That's from their latest album, Ghost Opera. Its a good album, but not my favorite by them. I recommend starting out with Karma and Epica then if you like what you hear check out The Fourth Legacy and The Black Halo.

What the hell is "power metal"?!?

Doesn't sound like it's anything as cool as TurboNegro's "Apocolypse Dudes".

Or Probot.

Isn't Kamelot the band that had that one happy song about rape?

I only listen to a little Power Metal, but what I listen to I love. I can't believe no one has mentioned (in my eyes) the top 3 Power Metal bands ever.

1. Dream Evil (I fucking love Dream Evil)
2. Hammerfall (Not as good as DE but still pretty awesome)
3. Stratovarios (" ")

I hate Dragonforce with a passion, the notion that playing a guitar really fast makes you good is fucking stupid.

Power metal used to be very different. There was a time when it referred to things like Jag Panzer's Ample Destruction and as Trash brought up, Manowar (who aren't nearly as homo as most of the bands I see listed, their first 4 albums are untouchable), when the music was supposed to be powerful and not just guitar wankery and with a wailing douche trying to imitate Bruce Dickinson.


I honestly despise most bands that call themselves power metal at this point, it's just another buzz word now.

And I do like Helloween and Ramma Gay.

As far as Blind Guardian? Speed up Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer and you have your template for nearly every Blind Guardian song.

My mother says that Dragonforce "is not music". You lot seem to agree with her. I wholeheartedly like Dio and Nightwish though. Nightwish's cover of Andrew Lloyd Webber's title track from the Phantom of the Opera musical made theatrical cheese dark and brutal, whereas Dio invented the \m/ symbol.

Well Dio's Holy Diver album is just amazing.

I feel like I should like Blind Guardian, being a huge nerd and all, but I don't.
Nightwish ain't bad, though.

Need to listen to 3 inches of blood, one vocalist with falsetto, another vocalist with growls works so well together. Listen to their Advance and conquer album.

On the other topic I would consider Dragonforce more speed metal though.

Whats wrong with Dragonforce?

Sound great live and on their albums. Can't say they sounded any slower live when I saw them either. Weather they're Power Metal or not doesn't matter to me.

Seriously they don't have to be to everyones liking, nor do they have to be the best band in the world but they don't deserve the slating they get imo.

Blind Guardian and Dragonforce make me want to watch man on man Lord of the Rings porn and laugh.

3 Inches of Blood? I absolutely refuse to support any band that has/had a member who picked a fight with someone in Saxon. Disrespectful bitches.

If it's any consulation (and in the band's defense), the 3 Inches drummer got roughed up worse, by security, than Nigel and he was fired. Anyways, it's nice to know that someone other than me and Lars Ulrich listens to Saxon.

I saw them (3 Inches of Blood) play not long before that all happened and they didn't do much for me at all. I had heard a few songs of theirs before but the 2 vocalist thing is really gay to me. Their performance was average and very forgettable, and I was actually sober through the entire show. They were nice enough people but sadly being friendly isn't enough for me to like a band's music.
I'm well aware they fired him, which was smart of the band to do, they might have faced a massive boycott in Europe for that. You don't fuck with Saxon.

Does anyone remember the commercial with the power metal band playing in the background but the video was some ultraman looking robot fighting a giant office supplies monster? I don't remember if it was for kinkos but it was ridiculous.

That was "Grab Your Garvin", featuring Steve Grimmett from Grim Reaper.
