| You all need to listen to this band! It's called French Call. I heard "We Are One" and I just went XEO WOULD LOVE THIS!! XD I thought some people who like Power Metal would like this band as well. I was listening to them and I LOVED it.
We Are One Freedom Call(sample) Fairwell(sample) Ta da! I hope you'll like them Xeo!! Site i also found some stuff on. I thought you would like that too. (Last edited by True Flight on 07-25-05 08:49 PM) |

Ha. 
I definitely enjoy the music, but I really don't like the vocals at all (too high and whiney-ish for me). But yeah, good find. 
True: If you really enjoy this stuff, you should check out my Sonata Arctica thread, they're incredible. (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-26-05 05:11 PM) |

| Eww, ick no. These guys *shakes head* The vocalist wants to be like Bruce Dickinson/Bon Scott so badly, its insulting to them ick.
Im not likeing the drumming either, all his is just snare drum pounding and lots of bass drum smacking. No talent 
I agree with xeo his lyrics are whiny, i'd rather try to keep punk/alternative vocals away from metal if you know what i mean. *coughs* LinkinPark*Coughs* o, im sorry, bad cold today. XD
Spyware dissaproves of this Metal band. (Last edited by Spyware on 07-26-05 07:36 PM) |

| People insult Edguy like that, saying their singer wants to be Bruce Dickenson.
I really don't care, for one Edguy is so much better than Iron Maiden it's not even funny, and Tobias Sammet does his vocals awesomely. So yeah, True if you're wanting to get into Power Metal I can help you out. Sonata Arctica is pretty similar to these guys, so I'd think you'd like them. Edguy and Gamma Ray are good starters too, they're not extremely heavy, and they've got some good epic songs here and there. Rhapsody is by far the best band out there that combines Power Metal and Symphonic Elements into one, on top of that their vocals style is amazing, it's very much like listening to an upbeat heavy Opera, and I think it's just completely awesome. Not sure if you can handle it (heh, no offense intended ) but Dragonforce is really good in my book too. A lot of people don't like them though, because they say they're just your average Power Metal band, I really wouldn't say that. They are by far probably the fastest band I've ever heard, their vocals are incredible (DarkSlaya disagrees, so it just depends on you I guess), and their solo's are great, as long as you can handle 2-4 minutes of that stuff.
I probably have all my songs still uploaded, so you can go back to my Edguy, Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, etc, threads and the songs will probably still be available to download. Edit: Don't forget, metalstorm.ee really is an excellent reference. (You mention Power Metal and look what it does to me. :LOL  (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-26-05 07:46 PM) |

I'd have to Agree, Edguy is better then Iron Maiden  ive listend to them a little bit more since you first posted a few of there songs. But then you cant really compare them, there sounds come from completely different Decades, but there base is stillt he same as iron maiden.
Still great bands though (is now a Rhapsody whore...) |

| I told you Rhapsody was good.
True and others: You can just go here to my download folder and download the songs. Sorry it's not too organized.
Mysteria, The Piper Never Dies, We Don't Need a Hero, Under the Moon, Navigator, and all the "Track" songs are from Edguy. The other tracks with numbers before them are Dragonforce. The .mpc files are Sonata Arctica (you'll need the plugin to play them, for winamp). And then there's Stratovarius songs. I thought I uploaded some Rhapsody before. 
I'll upload Eternal Sword right now (one of the best songs ever). Edit: Ah, some of the Track songs are Rhapsody. Between Edguy and Rhapsody you can easily tell a difference.
Track 2 is Eternal Sword. One of my favorite songs ever.  (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-26-05 07:53 PM) |

Originally posted by Strange Deja Vu Well I won't say much, I just think Iron Maiden is one of the most overated bands ever (so many people wear their shirts at school, it gets old). Powerslave was the ONLY album I liked by them. The others were just boring, and the ones without Bruce Dickenson ... ugh, horrible. As for Power Metal, I'd have to say that I find Blind Guardian to be the holy grail of an overated Power Metal band. Their vocals are so high pitched it hurts, and their music isn't even that great if you ask me. I've given them so many tries, but I just really don't like them at all. Disclaimer: My opinions!

