Re: Gamma Ray - To The Metal..... (released).
Gamma Ray never changes. That's why I give them a 5/5. Oh, and it's good to know that Kiske was involved, too. 8) Yup. A good solution from Kai anyway... :) "Yeah well that chorus really wasn't for my voice so I called someone who agreed to sing it." I actually laughed out loud when Kai added somet...

Re: Masterplan
I actually just realized that this is the first time there will be only Roland's songs, isn't it? At least Masterplan was Uli's song, Roland just bought the rights from him after they split... :( Now, is anyone else but Roland composing? Not that I know of. He better succeed very well. Though Jorn a...

Re: Gamma Ray - To The Metal..... (released).
It was huge that after a big slump, Gamma Ray and Freedom Call suddenly put out the two best power metal albums after The Metal Operas! And that's saying something! Shadowking is by far the most eclectic and best FC album - just Bay's singing is on completely new level, not to mention songwriting. A...

Re: Avantasia - Dying for an Angel leaked
i have never heard bon jovi use keyboard like this song uses keyboard. People just refer to Bon Jovi because these kind of songs bring their style of making music into their minds. The same happens to me. No-one said the keyboard was Bon Jovish. I actually almost wrote about the playing being succe...

Re: Avantasia - Dying for an Angel leaked
Well, it isn't anything spectacular... For some reason, though, I like it. o.O I take that song as a tribute to Scorpions more than your basic boring Edguy hard rocker. Either way, Klaus's voice fits the song very greatly. Also the sounds of instruments, effects and the atmosphere are somewhat there...

Re: Ride like the wind
How about putting up a release of non-Tolkki non-album tracks that people basically haven't heard if they haven't bought all the album versions available, been extra active on YouTube or downloaded the complete discography from the internet if you ever have spare time again? :/

Re: Blind Guardian
Best BG albums yet for me: Imaginations from the Other Side: one of the best albums of all times. Nightfall in Middle-Earth: powerfull, epic, vast... Agreed! Though I also love Somewhere Far Beyond just as much. This sums it up for me, too. :) Imaginations is quite possibly on my top 5 albums ever.

Got mine yesterday! Did the release date get earlier or did they just send the album two days prior to release instead of te usual one day? All I can say is, quality Gamma Ray. Every song rules some way on this one. The album is eclectic for a Gamma Ray one, and once again every musician's had cryst...

Re: Babylon and Jörg Michael
Also that tempo ain't so hard for a drummer as good as Jörg, so actually it's a VERY bad miss from him or it's intentional, as I strongly believe it is. It would be harder to find the tempo again after an accidental early hit anyway, so, it must be intentional?

Re: What do you expect for the next album?
I think TK did some good job on Polaris but he could still improve on it a lot and Also one thing I would like to hear is better vocal melodies. Not that there was anything wrong in them but They weren't as good as they could have been. They were recycled ideas, used in the old songs. I've always t...

I noticed it on the first time and pay notice to it every time I listen to that song. I've also spoken about it with some of my friends, some of those being musicians. Everyone agrees with me that that early snare hit is there just to spice things up. That couldn't have gone unnoticed in the studio,...

I also recognize the bombastic feel of ANatO but don't think it's the best Guardian album... the three released just before that are. ^^ Anyway, looking very much forward to the new one,...

Re: Scorpions Farewell "We have reached the end of the road
Too bad. They have been able to make good albums lately again.
Although I love them from the metal-pioneering early works to the ballad-90s and beyond. ^^ Great if they still can have a quality long tour and happily retire after that, and an album that I hope will be good.
