the best power metal bands (pt1)

[vikingfromchile]

WHYNOT DRAGONFORCE? answer me!!!

[HammerFall8625]

see pt 1? perhaps they're there.

[sXeKenneth]

dragonforce is only popular because of guitar hero their ok but no where near the best and they dont deserve their popularity

[DarthKnightmare]

Nice list dude.

[stratodan1990]

galneryus are awesome

[zhopenza]

Good list, power metal is the only real music.

[Wyndrax]

Indeed, my friend.

[Rhizomio]

Thanks for the vid. A few bands who come accross like Iron Maiden clones post Di'Anno, I can't bare that Bruce Dickheadinson-like caterwalling. And hey, cheer up, Dragonforce are gas-fire-good.

[string193]

sorry, dude but dragonforce is nothing without autoenhancment.

if you could hear them without it you would never speak of them again.

[eddx11]

Im gunna start my own power metal band thanks to this lmao

[eddx11]

FIREWIND sounds cool =D

[TheMetalCollector]

All power metal new and old is awsome if you ask me.

Blind Guardian's album "Follow The Blind" is a great example of old-school power metal, and that was released in 1988. While power metal bands like Edguy and Nightwish are new and at the same time, amazing!

[Manowar4lyf]

As soon as I saw Firewind, Hammerfall, Kamelot and Edguy you instantly earned my respect.

One of my favourite Firewind songs ever!!!

[skateboarder585]

god damn these bands suck major ass!

anything past 1992 sucks really bad

[Wyndrax]

Rhapsody kicks all the other bands' asses. Even Blind Guardian can't compare to them.

[zhopenza]

Rhapsody is decent. And it's very easy to pick out bad songs from them... same goes for Luca Turilli... some songs I am speechless but others just SUCK.

[Wyndrax]

I don't think they have "bad" songs. Some are just.. average.

[akiskapouros]

in wich minute is the ballads?....

[125gfhdjs]

Although I like power metal, I didn't know many bands and that's why I heard this video..Many bands sound so interesting!

[Metaluis90]

then I invite you to watch my "Awesome Power Metal Bands" videos, many, many more unknown/underrated power metal bands!!

[thecydonianknight314]

WTF wheres Dragonforce?

[mrccronic]

if youve seen them live you wouldnt be asking that auestion theyre horrible

[lostPhantom666]

nightwhish is great

[scamboogeryjohn]

you have excellent taste my friend... anyone who like nightwish, blind guardian, and edguy is a friend of mine.  and you introduced some great bands... thanks dude

[salamence712]

wtf not stratovarius?? good list but get stratovarius on the list!! but u got some good bands there

[Metaluis90]

this is the first part, check out the second one pls ;)

[6459896]

nightwish esta culerillo wey no lo hubieras puesto, pero en si muy buenas rolas y grupos carnal

[symphonyblood]

no sabes de musica culerillo sabes cuantos intrumentos ocuparon para producir ese disco....

[dragonmaster754]

Evryone who doesn't like dragonforce should go fuck a goat imo.

[befeared00]

only reason y dragon force sucks is couse there vocals kills it everything else is really good

[zoltut]

Dragonforce sux.... ty for not putting it in here!

[giiykyheeb]

Why is everyone always so negative towards Dragonforce? I think they're the best thing to come out of power metal and i've been a power metal fan since the days of stratovarius in the 80's. Is it jealousy of Dragonforce's supreme talent? or their launch into stardom? I think that being fans of this epic genre you should feel proud that they are bringing popularity and attracting new fans to the power metal scene. Other than the negativity towards DragonForce, this was a great Vid.

[Metaluis90]

It isn't nothing about jealousy or anything, is just that I dont like them; I didnt like them before their suddendly popularity, nor after it. It just I think that they are a average power metal band, just that...and about the negative thing, I put it because a LOT of people ask for them, so if they are looking for them in this vid, I advise them that they wont find Dragonforce here

[00Blaze]

what is the song in Fire Wind

[AngelNegroMetal]

ohhhhhhhhhhh gamma. thks for putting them in :D

[nixxxon18]

Zonata, Freternia and Fairyland are there...., and you forgot for example Dark Moor, Dragonforce or Grave Digger????

