I agree Charly.

I also agree with your comment about Motley Crue, Motorhead, Judas Priest et al. Personally I have been in close quarters to a number of metal artists over the years. Bands like Nazareth, Kiss, Twisted Sister, etc. I may not know all there is to know, but I have a deep appreciation for this music form. I certainly know the business model well.

As long as it's wild and rebellous, i wouldn't really mind. But i still think the genre (hard&heavy) deserves a section of its own, run by somebody who's into that kind of music... (yes, i know i already said it a few times...)
And, from what i remember, the idea of Brian's section was discussed somewhere more than a year ago... it took quite a while for it to appear!

I say alright to a metal forum, cuz one of the things that I enjoy, is when we "crossover" a bit. It will only help us to forge new "combos" of sound. Is there any metal reggae? We have alternative country, which was not something I expected! Metal country?

If you like Heavy Metal with the emphasis on HEAVY check out Doom Metal Legends Electric Wizard

Thanks David,

PM me your number again. Perhaps we can arrange to meet up, as I still fly to Vancouver a fair bit.
