CD 2 has more silent tracks "Master of the Wind", "Heart of Steel" sound very good live. They are good ballads. The last track "Crown And the Ring" souns like it would start suddenly. Well, royal track anyhow.

Manowar - 'Hell On Stage Live' (Metal Blade)
Ah,another live 2-CD release by yet another veteran metal band.'Hell On...' is a sixteen track assault that was recorded during their spring 1998 invasion tour of France,Spain,Germany,etc.I've heard that bands like Metallica and Pantera won't even consider touring w/Manowar,fearing that the TRUE metal ensemble just might upstage them.My choice cuts are "Metal Daze","Dark Avenger",the underground metal classic "Gates Of Valhalla(Cult Of The Damned)",the earth shaking "Blood of The Kings","Heart Of Steel" and "The Power".Only downside is that "Blow Your Speakers" isn't on here.All original line-up except guitarist Karl Logan.State of the art metal cover.

live in a metal valhalla
Every time I hear the wailling of Manowar's vaocalist, it makes my heart melt with envy. During this record you can feel the intensity that is put into Manowar's live preformances. This record almost didn't make it to the shelves due to record executives and accountants, but Manowar held strong for their fans. This record will have you raising your fists into the air and screaming at the top of your lungs for battle. Manowar is what every true metal grage band hopes to become, and so much more.

Fenomenos en vivo
No le habia prestado mucha atencion a esta agrupación hasta que se me ocurrió adquirir este disco. Heavy Metal puro!! y en vivo mucho mejor. "Metal Daze" tomada del Mounsters of Rock en Brasil, que manera de comenzar el disco!!. El segundo Cd comienza de igual forma, despues de escuchar "The Warrior's Prayer" (no es una canción, más bien es una historia contada sin musica), una introducción estupenda para "Blood of Kings". También posee solos de guitarras que te hipnotizan con "Sting of the Bumblebee", no se como alguien puede tocar guitarra con tanta velocidad!!. Estos son solamente ejemplos de lo que tiene el disco, para que perder más tiempo hablando del disco. Simplemente como lo dice la tapa interna del disco: debes escucharlo a alto volumen!!!).

Everything I could have expected
This live offering is Manowar's second live double-album release in a row, coming on the heels of 1998's _Hell on Wheels_. Not having a lot of familiarity with the band meant hearing most of these songs for the first time in the live setting. This really wasn't much of a concern though, as the production and mix is so good that in most places it doesn't even sound like a live album. The vocals were pretty decent throughout, and there were a couple of outstanding solos, nothing mind-blowing, but solid all around. Favorite tracks include "March for Revenge", "Guyana", "Heart of Steel", and what has always been an all-time favorite of mine "Master of the Wind", just to name a few. The crowd interaction in reciting all of "The Warrior's Prayer" in unison was also a highpoint. As live albums go, this highly energetic one is quite good and is definitely a must have for all the Manowarriors out there.
Double live album for 1999 by these tough metal vets. Contains 16 of their all-time greatest on two full color picture discs, including 'Metal Daze', 'Gates Of Valhalla' and 'The Warrior's Prayer'. Double slimline jewel case. 1999 release.
