Love all 3 of those genres. I'm going to give a big  for Vicious Rumors, a sadly underatted power metal band from the USA. In fact I just reviewed their eponymous third album for this site the other day, their best as it happens. I'll be getting round to reviewing more of theirs over the coming weeks.

Saxon? Really a great band, for me. I've several CD, Lp and MC of this band. Raff... Also some Extreme Metal albums are great. But Classic Metal is more coloured and with more feeling and emotions, for me (and not only for me). So I appreciate more Classic etal. -------------

Listening to Judas Priest right now. Also love...
Ozzy Osbourne
Iron Maiden
Yngwie Malmsteen
Saxon
Whitesnake (Provided you guys don't class them as Glam...But I love Glam anyway so who cares!)
Scorpions
Witchfinder General
Def Leppard (On Through The Night is N.W.O.B.H.M. regardless of what they sound like later!)
Angel Witch
Motorhead
Dio
Iced Earth (Surely those guys are classed as Power Metal)
I'm also a Thrash and an A.O.R. fan.
Definition of A.O.R: Not hard enough to be hard rock, or glam enough to be glam or prog enough to be prog
but a little bit like all of them. Late 70's to early 80's appears to be its peak. Bands include...Boston, Journey, Asia, etc... Good for getting drunk and singing to.
Oh, and Raff, by any chance are you a U.F.O. fan?

Saxon was big name in the early years of the NWOBHM, i remember reading in a magazine that they was the revelation in Reading 80.
Time Signature, you must hear Wheels of Steel, Saxon and Strong Arm of The Law and the firat live album, they are essential Saxon.

Ozzy Osbourne was a big favorite of mine back in 2004. When I got better at guitar I used to like kicking out Mr Crowley and Crazy Train. Randy Rhoads is a big influence on my guitar playing style. First two Rising Force (Malmsteen) albums ruled. Some really tasty and melodic solos on those albums. Everything after that sounded basically the same, but Malmsteen will always be a big influence on my guitar playing with his fluid style and amazing vibrato. First 2 Sabbath albums will always be the peak of classic metal in my books though -------------

Some Trad Metal bands as Gotthard or Talisman (just to mame 2 band that I reviewed) are more close To AOR that to Heavy Metal. The problem, for me, is that these bands are Class Metal. But Class Metal is a genre of Heavy Metal, for you or it is only a branch of Trad Heavy metal? -------------

It is the term often used in the Eighties to define what we now call Glam Metal, or even some instances of harder-edged AOR (like Bon Jovi). I remember Kerrang! made quite a large use of this term back in the day. |

Hmm... I seem to remember that term as well, I think you may be onto something Time Sig, "Classy" may be related to the "make-up" (Bowie, New York Dolls, Sweet, Poison and so-on). Well you English use many different terms that I have had to think about for a bit. "Techno" is and was used alot, from Hemispheres Rush to Spiral Architect. My reactions were like . . . "TECHNO!!!???

That makes sense. I guess that's where the "glam" part comes from, too. I've also heard terms like "sleaze rock/metal" and "cock rock/metal" used for what's called "glam metal" nowadays. I guess "hair metal" refers to the same genre. Anyway, I don't think the lyrical content of a lot of "class metal" is marticularly classy ;-)
I'm not a native speaker of English myself, but i think that the many terms in rock music would probably confuse most English-speakers just as much as the rest of us. -------------

I have English friends on a Prog Rock/Metal Internet Station and a Female Friend (From Northern England) whom I learn "Banter" and slang with (and Monty Python, haha).We Americans tend to turn english upside-down, but we're "Rebels", its our job  ------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

NWoBHM for me - especially the more obscure/forgotten acts.
It's the small bands that really made the scene for me, much more than the big names - Raven being the notable exception. Raven made it fairly big - but should have been so much bigger.
Surely there are others on this forum who are into bands like Dragonfly, Voltz, Legend, Satan, Mythra, Bleak House, Trespass and Hollow Ground?
Did anyone actually see any of those bands at the time?
How about the bands that Metallica rescued from obscurity, like Holocaust, Blitzkrieg, Diamond Head and Budgie?
Vardis, anyone?
These are the bands that forged the metal in Heavy Metal music - let's not forget them!

