  • Way better than the Ultravox :D

  • This is a magical cover in a different way which I like. I call this creativity when they try to sound more like it was their own song.

  • What is the deeper meaning of song Hymen?

  • chido no los avia escuchado son una reata parada la neta.

  • nah...drums is bad. No loops on guitars...crap.

    original 10.000 times better

  • Trance-Song Crazy it is a trance remix of this song it is much better

  • @huskystarcraft1 fuck that cheap techno shit

  • @huskystarcraft1 hell yeah dude

  • The Best Edguy ever!

  • just fucking awesome!!!!!!!

  • I am a fan of both Edguy and Ultravox, but I really don't like this cover.

  • the epicness released a tear from my eye :')

  • simply awesome.

  • This song is so awesome! I love Tobias Sammet's voice, it's so damn good!

  • Rhön-Rock!

    

  • This song must be our hymn !!

  • The best metal version =) But not even close to Ultravox magic

  • Freaking great version, but I have to give my hat off to the Ultravox version

  • Wow, I think I might even prefer this to the original- a metal cover works soooo well with this song!!

  • Mägo de Oz (from Spain) did a version of this song, it's called Mañana Empieza Hoy, it's a little bit more folk rock, but i love it anyway, if you search for it, hope you like it ;)

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I've been listening to Edguy for a few years now and sadly the first time I heard this was just a month ago, lol.

  • the sound is good, but the original text was "till THY kingdom come". using "my" makes no sense at all.

  • @plumbum84 -well since it is at the time in edguys career and fantasy power metal band. "my kingdom" actually fits perfectly and if you know anything about Tobias while he has a knowledgable religious background he typically rides the fence swaying both ways and uses christian themes and references in many songs. "my kningdom" would be maybe a form of ego or selfish take on thy kingdom. Kinda a stsance that many metal bands take on it. Im not trying to argue just IMO. Tho "thy" is more accurate

  • Świetny band, świetny wokal. Świetny cover

  • Immortal cover song !!

    (I'm not talking about the band Immortal, I just say that this song is timeless !)

  • If my kingdom comes EDGUY is going to be writing the HYMN xD=)=)=)=)

  • @joncantspell

    '...a musical education?!' Yer obviously quite unfamiliar with Edguy or Avantasia, aren't ya.

    It must be said, Vain Glory Opera's production wasn't the best, but that only spoils the performance slightly.

    I grew up with Ultravox.

    I take this on the terms it's intended, a fun & passionate cover song for a b-side,& it's awesome.

    Yer critique is biassed & unjustified.

    Sammett may have a similar range & vibrato to Dickinson, but their similarities end there.

    & leave Drum Bunny alone:)

  • hey justin bieber, listen this song ¬¬

  • Comment removed

  • How dare any of you compare this to the original, you must be deaf or uneducated.

    God bless Ultravox

  • This version is Junk, junk..110% TOTAL junk....Where do I start? well the vocals sound terrible, they are over 'camp soulless and full of fake pomp, it's like Bruce Dickinson sung in broken English. Also the horrible double bassdrums just sound clichéd not only that but he also sings the wrong words, I canot explain in detail why this version should have been aborted, this trully is an insult to the memory of a classic. it's obvious that some of you need a musical education.

  • masterpiece...

  • edguy's version is SO MUCH better than original one

  • WOW. Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sweet song!!!

  • THIS MAKES ME PROUD TO BE AN EDGUY FANATIC!

  • not as good as ultravox at least you can hear midge over the music.

  • I love the original version, but this version is better IMO.

  • Good Group here.

  • wherever his kingdom is im finding it and staying there! who's coming with me!

  • El mejor cover de Hymn!!!!!!!!

  • jawoll deutscher speed metal gibt kaum was besseres als edguy

  • nicE!

  • Excellent feeling, rises and stays high almost throught the whole song

  • good

  • This song does justice to the headbangers who decided that the original song was too light for their tastes. It's fitting, and after a bit of listening, it's actually not that bad even for a electronic person like me.

  • Awesome!

  • love it

  • Wtf, same song like Hymn from Lunatica..

  • This song kicks so much ass! Epic win! ^__^

  • Nice song, ty for upload :D i have just founded Edguy as band now.. and this song thanks of you ;P

  • i like the lunatica version lol

  • Ultravox failed

    Edguy ftw

  • I head banged so hard to this song that I hit my desk and broke my face.

  • @unseenxxx

    ahahahahahhah yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-...you rule!

  • aww ich liebe dieses Lied einfach!!

    Das Original fand ich seltsam..aber Edguy ist einfach nur geil!!

  • ROCK!!! !

  • EPIC!!! 5*!

