@ThomasArmageddon If I'm not mistaken, he started singing before the time he was supposed to, so the track he was listening didn't play his vocals and he noticed he started too early. That's what I think, at least.
I attempted to explain to a friend how powerful Hansi's voice is. I settled with "It's like Thor smashed his hammer down on Mount Everest so hard that the world cracked into two pieces and all the lava in the earth just split up through every tiny crack on the ground there is-but less violent and more sexy."
So why is it in the context of metal, when somebody mentions "operatic vocals" they always say "Bruce Dickinson" and rarely ever mention Hansi? Hansi is at least 1000x closer to a truly operatic vocal than Bruce is (not to say Dickinson is a bad vocalist or anything but, there's not really anything operatic about Dickinson's vocals).
Ok I'll just come out and say it... why do these guys record in english? Even though I couln't understand it (yet) hearing Hansi sing in german would be really fucking cool and would tie in nicely with the sort of germanic/scandanavian vibe their songs give off.
I like his raw voice. There are enough singers with a clear vibrato, but Hansi's voice is godlike and there is only one person who can sing his songs perfectls. Guess who. ;)
He can scream as a raging god, but that's not what the crowd or the band need from him to do.
Touring is the hardest thing that great musicians have to face on their careers... If he doesn't preserve his voice by singing clean, his voice will crack soon.
There can be also the possibility that Hansi was ill, which also happens and is a hard problem to solve while touring...
Greets ^^
PS. In Barcelona he sang godly, he was in perfect shape for sure.
Who cares what style hair Hansi has? Who is he? Justin Bieber? Hansi is Hansi no matter what and has the best voice I've ever heard, bar none. JUDGE THE MAN NOT BY HIS MANE, BUT BY HIS METAL.
@Leonderlie Genau kann man es nicht herausfinden, aber ich glaube der Produzent hat sich da irgendeinen Spass erlaubt, hat ne falsche Tonspur abgespielt oder sowas.
Interesting...I wonder if the studio temperature is kept cool for the vocal sessions or Hansi likes keeping his neck warm when singing by having a scarf around his neck? Either seems plausible.
Oh My God! Wow...poor fellas I didn't recognize them :( time has caught up with them...wow...lol but they still are the greatest power metal band out there
Dudes I've been studying Blind Guardian for 6 Years....I play lead guitar...something like Andre but with a Washburn....I can tell you right now....this album will be far Greater than A Twist in the Myth...and from Night at the Opera...it will be more like Somewhere Far and Imaginations but with more Nightfall taste of music....If you understand I just told you this may be The best album even more than Nightfall,sadly we won't listen to some Thomen drumm style which suited best such songs.......
Leider konnte ich nicht so viel verstehen, was sie sagten, vor allem, als Hansi lachte, habe ich nichts verstanden. Aber ich freue mich auf das Album. Blind guardian ist eine großartige Band und wie man beispielsweise an diesem Video sehen kann, eine sehr nette.
oh my gosh! the guy on the left when they are sing together. that is the guy from van canto that does the guitar solo voice! van canto best group ever! along with blind guardian.
@maidenfinland From 3:00 and on the guitar starts a melody that sounds a lot like the slow melody before the chorus in Pure Evil. If you search for "Iced Earth Pure Evil" and select the first result (Alive in Athens), it begins at 2:30.
Nevermind those comments ... they're not worth responsing ... Comments like 'Sucks!', 'LOL!' or '*some band* is way better than this', should just be ignored ...
Hansi hat die gleichen Kopfhörer wie ich!

He can scream as a raging god, but that's not what the crowd or the band need from him to do.

There can be also the possibility that Hansi was ill, which also happens and is a hard problem to solve while touring...
