@@Ssorca Not gonna happen. He allegedly used bear spray (heavy-duty pepper spray) on DC/Capitol police. Guessing he'll do at least 3 to 5 years, maybe more, due to the other 5 lesser charges.
THIS is the spectacle Demons and Wizards deserve! Hansi has NEVER sounded more powerful than this performance. The playing was absolutely superb by everyone involved. Those arpeggios in Fiddler are almost a song unto themselves.
The way he goes from his screams to soft singing in Fiddler is just jaw-dropping. It's almost like he's getting better with age, which with this range is almost ridiculous.
His vocals have definitely been getting better and better with each new BG and D&W album. Its has been really exciting to hear his newer recordings for me, and I am so looking forwars to III and next year's new BG!
I was excited about Legacy before it came out, but when it did, oh man, I did not expect the uniqueness of the high level musicianship. This guy is on a roll, and I really hope (and expect) he keeps it going. Looking forward to new D&W and next year's BG!
I've always played fiddler on the green finger picked because I never thought in 1,000 I could pick it fast enough. Here Jon is doing it like shit's nothing. IMPRESSIVE
Honestly Blind Guardian needs to bring this vocal group on tour so they can do more songs that Hansi just can't do alone. But goddamn, the energy here. You can *tell* the time is right for Demons & Wizards to be back, like you can feel the energy and passion Jon and Hansi both have, wanting to be there performing like this. They haven't looked this proud to be performing music live with their own respective bands in close to a decade.
Salute to those boys Hansi and Schaffer!! They still rock SO DAMN HARD after so many years. They put 99% of today's popular radio "music" to shame EASY.
Damn Hansi is such an amazing vocalist! He often has to take care of his voice anf step back a little from the hard screams, but he obviously poured all his heart into this performance!
I love Hansi's voice, it's powerful, it reminds me of Imaginations from the other side years. I'm looking forward to hearing the new album on February, 21th of 2020.
It was one of the most incredible moments ever. We went to Germany pretty much JUST for this set (also the Wacken Promised Land etc.), and it was unforgettable.
Fidder is my favorite song, and I love Crimson King very much too ))) DEMONS & WIZARDS is just best metal band with best vocalist in the world! Their music stole up to my heart most close
I know two of them are vocalists for Ayreon. Marcella Bovio is one, and John Jaycee Cuijpers is the other. I don't recognize the other two vocalists. The keyboardist, might be a LUL too (Joost van den Broek, also from Ayreon).
Hansi’s scream at 11:33 - almost perfectly replicating the original from when he was 20 years younger - proves we’re seeing Jesus at work. I love Bruce Dickinson but in his 50s he can’t come anywhere near to replicating the high notes from the early albums. Hansi is just on another level. Unbelievable.
Come on man, I love Hansi's voice but I wouldn't really call that a fair comparison considering Bruce Dickinson had and recovered from throat cancer and his voice hasn't been quite the same since. I'm sure if Hansi had throat cancer his voice would also suffer.
Dude, that's a bit of a cheap shot considering that Bruce had throat cancer. Also, Bruce is in his 60s and for him to be performing at a high level for his age is just fucking incredible. Have some respect!
I think Bruce what at his best in the early 2000s. He was a lot more theatrical and powerful sounding when he was younger, but he didn't have the control he acquired in his later years.
@@Ceabrus74 Yeah, Bruce has been a far better/smarter/more listenable singer this millennium than in the previous one despite losing some range and power. He could do a lot in the 80s but his artistic choices are endlessly better now.
That ending of Fiddler was so epic. Demons and Wizards/Blind Guardian/Iced Earth are those unique bands that are actually better live, which speaks VOLUMES
To put this into context: ~30 min earlier they played this song, however Hansi stopped the crow after like 2 min. Seemed like they forgot to plan in the obligatory 5+ min for the chorus.
Estuve ahí con mi novia y algunos amigos. La mejor experiencia que he vivido por lejos en mi vida, y viendo a las leyendas vivientes de hansi y Jon. Greetings from Chile touched by the crimson King yeeaah \m/
I would have been properly losing my shit during Crimson King. I wonder if most in the audience were able to really appreciate the opportunity they just got to witness that. We have waited so long...
Again, again, again, I listen to this. I hope they are all good friends and will keep doing such great performances! I love how the crowd let them know how happy they are having them at WACKEN!
Excellent show! The ending to fiddler on the green gave me goosebumps. Would have loved to hear when the crowd sang the bards song after this, but the video would have been too long
Who would win: A Swedish soldier with metal abs, an operatic German werewolf, and a Scottish prince with a warhammer or Some middle-aged guy with a button down shirt
RIP Demons and Wizards , you'll be missed in the whole metal comunity 🤘🏻😪
Let's hope Jon would be acquitted and D&W would go on
@@memmori1 Amen! 💕🙏🇺🇸
It is a pitty that Kürsch and many more in the metal scene are such pussies

