Demons & Wizards - Gallows Pole

[Nitronimor]

This doesn't sound like Led Zeppelin...

[mlbadrov]

@Nitronimor why should it sound like Led Zeppelin?

[Nitronimor]

@mlbadrov it's a joke because this song shares a title with a Led Zeppelin song. I thought it was a cover when I saw the title, clearly I'm wrong. Just poking fun.

[Saavy101]

This is the first demons & wizards song i ever heard.

[LordDragonBleedleaf]

@Saavy101 same

kicks ass, tears it up too

[OnWingsofMetalMadnes]

RunOut is absolutely right: Blind Guardian combined with Iced Earth is hust ridiculously awesome Metal!

[ShokanPrince812]

Real Metal when you need it.

That should be a catch phrase to a kick ass radio station.

[MrTylerMatyas]

@ShokanPrince812 It actually is the catch phrase of one of my local metal stations O_o

[towmasterB]

This whole album is a masterpiece of pure genius!!!!!!!

[lukemanify]

For me, an 80's metallian this is bliss...

[Rincewind47]

When I found this video, i thought it was just a Led Zeppelin cover because of its name, but when I heard it, I had to bow before such a great musical work. Brilliant song indeed!

[Novascova]

5 people hung from the gallows pole :P

[TheCircusAddicted]

This band made me discover metal.. I discovered it when I was 9... and I still LOVE it

[dannddddjjjdjdjjjdjd]

essa banda é muito boa,,tem um som bem pesado,,o verdadeiro HEAVY METAL!!!!

[blindGuardianGR]

their best song

[shaughnessy]

truly awesome

[mastermatron]

hurra !

[Longlivethe4th]

@qwerty12145 It's part 2 of a trilogy about Jesus's life I think.

[tibortru]

@Longlivethe4th No it is not about Jesus at all . The three songs tell the bleak story of the fictious character Azrael, a gnome. Azrael is the creator of the entire universe. He becomes weary of his creation and wants to undo that which he has done so he and a companion begin a journey through the universe. Azrael dissolves his creation bit by bit, including himself and finally lets his companion return alone to create a new universe for himself. ;)

[Longlivethe4th]

@tibortru Wow !

[MrTylerMatyas]

@tibortru Side note - Azrael is the name of the Archangel of Death. :P

[Neueregel]

Exaxtly 10 years since I firstly heard this one!! The 1st Demons &Wizards CD with the paper Fiddler rising off the Digipack ruled !!

[Eumeltools]

The only Song by Demons & Wizards i like.

The 0:01 - 0:39 <3

[Riffmaker2704]

@Eumeltools

Did you just listen to "Blood on my hands"? It's awesome too. I think "Fiddler on the Green" could be something for you, too ;)

[Eumeltools]

@Riffmaker2704 they are ok but not my taste sry^^ dark and deathmetal is more my thing somethng like Eisregen :D

[Eumeltools]

@Riffmaker2704 ps wenn du deutsch kannst schreib deutsch ;D

[Riffmaker2704]

@Eumeltools

geht klar :D

also naja, dann kann ich auch nichts machen :D

[Eumeltools]

@Riffmaker2704 ^^ trozdem danke

[LacunaCoilas]

I am learning to play this song and its really fun to play. :) its such a good song.

[Mijrin]

@2:18 Wohohohohooo hohohoho~

Wohohaa~ Aa~aaA~ (Can't stop humming it.)

[Pinolek19]

im fcking LOVE THIS BAND THE CD WICKED WITCH IT'S ALL ABOUT ME ! :D

[UnholyCrusada]

I've always wondered, 4:54 to the end is the exact same thing as Tear Down the Wall but in E instead of A (and with different lyrics). Do these songs have a connection of some sort? Come to think of it the lyrics in that part "Nothing is Real, Nothing but him" and some lyrics in the former "No future nor the past", and from My Last Sunrise: "There's nothing real but you and I". Do these 3 songs tell a story of some sort?

[KingTexonidas]

@UnholyCrusada They've all got similar themes, but they aren't directly related. Apart from all being fucking spectacular.

[calthin]

@UnholyCrusada Go check out the pages for those three songs over on Songmeanings. They have a theory that the songs are about the creator of the universe losing it and unmaking everything, including himself. But leaving one person behind.

[poetjohny]

where can i find the guitarpro tabs of this song? pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mitsaras68]

@poetjohny 911 tabs

[poetjohny]

many thanks.but don't know why i could not?

[RunOut1724]

This band is fucking awesome! Blind Guardian and Iced Earth kick ass, put them together and you get epicness!

[Blitzkreig85]

@RunOut1724 Seriously, if only more could experience the epicness. Unfortunately they will never understand music genres like this.

