YOUR MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL

[TheRenzo1974]

many compliments for your gothic music. this music is my life. thank you for existing.

[BloodyNightsDagger]

such a beautiful man

[Sudatonkache]

I have to commend this man and take my hat off to him. I'm an artist, and I have been struggling to draw or paint anything fantasy. I had artists block with that genre... until I heard one of his songs. And his songs touch me on a personal level sometimes... I listened to his music when my mother passed away 4 weeks ago... and his music helped me out. He's become one of my Idols and sources of inspiration. Adrian von Ziegler, I commend you. Keep it up... you're doing great!

[MissRikkiKat]

I think I'm in love... oh, my, he's so breathtaking...

[OtakuRevolution0001]

one dislike? guess i have to kill justin beiber now. who's with me?

[FANevanescenceFAN]

@OtakuRevolution0001 I most certainly am. But by now, there are 2 dislikes. Makes me wonder who else we have to kill.... Rebecca black, perhaps?

[jezika0425]

[tseize]

Oh ! I live in the same country of a so talented man ?!

Aah... Why do I have to be from the french side of Switzerland...

[DominikVonZiegler]

@tseize Because the French part is beautiful.

[laurag333]

hottest guy ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TITKRISTRIT]

It's kind of funny for a german, like me, to try to understand you. But in some way it works for me :D

Es ist witzig, als Deutschsprecherder, zu versuchen euch/dich zu verstehen. Aber irgendwie funktioniert's :D

[longlostjuliet]

Das ist english! Xx

[longlostjuliet]

I am learning german in school and I absolutely Liebe er musik! Xxx your music is really important to me I love just to lie down and listen to your melodies while I read or even just to look back on the days events I love your music! Xxx

[KantenHammer]

Dini musig isch eifach e musikalischi bombe! Ich lieb das, das ish puri kunst.. grüess us bern.

[wolvesgrowlinghowl]

Man... and I thought Oregon was an oasis! But, then again, everywhere but the Sahara Desert is an oasis compared to where I live...

[Sylvantess]

Holy shit, you're like a TWIN of my ex. O_O

[TheVikingfighter]

Die Musik von ihm ist einfach nur geil!!

[rosemaryironwood]

Bad green screen

[AdrianvonZiegler]

@rosemaryironwood

What Green Screen?

[rosemaryironwood]

@AdrianvonZiegler That's not a green screen? Dang I'm losing skills

[AdrianvonZiegler]

@rosemaryironwood

"the filming location is in a forest near Zürich - basically right next to our home." - Video Description. ;)

[xKIMIxSILLY]

Ok i have question.... do you have someone that you think about when you are making some of your songs.... if so, who?

[AdrianvonZiegler]

@xKIMIxSILLY

If there is any Person at all of whom I think it's my Girlfriend. There are actually some Songs which wouldn't exist if I wouldn't have composed them FOR her.^^

[xKIMIxSILLY]

@AdrianvonZiegler

Thats so romantic not many men would do that for thier girlfriend! she is really lucky:D ok i have just one more and then i'll stop:) i swear.... ok here it is..... Out of every song you have made ever, what one do you like the best or can relate to the best? .... ok thats its, and thanks for answering my last question. your music is beautifull and i love it !

[AdrianvonZiegler]

@xKIMIxSILLY

A very hard Question.^^ The most personal Song is "The End", but it's not the one I like listening the most. Hmm, if I think about which Song I enjoy to listen the most it would probably be "The Candle Burns Down...", "Carpe Diem", "Sepulcrum Floris" and others, but those 3 for sure. ;)

[xKIMIxSILLY]

@AdrianvonZiegler

well thats interesting i will have to look them up. Thanks for answering my questions you seem like a very well hearted (you have a big <3) person... i looked up your page on facebook and may i say nice page. Also your girlfriend has some of the most beautifull art work i have ever seen. you both are very talented! anyways i hope your music ends up going far in the world! i wish you both much luck in everything you do .... Kimberly Marie Cherf

[GraciousIIIusion]

Zürich! Klasse! Ich wusste gar nicht, dass ihr praktisch vor meiner Nase wohnt...O_o

[DominikVonZiegler]

@GraciousIIIusion In der Zürcher Länderei treibt sich noch manch seltsamer Geist herum =D

[PessimisticMonday]

I'm baffled that more people don't know of this guy. He's a musical genius, and such an innovator.... And I don't even mind that all of his stuff is instrumental. In my opinion, and I'm sure you all would agree with me, it makes his music that much more unique and enjoyable. I applaud you, Adrian von Ziegler. I shall do all I can to tell the masses of your glorious coming.

[Austria002]

Ich hab dich vor ca. 1 Jahr hier auf YT entdeckt und bisher gefiel mir jedes deiner Stücke besser als vorherige.

Grüße aus Niederösterreich, weiter so!

[troyshereforu]

Love your music its so unique and enjoy listening to your differnet styles. Like what you said about nature and history as being a big insperation that says a lot about your charactor as an artist. I have a question??? I am into Astrology and just wanted to know your Astrology sign, without giving out your birthdate.. Just your Astrology sign. Thank you

[DominikVonZiegler]

@troyshereforu His zodiac is Capricornus.