Hansi is still badass! He could sing a Telephone book and it would sound awesome as well
lol!
Telephone book. Jesus Christ we are old
@@gft1913 lol
😂😂
still? he got better!
Fiddler on the green is one of the best heavy metal ballad of last 20 years
*of all time
Dauerschleife.. so ein geiler Song
together with the bards song!
Of last 50 years too
How right you guys are! 🎸👍💯 I literally never get tired of listening to that masterpiece of a song🎹🎵🎶💯
6:49 - Hansi: "I can tell you, it won't be another 19 years before we come back"
well kinda looks that way 🙃
Maybe Schaffer will get a probation
Algorithm go brrrrrr
lol good catch.
Since Hansi just left Demons & Wizards, we can assume that the words were kinda true
@@Ssorca Not gonna happen. He allegedly used bear spray (heavy-duty pepper spray) on DC/Capitol police. Guessing he'll do at least 3 to 5 years, maybe more, due to the other 5 lesser charges.
When people recognize Marcela Bovio, John Jaycee Cuijpers and Joost van den Broek.
Ahhhhh I see... A man of culture...
Thanks to Arjen ;)
Impressive his performance by far the best show of the wacken 2019
Top 2, with Slayer. I can't decide but both of them where awesome
You mean THEIR performance? 💕🙏🇺🇸
The picking hand of Schaeffer is it's own sentient being!
I heard that it is controlled by the grand spatial architects !
One of my faves, of course I might be biased lol.
@iLike Labradors Hetfield's the master of the down stroke, but he'd never be able to get Jon's muted sound, which is pretty singular.
Hansi screams , I cry 😂 THAT MANS VOCALS ARE INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL. I cannot believe I was there . He gets me crying literally .

im amazed that his voice has lasted so long. it sounds like its a struggle keeping that range up so many years. love me some Demons and wizards!

@@WALDENSOFTWARE Legacy was a damn treat
One of the best voices and one of the best right hand. The result? Magic.
Rofl
Jon Schaffer is one of the most underrated guitarist, his right hand is up there with the other greats.
I've always played fiddler on the green finger picked because I never thought in 1,000 I could pick it fast enough. Here Jon is doing it like shit's nothing. IMPRESSIVE
Dave Davidson sweep picking arpeggio. Training it’s the secret.
No doubt. One of the fastest picking hands ever
Nah fuck that, Jon is better than the greats, as far as rhythm playing goes. Best rhythm guitarist to ever live, nobody else has that wrist dexterity.
@@CriticsConfession Scott Ian does he's a machine!

