  • thy majestie CD cover.... first i thought the breasts are on a pretty strange place of that chick...

  • Great Galloglass song. I love them.

  • facts= most famous power metal bands are HELLOWEEN, RHAPSODY,HAMMERFALL, GAMMA RAY, and others

  • If u mean Arjen Anthony Lucassens band Ayreon it's progressive rock not power metal

  • Not to sound rude, but.... Where's Ayreon and Dragon on the Sea?

  • and for Angra...

  • and for Rhapsody...

  • and for Helloween...

  • and for Lost Horizon...

  • calm the Eff down dudes, he may have Sonata Arctica in List 2 or 3, can't squeeze all of them on the first one

  • DRAGON FORCE NOT GOOD ARTIFICIALLLL

  • Did you notice that there is no such a thing like awesome power metal band? No power, no metal... So why it is called power metal ffs? : O

  • I will agree with dragonforce only because soldiers of the wasteland was epic as fuck....but....where the hell is Sonata Arctica?!?!?! D:

  • @TheEternalDarkwolf sonata rarely makes anyones list.. but I think they should.. especially if you have seen them live and know what an awesome show they put on

  • dude,Helloween??

  • Where the hell is Blind guardian :O

  • Dream Evil is pure Heavy Metal

  • not to troll but i am offended that rhapsody is not on here

  • Uhm... Blind Guardian???

  • We'll but still

  • You all shut the fuck up about Dragonforce they're Awesome and Powerful and Dream evil is and Derdian Oracle sun I think the best album from Dragonforce is Inhuman Rampage it's awesome if you haven't checked it out you should

  • @360guitarfreak IR is just one, 40 minute long song... its all exactly the same!

  • @LachoDroogie I know

  • Derdian kicks ass! Those guys sent me a friend request...Gah, had to be years ago! Listened to some of their stuff and was blown away.

  • DragonForce rules!!!!! i really like their son E.P.M(Extreme Power Metal)

  • @Pokemonshinx1 dragonforce es posernintendo casi metal

  • GALNERYUS FTW (Y)

  • its sad this is the first video about power metal band with dragonforce in it

  • @Curtismanor2 Everyone has to include them, even though some don't like em?

  • @Deghinsea132 No, But there are videos i seen about power metal bands that they dont even know who they are

  • @Curtismanor2 And why should they be included? Everyone knows em, even my dog knows em so there is probably a different reason why Dragonforce is excluded from some of these videos.

  • galynerusis great glad u know thembutremove thoseposers Dragonforcethey suckcock

  • 12 people like justin bieber

  • i bow to galloglass!! and what about kamelot?

  • I Rhapsody e i Sonata Arctica sono i migliori per me....

    Poi ovviamente va a gusti!

  • dream evil is heavy metal not power and i like it very much :D as i like yur list,cool one dude

  • @Spike01101 well they are a mix and there first album is power metal and its a badass album too

  • I have seen Dream theater AND Dragon force live :)

  • dragonforce is one of the best bands in the history of power metal

  • nah

  • Derdian absolutely ftw

    

  • i have to say if you dont have Sonata Arctica in your list you suck ...

  • dragonforce cant play any of their music live,

  • @Gen0cideMachinex138 you mean like that,,,

    oh Fucking of your brain,,,

  • @Gen0cideMachinex138 Is because you've never seen them live jajajajaj I saw in Colombia and are great!!!!

  • Good taste in music :)

    i found a few interesting bands in your list.

  • Wheres Firewind :(

  • actually i look on youtube sometimes for hours, just clickling on songs to to find ones i like, and out of those hours of looking, i might find 5 or 6 i like. im not saying power metal is bad, i like it, just not a whole lot. my opinion

  • @3cdobrg Then you still haven't heard all that much Power Metal. Put Dark At Dawn next to Sound Storm, Eagleheart next to Manimal, Pharaoh next to Ballistic, Helstar next to Crescent Shield, Onward next to Angel of Eden, ... I can keep going with this. Point is, there's a lot more than just Sonata Arctica and DragonForce and everything in between.

