How to make a stronger metal scene[views:16848][posts:88]____________________________________________________ [Feb 21,2006 1:37pm - slowlypeelingtheflesh nli ""] MetalcoreSUCKS said:Y_Ddraig_Goch said:So I have been thinking, how can one go about making the metal scene stronger in our area? What has worked in other places? So far some of the things I have done has been to make mix cds with all types of metal for friends who are not into metal yet, must say I have converted quite a few. It just seems there are to few people who are passionate about the music to really get a good following around here. I live in Southern NH and I must say there is no metal presence around here at all, plenty of metalheads and bands, but no shows, no cool bars that play metal music. There is a park in my city that has an outdoor stage and if I ever get my band up and going I want to see if I can get some kind of metal show there, that would be awesome but I bet it would never work. The heaviest music played there is like jazz rock fussion hahah. So what do you think needs to be done in New England to make a really strong metal community? Good question.But idk the answer.Ive tried to get chicks I work with to go to shows with me but none of them are into Metal.Lets face it,the USA is not a country where Metal is the first choice of music.So just get used to the scene being DEAD.Cause New England is not the only place in this country where Metal is dying. cry about it, the more you complain,the more nothing is going to be solved |

Yea I haven't been to too many shows lately because most of it is stuff that doesn't reall intrest me at all, for one I am a metal purist, can't stand anything with the least tinge of -core in it, so anything like that I don't bother going to see live. Can anyone recommend any bands out there from around here that play live enough to see them within the year so far the only local bands I have been gifted with hearing are SoB, 3HM, and seed, all of which I liked. |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 21,2006 2:36pm - the_reverend ""] if you haven't been to many shows, then you are part of the problem, not the solution. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 21,2006 2:47pm - cav ""] if you book a solid show, its not overpriced, and on a weekend night kids usually come out. my reccomendation to anyone who is getting sick of playing for 2 kids, book bands that have members in high school...they have lots of friends...friends with money who dont have to pay rent and buy gear. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 21,2006 3:22pm - Yeti ""] how can you expect a better "scene" when you wont help support it? so what if something has the word core in it? i agree that there are plenty of shitty ass bands out there that use the suffix -core, but that doesnt mean they are all bad. and remember there are many assholes who will label a band a certain genre simply because they dont like them, regardless of the actual style. take Sacreligion for example, we have been labeled as mall metal or nu core or whatever else has been said, but that is completely unfounded, usually that kind of hate is simply because one person didnt like it, and all the other people sucking his dick agree. if one were to take the time to actually listen, one would hear. if you just assume that you are going to hate something, or base your judgement off of someones opinion, then chances are you are going to hate it. try giving a broader spectrum of music a chance. |

Our live set = playing "Cannibal Corpse-The Bleeding" album in its entirety with guitars on clean, air drums, my left testicled miced with distortion and flange added on the channel. Oh, and our two vocalists read Maya Angelou poetry in the voice of Elmer Fudd, but they read different poems at the same time. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do this next time you play with us. A Terrible Night for a Curse is going to cover N.F.L. by Anthrax, but the vocals will be done in the style of Fred Schneider of the B-52's. It's gonna kick ass. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 22,2006 12:43am - brian_dc ""] diy shows require a room with electricity, bands, mapquest, and some balls. |
