Why do some, not consider Power Metal to be Metal?!


Question: Why do some, not consider Power Metal to be Metal!?
I mean really, where else could it possibly fall!?

Certainly not Rock and if anyone even THINKS pop, they should be shot!. =)

Should it get the honor of being its own seperate Genre and not just a Sub of Metal!?

What say you!?

Hopefully we'll get both sides to the question as I'm curious!.Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I think we should just forget all of this sub genre crap and get back to the music!.
Honestly who really cares if you have the gain on your amp kicked up 6, 9 or 11!. Does an effect or different chord progression REALLY make a song a different genre!.
Who really cares, come on dudes, lets get back to the music!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

"Power metal is a style of heavy metal music combining characteristics of traditional metal with thrash metal or speed metal, often within symphonic context!. The term refers to two different but related styles: the first pioneered and largely practiced in North America with a harder sound similar to speed metal, and a later more widespread and popular style based in Europe (especially Germany, Italy and Scandinavia) with a lighter, more melodic sound and making frequent use of keyboards!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

Because those people arent metal experts!. In order to be a metal expert!.!.!.you have to know the music, the bands and the songs!.!.!.

Only REAL metal experts like myself and
a few others in here!.!.!.know REAL metal bands when they hear it!. Power metal is STILL metal!.!.!.!.whether people acknowledge it or not!. Only metal people know metal bands by the names!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Perhaps because they have not listened to the right groups

Gamma Ray - Land of the Free
Blind Guardian - Tales From the Twilight World
Domine - Champion Eternal
Hammerfall - Legacy of Kings
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys pt!.1 & 2
Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction
Liege Lord - Master Control
Rage - Perfect Man
Riot - Thundersteel
Running Wild - Under Jolly Roger

just some, and some important albums for the genre!.

There are too many groups that play a power metal that is too soft and too melodic:
Sonota Artica
Rhapsody (Of Fire)
Stratovarius
Labyrinth
Pyramaze
etc!.!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think we should just discontinue the endless myriad of Rock genres altogether!. When I was growing up, we called anything that wasn't disco or country "ROCK", plain and simple!. Now there are so many different sub-genres it's impossible to keep up with them all - and to make it sillier, there's all this infighting between the likers of the different genres!. It's starting to sound like the government!.

P!.S!. - someone should explain to Autowerks that Elvis & The Beatles are rock artists (so what if they were popular before you were born - they started it all !)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Because some People are Elitist Jerkalurkas!?

It's \m/METAL\m/, Helloween is Metal as Metal gets!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I've never heard anyone say it's not!.!.

I think that anyone who says that doesn't know what they are talking about!. =)Www@Enter-QA@Com

The same reason some people think Elvis and the beatles are Rock!. It is subjective!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
