Well I was at a friends yesterday, and listened to a good bit of a few bands.
Blind Guardian - I gave them a second chance. There were a few songs I'd say were "ok", but I just don't like the quality of their music. To me, it just seems "bad". So, you could say I really don't like them. Nightwish - Didn't care for them either. Cool symphonic parts, but if I want to listen to some Symphonic Metal, I'll go with Rhapsody or Symphony X. So ... not interested in those 2 anymore. I will have to check out some of the others you guys mentioned though. Can't say I've heard of most of them though.  |

I hate Bling Guaridan with a Passion  . My friend mitch had me listen to a CD of theirs and i was like sweet band. But after the 30 sec guitar intro is over, these horrible vocals come in and just take over ruining the song ERRRRR!!!!!!! soooooooooo bad.
And nightwish is really overrated, i give them credit for being cool, but their songs get old after a few listens there not composed to last for years on radio stations, not like how metallica songs are, there is never a time when i wouldnt love to hear a song of theirs. But back on Topic... I havent heard of either of these bands  . I really need a job and get some money  |

Burzum Galdalf Falconer Erik the Red Venom Sigh MANOWAR Immortal There are probably other bands that are slipping my mind right now. |

Originally posted by Jin I'd say the same for Iron Maiden. Powerslave was great, but other than that I really think Iron Maiden is quite overated ... they just didn't do it for me, like everyone else or something. They're just "ok" in my opinion. I have a lot of friends that are completely obsessed with them, no clue why. But yeah, I've seen Nightwish mentioned a lot here and there, but the same goes for Rhapsody and I was surprised. I guess I'll just have to check some of those out. |

Hey, the are in the genre and I actually like them... Xeo should at least give them a listen to see what he thinks.
Oh, and I forgot one. King Crimson, it's an older band, but they are really cool. |

I demand Nightwish be taken off the list.
I don't know what it is, I know SO many Nightwish fanboys and fangirls but I absolutely hate them. |

Well, since you are not that big a fan of Blind Guardian I don't know how much you would like the first two, but it's at least worth checking these out:
Iced Earth HammerFall In Flames (it's a stretch, but I think you would like The Quiet Place) Nightwish Dimmu Borgir (symphonic black metal) Iron Maiden Dream Evil Elvenking Manowar Nevermore DragonForce Demons & Wizards Bathory I personally have not listened to Bathory, but I do like all the others, and from what I heard Bathory is pretty cool as well. |

Ok, honestly I can't think of much now ... 
Stratovarius, a bit here and there. Symphony X (duh) Rhapsody Avantasia That's about it.
I think I checked out Holleween (is that how the bands spelled?) and didn't really like them that much. They were just linked from metalstorm.ee, from other bands under the "[Band] fans also liked: etc". Hopefully that made sense. |

*pokes you*
Meh, that is your thing. Now I am still waiting for that list. Yes, I was serious about that. |

You know, I am really tempted to make you list what bands you have heard that you consider symphonic so I know what to recommend. But yes, Rhapsody kicks teh major ass!
*waits for a random Blind Guardian thread* |

Originally posted by The Xeomega Yes, they have it torrentspy I'm downloading it now and theres like 5 other albums I dont have which I MUST GET!! |
| Xeoman Posts: 794/11757 |
I was looking over the list of albums Rhapsody has, and saw they had "Enchanted Lands II", will definently have to check that one out.  |
| Shinobi Posts: 28/104 |
Rhapsody is definately amazing the whole Symphony of Enchated Lands album is really amazing and every song is worth it I'm going to definately need to check out some of their other albums.
Avantsia and Kamelot on the other hand are awesome as well. Kamelot is more heavy than Avantasia and Avatnsia is more power symphonic but the album I downloaded for Avantasia they have one of the Edguy songs I have heard of so I wonder if they worked on that same song together. If that was the result they need to get together and do more because that songs is amazing. Does anybody else know any good power metal bands me and Xeo havent metioned yet. If so list them here and talk about their greatness. |

Well I've heard so much about this band called "Rhapsody" again, and again.
So ... I finally checked them out.
Honestly, I was blown away. Right now I only have there "Symphony of the Enchanted Lands" album, and I have to say they're easily becoming one of my all time favorite bands, if not thee favorite band of mine. Why I say they're better than Symphony X? Well, they seem to be compared a lot. Why, I'm not exactly sure, since you could say they're pretty different. Symphony X is more Symphonic Progressive, while Rhapsody is a little more on the heavy side, making them Symphonic Power. And for those of you who know me well, I'm a huge fan of Power Metal. (The fast stuff) Besides Rhapsody, I've also recently checked out Avantasia, also Symphonic Power (and extremely good), Therion, more instrumental (and I guess they'd be Death Metal if they sang more, since one of there songs has Death Metal singing), and Kamelot, which they're more just plain Power like Edguy and Gamma Ray. If you're clueless as to what I'm saying, just check this out. That is a list of the kind of stuff I like.
Even though I haven't heard the majority of those bands, I plan on it. |
