I always prefer their live versions and most of it is thanks to the amazing crowd. There's just something about their music that's amplified so much by crowd singing along.
Man, Hansi could just get the crowd to sing the whole damn song, but then we'd miss out on his amazing voice, only blind guardian can get a crowd this epic
The Chorus gives me chills everytime. MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL. TRUE HOPE LIES BEYOND THE COAST. YOU'RE A DAMNED KIND CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE WINDS WILL CHANGE!
I love how the lead guitarist looks soo happy. There are many bands that look angry when they play, but when I see blind guardian I can tell they're having a really good time. That's one of the reasons I love their music.
I hate Lord of the Rings. The movie was terrible and I have heard that the book is even more boring. Why anyone would like to watch a movie how some people wonder in a forest and talk to the trees? Boring compilation of special effects! I'd rather watch even Water-world. This band has also made songs about Peter Pan - which has almost as little street credit as Lame of the Rings. Their music is very good though and I bought Imaginations from the Other Side just to listen to their music. The lyrics are just cringe!
@@danielsantslv4565 Thats not true. some singing techniques allow singing over a long period. The singer of the scorpions sang all day when they were recording. it just depends on how much mass you have to accelerate in your throat. if you sing more with your mouth and tongue its less straining
@@Ginkoman2 except that Klaus Meine’s singing is entirely different from that of Hansi, with Hansi’s requiring more usage of harsher techniques and higher notes that would damage anyone’s voice if done excessively, and not even Meine himself could do that.
I like the studio version as well but they have that special interaction with us (their fans) that makes their gigs unique. Plus they are incredible musicians
Blind Guardian: One of the very few bands where LIVE = ALBUM!!!! 100% perfect, no fail. Nearly imbossible. No wonder my head is about to explode after the first song of a concert of them :) Haaaaansi!!!!!
I discovered Hansi from Avantasia, yeah a power metal fan who haven’t listened to Blind Guardian (I should be shot) since discovering him I can’t get enough of these and “demons and wizards” what a voice! So unique! Music is constant entertainment! Great band!!!!
I love the way Hansi sings 'that the winds will change' in this version. He just turns on his internal voice distortion or something. The way he sings that is better than the album.
yeah bro.. i saw them live yesterday..i cant believe that hansi still has the same godish voice live after all these years he is singing.when valhalla came in we were all singing for extra 4 minutes Valhaaallaaaaa deliverance hahaha it was so awesome..hansi said Absolutely fucking amazing.i truly believe that they had to see such a good live for a long time :) Long live Blind Guardian \m/
Geniales..!! ..Dioses ó Monstruos del Power Metal ?, aaa da igual cualquiera o ambas..!! pero sin duda los mejores, toda una super bandaaaaaaaa..!!, aparte de toda su discografia de oro, blind guardian nos ha mostrado una trayectoria admirable y eso demuestra por que son considerados una de las mejores agrupaciones sobre la faz de la tierra, Hansi y coros, en pocas palabras... Son Impresionantes ..!! All My Life Blind Guardian..!! Clearly, If Long Life To Blind Guardian..!!
this the top of epic Metal nothing is better than BG. This song and Band is epic pour. I wish that it gave more bands like them. And God thanks for Hansi´s voice
@@andrear5776 Dorn? Cmon man, you could’ve picked a better singer. He’s great and all but he’s nowhere near Hansi, not in range, power, versatility, or tone.
Far, far beyond the island We dwelt in shades of twilight Through dread and weary days Through grief and endless pain It lies unknown The land of mine A hidden gate To save us from the shadow fall The lord of water spoke In the silence Words of wisdom I've seen the end of all Be aware the storm gets closer Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That tomorrows bears insanity Gone's the wisdom Of a thousand years A world in fire and chains and fear Leads me to a place so far Deep down it lies my secret vision I better keep it safe Shall I leave my friends alone Hidden in my twilight hall (I) know the world is lost in fire Sure there is no way to turn it Back to the old days Of bliss and cheerful laughter We're lost in barren lands Caught in the running flames Alone How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Even though The storm calmed down The bitter end Is just a matter of time Shall we dare the dragon Merciless he's poisoning our hearts Our hearts How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change
"Wir möchten jetzt nochmal... EURE HÄNDE SEHN´ - Ein letztes mal, lasst uns zur Tat schreiten, MIRROR MIRROR on the wall, wir wern´ euch niemals vergessen!!" Awesome, eine der besten Deutschen Power-Metalbands ever, wenn nicht die beste.
I saw them last night in Massachusetts. Best show I've ever been to. While video's like this are great, it still does them zero justice. It must be seen and heard live in person.
thats why i love metal. And always will. People get really into it on an emotional level. Headbanging, singing along, everybody on the same page. No bullshit.
I never see Blind Guardian as a band for party, but common, the way this music is placed in the middle of the album, the concert, the performance, the people, everything is goosebumps for me listening 15 years after. THe more the world decays the greater these old moments become
Fuck... I've heard this song hundreds of times, maybe thousands. But it still gives me GOOSEBUMPS each time. This song is the definition of EPIC METAL. Live long and prosper Blind Guardian. Ill never stop listening to your music... And I want this song to be played on my funeral.
There isn't a better band than this, period! I like a lot of other bands just as well, but quality wise, Blind Guardian is at the absolute top of the pile!!!!
The drummer is called Thomen Stauch, he left Blind Guardian 2005 for his own side project called Savage Circus (with the Persuader singer and guitarist). The new drummer is called Frederik Ehmke.
