[QUOTE=Superpeer]I don't like a lot of Power Metal.

Just Rhapsody and CoB, maybe Hammerfall. Most of it annoys me.[/QUOTE]


I like it just as long as I'm in the right mood. If I'm in the wrong mood, yes, it annoys me a bit.

[size=1] I'm only talking about the dragon slaying medieval bands aka Blind Guardian, Edguy, etc. Bands like Iced Earth, Nevermore, and Children of Bodom are completely different, for obvious reasons[/size]

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Hmmm... before we all start putting on the chain-mail, CHANGE OF TOPIC.

So, I was eating some pizza last night... ;)[/QUOTE]

I got a 4 meat pizza in the freezer...don't make be bust it out.

I just had a snack, almost time for bed now.

Oh yeah?

Can that compare to a REAL pizza, not a fast food one, with tons of pepperoni, cheese, tomato, oregano, pineapple, ham, bacon and capsicum?

I'm eating an orange :(

So this Greenbay vs. Jacksonville game is close. :amaze:

/listens to the somewhat operatic vocals of Focus

NP: Focus - Sylvia

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. CoB especially, since they're in a tiny, tiny minority of power metal bands that use harsh vocals.

Hocus Pocus is a cool as song.

Power Metal. :mad:

I get my pizza from a little shop called Pinochio's, owned and operated by a small Italian man named Gino.

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
