HANSI KÜRSCH - 40 YEARS of BLIND GUARDIAN album artwork!

[@theartofheavymetal]

Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out our first interview with Hansi, where we talked specifically about the artwork for A Night at the Opera, fantasy in metal, and Bloodstock Open Air, as well as some of our other interviews with awesome power metal bands like Unleash the Archers and Glyph!

A channel about metal album art? Excellent! (love that 2022 Blind Guardian album art too -- one of the best album covers of all time)

[@BaerPawFilms]

Yeah The God Machine cover is awesome!!! Really good record too, one of my favourite BG albums tbh

Thank you for this interview, very interesting! I also love the first interview you did with Hansi, it's one of my favourite interviews I saw with him. I hope someday I have the opportunity to meet him in person, he seems to be such a nice guy (besides the fact he is the vocalist of one of my two favourite bands 😬)

[@theartofheavymetal]

Glad you enjoyed it! One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, hope you get to shake his hand one day as well!

@@theartofheavymetal thanks! By the way, I have one question: Is it not allowed for interviewers to ask about their personal lives? I have never seen anyone asking such questions. Hansi share some personal information during interviews but it is just by chance, it is never something previously asked.

@@nataliaruiz3208 Great question! Having shot many hundreds of interviews over the years, I can't really think of a single one where we didn't discuss, even if briefly right before we start, what we are going to be asking/talking about with the subject. Most managers/agents of any personality or celebrity, big or small, will ask in advance what the interview is about, and sometimes even ask for a list of questions to be submitted in advance. It is entirely up to the interview subject what they want to share or talk about! Often people will say I don't want to talk about that, or I don't know, etc. and we move on to the next question, and cut that part out of the final interview and no one knows! Most artists and musicians prefer to focus on their body of work and keep their personal lives private for obvious reasons!

Neat Interview, glad to see the channel is still putting out

[@theartofheavymetal]

Thanks for checking it out! I’ve been absolutely slammed with work and haven’t had time to put out content as regularly as I’d like!

[@PrimoSchnevi]

@@theartofheavymetal absolutely understandable, the necessity of physical reproduction limits the capability to follow ones passions for all of us

[@midwintersymph]

Thank you for the interview!

Love this band. I've been a fan since the Nightfall album, when I was 12 and seen that album artwork in my local music shop and only had enough money for two cds... I was young and new to metal. And it was the Nu-Metal days and Nightfall just opened my eyes. Album artwork really matters. The 2nd cd was Areyon Electric Castle.

[@theartofheavymetal]

Awesome! It definitely does matter, you only get one first impression on someone as a band or artist. Thanks for watching!

[@fluffypillow3937]

Hansi!!! Great interview 🤘

[@alexight]

I love Andreas Marshall artwork.

[@theartofheavymetal]

Me too, absolute legend!

[@YoursTrulyThe1Pony]

Its so awesome that blind guardian has been making music for 40 years can they do another decade make 50 years before retiring

[@theartofheavymetal]

If you watch our other interview with Hansi, he confirms that they have no plans to stop! Thanks for watching.

Nah, make it 100 years. Blind Guardian is a completely unique band, every album is entirely different from everything before and different from contemporary bands, but still holds a quintessential "Blind Guardian" feel to it.
