Wicked Metal Ballads

[MAIDEN67]

Hey all my metal masters! Need some help! I'm trying to put a list together of some wicked metal ballads and I need ideas.
Here's my list so far:

Metal Church-Watch the Children Pray
Metallica-Fade to Black
Iron Maiden-Children of the Damned

Crap, I can't find my list :Smug: Anyway, just to give you an idea of where I'm going with this. I want ballads that put you into another realm. The type of song that makes you get lost.

Looking forward to your suggestions!!

Slaughter-Fly to the Angels
Metallica-Lover Man

I knew I came to the right place!! Keep 'em coming, there's a lot of music out there. I like the heavy duty ballads. Not necessarily slow, I want wicked. My all time , I mean 100% loyalty of love, favorite bands (a tie) is Iron Maiden and Pantera. To me, This Love is a ballad. That's the kind I'm wanting.

As for Metallicat, all I can say is... Stay fierce!

The only two pantera songs ive got are "cowboys from hell" and "domination," partly becuz ive got too many Iron Maiden, Metallica, old skool metal and children of bodom and arch enemy songs lol. Ill listen thru the old skool stuff and get another list

Hey, Metallicat! That's Silent Lucidity. Might wanna read the liner notes once in a while. You could learn something! Exactly why I don't download music, I go out and buy it! That way, I have something tangible in my hands. And I can look at the cool stuff inside, too!
