Power Metal- The cheesiest music ever- Or exciting with excellent musicianship?

[Morgana]

Hm... I like some bands... power metal is a huge genre...
For sure I'm not into macho metal = Manowar !

 

[Macabre_Transmigrant]

I think Nightwish kicks ass (opera with metal is pretty cool idea imo), but I don't like a lot of power metal.

Stun you FUCKING asshole, i mean, really . Opera and metal a good idea? its just some asshole trying to be creative and having that priority above the fact of whether it sounds good or not. *cough*low is not nu metal *cough*

Nightwish is the biggest pile of balls - "MASTER " "master apprentice" "WISHMASTER" what the hell kind oif lyrics are those? Stun you are the asshole among assholes you FUCKING spete.
:hotjump:

 

[Macabre_Transmigrant]

Stun is sexy.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I think Macabre is going schizoid.

 

[MindInsane]

Good God Macabre...relax there aggro! Sheesh!

 

[Morgana]

Actually I like the mix of classic and metal... well, I'm not really into Nightwish... but I do like Therion a lot...

:Smug: I'll say this a final time... I didn't call Low nu-metal. I said it seemed to be following the same sort of trend that Pantera, Sepultura, and many other metal bands were at that time. I'd already forgetten about that whole foolishness. What a loser, still thinking about it...

And about the rest of the crap you posted... IT'S CALLED A FUCKING OPINION. Why do so few ppl on the Testament know what that is???

Just for your information, I've heard two songs in my life from Nightwish and thought it was cool and unique. I don't even know what you're talking about with the lyrics... hell as if lyrics matter even the smallest amount in music. Come back when you grow up and figure out how to think before opening your mouth.

What tha fuck? I hope that post was sarcasm I mean, why the fuck call the guy an asshole because he voiced his opinion? get a grip

Ultimate symphony, I couldnt agree with u more, some people take it way too far- debates ,criticism, and opinions, are seen as personal insults- that must be met with more personal insult.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Yeah, that reminds me of someone else around here I won't mention any names hehe

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I think Jag Panzer is pretty damn good

Saw this on another board and thought it would be appropriate for this thread;

1. No matter what you do, you are gay

6. Do not talk about fantasy worlds.

7. Never talk about hobbits. Hobbits are gay

8. Do not have a band that has the word or variation of the word Elf in it.

9. Don’t say Hail and Kill. That is quite homosexual.

10. Avoid saying, “man that guy sure has a great falsetto!”

11. If most of the singers in the bands you enjoy have voices higher than your girlfriend, you are gay

12. Scratch that, you have no girlfriend.

45. Try to communicate with non-metal listeners. Do not brush them off as Posers.

[MindInsane]

LMFAO!!!!!

 

[Stun]

hehehe, I liked the 101 rules of black metal more.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Yeah, but these are pretty good too. But I don't think fantasy lyrics are completely without place...what about Alone In the Dark and The Haunting, for example? Fun shit, set to GOOD music.

 

[MindInsane]

hehehe, I liked the 101 rules of black metal more.

Hey Stun...where can I find the black metal rules?

 

[Stun]

Hmm I don't know. Somebody posted them on the Children of Bodom msg board a while ago. Someone in the Testament board probably has them... or you could try searching on yahoo or another search engine.

 

[metalicarus88]

It's totally excellent exept for some bands of course

 

[Disciple of the Watch]

Power metal isn`t just "Ah I have the sword in my hand! Let me cut a dragon or an orc!". There are many bands that don`t do that. For example Grave Digger

P.S. Morgana; Therion is totaly cool.

 

[Yetti]

the 51 rules thing is great
