Need help on EDGUY

need info on Edguy
I wasn't at Progpower but everyone has me curious. I am assuming they are power metal. The one thing about some power metal bands are the ones with vocalist that sound like their body parts are caught in a vice like Jag Panzer. I hate that even if the muscianship is good.

How would one describe Edguy? What would be the best cd to start off with?

I like them. Just an above average epic power metal band, but I like PM so it fits well with me... the vocalist got a Best Vocalist award if I remember correctly...

I'm afraid you will hear that again with Edguy, only in Sammet's very own yodel version
if you wanna hear a good singer doing high-pitched vocals without sounding too ridiculous and annoying, listen to David Readman's voice. he has a very clear and stable voice

HEY! U leave Tobias alone!

He rules live!

Look if you like power metal along the lines of Helloween then you'll love Edguy.

They get better with every cd. They have 5. 5 (one was a rerecording ) which isn't bad for a band that's got an average age of about 26 and have been around for 10 years


www.edguy.nu have a few samples.

I've you going to get any, I'd start with the latest and work back if you end up liking what you hear.

Look, I've seen the guys live 6 times and they never disappoint. Not only are they awesome performers but they're genuine guys without any rockstar attitude.

I was at ProgPower. Going in, I wasn't the biggest Edguy fan, but they were awesome live! Tons of energy, and Tobias Sammet is a very charismatic performer, picture Bruce Dickinson on speed..... So, I ran out and bought their newest album, all buzzed from the show. Know what? Same as before. A little stronger, but I still like them much better as a live band. On their sound, I'd compare them to old Kiske-era Helloween (which I LOVE), just a slightly lesser version for my tastes. I'd probably like these guys better if there was no Helloween. When I listen to Edguy, I find myself wanting to switch to 'Keepers Of The Seven Keys'.... I'll say this-- Edguy score big points for being a great live band as well as a bunch of very cool dudes to their fans. Zero points for originality, though. So, if you can't get enough of the old Helloween sound, you'll dig this enough.
