Thread for being unnecessarily hostile to people who hate power metal

This is unfuckwithable as far as I am concerned:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOKbqfzD6rc

man just today I heard about some guy who didn't like power metal and even though I didn't know the guy in my mind I was like "fuck you, dude"

see now that just seems like necessarily hostile to me

this hate furnace isnt going to stoke itself dude

Scott may have just given me the subject of my next Deciblog column.

hahaha jjjusted

right now I'm listening to Epica, a Dutch power metal band. Do they sample Malcolm X in "The Price of Freedom - Interlude"? yes, yes they do.

anyway yeah let me get back on the stick here, attn power metal haters, I hope your eyes fall out and some guy in chain mail stomps on them while yelling RRRAAAGGGGHHHH and it's like he's doing it right in front of your eyes except you don't have eyes any more because power metal dude just stomped on them

sad 4 u, hate power metal + have no eyes

this now resembles a pantera message board

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anz_kVX3KGk

"I'LL KICK YA FUCKING NOSE OFF, STOMP, STOMP, LEFT, STOMP, STOMP, RIGHT, I'LL BOX IN YA FACE TILL THERES NO TEETH LEFT!"

that's not power metal.

he might be smithys power metal lovin dude who is doing the stomping

I hope a dragon eats your bones.

go back to your D&D

This is the thread for being unnecessarily hostile to people who hate power metal, not people who love power metal.

this now resembles a pantera message board

I guess if there's a pantera message board with a power metal subforum, maybe

let me know if I should move any further responses to the "thread for being necessarily condescending to people who don't know what power metal is" though

attn Power Metal Haters: you fucked up

hahahahaha

I'm really bad at distinguishing subspecies of metal. But I do really like all the bands on that list who I have actually HEARD. I guess I'm batting 1.000 on my power metal non-hating thus far!

the way you can tell it's power metal is a simple test -- "if I tell my friends I like this, will I get made fun of?" if "yes," then it's probably power metal

Recommend me a Man O' War record to listen to, O mighty lords of power metal...

where do kick axe fit in

in the axe iirc

Recommend me a Man O' War record to listen to, O mighty lords of power metal...

ALL OF THEM.

OK, maybe just the first four.

deal, thanks!

Wimps and posers, leave the hall!

Power metal. in my experience, is either really really good or really really awful. There isn't a whole lot of mediocre. Basically, if you are going to go power, go hard or go home really. You can't half ass this stuff.

Wimps and posers, leave the hall!

lol

THEY ARE BABIES THAT SHOULD BE THROWN INTO THE FIERY PITS OF HELL WHERE THEY WILL SEE THE AWESOME POWER METAL PLAYING ALL AROUND THEM AND REALIZE THAT THEY LEFT IT TOO LATE TO APPRECIATE THE AWESOMENESS OF POWERMETAL WHILE ON EARTH AND NOW THEY ARE DEAD AND IN HELL SO HAHAHA ALL OF THEM THEY ARE LOSERS WHO WOULDN'T KNOW A DRAGON OR A DECENT CODPIECE IF IT KNOCKED THEM OFF THEIR STUPID BICYCLE

Hey people who hate power metal, nice crackerjack clothes, chumps!

otm, lol @ those dudes, what is wrong w/them

how do you even hate Manowar. I don't understand

I think I'm gonna listen to nothing but Manowar on my flight(s) from NJ to Texas tomorrow. That should properly prepare me for SXSW.

GUYYYYYANNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Do IN FLAMES count as power metal? They were my first US concert

All the song names on that Midnight Sun album are pretty great:

Metal Gods
Dungeons And Steel
Temple Of The Graal
Steel To Steel
Metal Machine
FIght
Distorted Eyes
Your Blood Burns In Hell
Keeper Of The Gate
Metal Will Stand Tall

how do you even hate Manowar. I don't understand

― VegemiteGrrl,

they do nothing for me. Neither does cheesy power metal.

