Blind Guardian's Live

[Esteban]

I've never been a huge Blind Guardian fan, but this is probably the best live album I've ever heard. The audience is incredible, songs like The Bard's Song sound amazing, you can not reproduce something like that on studio; the band is very tight and the production is flawless... I wish more bands took BG's example and released live albums as good as this one.

Well, they added some extra bass to certain songs like Born in a Mourning Hall - whether due to quality or wanting to beef up the sound I do not know - but for the most part it is excellent. The quality is much better than Iron Maiden's latest live CD and the energy just bursts out of the speakers.

Well worth it to pick up and if you are in the States, 13 bucks for a dual CD set it a deal.

 

[plfffffft]

That live album confirmed my belief that Hansi is indeed the God of Metal Singing

 

[SpiritCrusherBTR]

This CD is amazing. I saw actually at the show in NYC where I believe one or two of the songs are from. The sound quality and clearness may be the very best I have ever heard from a live album. Amazing stuff!

The best part is the drunken "bards" singing along to the beginning of Majesty.

 

[plfffffft]

And the drunken "bards" singing The Bard's Song so loudly Hansi decided not to sing it himself.

Blind Guardian RULES

 

[plfffffft]

So does that picture in your sig.

 

[perfecterror]

thanks hehe, yeah alexi rules also.

 

[plfffffft]

Apparently I look a lot like Alexi, to the point of almost getting mistaken for him when they played here. I also play a Jackson Rhoads.


But anyway, Blind Guardian fuckin rules. I'm trying to get my guitarist to agree to cover Mirror Mirror. At least if we can get a singer who can sing it.

 

[perfecterror]

you look like alexi can you play like him? one of my girlfriend's actually looks like the female version of alexi, its awesome...haha!

 

[plfffffft]

No, I can't play like him. Yet

I'm more of a Jon Schaffer, James Hetfield, Scott Ian kinda guy. You know, the rhythm guitarist.

That one sounds amazing

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

This is without a doubt the best live album ever put out by any band... I missed Blind Guardian in 2002, they were supposed to come to San Francisco, but their bus broke down just outside and they were not able to make the show... THE ONLY FUCKING SHOW ON THE TOUR THEY DID NOT MAKEM IND YOU! But I have been satisfied with this album and I'll be able to wait until they next come to the U.S. (though it won't be for 2-3 years based on what i've read) Great album, if your a fan of live BG or live music at all, this one is a must

 

[murder_house]

Hah. Thats really ironic, I just purchased this CD yesterday.

2perfecterror: Horrible! I think you're gay!!

 

[Destroyer Of Orden]

..........??????????? Errr... what the fuck?

 

[Abou]

Another live album that I really enjoy is the Blaze one. He got a pretty bad rap from his years in Maiden but this dual CD set is just awsome. Personally, I think he does Sign of the Cross better live than Bruce does in Rock in Rio.
