Yeah, they are. Go and see them :p

IE just havn't toured since, heh.

Meh, 500km away.

[QUOTE=Greece's Rockwave Festival]$hitallica, Heaven And Hell, Dream Theater, Iced Earth, Anathema, Kinetic[/QUOTE]

Oh, I see. Would you go if they were closer ?

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;14487094]Bumpage for the fact that the new Kamelot single is extremely good. Sounds like their older stuff (Karma era, maybe) with the production and orchestrations of The Black Halo.

Can you uploady for me?

[QUOTE=Stormrider331;14488706]Oh, I see. Would you go if they were closer ?[/QUOTE]

Sure. I'm thinking of getting Alive in Athens DVD too. In fact even if Im not fan of the band I like DVDs, I should get some.

Oh, nice. Don't expect the best out of the DVD as far as camera's and overall budget goes though. Unless you knew already...

With that said, I love the DVD. Too bad they didn't let Schaffer edit it a bit further though.

[QUOTE=pate;14488811]Can you uploady for me?[/QUOTE]

I sent it into the DU. Should be coming around sooner or later.

You own.

I'm well aware. :cool:

Double post, but I have another act of godliness:

Unia by Sonata Arctica is on there. :cool:

I haven't heard great things about the new Sonata Arctica. Heard it's slower, and if I'm listening to Sonata, it better be **** fast.

Well, coming from someone who thinks Reckoning Night is their best album, this one furthers the sound they were trying to get on that album.

I like that they're writing music like this now. They wrote some unbelievable fast songs; to write anymore would make them sound bad.

I didn't like Reckoning Night very much :(

Nothing really grabbed me on the album.

Eh. Maybe you just fail at life then.

Likely.

I like there fasrer stuff than there slow stuff but they do write good slow stuff, and Toni's got the voice for it.

Yeah, Sonata are one of the power metal bands who can write a ballad. Some bands *cough* Rhapsody *cough* shouldn't be allowed to try.

well that one with christopher lee was pretty bad *** if not just for the fact that Christopher Lee is in it.

actually now that I look back there not [B]that[/B] bad at ballads.

Christopher Lee is so cool that numbers cannot quantify it.

The problem is that Fabio oversings on everything and it doesn't lend well to slow songs (IMO of course).

i guess, hmmm listening to new Sonata album and most is mid tempo, The Harvest is pretty cool and a little faster, but im ****in pissed because im not hearing and key solos.


edit: nvm there they are :) hmmm not too bad the mid tempo thing gets annoying but they got some decently fast song, pretty normal sonata.

Yeah, that was the one thing I noticed skimming through. There's NO fast numbers. At least Reckoning Night had a few.

Rhapsody's ballads suck, save for Magic Of The Wizard's Dream. Again, because Christopher Lee sings on it.

Funny little note...I have 6 different versions of that track. :lol:

i have the one without christopher lee singing, can you send one with him singing?

Actually, I think it was a video I had of them. I'll see what I can do, but my computer hates uploading videos.

New Sonata Arctica is...interesting. I'm not sure if I like it or not...:confused:

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;14492778]Eh. Maybe you just fail at life then.[/QUOTE]

No, that's the only SA album I ever got, and I didn't like it either.

So yay me and Deth !

I don't like Sonata Arctica much either. :-\

I don't either...

The live album is the best.

well Blind Guardian's 'tales from the twilight world' came yesterday and i have to say it ****ing rocks, i think my favourite part of the whole album could be the drums they sound so awesome

Last BG album I bought. Good stuff. One of my favorite parts of the whole album is Last Candle's chorus.

[I]there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high [/I]

[I]now I feel it's growing up in me
now I feel it's burning deep in me [/I]

\m/

I still love Lord Of The Rings the best. Maybe because I saw it live, but I dunno.

It has an amazing feeling on the album at least.
Hey, this is not the BG thread!
/random

It's close enough. :smash:

So, as pate had posted earlier, who's extremely excited for Edguy's US tour?

Lord of the Rings is a really great song. Rivals Bard Song IMO.

LotR is one of my handful of favorite BG songs.

Yay Edguy tour.

Considering how Blind Guardian claim to be big fans of tolkien and LotR it was pretty shoddy of them to **** up the lyrics, on the part where it says "seven rings to the gnoms in their halls made of stone", it should be dwarfs...unless gnoms is German for dwarf.


when i saw Edguy support Dragonforce they promised us another UK tour, i want my tour damnit >.<

Every band ever is going to promise to return quickly. It's called PR.

And Dream Evil aren't coming here, just like everyone else.

Didn't Dream Evil play 1 show in the US?

Eh, they're worthless without Snowy anyways.

i got United but it is kind of pants, there are a couple good songs but overall the 'meh' value is pretty dominant

I [I]think[/I] gnoms is the same with dwarves in european tradition.