[ChaSEBradY1]

a truley godlike band

[Gangu1z]

@ChaSEBradY1 Tr00

[da44e]

Iced Guardian/Blind Earth=Demons&Wizards=World's best combination!

Pure epicness, awesomness and metal godlikeness!

[Cygnus7659]

lol it's Iced Earth/Blind Guardian

[da44e]

of course it is. I was just making it confusing xD

[satur0s]

what the fuck am i reading?

[EmbraceParkour]

Call me messiah!!

[Griffen55]

almost all the comments i read regarding D&W are of hansi.. given his vocals are indeed amazing. but don't sell short the wonderful guitar work of Mr. Schaffer

[aaronstallard]

i only heard B.G cause i was a huge I E fan now B G are my fav

[Mizuki8]

@Griffen55 True he is pretty excellent, but he's no Andre' which is what we're used to hearing Hansi with. Though I will admit his Acoustic playing is better, save for A past and future secret.

[CryW0lf78]

Awesome....I love it.

[triggerofctv]

i love this song. gotta love allusions ;)

[FairyTaleAssassin]

This is pretty cool :)

[valdar666]

One of my favorite songs of D&W, nice lyrics and nice solo and as always, SUPERB VOICE OF HANSI KÜRSCH :D

[Atheistx82]

Mine too. Hansi fucking rocks.

[Atheistx82]

OMG This is one of my favorite songs... I'll never understand why it's so obscure.

[valdar666]

what the hell people, go into a forum if you want to discuss religion..this is a D&W song, so just freaking enjoy it...littering good songs with religion crap...

[guillermo968]

people is always stupid enough to find something that goes against their belief for some reason when it is a complete different thing ..

[fluorovision]

god im so fuckin high

[KAOTSOUKI]

fuck YHWH shit music is god.great song..

[sewagedweller]

good music , too bad its not well know . but then again it might get ruined if it goes pop .

[joelikesdogs]

they are so fucking trippy when your baked

[McbreakRsfanboy]

WHERE CAN I FIND SOME D&W ALBUMS???

[satrianiomgomg]

try your local music vendor ahah but they hard to find

[deathmetalwho]

This shit is not hard to find. I got The Crimson King from Bestbuy for fuck's sake!

I love it how people think they listen to the rarest and most hard to find music while you can find it at the most mainstream and popular stores.

[wonderfoam]

It depends on the bands. In my case I'm always looking and 9 times out of ten I can't even find something I want to buy out of Wal Mart, Best Buy, FYE, and yes, even the Virgin Megastores! I'm one of the people that has to order about half of the albums I buy! I don't dispute you however, there are a lot of people that just don't look hard enough and call certain bands 'rare'.

[Atheistx82]

:P This particular song is hard to find on the web though...

[Atheistx82]

Real Metal is obscure now though, when you really think about it. It's all NU-Metal and crap.

Being at Best Buy doesn't make you famous though. I got "Secret Spheres of Art" by Alogia from Best Buy, and I also picked up a Derdian albulm there one time.

[Atheistx82]

[ospididious]

You know you can walk into any record store and they'll order you whatever you want if you just ask them to.

[McbreakRsfanboy]

i found them on amazon

[ospididious]

...or you can order online

[hardcoreguitarpalyer]

lol

[Psychogein]

Azrael is not a god in Jewish theology. Azrael is the angel of death, and a servant of YHWH (God).

[mogget69]

Azrael is not a God, however he is one of the high seraphs in Qabbalistic Judaic Mysticism.

[KhanStodge]

i though the jewish people beliave in Youshua our only God

[notzaar]

um no believing in jesus is pretty much the hallmark of a christian not a jew dude. wtf are you on? crack?

[samlovemetal]

Well... i dont think anyone really disputes Jesus existed... But the Christians believe he was the Messiah.

[Hellstormenter]

Yeah jesus was a real person we actually have proof of it but the supernatural things he did isnt real he was a philospher just like plato or sacraties

[YouSirAreNoob]

Socrates* and no he wasn't JUST LIKE them. He was a n00b. They were pros

[coleman409]

That's a fucking terrible comparison. Plato and Socrates were like 10x more intelligent.

[Atheistx82]

Evidence? Like what?

[Atheistx82]

I dispute that he existed ;) No contemprary records man.

[Arkonias]

um... azrael was the Jewish god of death. i know nothing about a gnome

[metastophles]

Jewish... god... hmm I could've sworn that Judaism was monotheistic. lol

[Sonetodecirene]

I'm prety sure it was a angel -__-

[Alfrayer]

Yea, angel, not god.

