Manowar or Maiden?
 

Let's do this just to annoy Batty. Vote and show him how inferior his favourite band is to a true metal icon... :thumb: ;)

I've never really listened to Man O Dork, so I can't compare the two. If Batfart wants to throw what he considers their best out there, I'll have a listen and post my thoughts.

Vote: Slayer

The only Man-O-Bore song I've heard was Warriors of the World or something ("Warriors everywhere, raise your hands into the air"?). I wouldn't mind it if Flatboard gave us some highlights, though. I'll hold my vote until I can better compare the two.

Behold!

Anthemic and cheesy bordering on lame. In other words, pretty awesome stuff!

I enjoy this.


Blood of the kings is definitely my favorite of these two. It is kinda Iron Maiden / Judas Priesty combined with the cheesy chorus from a Rhapsody song. It's not a bad mix.

Ok, this one first.

The intro is poorly done, and sounds like he needs to tune his guitar, or he's using a cheap guitar with bad intonation. Now, the weak drums kick in, with a poor attempt at double bass trills. When the main riff starts, I can already tell there will be much pomp. I hate pomp. Trying to be all glorious, and majestic is really kind of silly. Dream Theater does this quite a bit, as does Dragonforce. The vocals are laughable. Just... is this all a joke? I'm not even gonna to continue.

If this type of music takes you to your happy place, then more power to ya. For me, it's pretty lame.
