Savage Circus CD

[jkohn]

I picked it up this week and cannot believe howmuch Jens Carlsson sounds like Hansi. You'd swear they were brothers or something. Has anyone heard a vocalist that sounds more like Hansi than Jens Carlsson? I haven't.

Man you're not kidding. This album sounds so much like BG a few albums ago that it's eerie. He doesn't have Hansi's "ballad" voice, but most of the vocals on the album are a dead ringer for Imagination-era BG, as is the song-writing, guitar sound, and pretty much everything else. It's a good CD though.

The funny thing is that he NEVER saw Hansi as an influence.

actually, Jens has a much better voice than Hansi for singing ballads. in fact, in my book, Jens > Hansi, in general.

Yep, this is part of my evil plan: I was going to play a song from it on the air without announcing beforehand who it was, and then wait for the phone calls. "Was that new Blind Guardian?"
Then I could announce they're playing PPUSA.

I'm not familiar with his previous work, but based on the Savage Circus CD I'd have to disagree. Still, I like the CD and look forward to seeing them.

When I first heard Manticora, I thought, "Whoa, this is the only guy I've heard that sounds close to Hansi!"

And then I heard Jens' voice, and thought, "Whoa, this is the only guy I've heard that was cloned from Hansi's DNA!"
