Joe Atom Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Originally posted by Dan Atom:Indeed that is true about emo.But then again the ONLY vaguely emo album I own is funeral for a friend... who are MASSIVELY inspired by Iron Maiden anyway.And European power metal? Guilty.Though I don't have too much of that cos a lot of it shite. A little Helloween here, a bit of Nightwish there... but at least it is all inspired from Maiden.Infact Maiden were the first power metal band... Hang your head in shame... Funeral For a Friend may be slightly inspired by Maiden but... oops... they're shite! All that screaming then poncing about going "look at me, I'm all sensitive!" You'd nae catch Maiden doing that.And everyone always says to me, oh you love Iron Maiden, you'll love Helloween / Stratovarius / Gamma Ray / insert another shite power metal band here. And I don't it's all a bunch of pish with overdone vocals and harmonies on everything all the time and an annoying double kick drum going on all the time! It's a lot of pish!I think the key here is that there is a difference between doing something well and overdoing something. Iron Maiden fall on the right side of that line, Nightwish, however, definitely fall on the wrong side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Atom Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Might actually be a good idea... for some reason I just can't imagine you as a frontman... too used to seeing you on drums! To be honest I keep imagining you in your insurance salesman garb (salmon pink shirt, tie etc.) on stage... I doubt you'll convince me that emo isn't nads though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know, I might venture out of the house at some point.BTW it's a long time since I saw you at one of our gigs... I think that you too should perhaps venture along to see us... you might be impressed also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I was 8 when it came out and haven't been able to get it since But "temptation" by Dearly Beheaded in the gatefold is a pretty good replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest highroller Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 yes yes yes i had that album...my girlfriend of the time stole it....i dont remember much aprt from Rico produced it...the bass player was an awesome guy who was in metal hammers super fan about his obsession with pantera and that the last song "wrench" was the best....

Foreskin Ninja Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 "Walls Of Jericho" by Helloween has some ace songs on it, but alot of their stuff is pretty dull, I downloaded some Gamma Ray and wasn't really impressed, it was ok I guess. However, Dragonforce are the kings of power metal. "OTHER BANDS PLAY"...".."? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Atom Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Enough! This is NOT a power metal adoration thread, and if it's going to turn into one I will withdraw my official endorsement of it.That's you told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disco Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 I am very confused by the way this has gone, Scorgie what have you done. Lard and you i don't want to know! Up the Atom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Shit I've missed a lot! NPFTD is ace. Production & lyrics are a bit shite at times but musically it's a good listen. Holy Smoke is the cheesiest & best Maiden video!As for Power Metal, Iced Eearth is the only one I listen to (if you can even call them Power Metal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disco Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Yes, they are. I have been abused by The Glorious Burden. The Gettysburg cd is passable but disc one is very very bad indeed. That'll teach me to raid my brother's cd collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Atom Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I would call them power metal. But it's probably better than Helloween Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Disco Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I've heard that Helloween album of Mac's. Iced Earth are better than that, but only just! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scorge Spike Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Leave Helloween out of this, you cunt! Shite they may be, but Keeper Of The Seven Keys pisses over No Prayer any day of the year in my most humble opinion. *goes to gym* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Atom Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 I bought the Helloween best of, and with the exception of Halford's Ressurection it is the single worst purchase I have ever made in my life. Apart from their cover of Priest's Electric Eye which is all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it on today just so that I would have an educated opinion of it. Therefore Scorge, by saying that your Helloween album is better than No Prayer, you are comparing two turds. Either way, there both shite, just one has more nuts in it than the other.p.s.- thanks to Len for lending me his copy of No Prayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
