    Well,....Blind Guardian has been here for a while.
    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. Nine musicians have been a part of the band's line-up in its history, which currently consists of singer Hansi Kürsch, guitarists André Olbrich and Marcus Siepen and, since 2005, drummer Frederik Ehmke.
    So,...The Bard's song... medieval is a correct term, forget everything core-related!
    In Celtic cultures, a "BARD" is a professional storyteller, verse-maker, music composer, oral historian and genealogist, employed by a patron (such as a monarch or chieftain) to commemorate one or more of the patron's ancestors and to praise the patron's own activities.
    This song is about the bard's life... Each day finds them in a new place, where no one knows who they are. All they know is the songs the bards sing and the worlds they are taken to by them. When it's all said and done the bards pack up and moves on, no one to ever know their name, only the stories they brought with them. It's about how they did it all for the music and the stories. And the bard's songs will remain. In my thoughts and in my dreams.
    AND next,... Valhalla !!!
    "Valhalla" is Old Norse and it means "halls of the slain". In Norse Mythology it's where Odin and the Valkyries (Floor 😉) lived and where the souls of warriors fallen in battle went. And then at Ragnarök (the end of the world) they all get to fight Jormungandr and Fenrir (Floor's "little" dog is named after this beast of a Wolf 🙃).
    Like all of Blind Guardian's other songs, this one is a little cryptic. The basic idea is obvious but because they lyrics don't use many names and they describe nothing except for feelings and atmosphere.

    Some of the sweetest guys in metal! When the plectrum thrown at me (who very clearly is a super fan) missed Frederik (the drummer) came over and handed me a stick himself and tapped André (founding guitarist) and Hansi to come over and shake my hand too :D
    Two weeks later I ended up in a different country for my studies and went to another show of theirs...Hansi actually recognized me in the front row and security invited me to come to the back and have a chat with him for a few minutes! To be fair I am female, have short colourful hair and a facial disfigurement so I am easy to pick out of a Blind Guardian crowd lol
    They are a fantastic band, no bad albums or performances from them.
    Fun fact: There is a toxic sea slug named after the founding guitarist André Olbricht: Clavus andreolbrichi :D
    The other slugs that scientist named are for David Gilmoure, Kirk Hamett and Brian May who are much more famous!

    What Hans was saying, before the drummer took over:
    "Sounds great!
    I think, Magnus has worked enough. We can now bring Fredric into the game.
    Therefore you should be singing a bit louder."

    BG is one of the most influential Power Metal bands of all time and at Wacken, arguably the greatest metal festival in the world, they are GODs! Go down the rabbit hole, I am 100% sure you will regret nothing! PS: Hansi Kürsch, the lead singer is alegend, their drums are sick and André Olbrich, the lead guitarist, is on every Top 100 guitarists of all time list... for a reason I guess! ^^

      I was at wacken twice and it is definitely not the greatest metal festival. not even one of the best. It's insanely expensive, too big and the weather always sucks. there are many festivals in germany alone, that are way better than wacken. You should rather visit something like summer breeze or rockharz instead of this commercial bloated festival

Working his ass off to affort life for him and his lovely family but has always a smile on his face, when he dicovers ne "Western" things. He is almost obsessed with it but still nowing his roots and is just a pure Familyman.

    Only just saw them last weekend on a comparatively tiny festival in Belgium, but the crowd also knew the lyrics to most of the songs - and they were tight as ever.
    The solo's are pretty much the same every time, which imo adds to the general sense of recognising the songs as a listener: you know where you are in the songs and what's coming next (to sing along).

    The 3 guitar solos: They are not random but always the same (except maybe when it comes to differences over the years. the song is old and I dunno if the live performance did get some facelift over the years).
    Also note the precision between the drummer and the guitarist. That's some german precision for you xD

I'd say about 1/3 of the audience knew the lyrics, but it made it seem like everyone were singing along. The closest to a religious experience I've ever had.

    I was really late to the Blind Guardian party. But I really appreciate that it's power metal (that's the genre, btw) about fantasy and sword and sorcery and tolkien and nerdy shit. We're in a world now where it's super trendy to take fantasy situations and put a epic soundtrack behind it, but when these guys came on the scene that was still kinda taboo.