[mnditx]

azrael is the angel of death to the Jewish, who keeps the hells door, and prevents the demons not to scape

[wallytherhino2]

Who is Azrael the gnome?

[WDemonicPrince]

fictional god-like figure

[r0gueshadovv]

lol sounds like something from world of warcraft or something . Although i do now that azrael is the archangel of death so maybe it represents death which appears small and harmless.

[7yankee10]

at 42, and having explored numerous musical genres over the years, this album is amoungst the most amazing i have ever heard. Not a bad song on the record.

[JakeTheRipper2]

This album alone stands out from the rest I've heard, save for two or three from Hammerfall and Arcturus.

[WakkoWakker]

this album is a masterpiece, every single song is epic. =D

[wmacosx]

anyone known what the lyric talk about?

[Alucard2014]

just write "demons and wizards lyrics" on google bro!!:S

[wmacosx]

I've the lyric -.- but the subject is not so explicit,

[Damien9607]

Gallow's Pole is the second part of a trilogy of songs that explains the story of Azrael the gnome. Basically, he created the universe, but over time he decided he created a terrible universe; so he and a friend sought out to destroy it, piece by piece. In the end he destroyed himself to let his friend build a universe on his own.

[markisme123]

Wearing this shirt right now... One of my favorite albums of all time.

[OverlordPride]

Not even remotely a Zeppelin cover

[tacoheadghost]

This isn't a Zeppelin Cover lolz.

[AlexeiPushkin]

Fail.

[MorbidGuardian]

you do realize that many bands use titles that have already been used, right? For example, Black Sabbath has a song called Warning, but so does Incubus and Green Day (ew).

[Helsling]

100% phail.

[Sonetodecirene]

I assume you have never heard Led Zeppelin then.

[wonderstruck1988]

this is the best song on the album imo

[Cajaquarius]

The whole album is gold as far as I am concerned.

[NArkWTikA]

where is shaffers wicked riffs?

[DesperadoCowboy]

i beg you...someone post "poor mans crusade",i mean i can see the whole album here by different guys,but this song is not in youtube...

:"( and it rocks since hansi sings.

[Deekwin]

It always rocks when Hansi Kürsch sings!!!

[ahhshitja]

So much talent here.

[lxx68ster]

Any body can HELP ME? There was a group in the 80`s, i can´t remember the name, they had a song "Blackmass"- Satan´s free..., another we heard some witchs in the court house, senteced to burn at the stake alive, Daniel Hobs, Sarah Hobs we´ve been found guilty of practing sorsery, blá bla. I need help to remember the name of the band!!!!!!!

[yeyeteygcbvcserzZEQ]

black masses / black funeral / satan's fall are songs of MERCYFUL FATE , isn't that?

[Leibhaftige]

Are you by any chance looking for Warlord?

[Leibhaftige]

Are you by any chance looking for the group 'Warlord'?

[poojaa89]

one of the best songs of demons and wizards

so much power..

[MySerpentine]

Reminds me o' sai Flagg . . .

[MySerpentine]

Say sai thankya for fan bands . . . ;)

[Nightfall0]

Demons and Wizards and Blind Guardian in my opinion are the only good power metal bands, and they kcik ass!

[blindguardian33]

They're the best, but Iced Earth, Elvenking, Nightwish, and Symphony X are also good, they just don't have Hansi to make their vocals sound amazing.

[Nightfall0]

Yeah, I guess I just listen to the vocals more than anything!

[blindguardian33]

If you like Schaffer (Rhythm Guitarist and Background vocals), he plays in Iced Earth too.

[Nightfall0]

I'll give them a try and see if they're any good

[icedddeth]

check out "alive in athens"

[austy108642]

Yes Everybody check out Iced Earth =D, I'm a bigger fan of Blind Guardian tho :P Still amazing.

[DustyRhodes4]

I don't know Matt Barlow may not have as good vocal range but its sounds like he has more emotion in his singing

[Ulme06]

ManOwaR is oldscholl Powermetal ^^

I they rocks too ..

[nitang58]

manowar is heavy ffs :))

[quillwielder]

How many albums do they have out?  the only one i have listened to is the one with fiddler on the green. this album. All in all this is probably one of the best albums I've ever heard.

[blindguardian33]

They only have two so far.

You're looking for "Touched By The Crimson King"

[Akhnar]

Demons & wizards r the greatest band ever. everyone that can start telling people about them on youtube and tell them about there best songs!!!!!!

[hardrocker90]

haha, i like how the kids are just looking up at him like its no big deal

[blindguardian33]

Both Albums they made are good. This one is WAY etter. Thanks for the upload.

[blindguardian33]

I have to pick up this album. I love both Blind Guardian and Iced Earth, and now they're working together!

[Ashmann]
