I can imagine. They are pretty much the perfect example of a metal band that incorporated arena metal into their sound without becoming a sanitized, fluff metal band. There sound sounds like it's tailor-made for filling as big a space as possible. I know you probably wouldn't agree, but I'd love to see Manowar at a festival for the same reason. Not to mention I hear their shows are rather bizarre. One review of a live show talked about them battling vikings on stage, being killed, and then being resurrected on a viking ship. Even if you don't like Manowar, that must be one hell of a spectacle on a big enough stage.
