In my opinion, a Power Metal band which is generally melodic/symphonic covering a thrashy song from reign in blood would be pretty ugly. Just imagine PQ covering Angel of Death...oh boy.
Power Quest playing covers?

I think this is an attitude that changes with age, experience, musical knowledge. It's the equivalent of a teenager thinking Blink 182 were the bee's knees up until they really hear, not just passively listen, but really 'get' Pink Floyd or Led Zep or some other classic rock giant for the first time. Like a musical awakening. It doesn't mean that old always = good...only that you develop a completely new appreciation for how that old, classic stuff is timeless, how much influence it had and how much depth there is to what makes it so landmark.

That's your opinion. Not mine. I think it would be awesome and if any band can make something out of it, it's PQ
ooooooooooooo really man? pink floyd and led zep were that great? to be honest, i've never heard ANY song from them cos I thought that they suck cos they are from many years ago.

You haven't lived if you haven't checked out Pink Floyd.......it's all about the albums....you have to listen to "Dark side of the Moon" as a whole thing rather than just one song from it.
Also check out "Meddle", another great PF album
Led Zeppelin....so many great songs.....check out "immigrant song" for starters!

And go listen to some Queen too, while you're at it, Indestructible. They're one of those bands that made music so good it's not actually about genres anymore.
Oh, and speaking of covers: If Power Quest would actually cover "Through the Fire and the Flames", I would love for them to do it somewhat in this fashion:

These bands mentioned laid down the foundations to the music that you listen to today... you may not like the music but you should at least respect their work and contributions.
I certainly wouldn't be playing music if it wasn't for bands like Queen that's for sure!

I suspect Noam was being sarcastic but it sort of backfired because people readily accept the possibility that he hasn't listened to the greats. You can disregard whatever music you like, of course, but I personally think it's more than a little ignorant to not look back on what the music you love today is built on...mortals who stand on the shoulders of giants.

Right. Oh well, point still stands.
New PQ cover desire - pretty much anything off Europe's 'Wings of Tomorrow', what an album!
