Guardians of Asgard - Amon Amarth
One of the best metal songs in recent years.
[Necroticist] Thursday, December 31, 2009 3:24:49 AM
Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Discography.. (mainly cos i forgot to play em over xmas....)
[Nicky007] Thursday, December 31, 2009 3:13:33 AM
Yup, Down, one'o my fave groups. Pantera too
NP Priest: Angel Of Retribution
Fab album too
It's amazing how Priest changed after Rob got back into the mix
This is the only band I can think of with guys 50+ that continue to explore new territory (progress) and give their fans radically different treats with every album
Think of Stones and Aerosmith
But honestly guys, couldn't you at least get the spelling right in the topic heads ? When guests see this, they think that Priest fans are illiterate. As we know, there's already a widespread prejudice that metalheads are morons, and we don't need to add to that

Great stuff...again. I really do appreciate you sharing a bit of a place i'd LOVE to visitt (and will).

I still hope Priest get here one day, I'll be forking out for the best tickets possible.

I guess Priest don't come here because there's not enough interest in their music. It's mainly bands who are really big or bands that are more underground that come here. The only way Priest could get a gig here would be as part of a festival. They toured Australia last year and were going to do a show here but they cancelled it. due to poor ticket sales I suppose. Either that or the logistics of packing everything up and flying over for a one off show were to much. For the record I did buy a ticket, but it was not to be.

I still hope Priest get here one day, I'll be forking out for the best tickets possible.

I guess Priest don't come here because there's not enough interest in their music. It's mainly bands who are really big or bands that are more underground that come here. The only way Priest could get a gig here would be as part of a festival. They toured Australia last year and were going to do a show here but they cancelled it. due to poor ticket sales I suppose. Either that or the logistics of packing everything up and flying over for a one off show were to much. For the record I did buy a ticket, but it was not to be.

No not really, most of the musical influences come from outside. The metal scene here is pretty healthy considering the size of the country population wise ( 4 million ). We have no decent metal bands of note that are doing much locally or internationally. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 2:30:25 PM)

From what I've seen, there's pockets of metal fans around the place, but not really any NZ metal bands or major metal scene around unfortunately - the best hard rock type band NZ has produced is a band called Shihad (their early stuff anyway, the General Electric is one album which was pretty good). There is a thrashy type band here called 8 Foot Sativa but I think they suck lol. Also some people may consider a band called Blindspott (sp?) metal, but I don't really think so, not much of a fan of them either. We do have what people call bogans here, I've been called one before cos I selected some metal to play on a jukebox at a function LOL! The music you see around the most is hip hop, which I personally can't stand. I always smile when I see kids walking around wearing a Motorhead, Iron Maiden, or any other classic metal band shirt - going a bit against the grain of what is popular here, keeping the heavy metal faith.

No harm taken.....do you have a national music, though? Spain = flamenco, for example.
I am really curious. I knew a few people from NZ who were great but didn't have a single Metal band to mention to me. Thus, my only reference. Any national favs or Metal nationals would be most appreciated. I mean, you'd have to go to Portugal to understand fado music. It is beautiful.

From what I've seen, there's pockets of metal fans around the place, but not really any NZ metal bands or major metal scene around unfortunately - the best hard rock type band NZ has produced is a band called Shihad (their early stuff anyway, the General Electric is one album which was pretty good). There is a thrashy type band here called 8 Foot Sativa but I think they suck lol. Also some people may consider a band called Blindspott (sp?) metal, but I don't really think so, not much of a fan of them either. We do have what people call bogans here, I've been called one before cos I selected some metal to play on a jukebox at a function LOL! The music you see around the most is hip hop, which I personally can't stand. I always smile when I see kids walking around wearing a Motorhead, Iron Maiden, or any other classic metal band shirt - going a bit against the grain of what is popular here, keeping the heavy metal faith.

Run-DMC and Aerosmith were amongst the first to do it but what is Kid doing there? Rap? Rock? Metal? Just shows what I and Freeze are saying. How can you NOT be influenced by your surroundings especially during your formative years? Ever think you can get Samba music out of a Brazillian? The Mexican corrida or mariachi? The Portuguese fado?
I also know nothing about the NZ music scene. Nonetheless, I would argue that Detroit holds Metal to greater esteem as do many of the northern US states and Canada. I'd bet my life on it.

OK, better late than never. I will "jump in" even though this party ended long ago.
For me, not "all" of anything" is one thing or another. As convoluted a statement as this is , the point I make is that not "all" Rap is so hideous as to deserve the utter disdain of the entire Metal Nation. Nor is "all" blues, jazz, pop, classical, hip hop, etc. (*with the possible exception of all country...HAAAAAAAAA!)
I get the joke, jj. No need to get into it. I laughed, too. From whence one hails notwithstanding, personal taste is a matter of variety amonst us and I, for one, embrace that. I have no idea what life is like in NZ but I have been to Detroit. You can literally draw a line with a paint brush between "good" neighborhoods and heartbreaking blight. Literally. Guido and I have driven around the greater Detroit area and went from beautiful to deplorable in the blink of an eye. He can actually show you the "dividing lines" as you drive. THAT is real, not conjecture or opinion. Additionally, there is a wide variety of musical influence there and one can easily see how spending one's 'formative' years there would have a tremendous affect on one's musical taste. How could it not? One must attend schools, shop and generally live among a HUGE diversity. It would be insanity to think one could simply close themsleves off from what is around them everyday!
I do NOT like Kid Rock. Don't care from whence he hails. NOT because of his musical choices but because I feel he "steals" (samples, as it were) from great artists rather than composing his own music and that most of his "original" work tends to have the same cadence over and over. I do not think he is a "fresh" as he would like us to believe. Certainly talented. Just my opinion. I like LL Cool J. I like the Beastie Boys. Loved the Tenors. I really love Bocelli. My point is, its "OK" to like other genres. As a vocalist, I tend to listen to certain things within the music that may not interest others. Delivery, sustain, range, emoting. On and on.
All of this leads me to the same conclusion, not "all" of anything is one thing or another.

