Why don't you just keep it all in the same thread instead of interupting conversations with it. Start your own thread.

Send me some links on the underground bands you speak of, I would love to hear them.
Disturbed is an excellent metal band and I love what they put out. They did not sell out, they just had the right promotion and a great sound. They accomplished what few bands do today. They were in the top 200 sales for U.S. for over a year, and at the top when Indestructable came out. They are the future of American Metal. IMO.

In saying that though, there are some great, great metal bands coming out of the States, they are just more underground and you have to look around a bit to hear their stuff. Some of these bands have been around for years but have remained under the radar rather than take the commercial road like Disturbed and co have. However you do have to give it to Disturbed, they are taking metal to a wider audience. They are over here in May actually and have toured a few times. So they are definately promoting metal in all corners of the world and reaching out to fans everywhere. Unlike Priest who tend to specialise in cash grab U.S tours trading on music they released 20+ years ago. |

Many love it. Thy Commander J.D. loves it, but it's not for me. But congrats on loving it! It's all good.

I wish i was more openminded a few years back and got into it sooner,but,better late than never!
So i remembered a few years back J.D. posting stuff about those bands!
Gave them a try and,at first the vocals were harsh,but the music,it blew me away!
So as of now,that is all i listen too,i love stuff that most people cannot stand!

To be honest, I dont' like Death Metal because most of what I have heard tromps on the vocalist. I hate to listen to a song I can not hear the words to. In my opinion, if the vocals don't stand out that is because the vocalist is crap..

You only have to read some of the comments on this site in recent months to see how they are pissing off a lot of their fans with a lack of new product and substandard product, particularly Halford with all his reissuing of Fight/Halford material and live albums. I applaud Disturbed for what they are doing and it's great they are having mainstream success. All I said was they are a commercial metal band ie a product. No harm in that. So are Maiden, so are Metallica, so is Ozzy etc.

Disturbed is an excellent metal band and I love what they put out. They did not sell out, they just had the right promotion and a great sound. They accomplished what few bands do today. They were in the top 200 sales for U.S. for over a year, and at the top when Indestructable came out. They are the future of American Metal. IMO.

Priest absolutely do cash grab tours in America. On their Nostradamus tour they only played two songs from the album, the British Steel tour was a cash grab and so is Epitaph the tour in support of the idea of not doing any more tours.

That's a cool picture and story. I think Drowning Pool is awesome. A very good live band. I have a video of them from
Rock on the Range. People think metal is dying but you had to see the size of the crowd and the enthusiasm in it. Very
high energy. I would put it up but the quality is poor and I don't have it on youtube.

Is metal dying? I think so!!
That's the evolution - in music style, the musicians and bands,
the music industry and, of course, the customers!!
It's not a problem because of the downloads.
A lot of peoples/fans have lost their trust and interest in a lot of bands
like Metallica, Iron Maiden and now in Priest too, for an example.
Yep, that's goes to the members of Priest and their management:
It's not the right time to kidding and faking the peoples out there.
All your fucking statements are worthless until you start to tell us all
the truth!! Ya, we have deserve it!! Don't forget it:
You need us the fans to get a status like you have!!
It's very easy to game it away but it's very hard to get it back!!
Think about it!!

Hey now! Must the younger generation be blamed for everything?
Don't forget, adults want everything for free too, and music is no exception. There are quite a few guilty parties here who admit to illegaly downloading music for free.

The new generation coming up wants it all for free. Not all of them, but most, and they can get their hands on just about anything.
The new bands coming up have to starve to death, charge more for their shows in hopes to recoop some money.
Like I told my daughter, I know the cost of living has gone up and all but concerts used to be cheep to attend. Festival seating, you pick the view you want. Good times.
Now all concerts are expensive! The mechandise is not cheep either. All this heavy increase is due largely to the fact bands don't make money off records anymore, only tours.
At the same time, I have to place some blame with the record companies. When they were the only game in town they really raised the prices in the 80's, then 90's with the CD going mass market, and never stopped until their own technology turned around and bit them in the ass. Now the whole industry is at the mercy of a whole generation of kids who don't want to pay for music.
