Blind Guardian - Mirror Mirror Live

Mirror mirror on the wall!

[@spacepanda3375]

"Hansi, how close to the studio version you wanna sound? " - "Yes"

[@rykehuss3435]

Pretty close indeed, no surprise since their live dvd's are edited in studio. Including Hansi's voice.

[@shapeshifter7676]

I always prefer their live versions and most of it is thanks to the amazing crowd. There's just something about their music that's amplified so much by crowd singing along.

[@kills12kills]

@@rykehuss3435 Editing has nothing to do, seen them live 3 times, they sound good af.

[@Frelzor]

@@kills12kills Of course editing has a shit-ton to do. That doesn't mean they don't sound good live without it, tho.

[@doomofmalantai]

Man, Hansi could just get the crowd to sing the whole damn song, but then we'd miss out on his amazing voice, only blind guardian can get a crowd this epic

[@sergeant_chris6209]

This actually happened to a concert of theirs I attended a week ago. The crowd sang ALL of the Bard Song while Hansi himself sang 5-6 lines at most

[@MonoGrinded]

Im new to the band, would it be offensive to suggest these versions actually sound better than the albums?

[@jeppe118]

​@MonoGrinded No. Not at all. They are amazing at concerts.

[@Bilingord]

115 people work for Morgoth

[@fruitchewx127]

​@@Rekko82good thing this song is about the Silmarillion then

[@powermetalbard]

The Chorus gives me chills everytime. MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL. TRUE HOPE LIES BEYOND THE COAST. YOU'RE A DAMNED KIND CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE WINDS WILL CHANGE!

[@wout4yt]

+SlenderMansBuddy It's those drums, they just go in overdrive when the chorus starts, that's what makes that that chorus so beast..

[@hazbojangles2681]

Tuor the only immortal Man

[@ZachValkyrie]

I've said it before, but still: You know a band is amazing when people come to a show to hear THEMSELVES sing!!! \,,/ Hail to the bards of METAL \,,/

[@worldsruler]

I love how the lead guitarist looks soo happy. There are many bands that look angry when they play, but when I see blind guardian I can tell they're having a really good time. That's one of the reasons I love their music.

[@1SmokingLizard]

Henjo from Gamma Ray is always smiling as well. Guy plays so good and is always fun to watch his high spirits.

[@beaffteki]

@@1SmokingLizard Helloween, maybe?

[@Lomeranyar]

Kai Hansen always looks happy

[@alanjeferson262]

No matter how many times I listen to this song. Every time is the same, so fucking amazing! Hansi rules!

[@aarstdmfg7006]

This is not only the song. This is the epic saga from the gods!!! :)

[@TheHeadbanger151]

Hansi didn't get fat, he just acquired power, a lot of power.

[@hecksmurf4513]

Hansi is the only artist that will always without fail, manage to sound better live

[@danielsantslv4565]

He never sound better live, if he tried he would not last 3 songs

[@Ginkoman2]

​@@danielsantslv4565 Thats not true. some singing techniques allow singing over a long period. The singer of the scorpions sang all day when they were recording. it just depends on how much mass you have to accelerate in your throat. if you sing more with your mouth and tongue its less straining

[@changes4818]

@@Ginkoman2 except that Klaus Meine’s singing is entirely different from that of Hansi, with Hansi’s requiring more usage of harsher techniques and higher notes that would damage anyone’s voice if done excessively, and not even Meine himself could do that.

[@ringlstette90]

Rob Halford too

[@kills12kills]

I'd not say he's better than on the studio but he is good and consistant live, seen them 3 times, they never dissapoint.

[@teepannu1234]

The best Mirror Mirror live ever!!!!

[@tonistonis2674]

What a vocalist!!

[@steelwarrior105]

this song is so much better live

[@WingedDemons666]

All of their songs are better live ! ahah

[@user-mn1dx6gw4k]

Its true my friend \m/

[@silvershade3265]

I like the studio version as well but they have that special interaction with us (their fans) that makes their gigs unique. Plus they are incredible musicians

[@Bopha.11]

I've tried to find a live version that sounds like the album, failed

[@ernstvay5380]

Pablo Des it sounds better in live

[@physicsmaster1975]

A band doing an album based on Lord of the rings: how cool is that?

[@theabysskeeper]

Just perfect

[@StrikeFromTheSkies]

It isn't quite LotR, just so that you know

[@NihilSubSole]

Silmarillion :-)

[@ImAnuEl81]

its about the fck epic silmarillion, the lord of the rings are boring vs silmarillion

[@Rekko82]

I hate Lord of the Rings. The movie was terrible and I have heard that the book is even more boring. Why anyone would like to watch a movie how some people wonder in a forest and talk to the trees? Boring compilation of special effects! I'd rather watch even Water-world. This band has also made songs about Peter Pan - which has almost as little street credit as Lame of the Rings. Their music is very good though and I bought Imaginations from the Other Side just to listen to their music. The lyrics are just cringe!

