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.

What does motown have to do with rap? I thought motown was Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. Don't tell me you're listening to that as well? You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

What does motown have to do with rap? I thought motown was Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. Don't tell me you're listening to that as well? You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

LOL yeah, when we were made to do it at school it annoyed me, now that I'm not forced in to it, I don't mind it too much. I remember in 3rd form I got a distinction certificate for Maori studies, not sure how I managed that.

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.

You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

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.

Deep Freeze wrote:
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.

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.

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.
Freeze...NO country music? Not even Charlie Daniels? LOL!!!!!!

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.

Look at the reviews. Where were Priest one of the biggest? DETROIT!! Sellout!

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.

Guido, great Kid Rock vid - very innovative - and the Bang Bang Eche (never heard'o'm) was an experience too.

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.

Queensrÿche: American Soldier
Great album by a great group
The thing about Q is that their albums really take time.
I could hear on the first run that Soldier is topnotch, but even now on about seventh run I wouldnt say that I'm "familiar" with it.
It's a great testimony to the American soldier too. You get a real feeling for what's goin on in Afganistan and Iraq, what it's like being a mother, father, spouse, or chlld of one of the guys there, and what what it was like to be in WW II, Vietnam etc.
I think that all dudes who believe in the freedom and democracy (at least relative to the rest of the world) that we have in NA and WE should get into Soldier
All my support to all you brave guys who are risking your lives to keep away evil from our homes by fighting it far away, and helping other good people in those places !!!

BTW. I like Diana and the Jackson 5, Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and even some M&M. Go rent the movie Gran Torino. That church is at the corner of my house. Come to my neighborhood someday and perhaps you'll understand. It is not uncommon to have real old-school Motown mixed with rap and metal in ANY bar.
Look at the reviews. Where were Priest one of the biggest? DETROIT!! Sellout! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 2:53:51 AM)

What does motown have to do with rap? I thought motown was Diana Ross and the Jackson 5. Don't tell me you're listening to that as well? You'll have to buy a silver sequined jumpsuit and grow an afro. If your going to claim credibility due to the fact that you were born in a place you might as well look the part too.

START listening to rap?!? Saying that to someone born and raised in Motown is a sure way to get a cap popped in your ass.

That is a great part of why I still hold to "not all rap is crap" statement. Especially literate and historically significant rhyme.
No harm, no foul, compadre.

Read a little, kid. Malcolm X was also a key player in the movement in Michigan. Read his autobiography someday. Perhaps you'll understand that "not all rap is crap."
