To the American audience they are. There's a difference between what Americans and Europeans define Power Metal as.

And that's why America sucks.

And no Stratovarius? Stratovarius wins hands down, even more so
than Gamma Ray.


I love how you just talk more and more pish...
 
I refuse to vote in a poll that says that iron maiden and symphony x are power metal.

IMO, the best power metal is stratovarius. No special reason, other than their music appeals to me and that tolkki gave me a beer.
 
all time: Keepers-era Helloween and Gamma Ray; currently: Pagan's Mind. i wouldn't know, i don't listen to too much power metal these days.

also the old Angra is my 2nd favorite band but it's not quite power metal; to me, those albums sounded more like heavy/progressive than anything else.

symphony x is so close to being power metal michael romeo eats orcs for breakfast.... and lunch.... and dinner.... and midnight snacks... fuck it michael romeo just doesn't stop eating.
 
michael romeo is one of the coolest guys you can meet. he is awesome and he hangs out with the fans. i was at a festival and after sx was done he was in the crowd, it was so cool seeing him as a fan.

persuader is pretty damn good power metal too imo
 
Well, I'd have to say Rhapsody: of course, that is old Rhapsody. Since after PotDF they suck. Big time.

And anyways, my fave Power band will have to be Blind Guardian, although they're kind of speed-power. More power nowadays. (Can't wait for the new single! Fly! :p . Kinda gay the title, but not as gay as "The Magic of the Wizard's Dream").

Dragonforce is ok, I have the first album, but I didn't like the 2nd 1 so I didn't buy it.

Maiden has very power-like tunes, although they sound a lot like punk if you notice.

A really new good power metal band is Dragonland. Galloglass is gut also.

Blind Guardian is alright. but what kind of band would cover that gay 50's song Mr.Sandman
