I like it that things are pretty quiet around this subject. Maybe that means they are actually getting somewhere with it ^^

Andreas

This is a Dutchie thread now

Andreas

I've learned to know better than holding my breath for anything Blind Guardian related

I just wait to be getting hyped when a release date is given.

Andreas

New album is out. It takes a while to grasp it, but it is really great German melodic epic speed metal in the vein of early Blind Guardian. A bit different from the first album, but a worthwhile listen.

Andreas

Heard some of these guys. The singer is also really good. Yet I'm not sure if I think they are "great".

Andreas

^Nice!

Why've you ever forgotten me?

Andreas

Yesterday it crossed my mind that the last time I bought a band shirt is more than 5,5 years ago. Might be time for some new BG swag.

So, every aquisition since my last post (luckily, only 7 of them were full price more or less): Camel - Mirage Camel - Moonmadness Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink Diviner - Fallen Empires Genesis - Foxtrot Gloriam Dei - The Covenant Hammerfall - Built to Last Helloween - My God-Given Right In...

Andreas

This is probably enough reason to postpone the orchestral project for another two years.

Andreas

Counting from my previous post will take a bit too much time for my taste... so here are my aquirements of the year twenty-sixteen. Avantasia - Ghostlights Divinefire - Glory Thy Name Elvenking - The Pagan Manifesto Enzo and the Glory Ensemble - In the Name of the Father Final Chapter - Legions of t...

Andreas

I hope so for the vinyl lovers

I'm not hip enough for that though...

Andreas

Verneinung!

Andreas

My favourite hipster BG song is Precious Jerusalem. Other than that, I'm also into A Dark Passage, All the King's Horses, Age of False Innocence, Harvest of Sorrow. I feel like half the discussions on this board now are about whether At the Edge of Time is fantastic or terrible. :P I'd like to give ...

Why have I ever forgotten this forum?!

Damn you!

Even in the booklet and promo pics they are still 4 (they should have been 3)

No, there should be only one: Thomen

And as a finishing touch, they needed one of the Dutch!

I have no idea what mr. Spambot here is talking about, but I agree!

Andreas

And for all you Felipe Machado Franco haters out there: some extra stuff to bitch about. Today I remembered the cover of Portrait of a Dying Heart by Secret Sphere (whom Blind Guardian has stolen the opening riff of Punishment Divine from). Comparison (higher quality links at the bottom of this post...

PAGE BITCHES!

Indeed, it's not as if Blind Guardian suddenly becomes one of the forefighters of christianity all of a sudden. To be honest, they often write songs about fantasy stories so.... Even if you're not religious, you should see the difference between fantasy and religion. But that's a whole other discuss...

Andreas

Yes, I don't get why people don't get so bent out of shape about that.

Rehashing your own stuff isn't stealing

Andreas

welll, that smashes all the Frederik bashers, as they all seem to love Holy Grail... Compared to Somewhere Far Beyond and Lost In The Twilight Hall, Holy Grail doesn't stand a chance. So yeah, one song doesn't smashes even a mosquito. You're trying a bit too hard. Heh, you should know when someone'...

Oh, and the page is MINE!

Maybe it's because I've had copyright law as a subject on top of the fact that I consider this downloading of a leak stealing (some of you might know that I'm a rigid christian :wink: ), but I totally agree with you. As I said earlier, when you download that stuff, you're getting access to their wo...

Andreas

I've resisted listening to the leak and I will keep at it since the real release is only a week away. Seriously, what the fuck dudes, you've been waiting for 4½ years for a record and then you jump on a leak 1½ WEEKS before the release, jeesh :lol: Maybe it's because I've had copyright law as a sub...

Andreas

The Thomen point is not only about the drummer, but about a guy that has written helluva great songs and surely has his weight on the sound decisions. With all due respect for the man, but name just one song that Thomen contributed to since his departure from BG that even comes close to BG since AT...

Andreas

Dudes, reunions happens. In 10 years people and their priorities change. Some times the problem is who's going to make the call first. I don't have a problem in sounding a dick to BG and to you all if there's a chance I can put in the guys' heads the idea: "maybe we should give a call to Thomas and...

Didn't expect it so soon at all.
I don't feel guilty since the record has been in pre order from November

Well, you should feel guilty. You're getting access to their work in a way that they did not intend.

Andreas

Twas very nice

Andreas

Trailer no. 5 is online. That part of an orchestral song just before the end... luvvit.

Andreas

Sad news. Not only because I'm yet to see Thomen and Grapow live (concert next Monday would've been a first), but mainly because it sounds really bad. Hope he will be back (no... OK, a little bit pun inteneded) soon!

Andreas

the only reason there were 2 orchestras is that halfway through production the first one was no longer available, hansi or andre said so in one of the interviews There you go, that makes the fact of two orchestras even less impressive. Not that I doubt the quality... the real hype is the three choi...

The Neal Morse Band - The Grand Experiment

Andreas

For once I agree, Nikita.

Andreas

I seriously don't get the hype about the whole three orchestra thing. It's mentioned in almost every review so far, and people online are getting excited about it. It's not as if an album gets better when three orchestras are playing on it. Just take a look at the latest Rhapsody of Fire album (Dark...

Andreas

Well, when I calculate the value I give to liner notes, mostly it comes down to 1/10 of a song. So 1,1 song extra? Still not worth the extra €25,- or so. New Wind Rose album will be awesome considering the reviews and the first single (search for the clip on youtube - you might like it!), and will b...

Andreas

Ah thanks, two days ago the wikipedia page didn't have the track length yet. Anyway, sequels are almost always redundant, so digibook for me it is

Andreas

Any news on the song Doom? I just hope it sucks, so I won't feel tempted to buy the earbook. Which I'm not planning on doing if the song isn't at least 9 minutes long, thus justifying the two CDs. But NB still puts stuff from under 80 minutes on two CDs for the sake of having two CDs for an earbook ...
