??BG vs IE vs D&W??

[proulxski]

Hey

Ive been listening to alot of Iced Earth and Blind Guardian lately, I was wondering where you guys stand.. What do you prefer?

IMO...Blind Guardian has Hansi who is very talented...Their music is pretty cool ass well...Than we move on over to Iced Earth where we have darker music and very talented Guitarist. And of Course we have Demonz and Wizards which is the best of both worlds... I had to think about this for along time and I realized I couln't say which band was better...They both have some amazing stuff, and some less amazing! Than D&W is a clash of the titans so to speak... So Id have to vote for they are all equal!

Barlow era Iced Earth > Blind Gaurdian (but not by much) > Demons and Wizards > Ripper era Iced Earth

I don't like any of them very much... But i prefer Blind Guardian among them...

Iced Earth's guitarist may be talended but he seems to be uncreative, or doesn't prefer to create different riffs. I didn't like Barlow's vocal, unlike many... When i listen to "A Question Of Heaven" for instance, i take great pleasure, however -as being too much alike- i don't need to listen many other songs...

The atmosphere in Demons&Wizards is ok, but the same guitar problem

Blind Guardian is really a high-quality band, and has very good songs. (as well as some bad ones) Don't get me wrong, but i don't like Hansi Kursch's vocal either. But i should accept that he has a very different voice and vocal technique.

 

[proulxski]

yeh he is a unique man

 

[Rose Immortal]

Xymphony--Thanks for putting your BG criticisms civilly. People could really learn from that example when it comes to some other bands!

 

[Xymphony]

Thank you

Iced Earth anyday.

 

[Yngvai X]

Blind Guardian all the way. Hansi is my favorite singer.

 

[Kenneth R.]

BG > IE > DW, for certain

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

BG > DW > IE. Hansi's the man, and DW's stuff is friggin' intense.

 

[The Metal Chick]

Yep, BG is my choice as well. Hansi is awesome. He's an acquired taste, but I love it.

 

[Horus]

Oh my god. The decision is so hard!! Hansi is God, but Iced Earth when they had Barlow was so amazing!!

I chose Tie. I just can't decide. They're both too big of Power Metal Titans to possibly comprehend such a decision!

 

[proulxski]

agreed on that part...and yes nice job man on be civil about BG...I honor you!

 

[Thraxz]

Of power metal, Hansi is my vocal totem whom I worship on a daily basis five times a day.

(Prog vocalist totem is obvious, eh?)

 

[Horus]

And of Prog Metal, would your totem of daily worship have been Rullo's drum kit that he had on ebay if you'd won it? I remember that discussion. That was fun. :Spin:

Haha, that was funny!

I'd have to say Blind Guardian, although, they are the only ones I listen to out of the list. Not huge into power metal, though.

 

[proulxski]

I'd say that Iced is pretty popular. D&W, I'll give you that

 

[proulxski]

oh they're popular...Just seems I've meet more people who know of blind guardian than Iced Earth! Any real fan of either knows of both and D&W though (doesn't mean they gotta like the other lol)
