Edguy (Prounouced "Ed-gai") is a German [[Power Metal]] band that was founded in 1992. Their music is heavily influenced by both [[Iron Maiden (Music)|Iron Maiden]] and [[Helloween (Music)|Helloween]], although they tend to have a more symphonic sound with greater use of keyboards.
 
Tobias Sammet also has a [[Rock Opera]] side project, [[Avantasia]].
Line 32:
* [[Epic Rocking]]: "Eyes of the Tyrant," "The Pharaoh," "Theater of Salvation,", "The Piper Never Dies", "Speedhoven" and "Robin Hood".
* [[Faust]]: "The Devil and the Savant" is based on this.
* [[Heavy Mithril]]: Several of their songs, though not as many as [[Blind Guardian (Music)|some]] [[Gamma Ray (Music)|other]] power metal bands.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Blind Guardian (Music)|Hansi]] [[Demons and Wizards|Kürsch]] guested on ''Vain Glory Opera''. Also ''very'' common on [[Avantasia]].
* [[Intercourse Withwith You]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y3CMlvrkN0 "Lavatory Love Machine"] is rather obvious...
** ... but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp_fwFMVLpY "Fucking With Fire"] [[I Call Him "Mister Happy"|("Hair Force One")]] is even more blatant.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The latest couple of albums have moved from power metal towards a more hard rock sound. Also, their later albums usually have at least one joke song.
Line 41:
* [[Monster Clown]]: On the cover of ''Mandrake''.
* [[Power Ballad]]: "Scarlet Rose," "Holy Water," "Forever," "When A Hero Cries," "Save Me," and the incredibly awesome "The Spirit Will Remain."
* [[Shout-Out]]: Given that the structure of the songs are almost identical, "Vain Glory Opera" commonly gets its first verse replaced by the first verse from [[Europe (Music)|The Final Countdown]] when performed live.
** "Vain Glory Opera" often gets introduced as the song the stole or ripped off.
** Also, Felix Bohnke creates drum solos to the soundtracks of [[Pirates of the Caribbean]] and [[Star Wars]]. During the latter, he sports [[Vader Breath|an iconic mask, complete with sounds]].
