  • Don't you love it when a great song has it's comment section overflowing with needlessly negative remarks?

    Me neither.

  • @StarkEspada1 I learned to look at those comments as what they are, the idiotic opinion of someone that is clearly not as intelligent as me for disliking something that I like.

    Because I am an arsehole.

    Tee hee!

  • As for the song: Blind Guardian is a sadly underrated band who do a phenomenal job telling a story in their songs.

  • @UIWWildthing Uh... underrated? Maybe in North America but that's about it...

  • @UIWWildthing To clarify, they usually headline the biggest metal concert in the world Wacken open air...

  • @AtremiousLetsPlay Seeing as I'm in North America, I hope you understand why I said that. Here at least they are.

  • @UIWWildthing they did a american tour last year. sadly i missed it. :(

  • @AtremiousLetsPlay They've never headlined Wacken. They are certainly almost always co-headlining, but they have never been the headlining band. I think they will next year though.

  • All I take from these comments: The internet, its serious business

  • I want to be an Asian viking.

  • @TheHipHopSamurai1

    Ming the Merciless is a good start, just more armour and not so faggy when you get beaten

  • OY! FAGGOTS! DONT TALK, LISTEN! YOU CAME HERE, LISTEN! DON'T LIKE IT, CLICK OUT! WE STILL HAVE ALL YOUR VIEWS! NOW SHUSH YOUR GENDER NEUTRAL MOUTHS AND GO TO YOUR EQUALITY KITCHEN, BEFORE MY BOOT OF PROGRESS GOES SO FAR UP YOUR COLLECTIVE, NON-EROTICIZED TUCCAS YOU BARF LEATHER AND RIVETS! JINGS!

  • @motomify U mad, bro?

  • @motomify The comment section is here for the purpose of talking, is it not?

  • @greendeathify Greendeathify 1, Motomify 0.  He mad bro

  • @motomify lol one of the best comments against other users XD

  • @motomify wtf was that? creative

  • f*king awesome song

  • Then a simple clarafication would suffice. Instead you slander, use libel, and go ahead and use degredation of character which are all amissable in the court of law as cyberbullying and libel. While others will fight back or just take it, I will be more than happy to charge you with violations.

  • @evilkittygurl A simple clarification? Its not my responsibility to make everything so easy to understand that even a cavewoman can do it.

    Also, good job assuming we live in the same country(this matters because not every country has the same laws... Just in case you didnt "get it"), shit for brains. I guess the world just revolves around you, eh?

    Fucking idiot.

  • @endauthority

    Hello ladies, look at yourselves, now back to me, back to yourselves, now back to ME. Sadly, you aren't me, but if you two would stop bitching and understand each other, you could belike me. Look down, back up, where are we? We're on the same video without your little flame war you're battling. What's in your hand? Back to me. I have it. It's those mindless insults you two just fire at each other. The insults are now diamonds! Anything is possible if you all just get along.

  • @XxyzClan its impossibleto get along with someone as dumb as that cunt. i hope she dies

  • @endauthority

    Well, just ignore her. Either she's trolling you, or she just doesn't understand the rules of engagement when it comes to the internetz.

  • @XxyzClan I would ignore her but she came to me. If one says "People hate this album. People are dumb" it can only mean one thing, but she took it as two different unrelated phrases. I had to unleash the hateful power uv teh interwebz upon her for making such a dumb mistake and insisting she knew what i meant more than i did.

    then she threatened legal action, so... what? am i supposed to NOT troll her?

  • @endauthority

    Point taken... threatening legal action is a definite No-No ESPECIALLY on the internet. What the hell am I doing trying to be the neutral guy here? FIRE ZE MISSILES!

  • @evilkittygurl

  • I love how each and every Blind Guardian song has a message/story behind it. This, obviously, is about true love between two lovers. Divine Punishment is about a criminally insane murder who is being executed and sees angels and the gates of Heaven in his final moments. Battlefield is (also obviously) about war and fighting to the death. Great music, great band. :D

  • My favorite song from this band is Battlefield from this album, and they have never played it in concert... that makes me cry

  • @Kewekense if people heard it in person, they'd die from epicness. and BG can't go around making their fan's heads explode, now can they? it's not good for sales.

  • @EpicZantetsuken hahaha that's the best answer i've ever heard upon my question xD

  • @EpicZantetsuken Tenacious D did it, of course by accident

  • @Xwannagod I watched the televised version, I almost got a concussion.

  • people hate this album. people are dumb.

  • @endauthority It's this album that solidified Blind Guardians place as one of my favorite bands. It's such an amazing achievement

  • @endauthority Then you probably should have simply skipped over this song. To blatanty post that you hate this album and people are 'dumb' is immature.

