To me the best one was “Good friends and battle axes” sorry it was Kings of Metal. Though Manowar has tens of great tracks. But to me the opener was Kings of Metal. It was end of 80sin my native city of Orenburg right on the border of Europe and Asia. Coming back from school I liked to sneack into record-store where they re-recorded cassettes, 90 or 60 minutes long. Two men worked there. One was old enough ( to read these words , there meaning will unfold , the second one was youngster of about 30 , both of them were long-haired. They loved rock very much. So that day there was a new record going on - a younger guy was sitting in his cabin having his bobbin band recorder behind him , he could hardly sit as music rocked him. He said that it was Manowar. So all I was to do was to ask my friends who of them had had this band . A close friend of mine gave me a casstette with Fighting the world and Kings of Metal. The track “When You are old enough .... Farther , I look up to You” have reminded me of Star Wars , a talk of Luce and Darth Vader. I really liked American power of the band : positivism, epic scale, heroism and “right in You face” message. Since that I was among “true metal people thats Manowar’s crowd”. A heavy metal of a healthy man. Still the depth of my heart was with big three German “mean machines” who tended to more dramatic and complicated touch. I mean Accept , Helloween and Warlock. Though it was Judas Priest who made me a metalhead , and I like Megadeth very much. Eventually I spent mane time listening to WASP, MARS, Alice Cooper and Cinderella. But if to name one American band , for me its Manowar. And to mention only one of their tracks is to mention Kings of Metal !

Fav Manowar song... ugh man, that is not easy, the have so many killer songs. Maybe Fighting the World... that was the first Manowar song I've ever heard and that bass tone kicked me out of this world. Or Hail and Kill... Or Carry On... Or The Gods Made Heavy Metal...

False metal ))) PS ... I still remember a line : We wear geans and leather Not crocodile clothes Message is clear , we are common guys. But for me, a soviet kid of 80s , who had no info about crocodile clothes, “jeans and leather” sounded like “wow, they are real fat cats, rich and famous “ ))

Here is the official statement: After 18 months of tireless work and preparation we arrived at the Hellfest site yesterday, ready to play today. The Hellfest organizers obstructed our efforts to put on the epic show we had promised. Despite what you may hear or read, the Hellfest organizers did have control over the circumstances that prevented our performance. We always have and always will fight to give our fans 100%. Our French fans and press know, if MANOWAR come to France and are unable to perform, the fault does not lie with us. Remember the Élysée Montmartre. We are very sorry that you are being made to suffer. We want you to know that everything we do is for our fans. We stand together with all of you as we always have, and we will not allow anyone to lessen the quality of our shows. Be very sure the truth will come out! Thank you to the Greatest Fans In The World for your continued loyalty and support. Bull$hit - if you ask me

ok, first of all, i'm sure they did not put in 18 months of work just towards this show. from the things i'm reading from the metal voice site, manowar is just throwing a temper tantrum. they pulled out because they couldn't get the right sound on stage and they also couldn't be loud enough? but ALL of the other bands, including Kiss had no problem with it?!? really? i agree Tomcat. even though i really like manowar, this is complete bullsh*t.
