To Hope Eternal: I would go see Blind Guardian over Maiden any day.

Although, I do want to see Maiden live one day.

This is why we can't allow metal to become popular. OVERBLOW IT SO WE GET TO GO TO ALL THE SHOWS!!!

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Power metal?

Without Maiden, there would be no such genre[/QUOTE]
I don't dispute that, but I don't like all power metal, either. Helloween were pioneers of the genre, but I don't think they are anything special. Sure, they have some good songs, but most of those are from their early era.

Sorry, but can you explain what you mean :p

We have to make people hate it even more than they already do, so the bands become less popular. Then, WE CAN GET ALL THE TICKETS! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Helloween is a bit lame...there's a few gems here and there, but they're WAY too simplistic for my tastes.

Oh...

*gets children away from crazy man*

:p I'm kidding

But Australia isn't getting any shows anyway, so what happens when people hat e metal? :(

Hmm, I really love Helloween, I have their discography apart from their latest album, Keeper of The Seven Keys - The Legacy. Is it any good?

[QUOTE=Riva]But Australia isn't getting any shows anyway, so what happens when people hat e metal? :([/QUOTE]

Buy a boat and sail the world looking for metal ports. It would be the power metal thing to do.

The Legacy is...different. It's almost rock, but not...

I think it's good for Helloween, but considering Helloween isn't one of my favorite bands, it's kinda blah...

Once again I say soemthing like this; I havn't heard any Helloween. Except for one song on Headbangers ball :-/

Which was pretty meh to me. Don't remember the title.

Yeah, I like Helloween, but a surprising number of their songs aren't that great for me :S

Yes and we can start by getting americans to hate Sonata Arctica and Dragonforce so they will tour the UK more (or atall in sonata's case):thumb:

Get [I]Walls Of Jericho[/I].

Ive only heard 'ride the sky', 'Mr torture' and 'Escaltion 666' (or something like that) and as great as mr torture is on the comedy scale i cant say they make me want to buy a helloween album


on a similar note i still think that nightfall in middleearth was a waste of money :upset:

I don't like NIME either.

NP: Jag Panzer - Licensed to Kill.

on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)

Like Running Wild, but Australian

Now that would be good.

like unholy inverted kangaroo good!

I need an Edguy album. My first one will be Hellfire Club. Then it will go from there.

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)[/QUOTE]

Pharoah is in my top three favorite Edguy tunes. A few other great tracks on there too.

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]on a positive note i think mandrake could be my new favourite Edguy album :)[/QUOTE]

Love that album. Nailed To The Wheel and Golden Dawn. \m/

The one thing I don't like about NIME is the production. The rhythm guitars are mixed WAY too low.

Yeah, thats true. Rythm giutars are pretty low in the mix. I don't think they wanted the rythms to stcik out as much though...

I think Fallen angels and all the clowns are my fav tracks off of it, speaking of which

/runs off to put mandrake on

The priduction isnt s bad as on A Night at The OPera though.

I think the production on [I]Nightfall In Middle Earth[/I] is great. It's sort of atmospheric, rather than bad.

I agree.

I like the production on all of their albums. They all fit the style perfectly.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]The priduction isnt s bad as on A Night at The OPera though.[/QUOTE]

ANATO doesn't have that bad production...you can hear everything semidecently.

The orchestra is kinda low though...

Same here...I don't think production is bad on NIME...and niether on the stuff I've heard from ANATO.

I still think NIME could be a bit better if you bring up the volume on the rhythm guitars just a tad...

Listening to Heavenly right now. Felt like trying something new. So far, it's not bad...a blatant Rhapsody ripoff, but good nonetheless.

Anyone know about Dungeon? They're Australian and power metal, so I feel like I should know them, but I haven't heard any of their stuff.

Yeah, you could say they had a small amount of popularity in here.

On the topic of blatent Rhapsody ripoffs, anyone listen to Thy Majestie?

Ha, they must be good then :P

Alright then! I'm back!

Yay for the other login just refusing to work... or send me e-mails with my password... or anything, really! Really bizarre!

Anything happen while I was away?

Rock on. :)

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]i dunno i think hes just some noob liar or somefing[/QUOTE]

I [I]hate[/I] that guy! :angry:

:p

Some wierd stuff's being happening with the forums getting hacked before, random dudes got banned etc. It'll all be sorted in due time.

I got into Ressurection alot more, and I decided that although Stratovarius were average for the most part, Fantasia really rocks.

Hey and all that:)
