[Timzdametal]

Blind Guardian rule!

[pantomime1000]

Five stars. High five This great video is added to my playlist, Silver 25 Macrotalents, Megastars Please check it out in my channel. Thanks.

[jpatrick34]

Is It Markus in the Drumms????

[Eagle93A7X]

@jpatrick34 no it's Frederik Ehmke

[BijanHennessey]

BLIND GUARDIAN is a huge influence to my band MY MISSING HALF. You can check out our songs by searching our name. Im trying to promote my band, im sorry if this post bothers you

[Mefirot]

Incredible, his voice has no changes D:

[Downsider24]

@Mefirot His voice has not changed at all! Even if you listen to the older albums. Only slight changes. The man is a beast.

[Tamsin53]

his lollipop might be very nice.

[errman2]

Metal- any song written or preformed by Blind Guardian

Webster confirms it and so it is!

[panagiotisnrc]

only one think i can say(metal louder than life)

[Musicvideofan09]

awesome ass song

[khaosorde]

wtf

[XJohnTheNightrager]

They seem like they are bored in this video

[BlocosSaoLegais]

@stargazer4001 yeah,he looks like a guy that I know

[CarlosH1982]

Fuck, I got now my ticket for their upcoming (and first) concert in Colombia, on September 16th... fuck, the bards are comming!!!.

[Kmil0000]

@CarlosH1982 si, del putas

[jensaver82]

The world's whitest Aztec/Mayan falls jumps into a hole where a white middle-aged German touches him in secret places...No wonder he looks terrified.

Awesome song though. Just too bad most metal bands go the "Derp derp" way when making videos.

[xcarl]

AH YES. A return to their speed/power metal roots! THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[turkghost72]

hooyah for song of ice and fire referances



[ShittakeBukakke]

This album is a HUGE step up from their last.

[Eagle93A7X]

Solo at Chorus are so brilliant, it makes me jizz my pants everytime i listen to it!!! \m/

[Eagle93A7X]

at some points the guitarrist looks like alex skolnick to me 

[franklouuu]

Is that the starbucks logo? aha

Great song. Blind Guardian and Rhapsody are my favourite power metal bands.

[Eagle93A7X]

@franklouuu i guess it's re, god of the sun

[Matheusnightwish]

Hansi...The best.

[TheMrSupercluster]

Is weird seeing Hansi without his long hair. But his voice is still unique and epic.

[Vorinas]

WHERE ARE YOURS HAIRs?!!?!!?

[Peuranpuolikas]

@stargazer4001 Hansi doesn´t need to act metal, his voice is more metal than you can ever handle!

[xcarl]

@Peuranpuolikas Well said! His voice rips a tear in the cosmos regardless of what he looks like. Listening to Blind Guardian with high quality headphones is really a treat. And c'mon, guys. It's POWER METAL. So pretty much the least "metal" of metal genres. Don't get me wrong, power metal's my favorite genre of ALL music. But it's not exactly "badass". The lyrical content is consistently dragons, fantasy, etc. I LOVE IT!

[CarlosH1982]

@Peuranpuolikas +1

[SuperTigerNo1]

I think this song is against superstitious beliefs

[MrDeadButDrumming]

TOMB RAIDER !!!!!!

[alicecooper091]

this bald guy is hilarious!!!!hahahaha!!!!

[MalformedOrgan]

Nice staff! Hahahahaahahaaaaa!!

[goYourWaynotmy]

hol die langen haare wieder raus hansi :(

[BlackFolkAndPiano]

really powerful, thought guitar lines are totally different from the old Guardian stuff...

[ismajones]

Hansi got power, Hansi got melody, Hansi got might! and Hansi is the true metal priest!

=p

[metalhead10101]

@ismajones Hansi hasn't got long hair anymore.

[ismajones]

@metalhead10101

Like Samson, he loses his powers? D:

[JaniWarheart]

Personally I've always oved that Hansi doesn't "Act Metal". All the guys who do just come across as idiots more than anything. It is also why I like watching Dark Tranquillity, with Mikael smiling and laughing all the time unlike your stereotypical death metal singer that has to be 'brutal' all the time and just looks like a jackass. My opinion? The guys who don't "Act Metal" are more "metal" than those who do, because they are just being themselves.

[Skullchaser08]

Check out Belphegor, in the video to their song Hell's Ambassador I think the singer really pulls that "Act Metal" off without looking like an idiot.

