2 best things ever to happen in my life: finding out about Blind Guard; and beating 3 dragons attacking at the same time in skyrim while listening to this song
After Bruce Dickinson I put Hansi...he is truly amazing...I love this song especially the chorus...You are a pawn in the game,you are slaves to the blind oblivion...spine chilling..
I put Hansi over Bruce. When Hansi nails it then it is insane. But then again, so is Bruce. My first concert ever was in 2005, Ullevi. Check it out here on youtube, it´s all filmed
Thanks to the shit this album has got, I left it `till the very end when listening to the whole BG discography. I find it dynamic, creative, catchy and amazing. Its not a step down or fuck up after Night at The Opera (power metal masterpiece), its simply a different direction. Oh and other thing, Hansi fucking slays on the album. Frederick might not be Thomen but clearly brought new things to the table, he´s very skilled. Peace out ya´ll.
I love it but the vocals of this album are weak compared the others. And Otherland is one of my favourite books and favourite songs but the vocals of the album are not the best... The vocals of the live are awesome
No idea why either. This was their last great album. Turn the Page, Otherland, Fly/Dead Sound, Lionheart, Skalds and Shadows, Straight through the Mirror, Another Stranger Me. That's a ratio of over 50% great songs. Compare it to At the Edge of Time which is easily their worst post-Nightfall album. A Voice in the Dark, Curse My Name and Sacred Worlds, and the latter song barely counts since it was taken from a separate project. Or Beyond the Red Mirror, which despite being better than the previous album, is filled with weak choruses that don't fit the songs they're attached to. All build up with very little pay off.
Simply amazing live! the guitarists are amazing on the backing vocals which is pretty rare. One of the best live bands ive ever heard, up there with muse in my books live. Hansi's Godlike vocals are mindblowing!! Cant say enough about this band. musically orgasmic might be the best description i can come up with!
I think ive watched this video more than 100 times. this is probably the second best live performance ive seen apart from Hangar 18 (I actually went to that and it was incredible) but this is too good for words.
Ich hatte Karten aber muste Sonderschicht schieben, ich hätte kotzen können, wochenlang schlechte Laune aber danke für die ganzen Videos ,das machts dann erträglicher...
@lioubinos99 Listen to it really closely in the album version the two guitarists do a solo where one of them is hammering the notes and the other one is playing the solo he plays in this live version. So basically it's like two solos in one it's flippin epic. I mean this is sweet but the album version i was like O_O
Hehe, sie haben angekündigt auf einige Festivals zu gehen, von denen offiziell noch nicht alle angekündigt sind. Wie gesagt, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. =)
10.10 munich - zenith. going to be my first BG concert. it's actually a cool thing that they're going to rock the zenith. the last time they were in town, they played at a smaller venue.
incredible...one of the best bands ever!!!!! they kicked ass in the middle 80's and they are still kickin ass in 2008!!...ehmke might not be so good as thomen stauch (he was the god of drums realy) but he is good in his own way and he rocks...listen to these bards that are the masters of metal!!!
There are sometimes where I wish he would just hit those sick, sick notes I know he can hit. But other times he just makes the song ten times more interesting.
@Kiter02 ok mate,anyway!!!both album and live sounds kickass!after all its blind guardian!!! great song great band great live great everything!!! cant wait to see them live in may!
Actually, their bassist have been ALWAYS the same, Oliver Holzwarth, since 1998 when they recorded the Nightfall in Middle-Earth. Obviously I mean since then till nowadays.
i wish the guitars would turn the distortion down a bit. and maybe even let the bass through sometimes. I wonder..Is there a BG tune where the bass doesnt mimic the guitar lines? Love this song, and all other guardian tunes. long live BG!
Just awsome, i think i like this one better than the studio version... and just because i have now listened to this one about 10 times in a row and cant remember how the studio one goes, are some of the words rearanged in this version?

sounds great !

