Alright, since the old thread was locked because we posted to the limit, here's the new one!

To get us re-started, I think I'll wish Frederik a Happy 29th Birthday.

Also, have any of you bought the 'Another Stranger Me' single, and if so, do you recommend getting it? I usually don't get EPs and singles, but if they're good then I can make exceptions. I've already seen the video (which was weird, at least for Blind Guardian), but some of the songs are new. Also, any comments on their appearance at Hellfest would be much appreciated, from those fortunate enough to see them there.

Well, I just received Follow the Blind in the mail today. While it's definitely a step down from their debut, it's still good. My favorite songs are probably Hall of the King and the instrumental song, Beyond the Ice. I don't really like the Hansi's singing voice and I prefer his more aggressive sound on their debut. I'm not a fan of this band, but I guess their first two speed metal albums are kinda cool.

@Pyroleprechaun - you stole my thoughts, lol, altough I like first 5 albums and Hansi's voice, it is awesome unique voice, if you are fan of that music though. And I can definetely listen to othe releases.

Yes, I've heard this album, it's quite enjoyable! Admittedly some of the covers are quite poor, but others are great, like the one of 'A Past and Future Secret', 'And the Story Ends', 'The Bard's Song (The Hobbit)', Welcome to Dying', 'Majesty', and both versions of 'Theatre of Pain'. Though it's clear why some of the bands participating on this release aren't well-known, some of the vocalists are atrocious.

He means that he hadn't bought 'Tales from the Twilight World' until a few days ago, and is loving it even more than before, now that he owns the real thing.

I think Hansi destroys this band, I've listened and listened and still find no emotion or even a tune most of the time in his voice. Their music is awesome, the vocals isn't.

Now that's an opinion I've never heard, as a lot of people look at Hansi as a vocal God.

That's the first time I've heard anyone into Metal say his voice is bad as well. Even a lot of Extreme Metallers think his voice is decent, because he can get really gruff and ballsy when he wants.

@Hyvaarin: How yuo type him mroe esay how me?

Why did Blind Guardian's old drummer leave them?

Thomen left because he was unsatisfied with the band's musical direction. He wanted to play stuff in the vein of their first four or five albums, and didn't like the increasingly complex and layered nature of their work. After leaving, he formed a new band called Savage Circus, who, predictably, play music that sounds remarkably like old Blind Guardian.

I personally love his voice and am liking where the band is going in 'A twist in the myth' even though it is a new and unheard of style in Blind Guardian, and yeah Judas that sounds interesting I should check out Thomens band.

They re-recorded the song, and then there are the various live versions. They didn't change anything, as far as I know.

Just a bit of news, they've released remastered versions of all their albums up to 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth' now, only for Europe though. 'Battalions of Fear' and 'Follow the Blind' have been remixed as well, so they sound a lot more polished, and the demos have been added as bonus tracks ('Symphonies of Doom', recorded in 1985 when they were still called Lucifer's Heritage, and 'Battalions of Fear' recorded in 1986 after the name change). The remastered versions of the other albums have extra stuff as well, such as videos, outtakes and demos for some albums. You can hear samples from these remasters here.

Oh nice, I'll probably get some of those remixed albums

Concerning Blind Guardian's musical career, I think they've done an unbeatable job until "Nightfall.....", and since then their music has decayed more and more, though I'm not saying the last two albums are bad....they're just not as good as the previous ones and have lost the real BG "spirit".
