Yeah, I still trip the fuck out every time they show that shit.
 
metallica-unforgiven
poison-every rose has its thorn
slaughter-fly to the angels
kiss-beth
alice cooper-love's a loaded gun
van morrison-desperado
metallica-one(that counts right?)
 
Nevermore - The Sorrowed Man
Iced Earth - Ghost of Freedom
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
Testament - Return to Serenity

btw: Iced Earth - Watching Over me sounds exactly like Children of the Night, which sounds exactly like Melancholy, which sounds exactly like I died for you. GG Schaffer. Ghost of Freedom is the only one that sounded good IMO.

Consequences is not bad, but that's not a ballad right?
 
I think Johny Cash does THE version of hurt. Man, that is some harrowing, haunting shit right there.

Motorheads don't let daddy kiss me?
50% of My Dying Brides modern output.

Johnny Cash "When the Man Comes Around" (which has the Hurt song on it) is an incredible album (yah, huge Cash fan here). You listen to that CD, and you just KNOW he is dying. No bullshit there.

W.A.S.P. sleeping in the fire (bet that surprised you all:)) Great to see W.A.S.P. getting a few mentions.

Accept's Winter Dreams is pretty good too and Megadeth's Mary Jane.
Warlock Fur Immer
 
Whitesnake-I just died in your arms tonight (very cheesy but still a ballad)
Led Zep- Stairway to Heaven
Aerosmith-I dont want to miss a Thing
Angra-Bleeding Heart
Dream Theater- Hollow years
Ozzy- Goodbye to romance
Opeth-Hope Leaves
Ozzy-Dreamer
Ozzy- Mama im coming home
Pantera- Cemetary Gates
Symphony X-Shades of Grey
Van Halen- Too many to even list
 
I'd Say :
Testament : The Legacy
Guns'n'Roses : Don't Cry
Metallica : Fade to Black
Beseech - Sunset 28
Ark - Missing You (absolutely beautiful this one)

By the way, hi everybody :wave:

Am I the only Iced Earth fan that thinks all of there ballads are the same? Don't get me wrong, there are some similarites, but there not exactly the same. And by the way, Consequences is a ballad.
