Playing d2r listening to Lorna Shores new ep. Fantastic
This was entertaining. Hehe
Dee Snyder is underrated imo this is the best Crazy Train cover I have ever heard. Itâs really not Twisted Sister not sure why itâs listed as such. Itâs actually Dee Snyder, Doug Aldrich, Tony Levin and Jason Bonham.

The one and only tattoo I have is the Operation: Mindcrime symbol.
Queensryche was my favorite band. Iâm from Seattle and they are one of the best to come out of that city. They were/are great in concert.

I wholeheartedly agree!
So I saw this thread and was like âooohâ but then got kind of disappointed when I didnât see any Rhapsody posted in the first few pages. Then I realized how many responses there were. Then I realized the posts I was reading was from a year ago.
Anyway I flip to the end, scroll up like a month, then go from there. Yet again, no Rhapsody! Finally, you post Emerald Sword!
So, when I was sill new to WoW back in vanilla one of my favorite things was to watch PvP videos, and a friend linked me this:
(Part 1 of 2)
Which had three songs, the first two by Luca Turilli, and the third by Rhapsody of Fire.
Years later I go digging and find out that there was a band called Rhapsody and it only became Rhapsody of Fire after Turilli became the vocalist (or something like that).
Then, after listening to a handful of Rhapsody songs for the millionth time, I try to find more in order to learn more about the epic sounding D&D-esque fantasy story that is apparently being told in the songs. Thatâs when I find out Rhapsody of Fire does this sort of continuation of the story which was told across most (all?) of the Rhapsody albums!
Which as a side note: this is the band Sir Christopher Leeâaka Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus and Saruman the Whiteâplayed with! Which, interestingly enough, he also had his own metal band and released a handful of his own albums.
Anyway, the sound the band had was, to my ears, the perfect blend of classical, opera, and metal. The culmination of hours worth of musical story telling is one of my absolute favorite songs from the band:
Iâm typing this all out on my phone right now or else I would link the Reddit post I found a year or so ago detailing the entire story / album listening order of the songs. Even without that, this is a great band to just dive head first into.

So I just recently discovered The Hu and been listening to that (among other things). They are what I would describe as a folk metal band from of Mongolia that combines traditional Mongolian instruments, throat singing, and hard rock . I donât understand anything they are saying because I donât speak Mongolian, but it has an awesome vibe. From translations I have found they sing primarily of their ancestors, Genghis Khan, and glorious combat. They even did a piece for Jedi Fallen Order, so if you have played that you have probably heard them. Anyway, I recommend them for anyone looking for some multicultural metal.

Man, this thread still goin.
Truth be told, Metal is a dimension of white culture Iâll never quite be able to wrap my head around. I just donât get it, never will, wonât even try.
Iâve known plenty of non-white metalheads. Stereotypes arenât nice even if they are pointed at white people.
