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.

Tore likes Manowar. I officially win. And if Tore wants cheese...

Thanks Bats Waller.

I don't listen to much metal these days, but .. if cheesy, lame ass metal is a joke, then I wanna be in on it.

There's something delightfully uncompromising about someone dressing up like a beef jerky spandex warrior from a B movie cover and singing songs about dragons at the top of their lungs. It's daring to loudly love something which most people think is retarded, like a grown man declaring his love for D&D x100.

The kid in me thinks that D&D and dragons and warriors and shit rules and it's a part of me that I treasure.

I played D&D well into my 20's. I still think it's great. Man O War and dressing up like a spandex what ever you wanna call it, not so much.

Then go listen to Animals as Leaders (i.e. derivative Meshuggah wannabes).

They don't really do anything for me either. I do appreciate the talent though, and it has nothing to do with why I don't like MOW. Kind of a childish response there basement boy, but that's pretty much on par for the course aint it.

I'm sorry, were you expecting college-level discourse from me on this thread?

You're not sorry, and I don't think you're capable of College-Level anything, so nope.

(ahem)

So you committed a blatant logical fallacy in the other thread, multiple times I might add, and now you're trying to save face by starting a discussion in another thread? Sad.

So your're ignoring all my points, trying to wriggle away from the inescapable fact and conclusion that EVERY metal band rates Maiden, and are fighting me with quotes from Wiki? Sad. You're losin' boy, you're losin' big time. Address my point, or admit defeat. (You can fall on your sword if that helps you save face, but hurry it up as I got places to be) :pssst:

Quotes from Wiki? It's an academically recognized logical fallacy. The fact that you are unfamiliar with it is your problem. Here's several more sites that will explain just why appealing to majority opinion as a logical argument is wrong.

Of course, this is also appealing to authority, which is another logical fallacy all by itself.

So am I getting through to you? Your entire argument is based on logical fallacies so easy to recognize and tear down that I don't even know why I have to point them out. You lost the minute you tried mentioned Maiden's popularity.

Anal beads imo

You lost the moment you made your Manowar thread. You are now floundering. The end.

never understand why he doesn't post the cool Manowar songs

I am now going to ignore you. I feel like an atheist debating a fundamentalist Christian, my logical arguments falling on the deaf ears of one either incapable of, or unwilling to understand them. Seriously. Logical fallacies. They're a thing. Look them up.

That's just amazing, as that's exactly how I feel about you. If you want to make an argument, make it. Don't throw a load of gifs and smart remarks around and think that makes your point, while ignoring the logical arguments of the other person.

One more time. Your argument is flawed and does not bear consideration because...

Please do not respond until you have reviewed these, and considered why they might apply to your argument. If after that you still do not understand the point I am making, then you are stupid.

Because that's impossible.

Manowar sucks but so do fallacies. Tsk tsk Trollheart.

I'd have a hard time picking between the two if Manowar wasn't so horrible and Maiden wasn't so awesome.

Up the Irons!
