the onyl problem with Blind Guardian (and this is symtomatic of all power metal methinks) is that they're too cheesy by ME standards [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] and at best nothing more than 4th rate Iron Maiden ripoffs. I need only reitirate my praise for Summoning, a band whose entire artistic existence is centered around Tolkein and Middle-Earth and do it sounding very original and not cheesy at all [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