On everything other I've seen, yeah, you're right. But that guy really does it, he looks brutal.

[EagleWarru]

44 people didn't hear the voice.

[sarahchance72]

one of my favourite from "At The Edge of Time " !!!!

[festum666]

fucking epic

[erighlewerough]

whats with these views??why only 123000?

[Fingolfin5376]

I love BG, but I have to admit that the intro of this song is a clear copy of the intro of their own "vallhala"....

[erighlewerough]

@Fingolfin5376 its not the same ....and its Valhalla!!

[GuitarScapeFreak]

watch drummer's face at 0:35 - 0:37

[Wut88]

LOL IMAGINE BEING A GUY IN UR 50S BALD WITH A BELLY BEER STILL SINGING ABOUT SLAYING DRAGONS AND DANCING WITH BUNNY RABITS.... cuz thats whats this is kinda

[minimanomus]

@Wut88 die in deep pit of bullshizz (bullshit + bulljizz)

[TheButterz25]

@Wut88 Lol,Imagine a dumbass typing in all caps,making fun of a lead-singer to possibly one of the most influential bands during the 80's metal age in germany,and who can't even insult a person properly.Cuz thats kinda what you are.

[Wut88]

@TheButterz25 no but i bet you jack off watching LOTR

[TheButterz25]

@Wut88

Oh yes,you caught me.Becaues your a retard means I jack off to LoTR.

[eberabio]

definitely one of the most boring bands i have ever heard, also boring and blown up video

[chris26479]

oh my god i am crying tears of joy this is so perfect lyrics the solos i love this band

[VALNARXXX]

Hello there fellow metalheads.

Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.

1. Instead of bashin other metal artists, we need to unite. We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together.

2. Watch more and other metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

3. Instead of bashing pop, promote metal with logical reasons, not just "METAL RULES!!"

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it and also spread it around if you like this!

[PIDOFREAK]

wtf

[swansroad]

it's the same intro of valhalla...

[meatballroller]

Enough about his haircut already, what's up with those giant lollipops?

For 4:36 i was thinking "Come on, just one bite"

[MiniCoiler90]

Amazing song! LOVE IT!

[896748rhjbasgjjgankl]

so my accountant has a metal band huh....

[RESIFan2]

what was he thinking when he cut his hair ......

[skatealien28]

el vocal se parece al estaca, para todos los q han visto matutino express XD

[SunnyIllusion]

I thought he was holding the StarBucks logo.

[nickolasGate7]

Hansiiii grow up your hair agaiiiin ;D

[KnightNovamon]

Aww I wish they made the video more GoT themed, would have been so much more awesome. :(

[Tigrousauteur]

Hansi with short hair ? Speak of a change !! o_O

[Korgothh2o]

Video is kind of lame, but the music totally compensates. Stay metal, fuckers \m/

[davwader]

My fav song ♥♥♥

[capiirra]

holy god, blind guardian has reached the perfection between power, melody and orchestral. In one word amazing.

[halbengel333]

♥♥♥

[Ometopada]

The singer should have worked on his image for this video cause he looks like a stressed out banker here.

[mdsatan]

I love this kind of music, only a shame they base it off Fantasy books. Just seems a bit sad/fake when there is so much real stuff to base your work on.

[ToXin88]

maybe less effects and better ones...

but definitely one of the best songs from the new album!

[henner06]

i believe they're aztec rather than egyptian

[ordoadchao]

@henner06 they are aztecs but i think there some mistakes in the way they present them...

[jonasfeld]

40 people din't jump in that hole

[Hiero2021]

haha, that egyptian guy is afraid of hansi^^

[stratofendercaster]

@Hiero2021 what egyptian guy??

[Hiero2021]

@stratofendercaster the one with the tatoos at 4:00

at least i guess he is egyptian

[panzerkorp95]

Hansi's Haare jetzt total kurz :'( R.I.P Hansi's Haare! Epic Song!<3'

[GuitarScapeFreak]

watch the drummer's face @ 0:35-0:36

[IceCadaverX]

what the FUCK did Hansi do to his hair?! O_o

[stargazer4001]

I love Hansi's voice. But he doesn't act metal enough! lol

He looks a bit too "normal" in this video.

Kind of like a librarian singing metal.

[RickySSJ4]

@stargazer4001 Non stereotypical metalhead is non stereotypical lol. Hansi has never "looked metal" enough.

