Blind Guardian En La Sala La Riviera Blind Guardian en la sala La Riviera. 5 de noviembre de 2010 Por November Teardrops Eran alrededor de las 16.00h cuando llegué a la fila del concierto. Aquel cinco de noviembre había amanecido inusualmente soleado, lo que había animado a la gente a acudir desde temprano a esperar a las puertas de sala madrileña La Riviera para ver a los alemanes Blind Guardian. Desde más o menos la mitad de la cola de unas doscientas personas –por el momento-, me saludaron mis compañeros, que llevaban allí ya más de una hora. A pesar de que la apertura de puertas se anunciaba a las 19.00h de la tarde, ellos tampoco habían querido quedarse sin sitio en las primeras filas. La verdad es que nunca me hubiera esperado tal afluencia de público desde prácticamente mediodía, y menos tras su actuación un par de años atrás en Guadalajara, donde apenas consiguieron reunir a más de trescientas personas. Contrariamente a lo que me esperaba, afuera se respiraba muy buen ambiente y encontramos muchas caras conocidas entre los asistentes. Me preguntaba si todos los allí presentes conocían que los cambios en el cartel habían sido sustanciales: la organización de Rock n’ Rock anunciaba que telonearían a los Blind las bandas Enforcer y Steelwing, sin embargo ya era conocido que Enforcer no asistiría al evento. Aún así todos –entre los cuales me incluyo- esperábamos que los suecos Steelwing nos deleitaran con su metal de corte clásico, pero cuál fue mi sorpresa cuando el día anterior, al revisar su Myspace oficial, me encontré con una fecha en Vienna en lugar de la de Madrid junto a Blind Guardian. Vergonzoso que Rock n’ Rock no publicara esta modificación por cubrirse las espaldas. Sabiendo que eran dos grupos los que se habían caído del cartel y que la duración del set list de los Guardian sería el mismo que si acudieran ambos teloneros, el precio de las entradas, obviamente, no varió. Como ya lo suponíamos, con tan sólo un grupo en el cartel, la apertura de puertas se retrasó casi una hora; lo lógico si pensamos que, de no ser así, el concierto hubiera acabado a las 21.00h de la noche. A ello se sumó la hora y media que tardaron Blind Guardian en subirse al escenario. La gente de mi zona comentábamos el suceso: “el público estará calentito, menuda les va a caer a los de Rock n’ Rock”. Sin embargo, y lejos de todas nuestras sospechas, cuando los focos se apagaron y comenzaron a sonar las primeras notas de Sacred Worlds, los asistentes entraron prácticamente en éxtasis y olvidaron todo lo relacionado con la organización. Las siluetas de los músicos se dibujaron al contraluz sobre los paneles de leds que cubrían el fondo. ¿La primera – y se puede decir que grata- sorpresa? Hansi Kürsch, vocalista del grupo, aparecía totalmente cambiado, con un buen corte de pelo y bastante más delgado que dos años atrás. Entre una nube de aplausos finalizaron los Guardian la canción que abría su último álbum, At the Edge of Time, y el cual venían a presentar. Tras ella, continuaron sonando Welcome to Dying, Born in a Mourning Hall y la épica Nightfall, todo un clásico de la banda que se encontraba en su trabajo Nightfall in Midle Earth y que, para mi gusto, agotaron demasiado pronto, pues hubiera sido una buena candidata para los bises. Enseguida, Hansi, como buen frontman, quiso entablar conversación con el entregado público e incluso se atrevió a articular alguna frasecilla en español: “Madrid, sois los mejores, os queremos”-dijo. Aunque pronto aseguró que mejor hablaría en inglés y procedió a presentar el siguiente tema, Fly. Contra toda predicción, la gente no dejó de animar a la banda además de participar activamente en sus canciones: coreaba fuertemente los estribillos, daba palmas al ritmo… impresionante. Time Stands Still (at the Iron Hill) y Traveller in Time fueron las siguientes candidatas, pero el público quería Majesty, incluida en su álbum debut Batallions of Fear, y se encargó de dejárselo claro a los alemanes. Los guitarras, André Olbrich y Marcus Siepen sonreían, mientras Hansi mantenía que aún no había llegado el momento. Aún así, no se hicieron demasiado de rogar, y tras This Will Never End y A Past and Future Secret, Hansi bromeó: “Me pareció oir que no dejabais de pedir Majesty… Bien, pues hoy es vuestro día de suerte”, y con los primeros acordes de la esperada canción, la sala entera se volcó con el grupo aún más si cabía. La siguieron Tanelorn (into the void)e Imaginations from the Other Side, tras las cuales la banda se despidió “hasta muy pronto”. Aún así todos sabíamos que volverían para deleitarnos con algunos de sus temas más conocidos, y pronto las luces volvieron a encenderse con Wheel of time, también de su último disco. Uno de los momentos más álgidos del concierto llegó con The bard’s song – in the forest, una de las baladas más emotivas de la banda, que terminó contundentemente con Valhalla, Lord of the Rings, y Mirror, Mirror. El público estaba feliz, los Blind Guardian habían superado con mucho sus expectativas y eso se nota: los músicos se soltaron mucho más que en otras actuaciones -en especial Hansi, que hizo todo lo posible para hacer disfrutar a los allí presentes- y al finalizar, lanzaron al público uno de los parches de la batería dedicado y firmado. Al salir, muchos eran los que habían quedado impresionados con el show y abarrotaron el puesto de merchandising para adquirir una camiseta de la banda. Mientras navegaba hasta la puerta entre la marea de gente que había inundado la sala, me encontré con unos conocidos que blandían orgullosamente en la mano un set list que Marcus les había dado, y mientras comentaron lo que muchos pensaban “llevamos aquí desde las ocho y media de la mañana y estamos cansadísimos, pero ha merecido la pena. Hemos pagado por verlos más de treinta euros, pero sinceramente, volveríamos a pagarlos. Ha sido impresionante”. .

