@TheDayspring777 yeah no it isn't. wheel of time is the only really good song on it.
blind guardian really fell with nightfall in middle earth. all albums before were all killer no filler, all albums later only have a few good tracks each
@LMTR14 IMO, Nightfall In Middle Earth changed BG for the better. But I guess our musical opinions differ. Either way I love all metal and will support similar metal bands FOREVER! \m/>.<
Out there...somewhere in Middle Earth...between Mordor and the Western Seas...There's an old man named Tolkien headbanging while he slays trolls and dragons...
This has got to be the best live show opening songs of all time. Possibly the best album opening track of all time too. And the best power metal album of all time. From the best power metal band of all time.
I only know blind guardian since 3months.. been into metal for like 10years now, why didny anybody force me to listen to this ? this is SO GOOD, after 1 listen to the whole nightfall album (which I immediatly played again) that band became my favorite band of all time, and now I see what they do live is magic and that I missed the show here in quebec city which was about 1week before I discovered them, please ppl dont let anybody miss that band , humanity needs this :P
@weltenpilgerer ich schreib jetzt mal deutsch weil ich glaub das du auch deutscher bist:
ja sie sind gerade auf welttournee, allerdings waren sie schon in deutschland und in fast allen anderen europäischen ländern. zur zeit sind sie in nord amerika und ich glaube danach gehen sie nach südamerika. ich war beim konzert in düsseldorf dieses jahr dabei da wurden die von dir genannten songs alle gespielt neben den ganzen anderen.
@Costa3a also ja ich bin deutscher :) cool, hab ich nicht gewusst, freut mich aber^^ dann hoff ich mal, dass sie bald wieder konzerte in deutschland machen
@weltenpilgerer Yeah, they do. I was just at a live show last night, and they did play Mirror Mirror, the Bard's Song, Nightfall, etc. And by the gods it was EPIC.
Serious all those abbrevations don't make any sense. DT with BF on BJ who sucks a big C... I read 5 pages of comments and couldn't make any sense of them XD
Agree with Atremious.. @vguyver, BG is -huge.- Even here in the States where they're significantly less well known, they're still quite popular. I mean, they did the theme for the game Sacred 2, and the game gave them a full in-game "concert" cinematic. That's pretty classy.
But you have to take into account that Sacred 2 is a German game. It has an English version as well. Nonetheless the in-game concert absolutely rocked.
I hate the fact I was born so late. All of my favorite bands started in the 80's and now probably only have a few more albums to go before retiring. I wish I could go back to the 90's and see BG in their golden days.
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 I have the same problem, but not because of when I was born. I just don't really find out about bands until after they've already peaked. But it's OK, because the songs are all recorded and will live forever thanks to digital technology. Blind Guardian will NEVER DIE!
it is very possible u enjoy BG for many years yet. Even "the who" and "deep purple" still on tour (or making some shows). Blind Guardian can live easyly more 10 years!
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 THESE are their golden days, dude! in the 80's and early 90's BG was just a great speed metal band....NOW THEY ARE FUCKIN' GODS!!!
@OneLeggedPuppies2010 After 3 live concerts, i promise you hansi rocks the shit out of you till he dies. ;) Follow the will of the 4 :) and go to some concerts.
Oh, in terms of metal singers, he's not a power metal frontman, but Mats Leven has an amazing vocal style too; <3 his work with Yngwie, especially the live shows. He rocks the song Rising Force like I've never seen.
Northfulton, Hetfield? Really? I love me some old Metallica, but Hetfield is like amateur hour in terms of pure vocal talent. Try some Eric Adams, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, and company.. Four octave wonders get there. Hansi doesn't have quite as much range as some, but his singing style is quite epic, and suited to the music, and he's certainly as talented a singer as anyone I've heard.
@Labestia14 man i nkow Barlow and his voice is amazing but Hansi has a great voice as well but in my opinion gamma ray sucks and iced earth deserve a place among them they reallly deserve a place.
Well James Ronnie Dio , Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson are great Vocalists as well.But when we are talking about Power Metal Hansi is the best of the Best.I heard that there was somthing like a contests for the best Power metal band.The people vote Blind Guardian to be the 1st ,2nd was Helloween and 3rd Gamma Ray.I don't if this is rumour or truth.
Hansi is a fine singer . Probably some people think he can´t sing high because of he doesn´t have a clean voice , like André Matos perhaps. Anyway, Hansi's voice is very powerful indeed.
Before someone takes of naoaceitawhatever's comment - Hansi can for sure sing the high notes live. Sure he sometimes drops down an octave or sings counter melody, but his style of singing is much more abrasive and demanding than some of the more "clean" power vocalists' styles. Surely you cant expect him to keep it up night after night for months? And it gives their live shows a raw edge, suits the epic war-torn content of their music perfectly imho anyway.
Now that I think about it, I'd have to agree with you. I just think that they have dynamic range. Are Helloween still together? I haven't heard much from them in a long time.
@darkpoet25 for sure helloween is still together. in which cave have you been since 16 years ago? hehe I mean, do you even know what's the current singer? I went to a Helloween concert in 2008(they released an album in 2007), and released a 25th anniversary album this year. In the end of the year they'll also release a new studio record.
