[@TheMightyMana]

Hansi Kürsch has one of the best Vocal ranges ever.

[@Mvillano13]

The first time I listened to Blind Guardian I thought they has like 5 singers. My jaw dropped when i got yo know it was him alone

[@theamaranththeory]

I'll take "Massive Understatements" for $500, Alex.

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Blind Guardian is one of the best live bands out there, period. Seen them 4 times, and they travel with their own sound system.

[@SteamboatWilley]

This is my favourite song ever. That intro sends shivers down my spine every time.

[@haominlunlhouvum5174]

So epic!!

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Studio-wise, Blind Guardian is Queen + Iron Maiden. They do a lot of layering of vocal and guitar melodies like what Queen did, with the galloping metal like what Iron Maiden does. Plus they are somewhat unique in that they normally don't do a standard verse/chorus/verse/chorus/guitar solo style song. Lead guitarist Andre Olbrich plays lyrical guitar solos throughout the song, even while the singer is singing. You don't see many bands do that. Live, they can't replicate all the layering, but their stripped down sound is much heavier, and the band is super-tight, just excellent and well prepared musicianship.

[@KalloSkull]

Yeah, they've always been considered the "Queen of power metal" (as well as basically its innovators). Even "A Night at the Opera" is a reference to Queen's album of the same name. And yes, they're definitely worth checking out live. They never have an overly huge stage-show going on, but just the quality of performance and the amazing crowds, no matter how big or small, make them one of the greatest live bands. Though, Hansi's voice in live is starting to catch up with his age in recent years, so it's probably best to check out live stuff from, say, 10-15 years ago. He's still good, though, but he used to be arguably the best vocalist in metal. 1994-2004 he basically used to sound exactly like he did on the albums, minus the layering.

[@illumin4t152]

all what you said are the reason why blind guardian brought me into metal, was the first band i heared from that genre and i stuck to it, in the age of 12 haha

[@Evil_Peter]

This song is extremely epic in every way. The song is specifically about the seer Cassandra foreseeing the fall of Troy and trying to warn everyone, but no one listens to her (the god that gave Casandra the gift of seeing also cursed her so that no one would believe her visions because she rejected his love). Everything playing out in the lyrics is her visions (which is why the descriptions are kind of vague and poetic instead of being more direct) and when the song ends with "your handsome son is heading home" it means that the real life events are just starting with the return of prince Paris and Helena.

[@bradsteed6833]

Quick somebody go through the proper channels and request Demons and Wizards ‘Fiddler on the Green’ or ‘Down Where I Am’!

[@aftonblau2615]

Demons and wizards a fusion of iced earth and blind guardian

[@drevilrodrigues]

totally agree on both songs

[@bradsteed6833]

Drevilrodrigues Aye, Thank ya

[@Stu-Bo]

YES! Fiddler on the Green! "Just hold my hand I'll take you there" >.... Musicgasm intensifies!

[@corPAzilum]

I'm partial to Crimson King as well.

[@MajesticDemonLord]

Ah, finally - some Blind Guardian! You need to do Nightfall in Middle-Earth, the full Album! Also - where was this Fireside? I missed it :( Miss arguing with you Vin ;) Edit: Although all Blind Guardian is good - Nightfall... is a classic, Imaginations from the Other side is also a masterpiece.

[@VinAndSori]

Where you been loser

[@ayeewtasko2601]

They're on the second channel - Middle America with Vin and Sori

[@MajesticDemonLord]

@@VinAndSori Well, I'm in the middle of trying to sell my house, possibly moving cities, rolling out a major project at my company as well as preparing for the arrival of MajesticDemonBaby number 2. So, yeah - I've totally been slacking off :P

[@ArdensSedVirens1]

Meh, while I don't think Nightfall is bad I would consider Somewhere Far Beyond and Imaginations from the Other Side as Blind Guardian's best stuff without any hesitation.

