feeling in a reflective mood.
can anyone suggest a favourite rock ballad? obviously theres many, but which one really brings a metaphoric tear to the eye, and some passionate playing?
only tunes from real rock or metal bands - nothing typically emo/indy ;)
theres absolutely hundreds of good ones of course... i find it hard to pick just one myself..
i think i'll go with 'angel' by judas priest
(but i do have big a soft spot for 'wind of change')
-
Does Cemetary Gates count as a ballad? :P
-

'pantera' or 'the smiths'?
-
Pantera obviously :D
-
Pantera obviously :D
phew :lol:
i think that counts as a ballad, some might say its a borderline case though ;)
-
I think Cemetary Gates is a ballad for sure, it's a metal ballad but it sure moves me!
Would it be too lame and cheesey to say Every Rose Has It's Thorn? Screw it, I'll say it anyway!

great choice - big guitar lead!! man, i forgot about this song since i was at school!
-
When the smoke is going down - Scorpions
(given that Stairway to Heaven, the greatest song in the world, may not be mentioned)
-
Love bites - Def Leppard :roll:
Sorry if that's too cheesey
Nothing Else Matters rocks too for a ballad :twisted:
-
"I'm Easy" by Faith No More. It doesn't bring a tear to the eye and it's a cover version but man, it's funny.
And then there's "Estranged" by Guns n' Roses wich, sometimes, can bring a tear to my eye.
-
Love bites - Def Leppard :roll:
Sorry if that's too cheesey
i think cheese is totally ok if its a rock ballad - one of the few genres where this ok :)
estranged is a sad one indeed.
edited to remove sarcastic 80s comment :)

Love bites - Def Leppard :roll:

Def Leppard rock my spandex off!!
-
I'm not a fan of ballads but if I had to choose one it might be "You Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" by Cinderella.
-
For me, there's one that's WAAAAAY above all others:
Still In Love With You - Thin Lizzy
The version from the Live and Dangerous album. If you've never heard it, get a listen. THE most superb playing, tone and feel. Awe inspiring.
-
Love song acdc..does that count
also Angel or what it takes aerosmith
-
Speaking of Aerosmith...........'Dream On'
A classic that stil moves.
-
Here's a blast from the past..........
Broken Heart by White Lion :P :roll:
-
Here's a blast from the past..........
Broken Heart by White Lion :P :roll:
goddamn, thats a fine tune. never heard it before - just youtube'd it
i'm into all the suggestions i tried out - a bkp rock ballad compilation would be 1000x better than most of the cr@p on the market!!! :)
-
let's see,
Forever Free, W.A.S.P.
Rock Me, Great White
She Only, Great White
In A Darkened Room, Skid Row
She's An Angel, Love/Hate
Bringin' On The Heartbreak, Def Leppard
Ballad Of Dwight Fry, Alice Cooper
Underwater World, Hanoi Rocks
Think that'll do for now. hmmm, mostly eighties there. has the rock ballad become extinct?
-
If you want the the most cheesy most ballad metal song ever it would have to be whitesnakes here I go again - the third version of course. (or is this love?)

i suppose that metal and hard rock as we knew it in the 70s and 80s, or even the 90s has dissappeared.
i'm sure some of the songs emo and indy bands are kranking out could be considered rock ballads - but they are not in this same kind of tradition. cheesy as they are, most of the songs mentioned on this thread manage to sound optimistic and powerful and might drive people to get over some sort of heartbreak or sad event. some very potent material indeed, very musical and well arranged. i've had that white lion tune on repeat for 5 or 6 times :)
-
How about Sweet Child o' Mine? Or November Rain?
-
slither....velvet revolver
-
hey stop slagging def leppard!
:lol:
oh, i remember you by skid row is a good one.
heaven by warrant.
more than a feeling by boston.
miles away by winger.
more than words, extreme.
hold the line by toto.
most van hagar songs.
mr big, to be with you.
wait by white lion.
alone again, dokken.
two steps behind, when love and hate collide, have you ever needed someone so bad, def leppard (love bites has already been mentioned, haha).
don't cry, g n r.
probably a bunch of other obvious ones.