  • @evilkittygurl hey idiot, take 5 seconds and actually read what I said. You may come off as less of an illiterate slut next time.

  • @endauthority I did read your post. You hate this album and people are dumb. And so, I am not an 'illiterate slut' as you so kindly put it. But that however is slader and libel. If you would like to continue I can easily pull out my books and see how much more of a crude person you are making yourself look.

  • @evilkittygurl wow you are fucking retarded.

    I said people hate this album, then I went on to say people (the subject of the previous sentence) are dumb. This implies that the people who hate this album are dumb.

    you are fucking stupid beyond words, the word people CANNOT MEAN "I" for various reasons.

  • TRUE LOVE!

  • why can't i find the cd in the stores anywhere, but online i can, except its expensive?

  • Why isn't this album on iTunes? :(

    I see stuff from ANATO on Pandora all the time.

  • awesome song, awesome band

  • Awesome Song, Awesome Band

  • DEAR GOD. IT'S SO AWESOME. MY BRAIN.....CANT....TAKE IT....

  • I love Blind Gurardian!!!!

    

  • I love Blind Gurardian!!!!

  • see,songs like this make me uber proud to be of German heritage...........and i straight up orgasmed at 2:27 >3<

  • I've had this song stuck in my head for weeks now.

    BEST. SONG. EVER.

  • This song is phenomenal! Hell, Blind Guardian is phenomenal!!! Nightwish and Blind Guardian, KICKASS POWER METAL!

  • I love how the album cover matches the tracks on this album so magnificently. I picture something completely similar whilst listening to each of these songs.

  • my idea of a slow song

  • Blind guardian is so fucking awesome and anyway people excisting who are downloading the music-.- Iv'e bought all the albums (y)

  • Love, the metal way.

    And some orechestra too.

  • The Milkman And The Menstrual Night

  • THE UNEXPECTED FINAL MADE THE SONG

  • it is amazing how this song transports you back in time on a small village deep in the woods... one of Blind Guardian's best songs although i cant really think one of their songs being bad... pure talent

  • @jimmysiv1 The Piper's Calling wasn't much good... Although that was just some bagpipes...

  • @SoulsofFury1 well that wasnt really a "true song" it was something to get us in the mood-feeling for the next song like in nightfall in middle earth's war of wrath, lammoth etc

  • @jimmysiv1 Indeed. Though, unlike The Piper's Calling, I liked the narrations and shorts like the War of Wrath and the others...

  • @SoulsofFury1 true... and actually who didnt like them? and actually who didnt like the album itself? :)

  • @jimmysiv1 Indeed.

  • CRYH most epic part of any song in this world

  • It's been too long since I last listened to my Blind Guardian albums. Now, where did I put them ... ?

  • Dude whats with the opening credits? It's not like you've put any input into this at all, all you've done is taken another persons work, slapped a picture on it and stuck it on youtube and then you sit there thinking your great because you've got 96,000 views..... even though noone will ever even remember you when you die. So the least people like you can do is to not hinder us with your stupid, ametuer opening credits.

  • @mosespart2 well, the quality is just perfect, he made a great job uploading it :D

  • @xmaxdamage Because that's such a hard thing to do. I'm sure the producer had a much harder time getting it to that quality in the first place.

  • @mosespart2 I don't really see the need for this arguing, the video was made nearly 2 years ago and the qualities still great.

    I take no credit in what i've done, i uploaded the song to youtube for people too listen and appreciate, clearly your not one of them!

  • @gazbg123 no I appreciate the music, what I don't appreciate is the opening title and credits (which I might add are done terribly).... why are they there? It's just you trying to put your own little stamp on something that isn't yours because you can't acctually make anything yoursef perhaps? Still at least you havn't done the whole "plz subscribe" or "thanks for subscribing guys I really appreciate it" it thing that a lot of these have.

  • @mosespart2 I understand where your coming from, the only reason i did that was to stop people downloading the video for the track (bear in mind it was nearly 3 years ago)

    I don't really care about the whole 'uploading videos and becoming famous lark' i just want people to listen blind guardian and appreciate them as much as i do.

  • It's a shame they don't play this song live! DAMN! It is beautiful indeed

  • Incredible song from Blind Guardian. And this is probably my favorite Blind Guardian Album.

  • Love the fact that the name of the album is a tribute to Queen. Greatest. British rock band. Ever.

  • Damn... This song is so many beautiful. I cried with it.

  • I'm Alone And Sadness Reigns In My Heart

    und

    Proudly it stands

    Until the world's end

    The victorious banner of love

    Was für wahre Worte das doch sind. Makes me cry :'-(

  • love this song..

    greetings to simon <3

    jessy

  • @qwerty12145 YES, YES YOU DO ;)

  • @gazbg123 caps lock is cruise control for cool.