[@MajesticDemonLord]

@@ArdensSedVirens1 I can definitely see why you'd say that, I think it comes down to the fact that I like the Tolkien mythos more. Plus - Curse of Feanor, Nightfall in middle Earth, When Sorrow Sang, Noldor, Mirror Mirror, Blood Tears, Thorn and the song that introduced by to BG: Into the Storm.

[@maczetamaczeta189]

I remember hearing it first like 15 years ago, thinking this is one of the most epic things I have ever heard. 15 years later it's still one of most epic songs I have ever heard :P

[@uBoBaMnupa]

Blind Guardian - Imagination From The Other Side

[@silverkyrie4714]

It's about fucking time you did Blind Guardian. Idk if you'll like this song or not, but glad you're hearing it either way

[@carleckert6794]

Blind Guardian is to Germany, as Iron Maiden is to England.

[@zaitokunhashagami6259]

i thought it was Scorpions

[@ernstvay5380]

ZaitoKun Hashagami see their live version of valhalla in imaginations through the looking glass till the end

[@jensbaumann6945]

Mit sicherheit nicht.... maiden sind groß, auch als hardcorer mochte ich maiden immer.... blind guardian war immer die mieseste, Klischee metal band die ich so kannte... aus Deutschland. Schlimm. Wenn Power metal, dann helloween grave digger oder sogar running wild^^

[@zaitokunhashagami6259]

​@@ernstvay5380 i've seen many live performances of Valhalla and The Bard's Song, but i thought the most successful German band (Scorpions) was the Iron Maiden of Germany

[@carleckert6794]

I just heard the expression once and ran with it. Thought it was funny. Is there any truth behind it? I can't say, most likely not. But, I don't know.

[@kittenblossom2794]

It's like 20 songs rolled into 1! It's crazy how intricate and diverse this is! Sooooo epic. Massive amounts of concentration is required to take this all in. But I really appreciate the metal aspects. For some reason, this sounds like if old school YES crashed into the largest choir in history, in the center of a Medieval festival on the way to Vallhalla!

[@bakaouji7336]

This song is a masterpiece.

[@andrewbrorherton6898]

Oh thank you so much The German kings one of my favorite bands. Never heard a single note from these guys until I bought the Nightfall in Middle Earth album about 20 years ago, Paid $30 because it was and import. Within 2 or 3 months I ended up buying the other 5 albums. The first two albums are thrash and speed metal. Great band!

[@vigridr7614]

If "and Then There Was Silence" wasn't such a good song I'd say it was criminal to request anything other than Mirror Mirror and/or Valhalla live for Blind Guardian. I'm just happy you guys got it done, they're such a unique and wonderful band.

[@Brombit]

Mirror Mirror is coming in March/April. Spoiler 😉

[@Krantz81MetalForever]

i agree . Could have Picked a random song from 1 of the 5 first records, and it would be bettter the this..

[@archaeorobbo]

@@Krantz81MetalForever I dont understand the dislikes this songs getting. Is it because it changes up too often and is to over the top? because thats exactly why I love it, I mean you cant fault the musicianship and lyricism is a wonderful representation of a tragic classical tale. This song demands effort to be enjoyed though but the end result is something much more vibrant and interesting. Fair enough though

[@Krantz81MetalForever]

@@archaeorobbo Not that i hate it but there are 50 better ones to choose from , and as a first time listen for them they should hav done a song from the earl era.

[@mjpmattos]

For me, Banish from Sanctuary is a better song to react

[@dovlassaturnus7805]

I am really happy for 100 thousand subs! You guys made me reanalize some lyrics of songs that I have heard for a million times :) Nice job! Keep on rocking in the free world and stay dark!

[@xstatixtribalelectronicmus2787]

That’s incredible you’re almost at 🔥100,000🔥 Love y’all!

[@HeavyRulezz]

So next is Wheel of Time by Blind Guardian huh?)))) or Ninth Wave. Both are great epic songs !

[@brunohenriqueazevedoborges5490]

I don't think The Ninth Wave holds up. I'd suggest Sacred Worlds instead. But, honestly, I'd like for them to react to some OLD SCHOOL Blind Guardian, like I'm Alive, or Somewhere Far Beyond.

