Man, Hansi looks like a hobo in that...

You gotta love how Oilberch (spelling) hasn't bothered to change his guitar in the longest time...

haha I noticed :p

What's a hobo?

Hobo, bum, urban explorer, whatever. The homeless people living on the streets of cities.

You guys see this yet? [url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=wAs062wmGpo[/url]

New misic vidoe from Blind Guardian. Gawd I love Hansi.[/QUOTE]

That is such a ****[I]t[/I]y song.

I wouldn't know about any of this. Apparently, YouTube and my computer have a vendetta against one another.

Hey thread :wave:

Does anyone in here like Nocturnal Rites? I picked up their Shadowland album the other day, mainly because I had £6 to spare and its got a great cover...it didn't really blow me away or anything, but for a PM album it was pretty solid.

Nocturnal Rites are almost [I]too[/I] solid for their own good. It's very good stuff, but they just never seem to do anything extraordinary, or out of the norm.

They're okay. Not really burning up my wishlist, but still cool.

EDIT

Just finished the first song for my Urban Arcana series. I might make an EP out of this if I can ever get a band together. Might even do the vocals myself if I can get a teacher.

The title is The Veil of Shadow.

[i]Teeming crowds and neon signs
Seething masses unaware
Roaming streets and alleyways
A world of danger everywhere

What you don't know is very real
A flash of movement, flash of steel

Visions that you dream about
Tales of creatures now unknown
Storybook and rhyme shall tell
Our population's not alone

The ancient dream world comes alive
They're now looking to survive

Veil of Shadow
A tide between worlds
Bringing forth the stuff of all our dreams
Veil of Shadow

Broadswords swapped for Glock 19s
Sorcery on the internet
Monsters in society
Spirits moving the planchette

The fog and darkness leave behind
A visitor of Shadowkind

Veil of Shadow
A tide between worlds
Bringing forth the horrors from our dreams
Veil of Shadow

Luck to those gifted and cursed with sight beyond ours
If you can see the magic, then it can see you back

Veil of Shadow
A tide between worlds
Bringing forth the stuff of all our dreams
Veil of Shadow

Veil of Shadow
A tide beyond worlds
Bringing forth the mysteries of our dreams
Veil of Shadow

I do not know how I came to be here. All I can say is that I am here now. That is enough.[/i]

I thought it was all very good, except for this one verse. I'm not sure, it just doesn't fit very well.

Huh. I kind of liked the imagery in that one. Anybody else?

Awesome, i really liked those. Didn't even have to go on endlessly about dragons and castles :p
I can kind of see how that verse would not fit.. it's a bit more.. specific I guess, for lack of a better term, than the rest. Still think it's a good verse though.

I got Dreamscape and Visions of Europe by Stratovarius for cheap when I was in Rome, 20 Euros for both, that's about £16 in non-Monopoly money.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Huh. I kind of liked the imagery in that one. Anybody else?[/QUOTE]

If the music is half as good as the lyrics the imagery should be fine. I wish there were more powermetal fans around here so I could play in a pm band (or thet the pm fans I know could play guitar).

I'd like to show you guys the music I've worked out thus far, but ever since tab code was disabled, it's been a little difficult.

I had my first Gamma ray experience last night, Somewhere out in Space. Awesome is all I can say!

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Huh. I kind of liked the imagery in that one. Anybody else?[/QUOTE]

I just thought that the rest of the song had a serious tone about it, and that one had a much more typical, cheesy power metal sound to it, the first three lines in particular.

Well, my amazon order arrived while the internet was down. Among other albums, I got:

Dungeon - A Rise To Power (with the European man-beast cover)
Falconer - Sceptre of Deception
Savatage - Edge Of Thorns

I was very chuffed, as you can imagine.

[QUOTE](with the European man-beast cover)[/QUOTE]
haha, the poo monster!

Jason, go back a few pages and I posted a sample of the new Dungeon.

Okay I just finished writing the music for The Veil of Shadow. Solo still needs some work, and since it's all GuitarPro midi, the mixing and sound in some parts is kind of balls.

But if anybody wants to take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. None of my metalhead friends are currently local.

I'm interested to hear it.

Gamma Ray are great and very underrated.

I have been listening to Shadowland by Nocturnal Rites a hell of alot recently.

Superb album.

I wantz to hear. I love GP4/5 midis.

So, anyone heard the new Rhapsody (of Fire) album, Triumph or Agony?

No, and I really want to.

My friend sent it to me the other day... It's not a bad album, just really not what I was expecting. I'd rather it lose a good deal of its symphonic qualities and replace them with some more power metal qualities. The Mystic Prophecy Of The Demon Knight kicks *** though.

[I]The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight[/I] is awesome and I think the album as a whole is good, too. Maybe not as good as their best albums, but good nonetheless.

I'm seeing Dragonforce on monday !

Wasn't expecting that on vacation haha.

NP Blind Guardian - Noldor

Lucky bastard...Dragonforce is playing the EXACT SAME DAY here as the day we got tickets for Gigantour. I'm not sure which is better...

The one thing I don't like about Rhapsody is, aside from certain songs with memorable moments, they really are quite interchangeable.

Interchangable but enjoyable is how I describe them.

God Riva you always come up with the best avatars. Seriously I remember that cartoon now. LOL!

Don't you open that trapdoor!

Cause there's something down their ahh.
Burp!

Haha thats was the best. Mmm memorys

[QUOTE=pate]Interchangable but enjoyable is how I describe them.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, and all their song titles kick poontang.

NP: Blind Guardian - Time Stands Still at the I-rawn Hill (Live)

Have to love Hansi's accent.

When he talk or when he sings?

When he sings, his accent rears its ugly head once in a while.

In old albums mostly.

[I]The bards and their songssss
When houourrrs have gone by
IIII close my eyyyes[/I]

:p

*people will shoot me* I never really saw what was so good about The Bard's Song.
