[MasutaMantoruri]

@smoffelol the pot doesnt kick in until your 8 min into the song

[ViperRob42]

@johnnyrckt lol 8 minutes... the song is 17:05 on album version foolio

[johnnyrckt]

@ViperRob42 lol You think your cool repeating what somebody already said and adding "foolio"? Eat glass and drink vinegar.

[Lundix]

@johnnyrckt harsh O.o

[6661MetalHead1666]

I happen to be a bigger fan of slayer but this version stomps theirs!

[sweet58441]

Germany gives birth to some of the most badass metal bands

[JUICES74]

no way this is better than slayer. no way!

[Kalistracko]

All covers Sucks, the original version kick ass!! this song is for the hippie people, not for the trash metal people, or power metal people, HARD ROCK!!!!

[goodyear2602]

sad that they didn't cover the drum solo as well

[copatesses]

in the garden of eden (that supose to means)

[adamw7641]

slayer > blind gaurdian

[nobunagaspectre]

@adamw7641 You<Logic

[adamw7641]

@nobunagaspectre >*

[xAcxDcx]

It's actually pretty good!

[SuperPeterloco]

estas version es mucho menos poderosa que la de slayer. No imagino una banda que le pueda dar mas maldad a esta cancion.

[mastermatron]

this version is better than others , may be is better than ironbutterflys hahaha oh dammed !!

[timthemagicbus666]

did anyone in blind gaurdian have anything to do with demons and wizards [the vocalist seems the same - brilliant best.] fan of hansie kurshes [i may have spelt it wrong sorry] work

[smoffelol]

@timthemagicbus666 Demons & Wizards is a power metal band conceived as a side-project of the metal bands Blind Guardian and Iced Earth.

[timthemagicbus666]

@smoffelol thanks for the information, ill shall check out blind gaurdian a bit more as well as iced earth.

[Kaznitelj]

@timthemagicbus666  NOOOOOOOOOB

[timthemagicbus666]

@Kaznitelj who you calling a noooob, what are you thinking, ENGLAND TIL I DIE

[timthemagicbus666]

@Kaznitelj still not brave enough to explain yourself are you, ill just assume then that you were joking. just out of interest, what music are you into?

[NorthFulton88]

@timthemagicbus666 Hansi did.

[timthemagicbus666]

@NorthFulton88 not you as well, is the internet full of morons

[DarkEyesofSorrow]

@timthemagicbus666 Yes Hansi Kurich of Blind Guardian is the vocalist for Demons & Wizards. Jon Schafer from Iced Earth. They actually put the cds together through email/file sharing.

[timthemagicbus666]

@DarkEyesofSorrow i like to thank you for your answer, why cant some people be as sensible as you.

[timthemagicbus666]

@Emelie99 like all versions of inna garda da vida. 

[nadjnenad]

its just matter of taste , i personaly think that blind guardian's version is much better!!

[GhostofWar75]

this sucks ass! slayers is ways better

[AlegouveiaII]

learn how to fuck a classic with few seconds....u_U'

[lordjdog]

Is that a tremelo/wha/delay?

[enriquelable]

*......* k wapo xD

[STEEVSUPREME]

great version

[dominic159951]

For the people who are making fun of slayers cover, Slayer never wanted to cover the song in the first place. Their record company made them do it... Also, here is a quote from wiki "The band was not happy with the final product, Hanneman deeming it "a poor representation of Slayer" and King labeling it "a hunk of shit,""

[adamw7641]

@dominic159951 slayer's version was still pretty kick ass tho... my fav cover

[mrcrowley6661]

@Emelie99

wow i think you're right o.o

[blackskullz18]

This cover is pretty good, but I like the Slayer cover better.

[ImkoolathanU]

@blackskullz18 Same here. Its heavier!

[noggerblams]

Well, BG has made some strange covers over the years... this is one of them!

[VerifyTheValidity]

@noggerblams How is this a strange cover? 

[FunLovingCriminals77]

in the garden of eden

[wildedu7]

This cover is a Shit, Blind Guardian = Gay!!!

[shuran666]

Blind Guardian - yes. Blind Guardian on this song - not really. That's prolly their worst cover.

[Metayounis]

I wanna hear metallica singing this song..

[QingLong90]

@Metayounis I not, beacuse Metallica sucks.

[Yadooba]

@QingLong90 Metallica sucks?! Hey if you want to compare skill, yeah there not as good as Blind Guardian, but compare Blind Guardian with Symphony X and then Blind Guardian would quote on quote "Suck."

[smoffelol]

@Yadooba "quote-unquote"*

[envoyoftheshadow]

the best version of this song !!!  yeahhhhh

[blewcheer]

The vocals on this suck just as bad as the vocals on the Slayer version, just for different reasons.

No one can properly cover this song, nor should anyone try.

[blewcheer]

The vocals on this suck just as bad as the vocals on the Slayer version, just for different reasons.

No one can properly cover this song, nor should anyone try.

