Not all classical does it for me but I'm probably vastly undereducated. :( I'd have to say Moonlight Sonata is my favorite and then Beethovens ninth. I can't get decent Jazz in this town. :mad: I have along way to go but I think I got a solid base. :)

Is anyone hear a big power-metal fan.?

If so raise your sword in air!

Elaborate on power metal for me. :confused:

I dunno about that.....

Dragonforce is pretty damn cheesy and they do sing about dragons and swords(at least on Valley Of The Damned).

But I guess you could call it speedmetal.....

Helloween, Hammerfall, Stratovarius, Adagio, Nevermore, Nighwish, Iced Earth, Manowar, Iron Savior, Savatage... just to name a few. Its mostly European metal branched off from classical metal like Iron Maiden, and Preist.

From Wikipedia:
"Power metal, as the term is used today, places primary importance on an epic sound, usually at high speeds and with catchy melodies. Whereas most rock lyrics focus largely on "the real world" - personal experience, historical incidents, social commentary, etc. - power metal often treats cosmological or metaphysical themes. Many power metal songs draw inspiration from science fiction, mythology, and fantasy, and they tend to be more optimistic than most metal lyrics. Power metal vocals are generally "clean", as opposed to the growling vocals that characterise death metal, and are delivered by a trained vocalist. Following in the tradition of Bruce Dickinson and Rob Halford, power metal vocalists tend to sing in a high register like the Bee Gees, often in falsetto. Some singers, such as Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian, record multi-layered vocals reminiscent of Queen. Because of the primary importance of vocals in power metal, vocalists generally do not double as guitarists as in other styles of metal, which is probably why Hansi Kürsch stepped down as bassist for Blind Guardian after their album "The Forgotten Tales".

Power metal guitarists and bassists generally play rapid streams of notes, but change chords comparatively slowly, with a harmonic tempo of once per measure or slower. Fast and demanding guitar solos, however, are almost guaranteed.

Power metal drummers generally play with two bass drums for added speed, often playing a constant stream of sixteenth notes with snare drum accents on the beat. Some bands defy this formula, but it is surprisingly universal.

Many bands also play with a keyboardist and a few, such as the Italian band Rhapsody, have been known to record with more symphonic elements. Rhapsody actually calls their style of music "Hollywood Metal," emphasizing its resemblance to modern film scores.

This style is most popular in Europe, Japan, and some countries of South America (including Brazil and Argentina), and has a growing popularity in certain parts of North America."

BTW Jolly? did you copy your list from the back of Ernie Ball string packages? ;)

Indeed.....by that definition, yeah, go power metal. :cool:

"... power metal vocalists tend to sing in a high register like the Bee Gees, often in falsetto...."

My age is showing. Based on that part of the description, I think I would piss myself laughing if I heard any of this stuff.... I picture "Stayin' Alive" with power chords and high-speed arpeggios.... hahahahahahahaaaa. :o

edit: should really elaborate. dragonforce are a bunch of drunk metal fans (fantastic guitarists!) who sing about swords and dragons. its all fast, all good fun and i'm just building up my suit of armour for they're leeds gig at the end of the month :D

the joke of powermetal is the best part :D

it makes you want to dress up in shiny armor and makes you belive your guitar is a sword.

Hmmm...Favourite bands for me (in no mparticular order):
Devildriver, Arch Enemy(Cool German chick!!!), Avenged Sevenfold (Before City of Evil), Disturbed, Elvis Presley (lol), Evergreen Terrace, Faith No More, HIM, Watchmaker, Ill Nino, My Chemical Romance, Rammstien, Helloween, Psychocroptic, Shihad (woo New Zealand!), System of a Down, the occasional Trapt, ACDC, A Perfect Circle, Behemoth, Nasum, Napalm Death, Rise Against, Seether, Murderdolls (killing numetal lol), Korn, and finally Marilyn Manson.

I'm not too sure what Genres these bands are, except numetal, but I like most of them. The numetal's there for no particular reason.

And just in case someone says 'Where is the Slipknot?', I stopped listening to them a long time ago. That stuff made me depressed.
