^ I agree ... Impellitteri is not really Power Metal. But I must admit that I only heard a few songs, so I might be wrong.

American power metal is quite an enigmatic subgenre. Some think its already extinct.
 
It had just more stuff in common with thrash, oui?
 
If, as some think, Nevermore or Iced earth are quite similar to/just are  american power metal, then I don't see that impellitteri come close to those bands...
 
Anyway Mike, what you opinion on this?
 
That band is not power metal by any means!!!

^ You're describing European Power Metal. There's also American Power Metal!

Hair metal.
 
NOT power
 
this is hair metal:
 
 
notice there is much less power & inertia involved: no more thundering, the rhythmic guitar is also less spectacular and powerful.
 
hair metal refers to bands who have a style beyond hard rock, although still being very near it at the same time; on the other hand, the  impellitterri's sound is too powerful and extreme to avoid the term "power" in their classification label; as I mentioned before, it contains some hard rock elements, but the guitarist's solo style is clearly in the same class as yngwie malmsteen; that's why they are beyond hair metal, although their rhythmic section is rather simple.
 
for those who think impellitteri is not a guitar hero, then check this out:
 
its not about fast shredding and the image, though it does look quite "hairy"Tongue
 
power metal = high pitched vocals, fast pace, double bass drums, upbeat tempo, soaring melodies, fantasy/s-f lyrics.
 
Impellitteri just don't keep up with that...Ouch

Few comments:

First; that Impellitteri song was nowhere near Power metal.

Secondly; it didn't have clean aggressive powerful metal riffs or thundering bass. Tongue More like uninspired, uninteresting, unimportant 80s style guitar playing and plain boring drumming. Didn't hear much of the bass but that's because of the sound quality.

And finally; you're way off saying "a very little number of bands can be categorized as power metal." That's simply not true. A very narrowminded comment IMO.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but Power Metal is a bit more diverse than you try to make us believe here. For a start, there's European Power Metal and American Power Metal. And Impelliteri are commonly not categorized as Power Metal ...

No. There are several options:

  • You think that Impelliteri are Power Metal
  • You think that most Power Metal bands suck, Impelliteri are better
  • something completely different
Please tell!LOL
 
no!
 
the title speaks by itself:
 
people seem to put every metal band in the power metal category; they do not realize or understand that there are some strict requirements, as i have explained above! I wanted to give an example in order to help people have a better discernment!
