Son of Pain by Rhapsody of fire is probably my favorite song period. Anyone want to comment?

Yes.

lol, I've slowly started to leave my Power Metal phase I was in. :(

But its ok 'cause I'm on Buckethead right now.

I guest this has his place here so.

I've been listening to Dream Theater - Train of Thought this last two days. First time I ever listen to them.
This album is excellent. I personaly find the final song, In the Name of God, unbelievable. I was listening to it and thought : It's very good, but it misses something I can't say to be excellent and the last song make him excellent IMO.

Any thoughts?

I have it in my collection.

Listening atm.

tbqh, I feel that [i]The Magic of the Wizard's Dream[/i] is a better 'slow' song by them.

Ofc everything by Rhapsody is great.

[I]The Magic of the Wizard's Dream[/I] has Christopher Lee on vocals. What more does a song need? Instant ownage.

Unfortunately, the album version does not so it's only Fabio Lione.

I prefer when he sings heroic material. The vibrato tenor sounds better when screaming about knights and dragons the like.

He sings backup on the version I've got, at least. I used to have the single version as well, but for some reason I deleted it.

Agreed. I am not a big fan of him singing the slower songs. Though Lamento Eroico is just mind blowing.

I actually have 6 different versions of that song. :eek:

I listened to Stratovarius-Destiny earlier and enjoyed it for the most part, but not alot really jumped out and grabbed me. I need to listen to it more though.

Stratovarius is a boring band, that's why.

Yeah man listen to it a couple of times. The song Destiny is really great and Anthem of the world too.

I am loving Avantasia's new album.

All of the parts with Jorn Lande = absolutely ridiculous.

Actually, anything with Jorn Lande = absolutely ridiculous.

I found out a couple of days ago that Avantasia is Tobbias Sammet, well for the most part I think, and I really like Edguy so Im gonna listen to Avantasia in the weeks to come.

Yeah and he gets a whole bunch of guest singers. And I don't know I liked the first two Avantasia cds a lot more.

Well, since the project's official name is Tobias Sammett's Avantasia, I'd think he has quite a bit to do with it... :lol:

I still love how much he gets owned by Jorn Lande on the title track for The Scarecrow. Granted, I love Sammett's voice, but it sounds unbelievably wimpy next to Lande.

i gotta check out more avantasia because people say there much better than Aina but all the stuff i've heard from them doesn't even compare to aina...so i guess i gotta listen to the right stuff...

Roy Khan being on the first track=win automatically.

I like Jorn Lande. He's probably my favorite singer named Jorn.

Give me some upbeat/epic power metal with ridiculous vocals and an abundance of shred. Think Blind Guardian.

Man Blind Guardian is just awesome. Hansi vocals are so great. I love them.

um...Lost Horizon, lol.

I can't stand Hansi's vocals

I have both of Lost Horizon's albums.

moaaaaaar, I can't get enough of this stuff. Maybe I should just get more Blind Guardian albums.[quote]I can't stand Hansi's vocals[/quote]He's seriously my favorite (clean) singer. Ever.

If you don't have these get Somewhere far Beyond. Very very good album. This and Imaginations from the other side.

:(

No one multi-tracks like Hansi.

Rhapsody of Fire
Sabaton
Celesty
Stormwarrior
Freedom Call
Luca Turilli

basically anything on my last page with the tag 'power metal'.

So tonight I should be ordering my tickets to see Sonata Arctica, I think it will be a good time.

It would be a better time if they still had straight-Alexi Laiho on guitar.
