    This is where we confer about distinction between fixed gear and fixed wheel, pb job and mb job, rain and drizzle, real jobs and couriering, Holborn and High Holborn. To figure out whether Mercyful Fate should be classified as heavy metal or black metal and how old Scott Columbus is go there-http://www.metalthrone.net/forum/

    Oddly enough, you know that crazy metal hat I have that Zach gave me? The one with the studs and the skelaton? He won it in that race.

    I love that hat..these are from Metal Race 2, won by (never been to) Brooklyn Jack Crank ..

    Did you see that some online metal forums are really upset about the metal race? I think they feel like it makes them the subcultural lowest common denominator....

    Don't want to spread nasty rumours, BUT heard that Brooklyn Jack comes from the place that benefited this world with a band called OVERKILL.

    >it makes them the subcultural lowest common denominator

    Dragged down by New Jersey Jack?

    Wait. Since when have you frequented the online metal forums?
  6.  
    Well, Metal Heads from new jersey who listen to country and ride fixed are a special breed, you might say an insect that you just can't classify. Sometimes it's easier to return it to it's natural habitat and shake your head.

    This is not the metal head you are looking for

    Without wanting to generalise in any way, all metal is reactionary, bigoted,sexist crap, played by people too musically incompetent to play jazz and/or too politically ignorant too play punk.
  13.  
    Bullshit Gertie.

    Hmmmmm....Godspeed You Black Emporer ( I know I misspelled it. I don't care.)?

    I have to argue with you Gertie. Apart of the fact that metal and punk overlapped in many ways BOTH musically and lyrically, there were whole genres of music mixing metal music with political verbal message that punk was/is all about. Its grind core and crossover im talking about. I could bombard you with names of metal bands that didn't scream about reactionary,sexist and bigoted crap.I won't do that. Just couple of examples: american grind core band Terrorizer had pretty good lyrics(socio-political shall we call them), despite having co-memebers of death metal Morbid Angel that could definitely be described as a sexist band. Scottish punk band The Exploited was/is well dodgy,to the extend that they used neo nazis as security at their gigs in germany in late 90s. Screwdriver started as a punk band. That doesn't make them not reactionary, not sexist and not bigoted...

    Even Saxons "Wheels of Steel" ?
  15.  
    Saxon were the 2nd band I ever saw live - and it was on the 'wheels of steel' tour. Or was it the 'Denim and Leather' tour? So long ago I can't remember.

    'Wheels of Steel' Folkestone Leas Cliff Hall, they had fireworks, I was a punk mind, suburban variety.
  16.  
    Did they have the exploding guitar as well?

    Saxon were never sexist. Surely? And I particularly liked their earlier free jazz experimental phase, but Barnsley just wasnt ready for their avant garde minimalism.

    OK. Anymore posts to this thread, and I will shut the forum down FOR GOOD.

    Metal is wrong. Metal is bad. Metal… oh, you know what I mean.

    B Bill - "Shit, do people still listen to metal?"

    Bill you are a bandwagon jumping hipster, if enough people tell you to you'll probably go back to hating fakengers like you did when you couriered for that one summer in 1987.

    i thought i'd spare it a thread of it's own on this one, this is run by a creative controller after all, if he wants to show off what goes on in his office then he can put it on the main page.
