Do you hate Manowar?

i dont hate them, but I dont like them, and I think their music is hilarious- but a love of Manowar is a surefire way if heterosexual to stay a virgin- on the other hand if one swings the other way...
 
I dig Manowar and consider myself a fan of them. They bring humor and entertainment to their music. They are the Kings of Metal!

"May your sword stay wet like a girl in her prime"
 
I dont hate them, but Im deffinatly not a fan either...
I think they have some great stuff, and alot of really cheese stuff...and I have sacrificed a copy of their "Into Glory Ride" album with a 4 kg flail :p
 
I'm no fan of Manowar, but at Metal Meltdown a few years back a few friends and I tried to watch them, since all the bands we actually wanted to see were done. We wanted a good laugh. Anyway, we found some seats, among a bunch of their drunken, obnoxious fans. And we sat there, and sat there, and sat there, and sat there, ect.... They had people on the stage doing tiny adjustments to lights, and polishing their guitars, and setting up crap. Finally, we had enough waiting (seemed like days) and tried leaving. When we did we were greeted with security guards telling us that we "must find a seat". We told them we were leaving. They told us again, to "find a seat and sit down". I spent about 5 minutes explaining again and again that we didn't care about Manowar and just wanted to go home. They wouldn't let us. So, we ran for the exits. When we got there we had more people telling us we had to find a seat, because Manowar was coming on. We had to explain again that were didn't care and wanted to leave. Then they were all like "Well you can't come back in. This is your final chance." We just fucking bolted. Then when outside there were seemingly hundreds of other people who were also exhausted from the ordeal of exiting the building. We all had a good laugh at how pathetic Manowar and their egos are (they tried having an autograph session earlier but it was canned by the promoter as they wanted to charge people money for them to sign things).

On the way to my car we spotted their tourbus (more like a fucking moving village) surrounded by cops and security with cones, blockades, and flashing lights keep to keep their hordes of fans away, though I saw nobody not in a uniform anywhere near the bus. I think they even had a carpet leading from the bus door to the entrance to the building. Oh well.

I saw Manowar once or twice and both times they sounded really good and didn't do a lot of screwing around or anything. I was actually more impressed than I thought I'd be.
 
I think they're fucking hilarious and have good "fist pumping in the air" music. I saw them a few years back just for the hell of it and they're not kidding when it comes to that whole "loudest amps" thing.
 
yes they are cheesy from time to time, but their faster stuff is alright, their slow stuff I don't want to hear and Yes, they definitely have to drop the whole wannabe CONNAN look, definitely with you on that one BLACKMETALEMP. But they do have good songs from time to time and I like the whole kicking posers ass themes!!!!!!!!
 
I don't hate them at all but I have to be in the right mood to listen to them. I've met all of them and they were cool. I have stuff signed by them at no cost. They do have big ego's but it goes with what they are preaching. I've seen them twice live and they're the only band I've had to wear earplugs to see because they are so fucking LOUD.

I don't dislike them or like them. I'm Indifferent. They are "good" at best. They do have a very crappy image. Anyone that says otherwise has got to be lying....
Worst "gimmick" in rock n' roll, makes KISS look like a serious
band....:p
