Way to flush your credibility down the toilet.
LuminousAether said:
1. Power metal is not exclusively played by old men having mid-life crises.
2. There's nothing wrong with being a nerd. If there was, then LOTR, Star Wars, and D&D wouldn't be the billion dollar industries they are.
3. Not remotely interesting? For example, I don't find the phony misanthropy and chest thumping machismo of war metal to be very interesting, though I respect the genre and do enjoy Destroyer 666 quite a bit.
4. Use your spell check.
5. You're the only one in this thread who hasn't given a rational reason for disliking power metal, instead resorting to using words like "gay" and "annoying".

Since when does liking LOTR and Star Wars make you a nerd? I play videos games all day everyday but when i'm in public or in school people think completely opposite.
Power Metal is OK when done right, if this qualifies as power metal (or maybe just heavy metal idk) then I don't care how gay you think it is...

While I dismiss pretty much all flourish euro power metal, I find Wuthering Heights excellent.
Another one: I kinda like Electric Wizard, but still I think they're one of the most overrated bands ever. Also, calling them 'the heaviest band ever' it's pretty retarded.

Hello there
He never had any credibility. The guy is a fucking retard, just ignore him.

Overrated agreed, but saying they're not one of the heaviest bands around is actually the only thing retarded here .... so, yea.
edit: and no one said they're "the heaviest band ever".

You sound awfully upset that someone is vocal about an opinion that disagrees with yours. What kind of doucherocket talks about credibility in a conversation about opinions? What laughable tripe that is.

Thanks for the laugh. It came deep from within my gut, a true belly laugh.

You listen to Shining and yet you think power metal is made by and for nerdy middle aged men.

I don't get what that means. Shining and power metal are like, exact opposites of the spectrum.

Shining are pretty young dudes actually. Pretty youthful fanbase. Mort, you don't enjoy making sense, do you?

Power metal is also always about dragons and the glory of overcoming, and Shining is about how awesome it is to bleed out in a bathtub. Not seeing the point of Mort's post, there.

I burst out laughing in the last track of the new Shining when he sings "my devotion to evil will always come before you."
So corny.
So corny.

The best and noteable part of power metal is infact their lyrical content. Anyone who thinks Dragons, Elfs, Hobbits, Knights etc. are gay, need to shove their head in a lawnmower.

The point was that if you're going to criticize a band for singing about nerdy shit, but endorse a band that is about as emotionally developed as a 15 year old mallgoth you're being fucking ridiculous.
