I'm not a "metal fan" per se in that I don't like to box myself into a particular genre of music and become a metalhead tragic.



That said I like many metal bands, saw "Lamb Of God" last year and have plenty of Slipknot, Machine Head, etc, probably listen to about 50 different metal bands and like all kinds of metal (i.e. dark, death, etc).

Is there still a metal TV show on Channel 31? If so I think you guys will like it a lot <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Indeed I am proud to say that I am a metal fan as I have the collection and I have the hair. \m/



I like many metal bands, especially Testament. Others I often listen to are Arch Enemy, Carcass, Corrosion of Conformity, Devin Townsend, Die Krupps, GZR, Metallica, Mr. Bungle, Prong, Rammstein, Sepultura, White Zombie, Megadeth, Strapping Young Lad, Dimebag Darrell, In-Flames, Rob Zombie, Fear Factory, Nailbomb, Pantera, Disturbed and In Flames.

hi shockwolf, what is the next big metal tour for melbourne? any big metal bands coming out? i am not really up with which metal bands are popular these days.

[shockwolf]

There is one major huge gig coming up in Melbourne that I know of with tones of huge bands... I forget what it is called, but unfortunately it was that popular that the tickets have all sold out now, so there is no point in remembering really. Sorry! lol

[glen]

hahaha. yeah that is a memory best forgotten if can't get tickets! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Parkway Drive are gigging on the 29th of september at festivus hall, highly recommend you get a hold of their latest "deep blue", great album.

[Harvester Of Sorrow]

I'm a big metal fan I like to think haha.

Hey! I love metal) I even play the bass guitar in a death metal band =) I like most of groups mentioned by ShockWolF (like Arch Enemy, Carcass, Devin Townsend, Metallica, Rammstein, Sepultura, Megadeth, Strapping Young Lad, Pantera) I also like System of a down, Amon Amarth, Die Ärzte, Septic Flesh, Children of Bodom, Beloved Enemy, Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, Nightwish, Manowar, Apocalyptica, Dimmu Borgir, Marilyn Manson, Deicide and what not X)

[shockwolf]

Nataly, you play bass in a DM band? That's awesome!

On rare occasions I still get out my axe and play some tunes. I've forgotten most of the songs I used to know, but I can still play Replica by Fear Factory from start to finish and I remember some of Incarnated Solvent Abuse and Corporal Jigsore Quandary by Carcass.

[Nataly]

Cool! When I come to Melbourne, let's make a band =)



Well, accept our own songs we play such covers as Heartwork (Carcass), The Immortal (Arch Enemy), Death In Fire (Amon Amarth), The Pursuit Of Vikings (Amon Amarth), Raining Blood (Slayer), Violent Revolution (Kreator) =)

Sounds good to me! Though I've never really been in a band before... Could be interesting lol!

[Nataly]

It is indeed! By the way what about rock-clubs in Melbourne? Are concerts of local bands common? Are there many local bands in general =)? Cause I'd really like to play when (or if) I eventually come to Australia (and Melbourne particularly)

[shockwolf]

The rock scene in Melbourne I believe is pretty huge. There are plenty of live bands and gigs around as well as rock clubs/rock nights. All the major bands always stop by Melbourne for gigs.







I'm fairly new to Melbourne myself and I'm not really sure of every where to look, but I do know of a club called DV8, that has a rock night I think every Saturday. They have 3 floors. The first floor is fairly heavy and mainstream metal, the 2[sup]nd[/sup] floor is mostly 80's rock and goth and the top floor normally has a random live band.

What country are you in at the moment?

[Nataly]

Wow, sounds cool! I'm sure rock clubs and gigs in Melbourne are a cut above ours. I'm from Russia =) So I'm sorry for my mistakes which I don't notice  <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[shockwolf]

Well, I must say you do a great job of typing in English Nataly. I would never have guessed that it was your second language.



Russian? OMG! You probably have the sexiest accent in the world! lol But don't worry about me, I'm married. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



I'm sure you'll fit right in, here in Melbourne Nataly, it’s a great place for pretty much anyone, especially us alternative types. I think you'll love it. Although I'm an Aussie (From Canberra – I know I can hear the other Aussies saying Booooo! But I'm not keen on it either) I have been living in the UK, Blackpool mainly, for about 13 years and it sure is a breath of fresh air to get away from the ways of Britain and start living in Melbourne. It really is one of the best places to live, I think. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
