Neither!! MAybe a little bit power but mostly just heavy! Definately not a Gamma Ray anyways

YES! BUT .. 1. Only if they don't sound totally shitty fake instumenty 2. They are not overused so as to kill a song - balance them well and they can give real depth to guitars on their own. That is all!

i did say if you wanted it on the night and Wilky said "no i'll get it later". Botched

Very good point...but I haven't seen Wilky or you since the gig - unless you'd like me to post u a cheque!? What is Wilky doing now anyway?? its like he has dropped off the face of the planet!

and its not that I can't listen to anything else, it's that I don't freaking like it. I like what I like, and that's that. There is no grey area just Black & White.

Exsqueeze me!?? I think not... just because I don't like In Flames doesn't mean that I only like edam-metal! I'l try think up a list... Maiden Blaze (yes i like them! ) Hammerfall Rhapsody Luca Turilli Gamma Ray Helloween Blind Guardian <- attemps to call this cheese will be met with a kick to the ball sack. Lost Horizon Sonata Arctica Stratovarius Some Children of Bodom stuff Megadeth Metallica's first 4 albums Slayer Nightwish Edguy DragonForce Symphony X Iced Earth can't think of anymore right now but that is plenty diverse for me thanks!

lol i never said I could play it! I just figured it out! cant play it at anywere near full speed but maybe one day!

For those up for a challenge, try this.... its the synth sweeps to Bonnie Tyler's classic "Holding out for a Hero" - you can find them in the second chorus. I'm trying to arrange it heavy metal as a possible cover song. There's a fairly good chance that they ain't 100% spot on - I figured them out myself, but they sound pretty decent. -----------------------17-20-17-------------------| --------------------17----------17----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-15----------------------------------15-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| -----------------------17-20-17-------------------| --------------------17----------17----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-15----------------------------------15-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| -----------------------15-19-15-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------12-16----------------16-12----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----10-14----------------------------------14-10-| --10----------------------------------------------| -----------------------15-19-15-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------12-16----------------16-12----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----10-14----------------------------------14-10-| --10----------------------------------------------| ---------------------13-17-13------------------| ------------------13----------13---------------| ------------12-14----------------14-12---------| ---------15----------------------------15------| ----8-12----------------------------------12-8-| --8--------------------------------------------| ---------------------13-17-13------------------| ------------------13----------13---------------| ------------12-14----------------14-12---------| ---------15----------------------------15------| ----8-12----------------------------------12-8-| --8--------------------------------------------| -----------------------12-16-12-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-14----------------------------------14-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| -----------------------12-16-12-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-14----------------------------------14-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| -----------------------17-20-17-------------------| --------------------17----------17----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-15----------------------------------15-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| -----------------------17-20-17-------------------| --------------------17----------17----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-15----------------------------------15-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| -----------------------15-19-15-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------12-16----------------16-12----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----10-14----------------------------------14-10-| --10----------------------------------------------| -----------------------15-19-15-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------12-16----------------16-12----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----10-14----------------------------------14-10-| --10----------------------------------------------| ---------------------13-17-13------------------| ------------------13----------13---------------| ------------12-14----------------14-12---------| ---------15----------------------------15------| ----8-12----------------------------------12-8-| --8--------------------------------------------| ---------------------13-17-13------------------| ------------------13----------13---------------| ------------12-14----------------14-12---------| ---------15----------------------------15------| ----8-12----------------------------------12-8-| --8--------------------------------------------| -----------------------12-16-12-------------------| --------------------15----------15----------------| --------------14-17----------------17-14----------| -----------14----------------------------14-------| -----12-14----------------------------------14-12-| --12----------------------------------------------| Good Luck!!! :band:

Good call ov 7th, so long as the eponimous track gets played at the end again as an encore!! Still Slavery wins out for me, probably because we are missed a synth man for 7th son! My bad on the Angel & the Gambler T-shirt, saw it from afar and assumed....either way - its not the Live After Death shirt is it!! I don't even know what "emo" is meant to be - or if FF4F are emo. I dont even know what they are for sure, all I know is they are indeed, as Scorge so expertly put it ... "Pish". May I add "Utter" to precede Scorgie's contribution also? Yes I may. "Utter Pish". So...back to the maiden albums then!!!

I have heard it, my brother said "Ok you think they are gay emo, listen to this song." So I did... and it SUCKED even more than the others!! So yes, they are still turdular. And also In Flames are dumpsters too!

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys pt2 is ACE!! Sure, they may have a LOAD of shite albums out, but that one album alone saves them! Gamma Ray, yes indeed, are ace. Hammerfall, are even better - better than all except Iron Maiden! You cannot deny the pure rawk of their songs - no matter what Hardcore Erskine says! Funeral for a Friend = Emo. Notice the full stop, that means the funeral for a friend, are simply, emo. And that is all! They can be "Maiden" inspired all they like, but i noticed on my brother's poster that the guitarist with a beard wears the t-shirt to .... ... The Angel and the Gambler. Well done! You are a fan of Iron Maiden, but you wear the t-shirt to one of their worst songs EVER and definately their worst single. *clap clap* *applause* , etc. Now back on track, Maiden Taiwan - World Slavery Night feat. the whole Powerslave album?? When will it be!!!!!!!??

Now you've done it... you just can't get away with bad mouthing Nightwish like that - pure and simple, it is blasphemous. May you die a horrible death - and at you're funeral I will play the entire Nightwish backcatalogue!

I've always wanted to play that song live - always. I think that needs to be added in the set pretty damn soon!

Powerslave for the Rime of the Ancient Mariner finish!! And the churchill speech intro However, I wouldn't mind doing Piece of Mind either! Powerslave is still winning most definately... think of the set-list!! Intro: Churchill's Speech Aces High 2 Minutes To Midnight Lostfer Words Flash of the Blade The Duellists (woohoo!!!) Back in the Village (not so woohoo) Powerslave Rime of the Ancient Mariner - complete with full pyrotechnics for the finale and a supreme lighting, lasers and fog machine combo for the quiet part! Ok, that must surely be the next Taiwan project boys! Scorge you better get down the fukin gym boy!

Good album that! "Fly to the starlight, there where heroes lie."

Listen to DragonForce right now!! Then bow down before the feet of Herman Li! They are utterly phenomenal...the only thing better than their albums is their live performance!

Slayer are too far down the billing on main stage - a true injustice. All the rest = shit.

... or he let scorge have a shot!

Or a little tuning called Eb ???

....who likes em? Who knows em? Got their new album 2 weeks ago (Sonic Firestorm) and it DEFINATELY rocks like the last one! Opens with a pure belter of a song, something to give Valley of the Damned a run for its money! They kicked ass at Bloodstock '03, anyone who has seen them live knows what I mean! Herman Li is utterly phenomenal! His solos are out of this world! Thoughts?

Yeah it's fuckin' ace!! Best song by far is Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood though!

DragonForce www.dragonforce.com Saw them at Bloodstock '03 - they rule live! Also, their new album Sonic Firestorm can be had at HMV or Virgin so no excuses!!!

ps. they are fucking ACE live - saw them with scorge at Bloodstock '03

I'm more of a century child guy... End of all Hope, Dead to the World, Ever Dream, etc But Tutenkhamen, Elvenpath, Moondance, Devil & Deep Dark Ocean all rock!

um..... *no comment!*
