MANOWARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

That's the thing though. They are a fun cheesy. They are much more better when you have fun with them.
 
I had to review a DVD of theirs where they have MONOWAR conventions?!:ill:

I think I have that DVD. What a piece of crap... I was expecting a full concert, but instead it's a jumbled mess of partial song clips mixed with boring stuff like photoshoots & autograph sessions
 
Arguably all of its been cheesy but its just fun music to listen to although I haven't heard the newest album yet.
 
OK, OK, you all are right. Manowar have cheesy lyrics, like the following:


In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing

Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I whisper a candle in the night
Well carry all our dreams in a single dream of light

Close your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Falling stars now light my way
My life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below
High ascend the dream within

When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside
And there will be the road to all our dreams
For any day that stings two better days it brings
Nothing is as bad as it seems

Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind


Read carefully and if you still consider them as cheesy lyrics, then there is a problem. And I made a random choice of song, there a lot with better lyrics.

Too me it not cheesy is more girlish, I mean is the kind of thing flowery and covered in pink I would not expect from a metal band, but again that's me :D

On the other hand I bet several bands and songs I like have similar or worst lyrics and I have never paid attention, the difference is that I like those bands but not Manowar. Such is life in the tropic

Yeah nothing says manly like singing "Entrails from a virgins cunt" :)
 
Fixed it for you...

Dude. You listen to Motely Crue and Dokken. Are you kidding me? Almost every band I've seen you list have lyrics just as bad if not more poorly written than Manowar lyrics.

Anyway, the first four Manowar albums are amazing, despite the dumb lyrics. Extremely heavy, doomy, original Metal with ridiculous Conan-esque pomp and pretense. Everything afterwards is overly cheesy kitsch, but listenable (when drunk) for that same reason.

Well that's:

a) a bit too extreme
b) equally cheesy. 99.9% of the grindcore bands plus Cannibal Corpse had been there :rolleyes:

Dude. You listen to Motely Crue and Dokken. Are you kidding me?

And what if he does? If you want to discuss Motley Crue, Dokken or anything else open a thread and do it intelligently. I erased the two other post because it seems you both cannot argue without getting personal.

This is mainly about Manowar, like or dislike, keep your guns in the holders and behave. One more time this thread is about TASTE and that's is always subjective and must be respected by all parts.

Orfanos is one of the finest posters in here and he likes Manowar and I respect him, it's not for me but works for him. Sixxswine is another fine poster (and a great bouncer :lol: )and he likes Motley Crue and I respect him, it's not for me but works for him.

This is the last warning, keep the thread at bay and joke all you want, but no more verbal abuse or I'll lock it.
 
Well that was my point. Theres tons of cheese in metal.

Oh that's for granted you're absolutely right. But you know every then and now a topic comes that give room for some funny controversy :kickass:
