Cool song! I see what people mean about guardian 'going rock.'

I'm not too keen on the post-intro/post-solo quiet bits, however.

Pretty cool song. Not sure how I feel about the video though.

This song is the one that sounds most rock-ish on the album, but there is alot more metal than I expected on the album. It's quite a wide-ranged mix of old and new.

And yeah, the video is cool!

Really like the rockin groove this song's got to it. Definitley a different direction than Blind Guardian is known for. As far as I'm concerned, Ehmke has proven to be a worthy replacement for Thomen. As far as metal music videos go, this one is pretty good.

Wow, I,ve never been a huge Blind Guardian fan but if that song is any indication of how the new album will sound than count me in. Killer track!

You can actually hear the guitars up front in the mix now which was something I personally thought was always lacking in BG. Sounded a lot more mature and I didn't hear any cheese factor either. In the song that is. The video is another story. Didn't like that much at all.

Hansi in a suit and making all those ridiculous faces and trying to look menacing...oh please. I haven't read the lyrics to the new album but aren't they about fantasy, what's with the Pulp Fiction ?

I would much rather choose This Will Never End or Otherland for video, but i guess bringing them down to 3:50 is impossible. The video looked expensive tho.

Woo! Finally got the thing working, and it rocks! The album should be good.

And I hope that they do get really big off the back of it, and all the kids like them. They deserve it.

Well Ive never been a fan of music vids. Unless they are funny or just plain weird I just watch them once then never bother again. Least it didn't have them acting the actual scenes themselves.

As for the music, give me "Another Holy War" or "Born in a morning Hall" or "I'm alive" any day.................... Still buy the album though

Goddamnit. This is not what I envisioned for Blind Guardian. The song sucks, and the video is gayer than shit. Why are they all wearing suits??? What happened to the days of them wearing Queensryche and Iced Earth Shorts???

It's a video, dude. The label pays a director, they call the shots. Who cares either way, this will never be played on MTV.

For shits 'n' giggles, I'd imagine.

Fuck, What a strange video for Blind Guardian, a band that was supposed to be about wizards and dragons, I'm shocked :shock:

That song was one the band mentioned as being a little different for them. Considering "Fly" was the lead off single, I wonder why there wasn't a video for that song?

probably because the song sucked. And it probably will get air time on Mtv or Mtv 2, they're playing that Avenged Sevenfold crap, this isnt that much different. This is way better, but still they're treading in the same water.

No way in hell this is getting on Mtv. Mtv only plays rap/hip hop and shit like fallout boy. Mtv 2 maybe.

God, you do sound like an idiot at times. This is like Avenged Sevenfold? What is wrong with you?

Holy acts as though he knows so much and then makes comments that literally make no sense as if he is unaware of what is actually going on musically in the song(s) he's discussing. I think when he doesn't like the direction a band is going in, he looks for an insult whether or not it's actually accurate.

I kind of agree with HT here. It doesn't sound like A7x but if they can get airtime in mtv, this could too. Any BG song could, for that matter. It doesn't mean they sold out or anything.

I love the song btw.

Akercocke wears them and doesn't get any shit.

Actually I think I fucking like this. Jesus, I must be getting soft in my head or some shit. But yeah, I fucking dig it. Damn I might have to eat my words and buy this album. Bizarro world. for sure.
