Blind Guardian is well known in Europe, but very little overseas. I went to a concert once and the mood was really good. The crowd sang for themselves for half an hour. The band was going for 3 hours altogether. Everyone was friendly (nothing else I expected with power metal).

- mlinhares 3y agoA Blind Guardian concert in Latin America might have been the closest thing I've ever had to a religious experience, now that I think about it.
- Klonoar 3y agoJapan and Metal have a unique relationship at this point.
- scop 3y agoI don’t know much about it, other than knowing some of my favorite bands have huge followings there. Can anybody educate me how the Japanese metal scene functions? Are there certain genres that have a hold or is it totally diverse?

- Klonoar 3y agoEh, if you're gonna link a Reddit thread on it, you may as well just invite /u/tokyometal to this forum and have 'em answer directly - they're effectively the only authority of the underground metal scene over there. My initial comment was moreso based on the number of limited releases that Japan's gotten from metal albums over the years, coupled with touring there being more complicated - so when bands _do_ get to tour over there, it's usually a crazy good show. Drives demand, etc.
