I think that US Power Metal was invented as a term, because you really can't say that Jag Panzer and Slayer are
both thrash metal. You also can't say that Jag Panzer and Sonata Arctica are both power metal. You see my point?

Yes.

You're right, I made a mistake.

Well, not really. I can imagine that many people call Helloween happy metal. I just think some old songs like Save Us and March of Time are less happy. And there are more. :)

I should've noted that only their albums with Kiske fit the category.

Well, I think their later work is power metal as well, it's still a mix of some happier (or sillier/cheesier) songs and less happy work (though The Dark Ride hardly has any happy moments hehe!).

Haven't heard this band yet. Check out Savage Circus, Piet and Yenz are members of that band.
I do agree :)

Funny you mention Savage Circus. I haven't heard their music yet but Thomen "The Omen" Stauch played on the first Iron Savior (same titled) album.  :ok:
 
First Savage Circus album is like a long lost Blind Guardian album. The singer sounds almost exactly the same as Hansi.
I wanted to make an experiment - find someone who loves Blind Guardian, but has never heard of Savage Circus, then give him/her that Savage Circus album disguised as "unreleased Blind Guardian album" and see if he/she sees the difference. I still can't find the right person :)
 
I think that band was surrected because Stauch didn't like the direction BG were taking. So that's why it sounds so much like old(er) school BG. :)

Yes. But Thomen was later fired because he didn't show up on any live show for 2 years. They recorded a new album without him, with Mike Terrana replacing him. Haven't heard it yet.
 
I thought he left BG before SCircus started but I might have remembered it wrong.
edit: ah you mean he was fired from SCircus. I also remember he had an arm injury or something.

Bah, (apart from Travis who clicked on a link) not a  single comment on my little power metal essay.
Must have been good. ;)

Welcome to the club. I start plenty of threads and make serious post which I think deserve a comment here or there and well... nothing.  It was good, I didn't feel a need to comment as it surmized things rather well. I disagree in your assessment of Dio not being power metal, but at this point we are all beating a dead horse.
 
not too many posts on this thread today. Or I just missed all of them. Woke up at 12:00 PM today. Missed half the day. :down:
I have a new new years resolution, I'm gonna learn Alexander the Great on guitar. Can't find a good tab so I'm gonna learn it by ear. Should keep me busy for awhile.
 
I've been having annoying chest, neck and jaw pains since yesterday night. I think I'll go see a doctor.

To be pedantic about this, England will never play Wales at cricket (Scotland and Ireland yes, but not Wales). Reason being - the England cricket team is called (in full): The England and Wales cricket team. :D
 
The cricket board that England represent is the England and Wales cricket board. It may be down to the fact that in reality, Wales is a principality rather than a country, though I'm not overly sure on history of it.
