Helloween

[lumitalvi]

I going to see a band today which I myself consider a huge classic.
HELLOWEEN.
The other time will be at Wacken.

What do the RC crowds think about the band?
Classic or gay?

 

[IOfTheStorm]

HUGE classic, and those who bash Helloween are gay

 

[Ayeka]

Those two Keeper Of The Seven Keys album fucking rule!

Heavy Metal is the law that keeps us all united, free
A law that shatters earth and hell!
Heavy Metal can't be beaten by any dynasty
We're all wizards fighting with our spell!

 

[Tranquillian]

Their 80's catalogue can't be topped if we're talking power metal. Their 90's catalogues is hit and miss.

 

[NAD]

Never heard a single Helloween song. Honestly I've stayed far away for years because I confused them with that Grim Reaper - See You in Hell song, which is quite possibly the gayest thing on the planet. I'll pick up Keeper of the Seven Keys eventually, but probably a cheap and used copy because very little power metal impresses me.

Never heard a song from them, but if it's power metal, it's gay.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

they wrote an 11 minute epic about Charlie Brown. WIN!

 

[NAD]

Did it involve Charlie Brown taking an AK-47 to everyone in town and giving them what they deserve? If so, I'll buy it.

Dude, check out Heavy Metal (Is The Law), Future World and I Want Out for starters. They got about a dozen uber kewl songs

 

[Black Winter Day]

I like:

Keeper 1 and 2 (ESPECIALLY "Halloween" -- that's the Charlie Brown one and it pwns.)
Chameleon
The Dark Ride tis OK, so is Better Than Raw. But I don't listen to either much NEmore.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

arg, "Walls Of Jericho" is their best

 

[Black Winter Day]

Forgot about that one... never heard it. Kai Hansen rules. Ram-a-Gay rules. My friend has it and it has that gay little ditty from Halloween 3 ("8 more days to Halloween..." to the tune of London Bridge. That movie blows.), therefore it is cool.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah, Keeper pt 2 is cool - especially the epic title track, and Dr Stein is good fun.

Helloween played at the greatest metal festival line up of all time: Donnington Monsters of Rock 1988.

Dude, turn in your fucking metal gear NOW! Steve Grimmett of Grim Reaper had a great voice. Ever heard ONSLAUGHT's "In Search Of Sanity?" Any fan of old school Metallica should check that record out.

Anyhow, in regards to Helloween, I enjoy the Keeper albums from the Micahel Kiske era, and I enjoy most of the Andi Deris era, The Dark Ride is superb, perhaps their best. Never liked the really early stuff...

 

[Evil C.]

Helloween are indeed metal gods. I saw them last year in chicago, and was just blown away by their show....

anyone not into helloween should indeed make them part of your metal collection...NOW!!

[lumitalvi]

Well the gig was AWESOME
The played Keeper of the Seven Keys all the way through!
They didn´t play I want out, which was a small disappointment, but who cares, the gig ruled still!

 

[JayKeeley]

The difference between speed metal and power metal can be simply explained by the difference between Walls of Jericho and Keeper part 1.

Agree/Disagree?

 

[Tranquillian]

Agree

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Leave out Twilight of the Gods and yes.

 

[J.]

i love the keepers. give me a list of the worthwhile helloween albums