[@guitar_noodle]

Im surprised you guys didn’t do the live version. They pull it off well. If I remember correctly they are well over a hundred tracks for this epic song. The singer Hansi did all the vocal harmonies. This song is definitely a composition.

[@samdoo1433]

Waited a long time for you guys to do some Blind Guardian

[@talesin13]

[@bradsteed6833]

Oh your second taste of the almighty Hansi Kursh. First Blind Guardian reaction too!

[@Txguy264]

Congrats on 100K! Y’all earned it. Keep it up! Keep it heavy 🤘🏽🔥🤘🏽🔥

[@bigg2988]

Yeah, BLIND GUARDIAN! The storytelling aspect of their songs is usually through the roof, supported by some unique badass instrumentation. They are not called the Bards for nothing, for sure. :) That said, I agree long songs are the ultimate test of composers chops and listeners' patience. Remember, Vin and Sori were kinda put off when they jumped into SYMPHONY X and landed on "The Divine Wings of Tragedy". Here also, something like "Mirror Mirror" or "Valhalla" (ESPECIALLY Live) could have made a perfect introduction. But the fans like to try their favorite reactors on the more heady stuff. :) Myself, upon the first listen, "And Then There Was Silence" came at the weary end of the band's most overproduced album, and those vocal acrobatics were so different and seemed not to work, I thought, boy you are in for a ride. It seemed (and is) truly congested music, progressive in the original sense, but then - the ride became cosmic, with everything falling into place, the musical motifs started connecting, the Hansi - choir dialogue was dynamic, and by the time chorus hit, I was reconsidering the whole album - from "meh" to "actually great". For one, the three-storey chorus that starts with "misty tales and poems lost..." is probably the most expansive and engaging thing of its sort - every time you think now THIS is it, turns out what you heard was just a bridge to a greater height, and it keeps building! So sure, brave start with one of the most complicated GUARDIAN songs ever. ;) But I hope you inquisitive couple got intrigued enough to return for more quests! Cheers, Big G

[@Korgon2013]

Yay!! BLIND GUARDIAN!!!

Omg this masterpiece!

[@tskwerl]

Congrats on the 100k! And holy moly, the longest BG magnum opus, tiring, bombastic song. What a choice. :D

[@65Bardy]

I´m so glad you finally found Blind Guardian. The most influencial Band in Speed and Power Metall, now playing 35 Years (thats a lot). I love how this Band is able to give you a feeling of Claasic (Bach and Bethoven) Prog-Rock (Queen and Pink Floyd) and combining this with fairy tales and Fantasy. Andre Olbrich supports with his melodic play the voice of one of the best Rock-Singers in the WOrld: Hansi Kürsch. Bass and drums take care of a fast and sometimes furious Rythm. On their Last Tour the Band played with a 90 head Symphinic Orchestra and a 80 head Choir. Worth to hear are the whole *Imaginations from the other side*; *Nightfall in middle earth* and *Beyond The Red Mirror* album. As single songs you may listen to *The Bards Song-in the Forrest* and *Valhalla* both from the Imaginations through the looking glas DVD. And Two songs made for Computer-games: *Children of the Smith* from the Dwarfs and *Sacred World* an ingame Concert in Sacred II. Their all worth to hear and show a lot of diversity (not all the same Stuff....Blind Guardian is a little bit like Queen [They did *Spread Your Wings* too^^] every song is another style but you allways hear: its the Guardians. Long Talk, short sense from me: Thank you for this reaction.

[@JayTor2112]

For some reason this is the go-to song people request to introduce people to Blind guardian. i don't think it's that representative of their sound. It's too complex and ambitious for its ow good. Something more traditional metal like Valhalla, The Last Candle, or Time What is Time woudl be a better intro, then move on to their symphonic over-produced stuff.

[@pestilence6957]

The Script for my Requiem!