This vid is a failure

[Metaluis90]

like you

[lillis71]

HammerFall Own!!!

[dothedamher]

To legovideoman, get the fuck out you Idiotic piece of shit. DF isn't even power metal.

Its fucking pop music with computer enhanced guitar thrown in for fun.

Wheres angra? Theyre awesome!

Good list though.

[Metaluis90]

This is first part man, watch the second one ;)

[giiykyheeb]

DragonForce are Power Metal. I hate all you fuckwits who think DF are frauds. Fuck you. Die! Die Now you fuck.

PS: Drop dead

[LegoVideoMan]

GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE 80's AND PUT DRAGONFORCE ON THE LIST YOU FUCKWIT

[strupern07]

dragonforce make me wanna puke on your little guitar hero disk

[vpazmadrid]

gamma ray the father of power metal!!! debería ser la numero 1.

[k0stiss]

Kai Hansen is the father of power metal not Gamma Ray.

[k0stiss]

Gamma Ray FTW!!

[Cecilia1981]

Donde estás Carry On de la banda brasileña Angra?

:)

Carry On !! Carry On!!!

[Metaluis90]

Angra esta en el segundo video, pero con la cancion de "Temple of Hate", que me gusta mas.... =)

[marianneootjers]

I love the bands aswell as the songs but one there is one thing I find confusing; Nightwish is a symphonic metal band, and when Tarja was still with them symphonic opera metal..not power metal. I love Nightwish so I found this a little bit confusing :)

[Metaluis90]

is a symphonic power metal band, it depends on how you classifie every band...some people says that Nightwish is a gothic metal band, another symphonic metal band or a combination of both, I say that is a symphonic power metal band because they have a lot of elements of power metal. Listen to their album of "Wishmaster" it got a LOT of power metal. thx 4 watching :)

[marianneootjers]

Now you mention it, I can only say that you're right...Whismaster is indeed power metal ;) Just like Nightquest. Thanks for telling xD No longer confused :P

[vanemoon]

Awesome video!!! I love the bands you choose (although some of them I haven´t heard) great music taste!!!!

METAL RULES!!!

[Mandilore]

Glad to see someone mentioning Galneryus!!! Silent Revalation was the song that got me into them as well.

[Belvine]

Same here.

[cradleofjohannes]

now to download these songs and pwn noobs on COD4

[Metaluis90]

COD4?

[cradleofjohannes]

call of duty modern warfare =)

[nocken89]

EDGUY OWNS!

[epicguitarsolo]

hating dragonforce is just the new cool thing... you cant deny that they ARE popualr

suuurrreee they suck live but its mostly due to distortion because of the speed

[24oscar24]

lol

[Metaluis90]

shut up cunt

[BrucePowerMetal]

all the bands here are awesome XD

[BrucePowerMetal]

totally agree, dragonforce do not belong to that list. there is lot better than dragonforce in the world, but it seems people are hypnotized by the guitar ! i agree sometimes the guit sound really weird, but you'll have to agree that vocal sounds like it has been speeded up ... disgusting... but it seems that people keep on raging when you say dragonforce suck !!!! sorry but it is ...how do we call it ? oh yeah reality !

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

The vocals don't sound like they've been sped up.

Why would they need to do that, anyway? Anyone, knowing a song, can sing it fast, and the only songs Dragonforce sings fast are-- umm. . . Lost Souls in Endless Time, and that's it.

Personally, I don't find Dragonforce's playing all that fast. I don't really get it.

[BrucePowerMetal]

I said it was like if they were speeded up, but of course i know they don't do it. But the voice sound unnatural, I really hate his voice in fact. I know that the spped of the vocal isn't so fast. but at my opinion it is the big weak point of that band.

[powermetal12345]

Nice bands!!

But i miss nocturnal rites, but maybe it isnt power..

"fraise metal" from sweden is also very good!

KISKE!!!!

[Romulux07]

"NOT dragonforce"

oh look at you with your unique taste. You obviously feel you are something special, otherwise you would have just left dragonforce out without saying anything.

and for the record, dragonforce is awesome

[scul24]

Dragonforce isn't power metal, is speed metal I think dragonforce rocks, but this isn't his place

[papa891891]

Just to let u know they are Power/Speed Metal not just Speed

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

I've heard Speed Metal, from bands that actually claim to be speed metal, and they sound NOTHING like Dragonforce.

