Brian Medway's "It's Only Rock 'n Roll

[winston]

What WE called metal in the day, was Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Grand Funk, all the power chord guys. All these bands also fit the broad category of "It's only rock n roll.

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.

We can discuss metal if you wish. I am very familiar with metal arists and the business concepts that apply in that area. I suspect that Sheena is also comfortable with your preferred genre, if you would prefer to discuss metal aritists there.

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

Congratulations Brian. Our meeting date never got off the ground. You'll probably be even more busy now.

Thanks David,

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