@BamaDillon Old school rap, violent rap, new school rap. They should not touch other masterpieces. AotP sounds like a cool group, but they're shitty. My opinion of course.
@BamaDillon No, I understand full well that there is many kinds of rap. I have only found one rap song that I liked. I listened the AotP to see how they did, and to me they were bad. I do not care if all I think of is new rap, I have heard that rap and I think it's garbage.
I initially typed quite a wall of text to describe how much I love this song but I just deleted it since it is quite pointless : This song is fucking awesome.
@peaceoverall Lol. I actually WAS going to say "were you coked up or something?"...or maybe you were just really stoned on pot, and you were chillin so hard, everything seems fast lol.
Sometimes I'm imagining that this song is about Maeglin from Silmarillion. It fits for him almost perfectly. By the way is Battle field about Arthur and Mordred too?
@Henkimies "Battlefield" is based on Song of Hildebrandt, an old German tale of a father and son who find themselves in a duel to the death (wiki helps :)). sounds same to Arthur & Mordred
Hell, yeah! It is interesting that they did a similar thing with Morgoth and Sauron on Nightfall in Middleearth (to those who don't know: The two voices in the intro are in fact those two). Blind Guardian really know how to give an interesting interpretation to the material, and not just banally regurgitate what has been done before.
I love how they finally gave mordred's side of the king Arthur legends ,how he was always raised to hate Arthur and was never given a chance to be anything else but a weapon to destroy his father and his kingdom. This gives a non-demonic point of view of the man who has always been demonized for hundreds of years. After hearing this you can't help but sympathize with him, with the position he was born into.
@Beastealityforthewin Completely agree. No disrespect to the original sources, of course, but I love when classical villains, the dark shades in the story's black-and-white world, are seen in color. Villains never see themselves as villains--they always see their actions as the right things, or, in a rare case like Mordred's, they feel their roles to be wrong and may feel remorse but also feel that they have no other choice but to do what they're destined to do. <3 Mordred, great character.
@Beastealityforthewin Mordred's tale is probably even sadder when you consider Arthur was pretty much Merlin's pawn as Mordred was Morgan's pawn. Arthur and Mordred even managed to devise a peaceful solution to the war, but as they were making the treaty a snake slithered up, one of Arthur's knights drew his sword to protect the two kings, but it was mistaken for a hostile act and so the war restarted.
Also the moment when Mordred died, he was in a sort of embrace with Arthur.
@tokorev747777 which to me suggests that you are not familiar with their music.....do yourself a favour and listen to youtube's playlist for them - you will understand the awesomeness that you have been missing out on. Enjoy!!
Blind Guardian: One of the few (maybe the only one) bands to not have a single bad/underrated album, but to change their sound arround those years. THOSE ARE true musicians!
It's strange. I never really regarded Mordred as anything but a plot convenience, but listening to this song, I can see him in a completely new light. There's even some sympathy for him.
This album, along with Nightfall in Middle Earth, are the best works they've ever released hands down!!!-they're practicaly the reason why I got into this band in the first place and still love them to this day!
@Aleksandar7 At least you've been in 3 of them... i only went to one and a half and missed the best concert they did in Greece because I had no one to go with :"(

I have to say blind guardian is definately one of the most complex and masterfully organized metal bands ever. Did i say metal? I meant one of the best bands ever.
Should I feel like a traitor when power metal bands like Stratovarius nad Sonata Arctica come from Finland (where I born & live) but I love Blind Guardian? x)
@ZeZininenWalomiekka both Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica are amazing bands but you are no traitor lol Blind Guardian is absolutely incredible.... though I do love Finland (even though I'm from North America) for the exceptionally talented musicians it has given the world
I know this is crazy but I believe I'm his reincarnation, I almost die once was pronounced dead and my body started to decay... But in the coma for 7 days when my system was shuting all the way down it reversed and all my body started healing they have not answers as to how or why i even died in the table and I seen so much. I believe I'm a angel or something that has fallen but when I dreamed my wings was dark but I don't feel evil, I feel really neutral to everything. might be just me.
@TheHampdenRaven You are absolutely right, you're crazy but there's nothing wrong with that. Out of insanity is born creativity. Write a book, join a band, or work for fox news (most of them believe they are holy /shrug).
