Haha, i remembered just now something that happened at their 2009 Bucharest concert, Joey pulled up a guy on stage and he had a Manowar shirt on, then told him to take it off "'cause it's a bootlegged piece of shit!" and then gave him the supposed "real" t-shirt. i saw the guy's first shirt model, it was on sale at the official festival stands guess it was a too good piece of his two-man show to let it slide haha.

EverythingManowar does on stage has been rehearsed before. Yes, alsothe guy or girl doing the guitar solo. It's funny how many people still fall for all those tricks whcih have been rehearsed ot death wiht their designated props.

21.01.2011 - 12:50 Written by RavenKing on 05.01.2011 at 03:34 This sums up everything about this band perfectly. I find Manowar as the most annoying band i can think of. And the most annoying thing is, (aside from their bullshit attitude) that they try to appear as great and talented musicians, while their songs are extremely easy to play, on any instrument, and they still try to make it as easy as possible. And fail. For example Joey plays a bass with extremely thin and small neck, i've never seen a bass guitar like that before, it's almost like a normal guitar. He keeps it really high, and uses a pick. And he still manages to get a crappy dirty unclean sound out of it. Wow. The guitarist, Karl, plays nothing but the very basic things, and he's solos are incredibly horrible. some of the sloppiest 3-string sweeps i've ever heard. So. That's their real talent, sucking beyond belief.

Nah, come on, this band is hilarious in all their cheesy marketing. Real funny shit, and that's why I listen to it sometimes (aside from nostalgia). I'm laughing at them and not with them though. And yeah, if you take my sporadic retard praising of Manowar seriously, there is probably something not right in your head... LOL GUYS! Manowar will lead the METAL CRUSADE AGAINST ALL THE POSERS and we will all be IN THE HALL AS KINGS OF METAL! WOHOOO! You can make a drinking game out of Brothers Of Metal that gets you really drunk though. You put on the song, and everyone drinks everytime they sing one of the words "brothers", "metal", "fighting", "power" or "steel". And yeah, that's about as much fun as you can have with Manowar, except if you want to laugh at them for being such failures. I find their recent music videos hilarious, but I wouldn't pay much for the albums...

The poserest(?) band of all time. When they say "Death to false metal" they should commit suicide.

27.01.2011 - 21:06 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 27.01.2011 at 21:00 They are my #1 fav, actually. And I absolutely knew you were going to say that. The thing is, I don't know of any other band that "officially" take themselves so seriously, but only manage to be so comical as Manowar. That's why I find them so funny. I can't laugh so much at Glam bands because they don't go around preaching how they are gods of metal.

29.01.2011 - 22:27 Written by Doc G. on 29.01.2011 at 19:29 I've seen people saying retarded things like "Black Metal, Death Metal or Thrash Metal is for posers and only traditional Heavy Metal is real and pure Metal" or "traditional Heavy Metal is the real shit and all other genres are only derivative from it and watered down versions of the original" and that "all metal sucks after the 80s" or that "metal is only noise nowadays and not music". How can someone ever think like that, do not ask me. I don't know. From my point of view, this school of thought is the epitome of stupidity and ignorance.

I have certainly seen Manowar fans referring to Slipknot and indeed a host of other bands as "false metal". Then again, Ive seen fans of other bands, and genres describing other genres/bands as "posers", and "false metal".

What the hell is "false metal"? What makes a band a "false metal" band? Or is any band that you don't happen to like automatically false metal as opposed to just a crappy band or simply a band you dislike? It does seem to me that the average metalhead is suffering from somekind of a delusion, thinking that metal as a genre is inherently superior to everything else (metal militia, anyone?) and calling a metal band false metal or pop metal is a great insult. If you ask me, then there are good and bad metal bands and that's it for metal bands. False metal only exists in the bizarro world, alongside pseudo house, fake electronical, bubble gum goth and silicone-jazz.

^ Totally agree with that post. I do think that the vast majority of people who use the term "false metal" use it to describe pretty much any metal that they dislike. Generally, people who use that term are the biggest posers you can get. lol

30.01.2011 - 14:44 Written by Angelic Storm on 29.01.2011 at 22:36 I sometimes use the term "false metal" the same way I use the terms "flowermetal" or "popmetal": to describe music that is simply too soft and pop-ish to be considered metal by any stretch of the imagination (you can include hard rock and cock rock here) even if the stuff comes from a band who released much heavier albums before or by a band who's supposed to be a metal band. I think the word "metal" is used way too loosely at times and applied to bands who barely have anything to do with metal music.
