Talking about Hansi's appearance: He used to have long hair and wear black jumpers. But since he is in his 50s now, the short hair and the shirt suit him well.
He is the least looking metal guy with the most powerful power metal voice
The fun thing is, when the crowd heads back to their tents they chant "VALHALLA" all the way :D
Legend says, they sing it still today ;)
It was stuck in my head for two years after I saw them.
There is an older video of Valhalla live that is even crazier. The crowd wouldn't let it end, they kept going after the song was over.
That is the norm
This video just got cut short
Interesting
Blind Guardian one of the original (1984) mythic power metal bands, they are pratically a Wacken rite of passage.
The Wacken elder gods of olde. 😆🤟😎
Man I remember that day, I was there, that was almost 4 Years ago. Blind Guardian on Wacken is always kind of special just like Avantasia.
Avantasia!!!!!!
A band with over 10 albums can't be crappy right? I've seen them live here in Germany and it is always a plessure to see the dedication of the crowd. I've seen them once in Düsseldorf wich is theire hometown so it was kind of like a "homegame" and it was great. Valhalla and Bard song are alway in the lineup, the crowd will simply not leave until they play those songs. I saw once a concert and the lights were allready an at the venue and they didn't play Bards song and of a suddenthe crowed how wasn't moving home at all just started to sing the song. Consequently the light went out again, Band came out and played the song, was quiete goosebumby!
Awesome 👍😎
One time I saw them in Düsseldorf and the concert was actually over but the crowd was shouting for Majesty. So they came back out, Hansi said something about usually not working after-hours but they started playing Majesty nonetheless. It was so great 😂
I'm not from Germany so I don't really know the distance but they are from Krefeld, I know it's not that far from Düsseldorf.
@@blykynqp You are probably right, but Krefeld borders Düsseldorf. But when I saw them in Düsseldorf they said they call it a home concert, probably because there is no venue in Krefeld as big as they needed it.
There are so many songs I want to recommend. Blind Guardian has so many great ones!
For a sampling of Blind Guardian through the years, you should definitely check out Somewhere Far Beyond, Mirror Mirror, And Then There Was Silence, Fly, Wheel of Time, Sacred Mind, and so many more. It's hard to go wrong with BG.
Actually the very big metal bands are ACCEPT, Helloween and Blind Guardian from Germany were they considered pioneers at clasic metal (ACCEPT) and Power Metal (Helloween and Blind Guardian).
Ioannis Kostoulas well, there are actually so many more great German metal bands...
@@AzazelReborn81 Of course there're more great German bands. I just mentioned the most iconic in my opinion. Bands were they're still active since 80's or late 70's (like ACCEPT).
Don't forget Gamma Ray and Primal Fear.
@@justston188 I don't forget them. But they become from Helloween. The great power metal bands from Germany are so many. Like Heanen's Gate, Edguy, Freedom Call etc. I just mentioned the early bands.
Blind Guardian was one of the best metal bands ever existed. I have been at their great festival in Coburg/Frankonia in 2003(?) , that was the best I have ever seen and heard.
I was there that night and sang along. :D All members of the "Circle of the Bards" do that. :D It's something of a tradtion.
The Bard song, aka Hansi takes a break for a bit. :D
Fuck yeah!
So Bad Ass.
So glad to see you do this, too.
One of the greatest live metal bands, ever, and phenomenal crowd interaction.
This is a legendary band, truly.
Long time Blind Guardian mark. Hansi's voice, in my opinion, doesn't quite hold up live but he's still a friggin' legend (probably depends on the show). Both of these songs are really old, but no less great because of that. Valhalla was when they were basically just speed metal. They've become a super well-rounded band over the years. "Sadly Sings Destiny" is absolutely epic. Hansi's work in Demons and Wizards is worth checking out too. And as a guest in Ayreon. Ayreon is awesome, definitely you should check them out. "The Day the World Breaks Down" is a good jumping off point for Ayreon.
ayreon is a whole other loophole to jump into
If you liked it you would probrably like Demons & Wizards "Fiddler on the Green" live in Wacken". The band consist in members from Blind Guardian & Iced Earth. The song is really good starts slow and then gets heavy.
Crimson King, Blood on my hands and Terror Train are fantastic
Great reaction to one of my absolute favorite bands!
Also The Bard's Song is probably the song every Metalhead in Germany knows by heart. It's absolutely epic to be in the middle of the crowd at their Concerts. Goosebumps all over. \m/
Blind Guardian (a.k.a. Die tauben Gardinen ;) ) is one of the few metal bands almost everybody can and does agree on. I have seen everybody from part-time casual metal listeners to hardcore "trve" Black Metal types singing along to this band live with, well, tears in their eyes and a big, cheese-eating grin on their faces...
wow, not heard Blind Guardian in forever, thanks for reminding me of how much I love this music.
