message: "Following this, Manowar joined a new label, signing their contracts in blood."
"The second album Into Glory Ride was the first to feature Scott Columbus on drums. Because of his viciousness behind the drums, standard kits simply collapsed. Custom stainless steel kits had to be built just for him."
This sounds ludicrous to me.  At best, if it's actually true then it's worded poorly... 203.132.66.236 11:41, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fancruft? 

message: Some perceive Manowar to be "satanic" in lyrical orientation. The vast majority of their lyrics are, of course, "sword and sorcery," though many of the lyrics on their first album were about Vietnam.
The only overtly "satanic" songs I can recall to memory are "Bridge Of Death" and "The Demon's Whip". I remember a 1984 Kerrang! interview with Joey DeMaio where he said that "Bridge of Death" is "the ultimate Satanic song...it goes one step beyond Venom and Mercyful Fate...hopefully they'll now top that and force us to come up with something even more stunning!"
I'm assuming that these lyrics are just for "shock value"...such an obviously imaginative band is capable of far more than tired satanic dreck.--MarshallStack 04:29, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Satanic" lyrical influences? 

message: one of the band's performances was measured at 129.5 decibels.
Is this correct? This number is above the Threshold of pain.
Over a lengthy career MANOWAR, having held the Guinness Book of World Records honour of "World’s loudest band" being captured at a mind numbing 129.5 dB, have steadfastly refused to compromise and as such have built up a staunch fanbase.
Taken from the bands bio on the RockDetector web-site here: http://www.rockdetector.com/officialbio,5585.sm
As far as I know, they've held it twice on two separate occasions, but due to the fact that this is a potentially hazardous record to break Guinness have stopped recognising it.  Now I believe a neo-punk band from the UK have it (unofficially, of course!).  I don't have the reference for this to hand.

This is my first wiki contribution so if I did anything wrong plz tell me.Also my english kinda suck so please correct any mistakes that I might have made.I added to the article some info about gods of war(which I am gonna change after the album is finally released) and i have also added the current tour dates !!!

message: The biography part contained a lot of outdated information on the next album. Since it is already out, I removed that information and replaced it with a link on the new album. I believe that the removal of other information is no loss, since both the EP and the DVD that were mentioned there before are mentioned in the discography.
Funny fact: The album was already listed in the discography, but it seems no one was willing to remove two full paragraphs and leave only one sentence. Call it practicing to be bold. Or revert it. But I think the information (can still be found in )I removed might better be placed on the Gods of War page, in case someone wants to keep it. Tierlieb 20:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: First; sorry for my english - im european 
Manowar formed the True metal wich is mostly classic heavy metal with power influences&lyrics (and symphonic/classic)
True metal stands not for "its the best an only one" how many are thinking, it is more a revive of classic/oldschool heavy metal and they 
Manowar first said on "hail to England" album "We are Manowar. We are invincible. Death to False Metal. Hail to England" wich can be interprated as they are playing the "true" metal
on their following albums was often the statement with the true classic heavy metal and death to the false metal (Hairspray Metal, Nu Metal und Crossover)in order to keep the musical niveau (does this exist in eng.?) 
With the "kings of metal" album. they called their fans "true metal people" 
since then the notion became etablished 
Wacken open air also has a "true metal stage" 
Manowar also said that heavy metal came from classic music
True metal lyrics are about fighting , honor etc and often dragons&wizards fantasy 
True metal is a living adjustment for really true metal fans 
"If you are not into metal , you are not my friend" Against posers and false metal 
"Whimps and posers - get out leave the hall" are the parols
also to really respect every fan of real metal 
"Brothers of metal" is a keyword - u also could add it to manowar fan descriptions 
Often are true metal bands&Manowar called posers because they think that they`re saying their the only one and best metal but this isnt the sense of "true metal" 
True metal bands
self named 
    * Metal Force
    * Manowar
    * Stormwarrior
    * Teräsbetoni
    * Unrest
    * Wizard
fan named 
    * Grave Digger
    * Hammerfall
    * Iron Fire
    * Virgin Steele
Hope I could help 
most is from german wiki
Even though i dont think this should be an article, the band Cage often mention playing 'True Metal' in their songs, and in an interview Wojtek from Lost Horizon says they play 'True Progressive Metal'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.186.150 (talk) 07:42, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: WTF

message: On Dawk Stillwell's website forum (he's Manowar's engineer since the beginning) he answered a question on Scott Columbus' absence. His response: "DAWK SAYS:
HE'S LOST ALL OF HIS FAMILY IN THE LAST YEAR...
HE FELT THAT HIS MIND WOULD NOT BE ON HIS PERFORMANCE...
HE'LL BE BACK............
I THINK RHINO DID A INCREDIBLE JOB... ;D
YOURS,,, JOHNDAWKSTILLWELL... "
Considering that in studio they are using what appears to be loops and Donnie Hamzik will be this year's tour drummer it may be quite some time before Scott Columbus finds his way back to Manowar, if ever.

replies: text: I think there's just too many "metal genres" period.  I think genres are only good in the event that they are useful for categorizing music, so they have to actually mean something.  Bands are never pidgeon-holed into specific styles, and all bands should have a pretty wide range.  Maybe these genres could be a on a song-by-song basis, but when talking about an entire band's career, I think it's better to keep it simple.  The to me seems to be:  what label should Manowar have so that "outsiders" would understand what the music might sound like in case they're interested?  I think "Metal" or "Heavy Metal" is the most appropriate overall.  "Power Metal" is a moving target also, if you ask me.  Angelo  20:54, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Interview with Scott Columbus
Published by : vampire-magazine.com
Interviewer : Toby
Published on : December 2002
Can you tell me the story about the departure after "Kings Of Metal" when Rhino came in?
Scott: I have children and one was very sick It’s very simple, you make a decision that I couldn’t very well make a record and touring and worrying about what’s going on home. I took that time to handle that situation. A friend of mine Rhino, a nice fellow and very good. Then when Manowar was gun showing with the "Triumph Of Steel Tour" and getting ready to make a new record. He said how is the situation at home. I said it’s fine you don’t have to worry anymore. I offered him to make a record tour in 1995 and he said it was OK.
Was it an agreement, before that Rhino was a temporary replacement?
Scott: Yes…  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.57.242 (talk) 00:18, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The list of bands which cite Manowar, as an influence appears to be correct in the sense that each one is justified by an external source, but seems to me wildly excessive in length. I would much rather see only the most notable bands included there. I don’t know how one would judge this notability, and I am not versed enough in the scene to make the decisions myself. However, a good starting point could be the removal of every band without Wikipedia page. I still think it would be excessive in length!