  • wonderful cover, but the song is just begging for a woman's vocal(Lunatica) still edguy's rox as ever

  • I agree Lunatica's cover is prob the best ever, it remains powerful but through Andrea's vocals gains a sense of beauty that is void in other versions

  • i have heard the lunatica version, but it does not seem powerful and raw enough for me. She does sing it well. I just think this kind of song needs the dirty production rather than the cleaner production. In fact.. I did not know this was a cover of a pop song. When i found the original I could not stand it. I strongly prefer lunatica and Edguys version to that of the original. The lyrics fit the style for this album IMO

  • edguy,Iron maiden,Superior und Judas Priest sind einfach geil.

  • sch***e, ich glaub, ich werd fan...

    ultravox war damals schon der oberhammer, aber das übertrifft es noch..

  • what was edguy's first song?

  • probaly children of steel

  • geil geil geil, ich fand das original schon hammergeil, hab jetz erst herausgefunden das edguy das auch gecovert hat.

  • q tema wn filete sin duda el mejor cover

    grande edguy

  • Totalmente de acuerdo. Hay otro de Lunatica que también es bueno, pero nadie le gana al gran Edguy =P

  • el de lunatica es muuuuy bueno, me encanta, pero si...Edguy sera Edguy siempre! jaja ;)

  • mago de oz tambien le hace cover!

  • mit der stimme von Tobi hört sichs einfach immer noch am besten an O.O

  • Hammer Remake!!! :0) Sehr gut gemacht...

  • hahahha pobre idiota seguro eres un pendejo k no save ni hablar ingles as de ser un mokoso sin vida y te digo mi opinion michael jackson me lo paso por donde sea me importa un comino un puto popero q ya esta muerto no vengas a decir mamadas para empesar si te gusta el pop k chingados ases en metal? pendejo ponte a insultar atu jefa k te ase falta

  • llegale a la verga tu y tu Mierdael Jackson nada que ver aqui, largate a sacar el coraje de tus sentimientos reprimidos a otra parte,nada mas por que se murio todo el mundo ahora si le hace caso al pobre tipo pero antes andaba en el olvido.

    Heavy Metal Never Dies!!!

  • si no os gusta no andes a joder con los comentarios, es facil.

  • eso es por q michael murió :D si no hubiera muerto ni lo recordarías :D

  • a saber que tendrá que ver Michael Jackson aquí...

    Esta versión aplasta como cucarachas a las docenas de versiones dance que existen de este tema de ultravox.

  • sibirc7 - cover from ULTRAVOX - HYMN ^^

  • the best song by this band

  • Actually, it's a cover ;)

  • Cover?

    Whos song then this is = ?

  • ultravox

  • Buen amigo para mi !!!

  • goosebumps!

  • Damn ^^ I have to say it:

    FUCKING GREAT!

    Edguy forever ^^

  • i love metal and i love ultravox, but in my opinion they should be kept separate.

  • čudo cover

  • this is an amazing cover of ultravox

  • epic sound

  • It sounds almost like the original was supposed to be a christian song.

    I think its a good cover

  • I had my speakers on full volume when I started playing this. I was like FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!

  • Yeah!

  • till my kingdom coooomes!

  • this is one of my favorite song by edguy,

    1. King Of Fools

    2. Down to the Devil

    3. Superheroes

    4. Vain Glory Opera

    5. Hymn

  • Totally awesome :D

    Although I do prefer the version by Lunatica :P

  • What logic do you have that supports your statement??

  • Nothing against Ultravox, after all they wrote this amazing song. But Edguy perform it as if it had always been supposed to be metal. Very fitting for the song. Wonderful cover, and I actually prefer it to the original. Tobias Sammet has a great voice.

  • @Ellerfru Can be but nothing beats the original. Ultravox's track is simply much much better.

  • @Ellerfru

    This version is Junk, junk..110% TOTAL junk....Where do I start? well the vocals sound terrible, they are over 'camp soulless and full of fake pomp, it's like Bruce Dickinson sung in broken English.

  • @Ellerfru

    I agree with you. They took the original, and performed it with their own style and what ist the result? A song thats much better then the original.

  • Comment removed

  • it's a cover

  • anyway, it's great

    don't you think so?

  • of course!

  • this is soooo epic

  • Zaje..............!!!!

  • Ale super!

  • Great song *__*

  • awesome

  • edguy is the best!!! idc tht u say !

  • Edguy wymiata

  • esta si ke es buena!!!! grande edguy !

  • I love this song :D

  • Holy shit this song is good. Don't recall ever hearing it - but I may be wrong...

