afaict the intersection between power metal and prog-metal is of a similar integrity (but of a different nature) to the intersection between prog and prog-metal, although the colouring of the clothes loses its exclusive blackness somewhere around the prog-metal vicinity

basically i am trying to formulate an opinion of power metal based on my less-than-favourable opinion of prog-metal, therefore qualifying for a kicking itt

perhaps unwisely, I will use this thread to unveil my most shameful metal secret... I was always more of a sci-fi guy and never really cared about lord of the rings.

please do not judge me too harshly, for I still know what is best in life. (crushing your enemies, seeing driven before you, hearing the lamentations of the women, and power metal.)

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

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 metal2. suck less3. try it again4. take a long serious look in the mirror and hate your weakness5. listen to power metal6. succeed in sucking less(optional: fail in sucking less, stab your failing eyes out with the shards of your nickleback cd collection)

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.
