Power Metal (Moved from another thread)

Agreed. The early Helloween stuff was excellent. They lost their way after Keeper pt 2.

cant agree to that. All Helloween albums are good, even Chameleon I love. and after pink bubbles and chameleon they totally destroyed with Andi Deris on vocals, I think Better than Raw is one of their best albums ever, I still havent got Gambling with the devil but Keeper part 3 was their best release ever IMO, destroys first two keepers

Yeah I love Rhapsody. I know they are cheesy, but I take their music so much more seriously than any power metal band. Their skills in composition are leaps and bounds above any symphonic metal band I've heard. Like them or not, you have to respect their musical genius.

I do like them man, i was just stating the irony that you said you like your power metal serious yet you like a band that has such horribly ridiculuos videos as "Holy Thunderforce" and Rain of a thousand flames (free porn :)). I dont like my power metal serious, I like it with leather, funny and as gay as it gets.

Yeah their videos are really really bad, and I love laughing at them, but I prefer them on CD :p

Now, it figures, that of all the dumbass goofy power metal shit you guys like, you call Helloween a "joke band", LOL. I actually like Helloween, at least the first couple of records (Walls of Jericho, Keeper Of The Seven Keys Pt. 1...)

Seriously Larry? I wouldn't have expected you to resort to lame generalizations and stereotypes....

If I were to call COLDPLAY commercial crap, or HIM and SISTERS OF MERCY faggoth Hot Topic crap, you would come down on me harder than a Macho Man Randy Savage elbow drop off the top rope!

All genres of music (there are NO exceptions) have their fair share of "goofy shit" bands. It's music. It's entertainment.

Sure, some bands have more redeeming qualities both musically and vocally than others.

As Vito pointed out, the highlight of Rhapsody's music is definitely their musical composition, and not their lyrics.

I mean, would you say that Dio's solo material is "goofy power metal shit"?

Heavy metal has always been rich lyrically in fantasy.
Sure, some of the 90's and beyond power metal bands took it to another level. No doubt there is a lot of cheese, but same with every genre.

Wow, really?
Keepers 3 is one of my least fav releases of theirs.
I wish they didn't call it Keepers 3, though I understand the reasonings.
New label, etc. Helps with sales, etc.
Thought it was high on promise, but low on delivery.
Just my opinion.

I thought you would've noted the fact that I was kidding around in my post you quoted, Jason. I was teasing you guys, nothing more.
 
Wait... I must be thinking of something else. What other bands have hell*** in the title?
 
Got it... sorry for that stupid joke that is entirely unrelated :erk: continue...

I wore a cowboy hat for years and years, before it got super trendy again. At least the Pantera guys were from Texas and grew up with them. But when I started seeing numerous European underground metal guys suddenly wearing cowboy hats all the time, I knew it was time to retire it :lol:

I have said it before....

It's tough being a power metal fan around these parts! :lol:

I think it's tough being a power metal fan anywhere! I had my MP3 player on random in the car the other day as I was taking my wife somewhere. Hammerfall came on and she said "Is this from the 80's? It's terrible!" She didn't think much to Sabaton either, but then she's not a metal fan, so what does she know!