  • @Deghinsea132 I love power metal. And though there are several bands you have to admit, they all take from one another. its inevitable.

  • @istandidol There's influences but not like all bands are one and the same. He may have heard 20 power metal bands which share some characteristics but the genre has about 4400 registered bands and I know there are but a few bands which share many obvious elements.

  • fuck, so much power metal sounds the same, i have to look at these kind of videos for hours and ill only find a couple songs i like because they stand out in the genre. TITS!

  • @3cdobrg You have no knowledge, at all, please high speed gtfo your way out of here.

  • @Deghinsea132 guess people have to have your opinion and not their own. my bad

  • @3cdobrg It's an argument from ignorance. You know a couple of songs which may sound a bit alike and immediately assert "much" power metal sounds the same. It's like saying Americans are all stupid because you see stupid ones on tv.

  • Dragonforce is shit

  • Galneryus is the best (jap)owermetal band

  • No matter where I look, I can't find anything about that Oracle Sun band. Can someone help me out here?

  • you kinda picked the not so good songs from great bands ..... no offence

  • God, I love power metal. It's the one type of music that has never grown wearisome to me. I definitely need to start a power metal band one of these days.

  • In Dream Evil's pic... is that Gus G from Firewind? :o

  • The greatness of the power metal , just the Masters of the Real Metal...

  • @keylllogdark u suck the real metal is like iron maiden not this shit ... iron maiden are just the fucking god of metal everyone can tell you that i know its a power metal channel but its true ...

  • @OldMetal4Life dude, Manowar is way more metal than Iron Maiden... and guess what? Manowar is power metal. so unless you have something actually constructive to add to the comments, piss off.

  • @VisionOfAMartyr omg manowar its all time the fucking same beat drum... i know its a good band but not the fuking best ... keylllogdark said:( the greatness of the power metal, juste the masters of the real metal..) wtf its power metal not the fucking old metal like maiden,judas priest,megadeth...

  • @OldMetal4Life he never said it was old metal. he said it was real metal. and, honestly, power metal bands are the only ones that don't (usually) end up selling out. judas priest might have a few really good songs, but the rest really suck. Iron Maiden fucked off and are doing whatever the fuck they're doing nowadays, and Megadeth went the same way as Metallica. Give me a better list of "real" metal bands, bands that didnt fall apart over time

  • @OldMetal4Life Manowar is what real metal is. them and 3 inches of blood are "real" metal. Iron Maiden was at one point, now they're whatever the fuck they are. Judas Priest has more shitty songs then good songs. and Megadeth did whatever the fuck it was Metallica did. give me a stronger list of "real" metal bands next time, alright guy?

  • @VisionOfAMartyr WITHOUT IRON MAIDEN ... METAL IS NOTHING =) SEND ME A LIST OF GREAT SONG ... LETS GO IF YOU CAN

  • @OldMetal4Life Dawn of Battle - Manowar. The Scarecrow - Avantasia. Angel of Death - Slayer. Beer Pressure - Municipal Waste. Another Holy War - Blind Guardian. Smiling Like a Killer - Motorhead. Hellraiser - Ozzy Osbourne. The Preacher's Daughter - 3 Inches of Blood. Death Metal - Possessed. Sin Sickle - Brand of Freak. Denim and Leather - Saxon. Soul Thrashing Black Sorcery - Skeletonwitch. Burn in Hell - Venom. Practice What You Preach - Testament. Deathamphetamine - Exodus. I could go on..

  • @VisionOfAMartyr its from a website lol i don't have time for all... give me your top 5 not your favorite song

  • @OldMetal4Life top 5 what?

  • @VisionOfAMartyr lol, Iron Maiden was and is still "real" metal, as you so nicely put it. There is no such thing as "real" and "fake" metal as your opinion on said band might be different to someone else's. I, for instance, think 3IOB was pretty mediocre until their last album but still nothing compared to Iron Maiden in any way, shape or form.