Blind Guardian: Kings of the crowd, Masters of sweet Transmissions and most influencing Band in Speed and Power Metall....i have seen them many times life and let me tell you: they are the best actuall Rock Band. I love this music.
One thing most people miss while watching this is, that this is a festival and that maybe only 10-20% of the people in the audience have been on any of their concerts (or have bought anything of their stuff). This is what makes festival (at least those I've been in germany) different from concerts and I really like it that way.
Concert: fans come to enjoy the bands
festival: bands come to enjoy the big crazy audience and to see how many (more) people really like/enjoy their music.
Thank you for a good reaction😁The Bard's song live is always guaranteed to deliver goosebumps🤘
Oh that second part just rocks. I couldn't help shaking my head and beating the floor with my foot.... VALHAAAAALLAAAAA....
Einfach toll 💥
15:28 🥁 und weiter ahh
The Bard's Song isn't just a beloved power metal song.
To us, it's a hymn.
|m|
Thank you for introducing me to this band!
Quote: "Blind Guardian is a German power metal band formed in 1984 in Krefeld, West Germany. They are often credited as one of the seminal and most influential bands in the power metal and speed metal subgenres."
Please react "Lord of the Rings" live from Imagiations through the Looking Glass Blind Guardian!
Go for the Wheel of time, based on a series of books by Robert Jordan. And soon to be a Amazone and Sony web series. Any song from Nightfall in Middle-Earth.
Loved the books as well as the music. ;)
I grew up with WoT and the series holds a special place in my heart
25 years since I discovered Blind Guardian and I think it's quite amazing that songs from 1992 and 1989 are still the highlight of their concerts
The Bard is more a prayer than a song.
Another good one. I've been a fan of them for years. My favorite from them is probably Wheel of Time
Great reaction to this German institution . Scorpions & Rammstein are great too, but don't forget Accept! One of the best German metal bands of all time! Cheers!
Hi from the UK something for you to check out
Ayreon age of shadows Marco (Nightwish ) hansi blind guardian) floor nightwish
Ayreon the eye of Ra floor Jansen and her sister irene plus all the guest singers on the same concert
This is the history of power / speed metal music. I'm waiting for the next legend, Helloween :)
I´ve been there, that day, that moment, and the energy you feel when almost 70.000 metalheads sing along the same song is absolutley amazing.
And i hope you have recognized that the whole band is wearing casual clothes ^^
W:O:A for life
Wait until you hear "Age of Shadows" from Ayreon, featuring Marco and Floor from Nightwish and this singer all together!
Ayreon is a power group that features some of the best talents in symphonic and prog metal 🤘
Nice, but also Valley of the Queen, with Marcela, Anneke and Floor
Blind Guardian is the only band that helps the audience when they are singing a song.
ITs Goosebump time standing in the crowd during the Bardsong and singing along - i have done it more then once ... hope covid 19 is gone soon so i can see them again ...
That band is my favorite since 2004
Hansi Kürsch also contributes on Ayreon albums and the Ayreon Universe live concert. Floor Jansen from Nightwish, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden, Simone Simons from Epica, Sharon den Adel from Within Temptation and many other musicians did also.
this is it!! ur Amaricans has an unbelievible knowing of rock and matal musik ...i love u :))
Every BG concert was just like this... also every afterparty of rpg conventions are like this too. Bard's Song is the official RPG anthem, all fans and rpg'ers know this song.
He looks like a million dollars really! Saw them in a small club in
Gothenburg back in 1996, wonderful tight little performance with about
150 people or so (grunge had killed metal a few years earlier, Iron
Maiden had a concert in Gothenburg that year too....for around 700
people..)
Hey Johnny, sehr echt cool das Du auch nun bei Guardian angekommen bist, Guardian war für mich als Teenager ein ständiger Begleiter neben Nightwish vor allem ihre Tolkien basierten Themenalben :)
und was Herrn Kürsch angeht, na ja der hatte mal Matte und etwas Bart, aber na ja die Zeit ging halt auch nicht ganz an ihm vorbei
Beste Grüsse und bleib fit
Kai "the Dark Poet"
Vielen Dank Kai. ☺️👌
check out MIRROR MIRROR....AMAZING SONG!
VALHALLA! Deliverance!
The best live band.
You are not just watching a live, you are taking part!
Good song. My first time hearing this band, so thanks.
Avantasia - Let the storm descend upon you
Blind Guardian is a Power- and Speedmetal Band from Krefeld/Germany, my Hometown. They formed in 1984 with then Name Lucifer's Heritage and changed the Name 1987 in Blind Guardian.
PS: Another famous Band from Germany is Powerwolf
Wacken is the holy grail for every metal band!