  • november 6th in Barcelona, in 6 days! I will scream my heart out!

  • now this is fucking metal!!!!!fuck yes!!!!!fuck dragon forse!!!! yes i misspelled it on purpose.

  • This song is one of the best i have heard!! :O

  • song is amazing i wish i could find a live version of it

  • no kidding I've heard this song like 12 times in a row, I'm a big BG fan, but never heard this song so many times as now...

    COME REST YOUR HEAD simply awesome pity they dont sing this masterpiece at concerts

  • easily one of the most epic songs ever created in power metal, even metal in general

  • one of my favorites! so melodic, so romantic, so epic!

  • @tuptamdre The person talking is Isolde. The Beggar is the disguised knight, Tristran, her lover. The person being addressed is Isolde's husband, the king.

  • i want songs like sacred from BG damn

  • Why does iTunes seem to have every album except this one? It makes me sad.

  • @tuptamdre the beggar he indicates is himself, so when he says "Tasting my lips No one but you and him" he is indicating that "the beggar" which is he and the Maiden are kissing, aka, in love, thats the poetical undestandment.

  • Comment removed

  • A Night at the Opera is my favourite Blind Guardian album :D

  • am i correct in hearing he kissed a lady and a beggar too?

  • passionate song

  • I love how it kicks up the tempo in the lyrics around 2:30.

    my fav part to sing.

  • 70 000! \m/

  • Great song! if you see the lyrics you´ll see what i mean!!! Best evar!!

  • Only complaint is the 16 seconds before the video that make it impossible to download!

  • @DoomsdayLee13 Maybe buy the cd then?!?!?!

    i'm sorry but blind guardian deserve better than people downloading there music!!

  • @gazbg123 Believe me, I'd love to, if I had any money at all. One of the wost parts about being flat broke.

  • @DoomsdayLee13 And of course there's the problem of not finding the damn CD anywhere...

  • @ParanoidChickenKilla Doesn't italy have a form of amazon, ebay or play.com?

  • @gazbg123 it does have a form of Ebay...but its horribly lacking in merchandise and the prices are skyhigh...i have to wait a month everytime I order something from Amazon.uk...bloody nightmare

  • @ParanoidChickenKilla I'm sorry to hear that mate :/

    you can download the album anywhere on the internet these days butas a huge fan i won't give any links out.

  • @gazbg123 I managed to find Forgotten Tales and Night at The Opera so im content :D

  • @gazbg123 what about itunes? it should have this album and it's legal

  • @ironwolg I don't use itunes so i wouldn't know lol

    I prefer to buy the cd's instead of buying mp3s :)

  • @gazbg123 same here, but when you've got no other choice itunes is always great :D plus they've got all the sweet apps for the ipod touch :D! you should check out morphwiz by Jordan Rudess if you haven't already. it's awesome to watch and hear

  • @ironwolg I don't have anything apple related apart from an actual apple :P

    but i'm sure you know about jailbreaking??

    Free apps etc etc. ;)

  • @gazbg123 i know about it but i don't know how to do it and i really don't want to either, i don't believe in downloading stuff for free.

  • @ParanoidChickenKilla If you're still looking for it, I got the album here. Don't use cd's anymore, so it's basically just lying around. It's yours if you want it.

  • @JeBatser if ParanoidChickenKilla doesn't want it can i have it? when bought from Ebay it is a bloody nightmare to get it delivered to Estonia plus the cost. local record stores don't have their albums and there is no chance they will ever come to preform.

  • @gazbg123 isn't listening to a whole album on youtube the same thing?

  • @gazbg123 im only missing tokyo tales :) in a quest for the singles now :P

  • @gazbg123 Musicians don't make their money through CD sales, bro. Concerts and merchandise.....

    As a musician, I say: Share away!!! Download away!!! REAL musicians just want to be HEARD, not paid..... just sayin....

  • @DoomsdayLee13 yeah... buy the fuckin cd.. its the best way to invest.

  • @bobnoj666 With what money?

    Besides, it's not like I'm selling the songs.

  • @DoomsdayLee13 Or cut the silence in WaveLab or something

  • Wonderful

  • reminiscent of queen.. gotta love an album inspired by them

  • blind guardian spelle backwards - awesomely epic

  • Super and Epic!

  • This song is epic! Love it

  • september osna ich bin da

  • @kodiak423

    Die ganze Band kommt aus Deutschland :))

  • Ganze Band ist aus Deutschland =)

  • this song is incredible.

  • @kodiak423 yes he is German, if that's what you're asking?

  • Proudly it stands, until the world ends - the victorious banner of love!

  • deutschland. das land der dichter und denker. hansi beweist es! blind guardian lebe ewiglich!

  • 2:27 from this second the song is marvelous!!!

