Powermetal
Are you also fed up with people discribing powermetalcrap as "real" heavy metal. Have you ever thought to yourself that bands like Majesty, Kamelot, Nevermore or 3 Inches Of Blood sound nothing like the hardrock music of the 70s/80s. Well congratulations because you are TOTALLY RIGHT!! All that powermetal stuff doesn't sound remotely like genuine heavy metal. Bands like Blind Guardian, Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Jag Panzer, Avantasia and Lost Horizon have absolutly nothing in common with the heavy rock of the eighties. Oldfashioned heavy metal? You must be kidding. Powermetal is pure 21st century music and just as modern sounding as NU-metal, emocore, trance and all those trendy wussbands like White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, and Jet. Powermetal is the complete antithesis of the hardrock of the past. It's overblown, shallow, brainless, cheesy, faceless music totally devoid of any emotion, passion, humour, originality and authenticity. With other words, it's complete kitsch! That's not how heavy metal was intended! Hardrock has always been a style that in its very essence has been about keeping things simple and being straight to the point where bombastic arrangements, artificial virtuosity, unnecessery tempochanges and wimpy fairytale lyrics have no place. Powermetal doesn't sound agressive, loud or raunchy at all. PM bands may have thick compresed guitars and typical annoying double-bass thumping but they miss that vital rock n roll power that real HM-bands like Raven, Deep Purple, Y&T, Saxon or Sammy Hagar had even though those bands had a guitarsound that sounded like it was made of cardboard and they didnt dress up like knights or vikings and all that corny stuff.
Its not only a musical problem but also a social one. Powermetal is after all the ultimate nerdmusic. Which unfortunatly attracts all these losers that enjoy playing World of Warcraft, go to fantasy-fairs or dress up like vikings. Its not hard to imagine all the stereotypical stuff like longsleeves, thor's hammer necklaces, alchemy jewelry or black and white armytrousers that go along with all that stuff. Exactly the kind of people who would have never listened to hardrock music in the past. This has had the unfortunate result that heavy metal has gained an unwanted nerd-image much to the amusement of indie/hipsters who like to give the impression that hardrockers are insecure dorks who they can make fun off. Offcourse this could not be further from the truth because hardrockers used to be cool and fast guys like Joe Lyn Turner and Biff Byford who got all the chicks. Powermetal is offcourse very a-sexual music that just totally lacks the machojock feel that heavy rock used to have. But dont forget that powermetal has been invented by punks to give heavy metal a nerdy image. Dont be fooled by it! But to be very honoust I'm getting a bit fed up with this music and all those overblown bands like Iced Earth, Trivium or Gamma Ray. I will go a step further and tell you that i've come to the ultimate conclusion that powermetal must be TOTALLY DESTROYED!! Every axe, every sword, every knights costume, every ringbeard, all those squealing idiots and all those r.p.g. playing retardfans must in the name of everybody who likes heavy metal for the right reasons be completly annihilated! So to everyone who still thinks powermetal is real heavy metal I will strongly urge you to listen to bands like Accept, Diamond Head, AC/DC, Foreigner, Rush, 220 Volt, Motörhead, Ratt, Tokyo Blade, Dust, Molly Hatchet etc. You will surely come to the conclusion that bands like Dream Theater, Iron Saviour, Virgin Steel or Tad Morose have absolutly nothing to do with genuine heavy rock. But hey, people who like powermetal probably dont know all those authentic bands.

ta pesma je velika ritmička glavolomka, jako je dobra za učenje gitare.
