Best Old School Metal Ballad

[chuck norriss]

Not that there's new school--none that I know of. Nu metal doesn't do ballads do they? They just drink blood & make t-shirts.

I can only think of one "old school" metal ballad, and it's not on the list. Possibly the first.



Changes, Black Sabbath.

There's no better than Boston's "More Than A Feeling" (to me, of course).

While I do not dispute the greatness of that song, I can't think of Boston as metal. I'm not sure the song quite qualifies as a ballad. Feel good rock 'n roll anthem?

I agree, but I decided to mention it because neither Mötley Crüe nor Cinderella are metal to me (same for Scorpions).

Remember tomorrow... Maiden
Iron horse... Motorhead

I can dig it.

"Cups and Cakes" by The Thamesmen

Scorps in the lead. I tried to convince my friend Sara to cover Goodbye to Romance in an indie/folk style. She usses a toy piano & a DB. I think it would work.

Pantera's "this love" from vulgar display of power.

Scorps, Holiday. Close the thread.

That's metal?
I love Boston, but I would not class it as old school metal.

Probably some Scorpions. They had their share of ballads...

In your park.
Holiday.
Still loving you...

See post #5.

[Tupac]

Ehem... where are Fade to Black or at least One by Metallica? Those are the quintessential metal ballads.

[FutureTense]

Would Skid Row - I Remember You count? Not sure if they'd classify as metal enough.

Voted Scorpions. Just was curious.

[Root 5]

'The Price" by Twisted Sister!

over 'n out.

[The Impostor]

Psychotic Waltz - I Remember surely is one of my favourites, extremely underrated band in my opinion.
Judas Priest has some amazing stuff too, like Dreamer Deceiver.

What's that skid row one?

EDIT: didn't read properly... Already listed!
