Powerman 5000 - Nobody's Real

[@Dr.Faceman]

I heard Powerman referred to recently as "an obscure metal group from the late 90's" and wished more people had heard their music. Most ppl I hear refer to them seem to do it as a joke and I die a little inside every time.

[@mrconfusion87]

But I bet just about any serious metalhead born in the 1970s and 1980s will have heard and headbanged to "When World's Collide" back in the day... 😎🍻🤘

[@Johny40Se7en]

Tell those people to look around at society at the moment, and listen to the lyrics of this song. It's rather ahead of its time, and has philosophical depths. If they're competent in the least, they'll change their tune 👍😛😜
