Not just Symphonic, but Symphonic *Power* Metal.
Here are some I have:
Nightwish - 'Once' (2004)
Rhapsody - 'Symphony Of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret' (2004)
Kamelot - 'Epica' (2003)
Kamelot - 'The Black Halo' (2005)
Dark Moor - 'Beyond the Sea' (2005)
I didn't like this one as much, but maybe I just got the wrong album by them:
Avantasia - 'The Scarecrow'
If their other stuff is more Power Metal-ish, what album by the should I look into?
Thanks!
Answer :
Here's some random suggestions!
Bride Adorned - Blessed Stillness?
"Killing Frost" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSYXpt0RR…
Aquaria - Shambala
"Expedition" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4khHV4Zxs…
"Firewings" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmJYcwrtv…
Edenbridge - Shine / MyEarthDream
"Shine" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8g_dvd3x…
"Adamantine" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujL1Hjpiv…
HB - Frozen Inside
"God Has All Glory" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBvGQ60_p…
HolyHell - Apocalypse
"Resurrection" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlqwPeDLg…
I'd also recommend Amberian Dawn, but the vocalist isn't very good. Still, "Lullaby", "Valkyries", and "Fate of the Maiden" aren't bad, all from River of Tuoni.
* * * Also I'd say the Nightwish albums Oceanborn and Wishmaster are probably closer to the power metal than Once (although Once is my favorite!). Here's some songs if you haven't heard them yet! :P
"Gethsemane" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6RuDVwXN…
"The Pharaoh Sails To Orion" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbzez7A8g…
"Devil and the Deep Dark Ocean" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESumfSkon…
"The Kinslayer" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2zVlvdR0…
"Wanderlust" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0RnPHfLr…
"Wishmaster" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP7mjSwqO…
Answer :
DOOD, you gotta pick up Luca Turilli's "Prophet of the Last Eclipse!" It is epic beyond all compare!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBEZwuJjN…
Might also wanna check into Galloglass' "Heavenseeker."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M46vTevd0…
Fairyland's "Fall Of An Empire" is pretty good, too (despite the questionable name)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmIVgH-oB…
Good call on Aquaria, Skittles! Though, I have the album "Luxaeterna."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7tvWWt1-…
I'm a n00b to Burning Point, so I'd sample around with them. XP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeYFeswmb…
And Epica! (no, not the Kamelot album you have) They feature the (freakin' hawt) female vocalist Simone Simmons, and I gotta go with Conspiracy Theory on this one.

Take a look at my poem please.?
I dedicate to someone who i couldn't figure what she is, i cannot express what's happening or what happened with me during the past 3 years , she's someone id die for but yet she cannot love me back it's hard for me to accept that fact , now she's gone i cant forget about her we share same friends god doesnt want me to forget about her. this is for you E.
there is a garden in my heart
more beautiful than words
Filled with subtle scents and shades
and the rhapsodies of birds
i go there to refill my cup
or when i am alone
to find my favorite rock and trace
the smile upon the stone
when the wind blows in my heart,
stirring up the sea
i turn my back upon the waves
and return to me.
i sit beside a quiet pool
and gaze down at the sky
and feel a yearning so complete
i cannot help but cry.
i'm still the one calling for you
i was in your life history yesterday
with my heart and longing for you
and people saw me while i was wandering
and hiding inside me
calling for you to come if you can hear me.
embrace me with the warmth of your eyes
delight me and tell me you're coming back
make my world sweet my darling my heart needs you
i am still the one calling for you
you've increased my torment in your absence
the separation has an end
i made you swar you'd come my eye
why are you forgetting me?
why are you like this?
may you forever be be before my eyes
that would be enough
to satisfy me
Answer :
i wrote this poem about my cat Jay.
Jay baby Jay bay,