[@alemutasa6189]

This is one of the best shows ever recorded. The crowd is on fire, they play like holy shit and everything is perfect

[@Skaeld]

My wolf heard this song and became a Fenrir.

[@rodrigogier]

2:40 shit never thought he would ever do it original pitch live OMG

[@woodsteel]

...his voice gives me the chills!!!

[@christophschneider7086]

mirror mirror on the waaaaall !!!!! dat chorus MAAAAN !!!!

[@KenzieTrinityDeasy]

Best concert ive been to

[@FallenTemplar]

kevin deasy You are realy, realy lucky! In my opinion that was the best live concert ever....

[@nathanielhellman6952]

The songs on this album make so much more sense once you have read the Silmarillion.

[@FreaperFTW]

Nathaniel Hellman Yea, I love how so many power metal bands have put Middle Earth to music.

[@nathanielhellman6952]

FreaperFTW It is awesome

[@timtamtheturtleman4598]

+Nathaniel Hellman Is it any good?

[@nathanielhellman6952]

TimTamTheTurtleMan The Silmarillion is amazing. Be aware though it read more like a history book than a novel.

[@timtamtheturtleman4598]

Nathaniel Hellman Cool, I love lotr so I should give it a go.

[@Dukilein1984]

Blind Guardian: One of the very few bands where LIVE = ALBUM!!!! 100% perfect, no fail. Nearly imbossible. No wonder my head is about to explode after the first song of a concert of them :) Haaaaansi!!!!!

[@Savatagery]

This was the first Blind Guardian song i ever heard and it is still awesome every time I hear it.

[@WhiteDeath]

The Chorus of the songs of this band are just hymns! It's amazing!

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

I never see Blind Guardian as a band for party, but common, the way this music is placed in the middle of the album, the concert, the performance, the people, everything is goosebumps for me listening 15 years after. THe more the world decays the greater these old moments become

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I love the way Hansi sings 'that the winds will change' in this version. He just turns on his internal voice distortion or something. The way he sings that is better than the album.

[@BigMek456]

And I've said it before too. Epic is too simple to discribe this band or this song. Blind Guardian, you are the best!

[@MetalSweden]

what a great feeling to hear thousands of people singing along this song!!!

[@AdrienTepes]

Even though The storm calmed down The bitter end Is just a matter of time Just amazing

[@ziowhiskers3093]

I still cry singing it.

[@dafsuk1986]

I discovered Hansi from Avantasia, yeah a power metal fan who haven’t listened to Blind Guardian (I should be shot) since discovering him I can’t get enough of these and “demons and wizards” what a voice! So unique! Music is constant entertainment! Great band!!!!

[@buttrockman4578]

Hansi is the best vocalist in any metal band ever.

[@srs7593]

While not untrue, to be fair, this is the best live recording of him.

[@andrear5776]

Im late, but he is actually outclassed by attila dorn

[@rennie7385]

Andrea R Naaaah, i love both and don‘t wanna compare them. Each has his unique style.

[@changes4818]

@@andrear5776 Dorn? Cmon man, you could’ve picked a better singer. He’s great and all but he’s nowhere near Hansi, not in range, power, versatility, or tone.

[@bluejumpsweater]

The drummer is called Thomen Stauch, he left Blind Guardian 2005 for his own side project called Savage Circus (with the Persuader singer and guitarist). The new drummer is called Frederik Ehmke.

[@bronzejusthawk]

yeah bro.. i saw them live yesterday..i cant believe that hansi still has the same godish voice live after all these years he is singing.when valhalla came in we were all singing for extra 4 minutes Valhaaallaaaaa deliverance hahaha it was so awesome..hansi said Absolutely fucking amazing.i truly believe that they had to see such a good live for a long time :) Long live Blind Guardian \m/

[@trelopaokaras]

blind guardian is the best metal band i've ever seen good like Hansi and the others and the bring us the best songs

[@jussaramagalhaes2734]

[@pedrohenriquepinheiro9131]

Far, far beyond the island We dwelt in shades of twilight Through dread and weary days Through grief and endless pain It lies unknown The land of mine A hidden gate To save us from the shadow fall The lord of water spoke In the silence Words of wisdom I've seen the end of all Be aware the storm gets closer Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That tomorrows bears insanity Gone's the wisdom Of a thousand years A world in fire and chains and fear Leads me to a place so far Deep down it lies my secret vision I better keep it safe Shall I leave my friends alone Hidden in my twilight hall (I) know the world is lost in fire Sure there is no way to turn it Back to the old days Of bliss and cheerful laughter We're lost in barren lands Caught in the running flames Alone How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Even though The storm calmed down The bitter end Is just a matter of time Shall we dare the dragon Merciless he's poisoning our hearts Our hearts How shall we leave the lost road Time's getting short so follow me A leader's task so clearly To find a path out of the dark Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change Mirror Mirror on the wall True hope lies beyond the coast You're a damned kind can't you see That the winds will change
