Blind Guardian... Anyone here like them?

Postby Dirk_Temporo » Sat Aug 23, 2003 5:05 pm

Well in case you don't know, Blind Guardian is a band who's genre I like to call "Epic Metal". They have a lot of backing vocals and classical instruments behind their songs. I should hope that some of you would know htem considering that they're a big thing in Japan. They sing a lot of songs based on books like Lord Of The Rings and other fantasy novels. They also come up with original stories, obviously. So, anyone else like them ore other bands that are similar? (like Iced Earth)

A lot of bands are big in Japan.

Blink-182 played there just a little bit ago, and I'm willing to bet they know more Japonese than most people here.

Just because a band is popular in Japan and we like anime doesn't mean we should like some one or have even heared of them for that matter :?

And with a band as big as Blind Guardian, ofcourse people here like them.

There are several REALLY big BG fans at this forum.

I think Nailz and I are the official BG pimps around here though, so you other guys can just step aside. :P We need more BG vids though. Nailz, get crackin' you piece of shit. ^_^

Blind Guardian = great band.

I first heard of them from a clan member on WarCraft 3, then i met Flint and Nailz, who are bigger BG-type fans than me, and recommended some bands that were similar to them, like Nightwish, Kamelot, and Iced Earth (to name a few)

Blind Guardian is what's on my playlist right now :shock: :shock:

THey're just that damn good