  • @Deghinsea132 Real metal, Traditional metal, heavy metal. they are all synonyms. I never said anything was fake metal, as i dont see how anything could be. yea, iron maiden was traditional metal at one point, then they sort of did a power metal faze, and now id say they are progressive metal. a band shouldn't just jump entire genres from one release to the next. if your that goddamn bored with what you were doing, break up. start a new band. dont just change your sound.

  • @VisionOfAMartyr Why not? Who are you to dictate them? It's their band, they can do whatever the hell they want do and no, they didn't jump genres, they remained Heavy Metal, they have been adding progressive elements to their music. That's it. They are still Heavy Metal. Real Metal ain't no synonym for traditional or heavy, it's a way for little kiddies to put down metal bands they don't like as "false metal". Proof is on youtube, a shitload of videos being the evidence.

  • @Deghinsea132 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. and i never said anything about false metal, read the fucking comments. if your going to be a heavy metal band, dont just jump up and go progressive one day. if your a death metal band, dont just jump up and go doom one day. sure, Iron Maiden's old stuff is great, i will always listen to it, but their new stuff is some shit that they should never have written, or even thought about writing.

  • @VisionOfAMartyr That's not for you to decide what another band should do and what they shouldn't do. If they want to go a little bit more Prog, it's their choice, not yours. Their new stuff is something many other people still like. "Iron Maiden was at one point, now they're whatever the fuck they are." They are still "real" metal, whatever the hell that may be, just because they became a tad more progressive doesn't mean they aren't Heavy Metal, which they still are.

  • @Deghinsea132 No, it does mean that they aren't traditional, or heavy metal anymore, i don't know what you would call it, because its not exactly prog metal, but it isn't traditional metal anymore. I personally wont call it heavy metal anymore, but you know, we could argue about any bands genre forever, and this is sort of getting ridiculous.

  • @VisionOfAMartyr Othyrworld is also very Prog influenced but can still be called Heavy Metal, with Prog influences. Iron Maiden is the same. 

  • @Deghinsea132 IRON MAIDEN RULE =)

  • ehhm... Hammerfall??

  • Even though most power metal fans hate Dragonforce, I don't because they introduced me to this godly genre of music.

  • Had Archeon as ringtone on my old phone lol when I hear it, I always think that my phone is calling XD

  • My list is better

  • Dragonforce is HEAVILY overrated. They're repetative, boring and sound too artificial and without any soul...

    There are plenty of bands far better than Dragonfarce...

  • Dragonforce have been a massive help during my depression days a few years back, just used to listen to the lyrics , allways used to make me smile and not have worry about the future :)

  • DREAM EVIL FOREVER!The best power and heavy metal band,very awesome,recspect to author,good bands!

  • @MrSnowyShow dream evil estan ahi porq su lider tiene una discografica, la mejor banda siempre sera Rhapsody Of Fire

  • @indecor4000 Forget about that comment,I was new to metal 1 year ago,now I know a lot of good power metal bands,by the way,I don't really like Rhapdosy OF Fire :)

  • INCREDIBLE list!! :D

  • i like the art alot

  • DRAGONFORCE RULEZ!! good thing you like them!!!

  • @as101345207 they are pretty friggin awesome but my fav power metal bands are like Helloween, Heavenly, Aquaria, Panzer X, Etc.

  • @metalxmania91 ok but dragonforce is my fav, but those are awsome as well

  • @as101345207

    Yeahh!

    Dragonforce fuckin' rules!!

    But the whole of the bands are amazing too!

  • @AnEndlessPain I like them all but DF is my favorite

  • rhapsody=dragonforce if they didnt suck

  • @elchivonoir Ignorant.

  • @elchivonoir

    Dragonforce and Rhapsody are totally diferent, even they're not the same metal genre.

