Power Metal is not gay.

[Rhapsodic_Sickness]

Power metal is considered gay by a lot of metal heads. This pisses me off. I mean, I like Megadeth, slayer, venom, etc., as well as some death-metalish stuff like arch enemy and in flames, but i love power metal, too. Most metalheads i talk to these days say shit like "Dragonforce is gay." "Nightwish is gay." Dio is gay." "Blind guardian is gay." "Edguy is gay." I mean, it just seems like if they can actually understand what the vocalist is saying then they think it's "gay", and that's pretty fucked up.

this thread is very ghey (almost as ghey as power metal)
















I kid I kid, I like power metal alot although I don't listen to alot of bands in the genre (hibria, morgana lefay, symphony x, pagan's mind)

 

[Rhapsodic_Sickness]

it's cool.

 

[ohiogrinder]

sorry dude I think its extremely gay.

and I hear you take it up the pooper

Power Metal is awesome. To be fair, though, Dragonforce is pretty gay.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

there's really no need for this thread though

so IBL

Well the vocals in power metal is what turns me off, I mean fuck its not the 1980s anymore.

Edguy
Therion
Sonata Arctica

etc.

All fucking kickass bands, but you know what ruins it? VOCALS!!!! I wish there was a way to just edit out all the vocals and just have the instruments. Clean vocals are cool, but please not clean high toned vocals like that, its just god awful.

But, to each their own.

Sonata Arctica vocals = .

Fuck you, you don't have to be a dick.

By the way, out of curiousity , who the hell calls it a pooper?

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

power metal vocals are great, although I prefer when it's slightly more aggressive (like judas priest, later symphony x, morgana lefay, nevermore, etc...) but the pure power metal vocals are great too

Just because they're high?

I think I clearly explained myself all ready.

 

[Hell Awaits Us All]

judas priest and symphony x does the best power metal vocals IMO

 

[Rhapsodic_Sickness]

this.

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

Clean vocals that work

Bjorn Strid (Soilwork/Disarmonia Mundi/Terror2000)
Mikael Akerfeldt (Forgot the name off the top of my head, the Scar Symmetry lead singer, I know his first name is Mikael )
Norbert Leitner (Lords of Decadence)

etc.

Thats the type of clean vocals I was talking about that I find acceptable and actually very good

[genocide roach]

oh, and im also a huge fan of "extreme" metal too. im just a well rounded metal head with a tendancy to go from grind to power metal in a day.

i kinda have musical ADD