[troyshereforu]

@DominikVonZiegler Thank you for your reply. For some reason I thought he was an Earth Sign. There are three Earth Signs in the Zodiac. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. When he said Nature was a big insperation to his music I thought he might be an Earth Sign. Can't wait to hear more of his Beautiful Music. ...... Peace from the U.S.

[MrGoth777]

this is like some ELUVEITIE SHIT :P

[cherrypoledancerxxx]

HE HAS A SEXY VOICE!!! even tho i cant understand him :P

[dragonprincess001]

[mermaid250]

[mermaid250]

[AdrianvonZiegler]

@mermaid250

I found the Love of my Life and will marry her - Carina Grimm. =)

[metaldorksforever666]

@AdrianvonZiegler A lot of people seem to think you're the love of their life too. XD

[StenooLive]

where is he from???

[DominikVonZiegler]

@StenooLive Switzerland.

[harvardsmartass]

@DominikVonZiegler why does he speak german?

[DominikVonZiegler]

@harvardsmartass In the region of Switzerland where he lives, German is the native language (actually Swiss German).

[SammyMelody]

En Schwiizer!! =O Wow, das hätti jetzt echt nit denkt^^ Denn het dschwiiz also doch no talent ;D Zerscht hani denkt, du bisch irgenden amerikaner, well jo eigentlich (nur) dia guati musik machend xD

findi aber huara geil =D

denn kannis jo uf schwiizerdütsch sega: i bin en mega grossa fan ;D suuuper musik, dia bescht wos git =D

LG Samantha =D

[melissatx75]

He has such amazing talent. Everything by ear.

[starysky17]

I love the language. I wish my family kept speaking Swiss German instead of not teaching their children it. I wish I could learn it and get into my heritage.

Despite that, I love Ziegler's music. It has so much power and soul put into it that it touches me. I am so glad he did an interview. :)

[nos0323]

I wonder what program he uses to record his keyboard and stuff, i need something liek that ><

but he is amazing <333333333333333

[DominikVonZiegler]

@nos0323 He doesn't record his keyboard. He just memorises the notes and then uses MAGIX Music Maker to digitally re-create the melody. All you need is an instrument to work on a melody, and then a software like MAGIX Music Maker to digitally re-create it.

[nos0323]

@DominikVonZiegler oohh okay thanks so much ^^

im guessing you guys are brothers? tell him such an inspiration for me, and i hope that he succeeds in going big independant.

[DominikVonZiegler]

@nos0323 You're welcome. Yes, I'm his older brother ^_^ And shall do, thank you for your support.

[nos0323]

@DominikVonZiegler thanks so much :DDD

yays one of the youtubers i admire most will get told what i wanna tell him~~

I shall gladly support him all the way <3

[inesss666gothic]

Your voice is good for metal!

[MrQueenOfHell]

Love the background, love Adrian, love his music. End

[RpOutOfTime]

I do not know why swiss-german is categorized a german language anymore. It is - de-facto - not really understandable for a common german one. Maybe the more southern-bound germans may understand the interview.

[BrunetteMuesli]

@RpOutOfTime

Ich bin an der Nordseeküste geboren und aufgewachsen und verstehe trotzdem jedes Wort ;) Er ist nur leider etwas leise.

[MusicFreak1745]

does anyone know what a djembe is ._.

[DominikVonZiegler]

@MusicFreak1745 A djembe is a type of drum originated in Africa.

[TaivasItkeeLW]

Beautiful nature...Reminds me of my favourite mountain in Serbia, Fruška Gora. Well done. :)

Keep rocking!

[Lisssly]

Schweizerdeutsch verstehe ich kaum^^

I understand what he say ;D

[pittster1967]

No singer or lyrics is perfect for your music. I can listen to the same song on three different days, and in my mind, I create 3 different stories for it, depending on my mood or current state of mind.

[Argentknight16]

I only speak spanish and english and I your lenguage is funny :P nothing wrong with it just sounds funny to me. Awesome music you have a great talent keep it up!

[AlessandraGOTH94]

amazing man and amazing songs!

[odrauding2]

[myoblivion123]

You look seriously awesome! And you're music is the most beatiful ever <3

[Gingers76]

[MissMurder1243]

[Hiobdasgrosse]

Cool dich da so sitzen zu sehen... Find ich toll wie weit du doch mitlerweile so gekommen bist. ich hoff du hast da auch weiterhin immer größeren erfolg mit.

das interview gefällt mir von den fragen auch sehr gut.

"notenblätter? nene, ich kann garkeine noten lesen, ich mach das alles so" - find ich gut :P

[biggerbu1983]

Genial! Jetzt weiß man endlich wer hinter der genialen Musik steckt... in farbe und in bunt ;)

[marsmars1993]

I like the way he get to answer the every question...the way he thinks about it before he starts speaking. seems so...lost in his world, so artistic, so dark! I'm simply speechless, applause :))

[ParadiseQuestMangaka]

Du besch de besti schwiizer ziitgenössisch musiker won ich känne!!! :D

[leedimond789]

You are very handsome Adrian ;) what language are you speaking?

[DominikVonZiegler]

@leedimond789 He speaks Swiss German.

[leedimond789]

@DominikVonZiegler I definitley heard the German, it just didn't sound like full German, that is why I was wondering, thank you :)

[SoulessApparence]

You are the MOST beautiful EVER!!! ♥
