Blind Guardian - Welcome to Dying Live at Rock Hard '92

[Krrrimmi]

EUROPEAN METAL RULEZ!!! \m/ \m/

[Deetroiter]

One thing I've always admired about Euro metal crowds is how true they are to the music and lifestyle. Jean jackets with patches, big hair and REAL heavy metal music.

[Loevin]

good times...

[DestroyerGreat]

götz kühnemund with long hair :D great

[maidenfuckingrule]

kick ass video!!!!welcome to dying is so kick ass...i am seeing them in 2 days here in greece can't fucking wait!

[Luisdanyiel]

haha andi was laughting cause hansi fall at solo

[bloodyz16x24]

LOL yes i saw that!!!! it is at 2:50

poor Hansi :P

[PowerMetalBeast]

Holy christ that's insane headbanging. Blind Guardian had ALOT more energy on the stage back at that time. It's weird seeing this...when this was recorded, I was like...what, 6 or 7? I didn't get into them till I was about 15...makes me sad I missed out for 14 years of my life.

[PowerMetalBeast]

Uhhhh...to add to my own comment, I just noticed it was from '92, not '96, XDD. Still, the same point.

[MastersCall]

Hansi sings just as good here, while playing the bass, as he does nowadays. Maybe even better! Genius!

[Twilightsire]

This was at the time when Power Metal could actually be called Metal and belong to Heavy Metal....

Gruffy and ballsy vocals with real big heavy guitars!

The band also seemed to actually enjoy playing live back then

[tutonevermind]

hansi should have kept on playing bass live

instead of standing still with the microphone like he does now

which is quite boring

but what the fuck his voice is fucking true!!

[AxesOfDawn]

Awesome BG rocking Jacksons.

[ihab1000]

this could be the best powermetal band there ever was! \m/

[ollehippe99]

Great Song!!

[gumblebroo]

they had much more power than nowadays :)

[kompi93]

They have mellowed abit out and they play more progressive and symphonic metal now. But i don't mind!

[Forbiddenevil1986]

Did Hansi fall at 2:52? haha! Still a GREAT fucking performance! BLIND GUARDIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sampaiocadu]

@Forbiddenevil1986 god never fails

[rockmetal1989]

blind guardan are simply the best !!!! in this video bg seems like a thrash metal band theyr look too

[ramy2702]

Indeed, ur right.

[RZS37]

keep the flame of metal forever burning!!!

cabrones!!! muert al pinche regeton ogt

[hectallica]

this is so shit hot! love this song, be interesting to hear metallica cover this? fantastic track!

[JaJaJaRadio]

Hansi is playing on the BASS wild !!!!!

[C4RLO5KY]

superb song

[mcleodian]

16 years ago and they still are one of the best metal bands in the world, really nice to see this footage,

keep the flame of metal forever burning!!!

\m/

[FarBeyond91]

The best metal band of the world!!!!

Blind Guardian rules forever!!!

[onta41]

what kinda bass is hansi playing?

[ALkAi0s]

heavy!

[VictimofAtkins]

looks like an ibanez, I'm not too sure though.

[Kayanan23]

Think it's an old soundgear

[vwsmephisto18]

@Kayanan23 i got a new soundgear and i love it they sound so great

[LPH69]

no Nightfall in Middle earth than Mr Asgardmetal11?

[Asgardmetal11]

its ok, not as good as battalions of fear or follow the blind. i just cant stand bands like freedom call who call themselves power metal!

[Asgardmetal11]

This was back when power metal was GOOD. I think that if Blind guardian had stayed like this, there wouldnt be so many gay sounding power metal bands today. Traditional power metal is the only real power metal imo.

[matias7anriquez]

wow

its true bg was kind od trash

miss that

but the new album still good

and hansi on the bass

i really dont know that

[ForVictoryWeRide]

lol it's funny that Blind Guardian used to be pretty thrash. They're still good, but they should have kept the power/thrash thing goin

[iagoliimatainen]

is funny to see them here jaja their looks were very different...and the equipment also...anyway they kick ass in here as they do now a days

[redtommi]

Blind Guardian FOREVER!!!

[ippusor]

THRASHY!!! (y)

[Vargrocks]

It's funny to see how different they look as opposed to now. I'm so used to seeing Marcus with a Les Paul and Andre with that cool red guitar he has.

[carecacha]

ke wenos son estos desgraciaos

[XBIGGER]

These guys rocks! POWER POWER POWER!

[capone00]

I was on this festival in 1992! I was 17 at this time.

Kreator an Obituary also played there. Blind Guardian was my Favorite. I saw them many times live. Good ol' days. :)

[seresema]

grandeeee! avete notato hansi cadere durante il pezzo musicale?? dopo andrè lo vede e scoppia a ridere con lui! aahahahahhahahahahahha

[carnivorousslushee23]

wow...are they all young-looking or what. hansi is what, in his twenties here?

[Hilde83uk]

Unfortunately they are not so active on stage anymore

[Landkrappen]

Blind guardian pwns 24/7

Blind guardian > (inset everything imagineable)

[Rhapsody7]

As much as I like how ESP attempts to rip off of a Randy Rhodes I think Marcus deserves only the BEST, Jackson will always reign with the Rhodes style!

[blondeandblue]

Uh, Hansi

You do know you can play more than one note when not singing... Sigh, oh well at least he rocks at singing

[ratonconpatas]

awesome like greenmonkey said is good to see hansi playing the bass live its sad that he doesnt do that anymore but hey BLIND GUARDIAN still good as b4!

[Paoloween82]

Fantastic

[Greenmonkeydishwater]

One of the few vids where we get to see Hansi playing the bass live. Good shit....

[rokubota]

[PauloKiske]
