I'm here to say sorry if I seemed to defensive I just didn't want to answer most of the questions cause if I did there was someone to talk crap to back it up, and that had already happened to me alot before, I guess cause i'm a newbie and I didn't want to get banned. So sorry, and thanks for letting me know steerpike that the ban could be lifted, still isn't but atleast I know. Well hopefully it will It's been about two days.

I'm just going to keep using this screen name anyways, I like it better. This is a7x123.

It's water under the bridge now, but you have to remember not to be so defensive. You have to be ready to admit you're wrong when proven so and realize that there are going to be arguments here.

Few people will debate that Avenged Sevenfold's new album made a distinct shift toward power metal, but you really need to pay attention to the others here to fully understand the genre. Trust me, it really pays to listen around here and not act defensive when someone contradicts a statement you made.

Okay cool. :thumb: Now what is the folk metal mix stuff you have been talking about. Not sure of it never heard of a mix like that.

This dowload should still be good. Give it a listen and tell us what you think. It's a mixture of power metal, some prog, and Celtic folk music.

Steerpike, howcome you avatar is bigger than everyone else's. I want to put a custom one in but if I make it too small it looks like crap.

Technically it isn't. I cropped the edges off in Photoshop to make it fit the absolute maximum size permitted.

have to wait for the download

Yeah, YSI has been kind of slow lately. Take your time.

You could also win the drum off in the Drum section of the site. The winner gets a big avatar.

Are ironware,heavenly , avantasia power metal bands?

I play the Lead guitar and the Drums but I hate to write it down, like to tab it out. I preffer to just memorize it then. It takes too long.

[QUOTE=Dark Knight]Are ironware,heavenly , avantasia power metal bands?[/QUOTE]

Don't believe I'm familiar with Ironware, but Heavenly and Avantasia are power metal, yes.

Avantasia is the side project of Edguy's lead singer, so also check them out.

can someone upload some edguy please?

I would like to hear them...

I'll rip and burn some tracks off of Hellfire Club, their best album yet.

I'll start with Down to the Devil and King of Fools. I'll probably also put pu Lavatory Love Machine, The Navigator, and The Piper Never Dies if you guys like the frist two songs.

Avantasia 's my 0ne of favourite....by the way, what category do they belong to? i mean are they symphonic band? I have checkout their webpage, seems not much information i can get from it....

Yes, they are symphonic. Edguy's earliest music had a similar approach.

I personally prefer their new stripped-down approach, but still appreciate their symphonic metal days.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Of the stuff I've heard, I really think Far Beyond the Madding Crowd is their best album to date. Try to track down the Longing for the Woods trilogy off that album. Pure quality.

Their earlier albums are more proggy, but FBTMC is where the power/folk elements really stand out.[/QUOTE]

Alright, I'll look for these songs and...

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]looking forward to them surely being in the spotlight next month...[/QUOTE]

Here's two songs for you guys. The first I consider one of my personal theme songs. The second was the first radio single off of Hellfire Club.

If you like what you hear, let me know and I'll put up some more uploads.

I like the music but i'm not to fond of the singer. He can sing hit the notes but he sounds weird to me. The music is good though, there are some awesome solos in it.

Could be his Danish accent. I actually really like singers with accents. Gives the vocals that extra dash of color. Timo Kotipelto and Rolf Kasparek especially. And I definately enjoy Nils Johansson's singing. Reminds me of Dio.

I'll D/L it later, my wireless connection is at the stage where it waits until I try and download something and then goes hahahaha fuc[SIZE=2]k[/SIZE] off...

Mine doesn't even wait until I try to download something. It just goes out whenever it feels like it. So yeah, I feel your pain.

Although they sound quite similar I prefer Avantasia to Edguy but in general this is not the kind of power I like. As far as vocalists are concerned I want them to have grind in their voice like Hansi Kursch or Russell Allen. Joakim Broden from Sabaton is pretty special too and has accent. In an interview he said he always liked singers with accent. Steerpike have you checked Sabaton yet?

Have you heard Hellfire Club yet? Tobias can really put a nice snarl in his voice when he chooses to.

As for Sabaton, I have some downloads of them right now that I was going to listen to after dinner along with Jag Panzer.

yeah sure I have quite a few times on the radio and saw an edguy video clip on TV (it was this song if I'm not mistaken). I know what you mean but I want to get this more often, not just when the vocalist chooses to :p

Alright but dont forget to listen to them otherwise you might miss something really good.

Ah. Well, if you want, I can at least upload an mp3 of The Navigator for you. It's got the sort of vocals you like and a d[/size=2]a[/size]mn great chorus you just want to sing along with.

It's not like I'm doing anything else today.

sure, I'd love to listen to this song :)

/are you on the whole day because you quit your job? :p

Yes. Today, I don't have to lift a d[size=2]a[/size]mn finger, and I intend to enjoy that for at least this weekend.

Anyway, I'll have it up in about 10 or 15 minutes.
