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.

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."
Open your mind, buddy.

LOL! Roxette! My mum loved them. What about Ace of Base?? That's kinda Eurotrashy. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Tuesday, December 29, 2009 3:39:52 PM)

For me it was AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Priest, Motorhead, Sabbath etc. I can't think of any bands that would fit into that definition of Eurotrash except maybe Roxette. Have you heard of them, the y sing that shocking song "The Look".
guidogodoy wrote:
You really want to go back there? Well...Eurotrash is an American term to usually applied to determine really bad techno-rock. Comes from Europe, normally.
HAAAAAAA!!!!! Thanks for clarifying. That could have been interpreted in a number of ways. "Are you on the dole" LOL!!!!!
Becks wrote:
LOL the dole is the unemployment benefit.

Got it...now what is the "dole?" LOL??

Kapa haka is the style, the language is Maori - don't worry I don't understand what they're saying either LOL!
NO JJ I was not on the dole
guidogodoy wrote:
WOW! I thought both were great. "Kapa hapa" the language or the style?
I watched both vids and, ableit the languange problem, cannot sat that the second one looked just like Chilean national music. A "casique" (or warlord) leading the chant.
Great stuff...again. I really do appreciate you sharing a bit of a place i'd LOVE to visitt (and will).
Becks wrote:
With regards to a national type of music, the closest we probably have hear would be pasific music - hip hop with pasific beats to it. That and kapa haka stuff, which is the music and singing of the indigenous people, the Maori.
guidogodoy wrote:
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.

The music scene in NZ is pathetic. I understood what you were getting at before and I wasn't criticizing, just messing around.

I'd actually hope that you chime in here, Becks. Let me say that I don't mean to disrespect ANY country (heck, I travel too much to do such a thing), but am I right iin my assertion that there isn't much of a metal scene in NZ? If I am wrong, please turn me on to some bands.
Becks wrote:
It was cancelled due to logistics, JJ. It was going to cost too much to freight everything here for one show at the time, which was in the middle of the recession or whatever you want to call it.
I still hope Priest get here one day, I'll be forking out for the best tickets possible.
jimmyjames wrote:
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.
guidogodoy wrote:
Hey, you got one right! Now I wouldn't think to ask you a song the three sang together. You would just google it anyway.
About rap and metal, you missed the point. I grew up with it just as you did with Eurotrash. It is a meld that few will understand. Ever wonder why Priest doesn't go to kiwi land but plays three concerts in Detroit?
jimmyjames wrote:
Yes, Pavarotti. I don't think not knowing who Billy Henderson is a sign of ignorance. Especially if I didn't grow up in Motown. ( where they pop caps in peoples asses for not knowing who Billy Henderson is, no doubt. )
guidogodoy wrote:
How sad. You show that you are young and ignorant. Can you name which (or any) of the "three tenors" that died without a google? My guess is no.
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.

Perhaps you hadn't noticed, my friend, but I am from Detroit.
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.
