a thread to discuss the best songs that pay tribute to the songwriter's (or the character in the lyrics's) Father, pure and simple.



I know most people will spam Manowar here so i didn't make a poll

imo it's a tie between Mountains and Defender from Manowar, but i choose Mountains because it's more varied than Defender. it's also a very epic song and the emotion that Eric puts in the vocals is awesome.

I agree with you mountains is a great song one of my manowar favorite songs

Only Manowar song what I like lfrom other bands is Edge of Sanity ''Blood Of my Enemies''

What the hell do you mean by Father-tribute?

I was wondering the same thing. Is there a band called Father ?

Or is it about my/your/someone's father? If it's that, The Best Of Times by Dream Theater readily comes to mind.

Or is it about a god as a father figure ?

i haven't heard of a band called "Father"(apart maybe from Vader haha), and i'm pretty sure they, unlike some other controverted heavy metal group don't have songs named "Mountains" and "Defender"

so as a conclusion yeah it's a thread about songs which just make you remember your old man. and by old man i don't mean the resident fun-music-hating misanthropic doomster found on your local internet forum.

Well, as I said, The Best Of Times by Dream Theater.

Actually Vader is the Dutch word for Father

Okay now I understand what you mean. So please also explain it in your opening post cause now it isn't clear at all what you mean.
Btw not a single Manowar song is a tribute to my father since he is not a gay fur wearing poser (unlike Manowar)

Ok, what about "Father" by Manowar?

Like Father, Like Son by Exodus. Doesn't remind me of my father in particular, but of a friend's father.
It's about abuse as a child leading to violence, anger, etc. later in life.

Hi. "Mutter" from Rammstein is my choice. Oh... you said father. Perdon my German hehe. Joke. Noone really know for sure who their father is... hehehe. Not even Luke Skywalker.
