\m/ Blind Guardian \m/

[Mantraschism]

So who else is a Blind Guardian fan? Now, it's damn hard for me to choose a favorite band, but it's definitely between Blind Guardian and Opeth - they both cover two different (and yet connected) aspects of my personality beautifully. In any case, I think BG are amazing. I've loved them since last March, 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth' being my first album by them. I was going through a bad time then, but while I was listening to them, my mind was taken off of my problems. Since then, I've acquired all of their studio albums except their first two (d'oh!), and I love them all, the new one possibly being my favorite. Well, this has somehow turned into an exposition on me, but the point is, if you don't know Blind Guardian's music, you should hence proceed to check them out. \m/

BTW, if anyone from the BG forum is on here, I'm Fates Guardian. =o I think I've seen a few people from the BG forum on here...

I just recommended their albums to the guy in the non-metal thread

I can only take them in small doses though, because that sort of epic-metal gets on my nerves after a while. Same with bands like SOnata Arctica and Ayreon..but Blind Guardian are by far the best of the genre in my opinion.

Blind Guardian rocks . Their concert here in Istanbul was awesome . Thinking that all of them are past 30 , it's great that they can still write perfect music .

I might be seeing them along with Symphony X on November 30. The only way I'm NOT going is if I'm completely, one hundred percent broke. I can't wait for that show.

 

[Majestic]

Yep, they're pretty good. I especially like the more acoustic pieces like Harvest of Sorrow.

 

[Stinkfist]

Yep, not one of my favourite bands, but good nonetheless. Ruled at Bloodstock.

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

They did a great show at this year's Wacken Open Air.

I only have their first album though.

 

[Staffan]

They're great!

 

[BMKid]

[Elysian Blaze]

First off, it's Blind "Guardian" punk.

And they kick ass. I'm seeing 'em on the 22nd of November.

 

[Staffan]

I saw them 6:th and 8:th of september here in sweden

 

[transfixed]

BG rules!!
I'm seeing them at ProgPower then on the 28th

 

[DrX]

Yeah they will be here on Nov 22 with Symphony X. I am not sure if I am going to go, because Blue Oyster Cult is playing on the 20th at the same place, and I have been of a fan a theirs for a while.

 

[Tranquillian]

Top 10 band.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

I saw them at Wakcen this year and they were absolutely amazing, what a show!

My favoruite songs by them are Mirror Mirro, Battlefield, Nightfall, Lord of the Rings and the Bard Song. Not to mention of course the epic And Then There Was Silence!

 

[ffanatic]

Blind Guardian is good stuff, all though I won't say why...

 

[Demonspell]

I'm seeing Blind Guardian in nineteen days...one of the few power metal bands that can still interest me.

 

[EyeAm]

I'll be going to the Nov. 22 show as well. See you guys there. I love this band!

So why pick a favourite?

Anywayz, noone has been a bigger BG fan than me, BUT.....

The best of Blind Guardian was YEARS ago and that's what you should check out. "Tales From The Twilight World" and the subsequent "Somewhere Far Beyond" rate in the "best of all time power metal albums" category and "Battalions Of Fear" and "Follow The Blind" are also worth picking up if you're a fan. On the other hand....if it's their recent shit you like....maybe you should disregard everything i just said!
