  • "And Then There Was Silence" tells the story of Cassandra's visions of the coming Trojan War. Apollo gave her the gift of prophecy, but later he cursed her so that no one would ever believe her predictions. So she had to watch helpless while the Greeks conquered Troy and destroyed it.
    The song was inspired by Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid.
    This video is taken from the DVD "Imaginations Through the Looking Glass", which was recorded in Coburg 2003 and released in 2004.
    Please support Blind Guardian and purchase their current album "At The Edge Of Time".
    ----------
    "And Then There Was Silence" erzählt die Geschichte von Kassandras Visionen über den kommenden Trojanischen Krieg. Apollo gab ihr die Gabe der Vorhersehung, verfluchte sie später aber, sodass niemals jemand ihren Vorhersagen Glauben schenkte. So musste sie hilflos mit ansehen, wie die Griechen Troja eroberten und zerstörten.
    Das Lied wurde von Homers Illias und Odyssee und Vergils Aeneis inspriert.
    Dieses Video stammt von der DVD "Imaginations Through the Looking Glass", die 2003 in Coburg aufgenommen und 2004 veröffentlich wurde.
    Bitte unterstützt Blind Guardian und kauft euch ihr aktuelles Album "At The Edge Of Time"!

    Great performance of that mother of all "songs that won't ever work live". I saw them do this in Montréal years ago and I gotta say, youtube just can't capture it.

    In a world of music made by advertisers, watered down pop rebellion and over saturated gimmicky indie markets, this stands as a reminder that somewhere out there, music still matters to some people. That it's still artistic, genuine and appreciated for being what it is. This reminds ME why I love music so much and why I built a life on it.

    Blind Guardian are one of a very small handfull of bands who manage to craft a live performance that truely and completely engulfs those experiencing it. I mean, how many other bands get crowd reactions like they do? And to even attempt a song as massive as this LIVE, and to do it successfully, is a feat few other bands would match. They played in South Africa in 2008 (AGAIN something few metal bands can say!!!) and performed this song...it was truely an incredible experience.

    I like his clear voice more he had at that time than his rough voice now. Nowadays he doesn't sing that high live than 2003 for example. That's a pity... :-(

    • @pablojosegarciacounago7265
      @pablojosegarciacounago7265 6 років тому +1

      in certain moments he does, but he said that using those high notes so often was dangerous for him. So now he uses them only in especific moments of the shows. Instead, he more often uses a combation of his raspy and powerful voice , falsetto and his soft folk voice.

    while i love blind guardian and this song is awesome and they sound amazing live, i must say, i have been a bit spoiled by the album version. the problem is that they made such an intricate song that the four of them alone couldn't possibly do it full justice. it'd be like one man trying to play an entire symphony live. it won't work out. though they are still amazing enough to be able to pull it off as well as they did. it's amazing live, but not nearly as amazing as how it originally was
