METALHEAD ENVIES| MANOWAR| "BATTLE HYMN"

[@jedtayloruk]

It’s normally a 4 piece group, this was a big reunion show with all past and present members up to 2005.

[@aaronderunheilige385]

the bass player is Joey demaio and he plays his 8 string custom piccolo bass its a one of a kind and yeah theres a dvd this was actually the end of an 2 hour show and not the whole song but if youre interested in seeing the whole show the dvd is called The Day the Earth Shook - The Absolute Power greetings from germany an hail and kill

😂 Awesome to see you check out Manowar and with this song and video none the less. I remember seeing this video when I was kid. These dudes have been at it since 1980. This song "Battle Hymn" comes from their album in 1983 making this song 40 years old this year. Manowar comes from upstate NY but are immensely popular outside the USA as you can see in this video. Vocalist Eric Adams has been in music since 1965 and he is also a New York State bow hunting instructor Fun fact: You were complementing their stage show and performance. Manowar has broken the world record multiple times for "Worlds Loudest Band"

I heard this song in 1985 when I got the vinyl. This live performance made me cry was so epic!!! Pure love for this band.

[@heathen-heart]

I remember buying Battle Hymns when it came out in 1982, I was 12 years old, I had to mow many lawns to buy that vinyl. Same with Into Glory Ride after that.

I'm glad you liked Manowar's live performance. There are so many amazing songs by Manowar to discover. I'd recommend you to check out Bridge of Death and Blood of the Kings. Hail and Kill is also a masterpiece.

[@daveassanowicz186]

Other bands play MANOWAR KILL Hail to the TRUE METAL KINGS

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

This is the metal setup of all times, all the still alive reunited.

'Battle Hymn' is over forty years old. Manowar's glory years were the 1980s. If you want to learn about Joey DeMayo's skills, listen to 'Sting Of The Bumblebee' (by Rimsky Korsakov). It's rare to hear such bass. All albums from those years are worth knowing. To start with, I would probably choose 'Kings Of Metal'. Generally, great music for guys in armor hitting each other with swords.

ManOwaR - Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee

[@DB-bx7fm]

find the end that was cut here (guitar fight, druma desrruction, strings being pulled out)

[@ulrichbembennek5739]

Joey is the best bass player in the world and he plays bass and guitar in one.

[@dimitarmitev7176]

I can't believe a metalhead hadn't listen to Manowar...!?! 😁 Or Helloween?!? Now bow and get ready to see their current lineup from 2017-2019 Pumpkins United Alive tour and live album 😅 There's a suprise waiting you there too ;) 3 singers, 3 guitars....

[@dimitarmitev7176]

And they are planning to stay that way for good 👍

[@dimitarmitev7176]

You may start with How Many Tears.....

[@PauloHowlett]

Yes, this song is from the DVD called The Absolute Power, you cand it in its entirety on KZbin.

[@jrg770]

The bass player has a bunch of wierd setups. This is an 8 string bass with the string gauges octaves apart, like a 12 string guitar. But they are not usual bass string gauges. He always uses lighter gauge strings even on his 4 string basses and uses guitar pickups, not bass. And often distortion. (He is in the Left speaker u can hear when he cranks his built in preamp.) He is more like half bass half guitar.. Listen to the song 'Mountains' for more 8 string chimey bass tones. 🍻

[@PauloHowlett]

Joey plays an 8 string bass.

[@PauloHowlett]

There's no acoustic instruments here. What you hear in the beggining is the bass without distortion.

[@PauloHowlett]

This video features the two former guitar players and two former drummers plus the current ones (by the time).

[@V1ZTY]

Another song request is: Band: Graveyard Song: Please Don’t From: Sweden

[@santtusan6387]

A 12 string bass on this song by the way! More Manowar reaction please! Hail from Finland

[@bushwickbillOG]

what you smoking?

[@heathen-heart]

2:30 to notice the 3 drummers? really?

[@Arddhu-v6g]

Just play the video, and talk about it after!

[@markohepola7043]

and you are not a metalhead if you dont know the difference on 4string bass and 8 string piccolobass...

[@rockdariff]

So im not a metalhead for not knowing about an instrument?

[@daveassanowicz186]

Not only are there 3 drummers and 3 guitar players, on the left side of the stage is a 100 piece orchestra on 3 levels/floors and on the same on the right for a 100 piece choir. You can see the orchestra @14:30

[@jzl2003]

this band doesnt get much respect in the states but they are huge overseas and in South America. It's a piccalo bass btw. They are an incredible band.

[@pavolridrich3434]

Pity you chose the cut version. This song goes for another 7 min. And yes, it is whole dvd live show. Manowar is insane. And Eric still kick ass in his 70s