  • This is Blind Guardian brand style :) They will prepare you for 2 minutes of the song and then rush in! Compare with Mordred's song, the Eldar, etc. ;)

  • lol like Disney villain songs,epic win

  • @SynDX you started listening to it from 2:27? xD

  • @SynDX 0:01 from this second the song is outstanding!!!

  • Coooome and take my haaaaaaaaaaaand ! Great !

  • Bei Nithalfs Hammer...was für ein Lied !

    einfach genial,...vom Klang..vom Text..alles in allem ein wahres Meisterwerk :)

    eines...unter vielen !

  • Musical Genius. Absolutely Beautiful song :)

  • 2:27!!!!

  • Does anyone think this song sounds like Pendragon, particularly the start?

  • up to 2:40 it's nice but then sound is sometimes distorted due to clipping... in HQ version its better but still sometimes its really hearable. And I checked it on a pretty good headphones... so watch it only in HQ ^^

    Still it's one of my favourite BG songs.

    And the ending is one of the best parts of the song i think it fits the tale that is told with it (btw i think it might be Tristan and Iseult)

  • There's a moment in life when all the years will pass by

    And the eyes filled with tears we once shed

    We recognize failures, the desperate cries

    Of the ones who believed in our lies

  • perfect quality!! u'r the awesome man!

  • This song is simply PERFECT! Is the only love song from the Bards but WHAT A GREAT SONG, BY MY GOD!!!! That is the way to love!

  • Hell yeah, I love the lyrics in this.

  • Comment removed

  • this was a fantastic album

    wouldn't espect less from the BG ;)

  • i cant find this on itunes were else can i get it

  • Another excellent song by Blind Gardian... however I somewhat hate how it SHOULD end with the last "Come and take my hand" and how the song begins once again after that.

    ->wildcat312

    Try Limewire... this thing's old, but you can get some nice mp3s on it... or else, google is your friend.

  • I agree entirely... the ending seems off. Otherwise, great song. I especially love the second half.

  • I think the ending is just perfect... the way it explodes back in your face. It's a nice surprise because it goes against your expectations. Much like the the game of love: you don't always get what you expect. ;)

  • nah then it would feel too short for a guardian song.

  • You're right... but still, I feel like it's somewhat too much... And I must remind you that "The bard's tale" was helluva short.

  • Actually the bards song (as I think you are meaning by The bard's tale) Is divided into 2 songs, its first "In the forest : The bards song) - The acoustic one. Then it comes the 2nd part (not so famous but still helluva good!!!) called In the forest : The hobbit.. So there ya go, if you combine these 2 it gets around 7 mins I guess.. Not too short heh?

  • no its the bards song: in the forest and the bards song: the hobbit

  • Yeah xD, I forgot dat :P Wuz writing this late in the evening ;)! But thx for the correction, wouldn't have noticed it by myself! Cheers :)

  • Or just buy the CD....

  • OR video convert it its safer to use

    just saying

  • damn fuking nice song i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love this song. For everyone asking for clarification: the song is about Tristan and Isolde.

    I love it, because everything that is in that (medieval) love story, comes back in the song:)

  • Damn i wish i could send this song as message to gf...

  • y don't you then ? :)

  • the song of my last relation ...... sadness coming back everytime i hear this song.

    hail all of you mu bards friends

  • wundervolles lied

    "proudly it stands until the world ends, the victorious banner of love" =)

  • Das ganze Album hat mir nich so recht gefallen. Eindeutig zu weit aum Fenster gelehnt und ZU experimentell.

    Denke, BG haben das wohl auch selber gesehen und schnell reagiert. Das nächste Album war wieder besser^^ Weiterentwicklung schön und gut aber das wäre zweifellos in die Falsche Richtung gelaufen. Aber "Twist in the myth" Album

    hats ja dann wieder mehr als rausgerissen. Zum Glück

  • Amazing song. Best Album in my opinion.

  • COME AND TAKE MY HAND!!!

  • best band ever!

  • ITS THE BHAAARRRDS!!1

  • REALLY LOVE IT

  • Best ballad ever!!!!! So heartfelt. Brings a tear to my eye the way he sings "carry ooonn caarryy ooonnn" epic

  • Gets me at 'Will you still wait for me, will you still pray for me' =')

  • I think it's "cry for me", though...

  • Well yoo know what part I am talking about at least. xD

  • The Forgotten Tales might be their best album. It's sort of a compilation though, so Imaginations takes the win with Somewhere Far Beyound and Nightfall in Middle-Earth being the runner-ups. A Twist is on the same line with Follow the Blind, and they are, in my opinion, two worst albums by BG, although they are pretty great works too. :P I mainly love those older speed metal works more than Twist. It's a very mature album. I think it might even be too mature, making the Guardian sound disappear.
