They're not Classical/and/or Metal. They're Power Metal. If you people use the internet more often, the you would clearly see why they're compared to Iron Maiden. Power Metal vocalists take after other vocalists like Bruce Dickinson, ect. And before you say that their band photo is cheesey, why don't try listening to their music before posting stupid articles and comments. You'll understand why they look all Lord of The Rings. If you ask me, they're better than most bands nowadays. They kick Dragon Force's pathetic ass.

P.S. Their name is Rhapsody Of Fire. Not Rhapsody anymore, due to copyright or trademark issues. There for, they had to change their name.

Heyy...they're actually a really good band. And yeah..if you did know anything at all about them, you would know why they were in that pose.
And the caption is lame.

Oh yeah. And posting stupid comments that say "ZOMGAH LOTR!" or something like that doesn't make you clever.

LMAO!!! ... "And once you reach Middle Earth, you will need to awkwardly pose for a picture."... priceless. I can just imagine Gandalf, straight faced and serious, saying that phrase. And, the looks on these guy's faces scream, "Dude, we didn't get the ring and we lost our band equipment on that giant misty mountain. So... do we get our money back?"

I think the guy in the middle "CUT ONE" and the poor bald guy just caught a whiff as the photographer snapped the Picture. Also, I have NOT heard the band, I just find it amusing to critique the photos...that IS why they are posted, NO? harmless kidding, no hate involed. I avoid cameras just for that reason (& my image does not show in film or mirrors) ,but thats another story!