Bat
Out
Of
Hell.
-
these songs are all so, soooo bad. just terrible
-
power ballads are amazing. EDIT: apart from bat out of hell, i hate that.
-
oh, forgot a good one! Heartbreak Station by Cinderella!
of course they're terrible, that's what's so great about them! :wink:
-
this whole 'so terrible it's great' thing has to be something you guys have got past by now...? I thought it was funny too, for about a week
-
this whole 'so terrible it's great' thing has to be something you guys have got past by now...? I thought it was funny too, for about a week
some things are so terrible they're awful, some things are so terrible they're good! it's personal judgement.
i think a lot of us here were into the eighties/ early nineties rock bands when every album had at least one overblown ballad. some of them, like the album version of November Rain (the old acoustic demo is much better) are so overblown they're just cr@p! and if, say the Spice Girls had done Every Rose Has It's Thorn we'd have hated it! but this was the music of our youth, and that makes it exempt from any taste or judgement we've developed since! :)
-
i can understand that. blink182 are kings
-
i can understand that. blink182 are kings
see what i mean? my now finely honed taste and judgement goes Bleauh!!! at the very thought of them!! :lol:
-
some of them maybe cheesy or cringeworthy - but damn, i'm not ashamed to say i like them!
its true the suggestions went in a pretty downhill direction, but there been some great tips... for example the thin lizzy track. pretty sweeping to say they're all bad.
-
Don't Believe a Word.
Metaphor and Come Clarity by In Flames are pretty good.
To rid the Disease and In my time of Need by Opeth.
Peepshow by Sikth.
-
Televators - The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium (the saddest song EVER! Screw your Gloomy Sundays this is depressing stuff)
The Spirit Carries On - Dream Theater - Metropolis 2000 (the most uplifting song ever!)
-
Ozzy Osbourne - mama I'm comin home
maybe Def Leppard - to late for love
Whitesnake - Here I go again!!!
-
Spinal Tap's Just Begin Again is truly cringeworthy.
-

Agreed on all those. Respect, brother.
I'd like to add:
WHITESNAKE
-Here I Go Again
-The Deeper the Love
-Is This Love?
-Crying in the Rain
-Now You're Gone
-Sailing Ships (one of my favourite songs ever)
Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune
Mr Big - Just Take My Heart, Nothing But Love
Alice Cooper - Might Aswell Be on Mars, Only My Heart Talkin' (this man really is underrated as a songwriter)
Firehouse - Love of a Lifetime
Dream Theater - Another Day
-
Another Day has a great opening but then dies on it's arse IMO.
-
Ahh man. It has one of Petrucci's best solos ever. :(
-
Any Def Leppard ballad.
Hollow by Pantera is great.
Song for love and More than words by Extreme.
18 and life, Skid Row.
Heaven, Bryan Adams.
Who wants to live forever, Queen
-
18 and life by Skid Row is untouchable.
-
^ Yes it is. I guess I just didn't think of classifying it as a ballad.
Also,
Yngwie Malmseen - Save Our Love, Like an Angel
-
power ballads are amazing. EDIT: apart from bat out of hell, i hate that.
If we're talking Meatloaf...
Two out of Three Ain't Bad
Heaven Can Wait
But I can't stand Paradise by the Dashboard Light...
-
Ahh man. It has one of Petrucci's best solos ever. :(
Yeah, I agree on that. But the song as a whole isn't as complete as TSCO. As Dream Theater ballads go it isn't the worst one though.
-
Here's another one. It's so good it's wrong or so wrong it's good.
'More Than Words' Extreme.
-
That is an awesome song.
Any man who has not played 'More Than Words' on an acoustic guitar to woo a lady obviously has no sense of exploiting his guitar talents :roll:
-
err.... I doubt not many of you have heard it but
Bathory - Ring Of Gold
then
Rainbow - Rainbow Eyes
Place Of Skulls - The Black Is Never Far
Savatage - Sleep
Pain Of Salvation - Undertow
Opeth - To Bid You Farewell
Nightingale - Alonely and To My Inspiration
Blind Guardian - Harvest Of Sorrow
and as far as that 80's stuff is concerned
Cinderella - Don't Know What You Got (Till it's gone) is untouchable imo
-
:D The problem with ballards is they just became so predictable particuly in the mid 80`s. Every Metal band had to release a ballard it was just so boring & cheese making ! This is when you get "Every Rose Has its Thorn" & every other cheese making song you can think of. Aerosmith are by far the worst offenders.
More Than Words - Extreme simply the best ballard written in the last 20 yrs. A truely great song.
try & get " The Last Rose Of Summer" by Judas Priest off of the Sin After Sin Album. again Leppards "Bringin` On The Heartbreak" is a great tune as well.
Or Whitesnakes "`Aint Gonna Cry No More " or even `Aint No Love In The Heart Of The City"
:D 8)
-
Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune
Rainbow - Rainbow Eyes
+1 to both of those for certain, and lots of other things already mentioned.
White Lion - When The Children Cry (although I haven't heard it for the best part of 20 years, so sorry if it's a cheesefest :oops: )
King's X - Goldilox
UFO - Love To Love
Scorpions - We'll Burn The Sky, In Trance, Born To Touch Your Feelings, Always Somewhere... actually there are far too many awesome Scorpions ballads to list, they're the kings!
and...
Pride And Glory - Fadin' Away (that actually does choke me up every time I listen to it, for some reason :cry: . Proves that Zakk isn't just a beery hellraiser, too)
-
these songs are all so, soooo bad. just terrible
Even Cemetary Gates? :(

