Fav Metal Ballads

I do love Heaven but there are better ballads out there than Heaven, eg the ones on my list haha. But Heaven is a killer too! I almost put it there actually but left it off. Probably the best Warrant ballad, though all the ballads on the first 2 albums are great.
 
Motley Crue - You're All I Need
Bad English - When I see you smile
Extreme - More than Words
Mr. Big - To Be With You
Journey - Open Arms (not sure if ballad)
The Cars - Drive
 
Vehemence- Her beautiful eyes

My hands clasped tight, saliva spills
From my mouth down to the pavement
Sitting alone I see the girls
In uniforms walking to school

Rising to my feet now to get a better view
Tiny pre-pube tits blazoned with the word of god
Tight little asses aching for my cock
These christian bitches will never survive my wrath

Classes have begun, I must find them
Traversing through the field I search
And I find the bitch I must fuck
Tearing at her tattered clothing

They say that jesus saves, apparently not her
As i pierce her flesh with the cross dangling on her neck
Whittling away at her breast until it's gone
She dies from the shock, I fall in love with her

Wearing the cross where jesus died, ironic to say the least
My instrument of death is the same as another bastard liar

Molest innocent children lunatic bastard

Gazing into her eyes, the light gleams
Reflecting in shades of color I can't imagine
Feeling her tender limp body preesed firmly
Weeping at the beauty of her lost innocence
Devouring the last of her ovaries
A tear drips from my eye lamenting the loss

exhausted and broken, I lay next to my stiffened bride
Caressing her severed limbs and wishing she could die again

The beauty of her death is so very arousing
Grabbing her severed head and removing her eyes
Sliding my cock deeply into her skull
And I gaze fondly into her beautiful eyes


BEST BALLAD EVER
 
by the way, I wasn't really thinking when I posted my fav ballads, cos I posted my fav ballads, not fav METAL ballads.

I guess I prefer ballads performed by rock bands to those performed by metal bands? I don't know.
 
just thought of two:

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity
White Lion - When the Children Cry

is Queensryche's "Real World" a ballad? Cos if it is, then that'd definately be up there, love that song and love Last Action Hero.
 
I think a ballad is more than just a song that's slow. I doubt if half the songs mentioned in this thread are ballads at all. Oh well.
 
bal·lad

1. a) A narrative poem, often of folk origin and intended to be sung, consisting of simple stanzas and usually having a refrain.
b) The music for such a poem.
2. A popular song especially of a romantic or sentimental nature.

__________________________________________

A song of sentimental nature, makes the scope a little broader than I thought.
 
Ballads - my definition of a ballad is something you can sing along to that makes you feel all mushy..... yes I am a sadass ballad girl......

Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi
Me and You - Alice Cooper
I still love you - Kiss
Goodbye to Romance - Ozzy Osbourne
I remember you - Skid Row
Don't Cry - GNR
Close my Eyes forever - Ozzy & Lita Ford
For Crying out Loud(you know I love you) - Meatloaf
The Wild Rose Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
I can't stop the Rain - Peter Criss