Pues que sepas, que HAnsi tiene dos registros más en CANTO que Bruce.
I don't think there's anybody in the world that doesn't like this song!!!!
bum bum bum bum bum dididodaday!!!!!!
10/10
this is one of my favorite songs by blind guardian! it sounds like different forms of music mixed into one song.
You've crossed the line
You've reached the end
Hansi's voice is fucking great, my favorite singer.
BG Riffs are fucking awesome, BG is fucking great
11 years later your still right

This was the first BG album I ever bought, I love every song!
@s1ckbastard Hansi Kürsch doesn't get lyrics wrong. They simply change at his will.
Too little of this kind of music in our world. :)
I've seen them live twice, so I can assure you...
It's not just you...
Their live performances are monumental...
Quite possibly my favorite blind guardian song.
I love his vocals, and the song is wonderfully written
Fucking AMAZING!!
EPIC ending to this song!!!!!!
my most favourite Blind Guardian song. I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!
The WORLDS most underrated Band!!! THese are fucking epic!!!
One of my favorite songs. Simply GREAT!!!
I saw them in Barcelona the last saturday...
The best concert of my fucking life!!!!
No way out... I´m caught in the spell of Blind Guardian! One of the best bands ever, indeed the best metal band of Germany!
Never die, Blind Guardian!
2 peoples was blinded by the epicness of this song and clicked 2 dislikes...
Absolutely my favourite song of the "new" BG! Masterpiece!
This song is so fucking awesome.
\m/
Blind Guardian sid wirklich eine absolute live band...bin dabei am 9.10.210 in düsseldorf...mein erstes kontzert und dann von BG...besser geht net!!!
this is epic! one of my favorite BG songs!
Best..... Power metal band...... Ever!!!!!!!!
It's a tragedy how maligned by the fandom this album is.
+TrevRockOne Is not a bad album, but come on... Is not like the other ones
wait what? this is like my second favorite BG album :I
I love it but the vocals of this album are weak compared the others. And Otherland is one of my favourite books and favourite songs but the vocals of the album are not the best...
The vocals of the live are awesome
yes, better expressed than me. I meant the weak point, not that they were weak. They are overproduced, layered, autotuned. I didn't like them.
No idea why either. This was their last great album. Turn the Page, Otherland, Fly/Dead Sound, Lionheart, Skalds and Shadows, Straight through the Mirror, Another Stranger Me. That's a ratio of over 50% great songs.

Or Beyond the Red Mirror, which despite being better than the previous album, is filled with weak choruses that don't fit the songs they're attached to. All build up with very little pay off.
I absolutely love their heroic chorusses!
AND
there's not 1 wrong note in this whole song!
Amazing live band as well!
fuckin' great song from A Twist in the Myth.
one of the best with Fly and Another Stranger Me
vote blind guardian 4 best live band ever!!
sowas von verdammt episch, einfach nur richtig richtig geil!
love that Song !
Simply amazing live! the guitarists are amazing on the backing vocals which is pretty rare. One of the best live bands ive ever heard, up there with muse in my books live.
Hansi's Godlike vocals are mindblowing!!
Cant say enough about this band.
musically orgasmic might be the best description i can come up with!
I think ive watched this video more than 100 times. this is probably the second best live performance ive seen apart from Hangar 18 (I actually went to that and it was incredible) but this is too good for words.
Blind Guardian is obviously one of the greatest bands in all time! I wish they'd hold a live concert in Edmonton :(
I absolutely love their heroic chorusses!
BG live performance is awesome, because they are modern/electric bards.
They creates a really great musical experience.
This... Is the best thing I have ever heard rom a live recording.. EVERR!!!!!
That song is my favorite song of theirs.
Does the books justice, simply amazing.
Ich hatte Karten aber muste Sonderschicht schieben, ich hätte kotzen können, wochenlang schlechte Laune aber danke für die ganzen Videos ,das machts dann erträglicher...
Wow. Couldn't even tell it apart from the studio recording until about a minute and a half in. I need to see them live!
i love this song!!!
WTF, WHAT A CHORUS O___O i didnt expect something like this for such a song in live
@lioubinos99 Listen to it really closely in the album version the two guitarists do a solo where one of them is hammering the notes and the other one is playing the solo he plays in this live version. So basically it's like two solos in one it's flippin epic. I mean this is sweet but the album version i was like O_O
I love this album!!!
You're part of the game, you're a slave to the grind.
Love this song :D

Amazing Band, Amazing Song! Thx for sharing, mate!

