You want the WHOLE DVD? I'm not gonna do that...

If you want one video, I'll see if I can do that, but...

1. I don't know how to get videos offa the DVD yet. Haven't ever tried it.
2. I don't do anything for free (cept help people with personal problems...this doesn't count as one).
3. I don't have a contact address.

You provide me with 2 out of 3 of these, and I'll see if i can help. Not today though, got a ton of work to do.

Traditionally, its fast, uptempo, happier music. Usually with a keyboardist, however, there have been instances without. Also, generally the singer has a clean singing voice.

I think many Power metal lyrics aren't really that cheesey, SA ones are pretty good, NW lyrics, are, IMO, virtually devoid of any, Stratovarius is prob. more guilty on that score, as are Hammerfall, but the bands with the worst, cheesiest lyrics are poppier, "hair metal" - type bands, like VH or, worse still, Kiss. I bloody hate lyrics that lamely tell me to "Rock all day, Roll all night" or say "These are crazy, crazy, crazy, nights!" then compound the insult to my intelligence by shouting "All right!" as the rhyme. That I really detest.
Not too much of that thoughtless, cop-out crap in PM

ManOwar are the Kings of cheesy, meaningless lyrics!

"May your sword stay wet, like a young girl in her prime" is the best lyric of all time.

Avant Garde music is basically music that challenges what is commonly known as music, or in other words, pushes the common musical boundaries. It often includes abnormal instruments, noises, and ochestrated elements. Anyone who can describe it better, feel free to add.

So I just picked up the newest Kamelot album, The Black Halo, and I'm really digging it. It has quite a few softer moments, but they're well placed and don't get boring. Lots of good riffs and extremely melodic. I'd recommend it to anyone in here. As someone mentioned earlier, it does have some progressive elements at times. If anyone wants to download a "testing" track try Momento Mori, a killer track indeed.

Nevermore, the definition of modern metal and future of metal! They mix so many genres, I dont feel the label power is enough. If you ever feel like checking out a similar band, consider Communic

NP Nevermore - hit of the year (and this decade :D) - Bornid say biomechanical would be a good one too.

I first heard of them back in 2002 after the release of their debut but somehow the pantera like groove was a turn off for me. Obviously, my taste has evolved since then so I guess it's high time I re-checked them. Any, preferably not too groovy, song suggestions?

In general, the Odyssey is heavier and darker than Divine Wings, but lacks the classical touch. I haven't listened to either extensively enough to say if one is "better" than the other, but the style differences are apparent.

They're...uh...prog/power with harsh and clean vocals. Probably. I've heard Buried in Oblivion is a great album, I have two songs from it and they're good.

The Opeth/Nevermore tour comes to my area, and tickets are only $15!

However, I've heard from a few sources that the place they're playing at is madness, and that I probably wouldn't survive. No wonder it's only $15.

I must make a choice - See Opeth and Nevermore, and possibly die? Or just not take my chances.

Actually, Worchester was a typo. I meant to say Philadelphia, but I saw Worchester on the list and it brings back memories of the disappointment I felt last spring when I realized I wouldn't be able to make the road trip up to Massachusetts to see Nightwish because I forgot that Spring Break at my campus is in late March, not early April.

So add to the fact that I'm kind of tired, and...

Anyway, DC looks the most likely. It'll be easier to get transportation there.

Like, I said, I need to see if any of my friends would be interested. I don't have my license right now, as I can't pay for the car insurance. No sense having something I won't be using. And even if I did have the insurance paid off, I don't have a car. Which only brings up that fact that the payments on the car wouldn't leave much room for gas anyway.

God, being unemployed sucks.

Anyway, I should have enough room on my credit card for a ticket and a little compensation fee for gas for my friend.

What about compared to their other albums? I have Divine Wings Of Tragedy and Twilight In Olympus...the former I enjoy the hell out of, the latter I haven't really listened to much.

Exactly what the other guy say. The Odyssey, alhough crunchier and darker lacks the classical touch. It used to be my favourite for a certain period but now I prefer Divine Wings of Tragedy, which is much closer to power metal compared to the groovy The Odyssey.

I felt it necessary to do that...

You cant imagine how many times I've caught myself whispering Mirror Mirror, Nightfall and Mordred's Song while walking on the street :p

my mom doesent mind those bands but she really like nightwish and kamelot right now.

:lol: That's a cool mom! My mom's only experience with metal is when she once played a Cryptopsy album instead of the Abba one I had burnt for her...



Opeth + Nevermore + Into Eternity and still wondering whether you should go to this or to the COB?!?!

I would go for Nevermore and Into Eternity and left when Opeth came on stage

I've had some problems with this album, despite it being one of BG fans favorites. The album just doesn't contain what most of the others do, and the sound and quality seem a bit lower than the others.
