Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

[doitubonbaa152]

3:50からのとこドラえもんエターナルで使われてなかったっけ­かｗｗｗ

[tarataris087]

the black man is another name for the devil according to puritans

[tarataris087]

omg bag pipes

[MathieuCollin14]

At 3:50, Ican imagine Roland dancing at the concert of the village :D

[LightningAndHarold]

at 2:58...did he say 'raping the black man'?

[skwurlywrath]

@LightningAndHarold He said "I'm following the black man". He's following a man dressed in black. He's following Death.

[Legionbass19]

@skwurlywrath Not really Death. He's following Walter O' Dim, the antagonist of the first Dark Tower book.

[skwurlywrath]

@Legionbass19 Interesting. It's been a really long time since I've read the Dark Tower series. I'll have to go back and read them again.

[edgarocker128]

QUE PODERR !!!!!! ESTO ES POWER METAL

[sailorpsycho]

heavy metal meets thrash.... and then real power metal is born!!!!

[ShadeStar64]

You know you've found something unique when a metal song has a bagpipes solo in the middle.

[Cortexcze]

Roland Deschain is legend and so is Blind Guardian

[nofvrael]

All hail Roland Deschain from Gilead, the last gunslinger

[cacharritoman]

@nofvrael And hail Eddie Cantor Dean from NY. The Mono-destroyer.

[MrStaghare]

@nofvrael More correctly, All hile Roland Deschain of Gilead, last of the line of Eld.

[PentagramPrayer666]

I will never forget the first time when I was listening to this song the first time when i did not knowing the structures of it. It was suprising. But after a couple of years it is just brilliant. ....That is the very best I can say for any song.

[RyuBlade1980]

Ha, that's great! Lots of bands thrown in the discussion and no flame war. Nice! I'd say add "Torian" to the list.

[viktor5087]

Metal-the Best!!!!!

[Ookopturcem]

6:50 - 7:33 is AWESOME

[OpenTv1998]

@Ookopturcem Are you dumb 0:00 - 7:33 is awesome.

[TheMetalCrusade]

At 3:50 I was like "Duh, bagpipe metal? This could be... the most epicest invention of all time!"

[GodofCider]

I honestly was not expecting the bag pipe skit in the middle; but I can hardly call it a poor addition.

[ironballs16]

Rocking out, and then at 3:50... bagpipes. EPIC bagpipes!

[Matscheibenassasine]

there are 9 peoples with problems!!!!

[ThePainfulStorm]

@Matscheibenassasine i dont like people who always say crap like : 9 people got anus cheese!!! or something like that. Its just stupid.

[Wint3rmad]

Every single band i know that play since at least 10 years did a mediocre / not really good album, but Blind Guardian not, they are so awesome, every single album is great , since 80 until 2010.

[AngdaMang95]

I like all of their songs :)

[Ghouleon]

This song must be about the Dark Tower series by stephen king correct?

[TheBloodyMassacre1]

This is some awesome Power Metal!!

[19Flagg19]

I don't know why, but I REALLY like the part between 0:00 and 7:33. . .

[TheCrower666]

@19Flagg19 and I hate the part at 7:34...

[MrThomasfs]

to all the people who dislikes this song... BLASFEMIC!!!!!!! YOU ARE GOING AGAINST THIS MASTERPIECE OF A BAND AND SONG!!!!!!!!! and because of that we have to crusify you... YAY

[Happydude256]

@MrThomasfs This is an amazing song, but you're giving Blind Guardian fans in general a bad name. If someone doesn't like this song, then they can just take their terrible taste elsewhere. What does intolerance accomplish?

[MrThomasfs]

@Happydude256 well, i was kinda sarcastic you know? i mean why the hell should i crusify someone for not liking a song? i know i should have written it in another way but still...

[chibimidget]

god i love Hansi's voice xD

[Tonicxz]

1:41-2:01 = EPIC!!

[TheAmeader]

ICed Earth, hammerfall, Blind Gaurdian, Dream Evil and white wizzard should all tour who agrees?



[TheArkayn]

@TheAmeader Add Gamma Ray and remove white wizzard and I agree entirely.

[JosePablo24]

@TheAmeader Blind Guardian coming to my country this year >=D fuck yeah

[TheAmeader]

@JosePablo24 Damn it! i missed them when they were here in iowa anyways do you got the tickets yet?

[JosePablo24]

@TheAmeader They havent yet officially confirmed the tour, so i cant buy the ticket, but i will ASAP

im already used to bands confirming my country at last, hahaha, just like rhapsody did

[TheAmeader]

@JosePablo24 hahaha yeah anyways when they confirm enjoy bro

[JosePablo24]

@TheAmeader ty

[olivemitten]

@TheAmeader The money to be made ._.

[TheAmeader]

@olivemitten yes i agree

[Guyverhoeven]

@TheAmeader I could add lots of similair or better bands to that in those genres.

But Iced Earth and Blind Guardian alone would already be pretty fucking awesome.

[TheAmeader]

@Guyverhoeven ok like which ones?



[Guyverhoeven]

@TheAmeader Grand Magus,Holy Grail,Skull Fist,Enforcer,Bullet,Wolf,Caul­dron if your into the heavy metal type like White Wizzard.

Grave Digger,Primal fear,Persuader,Gamma Ray, maybe Pyramaze if your into the power metal type.

Its just ecxept for Iced Earth and Blind Guardian those other bands didnt really held much in common so im curious why you would specificly say those 3.

[TheAmeader]

@Guyverhoeven ah i know all of them except wolf, they are pretty good

[demonholocaust101]

@TheAmeader as long as ICED EARTH headlines!!!! opener will be Dream evil, followed by White wizzard, Hammerfall, then BLIND GAURDIAN!

[TheAmeader]

@demonholocaust101 Good man! or Woman!

[demonholocaust101]

@TheAmeader Im a man....a MANLY man! \,,/

[TheAmeader]

@demonholocaust101  ah, Good man then!

[NiggeliNG]

@TheAmeader exept for hammerfall yes

[iwasnothere97]

@TheAmeader I disagree. I'd would rather keep my brains in my head, and my face on my face.

[sifnio95]

@TheAmeader what about stratovarious? :D

[RafaGeass]

@TheAmeader All of them are Speed/Power or it's just coincidence? xD

I simply prefer speed/power than symphonic/power

[TheAmeader]

@RafaGeass same alsio powermwtal\speed is my fav tyoe :)

[Legionbass19]

@TheAmeader Hansi and Jon should pull double duty and add Demons and Wizards to that!

[TheAmeader]

@Legionbass19 sounds awsome

[Spulegence]

@TheAmeader With Maiden?

[TheAmeader]

@TheAmeader Nope Preist maiden and Manowar get their own show

[vampxblade]

@TheAmeader Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Symphony X, and Manowar = BEST METAL SHOW EVER!

[TheAmeader]

@vampxblade sure

[ImLearning2Live]

@TheAmeader Blind Guardian should come to the states, regardless. :(

[TheAmeader]

@ImLearning2Live yes they were here in iowa last year

[2eachHisownMusic]

Omg this song makes me wanna set my naked body on fire and run into the white house firing a mini-gun at all living things i see.

[TheAmeader]

@2eachHisownMusic WHAT? D oyou do crack while listening to this? NO disrespect meant, thats just. realy strange

[blaxpidey]

Oh man, I'm reading The Drawing of Three right now and this is kick ass.

[dragooon889]

This band makes me want to take my pants off, I have no idea why though.

[B1GH0RSE]

@dragooon889 That might be the most metal thing I've heard in a long time..lmao

[steveharrisism]

my prefrite song of this album

[qjtemikureca]

cool

[irondeth33]

an absolute masterpiece. Somewhere far Beyond is not only the best BG album, I consider it one of the greatest power metal albums of all time if not the best...

[Ascyltos]

Hansi is God and that is the truth.

[slimininin]

wow this is gayer than justin bieber, learn to like a real band like manowar

[Misieq]

@slimininin hahah, Manowar is the band that used to perform with naked chests, wearing only lether pants. Not that I have something against their music though :d

[redbugsblood]

@slimininin lol...someone be trolling

[07hg1]

blind guardian best band ever

[HeartofTheWarrior555]

Probably my favorite Blind Guardian song! The album Somewhere far Beyond is probably my favorite album from them as well! BG is truly the king of Speed Metal.

[VikingRocker150]

aaaaahhh k pinches canciones perronas

[AvengerOfSuns]

dude this is a fucking poem!!! can these guys get any more epic?

[Zacrowsky]

Half of you probably don't even know what this song is talking about...

[thewizard747]

@Zacrowsky It's about The Dark Tower by Stephen King. The dark Tower series are the best novels ever, and the song goes with it. All hail Stephen King, and Blind Guardian.

