I'm making a very large statement with the topic description but i was watching a blind guardian concert video and the way everything is soo perfect, the guitar riffs never falter, Hanzies voice is always perfect and the crowd chants along with every word, is blind guardian the greatest powermetal act of all time?
I have that "Imaginations Through The Looking Glass" concert video and it's really amazing! No mistakes in playing, singing, the crowd is amazing! Nothing to say - awesome!
Blind Guardian Are Fantastic!!!
Hansi Kursch is an absolute amazing vocalists / lyricist and he also writes some of the greatest Vocal melodys off all time!!
Andre Olbrich and Marcus Siepen are an awesome Guitar Duo, there Melodys are Supernatural, Just fantastic!!! Live its twice as good!!!
And Thomen Stauch when he was in the band was a fantastic drummer, absolutely amazing, there new drummer though, Frederick Ehmke, is Unreal!!! Super Solid drum beats!!
One last thing, one of the single greatest experiences of my life was seeing Blind Guardian live and singing along to "The Bards Song - In The Forest" watch a live video of that song, its a Unreal experience!!!
BLIND GUARDIAN OWN

There the song i love so much, the crowd does all the work, and its so awesome to be apart of that!!
That song made me get all of their albums!!
The song that did that for me was seeing them play Under The Ice live, the intor melody jus gives me chills!!
They are so good musicians and have very original stuff! I have seen them live in a small place called Cemento here Argentina when they were presenting Nightfall in the middle.... The did a perfect concert, as Pavel said that they did in the concert video.
I used to listen them but when I listened to Imaginations from the other side album I got all their albums.
Valhalla live is apparently really good to my friends went to see them,( i missed them so the world is apparently going to end because i wouldn't miss them for anything ) The band plays Valhalla and walks off the stage, the crowd keeps chanting the chorus for 30 minutes until the band comes back out and plays it one more time hahaha
I listened to some of their stuff, it didnt enthrall me that much but maybe thats just me.
Couldnt really complain about them that much either, I just didnt find it too awe inspiring.
YES I AM!!!
If you would have been here like a week ago, my Signature would be the cover of the new EP.
I love the new EP By the way, And Framming Armageddon looks to be another super kick ass Iced Earth album!!
Iced earth is a HUGE Influence on me!
You know whats funny is I just found 3 inches of blood last week too. Man I really dig those guys. Not only are they talented, but they seem like they are really cool people too.
Yeah they do, i really want to see them live, the new album is amazing, check out my review on it.
Three Inches of Blood is playing Ozzfest if you can get tickets. I couldn't Im so mad that i missed out on threeinches of blood a bit go, they were playing a small bar near my house and the cost was only 10 bucks at the door, my friend and i were gunna go but i had something going on so i missed a great show im sure
They seem to tour quite alot, so im sure they will be back soon enough!
I saw Blind Guardian a couple of years ago here in Sweden. Best I´ve ever seen. But then again it was my favourite band at the time and I knew all the songs. Heck, I couldn´t swallow for a whole day because my throat was messed up for screaming/singing a long for over 2 hours.
And it was like you guys said on that consert too. They went off stage after an amazing show, a long one! Audience was crazy. Screaming for more at least 15-20 minutes and they go back on stage doing 3 songs from Imaginations from the other side record.. just awsome..!
Good but not the best.
Blind Guardian is freakin' awesome! I compare them to a young Helloween up to a certain point, but I really like Blind Guardian alot! It's undescribable
Blind Guardian are simply magnificent!
I love them, I saw them live last Summer at Wacken at it was the best band playing there in my opinion Bard's song is a great song to see live
I like them very much but sometimes it's too bombastic and their music is to crowded. Dunno that's my feel to them.
But still very cool band, saw them @ Graspop '07, too bad they didn't let Guardian play at the mainstage
Really weird
That is weird, i think i know what you mean about crowded, i thought that about "A Night At The Opera", but it was just first impressions for me, i love that album to death!
I don't think i've ever really listened to them but after hearing all of these good remarks about them I definitely will!
This should help you out

My favorite albums are "Somewhere far Beyond" and "Nightfall in Middle-Earth".
I haven't listened to their first three albums yet. Probably will soon though.
Does anyone have an opinion on their latest CD, A twist in the Myth"? Personally I'm gonna have to listen to it a little more. So far I feel there is something missing: It sounds too soft (dunno if I'm explaining this right though)
I think there newest CD is awesome!
Soft? never thought that, the opening song has some badass riffs!
Valhalla live is such a killer song!!
