Helloween and Gamma Ray suck.
Seriously. I've been saying things like, "they are good technically," or "I guess I just haven't gotten into them," for ten years now. I really tried to like them. I listened to them a lot. I saw Gamma Ray live. I watched live videos from past and present on Youtube. I sat down and listened to the classic albums. I rocked to them at parties. But after ten years, each band has given me two songs that I like, and only one of them is one I actually put on relatively often. And, just to get this off my chest once and for all, in my very own personal opinion that I do not consider a truth outside of my own very head...
THESE TWO BANDS ARE CRAP.