all metal is kindof appalling to me i could list other things

Bands on that wiki i do like
Hammers of Misfortune

you realize that you are posting on the thread for being unnecessarily hostile to people who hate power metal, and that in your multiple posts to said thread you are saying that you hate power metal

just making 100% sure that you are saying "unload and pelt me with baseless, gratuitous abuse" because this thread in its title announces that its intention is to give you exactly that if you hate power metal & I don't want to hear any power-metal-unworthy whining when your grace period expires

hey, you cant like everything.

hey algerian goalkeeper hey plaxico EAT COW PATTY

ooh harder

right AG but again you are not posting on "Power Metal Classic or Dud" or "Let's Talk About Power Metal" you are posting on "Thread for being unnecessarily hostile to people who hate power metal." I don't want to hear any complaints when I propose that you be placed in a capsule and launched into space

and that when you get out into space you learn that your water bottles are full of Kai Hansen's piss

fuck yall we're from texas

Algerian Goalkeeper, we are armed with flying dragons and battle-axes and flaming swords of death and WE ARE NOT AFRAID TO USE THEM

back away slowly or start digging your grave. Up to you

these youtubes are probably all terrible

also I saw Manilla Road at Death Fest and they rocked and anybody who doesn't like Manilla Road will be impaled upon my studded codpiece

dont you dare compare the mighty manilla road with the shite on this thread!

I'm still not convinced Manilla Road isn't an ironic performance art piece.

bill magill was really upset they made the top metal albums of alltime poll

Every piss I take that's not on the severed head of a Power Metal Hater is a piss wasted.

if you don't like Labyrinth's "Return to Heaven Denied" Ima stick your nuts in a blender

lol i love this thread, and fuck you if you don't like power metal

otm

I used to outright loathe power metal. But since I've started to listen to more and more metal in the past few years/started valuing escapism above pretty much anything else (in music), my stance has softened (er... hardened?) towards it as I probably listen to stuff that wobbles dangerously close power metal territory. Can't help but hate myself for that, just a little.

is hammers of misfortune power metal? new album is good

or is power metal one of those things like goth where no good band who is goth actually calls themselves goth and any band who cops to it probably sucks?

There's a pretty trustworthy regional divide in quality. US power metal is mostly pretty cool, because it's basically just plain old heavy metal. European power metal is the kind with giggly crackhead elf vocals, synth and a general sense that all the metal got sucked out of the equation.

No. Power metal is not fucking like fucking goth. Power metal is about well-justfied high self-esteem.

xpost: European power metal is awesome. Synthesizers in metal are awesome. Elves will kick your ass if they have to make a giant elf-pyramid to reach it.

Got the new Hammerfall album this week - they've switched labels, from Nuclear Blast to Napalm. First song on the record is called "Bring It!" and totally lives up to that title - chorus is a gang shout.

Oh, and to keep to the thread's purpose, anyone who doesn't like Hammerfall can catch a hammer in the teeth.

Gang shouting is the original and proper meaning of "chorus".

finally getting around to hearing Hammerfall (Glory to the Brave). this is my wheelhouse. I'm not into the proggier or the more ridiculous power metal, but the Maiden-y heavy metal stuff with soaring choruses and cheese-factor = my love.

what other stuff is worth checkin' out from this here genre

I guess I like Grave Digger now? I was sour on them at first cos I saw them open for Blind Guardian, and nobody was going to measure up to BG that night, but this is pretty fun stuff and it's not weenie-like.

oh wait I forgot the thread conceit.

lol if u don't like Grave Digger I'll dig urs u fukin pussy

u don't like Eternal Champion because ur a transient loser

if u don't like Burning Witches there's a stick up ur ass

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

should have known Brad was a scholar almost 11 years ago with this post.

if you don't like Divine Wings of Tragedy, i will vivisect you!

If you didn't like Warlord in 1983 you were a shitlord who probably listened to Pyromania and .38 Special instead.

Iced Earth? You seem like the type who will participate in an insurrection!

haha bewm

if you hate Gamma Ray, I hope an antelope shits in your mouth while you are slowly killed by jackals and your girlfriend has sex with someone else in front of you

I unapologetically love Symphony X

oh I forgot the thread theme, uh, if you don't, then suck my dick

If the unbridled positivity of Fellowship doesn't thaw your frozen heart, then you probably just hate hobbits tbh
