Most wrist-slashingly emotive ballads

Pull Me Under
Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' is probably my favourite ballad. Other good'uns:
Alice in Chains - Am I Inside?
Alice in Chains - Don't Follow
Black Sabbath - Changes
Megadeth - Promises
That's all I can think of right now, no doubt there are heaps more though!

Cinderella - Nobody's Fool
As much as Cinderella used to annoy me, that song is pretty damn good! And Shake Me! Awesome 80s metal!

Metal as fuck
I don't know about wrist-slashing ballads, but everytime I listen to Sentenced or the latest My Dying Bride, not to mention some of Nevermore's stuff, I'm glad I'm not of a suicidal nature...
Hahaha Tim... Cinderella are definitely a band with a misleading image I reckon. They look like pop/keyboard glam or something... but they actually rock hard! Night Songs is so good! Hehe.

Coming soon...
'Life Is Black' from the forthcoming DUNGEON album.
... not really a 'smiley'.
And, as LT says, George Lynch's solo in Alone Again is pretty damn emotional, as is Dave Gilmour's solo at the end of Comfortably Numb.

Bejabbers!
Don't know if it counts as a ballad or not, but definately wrist-slashing:
Me and a Gun - Tori Amos
Me and a Gun - Tori Amos
I LOVE that song

And then there's the ultimate...
Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Middler!
"Did you ever know you're my he---" ...oh crap... *sob*.. got something in my eye... *sniff*
HAHAHAHAHA!

YOU'RE KIDDING! Gay, no-nuts (un)power metal bands now have a new king! (queen?)
I'm just waiting for a cover of YMCA or a Bronski Beat cover from yet another one of these Euro wuss band clones!

Hey, I like Sonata Artica
You've just lost a fan, Timmy, unless you can make up for it with a pithy comment or two. Of course, a personal thank-you in the notes of Dungeon's next album will always help as well

Cooool. Get your people to call my people to give them their contact details so that my people can then call your people to discuss said inclusion.
Actually, seeing as we've decided that I'll get a personal thankyou on the next album, we should figure out exactly what I'll be thanked for. Maybe I can be mentioned as a technical advisor on the Tasslehoff Burrfoot song that I'm still hoping is going to be on the album. Yeah.
People, you should really listen to Sonata Arctica - they're much better than your average castrati-like power metal bands. They don't sing about dragons or stuff like Rhapsody do, they sing about REAL issues... well, I've worked out that one song is about stalking, and they have a couple of nice songs about love turned bad, but they ROCK.

Warrant have some cool ballads... Heaven, Sometimes She Cries, I Saw Red
Ralphe: You hate I Remember You???? thats one of the best ballads!!!!!
I agree I'm not a fan of their 3rd album Subhuman Race, but get out Slave To The Grind... only *just* behind the first album in my book.... The Threat, Monkey Business, Slave To The Grind, Get The Fuck Out, Psycho Love, Mudkicker, Livin On A Chain Gang... it RULES!! And the 2 ballads Wasted Time and Quicksand Jesus *ARE* are the 2 greatest heavy metal ballads ever written!!!
Okay,i guess i don't really hate "i remember you" but the original point to the the thread was that i hate all METAL BALLADS.I really hate the fact that every metal band seems to need to play a ballad in order to prove that they can actually play music.Metal is so much better when bands play what they believe in(and not just what might sell them them a few more records!!!!!!)
by the way, i don't actually have slave to the grind but i do have subhuman race.....i'm not quite sure how that happened.....maybe i got 'subhuman race' and thought it was pretty average so didn't but the 2nd CD.....but that doesn't make any sense as i absolutely love the 1st CD so i can't understand why i didn't buy the 2nd CD but got the 3rd CD
