Blind Guardian - The Bard's Song (In The Forest & The Hobbit)

[linpost]

prefer the studio or 2012 version of this song

[darkwattie227]

i wish i was back in the days were sword met sorcery.....i would give my left nut to be back in the old day before mans rise to power...when elves, dwarves, dragons and all th other mystical beings of a forgotten time tred

[Dougaloon]

@darkwattie227 And men fought honorably with blades instead of cowardly machines that fire projectiles.

[darkwattie227]

@Dougaloon indeed........back into a time of honor

[AWOLlove]

3 people can't see the hobbits, dwarves, and man, and elves.

[juankillian]

hermoso

[GIwillo]

goosebumps and stuff.blind guardian touches! oh man... :)

[MetaI4Brains]

Why does this sound so much different compared to the The Bard's Song (Studio)?

[coerce86]

@MetaI4Brains it's not much different, first half of the song is the same as the studio one, whoever made this video put the track afterwards along with the first half of the bards song (though it's completely different) hence why it changes halfway through

[MetaI4Brains]

@coerce86

I know that this is two different songs put together, I was wondering why this version of The Bard's Song sounds so different than the one I've been listening to.

[coerce86]

@MetaI4Brains it's not much different to the studio one, no overlayed/backing vocals and the guitar is less prominent than the studio one (personally I think the live one is probably the best and most iconic BG song ever)

[MetaI4Brains]

@coerce86

Maybe it's just me, but in this version, Hansi's voice doesn't seem as deep and it kind of sounds like he has a lisp.

[SandfriesFTWLOL]

Simply beautiful.

[BruceBeast]

ooh eine akustische Kitschballade... :-)

[GuardianOfDream]

I want these songs in the film The Hobbit!

[mullent169]

this song has inspired a very important character in my novel. :D

[mullent169]

:') i cry out of awesomeness when i hear this.

[shaamat00]

why the movies of lord of rings dont use blind guardian in their soundtrack? it would be 400% more epic

[Zodiacrin]

@shaamat00 It seems you've made an error. I believe you mean %4,000,000 more epic? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[jpp16PL]

@shaamat00 Yes I'm also on your side, but I can't imagine The Middle-Earth from era where is power metal. Probably there will be classic music, but I hope the movie will show more truth from the book, than director's fiction... Like in movie The Lord of the Rongs... 25% is true, 50% is directorąs fiction and 25% is true but in different situations...

[ThyKillerKira]

I really want than BG is in The Hobbit Soundtrack, I really hope that

[reptilelyall]

GREAT! now i feel like slaying a dragon! off to my X's!!!!!

[doktorsteiner]

thorin will not clear his mind...

[JackNapierVlog]

3 people are from Mordor

[deternum]

Sauron didn't like it...

[takanodono]

This a total Epic song

[DiegoDuese]

Great !

[Zambini845]

One person couldn't get over the fact that he can't simply walk into Mordor

[ShadowLaguna]

1 user lacks a soul.

[Gundoldingen]

Gollum shows 1 user the wrong way...

[Kirasharit]

I love songs of Blind Guardian. It's have a "power". I love that music, words and.... i love it, LOVE!

Thank you Blind Guardian :*

[TheAmeader]

Who agrees Iced Earth, White Wizzard, Blind Gaurdian, Dream Evil and HAmmerfall should tour together?

[Poisonseed]

@TheAmeader

Remove those other guys, leave Blind Guardian and you got a perfect tour setup.

[TheAmeader]

@Poisonseed YOumean you dont want to see all of them play together?

[PennyDreadful1]

@Poisonseed (Gasp) Even Iced Earth?

[ShadowLaguna]

@TheAmeader Fuck yes!

[TheAmeader]

@ShadowLaguna Ah good man!

[tistonvodka]

we need to ask Peter Jackson to put the song in the film^^

[TheAmeader]

this up there on epic scale

[Georgeyguymanperson]

@PennyDreadful1 Okay, I'm sorry, but i have to ask. What's a urine corpse? Is it a corpse covered in urine? o.o

[PennyDreadful1]

@Georgeyguymanperson Ohh! urine and corpseS* sry.

[WolfgangWhiplash]

@PennyDreadful1 This song is loosely based on another realm, other than our own. Blind Guardian songs is about fantasy, not history.

[Neueregel]

great song!!

[perpetual61]

There's nothing like Blind Guardian & This Version of Bard's Song to get through the day.

[paul44miles]

A very beautiful song from Blind Guardian. Great song from the Somewhere Far Beyond Album.

[JamalBojangles]

he says his "S's" like a fruitcake

[dragontamez]

@JamalBojangles i think the way he says it is fine, queens lead singer was( if you are referring to "fruitcake" as homosexual) a homosexual, and he is one of the best singers in musical history. just enjoy the music, dont steriotype everything the way you did.

Rock on! nice video

[JamalBojangles]

@dragontamez nothin against him, he just seems to put a lot of emphasis on his s's

[TheShadowOfNidhoeggr]

Who brings shame into this discussion by mentioning Hammerfall? Execute that heretic!

[FELIPEPKPK]

\,,,/ my second favorite band

iron maiden is first

Blind Guardian is perfect

[TheScreamformetal]

in my thought and in my dreams, there always in my mind.. these songs of hobbits dwarves and men and elvs come close you eyes... you can see them too... \m/ and hell yeah, i can see them... 

[InExfabi666]

EPIC!!!

[kaymanklynman]

[feverdude]

sweeeeeeet

[motleyrulez]

The second part (the hobbyt) it's the most exciting song i've ever heard!!!Blind Guardian Rulez!!Frever and Ever!!!Thank you!!!