[giiykyheeb]

incorrect. it is powermetal

[sk8metalnick6]

thank you.the dickhead who made this video has a hole in his fucking head for writing that in the description

[Metaluis90]

so fuckin what motherfucker? I put ¡not dragonforce! because you wont find them here, no because they are speed or something, arseshit GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER

[prototypep4]

um no dude dragonforce are extreme power metal if any band should be here its them dragonforce are power metal at its best if u didnt know that then u dont know power metal very well at all

[Metaluis90]

LOL...no

Dragonforce is just your average power metal band....cliche as hell...

if you want power metal at its best, listen Gamma Ray...not Dragonforce... LOL you are the one who don't know nothing at all...

EXTREME POWER META!?!?!?!? LOOOL just because they call themselves like that doesnt mean they are!! they are just power metal, extreme power metal bands are like CoB, Norther, Wintersun, just to mention some

[KelLorien]

Blind Guardian didn't make the top ten?! They would be in my top 5, at least.

The more I hear of power metal, the more I think it is the best form of metal (and music, for that matter).

[0lo0l]

Yeah i agree there KelLorien :)

Power metal ftw!

[mushtandor]

melodeath rulz!!!

[ThrashedDeath]

How about Agent Steel?(Or would you call them pure Speed Metal?)

[phillipscheid]

Man i hate all this Dragonforce hating...

I admit they're songs sound the same, but they are epic!!! Just because they are fast doesn't mean they suck!!! They do suck live though because pulling off their songs live in one go would be incredibly hard. I'm a musician myself and it's hard enough playing a 5 minute song at like 150bpm compared to doing several 8 minute songs at like 300bpm the whole way lol.

I'm gonna get FLAMED LOL

Stratovarius are my definite no.1 favourite ever though.

[zexedearth89]

DRAGONFORCE SUX :D

[JamesIsMyNamo]

Hammerfall and Sonata Arctica would be my favorites.

[Faethon888]

Blind Guardian is my absolute favorite!

[Burzgalamoth]

I agree!!!

Except for kamelot's place it's to high, and you left Stratovarius behind them; but yeah Rhapsody Of Fire it's the best symphonyc speed metal band ever!!! Luca Turilli it's a genius!!! The symphony of the new world of Dvorak in a metal version it's something that just Rahpsody could do!!! And why do you take out the pic of the witch-king of Angmar in the second part???

Anyway nice work ;)!!!

[Orklord90]

That song from Galneryus mades me think of Castlevania!

[CaspitaJiotto]

Exelente video 5/5 pero no olvides dejar de usar movie maker. O el que usaste no es tan bueno.

[Metaluis90]

movie maker, y pues es el que viene con la compu

[CaspitaJiotto]

Pero estuvo exelente tuve un buen orgasmo oyendo esto. xd

[KANCERBERO6666]

I get an orgasm when I heard this

[CaspitaJiotto]

arrecho

[fireninja242]

to much info

[Metaluis90]

LOL! :)

[MedianAlcoa]

inspiring and nice clip :D

[EveningStar505]

most power metal singers sound like bruce dickinson but dragonforce have a difrrent high ritch voice:).... but all power metal bands rule!!!!

[norrec1234]

i think ,that blind guardian is speed

[Metaluis90]

I actually think that speed can't be a subgenre of metal, it's more like a heavy power metal, you know what i mean?

[snakemanno1]

fuck off dragonforce rule. all these metal band who use 'growl' vocals all sound the same and suck balls soooo incredibly badly. at least DragonForce have originality

go suck a dick

[Shammaster09]

Dragonforce are not original at all, they're a cheap shit over the top fucking lame act their vocals are really lame and they need to stop pretending to be a power metal band.

[ClownsFavorite]

Dragonforce aren't original at all.

They are like trying to be a modern day Metallica except completely failing, it's sad.

[giiykyheeb]

OK... Thats why they were nominated for a grammy is it you fucker? die a painful death

[Metaluis90]

LOL!!!!! ARE YOU DEFENDING DRAGONFORCE WITH THIS STATEMENT??? THEY ARE GOOD/ORIGINAL JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NOMINATED TO A GRAMMY??????

