Yes, I've heard Thundergods and Burn Your Crosses. Top notch songs.

**Thunderstorm ;)

Good, good Jason. You should get the entire thing though. All of you. First for Fight>>>Primo Victoria in my opinion since the riffage is more complex and the song writing more tight.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I check out Sabaton's [I]Primo Victoria[/I] today, and it's not too bad. I could do without the keyboards, though.

I've also been listening to [I]Ample Destruction[/I] alot lately. \m/

Such a great album.[/QUOTE]

Ample Destructioon is one of my all time favorites from the 80s. I love the trade offs during the sort of mellow bit on [I]Harder Than Steel[/I] That album was before it's time...

Thundergods rules. That riff in the beginning is excellent.

Warfare is so awesome.

I have most of the tracks off of the album since I can't get my hands on the real thing. Masters of the World grew on me pretty quickly.

I still enjoy Primo Victoria more though as Joakim's vocals were at their best and the bigger budget for production gave it a much stronger sound.

I like the songs I got from FFF, but not quite as much as the Primo ones... Burn your crosses is the best of them though. Again, it shows how they are masterful at making a great chorus.

[QUOTE=JausmetalJ]Ok, so im goin to write up a list of albums to get... Would you be able to give me some ideas for more?

So far I have:
sonata arctica - Silence
Helloween - Kot7K part II
Dragonforce - Inhumane rampage
Gamma Ray-Powerplant
Lost Horizon - A Flame To The Ground Beneath
Sabaton - Primo Victoria
Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King
Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth
Tarot - Stigmata
Galloglass - Legends From Now And Nevermore
Running Wild - Black Hand Inn
Edguy - Hellfire club

[/QUOTE]

Kamelot!!!! Their album Epica is amazing. And yes I realise you probably posted this many months ago

And also Running Wild and I would recommend their album Port Royal, although Black Hand Inn is very good

You could also have Stratovarius. Their best song is Black Diamond

Out of curiousity, I'd like to inquire with you, oh sages of power metal, what a good name for a hero would be?

A hero who battles a dark sorcerer to save the dragon young.

Frank Sinatra.

Or (seriously), Aiden Hopesfall?

EDIT: Man, I never knew how much stuff Nightwish actually released...stupid non US distribution. *grumble*

Dravinaar.

EDIT: Too evil sounding.

Tamaris.

So I love [I]Hall Of The Mountain King[/I], what Savatage album should I get next?

[QUOTE]LORD To Support QUEENSRŸCHE In Australia[/QUOTE]

Well done Timmy :D \m/

You guys have no idea how happy I am about this!! :D

Since you covered Queen Of The Reich one would assume you are all gigantic Queensryche fans. :D

It's an awesome song.

Rage For Order was the first metal album I ever bought and I've been a massive QR fan since I was 16. Now I'm sharing a stage with them.

*changes soiled pants again for the 458,764th time today*

:D :D :D

That's going to be really cool. Geoff Tate is brilliant.
He sounds pretty much as close to Bruce Dickinson you can get without actually stealing his genes in some sort of sick experiment, so it bodes well for a man's talent.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]So I love [I]Hall Of The Mountain King[/I], what Savatage album should I get next?[/QUOTE]

[I]The Wake Of Magellan[/I] definitely.

[QUOTE=Lord Tim]You guys have no idea how happy I am about this!! :D[/QUOTE]

Haha, awesome news. Congratulations.

Queensryche were good when I saw them open for Priest.

Hey, Dungeon should open for Priest, now there's a tour.

[QUOTE]Hey, Dungeon should open for Priest, now there's a tour.[/QUOTE]
Lord* :p

and yes, that would be a fine tour.

I got some Sanctuary yesterday, it's good stuff.

There's 2 bands I want to tour with before I die, and that's Maiden and Priest.

Don't think for a second we're not doing everything we can to make that happen in the next few years! HAHA!

I don't see why not really. Maybe not in the US because your distribution sucks (hint hint), but Europe or Aussieland, why not?

I could see it happening in Aus.

I need to see Priest and Maiden before I die. They are getting old, and this worries me :-\

[QUOTE=Deth]I don't see why not really. Maybe not in the US because your distribution sucks (hint hint), but Europe or Aussieland, why not?[/QUOTE]

Yes, well, we're aware of our... "good" distro in the US, and let's just say steps are being taken for LORD not to suffer the same kind of fate as Dungeon did (unfortunately the final Dungeon album that will be out this year will still be in the same boat as previous releases).

Go one Steerpike ask him to do vocals for you lol.

Tell you Tim can't wait to see you at Metal for the Brain this year in Canberra. My mate saw you as Dungeon once and he said you were fanstatic and he has never listened to a bit of Power Metal in his life! (well apart from what I show him) So yaa I expect a great show :D

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I could see it happening in Aus.

I need to see Priest and Maiden before I die. They are getting old, and this worries me :-\[/QUOTE]

Maiden havent toured Australia since 1992 :p

Tis worries me. And Jono rather you need to see Preist and Maiden befoer THEY die.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I need to see Priest and Maiden before I die. They are getting old, and this worries me :-\[/QUOTE]

Same here. Unfortunately I think it's unlikely that it will happen. :(

Also, I'm going to miss seeing LORD twice in July. :upset:

Why mate?

because Maiden haven't been here in ages, and it's not as if they don't have a fanbase here :-\

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Tis worries me. And Jono rather you need to see Preist and Maiden befoer THEY die.[/QUOTE]

Bah, what doesn't kill them makes them stronger. They'll tour in wheelchairs if they have to.

Man, opening for Queensryche...pretty high profile gig. Congrats on that. :)

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Why mate?[/QUOTE]

Umm, I'm not exactly sure what your asking, so I'll answer both. Well, Jono answered one. :p

[QUOTE=Apocalytic Raids]because Maiden haven't been here in ages, and it's not as if they don't have a fanbase here :-\[/QUOTE]


As for me missing the Lord gigs (one being with Queensryche), it's because I won't be in Brisbane, as will have gone home for uni holidays. I'm actually missing the Lord/Queensryche gig by less than 12 hours. :(

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]because Maiden haven't been here in ages, and it's not as if they don't have a fanbase here :-\[/QUOTE]

There have been a great many petitions and people complaining about how maiden never go to australia on the Iron maiden BB, so you never know what might happen.

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]Go one Steerpike ask him to do vocals for you lol.

[/QUOTE]

That was me looking for someone to do vocals for this month's competition entry. No one has volunteered so I'll probably just submit it with my own :(

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]

*they :D

[QUOTE=metaloz]That was me looking for someone to do vocals for this month's competition entry. No one has volunteered so I'll probably just submit it with my own :([/QUOTE]

It's a very good song man and although they vocals do sound a bit awkward they're not bad. The style heavily reminds me of Twisted Tower Dire, are you familiar with them? On another note I wonder why Ollie didnt volunteer...

He did, just 500 people mobbed him with their songs.

[QUOTE=Stoic]*they :D

I have to go back on my offer unfortunately, due to my microphone being completely broken.

I think the vocals sound pretty good as they are though.

I'm on My third Maiden show in December, The new album sounds like it's gonna be incredible.
I missed Priest last time on the AOR tour...had no money for the ticket. Stupid ticketmaster and their ludicrous charges.

I want to see Maiden eventually.

I check often to see when the BG tickets will go on sale :D

NP-Stratovarius-Speed of light

Now[I] That's[/I] a riff!

Yeah, that's my favourite Strato song. I havent heard much though.
