I think I can spot Romania as being pretty colored towards the nice red I think

Offcourse man, 'cos the government is suporting metal in those countries.
And there are no Scandinavians 'cos right now, they're ripping hard in their practicing rooms

What are Belgian Waffles ?
Don't say 'waffles that are Belgian'
And on that subject, does anybody know these things ? They are absolutely gorgeous... rest them over your coffee cup and the heat makes the caramel in the waffle go slightly gooey and soft

I could easily begin every morning with a coffee and a stroopwafel

The best Belgian waffles are the brussels waffles ...now that's a very big crunchy waffle..very light though.
Mostly served with powder sugar or cream....delicious !!!You need a special iron to bake those ..
EUh...now what was the metal question ??

Only at GMC can a metal thread become a waffle thread within less than 10 posts 
I have heard Germany has also 2 or 3 quite talented metal bands but we've got too many inhabitants for this map

but we've got too many inhabitants for this map Come on, we've had this discussion before where I said that Scorpions were the only German metal band.. they couldn't possibly have any more.... there's just no way...

all this talk of metal bands has made me really hungry for some reason

Wait, Germany has bands? Thought it was just Strudel?
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 11 2012, 04:14 PM
hahaha and we ended talking about Waffles....
Chile has more metal bands than Argentina... but Argentina has more metal bands than Brazil. It's curious because Brazil has had the most popular metal band compared with the other two countries... (Sepultura, Soulfly, Angra, Shaman).

Strupwaffels are incredibly delicious I love them as well.
On the other hand, in here, just a few bands from the underground, mine included (I like to believe), have taken the time to pay attention and focus on doing things right - stage presence, sound and composition. Otherwise, most of the people treat things pretty superficially - can't blame them though, as metal music does not sell in here...

And..... Belgium ???
Just in my town there are 3 punk/metal covers band, 2 originals and maybe more that i don't even know (btw i am not talking about a city ,but a Village) , our undergrounds music has a lots of hardcore punk and dirty metal bandw

I Think Belgium is the most underrated metal country there is. Their is 0 support for metal bands here but we have amazing bands. I'm thinking of making a thread here on GMC to make those metal bands known to this community , any one who would want this?
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jul 11 2012, 04:44 PM
That would be great mate! I don't know Belgium metal bands so this could be very interesting.
Posted by: Bossie Jul 12 2012, 06:48 AM
Bring it on !!! 
Posted by: SCProphet Jul 12 2012, 09:47 AM
I made the Thread , but I'm not keeping it only to Belgium bands, I hope you check it out and enjoy it

I would actually agree with this. There is only one Romanian band I listen to, but their best albums have always had about four year intervals. Have you heard of Negură Bunget, Cosmin?
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jul 13 2012, 07:36 PM
I am friends with their vocalist
and used to talk with their ex guitarist a few years ago. They are definitely NOT my kind of music but I respect them A LOT for what they have achieved - BTW, they have toured the USA 2 months ago
Posted by: Todd Simpson Jul 13 2012, 10:26 PM
I gather that in Scandanavia, saying this it almost like saying "GEORGIA HAS REDNECKS!" do tell?
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jul 14 2012, 11:54 AM
Georgia has Rednecks ???? I refuse to believe it !!

I know it's shocking but yes!
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jul 17 2012, 08:50 AM
I'm reading a book at the moment called Red Mist that is set in Georgia !
Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jul 17 2012, 04:13 PM
Ahaaa
How cool is that? I will tell Stefan If you want autographs or a CD, just let me know man

That's the crime drama with the bits about the Womens Prison in Savannah right? Savannah is about as Southern as Southern gets. A movie came about a bit ago, "midnight in the garden of good and evil" that, from what I gather, is pretty spot on about that town. It's a wacky place
Posted by: Ben Higgins Jul 20 2012, 09:31 AM
That's right.. by Patricia Cornwell. I can almost feel the muggy heat when I read it !
I've heard of that movie.. if I'm not mistaken it was directed by a certain Mr Eastwood ??