Fuckin idiot you dont know anything, specially of metal....Jethro Trull WON the heavy metal award back in the 90' against Metallica and JETHRO TRULL AREN'T EVEN METAL!!!!

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT GRAMMYS ARE THE WORST AWARD IN MUSIC!!

[deopisi]

dragonforce have originality?!?!? no, they are the worst power metal band, great musicians of course but only individually

[trevoris4w3s0m3]

i know bro these people have good taste in music but hate on dragonforce to much, they rule to and deserve to also be in here...as number 1

[Guardian9191]

O dragula...awsome!

[Hunter1stdps]

Firewind are from GREECE!

HAIL GREECE...

[Metalguyz]

Firewind rules.that is a band!!!!!not Dragonforce.Hail Greece Hail Firewind

[Guardian9191]

HAhahaha NOT DRAGONFORCE

Cant Iced earth be there too?maybe even Manowar

[Metaluis90]

[Zeetana]

What's the song used in the intro before Freternia?

[Metaluis90]

Karma, by Kamelot

[Zeetana]

DragonForce have great songs, so whatever. The other bands in this video are also good.

[KingOvBLackMetal]

dragonforce sux

[Metaluis90]

amen, brother.

[LordKenny1]

Dragonforce basically reinvented the genre "shitty".

[AKCzech555]

Damn, Power metal is my favorite of all Metal.

[idolguns]

Firewind FTW!!!

[Cleon5]

dragonforce is awful, they need to be in a genre of their own called "we sped this shit up to sound cool"

[Reymo0on]

man, dragonforce sucks at live

[dapik5]

wheres dragonforce? jk

[corkskrewclubhouse93]

Isnt Into Eternity power metal?

[diego3011]

te falta otro buen grupo japones: Versailles.

[DOMIN1CAN]

[Metaluis90]

verga pinche taradito, eres pendjeo o ke???? si fueras un poco menos retrasado de lo que eres en este momento te darias cuenta de ke esta es la primera parte del top, pero kreo ke es demasaido pedirle a un dominicano pendejo que se de cuenta de las pendejadas que dice

[Metaluis90]

[ajal05]

LONG LIVE POWER METAL!!!!!

[Borgek]

Hahahahahaha "not dragonforce" well said man!

[MarioForce92]

Hey tio todavia no me has dico porque no te gusta la musica de Dragonforce

[Brutaliswaffen]

Dude! the video is great. But put Gammaray in 17 is a sin!!

El coño de tu madre!!! GAMMARAY ES LEYENDA!!!!!! ¿¿COMO MIERDA VAS A PENSAR EN PONERLOS EN 17??

¿Eres loco o que??

[Metaluis90]

si awevo no tengo perdon

[MarioForce92]

Te guste o no, Dragonforce es mas popular, mas maravillosa, mejor, y lo mas importante, THE FASTEST band of the world... Do you understand me???

[puerko9112666]

eres una pedazo de mierda ignorante ..... idiota, mejor, importante, dragonforce??? mis webos!!!! esos imbeciles comercialisaron el power con sus malditas jaladas k ni sikiera mismo pueden tokar de nuevo fastest??? te lo repito de nuevo eres un iognorante estupido aprende de metal y sabras quien realmente toca rapido

[Oiolosseyt]

no tienes ni idea macho, me los voy a ver todos pero de que vas, por no poner tacos y tal... Kai Hansen INVENTÓ EL POWER METAL macho con Helloween y lo acabó en Gamma Ray, ¿Puesto 17? tu si que sabes de metal, eres jevi de toda la vida...

PD: Y aunque gótico y lo que querais NIGHTWISH es Power, bueno era ahora con la nueva cantante es Mierda Metal

[Metaluis90]

que significa todo eso de la primera oracion, no entendi ni puta madre

[damanegrachile]

Poner a GAMMA RAY en el lugar 17, es un pecado

weon ereje, blasfemo...

[Brutaliswaffen]

DE PANA! QUE BLASFEMIA!!

[Brutaliswaffen]

Tienes razon!

[27girl03]

i like this.very very good bands and songs...but isn't nightwish more gothic metal?