Actual live backing vocals! That's great.
The 3:15 - 4:15 worths more than the whole discography of some artists.
What a voice. It never gets old. Pure BRILLANCE.
It is truly true what Arjen Lucassen said that Hansi's voice is so powerful and majestic. It seems that he screams from a mountain.
lol
I have to admit, some tears came down my face near the end of Fiddler of the Green, thanks Hansi for your freaking voice.
Jon Schaffer, what a legend
I respect him more. For our freedom. Look at the world now. Fuckedd
Salute to those boys Hansi and Schaffer!! They still rock SO DAMN HARD after so many years. They put 99% of today's popular radio "music" to shame EASY.
Damn Hansi is such an amazing vocalist! He often has to take care of his voice anf step back a little from the hard screams, but he obviously poured all his heart into this performance!
I see Jon Schaffer brought Jake Dreyer from Iced Earth over.
The guy is a monster guitarist,check out his own band Witherfall,they´re great.
I don't know Witherfall but will check them out now!: )
Awesome band like a mix between Nevermore and King Diamond.
On their off. youtube channel,they have both their studio albums in full-lenght.
I love Hansi's voice, it's powerful, it reminds me of Imaginations from the other side years. I'm looking forward to hearing the new album on February, 21th of 2020.
Thats my 47th birthday.
Nice b-day present.
Never heard the solo of the Fiddler to be soooo goood !!!! Brought tears to my eyes ...
Yannis Kouretas Jake plays it better than the record
@@lo3572 I regret to say that I didn't know Jake until Jon brought him over to D&W! He's an amazing talent.
I can feel you 🙏🖤
Jon comeback ! We're with you. Shame on century media. Iced Earth Rules, resistance has always been the hallmark of the group.
I would have lost my absolute shit when they started Fiddler...love that track....to see it liv is really special...Hansi is a monster...
I saw them play it in Chicago and it was so good!
It was one of the most incredible moments ever. We went to Germany pretty much JUST for this set (also the Wacken Promised Land etc.), and it was unforgettable.
Fidder is my favorite song, and I love Crimson King very much too )))
DEMONS & WIZARDS is just best metal band with best vocalist in the world! Their music stole up to my heart most close
Omg he did the scream on Fiddler On The Green! Also people singing Valhalla at the end, awesome
The guitar solo of Fiddler on the green is so touching :´)
14:37 La bandera de Costa Rica lml
Jon Schaffer is in my opinion the best metal guitar player!!! amazing work
Hansin should invite these backing vocals to blind guardian tours.
I know two of them are vocalists for Ayreon. Marcella Bovio is one, and John Jaycee Cuijpers is the other. I don't recognize the other two vocalists. The keyboardist, might be a LUL too (Joost van den Broek, also from Ayreon).
One of the best live solos I have seen in the Fiddler....
I love that they had actual back up singers, and not just using the tracks from the albums. Amazing.🤘
Hansi 2019: Next year will be better!
2020: Lemme show you
Still, Glad to see Demons & Wizards at Wacken! I love their music!
2021: XDDDDD
fiddler on the green is one of the best metal songs ever written ! a masterpiece
11:34 AMAZING!!!!!
BLURAY/DVD with the full show come on Hansi and Jon make it happen for the fans
Who has DVDs anymore? Come on, man! HD DVD is where it's at. JK! I knew what you meant.
Still waiting...this needs to happen!

Lol no
Wacken open air
Isso sim é um festival de respeito
Só reúne os gigantes do metal
Demons and Wizards sonzera
There is never a need for an excuse to chant VALHALLA
To put this into context: ~30 min earlier they played this song, however Hansi stopped the crow after like 2 min. Seemed like they forgot to plan in the obligatory 5+ min for the chorus.
@@themasterofdisastr1226lol yeah when I saw guardian live they couldn't stop the crowd that shit went on for close to ten minutes 😂
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
So the pyrotechnics almost blew Jon's face off at the end of Crimson king.
Close call
Yeah, funny!
Looking at his face, he totally realized.
Yes, he quickly looked away!
Man. I wish I had been at this show. The backing choir made it so much better than the show I saw.
COOL SOLO!
The Guitars at the end... Omg!
Estuve ahí con mi novia y algunos amigos. La mejor experiencia que he vivido por lejos en mi vida, y viendo a las leyendas vivientes de hansi y Jon. Greetings from Chile touched by the crimson King yeeaah \m/

