Roy says hello to the doubters...

[Azrael LenGraden]

LMAO... where do you come up with those!

 

[labarum]

Where is the pic of Khan in a wig? I need it now.

 

[General Zod]

This is one of the TOP FIVE power metal records ever released (IMO) and it's because of ROY KHAN. He just sang what they told on his first Kamelot album but this is the one where he really got his input on melodies and you can tell immediately or it's possibly the band realized his full capabilities and wrote to his strengths, either way. TOP FIVE

This.

Now, for the tattoo thing, in this picture it's now obvious it's a shirt.

In the year nineteen hundred and eighty eight, thus saith Manowar:

True metal people wanna rock not pose
Wearin' jeans and leather, not cracker jack clothes

Amen

Damn Straight.

The PP Ultimate Metal board is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're going to get.

 

[Mardoch]

I hesitate to agree with anything Manowar, but I'll make an exception for that.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

I'm offended by the thought that what I wear on stage is somehow a costume.

Goggles are a regular part of my wardrobe.

 

[Oblivion Ocean]

Damn Straight.

This is the jist of what I was thinking too. How are we supposed to place merit in the judgmental wardrobe opinions of a band that wore leather bondage harnesses and loin cloths? If Manowar's music and image is somehow the standard by which "true" "non-poser" metal is to be measured, I think I may need to retire from my fandom of the genre.

You say this like leather harnesses are a bad thing..

 

[General Zod]

Damn Straight.

This picture was only taken to establish that the band was not using any fake tattoo clothing. And I have it on good authority, they killed all the animals they're pictured wearing with only a bass solo.

One of my favorite videos, in the history of ever. Watch many times, facial expressions, words, educate yourselves in the fine art of MAN.

"What is it about wimps that we don't like?"

 

[MetalAges]

Very hip, very happening.

My favorite part is watching Ross the Boss's face when Joey talks about "wearing fruits on their pants" lol.

I believe that, considering that 9 out of 10 times, a bass or drum solo will indeed kill all living things from sheer boredom...

"We just want to deliver true metal to the true metal people."

How can you argue with that!?

With the leather speedo picture posted above.

I don't care what anyone says, that picture makes Manowar's "true-metalism" crumble.

Anyone want to join me in Loincloth Night at ProgPower?

 

[Mardoch]

That sounds like, quite possibly, the worst idea ever.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

I am so down.