[Huzzawful]

blah I think iron butterflies vocalist is the best for this song, whats his face from blind guardian doesnt have the creepy thing down and tom araya adds too much anger to it

[KrugerBorexGuitar]

this is awesome slayer can sucked

[Johanneke1963]

I loved this song since the1st time I ever heard it playing on the radio, a very LONG LONG time ago (still at primary school!). Question: DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE HELL "IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA" MEANS?????????

[mattiee55]

@Johanneke1963 Drunk version of "In the garden of eden"

[coolethan8]

@mattiee55 pig latin for in the garden of eden

[Johanneke1963]

@mattiee55 (Better late than not at all:) TAHNK YOU VERY MUCH-ARIGATO-MERCI-MUCHAS GRACIAS-DANKE SCHÖN-DANK JE WEL!!!! You don't know how long I've been looking for an answer, pfffff....FINALLY I know! Used to think it was spanish cause of "da vida" (life), but it didn't explain the "in-a-gadda" part. I can sleep in peace now, hahahahaha... Later alligator x.

[mrniceguy96]

@Johanneke1963 In the garden of eden. The lead singer was too high on LSD he couldn't say, "In the Garden of Eden"

[577473]

this and slayer's should've stayed instrumental...

[Druff3l]

/agree

[DrAK1952]

awesome!!!!

[Rcker934]

I think that the best version is the original... But this is a good cover, I like the Slayer's cover too

[Challotex]

Slayer's cover got its rythm, like blind guardian's has it... Both covers are greats, but the original has no comparison...

[christiancif]

iron butterfly father of heavy metal with link wray and sir lord baltimore :)

[firdaus5437]

slayer version is better....in my opinion..

[powerslaveiron49]

slayer is gay....in my opinion

[metoeecen]

@powerslaveiron49 lol. a power metal fan says slayer is gay

[brottarnacke]

Yeah, this version rules.

[Spartanhoplit]

It's "In a Gadda da Vida" because the where drunk when they wrote it.

[theZodiacDigital]

it's an old traditional church song, meant to be played on an organ. In the Garden of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly.

[CluttProductions]

I've heard that the singer was too high one rehearsal and sung in a gadda da vida by mistake and they kept it that way.

[Dameon725]

@CluttProductions its true, it was supposed to be "In the Garden of Eden" I could see that coming out when on cid lol...

[kyteboy689]

dang this is epic

[jubolito]

I always thought this song was "In the garden of eden"hahaha.

[brosfight]

That's the real title :D In A Gadda Da Vita it's kinda an alternative title since if you say In The Garden Of Eden fast, you can here In A GAdda Da Vida

[jubolito]

Oh, yeah, I found out a little later, but thanks.

I read it was because they were high while singing it and said it like this, and then the name stuck.

[brosfight]

That's it ;)

[Arandorn]

@jubolito In a Gadda Da Vida is just another language i think but don't ask me wich maybe italian or something like this

[Eurobatman]

It's not italian at all

[DarkShinigamiKing]

This is a best cover to in a gadda da vidda!!

Slayer cover sucks!!

[Cstrife234]

@DarkShinigamiKing Meh, the original was better. This seems forced.

[stoneage332]

@DarkShinigamiKing bastard!



[QingLong90]

@DarkShinigamiKing Blind Guardian is way better than Slayer.

[darkbatMori]

I wish this was on The Forgotton Tales...it's just what it needs to make it perfect. XD

[aberageddon]

awesome cover! the original version is probably better because of its awesome elongated solos. still this song is really cool!

[kirara2004]

Magnific!

[tastgagta]

I love this song! Blind guardian was able to bring that extra something to this song. Excellent!

[ISOCSO]

i love it.....it's one of the best songs ever

[Tamething]

I love the original by Iron Butterfly, but this is an EXCELLENT remake! And zippier!

[sumfumduk]

Best cover I have found

[crazycody3]

i dont get it the name of the song is " in the garden of eden" why must people insist its in a gadda da vida

[buckerm]

I think the 45 was released as In a Gadda Da Vida, but not sure that was 40 years ago, or the DJ's called it that I really don't know, but I'm going look at my 45 and the album.

[GoldenSharpee]

We insist upon the name simply because it sound cooler. In the Garden of Eden just sounds silly. In a gadda da vida, however, totally rocks. You understand?

[SHaZaMs7]

cuz when they created it they were stoned out of there mind and couldnt remember what they sang

[Ryder11cro]

read the story about the origin of song's name before you start asking questions like that...

[YoJimBoHugabaJoe]

i thought in a gadda da vida is the b-side and was just the guitarist messing around during sound checks

[xoxgodofgodsgodxx]

Because that's what Iron Butterfly said it is.

[diamond1hammer]

Early Blind Guardian did border on tharsh, though. Check their first couple of albums.

[jevuliss]

the original one is in my top 5 of ever... but.. this version.. ROCKS!

[spiderpoop1]

good song the slayer versions solo was better though

[Mackasfour]

Better then slayer no doubt, BG rules!

[PosteMierdas]

En El Jardin del eden..¡¡¡ jojojo

buenisima,..

[boullis1993]

\m/ METAL \m/ FROM ATHENS

[ConquerorEnEmY]

Man this fucking music is awesome!