In my time of Need by Opeth.

And also one of Symphony X's ballads... maybe Paradise Lost or one of their many others. Romeo and Allen, what a combo! Amazing live i must add. :)
-
Bathory - Ring Of Gold
I was contemplating whether or not to include that, but decided not to since it's really more folk than rock/metal ballad. Great song indeed though.

Ah, but Winger have Reb Beach and Bon Jovi have Richie Sambora, a man who wears very silly hats and has stars on his fretboards. Winger have the fantastic Rod Morgenstein and BJ have a pet gorilla called Tico. Both bands have fairly embarrassing singers, I must admit, but it's not Kip's fault he looks like the fifth Gibb brother.
Hmm. These aren't very convincing arguments, are they? :? .
TBH, I did quite like the first three Bon Jovi albums (side two of Slippery.. is awful, though). I went off them for good when Jon Bon decided he was either Bruce Springsteen or Southside Johnny (but with poofy hair) and kept wittering on about Noo Joisey (naming an album after it was really crass).
-

Also I still love You - Kiss
Still Loving You - Scorpions
Winds of Change- Y&T

see, to me the silly hats and stars are cool, in a dodgy 80's kind of way.
agreed that reb beach is cooler than sambora, but sambora is pretty cool too. :)
EDIT: i realise i have pretty much lost what little credibility i had left now...
:lol:
-
sambora is pretty cool too. :)
Dunno about cool, but he's certainly RICH. And this proves it - spot the millionaire:

I was going to say at last, a bloke my age who's in worse shape than me! :)
But I checked and he's actually a few years older - so I could be looking at my future....

One of my fave power ballads.
Kingdom Come - What Love Can Be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9JOd6qVq9w

-
W.A.S.P. - Hold on to my heart
W.A.S.P. - Keep Holding On
Great ballads. And also: Metal Church - Gods of Wrath (I'm not sure if it's a ballad or not) - just listen to the solo - you face will melt instantly :-)
-
I like 'I Still Think About You' by Danger Danger. Andy Timmons is just a phenomenal player
-
Oh FFS - stop knocking 80s bands because you think others might frown on you liking them
Absolutely nothing wrong with all the bands like Cinderella, Poison etc
It's not "ironic" or embarrassing to love their songs - they are just good songs and liking them is totally understandable
Heres a few good 80s examples
still loving you - scorpions
I still love you - Kiss
more than words - extreme
I remember you skid row
is this love Whitesnake
house of broken love - great white
save your love great white
angel song - great white
soldier of fortune - deep purple
changes - black sabbath
stranger to love - black sabbath
dont know what you've got - cinderella

PDT_003
Exactly.
Many of the songs could be reorchestrated into many different forms or performed solo and they would STILL stand up as GREAT SONGS.
Let's see how timeless $%&#ing djenting is in 10 years.
-
Whitesnake - Too Many Tears.
http://youtu.be/e9G_97GRUXc
But....
I much prefer the David Coverdale Solo Album version... a bit more introspective. It gives me chills.

Woman in Love, Barbera Streisand, ok it's not really rock but she rips at the end of the song. I generally hate ballads. 8)
-
Here's some, I have to say I like the 80s a lot, just simple fun and rockin songs, having a good time, which is what it is all about in my opinion, anyway, some ballad/slower songs I'll throw in.
Def Leppard
-When Love And Hate Collide
-Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad
-Where Does Love Go When It Dies
Winger - Miles Away
Ratt - One Step Away
Kix - Tear Down The Walls
Britny Fox - Dream On
Aerosmith - Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
-

Whitesnake - 'till the end of time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToEtXEuGttw)

Dokken - jaded heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC_Lo0SvUpg)
Def Leppard - too late for love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHA1Cv9XsBk)
Oh and FWIW, the '80s were f**king awesome. Some great bands around at that time.
Edit: Ok so most of mine have been mentioned... Still, worth linking again.