I do understand where you're coming from.

[WorthlessTaco]

@stargazer4001 thats why he is so great, most of the normal looking people are the biggest metal heads

[asdasd635]

@stargazer4001 Hansi looks metal enough (even with short hair) so he dosen't need to act :)

[ksmith2k04]

@stargazer4001 i kind of see a resemblance to Family Guy's Seth Macfarlane

[CrackNinja]

@stargazer4001 holding a giant lolliepop

[Miniwanz]

@stargazer4001 Oh yeah, so if you wanna be metal you need to haz long hair and headbang all day long.

Oh you sad fuck, you don't know shit about metal.

[umid95]

@stargazer400 DUDE,defiitely = )

[mashugac]

@stargazer4001 Hansi IS the power metal, he doesnt need to look like it.

[WingedHowl]

@stargazer4001 The normal face of a trust metallian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FlushingTurd]

not a fan of power metal,but this is good stuff!

[masdown]

human cleric lvl 20... nerd music

[elBoromilos]

When I heard this song I decided to buy Their CD.

[cartman69jewgold]

the singer makes this whole video okward...but the song is pretty dope!

[shredh3d]

why in Satan's glorious name would hansi cut his hair?

[demonofthefall93]

@shredh3d Agreed.. Looks strange now. Amazing band though. only singer with a band full of long haird dudes that can pull it off is bruce dickenson.

[DioandMaiden]

@demonofthefall93 Thats because naturally Bruce has to have short hair to be able to pilot planes. Since he actually does. Hansi is beast with or without long hair on of the all time best singers in my book. Very unique and melodic voice.

[zdkezios]

sounds awesome, but who's this normal looking dude singing? did he sneak onto the set?

[mafkees6000]

this album is EPIC!!!! hansi is a realy great singer i love this band i started listening it 2 years ago and still fan of them <3 :D

[lotopauanka]

hahaha i didnt know the vocalist looks so funny :D! Full respect though ;)

[Fingolfin5376]

I just love Hansi's voice. He's great. Always gives me shivers

[Tamplier93]

35 Justin Bieber fucking fans!!!!! Go to HELL!!!!!

[Dinosaurzx]

Hansi looks like my dad here.

... :/

[1410r]

Masterpiece!

[jonasfeld]

thumbs up if you think  the vocalist look tom hanks from certains angles

[luchoq77]

BG is back!!

[Jungwacht333]

AWESOME SONG!!!

But why, why the hell has he cut his hair!!!

WHY GOD! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYY!!!!

[sael787]

thats a badass staff

[sael787]

that staff is badass.. lol except the goat symbol...

[EvilEelofSteel]

long hair was better

[FeuerFremder]

Hansi looks like some sort of poker player or oil magnate now -_____-

[EpicPowerMetalhead]

@FeuerFremder

stimmt, wie so n bmw fahrer:P

[TheArchitectOfDreams]

EPIC Metal! I love it! Makes me want to cross over mountains and through valley's slaying the dragon on my path.

[RichieMalix]

ok, so, I like their music, however, I think they should do more research: 00.42, this is a Aztec Calendar, a tottally different culture, the video turns around the Mayan Culture. 1:10 again, the Aztec calendar inside the Sun pyramid, the main building in Chichen Itza, one of most importants cities for the Mayas. NO WAY. what this song has to do with the mayan culture anyways? can somebody explain? again, Im not against the music, I like it, is just about the content of the video. peace.

[r3z3nd3]

@RichieMalix The song is about the fate of Bran Stark, a character in the "Song Of Ice And Fire Series" which is a fantasy series which has nothing to do with American civilizations. Yeah, nothing in the video has anything to do it (maybe the snow). Thanks for the historical notes, btw.

[blah4210]

@r3z3nd3 Been wondering about that. Maybe there's a hidden message there lol

[ArchArturo]

@r3z3nd3, maybe because HBO's doing A Game of Thrones?.

[RickySSJ4]

@r3z3nd3 That is what I thought the first time I heard it too. Song of Fire & Ice is so great.

[darkshiner360]

@r3z3nd3 i thought it had something to do with sacred, my friend told me. and the lyrics sound satanic.