[lollnternets1]

yes but it's a power metal band with a gothic metal sound.

[DarkxBlade327]

nightwish is oprametal

[TheOllieB]

I love whoever made this list. It's so good and thank you SO MUCH for making a point to say that dragonforce cant compete cause they SUCK

[UnmakertheReaper]

This list is awesome, but where is Savatage?

[brnsktingdieskting18]

"what's wrong with dragonforce?"

#1. their new albums sucks ass...it's the same shit since inhuman ramp.

#2. the lead singer is now wearing fucking eyeliner. y'know....for the scene kids.

#3. one of the guitarists/soloists has "i love men" on there guitars. (i'm not fucking kidding)

[AccessSmitty]

he wore eyeliner in one video, he looked like a fag, except ZP Theart is an incredible vocalist. Haha i remember when sam had that sticker, its a joke dude he probably gets way more ass then you do. And I do believe that they should rank somwhere on here, u may not like them, but they dont suck.

[ESPguitars48]

lol, u could not be more wrong!!!!

[MarioForce92]

You now so much of Dragonforce... You need to underrtand that we, the Dragonforce fans, love this band because their fastest solos in the world... For any more... Not of their clothes or guitars...

[Metaluis90]

si se te dificulta hablar en ingles, pues habla en español

[AccessSmitty]

dude im a diehard, and ive been listening to them before fucking guitar hero. There solo's are incredible but get old, the reason i love this band is ZP Theart's vocals, i think there awesome. If u think only real df fans admire only the guitar then your not a real fan

[Metaluis90]

of course I'm not a df fan... when do i say it? and there's one thing. i don't thing they suck, just that they are overrated as fuck, so IMO, they don't deserve to be in a top 10...

[Metaluis90]

oh, I see that your comment wasn't directed to me... :D

[PowerMetalWanderer]

before guitar hero ? lol "troo" .. ZPs vocals in my opinion are terrible, he is a really weak vocalist and the times I have seen them live (watching other bands) he has failed to hit certain notes. There are loads of Power Metal vocalists who outclass him in every department

[RobinHood252]

Dragonforce is Badass!

[VanDam08]

All there songs sound the same, Theyr solos also sound very similar. Thats what holds em back from bieng the best Power metal band.

[poopeeree]

Metal For LIfe

[moome1649]

Blind Guardian for the win Let the bards play forever!!

[fedeman2]

when i was 15 i was going through a phase where i would listen to nothing but power metal, but it got really old really fast for me.

[schoolsmile]

the problem with dragonforce is that they are fake they CANT play live they are garbage.

[Skalokos]

I heard they pretend to be drunk

[RobinHood252]

Hm... Well i heard they sound the same...

Oh wait nvm, you just listen to everyone on the internet and haven't seen them....

[espiritudelucha]

what's the problem with Dragon Force?

[MarioForce92]

Why dont you like dragonforce???

[istigisti1]

awsome almost every band here is a favorite :D :P

[Ivanthebest000]

KAMELOT!!!!!!!!! YEAH!

[jenka123]

Blind Guardian! \m/

[Deathlicon667]

Galneryus, Firewind and Gamma Ray...Jus plain awesome

[ninja313124]

gimme dragonforce woooooooooooooooooo!!!

[Dragonheart999]

Nightwish isn't exactly power metal, but very good choices, I would add freedom call into it.

[Oterran]

yey!!!!

5/5 watch my vids plx :o

[FMV89]

<3 Galneryus =)

[d1irk]

DRAGONFORCE

[ninja313124]

[marcsk87]

[DreamThief3]

damn, I would never name my band Fairyland :S

anyway, a nice list, some very good bands there ;)and no dragonforce ^^

[Metaluis90]

lol, neither do I...

[torontojojo]

mm ok se que es tu lista y tu sabes las bandas que pones pero, Heavenly es una muy buena banda de power creo que merecia estar aqui pero por lo demas muy buenas bandas y pues si dragonforce no vale verga. buena lista!

[bananoverde]

gamma ra is the best power metal band... KAI CREATED THE POWER METAL

[jerzeebook]

Edguy/Avantasia blows all these bands away. Much more diverse yet all metal. No alternative influences whatsoever.

[Metaluis90]

ah?