Mirror, Mirror is to me way better than Valhalla live. I wish they released another Live DVD.
cant wait for them to hit the studio again
Blind Guardian is an awesome band! I have a goal to see them live someday!
Yeah they are truly the greatest. I like Somewhere far Beyond and Imaginations from the other side most but there are good stuff on every album. Have to agree with Vinicitur tho, the newest one is a bit "soft and meshy" i think not enough agressivity for me
One cool thing is that Marcus has signed up as an instructor here on master class, im really looking forward to his lessons
Simple Answer no. I like them but Demons and Wizards, Stratovarius, Helloween, Symphony X are better in my opinion.
wait.. is that actually Marcus Siepen as an instructor here?!!!??
YES!!!!!!
OMG! .. i just found the page.. im soooo stoaked!
hehehe great news, we have the guitarrist from the greatest power metal band of all time !!! (after Iron Maiden )
hehe, I'm sorry but IRON MAIDEN is my favourite band !!!!
But don't worry Blind Guardian is also a great band, that's for sure
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2ErYEwYq34
i love this song. to me ,there is no piece of music more beautiful, every time i hear it, it brings a tear to my eye. after listening to it several times today, it inspired me to write something that may turn out similar. so look forward to my first upload soon. or dont.
Post Merged, The Uncreator (We already got 2 seperate BG topics going )
oh my god, Marcus is a teacher at GMC now? I don't even know what the hell to say.
Hehe, don't worry, I also like Maiden, well, I love the first 4 albums, after that I kinda lost my interest in them since they changed too much in a direction that I just didn't like that much anymore, but well, they released The number of the beast and Killers, 2 of the best Metal albums of all times, they deserve respect for sure.
It's so weird talking about Blind Guardian with Marcus like..right there XD
But yeah I got into them a while back.
A Twist In The Myth > Your mom
Well I have never been a metal fan really, but now we have Marcus on board I just had to buy a couple of BG albums, so I just ordered A Twist in the Myth and Somewhere Far Beyond
never REALLY listened to them :S.
ive heard of them and heard from listening to iced earth, i looked on youtube and they did a great song together (not sure if this is true).
Ive heard the bards song too, but thats about it.
any suggestions of songs to get me into them more?
You gotta love Power Metal on the whole Great musicianship and awesome vocals. Blind Guardian are great and they are in my top 5 Power Metal Bands.
Please tell me you like a bit of Judas Priest Marcus? The Ripper and Exciter
I like the one that video was shot here in Belgrade(BIGZ)...first of all great video...
help me Marcus..what is the name of that song...cant find it on youtube
To have a good approach of the Blind Guardian, you can also see the complete concert of the Wacken here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHhIRBhGdJE (Check the related video at the right)
heres my question because im really confuzed by this.. are Demons and Wizards a studio only band? ive had people tell me that.. and ive also had people tell me that they have played concerts! i need clarification
Mostly a studio band, but i know they have done some live shows, and i think they plan on doing some in the future when Hansi and Jon arent doing there respective things. Not sure though, these are rumors after all
Yes, I like Priest, and that video shot in Belgrade is called Another stranger me.
It's so amazing to have here a pro musician like Marcus. You make some good music Marcus, keep on!
Hey I have just started listening to Blind Guardian a few days ago by watching some of their videos on Youtube. The song "Mirror, Mirror," is really awesome, but I want to delve more into the band, can I get some album recommendations? I don't really like live albums, so a studio album recommendation would be great.
Definitly one of my favorite and most unique metal bands... I used to listen to Imaginations from the Other Side all the time... really killer tunes!!! The last album I bought from them was A Night At The Opera (...not so much into metal as I was before) so I haven't checked their latest record yet... and their live DVD is as great as everyone up here already said; perfect playing, amazing vocals and devoted crowd!
Still sad cause I haven't check them live when they were roaming in our city last year
hey marcus, forgot to ask, when will we see a Vahalla lesson?
http://www.sg.hu/cikk.php?cid=59701
You're beautiful Marcus
That is Andre, not me But don't worry, I looked as stupid
We can see you on this one (Page 2 )
omg hansi has lost much weight !
marcus was it funny? looks very interesting btw what's your rule in the game?
http://www.sacred2.com/en/partner/blind-guardian.html
Interesting picture, it must have been awesome to do capturing
NO WAY we would ever go on stage like this It was for sure interesting, but it is kinda weird if you have to pose to a playback with a stick in your hand instead of a guitar, but the guitar would have covered too many of those sensors that were attached to those suits. And about our part in the game, we will appear as NPC's, we will have a quest and if you fulfill this quest we will perform a song that we wrote for that game live on stage. Should be fun to unlock myself
so this has been contemplating in my head for quite a long time now. Do band members rock out or headbang to there own songs? Marcus, do you ever get in your car and just listen to a Blind Guardian album while driving or maybe the only time you listen to yourself play is during a live show.
