Well, duh. You're not supposed to take it seriously. You're supposed to indulge your inner dork (fantasy and/or metal) and put a shit eating grin on your face. They just make me happy. Their obvious passion for metal just brings back that feeling of when I was fourteen and just discovering metal and everything was new and magical and I was just giddy about listening to new bands all the time. I love music even more these days, but I can't help but be a little jaded more often than not, and Manowar makes me feel like a kid again.
