Fav Metal Ballads

[Sodamn Insane]

They bring a tear to the eye... Those sweat melodic emotion jerkers, what are your fav's?

I'd have to say:

Avantasia - Farewell

Deep Purple - Soldier Of Fortune

Edguy - When A Hero Crys

Angra - Bleeding Heart

HammerFall - Glory To The Brave

Kamelot - Don't You Cry

Now post yours beeyotchez!

 

[Spiff]

Soldier of Fortune!

Savatage - "If I Go Away"
Savatage - "Believe"

They're the ones that immediately come to mind.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I'd hardly call Soldier of Fortune a metal ballard. Great song, but metal ballard?? I don't think so

 

[Spruce Goose]

A Question of Heaven

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I still don't understand what is so great about A Question of Heaven. I am a huge Iced Earth fan, but that song does very little for me.

Grim Reaper - The Show Must Go On comes to mind, because I listened to it this morning.

Dio - As Long As It's Not About Love

Not really a ballad, but Judas Priest - Out In The Cold.

Another not really a ballad one is Blaze - Regret, awesome song from the new album.

 

[Sodamn Insane]

Oh shit, oh could I forget?

Rainbow - Temple Of The King!

 

[spawn]

I Remember You - Skid Row
In A Darkened Room - Skid Row
Wasted Time - Skid Row

 

[spawn]

Before The Dawn - Judas Priest

One of the most under rated songs ever.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Again, I wouldnt class Temple of the King as a METAL ballard. Fuckin awesome song though

 

[Spiff]

We're talking ballads here, Sprucey, not ballards. Not to say that ballards don't rule!

 

[Spruce Goose]

Ahh yes. Well spotted.

What is a ballard?

 

[Spiff]

I don't know actually. I thought you would know...

 

[Spruce Goose]

Ballard, according to the online dictionary.com is a town in California with the post code of 93463.

 

[Spiff]

I did check there but couldn't be bothered posting that. Also a town in Utah and West Virginia, if my high school geography serves me correctly.

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yep That Time Of Year and Love Kills both deserve votes too I think.

 

[Spiff]