Hehe, sie haben angekündigt auf einige Festivals zu gehen, von denen offiziell noch nicht alle angekündigt sind. Wie gesagt, die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. =)
omg!! hansi's voice!! and i love his power stance! XD
Blind guardian sang of Tolkein, and there was much rejoicing.
amazing band! Looking forward to see them live in Athens
wonderful
the only a twist in the myth song that feels like the former albums...
die band ist supper und schließlich deutsch!!!
10.10 munich - zenith. going to be my first BG concert. it's actually a cool thing that they're going to rock the zenith. the last time they were in town, they played at a smaller venue.
I wonder if they know that they are the greatest band ever =P
awesome song, like every songs they do ^^
incredible...one of the best bands ever!!!!! they kicked ass in the middle 80's and they are still kickin ass in 2008!!...ehmke might not be so good as thomen stauch (he was the god of drums realy) but he is good in his own way and he rocks...listen to these bards that are the masters of metal!!!
This is so much better than the studio version. A shame that the album is so badly mixed.
4ever Guarding The Blind!
I cant beleve Hansi has cut his Hair now :( he look so awsome with he hair :)
Heavenly.
danke

There are sometimes where I wish he would just hit those sick, sick notes I know he can hit. But other times he just makes the song ten times more interesting.
Welcome to teh EPICland!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Kiter02 ok mate,anyway!!!both album and live sounds kickass!after all its blind guardian!!!
great song great band great live great everything!!!
cant wait to see them live in may!
He's playing almost all concarts with them, but still on guest musician spot. There were, are and will be 4 Bards ;)
Actually, their bassist have been ALWAYS the same, Oliver Holzwarth, since 1998 when they recorded the Nightfall in Middle-Earth. Obviously I mean since then till nowadays.
give a twist in the myth to a random band. all will say that this album rocks
Andre should play more of the little riffs from the studio version because they make the song so fuckin awesome!
Legendary
If This Happens Your Gonna See Me At The Front Having The Time Of My Life!!!!!!
(Who Wouldn't Be)????
what a badass band hansi's the shit
They rule the land, they´re in command
E P I C
hansi seemed sick at the beginning, until the first chorus, i was just waiting for him to break thru the shit stuff and get to it. he got to it!!
i wish the guitars would turn the distortion down a bit. and maybe even let the bass through sometimes.
I wonder..Is there a BG tune where the bass doesnt mimic the guitar lines?
Love this song, and all other guardian tunes.
long live BG!
@retrofisk i know!!i love his voice!best band to see live in my opinion.
I thought they could never pull this live, but somehow they did it.
EPIC !!! NO MORe to say ...
oh yes, that is so true
I wish the new album was even half as awesome as this one.
Blind Guardian with a great song and great Lyrics.I love them.
Speed Metal at it´s Best from Germany!!!
POWER METAAAL!!
10 Oktober YEAAHH Das wird HAMMER
It is " a slave to the grind", but is great anyways, it gives me the goosebumps:D
AND Straight Through the Mirror
me too!!!!!!
Impossible!
I know that duh. But some of the best bands in Metal play at Wacken. Blind Guardian would be a lovely bonus :-D
SlashRose has obviously not heard the new album yet!
This song is even better if you've read the books by Tad Williams.
IT IS THE BEST BAND :D\m/
@ZachValkyrie Of course. I've listened to all of their albums by now.. lol.
The face Kursch makes at 0:52... XD
Just awsome, i think i like this one better than the studio version... and just because i have now listened to this one about 10 times in a row and cant remember how the studio one goes, are some of the words rearanged in this version?
Damn was hoping they were going to do the album version of the solo =(
