'Last of all, Húrin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered, and each time that he slew Húrin cried: 'Aurë entuluva!
"The field was lost and hope had passed away, the sun went down beyond the sea, dark was the hour BUT DAY SHALL COME AGAIN!"
The story of Hurin and his poor kids always brings me to tears, gotta love how BG incorporated that last line in their song...shivers down my spine every time!
if blind guardian would have a little more publicity, they would be known all over the world!! that's what I like about them, they don't care about being famous, they only care about the music!!
Why are we even discussing Slipknot on this video? The only decent album was Vol 3. Blind Guardian doesn't even have a decent album... they're all GREAT!

Okay. Before anyone says anything else? Blind Guardian doesn't have a cult fanbase. The reason they aren't as big in North America is because they are huge in Europe, and the north american music industries, to protect itself doesn't allow anyone to play this stuff in North America. So you have bands like Slipknot who are 'huge' in north america and nowhere else. Just because it's big in America doesn't make it good elsewhere. Most bands coming out of here can't make it world wide. For a reason.
@gifdetected they the golden exception,they like the only band to sell so many millions of albums with no publicity,also they big in america as they gave birth to prog metal and respect needs to be payed for that,same with black sabbath
ever notice how in slipknot videos theres groups of people who are either lovin or hatin, but in blind guardian vids everyone's on the same page regarding BG's greatness. I feel a lot of comradory on these pages.
@dlangables I think that has to do more with the fact that slipknot has a much larger fanbase than Blind Guardian. I don't mean to insult them, but Blind Guardian more of a cult-like fanbase (not particularly a bad thing, I like BG better than slipknot). so anyone who searches these vids probably already likes them. However, slipknot has more publicity, and thus more people have heard of them, so more people will look up there music, regardless of weather they like it or not. my theory at least
@zeppelin88ab That could actually be the nicest thing you could ever say about slipknot. They are without a doubt the biggest pile of shit band. Hey look at us we've got 9 people in our band...Some guys just run around hitting a trash can others do even less.
@420dimebag haha that is true. they have 3 drummers. 2 of them hit garbage cans and random metal cages and shit. jordison does get some respect from me. he is ok at drums
@zeppelin88ab I saw him play with Satyricon, he was awful. Couldn't keep up and he got sent home like 2 shows after the one I saw. I mean he's ok but he'd have to be near the bottom of a list of best drummers.
clean my wounds..wash away all fear..let courage be mine..Nooooone hears me crying ! "NO SONG NO TALE WHICH CONTAINS ALL THE GREIF, RENOWNED THE DEEDS AND THE VICTIMS OF DEFEAT" best fuckin line eveeeeeeeeer
It gets some lovin' from me - nothing better to play in the background while playing Warhammer online and having your Chaos Chosen smash into a warband of high elves, men and dwarves....
