Unboxing Imaginations - Blind Guardian

[@PabloLink74]

It's funny how Hansi knows that we know the lyrics by heart

[@RottingChristTributeOriginal]

Brings up memories from decades ago listening to it after school...always love it since then

[@panths81]

θυμαμαι και την μέρα που το αγόρασα.παραμονή του Αγίου Δημητριου.Το ακουγα ως αργα το βράδυ.την επομενη μέρα κοιμηθηκα τόσο πολυ που έχασα την σχολική γιορτή.6 απουσίες μετρησα.

It was a pleasure to write the story alongside with Hansi about Imaginations album :)

[@A_Ducky]

You lucky thing! 🤘😎🤘 This box + pic vinyls just arrived today.. hypage is real 😁

[@MF-ng1qz]

Funny how he roasts the credits. Ein extrem gutes Album.

[@FelixOlschewski]

Thank you Hansi. As always it has been a pleasure to work on this one. IFTOS has been one of the most important albums of my youth and it has certainly shaped my vision of my own music, even if that might be recognizable to anyone.

[@barbaravance6774]

Fantastic work! 💕

[@jamildo566]

The best ever Band!

[@johnnyteres]

Hansi and Blind Guardian are legends.

[@pulsaran]

Yeah, loving me some Blind Guardian and Demons & Wizards ;-)

[@johnxipo77]

Best album of the band ...I was so excited when I bought it 25 years ago... My favourite album ever ... My favourite artwork .. it's in my right arm.... As a tattoo!!!!!!

[@stratisk7162]

Probably my favorite album of all time. You have been a great part of my life. Thank you for everything!

[@sinfulensemble]

All the editions look awesome, but the earbook is beyond epicness!!

[@chibichibix]

Hansi, I am waiting for you in Brazil! Please, come back. ❤️

[@jordio5927]

Amazing album, I remember to be shocked the first time I listened to it...still a masterpiece!

[@ricardomelo9683]

Thank you for this GREAT GREAT GREAT album! I love it as much today as when I first heard it!

[@JayTor2112]

Now we need the same thing for the Nightfall album in 2023. So start rehearsing those songs for the live shows.

[@SurivelCrafter]

Super box! Das puzzle muss ich noch machen :D

[@globoboboglob3270]

Woah the puzzle is such a cool thing to add!

[@AndrSh-84]

My Favorite Band of All Time, and Hansi Kursch is so nice person.Best wishes and good luck to Blind Guardian!!!

[@SirMordred524]

Managed to buy the box set from the band's website. This will be the third time I bought this album, but it's tied with Nightfall as my favorite BG album and this band deserves my money.

[@maxwellschultz4784]

Crazy how Hanzi didn't get no. 1 or 2 or even 4...he got 866! 😃

[@rothbardfreedom]

I got the gold LP and the boxset. Beautiful work and the live version is great as well, really great show. We are all waiting for a Nightfall in Middle Earth tour in 2023 or 2028 :D

One of my top-3 BG albums, along with "Somewhere.." and "Nightfall.." Got it on first edition picture LP. Thank you for all these years of great music!

[@CasperInkyMagoo]

We love you Hansi! Supergeil!

[@juanmanuel7501]

Thank you for all the albums,especially for nightfall of middle earth.

[@francescoprestigiacomo9193]

I will buy that for sure, it's my BG favourite one. The day when Hansi and Andre signed IFTOS in Milan, before the release of Beyond tha Red Mirror, was for me one of the best of the last years.

[@Requlier]

Shame I was not able to get my hands on the 25th Anniversary Boxset, but I am happy that I was somehow able to acquire one of the Traveler's Guide to Space and Time boxset back in 2015. Can't wait for the day you guys return to Pontiac, Michigan (or anywhere in Michigan for that matter)! Your shows at The Crofoot in 2015 and 2016 were my first two concerts ever, and were absolutely amazing!

[@patrikek666]

A true masterpiece! I bought it back in 1995 on CD and now I bought he earbook. Very cool! The only "complain" I have is that it would be awesome if the album was featured in a 5.1 mix on the blu-ray (like Ayreon does) and I would loved if the live concert on the blu-ray was in 5.1 sound and not just stereo sound. An documentery with interviews with the band, Rasmus and Adreas would also be very cool. Thank you Blind Guardian for being the soundtrack of my teenage years and beyond!

