Urgh, after hearing the greatness that is Mandrake, this let me down...

It's catchy, but it's not Edguy at all.

Video was...what the crap was that? :amaze:

Good looking bunnies though. :cool:

Man, I feel lonely. I really like that song.

I certainly don't think Rocket Ride (what I've heard of it anyway) is as good Hellfire Club in terms of their new approach, but it's still a lot better than the crap being shoved down my throat my radio and TV lately.

Personally, I see it as refreshing to have a metal band with such an off-kilter sense of humor. To say that Superheroes is "not Edguy at all" is, to me, unfair. You still hear their signature sound and techniques, and they still wear their influences on their sleeves like they always have.

Steerpike in the request music thread I asked for some Savatage and idk if you go in there but I figure it's appropriate to ask here too and i know your a big fan. I want a song that has that hard edge but is also symphonic like Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the same time, if such a thing does exist. From the one songs I've heard (The Price You Pay) they've got that heavy metal sound, but I hear no keyboard in it, and as far as I know Jon Oliva does the writing for both Savatage and TSO, so he must do some symphonic stuff. Could you email me some stuff?

NP - Iced Earth "Winter Nights"

This has to be one of the most enjoyable power metal songs that I have heard in a very long time.

You could take that song, video, the whole sound and vibe that the band has now and go back to 1985 and it would all fit right in nicely...

I'll send you some uploads tomorrow after the Slough Feg mailing list goes out.

If you want Savatage's more symphonic, rock opera sort of stuff, you need to look into post-HotMK material. I was actually about to do a write-up thread on them now, so I'll explain it better there. It should be up within the hour, I hope.

Quick question: why does everybody seem to take such sadistic glee in demonizing the 80's?

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Quick question: why does everybody seem to take such sadistic glee in demonizing the 80's?[/QUOTE]

I'm not demonizing, I'm Grandpa Oz, oldest Mxer, I grew up in the 80s. I've got videos of my band wearing spandex pants and playing songs by Cinderella to prove it <locked away of course to protect my dignity>

I like the video and the song isn't bad... look at the band pics on Hellfire Club and Tobias is even doing his David Lee Roth impression jumping up and doing the splits...

Oh. I guess I'm a little jaded. This last week I've had four arguments with people (online and off) who seem to believe the 80's were a wasted decade.

Wasted no, insanely tacky yes.

True, but for the most part the 80's was bombarded with high ambition and not enough money or technology to make it happen.

Imagine for just 5 minutes what the A-Team would be like if they had CSI's budget and John Woo worthy technology.

Take a moment to picture how much further Adam Ant could have taken his music back then if he had today's synthesizers, sequencers, etc.

And, go with me on this one, imagine a world in which the 80's seasons of Space Ghost and the Superfriends had the money to hire [i]good[/i] writers.

It's amazing to think that now, people have the tecnology to recreate that sort of thing on an extremely low budget. For $10,000 you can make a feature length movie. For around the same price, you can make a full-length studio album.

It seems though that Edguy, despite understanding this and still making a quality product, just can't please everybody. I guarantee that if they had not made the change in style that they did on Hellfire Club, everyone would be bitching that they're getting stale like Stratovarius.

But since they did make the change, other people are bitching that they didn't make Mandrake II.

No matter what you do, you're gonna piss off somebody.

I was just checking on this festival I was planning on going to this summer and they just confirmed Edguy will be comming and Gamma Ray, Manowar, Primal Fear and Jon Oliva's Pain are rumoured to be there too.

I love [I]Rocket Ride[/I]...
Superheroes, Trinidad and hair force one are my favourite tracks from there

Which Edguy album would be a good one to get first ?

Songs I know: Vain Glory Opera, Under the Moon, Land of the Miracle, King of Fools, Until we Rise Again, When a Hero Cries, Tears of a Mandrake, Scarlet Rose, Lavatory Love Machine, Super Heroes, Arrows Fly, Babylon, Fallen Angels and Heart of Twilight.

NP Edguy - Tears of a Mandrake

What do you guys think of the bands Pagan's Mind and Olympos Mons. I recently checked them out on Limewire and I think they're awesome.

Definately. I love Edguy even more than before after seeing them live, although they didn't play Trinidad.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Which Edguy album would be a good one to get first ?[/QUOTE]

If you like your metal with a lot of balls, definitely Hellfire Club, but if you prefer the lighter side (and that's not to say this album is wimpy or anything), Mandrake.

:)

Thanks. I'll look into Hellfire Club :)

Vain Glory Opera > Hellfire Club

My opinion at least.

This is realy cool...Hansi makes an apearance on the album Vain Opera Glory, track 5 and 6. I read this, and listened to the song Vain Glory Opera and when he comes in you can't mistake him :)

Taking what Lord Tim said in consideration, I'm debating wether to get Vain Opera Glory or Hellfire Club. Good songs on both.

NP Edguy - Until We Rise Again...One of the reasons I'm not sure which to get...

[QUOTE=Postman Pie]Definately. I love Edguy even more than before after seeing them live, although they didn't play Trinidad.[/QUOTE]
Would have loved that. Catch of the century and superheroes were great.
Love the fact they played Lavatory love machine.

Huge singalong there.

Im gonna get Rocket Ride soon,
Along with Sonata Arctica - Silence, which I have been wanting for ages, just never had funds when Ive seen it in stores.

I am so proud I can almost play the solo for Rhapsodys Dawn of Victory.

Of course you should be proud Dommie boy :D

Damn, where was I?! :mad:

/looks for the tracks

^ Hehe. I havnt heard track 5, but for the song Vain Opera Glory, its only for a few seconds (I think) but still...its Hansi.

NP Blind Guardian - Hall of the King

[QUOTE=Steerpike][url=http://www.youtube.com/w/Edguy-Superheroes?v=ggpJ47RigeI&search=edguy]Here you go.[/url][/QUOTE]

That was hilarious :lol: Only Edguy would do something like that :p

However, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else on this one in that it's not up to par with what I've heard from them before.

That video is awesome

I know it's only me but the concept reminds me of [url=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8645566879577632708&q=a+perfect+circle]A Perfect Circle video[/url]

Ollie, is your new usertitle taken from Manos: the Hands of Fate?

Nah, It's a Brutal Death song I just wrote.

Lord Abortion, Do you just write the lyrics of songs ? Or the music too ?

Just curious...

Just Lyrics, I have no musical knowlege whatsoever.
Can't play an instrument, or anything :)

You can growl though :evil:

Oh okay then...I should have listened to those Trooper vocals you did a short while ago..I never heard you sing.

An another note : I got me computer. Just need to set it up and I will be able of taking plenty of samplers from here :)

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Nah, It's a Brutal Death song I just wrote.[/QUOTE]

Oh. Just asking because one of the riffs from the MST3K episode with Manos was that the character of Torgo looks like a chainsaw sculpture.
