I do have this, I have been getting flooded with emails asking for a
trade.. 2 weeks ago I lost my job and are having a very hard time finding
another. (its also doesnt help that I graduate from college in 6 months,
I cant find a joe job right now either) Whenever I can trade again, you
guys will be the first to know.
Off to the city again.

I agree. Power-Metal can be monotonous but the great bands make it a
wonderful thing. However, since when have the bands you mentioned ever
been power metal??? Power-Metal is characteristic of very heavy
distortion, double bass, very groove oriented metal with the melody (if
there is any) provided by the vocalist or cookie monster impersonator.
Pantera, Diecast, Diesel Machine, Machinehead, are without a doubt
Power-Metal.
Kamelot, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Rhapsody, Angra, and Symphony-X are all
awe inspiring bands that kick ass. Yet, to call them "power metal" is a
stretch. Almost like calling Poison "thrash metal".
IMHO
