Top Ten Metal and Rock Musicians that Would Be Good Presidents
Hansi Kürsch, born Hans Jürgen Kürsch, is the lead singer, lyricist, co-composer and bassist for German power metal band Blind Guardian . Heavily influenced by Freddie Mercury, he creates a huge choir effect by overdubbing his own voice multiple times in complex, overlapping vocal harmonies. He records each vocal track individually because harmonizers and "perfect pitch" programs don't work with his voice due to distortion and the natural double layer effects his vocal cords have .His early technique made use of a more aggressive and harsher, "screaming" technique . ...read more.
This is the man - intelligent, hardworking, passionate, wise. He reads a lot and he obviously even read an old political writing by John Milton - "The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates". Milton legitimizes the killing of a king who didn't carry out his duties. Hansi wrote a song about it and sang it - Curse My Name by Blind Guardian. A fan-made youtube video is with scenes from To Kill a King movie.
I don't know if the theory about previous lives is true or false but I will use it as a metaphore: I think Hansi Kürsch was a king in his previous lives. He wrote so many songs about kings, described them so good and put so much emotion in these songs. These kings were tragic kings that were betrayed, killed and so on. I think Hansi knows that political power is a big responsibility.

I just watched his speach at Wacken 2016 and it reminded me he would make a great president - he respects all races, colors, religions, nations, etc. He's also very smart, brave and wise, with a very strong character. He's a good businessman, a charismatic leader and spokesman, and so on.
