Pretty cool song. Definitely some Megadeth influence there. Those kids all look 12 too.

Sounded more like Motley Crue to me

Say what? They sounded like 80s British Metal, a bit of Saxon with a dash of Maiden and a dollup of Priest. And they're like 14-16. They opened for Avenge Sevenfold and mopped the floor with them. I think that in itself is awesome.

I agree it's awesome that kids are trying to make music like that..I just hear more US metal than NWOBHM in that...it reminded me of a Crue song....whatever it's stil teh metalz

Well that isn't too hard to do.

Well, that notwithstanding, I love the idea of teenagers owning the headliner.

They are pretty cool. Its good to hear someone actually sing and not sound like cookie monster taking a shit with a case of bad hemroids.

Agreed.

We need a new generation of actual singers.

I really hope the new blood will bring singing back too. The growl vocal has so run it's course.

Guess you guys don't listen to any power metal. Pretty much all clean singing. Tons of bands like that, most people just aren't familiar with them.

The world needs more power metal, list some bands and albums..that I can leec...oops I meant buy

FWIW I think Nightfall in Middle Earth is over-rated tho'

Sonata Arctica
Dragonland
Blind Guardian
Stratovarius
Dream Evil
Firewind
Raintime
Symphony X
Mercenary
Into Eternity
CJ Grimmark
Narnia
Evergrey

That's just some bands off the top of my head. Should keep you busy for a while.

Out of that list...I've already tried the following:

Dream Evil - ugh, cliche..horrible
Symphony X - not a fan of guitar tone or singing
Evergrey - got a couple of songs, recommend me a good CD
Stratovarius - love the DIO cover they did, name a good CD
Blind Guardian - only done Nightfall which I didn't like but I loved their Dio cover

I'll have to work on the others....am looking for something up there with early Helloween of course

Dream Evil is awesome! They're supposed to be cliche and cheesy.

For Evergrey, all their CD's are cool except the newest one. My favorites are Solitude Dominance Tragedy, The Inner Circle, and In Search Of Truth. Stratovarius has a ton of great albums. Episode, Visions, Dreamspace, Fright Night (Tolkki is on vocals for that one), Destiny, Fourth Dimension. All good albums. Can't believe you didn't like Nightfall, that's one of my favorite albums ever.

 

[Skirmish]

Great stuff! Pretty much "standard" but very good songwriting!

 

[WarriorOfMetal]

mark, you're seriously recommending Narnia? horribly cheesy (and not in the good way) lame fucking awful christian shits.

for Dragonland, check out the album Astronomy, it's a little heavier than the older stuff (at least from what i've heard of the older stuff)
