** TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: Most songs covered by ARP develop heavier tones than the original versions, although some stick to the source material more closely. Examples of this are "July Morning" by Uriah Heep and "Beautiful Day" by U2. Ironically, "Love Gun" by KISS was covered as a ballad complete with acoustic guitars. But the most obvious change was made to Music/PhilCollins's "In the Air Tonight".

They play a classic traditional melodic heavy metal, predictably guitar-heavy but less flashy than Yngwie Malmsteen, with an emphasis on softer ballads as evidenced by three separate ballad compilations over the years.

!!Axel Rudi Pell provides examples of the following tropes:
* AirGuitar: Johnny Gioeli occasionally does this in concert.
* AlbumFiller: Most common on ''Oceans of Time'' and ''Black Moon Pyramid''.
* AudienceParticipationSong: Not as frequently as other heavy metal bands, but still sometimes happens.
* BoleroEffect: "Take the Crown", "Ashes from the Oath", "The Curse of the Damned", their cover of "In the Air Tonight", and the list goes on.
* ConceptAlbum: The band has released three ballad compilations, each taking songs from the band's last few albums.
* ContinuityNod: Very, ''very'' common, but most notable in the song "Mystica", which directly references the albums ''Kings and Queens'' and ''Oceans of Time'', as well as a handful of songs from previous albums.
* CoverVersion: "Wishing Well" by Free, "July Morning" by Uriah Heep, "Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix, and "The Temple of the King" by Rainbow. In 2007 they released a covers-only album called ''Diamonds Unlocked''.
** CoverAlbum: ''Diamonds Unlocked''.
** TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: Most songs covered by ARP develop heavier tones than the original versions, although some stick to the source material more closely. Examples of this are "July Morning" by Uriah Heep and "Beautiful Day" by U2. Ironically, "Love Gun" by KISS was covered as a ballad complete with acoustic guitars. But the most obvious change was made to {{Phil Collins}}'s "In the Air Tonight". It's...well, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDhf_0QtM10 compare]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gllbk7Yl-dY them]] [[CrowningMusicofAwesome yourself]].
** FirstAndForemost: YourMileageMayVary on their covers.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome
* EarWorm
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: Every studio album since ''Between the Walls'' has contained a minute-long foreboding instrumental intro at the beginning, with the exception of ''Tales of the Crown''.
* EpicRocking: Many of the epic compositions have really long solos, especially "The Gates of the Seven Seals", "The Masquerade Ball", and "The Clown is Dead".
** Don't forget the song Black Moon Pyramid.
* EpicRiff: The cookers foremost, but especially the epics.
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: "Casbah" had a realistic-sounding outro that sounded like somebody rowing a boat. Additionally, the jokingly-titled "Return of the Calyph from the Apocalypse of Babylon" contains ''a cow mooing.''
* FaceOfTheBand: Obviously. The band is called Axel Rudi Pell, after its guitarist.
* FourMoreMeasures: "Night and Rain". It doesn't want to begin.
* GreatestHitsAlbum: ''The Wizard's Chosen Few'', ''The Magic Fingers'', and ''Best of Anniversary Edition''.
* GreenAesop: ''Hole In The Sky'', but its far from being AnviLicious.
* IndecipherableLyrics: The demonic interlude of "The Gates of the Seven Seals". It doesn't help that these particular lyrics weren't even included in the album booklet.
* LastChorusSlowDown: "The Curse of the Damned"
* MusicForCourage: "I Believe in You"
* NoHitWonder
* PowerBallad
* RefrainFromAssuming: On your first listen, you would swear that "Only the Strong Will Survive" was called "On the Run".
* RockmeAsmodeus: The pre-solo interlude from "The Gates of the Seven Seals".
* SequelSong: "Dark Waves of the Sea" is the sequel to "Oceans of Time". It features the chorus as an interlude.
* StopandGo: Possibly "(Don't Trust The) Promised Dreams". The song fades into near silence for about a minute before picking right back up again.
* TriumphantReprise: The interlude of "Dark Waves of the Sea", which is a reprise of the chorus from "Oceans of Time".
* WordSaladTitle: "Return of the Calyph from the Apocalypse of Babylon"
