* * TakeThat:
** The [[NoExportForYou Japan exclusive]] "Wannabees" (one of the bonus tracks for ''To the Metal'') parodies elitist attitudes.
** The RockStarSong "Rich and Famous", from ''Sigh No More'', is one against {{Money Song}}s and similar aspects of the rock star lifestyle.

This is now Just For Fun, and should not be listed as a trope.


* RecycledINSPACE: To some extent, the band themselves, having started off with often very political themes to their music and then gradually transformed into sci-fi theming by the time ''Somewhere Out in Space'' was released. That continued for a few albums and then dropped away again. Considering that some members changed after each album on their first through fifth, it's not so surprising. ''Music/IronSavior'' could also be considered a space-themed brother band to Gamma Ray, having had fully three quarters of Gamma Ray's membership in it at one point.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition:
** The digipack version of ''Land of the Free II'' subverts this, as it proudly proclaims "Limited First Edition" on the cover, yet it doesn't have ''anything to be limited for''. Technically, it represents the first pressing of the album and is a way to tell apart the first and second/third/etc. pressings of LOTFII, despite having no functional difference.
** ''To The Metal'', on the other hand, plays this straight, offering up a limited hand-signed version with CD and vinyl that went out of print ShortAsHell afterwards.



** Ralf Scheepers went to form Music/PrimalFear with several members of Music/{{Sinner}} after failing for an audition to be Music/JudasPriest's singer.
