$16 = roughly £8

I'd love to go over to America armed with around £100/roughly $185 to just spend on cd's.

11 to 18 euros here. Second hand rule though like yesterday when I bought a Symphony X album for 5 euros :cool:

That's why amazon is so important over here

Blind guardian albums

HMV import- £20
amazon used and new- £6

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Demons and Wizards is a side-project of Jon Schaffer and Hansi Kursch. It's neither Iced Earth, nor Blind Guardian.

Great music though.[/QUOTE]
i knew it wasnt right

I will proceed to link you to all the iced earth songs you should listen to to start with

I'd reccomend the Pure Evil live. Soooo sweet. I love that song.

Are there any fans of Hammerfall here? Nobody seems to talk about them much, but they're the band that got me into powermetal.

Hammerfall is hit or miss with me, although I only have one of their albums. They can be quite catchy.

I can understand where Strombland's (sp?) influences come from when it comes to his guitar work, especially his solos. He's actually a decent drummer.

As for Power metal I definately need more essential albums.
To this date I have Nevermore's Enemies of Reality, Blind Guardian's A Night At The Opera, COB-FTR, and Hammerfall-To The Brave. I need more...

I'll get another BG album for sure.

Does anyone in here know the band Stille Volk? They're very folky, very good aswell from what I've heard.

Well, just finished listening to some Sabaton and Jag Panzer. I think I prefer the former.

Sabaton has a strong Iced Earth/Manowar sort of feel. Stuff you can really headbang to.

Jag Panzer is talented, but I think their guitarist needs to ease up a little. I lose interest in the solos after a while because it's just one big sixteenth note melody most of the time.

So I guess you liked them :) Sure the have the Iced Earth/Manowar but they're quite special as far as their riffage is concerned. They have this neoclassical touch, if you know what I mean.

that may be the best intro riff to a song ever, so so cool

Np-blind guardian- the maiden and the minstrel night

^The BG song that plays in my head for months now is Mordred's Song

No, this is the first time I've heard of them.

I recognize the name. Never heard them though.

/follows Stoic into MA

I'll upload the song I have by them for you all.

That'd be great, cause they seem to be a fairly unknown band.

Enjoy :)

Indeed. Thanks for the upload, feedback later ;)

Edguy were great- cheers Alex- The vocalist sounds very Bruce-like to me

:cool: See everybody? I'm always right. \m/[/QUOTE]

Mhm. I'm now a fan of Savatage, Wuthering Heights and Edguy. :thumb: Thanks much.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Edguy were great- cheers Alex- The vocalist sounds very Bruce-like to me[/QUOTE]

Bruce is Toby's main influence. I think it's great that Edguy aren't afraid to wear their influences on their sleeves.

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]Mhm. I'm now a fan of Savatage, Wuthering Heights and Edguy. :thumb: Thanks much.[/QUOTE]

My dogged determination is paying off.

If anyone's interested, I'm thinking of uploading Lavatory Love Machine by Edguy. They're possibly the only power metal band that could write a song about the Mile High Club and make it sound good. :cool:

I remember I brought LH up a while ago and frail said he was a fan...

This week's spotlight, actually. Thoroughly awesome. I turned Jason into a fan with the uploads.

Give it about 10-15 minutes.

Sadly, that's becoming my catch phrase these days.

Apologies for the double-post.

Awesome. It's now currently downloading at 4.35 KB/sec. O how I love my dial-up :)

so, it was pretty fun to listen but still way too folkish (=no metal elements in there).

Steerpike is also wholly responsible for my recent and on-going (and expensive) love affair with Running Wild (have you any idea how [I]many[/I] albums that band has made?)
