I'm a big fan of power metal. It's high-energy and the lyrics are mostly about slaying dragons and/or facing the dark lord's armies.

Which power metal bands do you like? I like a lot of prog metal. There are so many sub-genres of metal that I'm not sure if I've heard any of what you're talking about. Post a video of one of your favorite songs...please:)

Cool! "I'm just a sweet transvestite...." ;)

 

Fun memories for sure!

 

When I was in high school, a friend and I went to a midnight showing. We went to the restroom before the show and when I came out of the stall, Dr. Frank N Furter was standing in front of the mirror putting on his finishing touches. We talked for a bit -- he was attending the local university and had very long legs which looked nice in stockings -- but then his sister came into the bathroom, took one look at him, started to cry, and said something like, "Mom would die if she saw you now!"

That's a good story - quite believable!

 

Well, truth be told I've never gone to a show. :P

 

My ex was into it (she played Magenta, but that was before I met her) and we rented the "tape" and I thought it was hilarious. I saw it at the record store the other day, and thought it was campy and cool enough that I should own it.

They still have showings in DC around Halloween, but I'm not up for that anymore hehe. I went a few times in high school and college, but I never dressed up as a character. I did take a bag of props though, like newspapers, a squirt gun, a piece of toast.....

It was cold and drizzly, so over in just a few hours for us!

 

Much warmer inside and pleasant, upbeat background music:

 

(Love Van Morrison AND the Chieftains...but I've never heard them together (I don't think)...will have to look them up right now!)

Well, Dragonforce is the quintisential band for that genre, but let's see...

 

Dragonforce:

Disciples of Babylon:

 

Symphony X:

Incantations of The Apprentice:

Wicked:

 

...That kind of thing.

U2 -- The Joshua Tree

This song is totally underrated. I've mentioned that to several friends, but no one else seems to share my view. Oh well....I guess it's just because I fell in love with Bono when I was in college and we left MTV on 24/7 and the song is really about the emotion in his voice.
