Best Metal Love Songs

[plfffffft]

Anthrax - Nice Fuckin' Ballad

 

[Erik]

Really Tiamat's "Do You Dream of Me?" but I feel like a total wuss for saying it. Heh heh.

 

[SuicideMachine]

all I can think of is Pantera's "This Love"...which if you read the lyrics isnt even that lovely lol

 

[St. Vitus]

Whats better then hearing Mikael screaming "I swear I will always love you"?

Not hearing Mikael scream "I swear I will always love you"...?

Anyway, here are some of my favorites:
Judas Priest - A Touch of Evil, Desert Plains
Black Sabbath - NIB
Praying Mantis - Lovers to the Grave
Scorpions - Animal Magnetism
Queensryche - Walk in the Shadows, I Don't Believe in Love, Jet City Woman, One and Only
Type O Negative - Blood and Fire
Motorhead - Love Me Forever
Tiamat - Lady Temptress

I know I'm forgetting a bunch...but I don't listen to metal for the love songs!

 

[trailOFtragedy]

Poison the Well - "NERDY"

Posion the Well - "Ghostchant"

As I Lay Dying - "Forever"

Coal Chamber - "Entwined"

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I wouldn't count PTW, cause they're more emo/hardcore, and that style is notorious for being mostly about love and nothing else. The song titles are so cliche it's hilarious. Fuckin' A music though.

btw, I can't believe I forgot N.I.B.!

 

[Lanterns]

Children Of Bodom - Bed Of Razors

 

[Anthony]

Cannibal Corpse - fucked with the knife

 

[Thrash Metal Tormentor]

Megadeth - "Loved To Deth"
Anthrax - "Dallabnikufesin"

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Kill Your Mother And Rape Your Dog

 

[DiscipleOfPlato]

Opeth-Nectar

Easily the winner.

I wholeheartedly agree. Those lyrics are fucking beautiful, although "To Bid You Farewell" is a close-second.

As for great metal love songs, there are many...
Queensryche-"I Don't Believe in Love," "Eyes of a Stranger," and of course,
"Another Rainy Night (Without You)":

"Remember making love in the rain?
Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound
Raindrops taste like tears without the pain.
I'm not much without you, can't leave
if I wanted to. maybe that's why you stay around.

But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire
and pace the floor one hundred times in an hour.
And check the voice-mail for a message you've called."

Also:
Anathema-"One Last Goodbye"
Dream Theater-"Learning to Live"
Steve Vai-"I'll Be Around"
Iron Maiden-"The Evil that Men Do"(A peculiar choice, I know, I'm not even so sure it can be considered a love song, but oh well)
Iced Earth-"I Died For You"
Savatage-"Not What You See"

And of course, my personal favorite...
Savatage-"Strange Wings"(A classic)

 

[Yogota]

Mhh...
Isn't Slayers "Angel of Death" describing some sick sort of Love..?

 

[VEHEMENCE]

Alone by Amorphis or Veil of Sin.

 

[Dr. K]

Queensryche - I will remember
Queensryche - Anybody listening?
Queensryche - Silent Lucidity

I like Queensryche ;-))
