Found this list, and it’s hilarious.
You don’t even have to know what power metal is – you will get the idea about 10 rules in. Of course if you are familiar with power metal you shouldn’t read this while eating or drinking anything.
Here’s a sample:
- Let no sound be lonely. If there’s a guitar solo, harmonize it. If there’s singing, make it a choir.
- Whenever you short of ideas, pick up your Dungeons and Dragons books. You might as well be the first band to sing about owlbears.
- Your album cover should include at least one of the following: fire, steel, weird glowing magical items, irregularly muscular men, fists thrust into the air, weaponry, magic creatures (preferably dragons), or bright beams of light around somebody/something.
Like most lists this size it is somewhat padded, but the short read gives the list a good laughs per unit time ratio.