  • ¿Escuchaste alguna vez la original? ¿Sabes algo de música? ¿Has intentado comprender que tal vez, y digo solo tal vez, mago y edguy no buscan lo mismo? La de Edguy es una canción más metalera, desde luego, pero para darse cuenta de eso no hacía falta leer tu post con ortografía de niño con retraso de 6 años.

    Mi más cordial saludo.

  • Estoy contigo,yo tengo todos los discos de mago de oz,y soy fan del power metal en general,este senor parece que no ha escuchado el" Gaia",de Mago deOz,esta resuper bueno y bien Metal clasic epico,Mago de Oz,son rebuenos,mi amigo,un saludo.

  • LOVE IT!!!

  • amazing song!!!

  • God damn, this is amazing

  • La Cancion original Es de Ultravox, Hymn, 1982..

    La Versionaron e hicieron cover 3 bandas:

    Mago de oz: Mañna Empieza Hoy

    Edguy: Hymn

    Lunatica: HYmn

    Dos covers en ingles y uno en español, que cancion tan famosa para que la versionen tantas bandas...

  • grandiosa rola que bueno que ya la tenemos en español con mago de oz, pero no estan buena como la de tobias.

  • Lunatica????

  • ULTRAVOX FOREVER!

  • song has a striking resemblance to Freedom Call's We are one..

  • Just what I thought! Both are very good though :)

  • I think this is a solid album, lots of good songs and nice riffs. Better than their current hard rock direction in my opinion.

  • so true. Its sammet i think whos leading them away. all because the avantasia project...

  • Sau Cool...

  • this guys mint

  • ive benn a fan of edguy since they released vain glory opera here in the philipines.but suddenly theres no record store now that are selling edguy's latest album!love this song!

  • Great Ultravox's cover

  • I've heard EdGuy playing on the concert of Hammerfall the other day in Pilsen and they were pretty good. Still, original version of this particular song made by Ultravox is imho much better (since it is much more 80')

  • lol i got the technoversion

    age pee - hymn

  • Nice song, but I can hear the Tobias is far more unexperieced on this album than nowadays... he hasn't evolved into "Hellfire-Tobi" yet ^____^

  • Still awesome though :P

  • IS PRETTY

  • party

    eben deutsche band=)

    einfach nur geil

  • Cuauhtemoc1500 - nie przejmuj się typem ;-)kapele które podałeś są wyśmienite a co najważniejsze są prekursorami gatunku, więc trzeba mieć wypaczone mniemanie o tym gatunku by uważać je za gówniane. Koleś który nawet w sieci nie potrafi się zachować ma zapewne z 12 lat i słucha muzyki dla pokemonów. Slava

  • Hai gaiz! IS DIS WERE WE SPEAK FUNNY LANGUAGE!?

  • lol funny :)

  • Aww, I'm getting downvoted! :(

  • You should start polishing your Polish man...

  • Same gówniane kapele:D a skoro myslisz ze tylko ty znasz power to masz niezle najebane:D pozdro

  • klopsoko, jeśli wierzyć danym w twoim profilu, jesteś odemnie ponad jedenaście lat starszy; sądzę, że 11 razy głupszy i bardziej niekulturalny. Swoim poprzednim komentarzem, wyraziłem jak jest: prawie nikt w moim otoczeniu nie zna tego gatunku muzyki. Nie musiałeś mnie za to obrażać. DLA MNIE te kapele nie są "gówniane" - jeśli znasz lepsze, pochwal się.

  • Przez przypadek odpisałem na twój komentarz z profilu mijego brata, który zapomniał się wylogować. Mam na mysli wypowiedź użytkownika "Blu1410"

  • Woooow! To w Polsce ktoś oprócz mnie zna power metal?! Jestem mile zaskoczony. Bo jak dotąd myślałem, że oprócz mnie (i może kumpla z klasy) nikt w promieniu kilkuset km nie zna tego gatunku. To od razu polecam zespoły, których być moze nie znacie, a są warte uwagi: Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody of Fire, Nostradameus i... moim zdaniem najlepszy band - CELESTY (album Reign of Elements jest mistrzowski)

  • ULTRAVOX's one is better

  • uwielbiam wszystkie ich utwory

  • Tobi wymiata!! Edguy & Avantasia rządzi!!

  • Uwielbiam Edguy'a

  • Awsome cover , I wish they had more songs like this

  • yo you better look up on your history mate its a cover:P look up Ultravox - Hymn and you will see the original

  • does someone in here speak english?...i don't unnderstand what the hell you're talking 'bout... anyway edguy kick ass!!!

  • ich weiß nich aber iwie kann ich dem lied nichts abgewinnen ...powermetal generell iwie nich

  • powermetal kann ich auch nichts abgewinnen,aber das Lied geht ab