"Something To Keep In Mind - Story 2" Could I please get some more opinions on a second one?
Hi I would like to write a collection of short stories similar to this one, with the connecting thread being the phrase "Something to keep in mind:" appearing at the end of every story. But first I wanted to get some feedback on one of the stories.
I have already posted another story at this url, and if you like this one then I encourage you to leave feedback on the other one too:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
.............................
The boy sits in his room and thinks about her. She looked over at him, that much is certain, but was she glancing or really looking? He couldn't make up his mind.
The next day he decides to go back. Hopefully she was working.
He gets there and tells himself that he really needs to buy a good set of carry-on luggage, this isn't all just about her. The kind with wheels that don't clack and zippers that don't tear. The kind that will make your flight attendant's toes curl.
He walks in and doesn't see her. Men's Casual-wear, Boy's Sneakers, Home Appliances, Lingerie, he can't find her anywhere. He panics. He never really needed that luggage anyways. There's other baggage in the sea.
He finds himself wandering through walls of belts and ties when he sees her and she sees him. Hair colored red. Eyes painted blue. Shirt filled with what can't possibly be God-given. Not a natural bone in her body, and she's the most perfect thing he has ever seen.
He won't look for long, not with her staring back at him. This is it. This is what it feels like to have a girl really looking at you.
Ah, here is what he was looking for. This is the most interested he has ever been in a silk, handmade, men's necktie. The tag makes him think this tie might be the answer to every question that he has ever been asked.
A necktie you will be pro- "Is there anything in particular that I can help you with?" Is that condescension in her voice?
"Nope. Just looking." Too cold?
"Well let me know if you need anything" She smiles. Say something clever.
"Like if I get stuck in one of these things?" Oh my God.
"Let's hope that doesn't happen!"
He smiles, hoping it doesn't look too phoney. “You never know.”
“Well alright.” She goes back to her stocking.
Leave now.
Did she look at him as he walked away? Did she think he was cute? Was he cute? Did he say something stupid? Did she talk to her friends about him? Would she keep a scrapbook made of pictures of him? Did she think about him in bed? In the shower?
He asks himself these questions as he walks home. It all stops mattering the moment he rounds the corner of Washington and Drake.
He remembered hearing the neighbors were moving out, and he often heard them playing beautiful music through the walls of his room. He would miss that music.
Down it falls. Down falls Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven. Down falls compositions, rhapsodies, preludes. Down falls dreams of budding virtuosos. It all comes down on the questions, and head, of the boy.
Something to keep in mind: Pianos can fall in real life too.
..............................
Thanks for any feedback, criticism welcome.
Once again, sorry for the format.
Answer :
At the end, it actually made me laugh. This story is brilliant, to be honest. It gets all deep, and then fast paced, and then the end... priceless.
Answer :
good except why does the girl have to be all fake and picture perfect...in real life pianos may fall but girls like that get too many guys like him... why can't she be un-perfect and sweet and all that? im just sayin'... there are more normal nice and sweet girls that aren't perfect that they are like that... and its too typical for a guy to pine for a girl like that!
hope i helped hope you argree lol :D it is really good though... other than the type of girl

Who do you think is the king of all rock and roll? (include reasons)?
I think that the king of rock is Freddie Mercury because of his incredible, un replicable vocal range along with the legendary, unforgettable songs that he's written and the influence he's brought to later stars. Also because of his incredible ability to play the piano.
A clip of him singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T36Ez1pq3…
Some songs that he wrote: Ogre Battle, The March of The Black Queen, The Seven Seas of Rhye, Killer Queen, Stone Cold Crazy, Death on Two Legs, Bohemian Rhapsody, Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions, Bicycle Race, Don't Stop Me Now, Play the Game, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Body Language, Under Pressure, It's a Hard Life, One Vision, Princes of the Universe, The Miracle, Breakthru, Innuendo, I'm Going Slightly Mad, Headlong, These Are the Days of Our Lives, Bijou, The Show Must Go On, Made in Heaven, Mother Love.
Some bands/singers that he influenced: Anthrax, Kurt Cobain, Def Leppard, The Killers, Green Day, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, Muse, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Styx, Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Van Halen and Dream theater.
Answer :
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
That was my answer....I was prepared to write this big old blurb about why he is....but it looks like I don't need to convince you : DD
Just one reason is Bohemian Rhapsody alone. I mean, who can honestly come up with every single part of that song in thier head??
Answer :
Chuck Berry or Les Paul >Mercury did a lot of good things But real rock 'n roll wasn't one of them
>>
Update :Are you guys joking?
There hasn't been a rock guitarist in the past 50 years that didn't learn to play on the instrument that Les Paul invented and perfected
There hasn't been rock band in the past 50 years that didn't use some of the recording techniques that Les Paul invented and perfected.
http://www.lespaulbiography.com/
There also hasn't been a rock band in the past 50 years that didn't cut their teeth playing Chuck Berry songs first.
