Valhalla - Deliverance Why've you ever forgotten me...............

Ronan|Raven

Not another random thread title I hear you shriek!

An appreciation thread for by far one of the greatest groups of their genre.. BLIND GUARDIAN..

for years they have produced album after album of sheer bliss.. I know a lot of posters on here got to see them in the TBMC or Button Factory or whatever it is nowadays..

Stunning, Batallions of Fear through to Nightfall in Middle Earth and even the latest album was stunning...

All I can say now is

I found out about them visiting here a month or two after and I was very disappointed! I've only listened to Nightfall in Middle-Earth, A Twist in the Myth and bits of A Night at the Opera thus far but I've been meaning to listen to more of them, since I'm a total powerfag.

Is their earlier stuff any good?

I've only got their last album and I didn't think too much of it, seemed a bit sterile or something.

LOVE Blind Guardian, they were one of the first power metal bands I really started getting into. Cheesy as hell but a lot of fun.

Valhalla's a fecking great song.

Quality album, Follow The Blind is probably my favourite Blind Guardian album though.

GLaDOS

Best power metal band out there imo and my favourite band. Imaginations from the Other Side would be my favourite album, A night at the Opera is another brilliant one. Their earlier work is quite different, more along the lines of speed metal but still very good, this being one of my favourite tracks

Overall an absolutly brilliant band, so go listen if you havent!

Their gig in the TBMC a couple of years ago was amazing. Random bouts of Valhalla kept erupting throughout the night. Excellent set list too. Definitely one of the best gigs I've been to. Think a lot of Germans and other Europeans came over for it as only once in a blue moon is it possible to see them in such a small, intimate venue.

Once again; Amazing gig.

Also Imaginations... and Tales From The Twilight World are probably my favourites.

It was a fantastic gig indeed. Was great to see them in a nice small venue.
