not really sure what power metal exaclty sounds like...want to give an example of a few power metal bands? ill see if I can give you some more... probably wont be able to though ><

Savatage, 24 Seven, Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, DIO, Sabbath, 10 Bay 4, AC/DC (of course), Accept, Kemelot, Lizzy borden (awesome), Liege Lord, Metal Church, Drowning Pool, Omen, Opeth, Pretty Maids, Rage, Saxon, Symphony X, Stormwatch, Steel, Vicious Rumors, Warrior, Yngwie Malmsteen, Racer X, Armoured Saint...I could go on.

Some might disagree with the "power" designation on some of those, but they are all awesome bands. Check out some Savatage first, they are one of my favorites and they have been very influential. You have probably heard christmas in sarajevo by them, check them out on youtube before you spend your $$'s

PS. I'm going to see Seether, staind, and papa roach next weekend...awesome

nice .. I was thinking more along the lines of bands like Altaria, DragonForce, Virtuocity, Wintersun, Kotipelto, Sonata Arctica, Revolution Renaissance, Avantasia, Adgar, Rhapsody of Fire, Edguy, Warmen, Elvenking, Falconer, Axenstar, Widescreen Mode, Twilight Guardians, Twilightning, Royal Hunt, Stratovarious, Dionysus, Silent Force, Racer X etc. ^^. if anyone can tell me some bands that sound like them I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! =)

WOW! Lol. thanks for all of those!!! I'll check them all out later on when I get home from school ^^