  • @elchivonoir Rhapsody es la banda de las bandas,los reyes de reyes y dragonforce son unas gays poser de estudio q no son capaz de tocar a esa velicidad en directo

  • the album cover for dream evil..

    is..is that.. is that a predator? what?

  • Hell yeah dude Hibria kicks ass! You definitely know your shit! HAIL!

  • i like Dragonforce/Sonata Arctica/Derdian

  • @tnghenof dragonforce es una basura niño

  • ??WHERE IS ONATA ARCTICA EH?? CRAP donde esta sonata arctica

  • dragonforce got fucked once they had there song on guitair hero then EVERYONE started to lsiitn to them it ruined it

  • @MrDeathanglez agree, but I think that's good for them... they have more fans, am I right?

  • @MrDeathanglez GH3 was the only thing that made DF so popular and so hated.

  • dragonforce=fake

  • twilightning good choice

  • Archeon is melodic death metal...

  • Eh not so much my taste in power metal. This style has a little too much emphasis on the keyboards for me and not enough oomph in the guitars. I find Gamma Ray's Somewhere out in Space to have the perfect blend of keyboards and heavy riffs.

  • Someone find me a dragon to slay! NOW!

  • oh and i liked thunderstone that was pretty intense..

  • Hey your picture is train of thought - dream theater :DD

  • Best compilation I've seen yet. I love power metal but a lot of bands come up short of that epic impulse sound, but every band here has it!

  • why dragonforce. wheres domine? or heavenly?

  • y Rhapsody of fire?

  • whats the intro of the video??

  • lyrics of course the are not seriously taken its all metaphors and symbolism you interpret them and then apply them to real life

  • lol i just dont like the singing like the guitar is fking beast in like almost ever band seriously like dragon force lee !!!! omg its beast!

  • although lee is better totman does contribute more than u think

  • where the hell is Sabaton???

  • @srriiuummm

    You shouldn't ask stupid questions like that. The video represents the bands that he likes, not the ones you like, stupid prick.

  • dude stay chilled

    it was only a tip :)

  • @srriiuummm

    It is a tip to ask somebody why he didn't list a band he doesn't possibly know/like etc.? That was not a tip.

  • i totally agree, its his list, and sabaton in my opinion isn't up with the most awesome power metal bands.

  • @strawblonde457

    In my opinion Sabaton would be the number one :). But it still annoys me when some kid comes and is like : "WTF wher is saibaton u frekin noob!" even though its not my video.

  • fair enough, n tht annoys me too, all have different preferences of faviourite bands etc, just cause the person hasn't chosen a band they like, doesn't mean tht one shall have almost a strop about it. And i do like Sabaton and saw them live and they were awesome, just wouldn't be one of my top favourites :p

  • I have one question... Which is the real fantasy world? On one hand we have power metal which speaks of triumphing over one's enemies and believing in oneself no matter what. On the other we have rap and punk shit which speak of partying and drinking and shooting people like a pussy to pretend their problems don't exist and to escape them instead of facing them head on. Which philosophy would you rather follow?

  • my life for power metal.

    rhapsody the best!!!!

  • Amen to that my brother!!!! Horns up to All power metal bands!!!

  • Thank God Metal is back!

  • @keltic185 - When did metal ever go away?

  • @AgentFour: I agree, it never left us...

  • And you are one ignorant kid. Are Despised Icon and Job For A Cowboy more "mature" than this?

  • Hibria rules! São meus conterrâneos de Porto Alegre ^^

  • People that still think DragonForce sucks live are either trolling or haven't been to one of their concerts recently.

  • Also, people being mad at Guitar Hero is pretty fucking amusing.

  • People that think Dragonforce sucks live are wrong.

    People that think that Dragonforce are horribly inadequate compared to most other power metal bands are right.

  • Sorry man, taste in music is the most subjective thing. Believe whatever you want. To be fair though, DF isn't my favorite band.

