European Power Metal

[JusticeDude]

Helloween, Edguy, Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Dio, Luca Turilli, and Sonata Arctica would be my picks. Any stuff of theirs would make me seriously happy.

Dragonforce is fun and all, but kind of makes my fingers hurt.

And of course, you can never have too much Iron Maiden.

Lordi would be good too.

I would be in favor of some Blind Guardian.

[SugarBear]

What is Nightwish considered?

I think Drumming their stuff would be a blast, not so much singing, guitars would be good too.

Manowar

TAD MOROSE!

Even some Brainstorm.

Helloween, Manowar, Blind Guardian for sure.

What about the US Scene? Iced Earth and Jag Panzer (w/ Chris Broderick now of Megadeth -- one of the best guitarists ever) need some recognition.

[DeathShrike]

Is Tad Morose still around? Wow. Gamma Ray, people. Gamma Ray. "Rebellion In Dreamland" y'all. "Rebellion in Dreamland"

I'm not sure. But I saw them at PowerFest and ProgPower about 4 years ago and they were amazing.

I'd buy any DLC including all the above bands (although Dio and Manowar aren't European) so what songs?

Ride the Sky AND Mr Torture from Helloween
Headless Game from Edguy
Last Drop Falls from Sonata Arctica
And Then there was Silence (15 minute songs FTArthritis) Blind Guardian
And for the guy with achy fingers - Holy Thunderforce by Rhapsody.

[Methshin117]

no thanks on the Ramma *** or the Manowar (aka, worst metal band evar!) I will take a double serving of iced earth however.


btw, And then there was silence is the ****.

I LOL'd :D

I'd also buy it ;)

Quit with all the Manowar hate too... you know they'd be hellish fun to play. All the bands in this thread would be a blast.

[Forks]

I would agree with edguy the most out of alllll of the bands listed, because I think their album Rocket Ride probably has some awesome bandy songs, regardless of the relentlessly simple drums they tend to use.

[Onslaught_fei]

Anything power metal. I love me some Manowar. How can you not like songs like "The Gods Made Heavy Metal" or "Call to Arms".

Im down with Blind Guardian, Luca Turilli, Rhapsody of Fire, Demons & Wizards, Stratovarious, Kamelot, Sonata Artica, Hammerfall, Gamma Ray, Helloween, Powerwolf, Rage, Iced Earth, Avantasia, Symphony X.... THE LIST GOES ON!
