Coffee With Marcus Siepen of Blind Guardian

Ойын-сауық

Had Marcus Siepen of Blind Guardian stop by the office for a Coffee With Ola interview! An absolute pleasure to have him over.
SORRY for the dropout of audio nearing the end of the interview. The RODE microphone decided to NOT record that last part for some reason. Has never happened before.

    Marcus was (and still is) my childhood hero,and the biggest reason why I started playing guitar. Still one of my biggest influences,especialy for rhythm playing! I can say I made my way through music scene/industry in my country,and somehow I feel that I owe that to him.

  • @gandalf8216
    @gandalf8216Ай бұрын

    Just wanted to say that teaching their version of Uriah Heep's song The Wizard to people that wants to learn guitar is a great gateway to the magic of playing guitar. It has all the "cheats, tricks, chips and tips" of how the fret operates (to a novice. There's more to it I know). And Blind Guardian, oh man, for a band that big, it's sort of weird so few metal fans have listened to them. Sure, they have their ups and downs, but they have remained as consistent as Maiden, Sabbath and Priest over the years, and have existed for almost as long. If you like NWOBHM, but haven't heard Blind Guardian yet, I sort of envy you. Hansi is a unique voice in metal, and the guitars are also unique. Simple, straight to the point, but not without the magic of metal.

    "Imaginations From The Other Side" was my entrance into BG and i was a big fan for quite some time. I still follow a bit, what they are doing. They were really nice when my buddies and i met them on the "Guardian X-mas Tour" in 1996, i believe, with Yngwie Malmsteen, Skyclad and Rage. It was their stop in Kiel and we were talking a bit, especially to Marcus. He invited us to come with them in the bus to the next stop, which was Hannover. And we idiots refused, because we had our obligations, the next day...😂🙈