[@T1hitsTheHighestNote]

[@lordecircojeca2039]

Lord of the Rings, The Bard's Song, Journey Through the Dark, Mirror Mirror, Majesty

[@jessel3621]

Boo.

[@tominatorxx]

Took me some time to get into this one tbh. And I'm a massive Blind Guardian fan. Probably why it's chosen so often as recommendation, is because it has so many interesting things going on in it. However, especially on first listens it's quite overwhelming to say the least. This is probably one of the last songs I'd recommend to someone who hasn't heard Blind Guardian before because it can easily turn off people. For many it's just too chaotic as an introduction to the band.

[@KurisuOkami]

It's about damn time. Love Blind Guardian!

[@PWRobinson1976]

Been listening to Blind Guardian for 27 years now ... THE best Metalband out there! Hands down!!!

[@laynejustice23]

Well... one of my favourite songs ever. I didn't expect this. Thank you, I guess :3

[@OchrisFUT]

Oh wow, this is great. This track, and The Odyssey by Symphony X are two of my favorite metal songs. I'm not a huge metalhead, but I can't get enough of these two tracks. So damn epic. And obviously, as you can tell by the name of the second track, it basically goes perfectly being played right after And Then There Was Silence since it's about the Trojan War. Then you get the epic(way longer) Odyssey which is basically like a symphonic work mixed with Metal. Glad this one finally came onto your radar. It's an awesome experience.

[@deadliestassassin3092]

[@alex9euge]

You can hear the influence of Queen's songwritting in this one . There is a lot to the Troyan War because not a single one Greek king besides Menelaos and Agamemnon would spent ten years fighting outside Troyan walls for a woman .It was all about politics and prosperity of the individual Greek kingdoms that led them to leave their homes and fight for so many years.The troyan horse was presented as a gift from Poseidon and as a gift from a god you can never turn it down.

[@victorllera2429]

OBRA MAESTRA!!! NO HAY MAS QUE DECIR!!

[@olubcs44]

That was an amazing song, I love "The Odyssey" and "Illiad". Paris not only slept with Helena with took her away with him, so Agamenon want her back. You need to do more Blind Guardian songs, most of them are about J.R.R Tolkien world, especially the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, check out "The Bard's Song" (live version) or the whole Nightfall In The Middle Earth, an concept album about "The Sirmarillion" (it goes from Quenta Sirmarillion to Nirnaeth Arnoediad), that record is fantastic.

[@TMPOUZI]

When I saw them live they blew my mind

[@FutileGrief]

This is one of the best songs in the history of human kind goddamnit. It's just a lot for people who are not used to this kind of music. It's super long, dramatic, lots of sound layers, it's just too much, even I admit it, but that's also what makes it so great. Not sure why you decided to go for this behemoth of a song instead of something like Mirror Mirror which I have seen requested millions of times!!

[@OskoreiMick]

And this song is awesome Live.... Hansi worked it out.. seen it live and it was better then the studio version

[@123Heitor321]

FINALLY!!!!!

[@leonidaskokkolis6240]

well the Troyan war has two 'singers': Homer and Virgil. This songs mostrly follows the narative of Iliad (Homer) but it has also a sense of Aeneid (Virgil) especially in the end when it says: "the crack of doom father your handsome son is getting home...still the wind blows calm and silent carries news from a distant shore..." meaning Troyan Aenias (the hero of Aeneid) is heading to Italy where his descendants (Remus and Romulus) will establish Rome, and the next is history....

[@Q1297]

The Blind Guardian is here already :o

[@luismetal09041980]

I don't know your fascination of start listening a power metal band by their longest songs 🤷‍♂️. Anyway, one of my favorite bands. Very Queen-esque style. NEXT power metal epic: Keeper of the Seven Keys from Helloween. Try some Tiamat too. You won't regret

[@GenMVeers]

"Keeper..." Live in Wacken 2018!

[@Dindosaur]

[@msoulforged]

I am really pleasantly and completely surprised with this song choice. Bling Guardian is awesome and this is a masterpiece. well done!