@ub3r2008 I doesn't change that his tonal characteristics suck. Even I can hit the high C when you step on my feet and still, I can't consider myself a vocalist. LaBrie should just kill himself (or simply leave), DT would flourish tenfold without him.
@VorTexXHUN Could you develop on why he sucks? I'm interested in your point of view. And in my opinion, DT has been getting worse and worse. Half of Systematic Chaos was garbage, and let's not even mention BC&SL. I can't believe a once-brilliant band like DT wrote that terrible record. I'm not really sure as to how the band is going to change with Mike gone, but I sure as hell hope they start writing better stuff, in the vein of Scenes from a Memory or Images and Words.
@lolpawnage He sucks balls cause he cannot sing in key live, and his voice has a thin, weak tone. The shame is that when they were auditioning for a new singer (after the first one left dunno his name, some kind of dominicci of what), they had the chance to listen to a buttload of people, and they chose that douche. As professional musicians, they should have had better ears. With a vocals like their friends have in Symphony X, they'd be rock solid.
@VorTexXHUN Labrie's voice before the whole food poisoning/vocal cord ripping incident was pretty damn great. The current Labrie, I have mixed feelings. Sometimes he sounds great, sometimes he sounds weak, indeed. I can see why having a better vocalist would make them better as a whole, but then again, James doesn't write a lot of the music and to be quite honest, I have more of a problem with the crap they've been composing lately than with the quality of the singing.
@lolpawnage Before the food poisoning he was OK. Hell, I even listened to "Awake" thousand times and I would say that his voice was an organic part of those songs, but he was a cathastrophic live singer that time too :)
On the topic of the new DT: I think Octavarium was a nice album (easy chill out music for wannabe prog fans, as I would descibe it), SC had two songs I could listen to (Forsaken, Dark Eternal Night), but I couldn't care less about their latest material nowdays.
@VorTexXHUN Eh, I've only seen (actually been to) one live DT concert, in 2005 and while the show itself was kickass, it's true that Labrie was mediocre. I... sort of liked Octavarium, mostly just Root of all Evil and Octavarium. I prefer the heavy metal DT to the proggy DT (even though I liked the old proggy DT), but even then I found most of SC to be a huge wreck (I only like ItPoE... I sort of like Forsaken and Ministry, but eh) and as I said, Black Clouds was a big piece of crap.
Yeah, I'll include those, but I'll also include ZP Theart, the singer from Rhapsody of Fire, and Tarja Turunen on the list of best power-metal singers. Not calling them better or worse.
have you ever checked out Jens Carlsson of Persuader and Savage Circus? thats a hell of a vocalist, especially in persuader. one of the best, too in my opinion, but very underrated
@feinster500gzucker the studio's are confined. Since its an enclosed space, there is a weird change in the sound that is subtle. Also live performences also benifit from the crowds positive support, dunno why but it gives good vibes.
@assbean182 That may be because most metal bands actually take it seriously and play music for music, unlike all these pop idols who only see music as a business.
@TheFourthDefender I don't think they all started off like that. Look at how rap and ipup has suffered in the last decade. It's really the suits who've managed to create that mindset. Between the Managers, media, and the oddball stars, it's hard to keep one's head straight. I'm kinda clag Bling Guardian isn't as huge as it should be, otherwise it may of lost that magical touch it has.
@assbean182 Not all metal bands but i think you are right about the majority. Try elvenking for example.Studio versions are good but live versions is not the same. I dont want to disagree with you.Im just making it more...general. To sum up. I agree with you
Dude you don't have a clue. DF brought metal back. Someone needs to take over when Metallica and Iron Maided are in nursing homes. And ZP is a much better singer than Bieber so please don't insult our intelligence. (owned)
@VaiTrooper Why EXACTLY do we need another sell-out metal band like Metallica to enter the scene? Iron Maiden is great, I'll give them that. But seriously. DragonForce has no diversity, they suck live most of the time, and they're sound is literally every stereotype they could found for power metal thrown into every single song they wrote.
You obviously haven't heard their new album Twilight Dementia, so I forgive you for that, but DragonForce have a very unique sound to them. If you listen to a wide variety of music like I do, you will find that DF's sound is incredibly original. They combine metal with techno and even rock balads. Do try to have an open mind musicaly pleeeease, the last thing the world needs is another person who thinks that a song is good because it's "catchy"
@VaiTrooper I HATE music for the sake of "catchy." And I do listen to a wide variety of music. Most of it, admittedly, in the broad category of metal, but still...Symphony X, BG, Finntroll, Hiedevolk, Equilibrium, Bloodbath, Skeletonwitch, Iron Maiden, Disturbed, SOAD, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a lot of others...So no. I think I've broadened my base a bit. I just find DF to not do anything NEW.
@assbean182 Live videos like this are edited. I'm not saying they don't sound good live, but I doubt the crowd heard the same version we're hearing here.
Is there a DVD-version of this? Because I only have Imaginations through the lookingglas but It doesnt look like the same DVD, Or is it? :P

