Manowar - Page 2

Saw Manowar last time they where here in US. Met Joey and Karl. Meeting Joey was definetly an experience. Told him how great it was to finally see them live and he proceeded to tell me "We are gonna blow the roof off this sh#thole tonite" Manowar are a great band true legends but sometimes come up short like the last couple of releases have paled compared to older stuff. Just WISH they would actually tour the US(where they call home) again soon.

How can you not like a band who comes up with such brilliant lyrics like "...we come for the number one, not the number two!"
I do own all their albums, however, and my favorites are probably "Into Glory Ride" and " Hail To England". Favorite tunes would be stuff like Battle Hymn and March For Revenge. When they're on, they can write the best epic metal ever. When they're not....well.....they're just goofy. It's not too often that I can really like a band and be embarrassed by them at the same time. Ahhhhh....the beauty of Manowar!!! Made of steel, not clay!!!

I fixed your post.

I love MANOWAR and have taken bullets for them countless times on this forum. I'm 39 years old and grew up with this band all through high school. I still LOVE them today and will continue to do so in the future.

This is one of the reasons you're one of my faves on these boards, my true brother of metal!

Hail and kill!

There is a band out there named after my handle? Do tell? What are they like? I know some folks have had a problem with their "personas" but all I can say is the guys have never been anything but ultra cool to me. Had some of the best experiences of my life to their music or at their shows or after shows.

I know they are cheezy and I do miss the more free flowing variety of the early stuff - a lot of the later stuff seems to be waaaaay to over produced and repetitive - but when they let loose they can still bring it.

They are just one of those bands (we all have them) that I will always support no matter what - they are a huge part of the soundtrack of my life.

Say man, when is Jag Panzer gonna release a new CD and tour again? We'd LOVE to see them play a future PPUSA! BTW, I hope the Avs beat the Wild in this series!

I dunno - I totally missed going to see Harry at a club down the street - think it was a couple of weekends ago now. I was gonna ask him about anything new from JP, if Chris is still in the band even though he is touring with Megadeth (can't blame a guy for wanting to earn some money during downtime). I THINK they are doing some euro festival shows this summer but to be honest - I've been out of the loop with things local while formulating my ProgPower plans. Now taht I ahve the $$$ I need to send Glenn as my Jon Oliva's Pain spoonsorship - maybe I can start working on getting JP there next year
