nah - there are still die-hard fans of polka - you can't kill genres - you can only dethrone them from the main stream. But even then, they always resurface at some point cuz...well, metal is cool. You just can't argue that

I don't like any of his music, to be honest
I made this cover for my buddy Karl, the song was number 1 Germany when he was born

QUOTE (Gabriel Leopardi @ Jan 18 2012, 11:04 AM)  Hi there!! I found that phrase in another thread that I started about solos in meanstream music and I decided to start a new thread to discuss this accusation.... what are your thoughts?? Being here in the states, I saw the abuse that Metal and Metal bands took after things got to the point where most Metal bands started looking and sounding the same (big selling/sellout bands I mean) just before grunge took over and anything you heard on the radio with a guitar was being played by a guy in a flanel shirt. Thank God for Europe where Metal has gone to thrive and morph and fray in to infinite sub-genres and scenes (Swedish Melodic Death Metal, Finnish Black Metal, etc.). This then feeds back here to the states where hard core fans incorporate bits and pieces of that in to their own work. Not to say Europe isn't packed with crap music, as Christian says, it's way packed. But yeah, the resistance is bigger there. The good news is that YOU CAN"T KILL METAL, you can put lipstick on it and call it glam and make it work for a living (e.g. commercial viability), you can force it underground where it forgets what the lipstick was about and goes back to leather and denim, but you just can't kill it. It's eternal

I love both genres, but I don't think neither harmed each other
different audiences for each and they both have awesome elements which helped me a lot in my creative endeavors.

hey guys! these posts are really cool... I think that I agree with all of you, but the discussion turned very interesting. As Todd said I think that Europe is now the place where you can find the most awesome metal bands... and sincerely it happens to me the same than Cosmin, I love both styles!
