Imagine Wheel of Time with Thomen 🤔
BG was always FULL DRUMS everywhere for me. Toms, snare rolls. Drums were a major part. Now they are just a supporting instrument.
That is what I talkinng about!!! Fred is the great drummer, but Thomen is the RIGHT ONE. ❤️ The song sounds more Blind Guardian than ever.
Agreed! As much as it's hard to find flaws in Frederik's playing, there's something about Thomen that just feels a lot more alive... it's somewhat similar to the whole Portnoy vs Mangini thing 🤔
It could even be a tuning or gear thing 😅 but Thomen's parts have always had so much attitude!
Yes, exactly that. Portnoy vs Mangini
I have a lot of respect for Frederik. He does his job and does it well. But Thomen's dumming would have made the difference between a good album and the worthy successor to A night at the Opera. I absolutely love all his orchestrations on the drumset. We all love you very much Thomen, you are the best
Awsome to see you covering a song recorded with the other drummer. Didn't expect thism
The real drummer of blind guardian 😢 no excuse 😅 power and strong on the drumset
This is a certainly a twist in A Twist in the Myth.
Is a Frederik and Thomen collaboration too much to ask for?
It’s just amazing how one of the greatest songs of BG`s modern era sounds more like BG just because you are behind that drum set.
Love to see you play Ride into Obsession or Holy Grial.
We miss you and love you man!
Sadly, most people don't appreciate how crucial a drummer can be to the sound of the band they love. It's like Slayer: Paul Bostaph is an excellent drummer, but they sounded like a different band with him. It just wasn't that SLAYER SOUND that Dave's drumming was a huge part of.
I miss Blind Guardian with Thomen……. 😢 !!!!
They were never the same……
Absolutely!
finally some of the newer songs got what it deserved!!!! A Thomen makeover!!!! Was always wondering how would those new songs be with you on the drums......now I have an idea....awesome as always my friend!!! Please re-make more of those new ones!!! Let "The Omen" do what is needed!!!! keep rocking mate!!!! we need you!!!
An unexpected twist:) Wie sage ich es am besten ohne Fred zu nahe zu treten...Es gibt Aragorn und es gibt Denethor. Den König und den Truchsess. Wer in meinen Augen wer ist, sollte klar sein.
It is with this drummer that we wanted to see Blind Guardian live
Holy s..t 😲 Such a great vibe with those amazing drum fills. Man .....we really miss you!
THIS is what I always wanted to hear on the newer BG albums...
Just imagine how much greater they could have been with Thomen 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲❤❤❤
Thanks a lot, but Fred did a great job, I think! Maybe it's just a bit different! :-)
This proves that Thomen is the missing part of BG to return to his original magic! great Job and beautifully unexpected video.
My dear Thomen, IF I were god, i would never have let you and BG goes separate ways. It pains my heart until today. With all due respect to Frederik, great drummer, no doubt about it, but you are a piece of the soul's band. One last thing: this and Otherland are my favorite tunes from A Twist in the Myth, thanks for making this dream to hear you playing this come true! Wish all the best from Brazil!
Wow, thanks so much! Very kind words, Rodrigo! Un abrazo fuerte! 🤗🤗
I loved discovering your channel because you've been a drummer I've always enjoyed since I first heard Blind Guardian, I love hearing your new takes on old BG songs you've been the drummer for, I love the covers of other songs you've done, but this is a great treat to hear your take on one of Frederik's parts. Love you, Thomen!!!
Great cover Thommen! I don't want to compare between the two drummers because you're both fantastic and bring something unique to the songs. But it is lovely to see you engaging with BG's more recent work and I sincerely hope this the first of many!!
Thanks a lot! Yeah, Fred definitely is great and people don't need to compare. Just see each one's performance as a separate one. Music is to enjoy and not to compete! Anyway, Fred is a totally nice person and in a technical way he surely would win if we would compete. He is a studied musician, me not! 🤷♂️😅🫶🫶
Yes! I've been waiting for this, it's always been interesting to hear how the songs will sound in your performance after the "Night at the Opera", and it sounds amazing! I'm waiting for more songs of the second period
Thanks! Glad to hear you like it! 🤗
Das letzte album mit richtigem BG feeling und an den meisten songs merkt man auch das thomen-drumming bei der Komposition mitgedacht wurde. Aaaaaber: Frederik ist ja nun wirklich ein klasse drummer, ihr kennt euch ja auch schon lange aber deine Interpretation ist so viel besser und ährm, etwas schwieriger. Passiert 'ne Menge. Respekt!🤘
Não sou muito fã do A Twist in the Myth, mas sempre gostei muito desse som. Essa versão com você tocando, ficou fenomenal! Thomen, um dos meus bateras favoritos de sempre! Inspiração total! 🤘🔥🔥🔥
Mestre dos mestres! ❤
An really interesting twist in the myth indeed! It would be fascinating to know how many of these tracks you actually jammed before leaving Blind Guardian. Anyway, excellent performance! Professional drumming at its finest, thank you!
