Just imagine... you start a Band. One Day you are at the mainstage of one of the worlds greatest festivals... and after you announce the next song you just sit back because the crowd sings the song for you.

[siavashdtyford]

i'm living in Tehran-Iran, i never had a chance to go to a concert or festival. here they won't let the musicians play & never let the bands perform live. me & and so many other metalheads never allowed to get the visa or something to get someplace like Wacken or festivals like that. that is so sad. and when hansi sings "In a world far away, we may meet again" tears are all i see. not just because we're stuck in such hell, because i know someday soon we will meet again & sing the bard's song out loud once & for all.
pray for freedom my friends, just pray for it. Long Live Heavy Metal \m/

[saintricardo]

How European metalheads are born: *instantly knows the bard song*

[Mizri]

I will never understand how musicians don't just melt into a puddle of tears when they hear a crowd of thousands sing their songs back at them, that they wrote probably in a garage somewhere. Amazing. <3

[thatman]

I've seen some people call it lazy when Hansi lets the crowd sing but honestly it's just fucking magical to me.

[killerdude]

As an American, I have to say I am SO envious of the fact that Europe embraces the metal genre more than we do. That crowd is amazing!!! Thousands upon thousands there and ALL of them singing the Bard's Song word for word! Brings a tear to my eye.

[IkmelAAA]

The Bard's Song is the people's song.

[Kiterou]

I love the fact that Hansi looks like he could go to a semi casual buisness meeting. Shows that being metal is not only about looks. Jesus his voice is good!

[ThePowerPenguin]

Legends say the crowd is still singing valhalla

[kingfelipe]

So does everyone in Germany know The Bard's Song by memory or something?

[Quadraxis]

When the bard rolls a netural 20 on a performance check.

[abdulahad]

No phones, just vibing with the singer. That's what a concert needs most. Love and respect to the crowd

[ChiaraZerbinati]

I love Hansi's smile at 3:42, it reflects the artist's satisfaction in earing the whole audience singing his song, so moving

[Caffeine_And_Seawater]

I'm sure if Hansi wanted he wouldn't have to sing a word of The Bards song. He could just stand with his arms raised and the crowd would sing it all, and they probably wouldn't even mind cos it's The Bards Song and it's epic

[HappyMealGiel]

2:10 - The fact they could keep the guitars harmonized in time while the crowd were clapping at different times is incredible.

[benni]

If you see that you can´t deny that Metal is more than just music.

[mustaineforpresident]

We are brothers of metal. We don't know each other, yet we're bonded by blood.

[chrishawkins]

Whoever gave Blind Guardian a thumbs down needs their thumbs removed!

[mavil]

I think that the bard's song (in the forrest) is the most amazing song to sing with a crowd (and in your bed alone at 3 am flailing your arms in the air)

[jawherdjelassi]

Im 15, i live in Tunisia in north africa, so basically i have never been to a big concert even tho im a huge metal fan, i only watch gigs of local bands, so seeing 70 000 people there in Wacken, singing along, flashing the horns, witnessing the greatness of heavy metal, while not being able to be there, it sucks, it really does.
