Was there. It was amazing of course. Like it always is with MANOWAR. They recorded this song in 1988 and this was in Bad Arolsen in Germany in 2008. The choir are the same that was on the album 20 years before. Those who were still alive. At this festival MANOWAR played two nights in a row and played every song from their first six albums. It was epic. You MUST check out Battlehymn live at Earthshaker festival 2005. All then present and former band members together on stage with choir and symphony orchestra. That was the ultimate metal moment ever. Was in the frontline.
@@MrsRealistic check out their album Kings of Metal from 88 not MMXIV their re-recorded release of 14. Its an album u can fully listen to without skipping tracks.
Underrated? No way. We grew with these bands they were the kings of metal, at different levels of hardness each. Manowar, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Metallica.. They aged like everyone of us and musical taste differed also in time. But one thing im sure they were known by every metal music lover feon each corner of the world. Im talking about the times before internet:) Megadeth and Manowar had the most artistic album covers, printed onto shorts also.
If someone will go Valhalla, it must be Eric and he will be VIP there. He is legend. There is only one Manowar and they are no question, for me... Kings of Metal.
This is the kind of song that still gives you goosebumps the 500th time you listen to it. It's that magical. It's an homage to Wagner and his Ring cycle. P.s. That gesture is called the Sign of the Hammer.
They reached 139db in volume at the Magic Circle Festival in 2008. The highest band volume ever recorded. That was at the soundcheck though. They had to turn it down for the gig, as that is far beyond the pain threshold. A jet taking off only reaches 130db. I saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1984 and they were so loud a chunk of plaster came down off the ceiling. Also saw them at the Marquee 1994 when they set a venue volume record. No wonder my hearing is not what it was, haha
I've been to my first Manowar concert over 30 years ago. I saw them last year and even though I can't really afford it, I'm thinking about going next year. I don't listen to them very often anymore but they are on of the best live bands I know. Eric wanted to retire for years now, so who knows if there will be another change to see them.
Thank you for sharing. I agree with your take as well. To me at least, Manowar has two defining themes that resonate: 1) We have the power to overcome what stands in our way. With resolve, discipline & courage we can be all we want to be. 2) Manowar is bigger than the individual. Country, language and ethnic backgrouds are irrelevant. We respect eachother and are unified in the music. Together as brothers and sisters we become more. That is a message that especially important in the world today.
Wow! I don't remember Manowar from the 80s sounding like this. This was awesome. I always thought they were kinda posers back then compared to bands like Iron Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Mercyful Fate, and so on. So I don't think I gave them a fair chance. I'm going to have to go back and re listen so some of those older albums.
Well I'm glad you're getting to revisit them! I am shocked that I didn't find out about them until someone requested I do Warriors of the World! I listened to metal all through my teen years and never heard them! Well if I did, I don't remember!
Start with Sign of the Hammer. Their best, in my opinion, four absolute classics and the production is dated but not too raw, like Battle Hymns. There are a bunch of live albums from the late 90s and 2000s with really good sound.
greetings and love from Cologne, Germany again. With a few tears rolling down, I enjoyed your reaction to this beautiful performance. Thanks for coming back to Manowar, one of my favorite bands, next to Iron Maiden, since the mid-80s. The same feelings were awakened in me in relation to the band and their bond with the fans, as with you. But I could never have described and expressed it the way you did. I think, based on some reactions I've seen from you, that you gonna love the performance to "Swords in the Wind" by Manowar as much as this one. Even though I'm not a Patreon, I would recommend this song to you and would be grateful if you would react to it. In case I will be happy to send you the link. ua-cam.com/video/tkPlBf91Ysc/v-deo.htmlsi=T5k-5Kfgd0qpoQi6 Have a peaceful day, my dear and again, Thank You, stay save..........All Hail, Manowar
Saw them at The Thirsty Whale in '88 or '89. I love loud metal, but that place was WAY too small for the volume Manowar was putting out. I actually had to step back and sit at the bar for most of the show.
There are 2 great versions you would love inside a cathedral of this Manowar song Inspiration Community Choir - The Crown and the Ring choir and Inspiration Choir -Army of the Dead/Crown and the Ring
I don't remember division like this when I was younger. We all joked with each other, we all got along if we liked the same things...but now it's left vs. right, black vs. white, etc...And I think the elites like it that way. It's good for getting votes.
@@MrsRealistic there are no „elites“ who want something. Money rules the world. Fascism is the highest form of capitalism. Poor workers, slave labour…, death. We had all this already. Greetings from Germany. Don’t vote for Trump. Let us all be friends again.
Hail from the uncorrupted free state of Florida. I am a military member here and this is the song that runs through my head every time I put on my armor.
@@MrsRealistic Nice. also I did mistake. Cos power metal is my favorite, to be Manowarior or in Nightwish army is almost the same. Do you know, that Floor Jansen meried the drummer from Sabaton, another not simfoic, but even more power mettal!!!! Check the song "Ghost division".!
All those flags in the crowd are related to other great Manowar songs like: Our armies in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales Our brothers in Belgium, Holland and France will not fail Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy Switzerland, Austria back to the glory of Germany
Nothing about Bulgaria in the lyrics, but they sang the Bulgarian national anthem here and it was mind blowing. And they also won the Guinness World Record for longest concert again here. So they have their army in Bulgaria as well.
To continue with the Manowar journey, try Heart of Steel, Guyana, Mountains, Courage, The Gods Made Heavy Metal and Master of the Wind. These are some songs from their most creative period, not very fast paced.
You need some Dan Vasc In your life check out his metal version of My heart will go on or his Amazing Grace it has 13 million. Views and he has over one million subs there is a reason he is the best on utube we are Vasc Nation he has 245 covers and Man a war as well can’t beat his voice he is classicaly trained as well and taught for a long time we will wait love ya Dan hs a metal scream that you won’t believe
Proud to be a loyal Manowar fan
a true band with true fans
Incredibles MANOWAR! Heil from Italy!
Hail to KINGS OF METAL💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥
Hail from Spain, my brothers 🤘🤘
I cant hear this masterpiece without cry..... Thanks manowar ❤
Same here!!

