Not bad...that guy goes apeshit, reminds me of "Dillinger Escape Plan - Panasonic Youth".



What's this? Goth Rock? No wonder then. Pretty good performance.



Stay heavy \m/

I might have probably posted this before, but here's some insane **** :



Ladies and Djent-lemen, behold :

Even with only 1 string,that thing costs more than a decent car.

As for the 'djent' part,there are also some skilled players(djent-ers) like Tosin Abasi.

Lol...I am a hard one to catch :p

Yup, I did notice. But the rest of the guitar could be fretless. Lot of experimental artists use fretless guitars/basses.

The sad scene of gig rivalry in India, really well written article :

Though he's right on most of the article,i couldnt agree on the 'ticket rate *****ing' part,coz it was like 4k or sumthing for that akon concert in 2011,and more for that david guetta gig.You cant expect some intl band to perform for cheap.People go to gigs to see their favourite bands,because they want to have some good time,nobody has ever missed a gig coz they didnt had the 'money'but more likely that they didnt 'really' wanted to go.Even a pub gig will cost you 250/- add some beer(s) and it will be much higher.and here's Behemoth for 750/-,so why cant Slayer for 2500/-,so whats he whining about?We d be rather happy because for the first time we are having so much major gigs.There was a time when the whole Island express(train) was crowded with people headed for the maiden gig,back in 07,then no one complained about ticket rates.
At the same time the organisers like DNA are here solely for the purpose of making money,we knew that in 2010,when they insulted the whole indian rock/metal community.They dont mind our emotions nor the music,but people are forced(not really) to go there.But now i cant really complain anything,bcoz we couldnt even imagine some major metal bands to perform here,before 2007 and now 5 years after we are having so muchm bands and all of a sudden its the tour dates thats bothering people.The tour dates are similar because bands are not coming just to india,theyre on their own tour and i guess the organisers wouldnt be interested.
Its true that We lack some support for our bands(indian),but its the major bands that people are being attracted to and its always good to open for a major band,atleast people will know if that band has existed.But bands like Undying inc,Demonic ressurection etc are gaining some serious place in the international metal scene.

He is not whining about the cost. He is saying that organizers are struggling to pull crowds towards their own shows by setting up major bands at dates close to each other. Like Megadeth and Slayer. Now, people are confused where to go, since both are part of the Big 4 and are very reputed. If some people decide to see Megadeth, the Slayer show will suffer. Since this is Slayer's first show in India, it will not be a good sign. So, the organizers need to be more considerate.

Also, in December, Gojira and Testament are both performing on 15th Dec. Now, it is impossible for a person to see both and has to choose one over the other. That sucks donkey balls.

ah so sad so sad ..... here lives the sad creature whose plans for slayer were brutally murdered.......apparently my decision to skip a family function for slayer would result in me getting kicked out of the house .... ... .. sad days

on another note.. anyone here tried Macabre : a death metal band which specialises in making songs about the world's most infamous serial killers... Some of their songs are utter noise but then again , they got some nice tracks too

I said that because he was comparing the U.S scene to Ours'.In a place where the whole music industry is mostly based on films,EDM and such,how can we expect so much people to attend these shows and make these shows successful by paying less?Its $ 30 in U.S because its in U.S,and they dont need to fly half around the globe to perform here in India.Afterall its the first year that so many bands are coming here,so maybe theyll reduce the rates by next time,but that all depends on how successful these shows would turn out to be.
I think,it isnt the organisers who are fixing the dates,coz they already know that theyd get less ticket sales when they sign two major bands to perform days apart.Its more likely because of the bands tour schedule,i guess.i checked the tour dates,Megadeth are having their 'Thirteen' tour and after after India,its UAE.their next stop.for slayer its japan,after India.So they wont be able to change the tourdates.

cost does matter its transport+stay+tickets for a big concert, and you can only budget away so much time and money every month
he was clearly talking about the local scene only, think nh7 will get the most attendance
so its more or less nothing for 9 months, and all the biggest gigs crammed into a period of 3 months, it does eat into each other's pool of attendees
good article

NH7 always gets the most attendance because of its variety of genres. But the line up sucks mostly IMHO.

The LOG concert totally destroyed my neck, shoulders, arms and back. I couldn't walk right for the next one week . I had a problem lifting my head more than a few centimeters higher and had to support it with my hand while talking to someone. But, that was expected I guess, considering it was my first MAJOR concert.

Which show you talking about BTW?
