singapore's in japan wat.
Hahah, oh well. It's only black metal and death metal for tr00 people ain't it? I don't give a shit. Music is music.
I find the problem with tr00 people is taking the music too seriously. The problems in Malaysia regarding the black metal shit. Weren't they done by 'tr00' people?
Good thing over here we don't have the problem of having metal banned.

we don't ban metal.
There are a lot of people listening to metal.
but the people that don't think that metal is noisy banging with crazy drums...
We should hold annual metal gigs... at (drum roll) INDOOR STADIUM...
give singapore idol a run for their money as on how many people show up...hahaha
Personaly, i think singapore is slowly opening up to metal and other un-mainstream genres. As opposed to a few years back, you can hardly find anything that had to do with metal in stores.
So i think singapore is moving, slow, but steadily. after awhile you're gona see metal bands performing at Baybeats or something.
If we really want to make a fuss about it. lets go hijack the radio stations
BAN ALL MAINSTREAM CRAP. and turn on some trivium.
HELL YEAH!!!

Metal band performing at a large scale venue? Padang has already been done. By none other than the mighty Chry5alids. They performed recently at Biennale.

Deadly assumption. It's China.super_punk said:
anyway. are u guys sure u wanna associate Metal with Mainstream? A world of contradictions, ey? God bless all'a ye.
Pros and Cons, yes.
As much as we want to keep the scene free of poseurs that run around telling others they are black metal, wear pentagrams and start spewing anti-christian blashphemy, this expansion will also increase audiences in gigs, open up other people to our genre and make it more acceptable in modern day society. I believe it will do massive good for the local scene.
Let's face it. Singapore's social culture has never shared an open minded view such as perhaps Norway's infamous black metal or viking roots, or teenage pop culture in the US. As much as I would love our metal scene to be free of 'metalheads' who have the wrong perception of the music, I believe we should also be accepting the good with the bad. It would be hard to believe that even in large scale populations in the metal scene from countries like the US, that there are no 'scene' kids around.
And let's face it. We as musicians, listen to metal for the rage, the anger, the technicality, blah blah. Whatever the reason is, everyone around us also has the right to listen to the music. There is no certain categorisation of who can or cannot listen to metal.
I am just as sick of people who get too absorbed into a musical genre. Well, metal is meant to be evil, angry and malicious. But they certainly don't have to let it get so into their heads. I do think we are fortunate in a way. We don't have issues such as the Koran buring in M'sia, church burnings whatsoever.
I believe in acceptance. Our society has limitations and restriction but I believe of all things, music and metal have none of the above.
This is my opinion. I would love to hear your views as well.
Cheers!
