Great thread.

I really loved - what was termed "Industrial Metal." NIN is representative of this genre; is is Stabbing Westward:

A bit off the beaten path - Kingdom Come.
My friends absolutely hated this awesome band, LOL.

Is Metal Music popular in Japan? Had never listened to Japanese Rock before I played what you’ve posted on threads you’ll have to post some more.

Yeah, it's huge over there. Depending on what route you want to take. There's the traditional heavy metallers like Concerto Moon, Loudness & Kelly Simonz' Blind Faith or a lot of it falls under what's known as the Visual Kei movement, where the look is just as important as the music. Was lucky enough to get a ticket to see one of the fore-runners of this at the Tokyo Dome with the X-Japan reunion and saw them again at Shepherd's Bush when they came over to London. They've been followed by the likes of Dir en Grey, Lynch., & girugämesh. There's also a plethora of all-female metal bands like Mary's Blood, Lovebites & the stempunk inspired Fate Gear.

Are you kidding? There's a thread in which @JRockBlues must've posted pretty much every Japanese rock record ever made. Think it was the music and numbers thread.

Usually post a few in the Music Association game thread. Just trying to broaden a few musical horizons and avoid the usual circle-jerking of the same few artists over and over again.

Will this thread last longer than the Classic and Prog varieties ?

Do brass bands count as metal music?

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Do prostitutes playing instruments class as a brass band?
