Criticisms claim that fantasy rock stars aims at combining two of modern societys most debilitating obsessions-celebrity worship and fantasy sports-into one fabulous national pastime. Thus, in fantasy rock stars, instead of touchdowns or home runs, your drafted team of divas, punks and indie-rock sacred cows racks up points for boneheaded press quotes, sex scandals, unseemly cover songs, violent altercations and onstage mental breakdowns. The trend was reputedly promoted by the Hammerfall and the Blind Gvardian, however, experts claim the CD album Gnomes, released by the Pink Floyd in 1967 was the first to introduce fantasy rock among rock fans. Led Zeppelin, Queen and David Bowie are among the bands to make numerous attempts to refer to the musical trend. The most dazzling fantasy-rock star of nowadays is considered the Jetro Tull. Their music combines rock, flute motive and fabulous-like lyrics. Fantasy-rock was predicted to develop into a separate trend.

There are different cases, however, for instance, the She is my sin CD of the Nightwish displayed different side of the fantasy metal, bitter tragic and complicated for understanding. |