[aruizislas]

@RichieMalix I thought exactly the same than you... until I read the explanation given by someone out there. I have to admit that it doesn't explain why did these guys got Mesoamerican imaginery to the vid. Whatever. Uh, by the way, the pyramid ain't no "Sun pyramid", which is in Teotihuacan; instead, it's called the Kukulkan Castle.

[Luncifus]

This is a cool video!

[TheJasmineCarl]

One Badass Band Indeed, Dudes!! They RULE!!

[AHellmeister1]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[MrWormlock]

hansi were has ur hair gone?

[Jalgrif]

@MrWormlock I think Hansi looks better this way. I saw Blind Guardian in concert over a year ago and he's getting a bit old for long hair to look right. Going again in Seattle on Monday, looking forward to the show!

[Umlatta]

@Jalgrif Saw them in Chicago this week. Hansi looked great.- relaxed and more solidly present then he has sometimes looked in the past. Really in his body. I think the new look suits him. And of course he sounded awesome. The whole band did. Great show.

[capitanwibbles]

this is just my opinion. I think Blind Gaurdian's songs are good, but i think they should be more like this song

[acidbath32]

blind guardian is still going strong! and this video is too bad ass

[ellobodeBastard]

Blind Guardian is soooooo epic!!!!!!

i love them and all of their albums because their AWESOME

[cronodob]

GUARDIAN 4 LIFE

[Lordo87]

es ist der komplette song zum Musikvideo wennsch mich net irr.. aber irren ist ja menschlich habe ich mal gehört

[guitardude671]

liked it till he sang

[EricWolfborn]

Awesome song, but holy fuck was seeing him without hair a shocker. I

[ResistanceofLove]

Epic!

[Chickenlovercamp]

where did the hair go :(?

[MrTroglodyt]

bin ich blöd oder ist der song hier gut ne minute kürzer als auf meinem album??!!!

[Kazzazz3k]

@MrTroglodyt wieso sollten sie auch die kompletten songs auf youtube hochladen , müsste ja keiner mehr das album kaufen =)

[powertool360]

Ihr alten Gardinen habt et wieder geschafft.

[tomnevati]

Awkward acting.............. Cool song, though.

[Bonzophuebes10]

Why does this remind me of Judas Priest......

[Hasohnir]

Impressive piece of art :P

Nice 3d graphics :P

[ChaosFanatic40k]

Lol it looks like hansi holds a lollipop in his hands :D

[D34DLY5NIP3R]

i think i have watched this ATLEAST 70,876 times

[orstar100]

Definitely one of the best metal bands! Never getting old!

[ironmath2001]

@orstar100 yeah right

[Blackwaltz87]

hes done with D&W ? .. i mean the vocal

[BlueHuntress]

thumbs up for the song

thumbs down for his hair :( 

[TheBrightEye]

BG rocks and I love them, but you'll have to agree that this video is crap :P it's like some cartoon for 4-year-olds... but the song is awesome

[forgerofsouls]

@TheBrightEye I'll disagree, the video is awesome.

[BloodJunkieFireFly]

Whuh wuh what happened to his hair? Awesome music still but... why cut?

[kristoffccfc]

dragonforce anybody?

[BlackCoalGuitar]

@kristoffccfc SHUT YOU DIRTY WHORE MOUTH!

[BloatedBLARG]

@kristoffccfc YUS

[use1222]

where I can download that song

[terkelruler]

this is something new for blind guardian, usually they are more ''softer'' metal, but i loved this song too!

[MrsOuk]

This is why I love this epic band, Blind Guardian Rock forever!

[AvenueJew]

Holy shit this is epic wins.

[sayanator]

Gay vocals

[Yildun28]

@sayanator Seriously... the vocals are what makes Blind Guardian so memorable

[jhnavyblue]

@sayanator gay comment



[Zakorto]

@sayanator yep

[JacobKaiju]

@sayanator whatever, asshole.

[rattlhed1]

Who gives a shit if he cut his hair! It's about the music not the image. Christ...go watch Disney TV and listen to Lady GaGa if you care more about how your bands look than the music they play. The new Blind Guardian album is amazing and they're coming to Seattle in December. I can't wait, I've never seen 'em live. METAL!

[rattlhed1]

[XXRiotgirl12]

Te adoree<33

[jp0005jp]

wtf most posts are about Hansi's hair, darn, even James Hetfield didn't had this back in the day.....

[dredtulc]

Wait...are they serious? If this was a joke it was pretty good. if it was serious then it's about 30 years too late.
