BLIND GUARDIAN Congratulate FC Barcelona On Winning Champions League
June 9, 2015, 9 years ago
Rhenish metallers Blind Guardian recently played a show in Barcelona, Spain on their Beyond The Red Mirror tour. Before the show, FC Barcelona invited them into Nou Camp and the band was allowed to cheer with the Champions League trophy. Then they all got a blue/red FC Barcelona jersey. Guitar players André Olbrich and Marcus Siepen wore theirs on the stage instantly.
Singer Hansi Kürsch states: “We congratulate FC Barcelona from the bottom of our hearts on winning the UEFA Champions League. What an awesome club! We had a great day in Camp Nou. Messi plays like a god and the fans in Barcelona worship him like one.”
Kürsch adds with his typical irony: “The young German goalkeeper Ter Stegen originates in Niederrhein like us. So the success of FC Barcelona is a logical consequence of it.”
Blind Guardian will launch their North American tour in support of Beyond The Red Mirror on October 27th at Baltimore Soundstage in Baltimore, MD. Support on the trek will come from Grave Digger.
Blind Guardian vocalist / lyricist Hansi Kürsch comments on the upcoming tour: "Finally, the wait is over! It is almost impossible to tell you how thrilled we are about the announcement of this upcoming North American Tour. Don‘t miss your chance to meet Blind Guardian at our best shape ever. We are coming to blow your minds away. Let the games begin!!!"