i mean damn, a new album after 15 years. these are the good times.
11:34 Oooh yes!!! I waited for it!!!!!
Lol
Was für ein geiler Abend. 🤘👍
Phantastisch. Dankeschön.
It sounds like angels singing in the background at fiddler on the green. And the god himself on the microphone!...
Marcus Siepen fucking killed it on bass.
5:58 Oh Jon, be carefull with that pyro!!!
Saw them in Portland, OR back in August. Best show I've ever been to.
that last song gave me goosebumps, I mean it litterally.
The ending of Fiddler on the Green blew my mind,simply amazing
Hansi is a beast.
John Schaffer's a beast.
At least blind guardian still exists as a band
If I had to choose only one most beautiful voice of metal it would be the one of Hansi. And may Matt Barlow forgive me :)
O que se ve nessa apresentação é algo sem precedentes na historia do wacken, simplesmente emocionante.
Que performance, claro que a junção de 2 gigantes como Hansi e Jon Schaffer iria nos mostrar uma verdadeira obra prima. Demons & Wizards
Wow, Marcus Siepen playing bass?! Hansi hasn't sounded that well in decades live and the songs profit immensely from the backing vocals.
come on decades?
That finale gave me chills.
I would kill to see Down Where I Am live like this.
Hansi probably at his peak right now. just fucking insane vocals
can we just apreciate that they came in perfectly without someone counting off, just hansi raising his fist:P
This video needs WAY more views! This is perfection of live ballad performance!
Que impresionante presentación! Por este tipo de demostración artística es que amamos el género
Again, again, again, I listen to this. I hope they are all good friends and will keep doing such great performances! I love how the crowd let them know how happy they are having them at WACKEN!
They included the tease about appearance on next year's Wacken ha. I'll probably get to see them again!
Excellent show! The ending to fiddler on the green gave me goosebumps.
Would have loved to hear when the crowd sang the bards song after this, but the video would have been too long
Wacken has complete shows on their channel. The video wouldn't have been too long.
@@Lilly-Schmitt link? I looked couldn't find it.
both of them living legends. respect Hansi and Jon!
Now this is METAL kids!!!!!
Man war das geil dort gewesen zu sein😍
Danke 🤘🐮🤘 Live is better then YT
New album kicks serious ass!! Ebs and flows! This Wacken performance should be released in full for home viewing epicness
Who would win:
A Swedish soldier with metal abs, an operatic German werewolf, and a Scottish prince with a warhammer
or
Some middle-aged guy with a button down shirt
me. I would win. that much good music in one spot???
But to be honest: all the other shows you mentioned were also quite good.
But this show was by far the best
Hail to the Master Jon Schaffer!!!!!
Los amo.. De corazón y con mucha fe le pido a Dios que vengan a Mexico a dar un tours...
Jon "Riffmeister" Schaffer
We need this more and more! love this band btw fidler on the green is one of the most incredible lyrics i've listened to
I needed this today! Epic Metal Moment🤘😎🤘
Hansi hat für Jon das Lied vom guten Kameraden gesungen. Bombastisch!
These riffs are on another level
Ah metal, you cutie little thing... Enter your brains and shakes up your soul! 🤘🤘
Amoooo essa banda vtnc
O tipo de música que faz você viajar sem sair do lugar /,,/
thank you for reuniting.
Ich hoffe auf Konzerte dieses Jahr, die Band ist außergewöhnlich hammer gut!!!
Que grande Es ver a estos dos maestros haciendo metal...
I might be wrong,but i think this is the first video of them singing the crimson king live on youtube.
There is a live performance of DaW @ Hellfest 2019. Not sure if they played Crimson King thou.
WACKEN TV YOU WILL GIVE US THE WHOLE SET AND YOULL DO IT RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole performace is still online: As a livestream on the Telekom website:

Was für ein geiles Konzert und eine geile Band!!!
SO fucking amazing! Loved being there!
So this is waht life was like pre-covid
Das ist wunderbar! Ich liebe Hansi! Er ist sehr gut!
That was epic.
