Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one’s ever gotten into?
I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I’ve never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don’t know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.
So what can’t you get people into and why should we check it out?
Power metal. Most people seem to think it’s too cheesy.
Well it is. But that’s the point
Exactly!
What is considered power metal nowadays? Helloween? Manowar? Or something completely different?
Gloryhammer comes to mind immediately. Battle Beast, too. And offshoots like Brothers of Metal and Unleash the Archers.
Well, never heard of any of these. I kind of stopped listening to this sub-genre in 90s, same with heavy and speed, it’s all too “whiny” and “high-pitched” for my taste and ears if you get what I mean. Singers usually push really hard and guitars are either constantly soloing or shredding too high and that makes me uncomfortable nowadays.
But the best part is, there’s so much to pick from these days everyone should get satisfied.
I was into it some time late 90’s, and it was quite popular then. But it kind of died off and disappeared.
There’s so much good stuff nowadays.
