I rememeber back in 1988 I was taking guitar lessons from Mike Flyntz when he got the gig with Riot. It was cool, he was like man I am about to go on a world tour...
Power metal is missing the elements it had back then. It could be progressive such as Fates Warning, Crimson Glory and it could be a mix of heavy and thrash and even heavy and melodic without being slick and poppy.
@krevice This is power metal. What would you have expect? Old Riot was heavy metal before the line-up change when Tony Moore, the drummer and the bassist joined the band which led them into the mainstream with Thundersteel. Probably the most mainstream power metal album from the states.
@TheGoldenPS1 then this is a example of the bands name should have been changed. i know that is a gray area but i think in this case it might apply. i hate that you said"what do you expect" at my description of the bands music. does all power metal have to be so generic? i saw this line up in a small club on long island years ago
@TheGoldenPS1 dude thank you so much. we had a disagreement without resorting to insults and name calling. genuinely refreshing and your right, maybe not my favorite genre but i saw this line up as i told you. i saw fates warning as a THIRD on the bill opening for anthrax(1st post turbin show) and cities. saw sanctuary tour for both of their albums and would love to see those bands again
@masterpatric07 hahahahaha neandertal apes!!!! hahahahahahaha there're still some good singers, also young ones. especially in the states. In europe meanwhile i often think there only exist a handfull of singers and bands exchange them.
if tony can still his high notes thenn we are talking of the best band of this time!!!to sho the actual bands who is the king of metal!!!and it is not manowar!!!!!
One of the greatest lineups in metal history!! Awesome band. Saw them on the Thundersteel tour in Wash DC (The Bayou) and it was one of the greatest concerts ever. Tony Moore was superb live, as was the rest of the band.

@gurubhai01 Power/speed metal is what it is. Half heavy and half power sounds like bands like Virgin Steele and Damien.

@krevice A lot better than today's most melodic power metal bands. Looking at today's standard for power metal it's too slick and melodic.