Anyone said "I would do anything for love (but I won´t do that)" by Meatloaf yet? Caus that is so very very uber to me....
Sides that (and forgive me for straying a bit from hard rock and metal at times):
Avantasia - Farewell (so very goddamn cheesy...it´s kinda great)
Avantasia - The story ain´t over
Avantasia - Runaway train (this one is just so very powerful and overproduced. Amazing singers too. It is so very close to being a parody though....as Avantasia often is, but I love it)
Bruce Spingsteen - Thunderroad (the ´75 Hammersmith Odeon version is $%&#ing fantastic)
Guns n´ Roses - November Rain
In Flames - Chosen Pessimist (not exactly a typical ballad, but hell, it gets me, especially live)
Jimmy Eat World - Invented (not hard rock or metal, but great ballad, especially the break)
Mr. Big - All the way up (the other Mr. Big songs have already been named)
Metallica - Hero of the Day (the S&M version...went with me through some dark times)
Muse - Starlight
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (when you talk about tearjerkers)
Sonata Arctica - Gravenimage
Stone Sour - Hesitate (bloody heck, this gets me)
Stone Sour - Zzyzx Rd.
Stone Sour - Bother (Cory Tailor even had to stop playing cause his voice started cracking up. He was crying when he played it live...the crowd singing was incredible, insanely touching moment)
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Van Canto - Spelled in Water
-
Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow
Deep Purple - Mistreated, Child in Time
Bon Jovi - Never Say Goodbye
Badlands - Fire and Rain (yes, I know it's a James Taylor cover but what interpretation)
Gary Moore - Empty Rooms
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
Most of the others that came to mind were already quoted - great selection BTW.
Cheers Stephan
-
I don't know if this song applies to this group as it has no singing in, but I do think it's a ballad.
Gary Moore - The Loner
-
Pearl Jam - Black.
Maybe the greatest rock ballad of the last 20 years. Its soaring, emotive, doesn't resort to any cliche and has lyrics in it which anybody who has ever loved and lost will relate too. It hasn't dated in 20 years either.
-
Some more:
Blackfoot - Highway Song
Molly Hatchet - Fall of the Peacemakers
Warrant - Sometimes She Cries
Nightranger - Sister Christian
Dio - Don't Talk to Strangers
Cheers Stephan
-
I'm sure some of these must have been mentioned already:
Y&T - I Believe In You
Journey - Lights
Survivor - I Never Stopped Loving You
Kansas - Reason To Be
Kansas - Dust In The Wind
-
if you want utter cheese of the very highest order,
Tigertailz: Heaven
it's great though :)

Savatage, Alone You Breathe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4_WVFWaLsQ). Jon's lament for his brother, Criss.
Savatage, Believe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGn8_g_fG1g). Song about perdition and redemption.
Skid Row, I Remeber You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivFYVAntpw0). One of my favourite 'power ballads'
Evergrey Trilogy Of The Damned (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ya3A1Ci4r4). Not for the easily depressed; lots of Catholic guilt!!
Testament, The Ballad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4BNTTejNL0).
Death Angel, Seemingly Endless Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEJwW32TeOg&feature=related). Tied with Testament for best thrash band ever, but they have some great downtempo material, too!!
Rush, Tears (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdtYyuLtjbw).

Opeth - 'Burden'
Metallica - 'Nothing Else Matters'
Nevermore - 'The Heart Collector'

I concur. A cut above the other hair metal.

Gotta be honest, and no offence meant, but I never liked 'em. They've got too much of that Rod Stewart/Faces/Stones sound for me.
Rock'n'Roll with too much Roll and not enough Rock, I think.

I have to say I'm not too keen on that whole pub rock scene...

Gotta be honest, and no offence meant, but I never liked 'em. They've got too much of that Rod Stewart/Faces/Stones sound for me.
Rock'n'Roll with too much Roll and not enough Rock, I think.
Same here. I was subjected to them live once (opening for Whitesnake) and they made me want to stick a screwdriver in my ear or something :?
That very same thing happend to me!