Actually I don't really listen to BG cd's, cause after spending an eternity on writing those songs, recording them in the studio, and then being on the road with them for 18 months, you don't really feel like listening to them at home But yeah, I sometimes bang my head a bit and sing along... well, I song along in my car, when I am alone and nobody can hear me
"Imaginations Through The Looking Glass" was one of the best dvd i saw in my whole life!
do you remember when the people dont stop to sing:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
VAAAALLLLHALLLLAAAAA yeahhhh
what can i say..... AWESOME

Its an awsome DVD
I have to admit I did not know Blind Guardian before Marcus become GMC instructor. But the more I hear, the more I like it.
Looking forward to see they playing here. Or maybe I just rent a car and go to Germany...
Too bad it´s rare that good acts plays in the north of sweden. It´s not that fun to have to travel 110 km for a single concert every time (stockholm). Ey Marcus.. So when are you coming back to Umeå, Sweden? I remember Hansi screaming out something about the audience being awsome and "we will be back... And I´m not someone that breaks promises" =) Or perhaps he just meant sweden Going to listen to Imaginations from the other side, Somewhere far beyond and NIghtfall in middle earth today at work.. My very favourite records
Keep on rocking!!
The show in Umea was fun, so we might be back next tour, who knows
We will come back to Sweden for sure, but for exacte dates or cities it is a bit to early now
Don't forget Florida
I saw you guys back on the "A Night At The Opera" tour, fantastic show!!!
That was Fort Lauderdale, right? awesome show
Hope you're coming to Norway soon But not to Rockefeller in Oslo, or atleast not until August, since Rockefeller have +18 year only policy... I couldn't see Sonata Arctica last year because of that... But in August that wont be a problem for me anymore
No matter where in the country you come.. I'll be there =D
Great look Marcus

Nice
105 songs in 3 days???? Thats impressive, I have to admit that we are not that flexible Normally we play around 20 songs in a regular show, and for the last tour we rehearsed about 35 songs, so the normal thing would be to change like 3 or 4 songs per night.
They did 3 hours every night and a few songs were a bit messy but they managed it and it was awesome. Your songs are a bit more complex than Pearl Jams but I enjoy both equally.
Changing 3 or 4 songs a night is nice I think. Keeps people that see you twice on same tour interested and the people who only see you once wont be too annoyed that you took all the songs they wanted to hear out.
I'm definitely catching Blind Guardian on the tour if you come anywhere near Nottingham, UK. Play Rock City again please I think you've played there before?
I think Blind Guardian needs to tour in Detroit this year or maybe next year. I missed you guys in 07, so it would be nice to see you guys play again here
Changing those 3 or 4 songs is not only to please our fans, it is also to please ourselves Playing the very same set for 18 months would be VERY boring afzer a while
Yes, sometimes we add some more songs in the middle of the tour, specially before festival season starts, so we can play slightly different sets compared to the regular tour shows. But as soon as we started touring we don't rehearse, we do this intensively before we start the tour, so we are well prepared, and once we are on the road we don't really need any rehearsals, the shows are enough (and we are lazy ) Only during soundchecks we sometimes go through a song in case we didn't play it for some time and plan to add it to the set that night, but even this is rare. We have an awesome crew so we can limit our soundchecks to about 15 minutes, this gives us more time to do sightseeing or to play World of Warcraft Random covers are VERY rare in our shows... actually they almost never happen We had Barbara Ann in the set in the early years, also our cover of Demons Don't break the circle, but aside from those ones we always preferred to play our own stuff. The only rather spontaneous cover that I can remember now was Trial by fire, back then Skyclad opened up for us and two of the guys were original members of Satan, who wrote that song, so we played it live with them.
nice...
Speaking of nothing I´ve been going around screaming (singing) like Hansi for a couple of days. It´s amazing how much power you can get with that kind of singing.... Real funny to do! But it´s hard to sing a long to my BG albums since I don´t not have that kind of register in my voice
When I learned to master it better I´ll make a tribute song to BG Keep on rocking! =)
Heh, speaking of singing.. I've been singing The Bards Song (my favourite song ever!) over and over again lately, for some reason
Just keep singing, you don't need a special reason for this
Especially for The Bard's Song
I turture cats with my voice, though
Thats another reason to go on singing, maybe you will get better one day
I know what game I'll be buying
