " a slave to the grind", but is great anyways, it gives me the goosebumps:D
fucking right!
Damn was hoping they were going to do the album version of the solo =(
hells ye-uh
Blind Guardian with a great song and great Lyrics.I love them.
Speed Metal at it´s Best from Germany!!!
@ZachValkyrie Of course. I've listened to all of their albums by now.. lol.
