Helloween was Pretty much the only 'power metal band' I used to listen a lot. I know there were more famous bands such as Iron Maiden, etc.. BUT still HELLOWEEN will never be forgotten in my childhood memories for sure. Hah!

Michael Kiske - first/former vocalist

Andi Deris - second/current vocalist

MAN, they were so young and hawt in these pictures. Now they are old and just a few years younger than my parents.

Well, so-called true fans of Helloween assert that mister Kiske was the best but you shuda know that Andi is awesomer broski in his own way. I am also a true fan since I still have all their albums except the very latest ones.

This has always been an interesting distinction to me. Bands like Maiden, and at one point Metallica/Megadeth/pantera, also used that term but in the last decade or two its fallen out of favor. Maiden is typically now classified as a more generic "heavy metal" while things like (prototypical) helloween is classified under the same category Rhapsody as some kind of "new age power metal". That shit with harps and strings and pr guys describing it all as epic.

I've never been able to figure out if there is anything to that, or if its just the difference between how bands describe themselves and how critics want to fit them in. The line must be somewhere between how the band grows and where they catch popular thought.