[Fabio1349]

seven perfect minutes.

[Northorseman]

Hammerfall? No.

[elidon23]

One of their best songs.

[sobeto28]

Wow man, this band is epic, my top thre favorite bands, Sonata arctica, Dream Theater and blind guardian, man ... someone please recommend me more bands like these ones

[seafrome]

Opeth... its not excactly like them but their songs are aswome... listen to Face Of Melinda ... Windowpane and to more brutal voices Ghost of Perdition

[AguristoKefali]

@sobeto28 Savatage ;)

[Asteronoiks]

@sobeto28 Rhapsody of Fire rocks. Try Helloween, too.

[FelipeHermod]

@Asteronoiks Rhapsody of "Flower" is gay. In one album, they're holding their swords, crossing them. Look for the positions of the guys.. It's so... Justin Bieber.

[TheParanormalEntity]

@sobeto28 EDGUY!!!!! Listen to Edguy!!!

[guyaneserocker12]

@sobeto28  persuader

[ZuZaarr]

@sobeto28 Epica, Therion, Avantasia, granted I might be a little late by now

[darkerfate8]

@sobeto28 wintersun, Celesty, elvenking, and some of ensiferum

[zerbo803]

Blind guardian = Epic Win!

[TheHunterOrion]

I think i'll read the hobbit again....

awsome music

Blind Guardian Rulezzz

[mathcurse]

Hell yeah!

[AxelGunsRoses]

Blind guardian are the BEST

[ethickca]

i hope they use this in the movie when they make it but i admit im kindda worried to hear that it will be made into two movies

[latinsnake90]

Blind Guardian and J.R.R. Tolkien = The Best Musics

[surobakianinpo]

they should make song off the original hobbit poem - far over the misty mountains cold.

that'd be awsome:D

[ethickca]

i know! im allways humming it!

[ironguy90]

One of best song ever.

[ethickca]

man i luv both of these songs, the secound one is so close to the book it sends shivers up my spine! the hobbit is one of my fave songs so it is nice to see it in song form! asome band!

[wetterization]

boar alter beim ersten ton bekomm ich schon solche gänsehaut!!!!!!!!!! das is metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThrashMetalGuy]

i love this band for 7 years and i'd love to see blind guardian doing an album of thier best songs in an orchestra that'll be so awesome

[djsutt1980]

I didn't know about these guys until I purchased the game, "Sacred 2 : Fallen Angel", and I must say I really love their music. Too bad I heard of them a decade or two too late. Great Music!!

[ruffles9696]

I'll never get tired of those BG songs.

Been listening to them since 15 years, they still sound as new as ever.

Can't wait for another album.

[afreakinrpggamer]

I just fell in love wit hthis band.

Best.

Song.

Ever.

[ricgoosens]

go look at the new version they have of this song.

[shawnl91]

[GustavoVassago]

[Hej12366]

[katrewhim]

[leste0]

[sl1963]

This is two songs. Both brilliant. Still prefer 'The Lord of the Rings' Orchestral version though

[Happysin]

My office mate and I think this song is awesome in every way. Bravo!

[KodiakDipper92]

[greekHopliteYo]

auta einai

[LiiKeXLoVE]

ein wort: fantastisch

[MadcapMan]

NOOOW YOU ALL KNOOOOOOW

[RogueTerenasEU]

The bard's and their songs

[jalfcat]

awesome

[ibtsv]

I love how they did the riff at 5:13

[frankjones11]

haha i love how in the end it just fades to the blind guardian logo with the soft accostic ending wow that is magic!!

[Northorseman]

Wow, I thought the exact same! That deserves a thumbsup!

[ThorinVIII]

Wery Good

[DRoot21]

these song are the greatest songs... just plain awesome.

[lalibertedan]

I love that song and i love blind guardian

[ZurisWinternacht]

very nice song ;)

what is that picture round 4:20 ?

[panosc2]

It's a model of a usual medieval town.

[PennyDreadful1]

@panosc2 Where is the shit stained walls and urine corpse and stuff? You know the middle ages were not exactly merry idyllic times. They were ugly. It was a downstep from the ancient roman times that came before really.

[Northorseman]

@PennyDreadful1 Who, other than Cannibal Corpse, could make songs about such dread? There's no way you can make it beautiful, no way it can ever turn out like Blind Guardian's The Bard's Song ...

And the Middle Ages weren't ONLY ugly. But, you're somewhat right; there's so many romantic views on the periode (Robin Hood, Ivanhoe etc.), on which many artists would rather base their songs, that on pest-rotten corpses ...

But what we're listening to right now isn't Middle Ages, but fantasy :)

[PennyDreadful1]

@Northorseman Indeed it is fantasy. And the middle ages might not have been that bad. Not before the black plague anyway.

[green6poop]

@ZurisWinternacht its the game wheres waldo medieval version

[trjordan]

@green6poop is this really a game? Where can I get it? I want it!

[green6poop]

@trjordan lol i hope you know i was joking

[DejWoSWK]

@ZurisWinternacht

Medieval Waldo...;)

[baltazrinho]

maGic

[Savithebest93]

[misanthrope3666]

very very amazing song, i just adore it :)

[winterlord21]

Ye, epic its the right word to describe it

[winterlord21]

Both great songs

[ildiodelmetallo]

One of their best. Amazing song...

[TheBob777]

And that's saying a lot for Blind Guardian. I like The Hobbit as much as In The Forest.

[agahuma]

[washbender95]

epic.
