[QUOTE=Bartender]I actually don't think bands like Iced Earth and CoB are very good bands to start on power metal with. I mean yeah, they're power metal, but there's also other metal in there.

Power Metal. :mad:

I was saying the same thing. Bands like Iced Earth, CoB, Nevermore, Angel Dust, Sentenced, and such shouldn't really be within that genre. I think there are enough bands like them to start their own separate genre, and this kind of metal is growing.

Ok, one last power metal/trash metal related question. What is a good scale (guitar) to write trash/power riffs in?

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Hocus Pocus is a cool as song.[/QUOTE]

That's like their only well known song.

And only song of theirs I know of/care to listen to ;)

I say start out with Rhapsody and Sonata Arctica.

I'm not a huge power metal fan, but I can stand/like those two bands :p

Holy Pit People In The R&M Thread, Batman. :p

Well, I should be off to bed. 'Night studz.

I don't go in the Pit very often anymore. :-/ It's gotten out of hand in the last week or two. No fun anymore.

On a side note, A Perfect Circle are a really good band, as long as no-one mentions eMotive.[/QUOTE]

Or their remixes :/

[QUOTE=Medopalis]On a side note, A Perfect Circle are a really good band, as long as no-one mentions eMotive.[/QUOTE]

I agree. I have 13th Step, and that album is very good.


eMotive is going to be known as Maynard's downfall. :(


You just watch. He's going to change Tool into a heavier political band, and they will be yet another one of those "at least they used to be good" bands.



I better be wrong. :( I liked Lateralus.

Persuader is the ultimate power metal band.

Blind Gaurdian, Iced Earth, and DragonForce are good too. I've been binging on power metal lately.

Me too, theyre new album better be good/released.
Im waiting too see if the new Foo Fighters album is good. People on this forum seem to jump on the Paranoidd hates them so i should too. Im not saying i dont like Paranoidd, hes a great guy, and very close to the top on my top 40 list, but noobs catch on that hes respected, and agree with him just to be cool. It sucks.

Yep I know what you mean. They just follow and say they hate stuff like nu-metal, nirvana etc.

If you like power metal, download the following now:

Sonata Arctica - Wolf and Raven
Warmen - Trip To... (good luck finding this one. I have it on a Century Media bonus cd, so if you really, really want it, I'll send it on AIM. It's Warmen, the keyboardist from CoB's side project/band. The keyboard solos on that song are amazing)

Yup, i really like Foo Fighters (to a lesser extent One By One), and i get so flamed, even by noobs!

I like them too. I also like Nirvana, POD and alot of other bands I get flamed for

Just because my music taste is more varied :(

[QUOTE=88_Fingers_Joe]Yup, i really like Foo Fighters (to a lesser extent One By One), and i get so flamed, even by noobs![/QUOTE]
Hey I like them, I don't see why its so cool to hate them.

Edit: same for nirvana

Yeh, its definalty gay. I used to like POD, got me into metal. And i say i like avenged sevenfold and bam, its like ThEy SUkCs DudE!
/hates noobs sometimes.

Maybe we should make a new trend and go around saying Pink Floyd sucks or something and see if everyone follows

[QUOTE=Medopalis]Hopefully I'm getting one or both of Lateralus/Aenima for Christmas...and The Foo Fighters were very good when I saw them supporting the Chili Peppers (or rather Grohl was).[/QUOTE]

I saw them do that at Glasgow Green two years ago, my first gig.
/loving memories.

The chillis were great too. And Electric 6 stole the support acts show, totally killing The Distillers and QOTSA.

[QUOTE=shortass]Maybe we should make a new trend and go around saying Pink Floyd sucks or something and see if everyone follows[/QUOTE]

That would work extremely well, considering most people do not like Pink Floyd. There are lots of bandwagon jumpers around. It took me a while to understand the talent and amazingness in them.
From this, it's crap that tons of random newbs actually like them. :amaze:

It took me a while too, aswell for the Beatles and they are my favorite band of all time.

[QUOTE=Gilmour]:mad:[/QUOTE]

I honeestly don't hear much difference between Creed and Alter Bridge.
I like A7X, G'n'R is ok its just grates on my nerves after awhile, VR is ok aswell. Electric 6 I can't say because I have only heard their gay bar song.

:/

I love Vai, but everyone in here is all about counter culture. Fast = BAD! I was watching the film with my mates called 'Ghosts of Mars,' and in the special features it had him, buckethead and Anthrax doing the soundtrack. It was honestly the ****, even if the film was balls. (Apart from ice cube.)

On the creed/alter bridge thing, i just think tremonti really is enjoying himself more. He writes better material (IMO), the singing is better, and its all fun.

Pink Floyd
Foo fighters
Nirvana
Metallica St.Anger - I don't like it it's just not as bad as it's made out to be
The Beatles
Velvet Revolver

Pink Floyd is too good for you ****xers to use.

Chat is up.

What the Beatles and Pink Floyd?!?!?

How many people hate them?

nevermind......but alot of people like them to:)

I blame the decline of attention spans amoung young people for Pink Floyd not being considered the greatest band ever.

I need to check them out. Alot. I swear, Paranoidd's been in the pit way to much, his posts are turning into hardcore spam! Look at the one in the Bon Jovi thread, it makes no sensE!

The pit sure changes people.

Indeed.