[@GawainSSB]

I am lucky I got to see this! Incredible album and incredible concert

[@PontesRenan]

Thank you Hansi for sharing with us the stories behind this wonderful album. Memories from Siara Hall! Fortaleza Brasil.

[@Melkorsilmarils]

Your're the Best Band Ever ! Love you guys !

[@Mikehero69_]

Crank it up, Hansi! I can't wait until my bronze vinyl edition arrives in the mail. You've done a great job at celebrating my favourite album of all time, so thank you Blind Guardian!

[@rvdsbg]

Please release a version of blu-ray separetely. All we need to watch this. 😱

[@mgkpraesi]

I remember seeing them before Böse Onkelz in Diezenbach..like 25 Years ago. Damn...the time...

[@theicedevil]

My very first and favorite Blind Guardian album. I had to buy the Japanese import because Blind Guardian had no dissolution deal in the US at the time. That came several years later with Century Media. I love this album more today then back when I first listened to it. Blind Guardian albums are like a fine wine. They only get better with age.

[@marcelonogueira3400]

great vocalist Hansi

[@luisangelm.721]

Please come back to Costa Rica soon, we love you 🤘🏼🇨🇷

[@carloseduardoribeirofreitas]

You will a commerative version of nightfall or version part 2 of nightfall?Something expected by fans of the band. Greetings from Brazil. Hansi is great singer.

Awesome edition, definitely. It's a pity it is sold out(( "imaginations from the other side" is one of the world's elite and iconic power metal albums ever recorded in my opinion. There is no even one bad riff:) My top of power metal albums of the 90's i listen at least once a month is: ICED EARTH "Night of the stormrider" 1992, RUNNING WILD "Black hand inn" 1994, BLIND GUARDIAN "Imaginations from the other side" 1995, EDGUY "Vain glory opera" 1998, BLIND GUARDIAN "Somewhere far beyond" 1992 (i don't know if it is worse or better "Imaginations" :-) JUDAS PRIEST "Painkiller" 1990, TAD MOROSE "Sender of thoughts" 1995, PARAGON "The final command" 1998, PRIMAL FEAR "Primal fear" 1997, BRAINSTORM "Unholy" 1997. Cheers from Russia guys!

[@tiagohermangameplays]

Amazing !!! We brazilians love you !!!

I have my copy of the album singed at the "Night at the opera" tour back in the day...

[@copperqwaser2468]

i was lucky enough to grab the black vinyl and cd. I did not get it in time for the bronze. but I am thrilled that I got the vinyl at all. I hope the book is available in North America

[@runic13]

I wish I had gotten a copy before they all sold out in America. This has been an unlucky year to be sure. You guys are my favorite band of all time!

I need, very very wonderful, perfect edition, wow

[@austins1230]

Does anyone have any idea why Blind Guardian stopped commissioning andreas marschall for their covers? Those covers are still synonymous with Blind Guardians sound.

Go check out the artwork for the bands new single "Merry Xmas Everybody".

Putz...já temos duas versões do Imaginations, agora seremos obrigado a ter mais essa. O que é que é essa versão? Só quero ver se vai chegar aqui no Brasil...e se chegar, quanto será o preço? Será que teremos que vender os rins? Se for preciso, Venderemos! Kkkkkkkkkkk

[@danielbuld8472]

The last great Blind Guardian Album ❤

[@d-man8294]

Ach ja, das bringt Erinnerungen zurück... Damals mit Hammerfall, Virgin Steele, Manowar und Blind Guardian angefangen Metal zu hören. Früher ganz klar True Metal, Power Metal, heute viel breiter aufgestellt und Bands wie Avenged Sevenfold, Arch Enemy, Amoth Amarth und Five Finger Death Punch dominieren meine Playlists. Nichtsdestotrotz, fragt mach mich nach dem besten Metal Album aller Zeiten kann ich nur ein Album nennen: Imaginations from the other side.

[@tschubi2172]

Ein Like für den Dual 1229 😁. Aber natürlich auch für das Album und die liebevollen Varianten. Bei mir dreht die Pearlwhite auf dem Reibradler Dual 1219 😉