[hooplaboi]

@Zacrowsky  and why does that matter? its sung by an incredible and flawless band that brings joy, power, and a sense of adventure to all who hear its melodies; and thats good enough for me

[TheYourfaceable]

@Zacrowsky Not really and I don't care because this song is too awesome. :D I mean it would probably make it even more epic if I did know.

[Garpalt]

Metal gives me life force.

[TheScreamformetal]

@Garpalt well said... why kind of lifeless person would i be without metal...

[Snyperwolf91]

@Garpalt dont overdo it or then is the hulk real. =P

[ChainsawGutsFuck]

All I ask is that when i'm on my death bed, an old man days away from death, that my then-family will bring me a CD player, and every Blind Guardian album - and i'll listen to them all from start to end before death snatches me away.

This... is how all life should end.

P.S. I'm actually planning to do this when the time comes, the rest of you make preparations! Stick it in your will!

[Oswulf1]

@ChainsawGutsFuck Hope you wake up in Asgard and find them playing there live.

[666bjindra]

@ChainsawGutsFuck

Actually i was planning the same thing. Im just afraid i wont die on lets say nightfall or night at the opera cause i really wana hear Valkyries one more time :)

[hapykiller999]

real old school metal damn the old days were the best when music was something that went straight into your soul most kids today think they know what music is but the rality is but they have no idea no sense of rhythm cuz crap and hip hop are the same METAL AND ROCK 4 EVER

[Headstonedrummer]

sometimes i miss the old times....

[Acidic7Alkaline]

I started reading the Dark Tower series because of this song and I love the books as much as i love this song.

[TheDrowww]

@Acidic7Alkaline

Then you should listen the "Touched by the Crimson King" album from Demons & Wizards (you know, Hansi is the singer). The whole album is about the Dark Tower series (err, except 2-3 songs), and f*cking good! Have fun! :)

[boneclub24]

I love when they start into Glory Glory Hallelujah!

[watermelonpudding78]

I love their song 'The Bard's Song'.

[helge1975]

still EPIC....good old times....

[ZyklnAeon]

The last choir fucking froze my whole spine

[BragisSkald]

hobbit metal ehh? i'd listen, frodo would have to grow that hair out to get that full headbanging feel

[COLEleslieISgreasy]

@BragisSkald Your a retard, he's is saying that B.G has a bunch of songs about LoTR, and a cd title...Idiot.

[BragisSkald]

@COLEleslieISgreasy k man take it easy, i was just saying hobbit metal would be awesome, thanks for nothing dream crusher...Idiot

[Oswulf1]

@BragisSkald I expect by the time he got to the Cracks of Doom, his hair was as long as any headbanger's.

[acejesse13]

Somewhere Far Beyond has ,without a doubt, the coolest Blind Guardian album cover..and there's a lot of good ones to choose from.

[BragisSkald]

@acejesse13  so true, this is one of my favorite albums of theirs hopefully the new one will be just as good

[DerDanh]

music of victims, lol.

[Gundoldingen]

Probably the best song in the history of music...

[gustavo5334]

ahahacucutarararurugigogkduduc­ycy

[drogmaa]

Great song, played lead guitar for it in music today for performance, mad fun to play!

[RLUCAS]

this song is aweosome but bright eyes is way better xDD blind guardian \../

[irondeth33]

@RLUCAS bright eyes is not even close to this one.. this is the BG masterpiece

[TROOPERofUSA]

Imagine ALL OF THE SHIRE listening to this fucking song of greatness and their reaction to it! I cant stop laughing! Hobbit Metal! Headbanging hobbits omg I crying of laughter!

[xxAtlantianKnightxx]

Super awesome and power epic!!!

[wololoadidas]

This EPIC song it's about the two first parts of the Dark Tower by Stephen King , the most epic way to print lyrics about an epic novel, that's something that only Hansi can archive, Blind Guardian, FUCKING EPIC.

\m/

[Sygorian]

Epic in every way,pure essence of power metal.

[Metalbat92]

i love this song!

[Zikaver]

I wish i would have known about them sooner because they are the best power/progressive metal band out there. And will ever be

[IcedPhoenix666]

This could easily pass as new Blind Guardian.... and still be awesome!

[ThePaul1011]

Ja Mann das rockt!

[N4GMetal]

Wow.

You look at music that way huh?

Keep a sock on your door next time will ya?

[otreblA1993]

lol XDDD

[ArcaneXIII2]

Guardian, meaning of epic...

[lalaworldofwarcraft1]

@ArcaneXIII2 ._.

