DEMONS & WIZARDS - The Gunslinger (Live at Wacken 2019)

[@Tolucoregonian]

Hansi, you are one of the greatest.

[@ДмитрийМуринов]

Mr. Roland Deschain would be glad to hear this. These guys never forget the faces of their fathers!

[@guyinternet2018]

You say so and I say thank you, sai

[@Dessloch]

I can't believe Hansi is really singing live, he sounds better than ever. Kudos to the sound technician too, because the whole sound quality is amazing in this vid. I'm glad to see D&W back together after so long :)

[@tatelmarcelino4846]

Schaffer's guitar tone is always fucking 💪!!!

[@rayziegler682]

By far one of the best metal vocalists hands down...

[@eternum7056]

I think it's hard to pick one who's the best metal vocalist. Hansi is one of them, but there's also Devin Townsend, Simon "ICX Vortex" Hæstens, Robert Plant, Mikael Akerfeldt etc. I'm thinking they're all sounds as good as possible, only difference is they voice tone. Guess they're all at spot number one

[@trias418]

hansi's dirty vocals sound better here than ever before. Not sure how that's even possible

[@chetmcgovern9985]

Hansi looks like a math teacher, then he starts singing....

[@underground868]

I just finished the Dark Tower series and this song just takes that journey to a whole new level

[@boyetespiritu2384]

wow. I am fired up to see Demons and Wizards active again. Hansi’s voice is solid on this live singing...

[@Hugh_Jas]

I saw Blind Guardian a couple years back and just saw D&W last week. I have to say I think Hansi sounded better on this tour than with BG!

[@CriticsConfession]

Cherish it, because they're probably gonna disappear for another decade after next year.

I have a ton of respect for Fredreik Ehmke. He's up there cleanly playing Bobby Jarzombek and Richard Christy drum parts. Dude is an incredible drummer!

[@Anetron1]

Richard Christy didn't play on either of the albums, it was Bobby on the second one and Mark Prator on the first one. :)

[@MichaelHolmgaard]

I disagree. It's painfully obvious, that Ehmke doesn't have the power or technique to follow these songs. It's a huge let down, because the rest of this lineup is very strong 🔥

[@carlosluismendez7392]

@@MichaelHolmgaard He can even play jazz and fusion. He has plenty of technique to play speed metal.

[@lo3572]

For me, music doesn't get any better than this. EPIC

[@lexmirnov]

Saw them in Moscow this summer. Mind blown, been headbanging like I'm 18 again. And Hansi's singing was even better

[@MelissaHellcat]

DEMONS & WIZARDS is such great and mind-blowing band that I'm just speechless. This is music of my metal soul. And Hansi is the BEST vocalist for my ears and my heart. I love this madly

[@Carlos-ol8me]

Can't agree more!! They're totally amazing!! Let's hope for a new album next year🤯

[@thesentinel5523]

LOL. That's pretty funny. I know, Hansi's worn the same shirt since they're 98' appearance.

Probably not the same.

[@CarlosPanades]

It is unbelieveable how good you guys sound live. I am a BIG fan since the beggining of the band and listen to the whole albums quite often, they don't saturate in any ways, same adrenaline I felt first time I listened to them.

[@shermansmith1331]

Outstanding. Hansi, Jon and Jake Dreyer...so much talent on one stage. Epic.

[@GhostWarfare]

Oh my God, this is insane, the bans is SOLID and I just love it when Hansi puts an effort to sing powerful and hit the critical high notes in the melodies as opposed to altering or going low as he otherwise often does (probably not to strain too much his voice when on tour) but here - ALL HIS MIGHT!!! AWESOME!!! \m/

[@nikoskosmas3200]

4:35 and on...I believe it's the exact point that stage amplifiers began melting down.what a dark and loud sound from Schafer's guitar...🤘

[@carlosluismendez7392]

Wir waren persönlich vor Ort - der Hammer ! Jon und Hansi hatten eine Performance auf die Bühne gelegt, die nicht zu toppen war !

[@SefniVinalonn]

Just saw them live in Denver. It was fucking incredible, one of the best shows I've ever seen. Everything sounded right on point and the crowd was amazing. As cool as festivals are, nothing beats the sound of a band getting to properly set up and play a headlining set. These guys are the real deal.

Done is done Yes, there will be no taking back Every journey must come to an end All hail to the Gunslinger Praise to the Dinh and the King Beyond our reach, out of control Save me To touch the rose it will not bring release No taking back Come save me There are other worlds But surely none like this The world has changed Done is done Yes, there will be no taking back The word is the law Law is Ka The end of the road lies Straight ahead it lies I'm feeling pure The end of the road lies ... The sacrifice of innocence The hailing of the gun My way was death and madness Now let the tower come Done is done Yes, there will be no taking back And every journey must come to an end All hail to the Gunslinger Praise to the Dinh and the King Beyond our reach, out of control ...
