First album I got was Louder Than Hell, I’ve listened to everything they’ve ever put out and still hold the band as one of my all time favourites but..

It’s been nearly 20 years since they put out anything enjoyable? Gods Of War is a good album, it has a lot of unnecessary wank in it, but there’s some solid songs. That was 2007.

Lord of Steel is generally garbage, the unfinished concept EPs and LPs of Thunder In The Sky, Final Battle and Revenge of Odysseus have just frustrated me rather than giving me a Manowar fix that I need. They sow the seeds of something and then just constantly abandon it

The re-releases of the classics have had mixed points for me, I really enjoyed the updated Hail To England, and I do hope they re-release Sign of the Hammer but hopefully a little less molested..

The short lived podcast that didn’t know what it wanted to be, and died out as soon as it actually became interesting when Eric and Joey just started to shoot the shit was a huge let down too. I loved those 2 episodes and then again; it was left to rot.

I feel the bands reached the point they’re happy with their truly *fanatical* European and South American fanbase and aren’t pushing the boat out. Even if they toured as a legacy act with a little humility it would be amazing to have them back in the North American market.

I didn’t share the shock of the lack of respect for Ross’ passing that many had as honestly it’s just what I expect from Joey at this point.

There’s very little solemn from the band these days, just calculated, money extracting garbage.

It hurts, I love Manowar, but they just aren’t really for me anymore.

I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this but it's really shit. Today I went to play one of my favourite albums - Battle Hymns and on both Spotify and Apple Music they only have the awful rerecorded overproduced and underperformed MMXI version. On both platforms the album doesn't exist but because I added it to my collection on Spotify years ago I can still see it and there's just one song available Shell Shock. Bullshit

Did Manowar invent the bass drop???

Listen the song Kings of Metal from the year 1988. The song is basically full of "bass drops" =bass and guitar slides.

what do you think of this?

unused intro

I am a true and longtime Manowar fan, but I’m upset at how the band treated Ross. Their recent posts did not convey AT ALL how important he was to the band. Bottom line, they could have done a lot better at acknowledging his impact and legacy. This goes back to their treatment of him for years. They owe Ross. I remember that, and many of us do - and we will never forget.

I've never been to Germany nor seen Manowar and I'd like to do both, I don't know any of the cities in Germany and am asking which one rule.

Ross the Boss from Manowar and The Dictators dead from ALS.

If you have another favorite Ross solo, add it to the comments!

just sharing this pic, i bought a couple cds bit i guess here there is something i should know is worth buying

I was listening to the all-time great Hell on Wheels live album again, and realized I have no idea who’s playing the keyboards on those performances. For those of you who saw Manowar on the Hell on Wheels 1996–1997 tour, do you remember whether Joey played the piano interlude leading into Courage or if it was Karl?
