How someone says that never heard manowar before and call himself a metal head?? It’s like saying I am into metal but never heard Iron Maiden ! Not a single true metalhead had missed listening all the early 80 heavy metal bands
It happens. My nephew is 20 and he never heard of Maiden, Manowar, the big 4, Motorhead etc. I barely scratched the surface of the early 70s with him. By the time he is 30 I hope to show him the early 80s.
I actually think it is a generational thing, I don't think we should gate keep, if you like metal music you should be able to call yourself a metalhead if you want. We're not even gonna go into that sometimes people are just into a certain genre of metal thus maybe they're not gonna involve themselves in everything on the metal scene. I personally grew up only liking power metal or the classic old school heavy metal but I broadened later and got into folk metal and various sub genres. Some people just absorb the music slowly and have different stages. We must not forget Manowar and Maiden are really old bands at this point. This is where the true test comes for longevity which is why I think it's a mistake of manowar to milk their music.
Na minha opinião todos abaixo do Eric, o mesmo está vivo com mais de setenta anos e cantando em alta performance, vi um show há quatro meses atrás. Os que citou já se foram e o que restou não tem o mesmo alcance, vide Gillan!@@iraklyspiropulos1191
For a black metal guitarist reaction i would definitely rather suggest the epic Bridge of Death (and nope, not because of the lyrics) but because of the overall vibe between vocals and guitars)
@@Signofevil_Smile4theCam Yet the whole viking metal era Bathory is clearly inspired by their epic songs, the whole epic Bathory riff is a natural evolution of the epic Manowar riff.
One of those bands that totally kick ass and get you rocking and throwing up the horns, but the lyrics will occasionally make you roll your eyes. Undeniable talent IMHO
Great song great band and Eric Adams will always be my #1 vocalist. He can sing like a monster, and next song an angel. Your guitar sounds really distuned btw. Other than that and your lack of deeper analysis/ excitement, thank you for the video.
@@galayat-reacts3643Back in the high school, (early 90s) all than norway scene Burzum, Mayhem Emperor., we traded old tapes with awful sound. Later got a couple of Cds from Immortal which were not bad but not my cup of tea (I prefer Abbath) I like more melodic stuff like Dissection, Dimmu Borgir. I got some friends rrally into the scene so I tried many time, but I feel nothing like when listeting to other thrash, power or classic heavy metal bands.
Hey man, love your input on on the genres. Would love to see you react to Annihilator's Crystal Ann/Alison Hell. It's a very technical piece of thrash and metal history that is considered one of the most important works of the genres. Also would be great to see you check out some Dethklok, the parody death metal band.
Eric Adams, Bruce Dickinson, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Rob Halford, Ian Gillan, Deris and Michael Kiske, those where my staple, ther giants. Then, in the second shelf, I love some Andre Matos, Timo Kotipelto, Fabio Lione, Tarja, Vibeke, Hansi Kursch, John Oliva, etc...
Listen to songs from Into Glory Ride, Hail to England and Sign of the Hammer. Pretty raw production wise so you as a Black Metal fan might enjoy. That era of Manowar clearly influenced Bathory. I know Quorthon denied that but "Blood Fire Death" literally quotes several Manowar lyrics word for word 😅
Who is blind guardian??? 😅 Manowar was one of the monsters of metal in the 80 and 90.. people may like or dislike, but a metalhead saying never heard of them before! But nice review.. only few metal singers can match Eric Adams voice.. DIO, Halford, Dickinson..
I've never heard that tour story before, except for one where they were dropped from a set without their notice or notifying audiences and the band sued them for it, so it might be false; But I can't say that with 100% certainty. They adore their fans and never stop touring, and dedicating tracks to them. As for their quality of music, its steller and well played, but a decline noticed and believed by fans was made when Ross left after this album. Then eventually Karl "the sex offender" Logan joined and, while he's defiantly a skilled player and all, he couldn't hold a candle to Ross. I belive a decline started when Scott Columbus died, but that's just me. Someone else said it but some Crystal Ann/Alison Hell would be highly recommended, as would anything else from Annihilator; I may be biased cause I adore them, but they produce some really heavy, fast and headbanging tracks, while also having some softer more calm tracks with emotion played in them
Ross was def the best but post Ross Man0waR have numerous great songs ! Triumph of steel is an album Joey couldnt have produced with Ross. It needed a speedster and Joey ever since, has been hiring shredders. Neoclassical ones.
@@musicbynaush I suppose so, and while I do love albums post-ross, they suffer the flaws of repetition. So many tracks are about killing, praising the gods, and dying for glory. So much so that once you hear one, you've basically heard them all. The only thing that differentiates them is the music which is usually pretty good. Something I've noticed with Manowar fans is that most fans are Stans who think the band and Joey are literal gods who make flawless after flawless albums; Which is of course not a bad thing and I don't want to stop others from enjoying what they like. What I am saying is that the die hard fans all seem weird; Kinda like hard Metallica fans, but weirder if you get what I mean.
This is one of my favorite from Manowar. PLEASE react to "Dawn of a Million Souls" by Ayreon, guitarist Michael Romeo. It's probably my all-time favorite guitar solo. The song is near 8 mins long, solo starts at 4:39 and is broken down into 2 sections, first slower, then fast. PLEASE react to it and you'll gain my sub!
Check out Ren & Sam Tompkins- Earned it/ Mans World/ Falling. Its not your usual cup of tea but the guy has soul. The top comment says "the guy with the guitar, he is music music consumes him" and its true.
Analytics is a virtue, good disclaimer lol. Suicidal Tendencies - How Will I Laugh Tomorrow (pretty mellow) D.R.I. - Beneath the WheeL (GenX slacker song) Thrash about 🤘
Do reaction on the kovenant bringer on the sixth sun its black metal symphonic ,maybe you know, and it has very nice guitar solo, i listen the first in 1998 or 97 when i was in highschool.
@@jim7174 Manowar are considered one of the founders of US Powermetal. For context, basically none of the music that's considered powemetal today (gloryhammer, sabaton, etc..) are actually powermetal by original definition, and kind of leads to some argument within the genre and fanbase themselves
@@BorkBorkDoggo helloween are considered the founders of powermetal especially European powermetal with there albums keeper pt1 and 2. Manowar are a heavy metal band and sit along side bands like iron maiden .
@@jim7174 That's why I specifically mentioned US Powermetal. EUPM and USPM are somewhat distinct genres. But most consider bands like Manowar, Manilla Road, and Omen to be the originators of USPM. Though in power metal in general things tend to be a bit blurry between the lines of heavy, speed, and prog metal overlap at times
Also not that sure how a Black Metal guitarist can not know Manowar, but with the French sounding accent, check out the Gurkkhas ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N2ukypl_t4E.html .
Thanks for another insightful reaction. I still listen to Manowar, but they are not my favorite band. I do like Born in a Grave, Hearts of Steel, and Die with Honor. Have you ever listened to Wintersun? Looking forward to more of your reactions. thanks, and keep rocking🤘🤘🤘
@@notstandingwithukraine9478 I actually have several of their early albums (Battle Hymns, Hail to England, Fighting the World). I said they were not my favorite band, but I still like their music. Maowar was one of the bands my son used to introduce me to metal, along with Hammerfall.
Completely two different things Iron Maiden and manowar is POWER METAL VS HEAVY METAL!. Now blind guardian klaus is good but Erick Adams is a legend and so is this band if you’re into power metal and don’t know manowar you know nothing!.
Why you're assuming that "Alter Schwede" is a Manowar fan? He could be any random Metal fan just speaking out, even if he doesn't like Manowar at all....@@galayat-reacts3643
