Best Heavy Metal Ballad

[Don Corleone]

dont be ashamed, kevin moore fanboyism is the way forward! for me, he is the best thing that ever happened to dream theater, since his influence on the band's music and songwriting is spectacular...this statement excludes "scenes from a memory" as that album stands as a masterpiece on its own. i always wondered how they managed to pull it off without moore. you know, it's all downhill after that.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

And I bet he wrote "Eve" too, which is IMHO one of the best instrumentals I've ever head in my life.

 

[Sad Madrigal]

^I was thinking about ''I Died for You'' too. Pretty good.

How about "A Question of Heaven"?

 

[i aint play this]

^Might be even better that I Died for You, the chorus is great with those angelic chants.

 

[soundave]

Yeah. Good track. Nice video here:

not metuuuulll dude haha

otherwise i would say Walking after you, of the best cd ever made...

the colour and the shape.

 

[Antyman]

yeah, I always shit my pants during the quiet part.
TCATS is indeed the best album ever. I'm the biggest Foo Fighters nerd you'll ever meet

the best ballad by dream theater is "space dye vest." it has kevin moore written all over it.

Yes!!! Not only their best ballad, but quite possibly their best song. It's an absolute shame that they won't play it anymore (and that they didn't include it on their greatest hit album).

 

[Cognitive Intercourse]

I've never been a huge Ozzy fan but for some reason, I've always liked the song "So Tired" off of Bark at the Moon. Very nice ballad.

Antyman....you mentioned "Dear God" by Avenged Sevenfold. Is that a cover of the song "Dear God" by XTC? Just curious.

 

[Antyman]

^ hehe no it's not, would be awesome if it was though. This one is more country and less 80's

Metallica - Fade to Black
First song I learned to play on the guitar.
Tried to play it again a few months ago & failed miserably
One of the best songs by Metallica

Yeah, "Fade to Black" is a moving song.

Pantera - "Hollow"
Always moved me. It is probably about losing a best friend.

Mama, I'm Comin' Home was the first song I ever learned the words to as a child. Great ballad imo.

 

[Disgustipated]

Hammerfall's Always Will Be has always been a favourite of mine.

 

[Risquit]

Mama, I'm Comin' Home was the first song I ever learned the words to as a child. Great ballad imo.

That is a good one. A lot better than "Goodbye to Romance".