[skaman3000]

@ArcaneXIII2 hahahah

[davemurray16]

@ArcaneXIII2

0:23 he too came :D

[HeartofTheWarrior555]

EPICNESS!!!!!!!

[ihab1000]

i came from far!!!

[LovlyBabe8876]

Geilster Song von Blind Guardian überhaupt...wäre total geil wenn sie heute auch mal wieder in diese Richtung gehen würden

[wilhelmspw]

Valhalla live is absolute spitze,der song hier klingt mir zu sehr nach iron maiden

[1787dude]

FUCKBAALLSSSSSS

[taxidriver2000]

Minut 3:51 perfect!!

[loyis7]

Try listening to Somewhere Far beyond while playing LOTRO (The Lord Of The Rings On Line) at the same time. It ROCKS !!!

:))

[koban45]

コノキョクデ、blind guardian ニハマリマシタ！！

[1787dude]

trolls are fuckin awesome

[Liedis89]

3:50 - 4:11 was simple EPIC

bag pipes FTW

[Ishykawa]

The amazing thing about this band is that they get better and better every album, they never lost there talent, Its incredible.

[1787dude]

balls

[NicKeyboard]

WoW Good song for Blind Guardian

[sl1963]

Amazing song, if you don't like it, you're not gonna like Blind Guardian. Stick to your own stuff, and go bother someone else.

[xXBCARLXx]

yeah. trolls = luzas

[1787dude]

trolls are cool

[Staminalis]

Trolls RULE!! :)

[xlostxmemoryx01x]

@sl1963

 I think people already understand how it works.

[PennyDreadful1]

@sl1963 They dont exactly sound like this on Nightfall for example. With the power strumming I mean

[lalaworldofwarcraft1]

@sl1963 shhhh if they dont like this they may like battlefield you need to be shot if you dont like that song

[DFORCEAMAZING]

Old BG is better than new BG in my opinion. I like their pre-A Night at the Opera stuff much more. The new stuff is still good though.

[greekrapper]

just when i hear them my spine gets the chills...they are awesome..listening to hiphop myself and blind guardian...iron maiden blind guardian firewind rhapsody...just fckin awesome,,,proub to be a hiphop-metalhead:P

[hobodoctor]

I've been a metalhead for a long time but You come to notice that a lot of metal heads listen to some hip-hop. Personally I like early 90's NWA/Wu-Tang/Ice Cube/Dre stuff. Hahaha.

[greekrapper]

haha same with me with blind guardian:Phave all cd's have sacred 2 and enjoying the new song also:)

[cergeantbeanie]

now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about... I think you might avoid some confusion if you just came straight out and called it by it's modern/mainstream seratting title... GANCSTA' RAP! or classic L.A. jams, West Side jams, etc....

[hobodoctor]

Haha, fuck yeah.

[Sven1988fromHUN]

lol

I think those two genres are too different.Like,when you drink a coupple cola,and a coupple of good Ouzo:)

[cergeantbeanie]

they thumb you down because you're open minded...? well, that depends on what type of hip-hop you're talkin' about... and Iron Maiden seems like quite the black sheep in that herd, don't you think...?

[sneasalmaster]

@cergeantbeanie I'd call Iron Maiden early power metal. Helloween, the first pure power metal band, were inspired by them. Not only that, the two sound somewhat alike as well.

[Mandragon84]

Einfach nur genial die Musik

[cergeantbeanie]

I don't mean this as an insult but these guys seem WAY too mediocre for their reputation... especiall their vocalist... I honestly think they'd be better without him... he sounds too weak...

[Metalwurst666]

hansi kürsch weak? blasphemy!!!

[vett3l0l]

its the song really, listen to another stranger me for example

[DFORCEAMAZING]

That is crazy that you say that, but try and listen to their newest albums "A Twist in the Myth" and "A Night at the Opera". You probably would like those more, because Hansi's vocal style is a little different.

[dhysbvj]

i think its more than a little different.

[dhysbvj]

this is their transition album where the vocalist start to gain his reputation and since the band's music is build around the vocals the music start to change too.

[Kittee23]

WTF!

[cergeantbeanie]

hahaha... been getting quite a bit of replies since, but I still haven't gotten around to listening to more Blind Guardian... you guys keep making their reputation more obvious, and I don't want to judge before impression, but sorry... I know this is supposed to be Melodic Metal or whatever, but (atleast in this song) it just comes along as cheesy and weak... whether I end up liking this band or not, I don't ever see me changing my mind about this song in particular...

[lt53666]

cergeantbeanie, go listen to Pantera or something and stfu!