We need Manowar - Heart of steel
Thank you! I'll look it up!

Such a underrated band
It's honestly amazing I had never heard of them before a few months ago, considering I listened to tons of heavy metal in the 80's!

How is Manowar underrated??? "Underrated" is the most overused word on YT

Was at the same gigs. Ross and Scott then dave and rhino
That's crazy!!

How amazing that you get to see them live... with such a huge gap in between! There's only a few bands who stuck together that long!
Tea rs of Happines. Always are awsome!
My favorites are "Kingdom Come", "Heart Of Steel" and this one
i could only say "carry on" with the manowar reactions \m/
Thanks! I've gotten some great suggestions!
@@MrsRealistic woop woop! :D
I WAS THERE
42 different countries were represented at this concert
That's AMAZING!!!

1982-1992 their glory years
This took place on July 12th, 2008 so when the singer Eric Adams had his 56th birthday
Well he looked darn good for 56!
Eric has such a magical voice

I can imagine! They need to be in HUGE venues!

Sabaton, covered a ManOwaR song, "Kingdom Come" the band names ManOwaR as one of their influences.
That sounds epic! Thank you!
Back on '08 we all were friends. Times changed so fast. Sad.

Sign of the Hammer 🔨 All Hail
It's because most of ManOwaR songs are to their fans they are devoted to their fan it's a brother's and sisters band of warriors
Still have "Carry On" & "Violence & Bloodshed" on my playlist. Great band!! You should check out "Carry on" 🤘😎🤘
Thank you! 😁

Do yourself a favor, and watch the Live Wacken Video of Blind Guardian with The Bards song and Valhalla...
You will not be disappointed...

Great! Thank you!! 😁
Total cult from 1980! Eric sings from 1965...
