What do you think of power metal?

[anvil(old)]

I love Power Metal - Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Kamelot, Virgin Steele. All great bands.

I love it. There'a a new band from Sweden called Dream Evil and they are really good. The debut album is "Dragonslayer" and is great. I'm listening right now!

Some of my fav current power metal bands are Sonata Arctica, Stratovarious, Blind Guardian ( Although they arent pure power metal IMO), Dark Moor, Rhapsody, etc etc etc!! It kicks ass!!

Can you ppl really describe true metal think about and if you can please tell me how.

PM makes me wanna laugh out loud. It's more wimpy than Def Leppard and Mr. Big.
How can so many people think that it's all cool if we just put a dragon on the cover and don't care about the fact that the music is anything but EPIC..

Power Metal is funny, cheesier than a four cheese pizza. Some of it is absolutely hilarious, just listen to Rhapsody, comedy spoken passages!

That and those sing-along choruses...

The musicianship is generally very good though, but how can some of those bands take themselves seriously?

Wacken last year said it all: Hammerfall with a PINK castle stage set ...

Couldn't have said it better myself, it's fun to listen to some "leaping elfs" lyrics once in a while....not too often though.
