| Priest will be here August 8th. I am still considering it. There is not much else here this year that would interest me. U2 is coming but I am NOT into them. |

I will be going to one show this year, this time in Concord, CA, which is about an hour or so away from where I'm living right now. Can't wait to see the Metal Gods again! And Whitesnake performing will be a nice treat, too.

His percussionist is so old, I think he could have been Linton's dad (Linton is in his 70's now so imagine how old the percussionist is) and the drummer is this little british kid who looks like he's had the crap beaten out of him at school but is a really steady great drummer (no, not as great as Travolous but then who is? lol)
Linton is so old that instead of a promper board, he'd take out a neatly folded white piece of paper with a set list and presumably a refresher on the lyrics he was supposed to be singing on it.
I was pretty apprehensive when I first went out,but I'm glad I did!

I believe they will come here, as you say, they seem to want to our every corner of the world. We've had some amazing international acts (no, not Celine lol0 and I have faith in the Priest, they will bring the feast here!
(hey, Ozzy came here and survived so?? what's the risk? lol)

Seems like they would, but there is alot of space between europe and there and maybe it's a logistics thing. For some reason I'm convinced Priest wish to play every corner of the world before retiring so, like you said, there's still hope.
Good to hear some local boys still go out and pull themselves up by their bootstraps same way Priest did so many years ago.

They got together and decided to just go to Europe and wing it. So they managed to get onto some bills and toured Europe. They didn't make much money at all. They managed to pay for their transport and accomidation but they also got recognition. They did small venues and some had an audience of ten people some had in the very high hudreds. They went out on their own and now they're pretty popular in Europe.
I had a great time and on evenings like this, I have hope for South African musicians who deserve to be out there where they belong!
Still.... Waiting for this big metal band that are on this world tour thing and are going to come here so that I can say I saw Priest in my homeland??? ROFl
No, I never give up!
| | | spapad wrote: | | That's just crazy, you would think that Promotors would be all for promoting their own country's offerings to the world. Imagine all the music that get's missed because the band cant get to cash to go to England. Seems very narrow minded on the music industriy's behalf not to promote from within, sort of speak.
You should write a review on the band anyway, and freelance it to a mag or another paper. Someone is bound to want to listen.
| | | joedraper wrote: | | The thing is that (unbelievably lol) South Africa does have a huge multiculture of muscality.. We have everything from traditional, tribal music to pop, to jazz to metal and some very formidable rock. I don't think that promoters do the talent here any justice at all. That is why we've seen so many of our local artists leave our shores to seek recognition elsewhere. For instance: Dave Mathews (ok not very metal but anyways) is a South African.Seether. Now they've done so much for this country and had to achieve their status in the USA because they just couldn't get the backing here. We've also got an aspiring artist who could rival any international act.. A guy called Arno Carstens. That guy should be right at the top period. And he had to sign a deal with a UK record label and move to the UK so that he could produce music.
Those kind of things make me sick. We have a lot of really bad artist but we also have an elitist list of pure excellence in their field and nobody here seems to want to do a thing about it. They'd rather import mediocre acts like Celine Dion and The Pussycat Dolls than give our real guys any light of day.. (hey.. could this be why the don't want me to review those concerts?? lol)

These guys were just so natural. I'm still totally in awe of the evening I had. I'm a tad dissapointed that I wasn't asked to do a review on this band for the local that I write for because I really enjoyed something that I went out hell bent on believing that I would hate (if that makes any sense?) I always get asked to write reviews or articles on bands that the editor knows I like and know so this would have been so cool to have such an open review about a genre that I am totally not familiar with. Hell, I think I'll just write a review anyway and give it to the mag and see if they feel like using it. The bands were that good!

| | | joedraper wrote: | | Ok.. I"m back and you know what??? This was so cool! LK J was so cool and so were Dennis Boval and his band thingy.. I have a newfound respect for reggae/dub now.
I don't know if anyone even knows this artist but he's so cool! He's like this distinguished old british dinosaur who is more of a poet than a reggae artist. His percussionist is so old, I think he could have been Linton's dad (Linton is in his 70's now so imagine how old the percussionist is) and the drummer is this little british kid who looks like he's had the crap beaten out of him at school but is a really steady great drummer (no, not as great as Travolous but then who is? lol)
Linton is so old that instead of a promper board, he'd take out a neatly folded white piece of paper with a set list and presumably a refresher on the lyrics he was supposed to be singing on it.
I was pretty apprehensive when I first went out,but I'm glad I did!
Ok.. Ready for Priest now..
