hmm I didn't like avantasia that much... the metal opera's I love are AINA and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra "Beethoven's Last Night"

Good choices. I still don't know where the fuck my Aina CD is. :( I swear it's in another CD case, but with 5,000 to sort through...I think it'll be a long while before I find it again.

Don't forget Missa Mercuria, one of my fave metal operas!

TSO keeps squawking about their new album Nightcastle, which is long overdue. It will be more along the lines of Beethoven's rather than their Christmas albums.

Well, I haven't even heard that title being thrown out there. Good to know. Yeah, the new TSO was supposed to be out in like June of 2005. I remember they announced it in like 2004 and I thought, "Damn, that's a long ways away." Now it's 2006. Jerks.

Yeah. [/hells yeah, in fact]

Oh no.

How could that project possibly be all bad? So so so many big names were involved.

PS Check your PMs.

I doubt even half of them wrote anything on it. At least I hope not, that thing was a fucking travesty. I only paid 50 cents for it at a Goodwill Store, and still felt ripped off.

That song is a great tune. Come on. Aren't you like 17? What possessed you buy it? I don't think I've ever even seen that thing anywhere to buy it. I'll give you $0.75 for it.

Sorry to bring up old shit, but I'm 24. No, I'll keep it just for the times I'm loathing myself and want to wallow in pain for 5 minutes.

I wasn't insulting you by asking that. I thought you were 17 and thought it odd that someone so young would have that. Even for a 24 year old it's not something I'd expect.

Great song, though! :roll:

Look I think this genre should be retired. Pompous overly symphonic heavy metal is a cancer on the community and needs to be stopped before people can no longer take heavy metal seriously.

I was just about to mention that one, one of my favourites as well. What I would really like to hear is another rock opera by Nikolo Kotzev in the veins of Nostradamus.
And I would love to hear another rock opera by Edguy. Avantasia part 3 is obviously out of the question, the story has already been told. But something in the style of "Judas at the Opera" and "The Seven Angels". :drool:

In your worthless opinion.

I almost mentioned Nostradamus but I was afraid it would be too "rock" for the MR metal crowd which tends to lend more toward extreme. Kotzev sure made a winner with that album. But it's definitely prog rock, nothing really close to metal except for a couple of songs.

Hey, Eyesore, if you want to check out Missa Mercuria, there are song samples here:

I don't care, I'm content to wait any number of years for a new TSO record, because I know it'll be GREAT!! and anyway, I prefer BLN to any of the christmas cds...
