As I sit here and listen to most likely the greatest band of all time I notice that there isn't a topic for them, so I decided to make one. Manowar are a band that you must love, and if you don't, you're gay. Haha, seriously though. They make some wicked music, though pompous, they deserve to be, I mean, they are the KINGS OF METAL. I do enjoy their upbeat attitude, killer riffing, and Eric Adams god like vocals. Very manly. I would call them Heavy Metal (or moreover, Traditional Metal) than anything, but they do have some Speed and Power Metal tendencies every now and then. Any fans?

And remember kids, while other bands play - Manowar kill.

I doubt that he fwould change anything just because fans wants that, they actually had choirs on their first releases. but they gavve up from that, later they used orchestra (altough it is oall played on keyboards) on Warriors Of The World, but in only small dozes.. About their touch with their fans, it is probably truth, they give free bike on almost all bigger shows lol

Manowar...I've never liked them.Well,okay-there are some songs which I like,but they're only a few.I just can't stand most of their stuff,and that's why I can't bear to listen to their whole discography.

"The Kings Of Metal"-hahaha.

I've never said that I was a"true metal fan".And I don't listen that much to heavy,neither to thrash metal and such stuff.

But everyone has its own opinion.

Metal is not a joking matter, you too can leave the hall Aronax, and you're obviously not worthy of the 'Of Steel' attached to your name! Joey will tell Thor to smite you with his mighty hammer, as he calls to Odin for a sign. I'm joking of course, and to Elodie Artour as well. Though don't tell Joey please...

Did anyone catch Joey's interview in MetalHammer UK? I don't usually read that magazine, but I saw Manowar written on the cover and decided to read that interview in a newsagent, it turned out to be one of the funnier things that I've read this year.

@Lowelas: It's pretty much Metalhammer whinging that Manowar haven't been to the UK in ages, and Joey saying that Manowar will come soon to rectify this problem since it's not right for true metal people to be subjected to posers playing gigs all the time. He also says a lot about 'Gods of War' being great and how it's a tribute to the Norse gods, and how the grandiose compositions are tributes to 'the father of Metal, Richard Wagner', you get the picture. Pretty much like all other Manowar interviews. They discuss equipment (you know well that Manowar are the loudest band in the world), and the history of the band as well.

About the live album, yes it's being released on the 6th of July I believe.

Exactly, sure they dont change very much, but can you picture them doing anything but what there doing? Can you picture them playing prog? Or singing about any but fighting for metal, being a metal warrior or uniting with your metal brethren to fight an anonymous enemy?

lol yes I know I love these guys, and their content is not 'played out' but simply keeping it 'old-school'


...........hmmmm but now that I think ov it, I've heard that they were accused ov selling out with their "Fighting The World" album though. But I dunno...........They still never really went full on Glam [like how Celtic Frost did].

Well, I know one gay who is gay and he listen to Therion, Nightwish, Epica... does it means that they are all gay?lol And probably the most popular metal bands among gays is Sonata Artica here lol

@Dr.Rock - But I noticed nothing glam in that album, try, who knows, maybe you find something, I saw you like glam lol maybe one or two songs are something totally different but that doesn't look or sound like glam to me (Carry On, Defender (awesome song), Fighting The World and AC/DC Blow Your speakers)

I'm kinda sad now, but I was searching for some Manowar and Mayhem (to compare them) quotes for about 2 months! And when I finally got some good material, I was about to post it somewhere.... my friends deletes it.... =(

No I was not going to compare their music, but their ignorance =D Its so funny to see how similar both bands are when they talk about "true metal" lol