Notice I did not put Kid Rock in my first listing of my musical tastes? I only threw that one video up there by Kid because it illustrates my point of the previous ones. Melding rap and metal / rock. Run-DMC and Aerosmith were amongst the first to do it but what is Kid doing there? Rap? Rock? Metal? Just shows what I and Freeze are saying. How can you NOT be influenced by your surroundings especially during your formative years? Ever think you can get Samba music out of a Brazillian? The Mexican corrida or mariachi? The Portuguese fado?
I also know nothing about the NZ music scene. Nonetheless, I would argue that Detroit holds Metal to greater esteem as do many of the northern US states and Canada. I'd bet my life on it.

I get the joke, jj. No need to get into it. I laughed, too. From whence one hails notwithstanding, personal taste is a matter of variety amonst us and I, for one, embrace that. I have no idea what life is like in NZ but I have been to Detroit. You can literally draw a line with a paint brush between "good" neighborhoods and heartbreaking blight. Literally. Guido and I have driven around the greater Detroit area and went from beautiful to deplorable in the blink of an eye. He can actually show you the "dividing lines" as you drive. THAT is real, not conjecture or opinion. Additionally, there is a wide variety of musical influence there and one can easily see how spending one's 'formative' years there would have a tremendous affect on one's musical taste. How could it not? One must attend schools, shop and generally live among a HUGE diversity. It would be insanity to think one could simply close themsleves off from what is around them everyday!
I do NOT like Kid Rock. Don't care from whence he hails. NOT because of his musical choices but because I feel he "steals" (samples, as it were) from great artists rather than composing his own music and that most of his "original" work tends to have the same cadence over and over. I do not think he is a "fresh" as he would like us to believe. Certainly talented. Just my opinion. I like LL Cool J. I like the Beastie Boys. Loved the Tenors. I really love Bocelli. My point is, its "OK" to like other genres. As a vocalist, I tend to listen to certain things within the music that may not interest others. Delivery, sustain, range, emoting. On and on.
All of this leads me to the same conclusion, not "all" of anything is one thing or another.

Run-DMC and Aerosmith were amongst the first to do it but what is Kid doing there? Rap? Rock? Metal? Just shows what I and Freeze are saying. How can you NOT be influenced by your surroundings especially during your formative years? Ever think you can get Samba music out of a Brazillian? The Mexican corrida or mariachi? The Portuguese fado?
I also know nothing about the NZ music scene. Nonetheless, I would argue that Detroit holds Metal to greater esteem as do many of the northern US states and Canada. I'd bet my life on it.
Freeze...NO country music? Not even Charlie Daniels? LOL!!!!!!

For me, not "all" of anything" is one thing or another. As convoluted a statement as this is , the point I make is that not "all" Rap is so hideous as to deserve the utter disdain of the entire Metal Nation. Nor is "all" blues, jazz, pop, classical, hip hop, etc. (*with the possible exception of all country...HAAAAAAAAA!)
I get the joke, jj. No need to get into it. I laughed, too. From whence one hails notwithstanding, personal taste is a matter of variety amonst us and I, for one, embrace that. I have no idea what life is like in NZ but I have been to Detroit. You can literally draw a line with a paint brush between "good" neighborhoods and heartbreaking blight. Literally. Guido and I have driven around the greater Detroit area and went from beautiful to deplorable in the blink of an eye. He can actually show you the "dividing lines" as you drive. THAT is real, not conjecture or opinion. Additionally, there is a wide variety of musical influence there and one can easily see how spending one's 'formative' years there would have a tremendous affect on one's musical taste. How could it not? One must attend schools, shop and generally live among a HUGE diversity. It would be insanity to think one could simply close themsleves off from what is around them everyday!
I do NOT like Kid Rock. Don't care from whence he hails. NOT because of his musical choices but because I feel he "steals" (samples, as it were) from great artists rather than composing his own music and that most of his "original" work tends to have the same cadence over and over. I do not think he is a "fresh" as he would like us to believe. Certainly talented. Just my opinion. I like LL Cool J. I like the Beastie Boys. Loved the Tenors. I really love Bocelli. My point is, its "OK" to like other genres. As a vocalist, I tend to listen to certain things within the music that may not interest others. Delivery, sustain, range, emoting. On and on.
All of this leads me to the same conclusion, not "all" of anything is one thing or another.