  • Classical Myth and History in Heavy Metal: Power, Escapism and Masculinity
    Classical Myth and History in Heavy Metal: Power, Escapism and Masculinity With the possible exception of opera, heavy metal makes greater use of Classical material than any other genre of contemporary music. This paper will suggest some of the reasons for the connection between Classics and heavy metal, and discuss what these reasons can add to our understanding of the modern reception of the ancient world. A brief overview of the history of heavy metal and its subgenres will show the extent to which Greco-Roman myth and history are an established part of the music from its beginnings. Because metal is in some ways a conservative genre, with an established canon of artists (Weinstein), the use of Classical material by these canonical bands sanctions the continued use of such material by subsequent bands. From its very beginnings, metal shows an interest in fantastic material from other times and places: Black Sabbath draws on the realm of fantasy and the occult (e.g. “The Wizard”) and Led Zeppelin draws on contemporary fantasy such as Tolkien (“Battle of Evermore”) and Classics (“Achilles Last Stand” [sic]). These trends are continued and developed by other “traditional” metal bands such as Iron Maiden, who use Classical material (“The Flight of Icarus,” “Alexander the Great”) as well as literary material (“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”). These early bands demonstrate some of the main trends of heavy metal lyrics: in comparison with most popular music, there is less focus on the quotidian, and the ancient world is just one of the realms on which bands draw for inspiration, with the others being books (especially fantasy), movies and history.

  • Heavy Metal the Cultural Roots
    HEAVY METAL THE CULTURAL ROOTS A WORK BY FILIPPO FESTUCCIA Despite being – quite truthfully, I have to admit – known in for many years as an extremely noisy and immoral music, there is no doubt that heavy metal gives the most cultural suggestions to modern music. It is indeed true that the press never states this fact. (Even musical magazines have some sort of repulsion against heavy metal). They do nothing but praise the newest fashions. However, we are not going to generalize, we are not going to hide all the explicitly satanic, noisy, violent, disgusting side of heavy metal, all the evil figures that are rightfully associated with sub-genres such as black metal (we have a clear example in Burzum, who is still in jail after having committed a brutal homicide; but it’s true that even in black metal we can find fine musicians and really polite people): that kind of music is the expression of situations as hard to deny as to accept. But I don’t see fairness in how heavy metal is spoken of by the “others”, every time our music becomes an instrument in the hands of scandal-mongering press in every day’s reality show. I believe therefore that we need a little rehabilitation for all the amazing musicians who dedicate their lives in spreading culture and good values through heavy metal. AND THEN THERE WERE BLACK SABBATH The birth of metal is still a riddle. We won’t plunge into the unsolvable debate about the first heavy metal artist (some say Led Zeppelin were the first, some say Steppenwolf, Grand Funk Railroad, Cream, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix and many others…), but we will assume here as fact that Black Sabbath were the first heavy metal band.

  • Blind Guardian
    Blind Guardian Discographie, Touraktivitäten und der Stand der Dinge Für gewöhnlich wird der Werdegang einer x-beliebigen Band anhand der Qualität ihrer (Studio-)Albumveröffentlichungen beurteilt. Doch im Falle Blind Guardian – bietet sich auch ein Blick auf die Dimension der Live-Aktivitäten an, um die Entwicklung der Musiker zu bewerten. Und die sucht nicht nur im deutschen Maßstab Ihresgleichen: Bereits die Live-Feuertaufe des 1984 gegründeten Quartetts verblüffte mit einer wesentlichen Erkenntnis: die Band besaß Entertainment-Fähigkeiten, welche schnell zu einem Markenzeichen avancierten. Das spontane Reagieren auf die entsprechenden Situationen hob B.G. von all jenen Kapellen ab, die krampfhaft versuchten, ihr einstudiertes Ballet und ihre Ansagen herunterzuspulen. Folgerichtig ließ die erste amtliche Tournee nach Veröffentlichung des Debüt BATTALIONS OF FEAR (1988) nicht lange auf sich warten. Bereits während dieser begrüßten die Krefelder pro Abend zwischen 150 und 300 Fans. Nach dem Erscheinen des Zweitlings FOLLOW THE BLIND (1989) setzte eine Blinddarmoperation den damals noch den Bass bedienenden Frontmann Hansi Kürsch außer Gefecht, so dass schweren Herzens auf eine ausgedehnte Gastspielreise verzichtet werden musste. Dafür holte der Vierer das Versäumte in den Folgejahren um so intensiver nach, zumal die dritte Scheibe TALES FROM THE TWILIGHT WORLD(1990) einschlug wie die viel zitierte Bombe und das Interesse nach Blind Guardian- Konzerten stark steigern ließ. Drei Wochen lang tourten Kürsch, Olbrich & Co. durch Deutschland und konstatierten dabei mit 500 bis 800 Zuschauern stets „volle Hütten“. Sogar ein erstes Auslands-Engagement wurde möglich. SOMEWHERE FAR BEYOND (1992) bestätigte diesen Aufwärtstrend. Und zwar brachialer, als die Buben vom westlichen Rheinufer zu erträumen wagten, denn: Zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Band stand ein Album auf Platz eins der internationalen Albumcharts – Blind Guardian waren übernacht Stars in Japan.
