Edguy & Warmen are Power Metal ...
That is basically very clean metal (no screaming, shouting etc.) which is very fast and very heavy on the drums (in warmen's case supported by out of the world keyboarding)
Let me know what you think
Power Metal
Here is what wikipedia has to say
Power metal, as the term is used today, places primary importance on an "epic" sound, usually at high speeds and with catchy melodies. Whereas most rock lyrics focus largely on "the real world" - personal experience, historical incidents, social commentary, etc. - power metal often treats cosmological or metaphysical themes. Many power metal songs draw inspiration from science fiction, mythology, and fantasy, and they tend to be more optimistic than most metal lyrics. Power metal vocals are generally "clean", as opposed to the growling vocals that characterize Death Metal, and are delivered by a trained vocalist. Following in the tradition of Bruce Dickinson and Rob Halford, power metal vocalists tend to sing in a high register, often in falsetto. Some singers, such as Hansi Kürsch of Blind Guardian, record multi-layered vocals reminiscent of Queen. Because of the primary importance of vocals in power metal, vocalists generally do not double as guitarists as in other styles of metal.
Power metal guitarists and bassists generally play rapid streams of notes, but change chords comparatively slowly, with a harmonic tempo of once per measure or slower. Fast and demanding guitar solos, however, are almost guaranteed.
Power metal drummers generally play with two bass drums for added speed, often playing a constant stream of sixteenth notes with snare drum accents on beats 2 and 4. Some bands defy this formula, but it is surprisingly universal.
Many bands also play with a keyboardist and a few, such as the Italian band Rhapsody, have been known to record with more symphonic elements. Rhapsody actually calls their style of music "Hollywood Metal," emphasizing its resemblance to modern film scores.
This style is most popular in Europe, Japan, and some countries of South America, and has a growing popularity in certain parts of North America.

5. Stranglehold-Ted Nugent
These are just 5 out of about a hundred that I could have used. Ask next week, and I'll have 5 different tunes, but they won't belong to any of the crap you teeny-boopers, Euro-rythmic, American hip-hop "wanna-bes" call music. Real music went away December 31, 1979, with a few exceptions: Alice in Chains, Metallica, Audioslave, Robert Plant, Nirvana, Foo-Fighters, Offspring, and a few more that I can't place right away....70s ROCKED!!!!!

Originally posted by NyxieReally? I love that track. You know they played the music for that track and then just got the three women to improvise something, and that was what they came up with. Truly amazing.
Wow I've never met anyone else who liked the great gig in the sky. It drives most of the people I know out of the room, and strangely enough I'm listening to darkside of the moon right now.
