I can't stand metal... (no offense)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

GN'R could be considered heavy metal or hair metal, your saying you dont like them?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

they're neither hair metal nor heavy metal, their Rock or Hard Rock.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Some would disagree.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Guns N' Roses music is...

Guns N Roses Style: Album Rock; Hard Rock; Heavy Metal; Glam Metal; Glam Rock.

Metal is another Rock sub-genre, like Punk or Hardcore, its just and style if you want a gnr Heavy Metal song listen to Don't Cry.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No GnR are defantly NOT Metal.

And Hair/Glam Metal is actully not Metal.

Metal is written in the Minor scales, and contains dark or folklore lyrics.

Rock is written in the Major scales, and contain lyrics that are about people.

Hair Metal and GnR were written in the Major scales, they are blues dominate.

What exactly defines a "Power Metal" band?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Power metal bands feature fantasy or science fiction themes, and are often characterised by falsetto vocals.

So Helloween has their keeper of seven keys fanstasy, Dragonforce has the valley of the damned and Rhapsody has land of immortals etc. etc. You can usually tell by titles of songs too lol. They usually have strong vocals and intense and rich instrumentals....usually with melodic and fast guitar riffs now and again.

Helloween

Blind Guardian (met them at my friends record store before the Chicago show. They did a signing and were all very nice)

Angra

Shaaman

Dragonforce (Helloween on steroids)

Gamma Ray

Nightwish

Dark Moor

Edenbridge

Demons and Wizards

Stormwarrior

Running Wild

All these bands owe quite a bit to Iron Maiden who in my opinion were one of the first power metal bands along with Judas Priest.

Thanks :D I like those bands too, and you are right about Manowar, they Rock but they are Heavy Metal... I guess. I always listen to Brothers Of Metal and The Gods Made Heavy Metal. Those songs are the greatest they've made!

Some ppl call Maiden and Priest "Proto-Power".