| Heh, that all schools I went, metal was always underrated.
And it's not like I'm saying Iron Maiden is the best band ever (there's lots of songs I dislike by them, but stuff like Wrathchild, Phantom of the Opera (after the solo = gold), Aces High, Flight of Icarus, Hollowed Be Thy Name.....) As for Edguy's vocals sounding like Bruce's.... Some people smoked too much weed. As for the current topic.... well I didn't like it that much. I agree with everyone... the volcals... ugh. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Yeah, well I came off here sounding like I hate Iron Maiden. Honestly I think they're a fine band, but nothing special and nothing I'd really listen to on my own. So yeah, didn't mean to make it sound like I hated them (the ones without Bruce though, ugh, seriously those vocals just kill the entire albums).
And yeah, Tobias does not sound like Bruce. (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-27-05 02:58 PM) |

| Never really knew I had the tastes for power metal until I listened to this. I thought there's gotta be something better out there after you all said that... Like that one band that Xeo listens to a lot and commanded everyone to dl the songs. XD |

| Well I looked into it and I think they're "Freedom Call" and not "French Call".
Check it out. Really this bands not that bad in my opinion, just not much of a fan for the vocals. Man I really need to get Dragonforce - Valley Of The Damned, I think Sonic Firestorm is so good but I've heard VoTD is even better.  (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-28-05 02:11 PM) |

| [Double post power]
Well I FINALLY got Valley of the Damned. So far, I'm impressed. My only complaint is the quality that I got it in, it sounds live ... but not really at the same time. This is the first song on the album (the first track is just an intro), the opening sequence to this song just rocks. Valley of the Damned I don't think I like this album as much as Sonic Firestorm, but it still seems really good. |

| But still no power metal band can ever beat Pantera. As the best Power metal band ever.
Sure all these symphonic/power metal bands are nice, but there not pantera. True, you cant say you like powermetal until you love pantera.
(Im just messing with you, but pantera is the base of powermetal, they kinda set the tone/style for a while) (Last edited by Spyware on 07-29-05 03:30 AM) |

Originally posted by Spyware Agreed ... even though I have yet to hear any of Pantera. *is shot*
I've just heard a lot about them, and I know they're pretty old, and are Power Metal. Actually didn't you send me a song once before? Hmm, seems MetalStorm says they're Thrash. Meh, Thrash and Power Metal go together like cheese and meat if you ask me. Power Metal basically IS Thrash, only maybe with a side of faster drumming, and cheesy lyrics / melodies and symphonies. At least how I look at it. (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-29-05 03:35 AM) |

| Metal storm messes up a lot of things.
There actually kinda both stylings...They were all power metal pretty much up until Reinventing the steel (which is ok, not one of there better albums...) that was thrash. But anyways. There not as old as a lot of other metal bands but they have been major since 1990 with there first real album. They did some stuff in the late 80s but idk if that was the pantera we have now, or just some of the members. (pre dimebag, and his brother dunno his name, but he does the drumming)
Xeo, i have 3 of their albums, maybe i could lend you the file and you can upload it, or is that legal trouble wishing to start?  |

| Nah, I mean I've uploaded songs myself.
But man, I just googled "metal definitions" and got this. Now no offense, but that's just stupid. (the page, sure there's different kinds of metal styles out there, but THAT is just dragging it out)
Found this info at wikipedia though, honestly a lot of that sounds pretty true. I just still don't see how people call Iron Maiden Power Metal, they're heavy and "kind of" fast, but for Power Metal? ... I guess I can see how they kind of started the movement, but yeah. Very true that Power Metal seems to be refered to as a European style, that I can highly agree with that. (Last edited by Xeolord on 07-29-05 03:46 AM) |

| Weird page....but its neat though too.
I hate how every band thinks there sound trend setters and make there own dumb geners. like many of those on that site are...ugh this is how those stupid sub genere of "core" sound started  like metalcore...punkcore etc....
Iron maiden is like "general metal" they kinda hit on every genere a little bit but i dont think you could really tie them down specifaclly to one. So was that yes, to me sending you some files next time your on AIM?  |
