As a citizen of the USA, I really appreciate that you did this Q&A in English. I was afraid when I clicked on the video that it would be in German XD thanks a ton and keep on being the awesomest! :D
All the songs from "A Night At The Opera" are wonderfull and great masterpiece from Blind Guardian releases! my favorites of them: Punishment Divine, Under The Ice, Wait For An Answer, The Soulforged, Battlefield and over all the great Epic Masterpiece called And Then There Was Silence... I listen this complete album all the times that I can...Long Live for Blind Guardian and the Heavy Power Metal...!!!
And "A Night Of The Opera"(2002) it seems to me one of the best albums of BG, was the last studio album made with Thomen on the drum and for me Thomen put his heart and soul to do this one of the best album in their career, it's a pity that he's not in BG and so the life goes on for each one, Frederik is a great drummer, Frederik occupy the seat of Thomen and this mean too much for us like BG's fans, and the "Imaginations Through The Looking Glass"(2004) DVD Live was the end of a Era with Thomen
Well...without words jejeje but this is very great to know about Blind Guardian band and first with themselves: Hansi, André, Marcus and Frederik, less Thomen that was the original member of the band, but well, these videos are good to know more about all around them and specially thier music, the old discs, about some of the new direction they will take in the future in the next albums, all is wonderfull. I hope that the next albums be in the old school Heavy Power Metal with new sounds!
Good to know the 70k tons of Metal was remarkable for them too, because for me, it was absolutely UNFORGETABLE!!! And I have no shame to admit, I cried like hell, as well as sang the songs on both show on-board. But the best was to be able to talk with them and take pictures and watch other shows just beside them. Awesome!!! GUARDIAN RUUUUUULEEEEEESSSS!!!!
@AquartesTheGray Then I should say, the 'Imaginations..." album is one of their most important releases. But I think the album is better than the first one of BG. However, which song we like most is not important; whe should know them all.
@gazbg123 They will also re-record The Bard's Song (In The Forest)- they announced it about a week or two ago. You can listen to a preview of this re-recorded song on their official page.
@HarryZKresuZ9 That's what i was thinking but it says orchestral version so i was leaning more towards the new orchestral album, you know as a bonus track or something.
honestly the thing with these guys is virtually any setlist they come up with is flawless because every album/song is beyond godlike, so even Lammoth/ Minstrel/ Nom The Wise/ Dark Elf/ The steadfast would be a viable playlist.
Imaginations through the Looking Glass Part 2 with lots of tons of Metal would be so fuckin´great.One evening pure Blind Guardian,second evening with a big Orchester and on the last evening they have to play a lot of Cover Songs from the long History of Heavy-Metal.
@666Azaron ach was, haut doch hin ... hör dir mal den angelripper an xD ... abgesehn davon: so lang die mukke fetzt, ist doch sowieso alles super nu? :D
Making a web TV series like this shows just how much they truly love and respect their fans. It is very rare to see such an incredibly talented and influential band, with the level of worldwide prestige that Blind Guardian has obtained, still be so humble and appreciative when addressing their followers. Long live the Bards!
The Bard's Song is my favourite.. Me and my boyfriend sing along to it when we are driving in the car.. and we don't care about people's looks and stares.. BLIND GUARDIAN ARE EPIC
@reptileman262 I remember them playing 'Turn the Page' on Knock-Out-Festival not even a month ago. So you might want to check them out rather sooner than later ;) .
Hansi sounds like he's either very tired or getting sick. In either case, this video is just that much more valuable considering what he went through to bring it to us.
Long live the Bards, and may their songs echo through the ages.
@StrikerTheLizard It's really no problem for them to do the interviews in English and then people don't have to worry about reading subtitles. Also the translations might not be the best so it is best to stick with English.
0 negative votes that means something !!!
