Are Manowar power metal?

[Teh Grimace]

I couldn't stop laughing at them when they played with
Immortal a few years back here in Indy.

i don't know if playing with Manowar lowers Immortal's respect level in my mind, or if it just makes me hate Manowar more for the fact that they exist at all to play/fuck up an Immortal show.

hmm... a quandry...

 

[Hammer of Might]

I think it's pretty great. Immortal and Manowar would be an awesome show.

Fuck Off Nowadays Manowar Haters

 

[Nico]

Of course I don't you cretin.

Haha, I lolled at this. English people are great... I need to get one.

Yes it would have.

Manowar - heavy metal : HAIL AND KILL forever

 

[Erik]

some of their dumber songs like BLACK WIND FIRE AND STEEL smell a bit of nowadays power metal

 

[KMADD]

Im a cretin cause I don't appreciate muscle bound mulletheads with
leather vests. Sorry it's just not my thing.

 

[skeptik]

It has nothing to do with image. Listen to the music.

 

[KMADD]

Ive tried. I just cant get into them. I saw them live man it's really not my thing
im sure there is some death and black metal that doesn't tickle your fancy.
I know it's strange I love stuff like Maiden and Saxon but I could not really
get into this band. Me and Jonny from UMOS has had an arguement about this before.

It has nothing to do with image. Listen to the music.

agreed... Manowar would be just as fucking lame if they wore jeans and flannels.

 

[skeptik]

Almost as lame as Mogwai

 

[Teh Grimace]

the book of knots =

so every1 should listen to those bands yeyah.

I was in a pub a while back and someone in our group casually mentioned Manowar as a power metal band. This infuriated my Manowar loving friend, who proceeded to jump to his feet and shout "Manowar are not power metal!" while doing the old hammer-fist sign thing.

SO...

Are Manowar power metal to you?

I would say no myself. They predate the genre for a start, and they essentially play powerful heavy metal. If there are similarities, it is surely because later "power" metal bands picked up on these elements of the sound.

Manowar are a heavy metal band.

Why don't you just go ahead and take a bath in a tub of Velveeta?

You really stepping into simpleton territory if you're truly implying the name of that song means anything here. I'm honestly kind of shocked. Didnt expect that kind of simple minded thinking form you.

 

[CiG]

You implied that, I never said a single thing about the song title. I'm mocking you for even bringing it up as if it mattered, I obviously posted that song as a musical example, title means nothing.