Thanks a lot! I just heard 3-4 songs, but didn't jam anything of it any more at that time!
Really incredible! Wasn't expecting to see a Frederik song, but this is a great take.
Ripeto .... non sanno cosa si sono persi per strada...pur amando i Guardian alla follia.... Thomen the best drummer 😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘👊
Super Thomen, you've brought back the real Blind Guardian style to a song that didn't have it! Great drummer!...but a drum cover of "Riding on fire" from the first Iron Savior album? 🙂 Congratulations again!!!
Very interesting to see you playing Frederik's lines! Keep up with the amazing job, Thomen! I am always eager to see you play.
Now that's what you call Workshop
🤣🤣🫶♥️
Di tangan Thomen, lagu ini jadi lebih manusiawi.
My hero....
For me, that song always felt, as if it was written when you still were part of the band. It just has some more traditional BG feel than the rest of the album.
A vast, vast improvement.
You must have such a condition to perform such a things! Great!
Totally bad ass as always brotha!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Loving to see you also play a more recent BG song!
I really liked it, very powerful. That is how I would have played it if I was a drummer on THAT level . More toms, more cymbals, more bas drums, more everything) Nicely done !
Powerful rendition! I'd love to hear more reimaginings of modern Blind Guardian.
Oh yeah! Thanks Thomen! 😀😀❤
A música fica com uma energia muito boa 😁
Wow!!!! Always wonder how it sounds the new albums with you Thomen, and this is INCREIBLE! THANKS!
Thanks! Glad you like it!🫶🫶
Lang nicht mehr ein so abwechslungsreiches Spiel gesehen... Da kann man fast von "Spass" beim Zuschauen reden! ;) Chapeau!
Magnificent, it looks much more like Blind Guardian without a doubt, it's in the DNA! The band after joining nuclearblast the mix was funny, guitar distortions became more modern/digital Not having that yummy old sound. Thank you THOMEN, do more reinterpretations with your own style on the songs, they are BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks! Glad you like it. 🤗🤗
@@ThomenDrumChamber 🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘🙏
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! The whole ATITM album would be a dream come true!
Very interesting, A Twist In The Myth was the first Blind Guardian album I ever bought. I still revisit that album and I have wondered what the songs might have sounded like with you on drums.
Lol, for me it was the last Blind Guardian album I ever bought. I'm not hating on the band at all, but I just lost interest after Thomen left.
Me too! :) The last album I bought and still haven't heard thoroughly through it, not to mention learning and remembering every word and music part like with ALL the Thomen's albums.
Fantastic!
My most favorite drummer plays one of my most favorite song.
Thomen's on fire! 🤜🤘
Please "a voice in the dark"
Way better than the original sound!
What a great song!!!! And always amazing to see you playing!
Very awesome Thomen! One of my favorite tracks off A Twist In The Myth! Cheers! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I miss Thomen’s abuse of the toms! Always so powerful. Blind Guardian’s sound changed overnight when Thomen left. They’re still good, but it’s not the same. Frederik is a good drummer but he lacks the intensity that Thomen played with.
Amazing as always, Master!! 🤘
Hell yeah
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just found your channel recently, loving it! Really cool to hear something from Twist too, I think it's a very underappreciated album among the fans. Might be one of my favorites alongside Imaginations and Somewhere Far Beyond, but they're all so good it's difficult to choose. Cheers from Finland!
Oh very interesting to have your take on a song from that era! Was this one written or semi-written before you left?
The song existed, but without drums and still sounded different.
Wow great job ❤
nice!
The Best Drummer
Awww, thank you sooo much! Very kind! 🫶🫶🤘🏻🤗
Will you redo them all? 🤩
No!
😆
Hehe yes please!!!!
@@ThomenDrumChamber at least a few more, please!!!!??
The second chorus is a massive improvement
Fuckin great🤟
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