Half of Systematic Chaos was garbage, and let's not even mention BC&SL. I can't believe a once-brilliant band like DT wrote that terrible record. I'm not really sure as to how the band is going to change with Mike gone, but I sure as hell hope they start writing better stuff, in the vein of Scenes from a Memory or Images and Words.

@lolpawnage He sucks balls cause he cannot sing in key live, and his voice has a thin, weak tone. The shame is that when they were auditioning for a new singer (after the first one left dunno his name, some kind of dominicci of what), they had the chance to listen to a buttload of people, and they chose that douche. As professional musicians, they should have had better ears. With a vocals like their friends have in Symphony X, they'd be rock solid.

@VorTexXHUN Labrie's voice before the whole food poisoning/vocal cord ripping incident was pretty damn great. The current Labrie, I have mixed feelings. Sometimes he sounds great, sometimes he sounds weak, indeed. I can see why having a better vocalist would make them better as a whole, but then again, James doesn't write a lot of the music and to be quite honest, I have more of a problem with the crap they've been composing lately than with the quality of the singing.

@lolpawnage Before the food poisoning he was OK. Hell, I even listened to "Awake" thousand times and I would say that his voice was an organic part of those songs, but he was a cathastrophic live singer that time too :)
On the topic of the new DT: I think Octavarium was a nice album (easy chill out music for wannabe prog fans, as I would descibe it), SC had two songs I could listen to (Forsaken, Dark Eternal Night), but I couldn't care less about their latest material nowdays.
VorTexXHUN 1 year ago
@VorTexXHUN Eh, I've only seen (actually been to) one live DT concert, in 2005 and while the show itself was kickass, it's true that Labrie was mediocre. I... sort of liked Octavarium, mostly just Root of all Evil and Octavarium. I prefer the heavy metal DT to the proggy DT (even though I liked the old proggy DT), but even then I found most of SC to be a huge wreck (I only like ItPoE... I sort of like Forsaken and Ministry, but eh) and as I said, Black Clouds was a big piece of crap.

Yeah, I'll include those, but I'll also include ZP Theart, the singer from Rhapsody of Fire, and Tarja Turunen on the list of best power-metal singers. Not calling them better or worse.

have you ever checked out Jens Carlsson of Persuader and Savage Circus? thats a hell of a vocalist, especially in persuader. one of the best, too in my opinion, but very underrated

@feinster500gzucker the studio's are confined. Since its an enclosed space, there is a weird change in the sound that is subtle. Also live performences also benifit from the crowds positive support, dunno why but it gives good vibes.

@assbean182 That may be because most metal bands actually take it seriously and play music for music, unlike all these pop idols who only see music as a business.

@TheFourthDefender I don't think they all started off like that. Look at how rap and ipup has suffered in the last decade. It's really the suits who've managed to create that mindset. Between the Managers, media, and the oddball stars, it's hard to keep one's head straight. I'm kinda clag Bling Guardian isn't as huge as it should be, otherwise it may of lost that magical touch it has.
vguyver2 1 year ago
@assbean182 its because metal bands are the only ones who have talent. the others rely on studio magic to make themselves sound good.

Dude you don't have a clue. DF brought metal back. Someone needs to take over when Metallica and Iron Maided are in nursing homes. And ZP is a much better singer than Bieber so please don't insult our intelligence. (owned)

@VaiTrooper Why EXACTLY do we need another sell-out metal band like Metallica to enter the scene? Iron Maiden is great, I'll give them that. But seriously. DragonForce has no diversity, they suck live most of the time, and they're sound is literally every stereotype they could found for power metal thrown into every single song they wrote.
PieGangstah 1 year ago
@PieGangstah
You obviously haven't heard their new album Twilight Dementia, so I forgive you for that, but DragonForce have a very unique sound to them. If you listen to a wide variety of music like I do, you will find that DF's sound is incredibly original. They combine metal with techno and even rock balads. Do try to have an open mind musicaly pleeeease, the last thing the world needs is another person who thinks that a song is good because it's "catchy"
VaiTrooper 1 year ago
@VaiTrooper I HATE music for the sake of "catchy." And I do listen to a wide variety of music. Most of it, admittedly, in the broad category of metal, but still...Symphony X, BG, Finntroll, Hiedevolk, Equilibrium, Bloodbath, Skeletonwitch, Iron Maiden, Disturbed, SOAD, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and a lot of others...So no. I think I've broadened my base a bit. I just find DF to not do anything NEW.