SABATON!!!
Thank you very much!
Goosebumbs!
There are songs....that you listen them first time when you were a kid! And these songs accompany you to the rest of your life!....One of this is the Bard's Song!
I wish Hansi and Devin would do something together.
The great Hansi! Check out Demons & Wizards - Fiddler on the Green (live in Wacken) - he sings there too.
Alright people, here we go...
VALHALLA....... DELIVERANCE....
And you should check that live version of the song : ua-cam.com/video/CZ_VFJn2kJM/v-deo.html
The ending is even more epic !
If you pass Wacken grounds and if you listen carefully, you can still here them singing !!
Yaaay!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Oh yeah, Blind guardian, one of the coolest bands with the greatest crowds. There is another live video, of this songs, where the crowd won't stop singing, the corous, so great!! If you like this style Hammerfall- Heeding the call! You won't regret this!
They are known under the name Blind Guardian since 1987, before that they had an other name. They play speed, thrash, symphonic and progressive metal. You can't press them in one genre... they were my first metal bands i ever heard in the 90's. Maybe you wanna react to Mirror, Mirror, Mordreds Song, Somwhere far beyond, Lord of the Rings, Nightfall on Middle Earth, And than there was silence.... etc. There are so many great songs of them...
If it helps, this was my first Festival beck then and I also didn't know the lyrics. Didn't matter though, my roommate did and she sang for both of us XD
Beste Performance, Herr Oberfeldwebel 😎🤘🏼.
Grüße aus Bremen
Dude I totally share your experience. I'm also from Germany and I only learned a shot time ago that they are German and I never listened to them. But they are so fucking amazing...
Ok,Blind Guardian hast du jetzt...als Nächstes jetzt das HELLOWEEN Reunion Konzert in Wacken...ais Auftakt dann direkt die 13 Minuten HALLOWEEN Version !!!
Genau👍
Hansi Kursch also contributes to Ayreon albums and the Ayreon Universe live concert.
Floor Jansen (Nightwish), Simone Simons (Epica), Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) and many other very well known hard rock and metal musicians did also.
See the channel of Arjen Anthony Lucassen, he is Ayreon, and many other UA-cam channels.
You should really check out the Wacken 2019 gig of Demons & Wizards, Hansi's side project with Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer, as long as it's still available on Magenta Musik (still 3 months to go). Absolutely fantastic music (great sound!) and show, and they played some stuff from their respective bands as well, including a certain song where Hansi pretended to be totally surprised when the crowd didn't stop chanting xD
Was there and it was a dream come true. This was a magical evening, which I will never forget.
At Wachen even the Years they are NOT playing, you can hear Bards Song among the Tents in the Evening.
They established in 1984 and I'd say it's mainly power metal along with some crosse over to other styles
You can cleary hear the Dio and Iron Maiden influence with this band.
I recommend Mirror Mirror. The live performance on Imaginations through the looking glass. Its fu** awesome
The Bards Song is a Blind Guardian staple. Everybody knows the full lyrics to that song. It is our kumbaya. ^^
The Band Blind Gardian came from Hildesheim
Ich weiß ja nicht, warum alle Leute immer zu diesem Video reagieren, wenn die Performance von Imaginations through the looking glass so viel besser ist.
Yes please do Ayreon. It will blew your mind away.
See, did I promise too much? Now the goddess and queen:Poppy!
Blind Guardian were called Lucifer's Heritage at first from 84-86 or so, since that it was always Blind Guardian and they really came into their own by Tales From the Twilight World ('90), which is where they started to lean more towards power metal, the two previous albums ('88 & '89) had been more or less speed. I've been following them for about 15 years now, haha. They were my first real power metal love so they'll always have a place in my heart.
Bin fast ein wenig schockiert, dass Du Blind Guardian tatsächlich vorher nicht kanntest. Ich hab The Bard's Song als Teenager das erste Mal gehört (und geliebt) und dachte das Lied kennt jeder. 😂
I saw the in 2006 in California AWESOME 🤘😎🤘
Other legendary bands that play this style from your own country: Helloween (the granddaddy of them all), Gamma Ray, Iron Savior, Masterplan. Germany is the birthplace of power metal basically. Blind Guardian started in the late 80's and sounded like early Helloween at first, but then developed their own brand of power metal.
It's funny that an ad for Assassin's Creed Valhalla came up just as the Viking ship was being shown.
Mirror, Mirror and Nightfall (from same album) is what got me into Blind Guardian all those years ago =}
Also in the same genre, should check out Iced Earth, personal favourites is Burning Times, The Hunter, Travel in Stygian and favourite live song is Dente's Inferno (Alive in Athens)
Blind Guardian. My other favourite band. YESSS
Liked how you were as carried away by this performance as i was :D If you realy want to hear what Hansi's voice an Blind Guardian are capable of when mixed with come greater orchestra i recomand you t react to their "children of the smith" ;)
Ahhhhhhhhhhh... my youth!
