Thread for being unnecessarily hostile to people who hate power metal

Loincloth (southern lord one anyway) weren't power metal.

Heading out on a self-imposed mini-exile from ilx, but doing so in the spirit of this thread with Hammerfall blaring in my ears as I type.

finding it hard to reconcile any form of metal with all the fantasy names in that wikipedia list tbh

idk mellotron and flute/recorder seem to work under a banner that says 'GOBLINS' but no so much wailing 12-strings

Xxpost Go well, young Jon...may the beast protect you in your travels

Adam your jabbering is making my sword hand itch

you should have a sword in one hand and a lute in the other imo

none of this choppy electrified nonsense

oh that's adam?

I should have your throat in one hand and your entrails in another, insolent wastrel

you should have a sword in one hand and a lute in the other imo

how then do you propose to drink from a bone chalice, smart guy?

grow more arms with which to shred imo

fair enough

chop off both his arms and use him as the chalice, easily fixed

okay look basically if you have a big-arse gunmetal sword and a big-arse black suit of armour made of black armadillo hide and reside in a big black castle with gigeresque turrets and gargoyles and loads of lightning everywhere it's fine, but if you're in a calico sack and your ears are a bit pointy and you live in a village with a herb garden and an incidental cauldron you should not be hacking that stick bass like a norse warrior

xxxxxp i am at work

fwiw i am listening to neo-prog atm so my views may be unduly skewed

just to be clear

god okay

grow more arms with which to shred

the only time I have ever felt tempted to get a tattoo of something said on ilx

well besides the time I got "hate all the people who dis them but shot all the people who like them" done in Monika italic down the elbow side of my right arm

listened to Grief's Come to Grief earlier today ... :( ... feel as tho i should probably invest in those Barry Windsor Smith Conan the Barbarian comics that were recently compiled in hardbound volumes ... i am not worthy ... woe ... ;_;

now thats a proper great album (and isnt power metal)

(and isnt power metal)

my point exactly. woe be unto me. oh, woe ...

When losers say it's overwith, you know that it's a lie. The Gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die!

people who don't like power metal are such herbs

go season a cooking sauce, power metal hating herbs

oof

Aerosmith otm. parsley sage Rosemary and douchebags

hate nightwish and you are fuckin dead to me

"bare grace misery" or gtfo

if you listen to symphony x and you are like, "no, fuck this," maybe you should reconsider all of your terrible life decisions up to this point

i can't listen to sonata arctica because i had a roommate who listened to sonata arctica all the time but whatever he is a better person than you who hate power metal

also if you can't get down with blind guardian then fuck you in your fucking face

i feel a little bad about all of my hostility in this thread so as a lift you up by your bootstraps attempt i offer sort of a beginners guide to people who hate power metal

1. listen to power metal
2. suck less
3. try it again
4. take a long serious look in the mirror and hate your weakness
5. listen to power metal
6. succeed in sucking less
(optional: fail in sucking less, stab your failing eyes out with the shards of your nickleback cd collection)

i like your cuirass around your ankles

We're all in agreement that Gamma Ray totally sucks though, right?

I can't get enough of Sonata Arctica. They're catchy, they're good live, and they're not above having some fun. Same goes for Edguy.

i met this dude and he wasn't even Preternatural Transmogrifier.

Is king Diamond considered Power Metal, I've never seemed to think he was.. If he is, he might be the only PM I like.. and maybe those two Grim Reaper songs that were posted above, bad wigs or not.. lol

POSERS

I'd be okay calling King Diamond power metal...but then that drags me into well then what's Mercyful Fate...and in my dark little attic of a mind, they're both just kind of sitting there on their own, in their own category. Because, well...fuck, that's how it should be.

the glam Pantera hair makes me LOL and LOL and LOL mainly bc Anselmo looked like Rikki Rockett and no amount of hardcore dickishness can ever remove that image from my mind which is why I giggle whenever I see him

as per the key law of this thread you must now be unnecessarily hostile to yourself

no disrespect to anyone (aside from wimps, posuers, etc) but if Mercyful Fate is power metal, then the Ramones are 90's Lookout Records pop-punk

I never said Mercyful Fate were power metal AND I WILL GOUGE OUT YOUR EYES WITH MY RUSTY SPOON FOR READING IT AS SUCH

wait you eat with a spoon? my confidence is shaken in you. knives do everything spoons do, only sharper and more swordlike.

Nay I do not eat with my spoon, a plague on you for suggesting such...like the many weapons at my disposal I consider the rusty spoon yet another brush that I use to creat my art...part of the panopoly of instruments with which I draw the agonised screams of the vanquished

"bare grace misery" or gtfo

this is like my favorite fucking song ever and I want it played as they're launching my boat across the Styx

There's no Styx song called that wtf

yeah there is - the one that starts "Babe I'm leaving, I must be on my way/bare grace misery"

is it any wonder i've got
bare grace misery