Vardis, Angelwitch, Mythra, Trespass, Samson, Wytchfynde, Tank, Tygers OPT, Praying Mantis, Sledgehammer, Quartz.....
I have many of the singles the bands used to sell at the gigs, Mythra released "Death and Destiny" this way I believe.
I can't believe I can still hear after one of the Angelwitch gigs. Purple were loud as were Motorhead but these guys, unbelievable! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

Likewise...
Cool list - I've seen most of those too. I never got to see Witchfynde though
A lot of those were on the bill at Reading Festival in 1982 - did you go, by any chance?
What headliners we had that year - Budgie, Iron Maiden and The Michael Schenker Group. For a metal head in those days, it just didn't get any better - except when Diamond Head replaced Manowar on the Saturday(?).
That's awesome - I never bought any of the singles. I'm kicking myself now, as many are worth a small fortune.
Diamond Head famously sold their first album, "Lightning to the Nations" at gigs, which is why some of the 1,000 copies in existence are fully autographed, some partially, and some not at all.
Didn't Motorhead go through a phase of proclaiming themselves the loudest band in the world? I read a story at the time that Saxon beat them one night at the Hammersmith Odeon, and got some kind of noise notice for doing so...
Saxon were bloody loud - awesome band (and unsung influence on Metallica).

I don't think any of the Tyger's or Witchfynde's stuff is worth much - there's no specific valuation site I know of, but Popsike.com lists records that have sold at eBay at a high price.
The Mythra "Death and Destiny" EP is probably worth around �50-�60, if it's in the picture sleeve and in good condition.
The ones you really want (from a value perspective) are Dragonfly's "Silent Nights" EP, and either of Bleak House's singles - "Rainbow Warrior" obviously is the most valuable.

Nope - hardly worth a penny (to collectors, of course - to NWoBHM fans, it's priceless!).
The Def Leppard record that's worth money is this one;
 It can fetch up to �700.
 The Belgian release, "First Strike" is another good one, value-wise, as is the poorly-promoted "Slang" - and there's a BBC Transcriptions recording with AC/DC on the flipside which is fairly rare.

I think that the criminally overlooked Fanny were the true pioneers here - to take nothing away from the Runaways - Fanny were an amazing all-girl band who were recording right at the beginning of the 1970s up until the Runaways formed in the mid 1970s - and Fanny seriously rocked, not just for a girl band, but because they were better musicians than many male artists of the time.
...then there's The Luv'd Ones, who recorded some amazingly dark and heavy music in 1967
..and not to forget Merseybeat band The Liverbirds (one word)
...and Goldie & the Gingerbreads - the earliest all girl band I know of
Maybe this should be in the Girl Metal thread

Traditional Metal is an umbrella term for all metal that just have guitars, bass guitars, and drums. No flutes, no keyboards or synthesizer or classical instruments. That is why I include heavy metal, speed metal, thrash metal, and power, but also some doom and death metal.

It's a shame that their rather comical image eclipses the fact that they've recorded plenty of first rate heavy metal. I've mostly heard some random songs from here and there, some of them are great and some of them really really not good. Battle Hymns I've heard in its entirety, both versions, and it's a nice album.

Love these genres! Maiden, Priest, Accept, Running Wild... You all know these bands and I think everyone who likes heavy music should find these groups great. So do I. Power metal is also a very good genre. I personally love Blind Guardian, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Masterplan, Edguy and all that kind of stuff. It can get a bit boring if you listen to power metal all the time but in smaller portions this can be very delightful music. NWOBHM is a bit more strange to me, but I know Am I Evil from Diamond Head |

So it seems most of that YouTube stuff I posted no longer works.  Guess I'm posting the power metal again. Not enough love for the power here (or anywhere). More bands this time. Be prepared for a long post.Blind Guardian: Helloween: Gamma Ray: Iron Savior: Rebellion: Iced Earth: Wuthering Heights: Pharaoh: Avantasia: Kamelot: Stratovarius: Falconer: Kiuas: Ancient Bards: Demons & Wizards: Almah: Arven: ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

I agree! Van Halen, Whitesnake, Mr. Big, Rainbow, Nazareth and Aerosmith. These bands have joined my list of recent months.
Very good list! Power!
Ahhh, certainly, it is clear LOL |

| I personally would give four Judas Priest albums (Sad Wings through Stained Class and Painkiller) and the first five Dickinson fronted Maiden albums 4.5 stars or higher. 80s, 90s, and even some 2000s power metal albums are among my favorites. |

Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are obviously favorites of mine As far as other trad goes, I enjoy W.A.S.P.'s 'Headless Children', don't like their early shock-rock though  Accept and Battle Beast are also some favorites of mine. I love a lot of power metal. Gamma Ray, Kamelot, Crystal Viper, Kobra and the Lotus, Hammerfall, just to name a few. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

| Without counting neo-classical metal bands, Dio-fronted Rainbow would be my favorite traditional metal band. I'd like Dio-Sabbath more than Ozzy-Sabbath if it wasn't for their first three albums, and Dio's first four solo albums are priceless listens anytime. |

All the Dio-Rainbow albums are great! Stargazer is probably my favorite Rainbow song, Dream Theater did a pretty good cover of it.  ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

| That's my favorite Rainbow song as well, and Dream Theater did it justice for sure five years ago. |