  • Taste in music is subjective. There are limits, though.

  • And you're the one to say what those limits are? That's pretty egotistical.

  • I don't know what the limits are, but it definitely covers Dragonforce vs. Other power metal. Out of all the Dragonforce I've listened to, not one song has contained a single good novel original idea. Not saying other power metal bands aren't guilty of the common power metal negative tropes (repetitiveness, corny lyrics) but DF just takes it to a whole 'nother level of excess. Maybe I was a little harsh in saying "horribly inadequate", but DF really is on the low tier of power metal bands.

  • Ah! And herein lies the problem. You take the music seriously. It's not supposed to be taken seriously. And thanks for actually putting some arguments down against the band. You're not one of the people who goes "lol this is dumb" and I can respect that. Let's just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

  • Well, I'd definitely not take the lyrics seriously. That goes for pretty much all power metal, lol.

  • derdian is verey awsom they come from italy like me they metal very well

  • wanker...

  • Galloglass yeah! after i saw your videos, i downloaded the albums of this band and are amazing!, thanks for uploading your videos man!, are a guide very good for known more bands...

  • Kiuas is awesome. Warrior Soul, Spirit of Ukko etc.. :P

  • can someone send me a PM of any other good italian power metal bands. i already have rhapsody of fire

  • does Derdian really have that kind of quality of music?

  • hibria cd cover reminds me of "road rash" chaos motorcycle game :D

  • stratovarius, galneryus, dragonforce = my favorits :)

  • it's diferent compare the best play band in live and the best performanca live, the band who play in live like studio is a good band, but if you get a great performance, they are the best band, Like Iron, Kamelot, Nightwish, slayer, synfony x, archenemy,, angra, etc etc etc

  • Comment removed

  • @Heroeshere You dont know anything!!!!!!!! See Stratovarius or Nightwish and you will see.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Not quite. Those like Rhapsody, with a huge orchestra behind them, might sound live a bit worse if they are not headlining or whatever or if they don't have their usual set up but bands like Firewind, Kiuas, Sabaton, ... all do rather well actually. Some do better than others of course but it's not really true what you are saying.

  • @Nergal131 Rhapsody is in fact one of the best livebands i have ever seen. Check out their livedvd. But yeah, bands like that normaly have it tougher to play live.

  • Yeah, but that's only when they are actually headlining or have their orchestra with them. Otherwise, it would be just backtracking and it wouldn't really sound coherent. But yeah, Dawn of Victory and Holy Thunderforce live from that DVD is insane.

    But I meant, bands like Rhapsody who require a lot of set up generally do worse than bands who don't. Simple bands like Cage or Jag Panzer don't even have keyboards so there's hardly anything to mess up other than the sound setup of the venue itself

  • @Nergal131 What i've heart they always peform like that.

    I understand and its true. Smaller bands may have the time / other necearly things to make such things in studio but when live, they dont have the money to hire orchestras and other things so its either backtracking or sounding bad.

  • not Hibria or Stratovarius

  • when he thinks of Power Metal he automatically thinks Dragonforce :) haha... lil 12yr old doesn't know anything about Power Metal, get more knowledge of power metal before you start saying they suck live haha..

  • lol so true, how naive

  • Comment removed

  • hibria - awesomeeeeeee

  • studioforce lool xDDDDDDDDDD

  • studioforce

  • wads intro song?

  • ohh come on today i listened about 20 metal bands and in each of them the music was super cool but when the singing starts it totaly sucks - like dream evil here ...

  • LOL, dream evil is such a fucking badass band. the singing owns!! cant wait to see them live in february with stratovarius!!!

  • i thin`k Archeon its Melodic Death Metal Band ,npt power metal.

  • It's just for the intro, that doesn't have to be Power Metal. It's just a cool song to create an interesting atmosphere.

  • Until We touch the burning Sun is a unreal plagism of Walk the Earth by Silent Force...XD