[darklordbaf]

blind guardian is so underrated but fuckin' awsome i love them

[MrSAMPI74]

YEAH!!! Its the most fuckin` heavy song I ever listened. AGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

[AlexanderDavidBand]

Actually Iron Butterfly were supposedly trying to sing "In the Garden Of Eden" but they were so high they couldn't pronounce in correctly.

[missedwithtruestrike]

he was drunk, get it right.

[nWo85]

r u serious? i nvr kne tht haha thts awesum

[ermora19]

is a fantastic song!!

[gospelgirl4]

it's actually "Anegada Da Vida"

[Moonbiter]

Hem... nope.

[aesirHM]

No, it's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.

[gospelgirl4]

hmmm...I must've looked it up wrong or something...

[ironlion124531]

not better but nearly just as god

[stasgard]

This shows Blind Guardian's ability to make something awesome and make it even better!

[franktyrell]

Very good cover!

[BumLegionair]

got damn this is good music.

[FluffyDonkey]

Holy fuck this is good!!!!!!

[nightmareb4jesus]

Heard this on Supernatural for the first time.. Man, I wish that series had a sound track... Has all the awesome songs in a row...

[Bix12]

Aside from the original, this is the best version I've heard...and aside from the one my band did, that is.../:-)

[Shieldbreaker826]

frickin sweet dude can anyone send me an mp3 of this?

[vanbeukenstein]

Listen to the Van Beukenstein 'live' version! That's a cool one!

[dthedudek]

I <3 Blind Guardian!!!

[roddoliver]

Check out Jag Panzer's version. It's in their 1986 demo, Shadow Thief.

[flescum]

Cool, but I prefer Tom Araya singing this one

[CabezaKubo]

both versions are sooooooo cool, but that version is much better than slayer's, and i'm a hard fan of slayer

[grene20]

this version rocks!!! so much better thatn slayer's... that sucks...

[Santy92xD]

it sounds more judas priest with owen , no blind guardian =/

[jakratchet]

Such a freaking good cover.... if there is anyway you cna cover a song, into a suitible style that sounds as good as the original... this is how

[thoughtheglass]

blind gaurdian own slayer. i was thinking of covering this- before i heard this version. IT seems pointless after they've done it so perfectly

[pinkmonk69]

dude your right this is sick.

[whocares973]

blind guardian is bitchin 8)

[LiquidxRaiden]

Wow if this isnt the epitome of heavy Metal i dont know what is. This is Kickass man,Great redoing of an Epic song.

[TekheeTaiteilijan]

YEAH! sweet

[DarkTxusGoyaX]

ja, para el que no sepa. the original version of this song is of Iron Butterfly, one rock band

[1kq2]

I LOVE THIS SONG....

[TheHandTrembler]

Yeah alot better than Slayer's. Very good

[jdbrown333]

I'm a long time fan of the original by Iron Butterfly and I have to say that this remake is impressive!

It sure blows away Slayer's attempt IMO.

[WeinSnoken]

Well, Slayer doesn't do the right kind of singing to fit with this song, where Blind Guardian is almost perfect for it.

[PontikkaSeppo]

Heavy sounds! Main riff is awesome \,,/

[omaryairsanchezislas]

esta muy buena pero la de iron butterfly no tiene madres

[powerman130189]

this is really awesome!!!!

[wieisernouleon]

suckers

[kalleschwab]

OMG its sooo bad.....

[SharrkyX]

:(.

[metalheim]

make a better cover :-)

[SharrkyX]

AMAZING!

[OrochiZetsubou]

adoro la vecion de iron butter fly nadie se la gana y la verdad eske blind fuardian se la rifa y la vercion de slayer sux

[XThunderX90]

Not from Blind Guardian, it's from Demons and Wizards, a band of Hansi Kürsch and John Fischer (Blind Guardian & Iced Earth)

Rockin Song anyway ;)

[StanMay575]

Sorry, XThunderX90,

but that's really Blind Guardian. It's from the Single Fly.

And by the way - Demons & Wizards are Hansi Kürsch and Jon Schaffer.

So, please do me a favor and go back to Metalschool before you post such a mess again....

[XThunderX90]

To err is human.

Now you tell me, i remember it.

Sorry for posting wrong information.

[angantyr86]

Those guitars in the chorus... and after the second chorus... i like Blind Guardian but this... Hansi's voice... make puke...

[poofer89]

Blind Guardian murdered Slayer with this song.

[fl4shyboy]

slayers one is mucho trashier

[AmokBR]

Yeah, the Slayer one kinda makes your ear hurt after a while (like everything they do). The original one is cool, but there's all that bullshit psychedelic crap that last for hours. This version is really cool.

[nazi8per]

True about that psychedelic stuff... that's what happens when you hit the bong.

[LedZeppelin699]

psychedellic crap? you mean one of the best long drum solos in rock history?

[nazi8per]

Nope, 'cause you missed my point.

[Mackasfour]

Plus, Blind Guardian isn't thrash you twit.

[wurst1finger]

blind guardian isn´t thrash? you´ve neven been at a concert of them!
