They're like ICP in that they're an embarrassment to the fans of their respective genres, but Manowar actually had a period where they were a genuinely creative band who had a sound that was original and not just a self-parody (though at no point in their career were they not cheesier than Gouda).
Think of them like a lowest-common denominator version of Judas Priest. And just like ICP many of their fans are morons who don't get how goofy they are (and it's questionable just how much the band itself understands this), but they also have a fanbase who understands this, but love them because of how hilariously ****ty they are (they're quite possibly my favorite band of all time).
In the meantime enjoy one of my favorite metal songs of all-time...
And also one of the greatest band photos ever. Only the 80s...

Lmao that looks like gay caveman porn. BUT, for the time period I get it.
I like them, Manowar it's like there's a layer of cheese on top of a really good dish but, the cheese is low quality and if you just dig in it's good eats.
Does that make sense?

Sorry man, recs are closed. They were open for a month. I know you weren't here but if I start reopening them every time someone new and cool arrives, I'll be all over the place. Anyway I have tons to do, and getting through them is a job in itself.

Alrighty then I understand I can see you have a whole ton of work on your shoulders.

As a compromise, you can rec me something and I'll review it in my "Bitesize" journal, if that's ok. Or there are two other things I can do: I can review your rec(s) in your thread, or in YorkeDaddy's "Review in the style of TH" one.
Also, Batty stop Manowarising my thread. Put your toys away when you're finished with them, or you won't be allowed to play with them any more.

I will seek out your Bitezise journal then no biggie. I'm not even sure how you keep up with all your projects TBH.

Batty and I are guys, just in case you wondered, and there's a helpful thread in the Lounge I think that lists who is who, to a degree.

Cool, and I decided not to paste that long paragraph it's really long. Basically I personally think it doesn't matter but, I guess it paints a more clear picture of someone if you know their gender, age, etc. Anyway, have fun doing recs!
