I know this is a very old thread, but I came across it because I was looking for any info on the Kiske/Hansen/Smith collaboration. I have to say, hearing the sounds of Kai and Smith's guitars together is really awesome. And with Kiske singing, it's a wonder why it wasn't more popular. It's too...

I think the only replacement that could possibly work is Michael Kiske replacing Bruce. Any other replacements wouldn't work.

Musically, I think Walls of Jericho was really great. The guitar work was awesome. But the vocals really bring it down. I think Blind Guardian did a much better version of WoJ with their first couple albums. Speaking of Maiden, do you hear a Maiden influence on WoJ? Because I don't. I think...

I've been a big Helloween fan for awhile now, but mostly of the Deris era. I feel they've really mastered their sound, the classic Helloween power metal style with him. Straight out of Hell is classic Power Metal, just not fantasy based and prefer that. But I've never been a big fan of Walls of...

Have we got many Helloween fans here? I'm curious what people think of Keeper Legacy compared to the original two. Personally, I don't think it sounds much like a Keeper album. I think they should have saved King For 1000 Years for Gambling With The Devil and called that album the third Keeper.

Sword of Damocles and Walls of Valhalla may be the best songs Priest have ever written. Definitely looking forward to what they do next. Would love if they go more in the direction of those two songs.

I think the best power metal bands at the moment are Helloween and Edguy. They both have more then just the stereotypical power metal sound, in fact both bands have evolved from a classic PM sound into something much more. I'd love to get some suggestions for some power metal bands you think...

I think it's really cool that they're playing songs from Chinese Democracy. I didn't think they would with Slash. It's a great record. Are they just reuniting for a tour? Will they do a new album together? Because I wonder what this means for the newer GnR lineup Axl assembled. They were...

A lot of power metal bands are strongly influenced by Painkiller. Primal Fear and Gamma Ray being the first that come to mind. Ever hear Deliver Us by Helloween? That's gotta be one of the most awesome Priest/Painkiller influenced songs I've ever heard.

So what if they're not playing older stuff. The Astonishing is a concept album meant to be played live in its entirety. This is Dream Theater we're talking about.

I doubt we'll ever get another Awake, but I'd love them to return to something similar soon.

I also think there was some Maiden influence on a couple songs.

Would anyone else agree that Judas Priest has elements of power metal in their music? This can be said about alot of other classic metal bands like Priest, Maiden, Accept. I've been noticing it a lot in Priest's music lately. A lot of people say Painkiller was power metal/speed metal. I hear...

I love Gambling With The Devil. It's full of really classic Helloween style songs.

They're my favorite band because they have three guitarists who are all awesome and you can clearly hear each, they're not right upfront and hard to hear what's what. And they're all given their time to shine. My other favorite band, Helloween, has two very talented guitarists at present but...

But other then the songs being long, it's not much like DT at all.

What exactly did Steve Harris mean when he said Book of Souls was progressive like Dream Theater, like classic 70s prog? Because of I've always thought DT and reunion-era Maiden represented two different ends of the progressive rock/metal spectrum.

Sometimes listening to newer Iron Maiden I wish I could see some of the other big, classic (IMHO) metal bands evolve into something more like Maiden have. Priest attempted to with Nostradamus but people just didn't respond well. I often wish to see guys like Queensryche, stratovarious, or...

I was surprised when I learned that Seventh Son was based on a novel by Orson Scott Card, the first of which is called Seventh Son I believe. I don't know if the album is based on just the first book or the whole series, but if it's not I'd like to see them continue the story with an album based...