No other fans are as loyal and commited as Metal Fans.
You witnessed history :D i saw them ages ago when he still was with long hair :P
I have been listening to Blind Guardian and dozens of power metal bands for about a little over a decade now. Their first album, officially as Blind Guardian, was released in 1988. From those beginnings they incorporated a lot of fantasy and historical themes in their lyrics (a staple of powermetal!), but their musical style was more like speed metal with thrash elements. However, since their album Imaginations From the Other Side (1995), I would say most listeners would categorize them as a power metal band, and more recently even a symphonic power metal band. They are consistently regarded as power metal pioneers, along with Helloween and others.
My top recommendations for another reaction?
1. Mirror Mirror (often regarded as their "best" song)
2. Nightfall
3. Battlefield
4. Bright Eyes
Other power metal bands to check out:
1. Helloween (first song recommendation: "Future World") ALSO GERMAN
2. Stratovarius (first song recommendation: "Black Diamond")
3. Gloryhammer (first song recommendation: "Universe on Fire")
4. Hammerfall (first song recommendation: "Renegade")
5. Kamelot (first song recommendation: "Center of the Universe')
Great video! Subscribed :)
The joke now for Hansi that I always say now is that "He's just your uncle".
They used to be speed/power metal, but gradually shifted towards a more progressive/power metal approach, though they still often incorporate fast parts or have the occasional speed metal-ish song on their albums
Never heard this style? Two names for you: Helloween and Rhapsody of Fire. And Angra, of course.
All power metal like BG. It's not the speed, it's the dynamics...
January 11 2021 and they still singing
They are two songs. The Bard's Song is from the album Somewhere far Beyond, Walhalla from the album Follow the Blind. Being from 1992 and 1989, they are some of their older songs and their style has changed a lot in the last 25 years from speed metal to power metal and symphonic metal. You see that when you listen to one of their last albums, Beyond the Red Mirror or Legacy of the Dark Lands.
If you wish some of their studio music:
And Then There Was Silence: ua-cam.com/video/HcRIGCmCoZA/v-deo.html

Dark Cloud's Rising: ua-cam.com/video/DG8IvX4WRdo/v-deo.html

if you want to talk about a dude that defies the stereotypes of metal, look no further than Muhammed Suiçmez. The live version of Fermented Offal Discharge is fucking killer.
Neben Blind Guardian solltest du auch dringend mal bei Heaven Shall Burn reinhören! Noch eine deutsche Metalband, die in den von dir erwähnten Aufzählungen kaum erwähnt wird, obwohl sie schon seit fast 25 Jahren aktiv und weltweit sogar äußerst berühmt sind.
Ihre aktuelle Platte war vor kurzem auf Platz 1 der deutschen Albumcharts, VOR Pietro Lombardi. Und das, obwohl ausnahmslos alle Bandmitglieder nebenbei einen ganz normalen Job ausüben. Der Sänger Marcus Bischoff ist zum Beispiel Krankenpfleger auf der ITS. Übrigens: die gesamte Band ernährt sich vegan.
Hier mal ein paar Songvorschläge:
Endzeit
Voice of the voiceless (Wacken)
Protector/ weakness leaving my heart (Doppelvideo zum aktuellen Album, sprich 2 Songs in einem Video)
Ach ja richtig, einen Song namens "Valhalla" haben sie auch (Blind Guardian Cover) 😉
Hi, danke dir. Ja die kenne ich noch von früher als sie noch unterwegs waren mit Parkway Drive usw. Muss ich definitiv mal wieder rein hören. 😎
Rammstein, Scorpions and...... SCOOTER :-D
Great!!! B.G is life😂🤘
Pls .. B.G - battlefield
A good Studio song to check out would be Tanelorn (into the void), from the Edge of Time Album. Punishment Divine and Soulforged from the Album A Night at the Opera are excellent too. As for what type of Metal, I once heard Hansi in an interview say the band didn't like to put a label on their music. He just told people they were a Metal Band, and left it at that. I would also recommend checking out Demons & Wizards, the side band of Hansi and Jon Shaeffer from Iced Earth. Well worth it.
Watch Mirror Mirror(Blind Guardian) Live and Prophecies are two amazing songs.
If you want orchestral melodies with guitar songs Wheel Of Time and Sacred Worlds
bards song is one of metal anthem song 😅
now Mirror Mirror Official Live
Bright eyes maybe? Mirror Mirror is cool to. Every song from Sacred worlds. Or just sacred worlds. XD
acctually EVERY song by them could be song by the audience haha
NEVER STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A SOLO!!!
