Blind Guardian live (full show) | Rockpalast | 2016

[@captaindeadeye788]

This man is 50 years old here. And hear the power that still lies in that voice. Impressive in every sense of the word.

[@7.Stunde-Weisheitskunde]

absolutely

[@7.Stunde-Weisheitskunde]

I will share my experiences with Blind Guardian with you, being a 1980s born German pen and paper and LARP roleplayer. At age 13, The Bard's Song accompanied EVERY Roleplaying Session. At concerts, EVERYONE here in Germany knew they were international top tier, not a niche "Power Metal Band". Voice and Songwriting was just too good. When I moved out of my mom's apartment in 1998, I moved with hiphoppers. Who with me danced from room to room along with Blind Guardian extensive solos doing the air guitar FOR HOURS. Everyone here instantly knew, when they heard it, how awesome this music was.

Man, Hansi is no spring chicken, but the dude still has one hell of a set of pipes. One of my favorite metal vocalists. So much power in his voice.

[@pfoliveira12]

Adored your idioms: spring chickenand set of pipes. Never heard of them. Added to my vocabulary right now lol

[@xiZeph]

Hansi and Daniel Heiman are for sure my favourites as far as vocalists go, the power is insane.

Blind Guardian, meine Einstiegsdroge was Metal angeht. Bin bisher nicht mehr davon losgekommen vom Genre.

[@dimitarkaloyanov9188]

Andre Olbrich is seriously the best guitarist in the world!!! Those harmonies in end of the Prophecies' solo are so full of emotion, I feel SO EPIC!!! I'm tired of technically skilled guitarists with no soul, I choose Olbrich over any other guitarist any day of the year! Everyone always talks about Hansi but I truly believe that the magic that differs BG from other bands and makes them so special is Andre Olbrich's writing!

[@MantraHerbInchSin]

True you can´t forget about Andre and most people tend to forget the pillars, but still, imagine whatever Blind Guardian song without Hansi. Or rather, don´t imagine it because that would... Nah, don´t wanna.

[@dontanton7775]

It's the mix of those two and the chemistry they have as long friends that fuels the creativity of BG. Markus surely has some impact too, but the majority of stuff is Andre and Hansi exchanging creative ideas.

[@MetalTalkPodcast]

Absolutely agree!

[@vocaldeviation]

Hell yeah. I think Andre and Hansi together make some of the most epic music of all time.

[@sergeant_chris6209]

I feel the need to congraduate not just the main guys, but also the bass and the keys. These guys get little recognition, however their inputs (instruments, backing vocals) complete these songs. Kudos to everybody in this band, you people are the best!

[@Flying_Luck]

Hansi's voice gives me chills like nothing else... Love it!

[@tradtke101]

Agreed. Him and Chris Cornell are the best male rock voices of their time IMO

[@Muckrackerz]

@@tradtke101 You, sir, have wonderful taste.

[@tradtke101]

@@Muckrackerz oh thanks, you're very kind. I think I would also put Michael Poulsen from Volbeat up there on the list too. Going to see them live with Ghost in just a few weeks!

[@Muckrackerz]

@@tradtke101 I'm not all that big on Volbeat (but I do love Ghost), but I will fully admit that Poulsen has a remarkable voice. My personal picks if we're just talking about adding to the list of all-time great (male) metal vocalists would be Bruce Dickinson. I think his control, diction, enunciation and qualities as someone who tells stories with music are all amazing. Rob Halford, Corey Taylor, and Eric Adams would also be rock solid picks, I guess, but I'm not that big into either of their respective bands. I will be seeing Blind Guardian for the first time ever in August by the way :)

[@tradtke101]

@@Muckrackerz thanks for the reply- I'm pretty new to metal so I will definitely check out these names. I hope that BG will come to the US before long and I can em live.

[@madmattz8307]

Eine der ganz wenigen Formate/Inhalte, bei denen ich den Rundfunkbeitrag angemessen "investiert" sehe.

[@mrolsen6987]

Hansi looks like a dude who's working at an office with paper and computers, just think of him going to a karaoke bar dressed up in costume and start singing Valhalla.. Everyone would be like "what is this old fart doing..." Untill he starts singing. 😂👌 I would pay for seeing that! 😂

[@Nikioko]

Hansi turned 50 in that year and I am glad that he got rid of that long hair and that jumper. Short hair and a black shirt suit him much better.

[@helcaraxe8766]

@@Nikioko those looks are just horrible, and so many artists are still clinged to it. That shouldn't define anything at all. Shit, good music is good music - growl at me with your skinny pants and you balding head, idgaf, I'm still gonna spill my beer banging to it

[@fernandopena8562]

Blind Guardian has one of the most powerful vocals. It's quite epic. Personally I enjoy each time I listen Blind Guardian. It's one of the bands that you never fed up with. I missed "Bright eyes", "Sacred", "a voice in the dark" and I really want to hear their covers in a concert at least once. (as Hallelullah, Spread your wings, Surfin' Usa and Mr. sandman), but I know... The more songs you have, the more songs you let out. It was a good tracklist, though.

[@aqsenen]

50:50 what a beautiful and touching solo! a clean guitar soloing alone, in the middle of a Metal show. That's Blind Guardian.

[@hazbojangles2681]

It sure did capture the majesty of High King Fingolfin riding out to challenge The ‘Craven’ Morgoth.

It's so impressing how they can make a setlist and place more recent stuff next to all time classics and it just adds up without ever giving you a feeling that a song should not make it to the set next to their classics.

I lost track of how many times I’ve watched this. Hansi’s voice is as powerful and spellbinding as always, the playing is as good as you could ever dream it to be, and the energy of the crowd is a thing unto itself. I cannot *wait* until this COVID shit is over, because attending a live Blind Guardian show is at the top of my agenda. (Yes, I’ll admit that the cameraman is really overexcited, but the fact that that is the only major complaint speaks for itself.)

[@MetalionMusic]

I've seen them live twice, and I'm very glad I did... two of the best rock shows I've ever seen. Particularly, I saw them on Halloween in 2015, and the show started with everyone but Hansi on stage wearing jester outfits, complete with masks. The drummer and bassist were in darker outfits, the guitarists brighter outfits. Then, right before the vocals kicked in, Hansi strolled out on stage... dressed as Elvis! 😆 Amazing! Also, an entire room full of people singing 'Mirror Mirror' is an awesome experience.

Man, how can you lie so bad? His voice is nothing like in the studio album, he can't reach 1 single high note or scream, stop lie man, for God sake, not even u believe what u are saying, come on.

[@dontanton7775]

WOW....He sings "Imaginations from the other side" like on the original album, for the most part. With all the screaming! He often didn't go there when playing the song live, probably to protect his voice. But here, wow... The final scream is nearly not distinguishable from the album scream. And he recorded that like 25y ago. I have no words.

[@carlosluismendez7392]

He adds a lot of distorsion there, doesn't it ? :)

I can't remember Will I ever find myself The distance is growing My hope has gone away A flash of light but nothing changes When will it end Which part of me remains Soon I'll be back On my ferryboat of tales Where oblivion reigns It will take all of me Ref.
