Your popular opinions?

Last week I asked you about your unpopular opinions, now let's do the opposite. What's your common take/popular opinion? The one where most fans would agree?

Time Stands Still (on the Iron Hill) is so epic, the chorus is absolutely incredible.

A Night at the Opera is kinda hard to get into.

Help translation some latin lyrics.

Lux et tenebris

Lux et Veritas

Ultima tatere phala

Lux in aeternum

Angeli nova

Libera est tu vita

Et libido asto

A vi tere

A reo

These lines come from blind guardian's the ninth wave. I know what most of it means, but google translate seemed to have a stroke with the third line. It claims it means the last side of the phallus. I looked up phallus and it says penis, usually erect penis. This is commicly incorrect, no way that is the line. I got different results depending on how much I asked it to translate, when I only asked for phala it said it means porridge. Help would be appreciated, though do keep in mind it is possible that these simply are not the right lyrics, it can be hard to track down perfect lyrics with this band.​

A Night At The Opera - 30th Anniversary Show!

I saw an interview where Hansi said that he wished to perform Battlefield & Precious Jerusalem. Both are too difficult to pull off in a live setting. I distinctly remember him mentioning that the only way he could see it happening is for an ANATO anniversary show with an orchestra and choir to make it something special.

If this happened, a song like Battlefield could finally be able to be done live. ATTWS could have a grand orchestral performance that it deserves.

I also realized that Blind Guardian has too many fantastic songs from other albums that *also* deserve a full orchestra and backing choir. Therefore I came to the conclusion that this type of show should not be a full album performance.

Here is my proposed setlist:

  1. Battlefield

  2. Under The Ice

  3. Nightfall

  4. Precious Jerusalem

  5. Mordred’s Song

  6. Journey Through The Dark

  7. The Soulforged

  8. Lost In The Twilight Hall

  9. The Maiden And The Minstrel Night

  10. Sacred Worlds

  11. The Bard’s Song

  12. And Then There Was Silence

  13. Majesty

  14. Valhalla

  15. Mirror Mirror

Some additional notes:

- Battlefield *HAS* to be the opening song

- Guest Appearances from the Power Metal & Symphonic Metal scene to share lead & backing vocal duties for a few songs

- 6 songs from ANATO, 4 mandatory hit songs, 2 other fast songs to keep the energy, and 3 from other albums that deserve an orchestra + choir

Cheers from Tokyo!

Wanted to give a shoutout to the guy my daughter and I met in the elevator at the Tokyo Dome hotel the other day! He got on wearing a BG shirt and I immediately complimented him on it. We talked a bit about where we've each seen the band (US for me, Europe for him), he mentioned he'd seen them at Wacken and highly recommended going there if possible. Then the doors opened and we went our separate ways. Never got his name..
