I think its one of the greatest bands. really great music. Hansi (from blind guardian) has a awnsome voice. i really want to see him live!

Lmao This is Gonna Probs Make Me Well Unpopular on here now... But I Prefer the Second Album, Dont get me Wrong i love em Both but I Think Touched... Is Blistering from Start to Finish the weakest track being Terror Train an either Loves Tragedy... or Wicked Witch Bein the Best. Dunno Mebbe its cos I the Second Album Waaaaaaay before the first so obviously absorbed it more but its deffo one of the best fookin albumns ive herd... *Potters off to listen to them*

everyone here thinks fiddler on the green is their best song, probably the best metal ballad ever but imo wicked witch is also great, though nothing can beat the intro to fiddler!

I can confirm that Fiddler on the green is their best song. They have made in the second cd I have Immigrant Song of Led Zeppelin. I Like this cover.

Of corse man i know

I like both cds, but would give the edge to the first. I also find great pleasure in the covers they do. White room, from the first and the immigrant song from touched. I also enjoyed iced earths tribute to the gods. Ilike to hear schaffers interpretation of other artists work. I think schaffer sounds better in D&W then iced earth, and I have heard all of Iced earths cds except the new one . I have trouble accepting the new vocalist ( tim owens ) who was also a fill in with judas priest while Halford was pouting. The german guy sounds awesome with Schaffer. I look forward to there new release.

by the way, is the immigrant song the first true heavy metal song? It uses the B riff with a true metalgallop, that Maiden and others would perfect a decade latter.

@iceland_Norway: I agree , it was the song that turned me onto the band actually

same here...in fact, I just listened to it for the first time in a while...DAMN, this album is fucking mint! Even the bonus tracks, Lunar Lament and Spatial Architects, are quite good.

First album turned me into it and it was whemn I was possessed whit BG and I still like first album better

@K7: yeah, the 2nd one seemed more on the uninspired side.

i think that kursch's voice is rather unique and fits well with schaefer's rythm, over all the 2 make an awesome mix, i prefer the self titled album as my fav song of theres is heaven denies, along with the intro this song covers so many apects of the genre

Blind Guardian last 2 albums are same

@K7: Blind Guardian's last 2 albums? that's not really true.....one is highly produced and operatic, the other is less '3-dimensional' .

^ Aaaand, we're discussing Blind Guardian albums in the "Demons & Wizards" thread...

I guess there's only so much you can say about a band wich only has two albums out and never plays live.

I asked before, but does anyone know if a new album is in the pipe-line?

definitely the first album. the second is crap

I actually think 'Crimson King' is their best...Fiddler really isn't high up on the list but its still good...
'Terror Train' is very good too...

Agreed, the first D&W was clearly the better of the two. I'm not even sure a third D&W album would be worth it. Best to quit while you're ahead, as the saying goes.

The "german guy" is Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian.

xD yeah, it's hard to believe someone wouldn't know that, but that's okay, I'm sure there are things that I don't know that would make me seem just as ignorant.

Demons and Wizards are awsome!I like very much Schaffer's riffs and Hansi's voice.

Yes, it could be a good solution for Demons And Wizards to give more frequently Tour Dates all over the world.

3 bands in night or 3 days tour each day one band its great but bever came true

just at the beginning of heaven denies, he does. it sounds an awful like The Reckoning from The Glorious Burden

beneath these waves is their best song in my opinion. fiddler is a close second, followed by wicked witch.