[@jagdkotze]

u need to watch Live Videos! The crowd is always insane, singing everything.

[@Seth-fg4ho]

@Vin- I love that ending part too. There's another layer to the lyrics that holds a deeper lesson. An important part of this song is that it's meant to be a vision experienced by the Cassandra, who was a slave in Troy. She was a prophet who could unerringly see the future, but she was cursed so that no one would ever believe her. At the the end, where everyone is dancing, Cassandra sees what's about to happen, but no one wants to listen. That, of course, is followed by: "Father, your handsome son is returning home." (Hector tells Priam that Paris is returning from Greece, but no one realizes yet that he's taken Helen.) "Still the wind blows, calm and silent, carries news from a distant shore." (Cassandra foresees that her vision was real. The Greek ships are coming. But no one listens to her.) "Can't get it out of my head... Sorrow and Defeat. "

[@PWRobinson1976]

In Germany they're called THE BLIND CURTAINS ... that's because GUARDIANS just sounds similar to the German word for curtains: Gardinen. So they got dubbed (by the german Metal Magazine Rock Hard I believe) BLINDE GARDINEN 😂😂😂

[@VanJR.]

Finally!!

[@bastibruhn3049]

Congratulation.

[@MajesticDemonLord]

Also - Patroclus (sp?) isn't the brother of Achilles (at least, not by blood, I think he is mentioned as a Sword Brother? but it's been a while) - basically Patroclus was the best-bud of Achilles. After Agermemnon stole Brieses for his prize (after having to return his prize to the Priest of Apollo), Achilles told Agememnon that he would not fight, not until the forces of Troy burned his ships. The gods aided the forces of Troy, breaching the Greek camp and setting fire to a good number of ships, but Achilles in embittered by his Anger, would not fight as they had not reached *His* ships, seeing the Greek host being slaughtered however, he let Patroclus take his Armour, to rally the Greek host - but warned him, not to pursue the fight passed the Greek lines. Patroclus managed to rally the Greeks, driving them back, almost to the gates of Troy, but the Gods interfered, causing Achilles Helmet (which was worn by Patroclus) to fall off, the Trojans seeing it wasn't Achilles, counter-attacked and Hector killed Patroclus.

[@MajesticDemonLord]

Edit, it's not the Brother: The Trojan war was started because Paris (the prince of Troy) fell in love Menelaus' Wife (Helen of the Fair Cheeks) who was promised to him by Aphrodite after he awarded discord's Golden Apple 'To the Fairest' (against Hera and Athena). Menelaus was the brother of Agamemnon, the high king of the Greeks.

[@Abbadon2407]

The beauty of this song is it's subject. Not the war of troy.... But the VISION Cassandra had of it. Apollo spat in the mouth of the Pithy Cassandra so noone would ever believe her again. Thus she could'nt tell the future anymore. She had the vision on Priam bringing back Helen of Sparta onto his ship (your handsome son is heading is Home, still the wind blow, calm and silent carries news from a distant shore.) And she saw everything in advance. She knew about the defeat, the slaughter, the murders... But could'nt warn anyone because she was cursed. The song is so perfectly woven between speed part and slow parts reflecting the chaos, the panic and the moments of peace and reflection occuring in the mind of Cassandra.... Leading her to madness.

[@ashaias.5186]

[@theicedevil]

This song production is very complex with tones of layers and layers of vocals and music. It can be overwhelming at first listen. Much of it has to do with the production. You should check out the live version. it's much more striped down and IMHO is much better than the studio version. Honestly, Blind Guardian are a live band. They kick ass live. Very fun live band. The singer, Hansi Kursch, is one of my favorite singers in Metal. His voice is amazing! His earlier style has a more Dio quality to his singing. You need to react to "Valhalla" live from "Imaginations Through The Looking Glass". This live version is amazing! It really showcases how good of a live band Blind Guardian are and how passionate their fans are. If you do, it is very important to watch the entire video. Don't just stop it early because the music stopped. There is more.
