It's too little good vidz in metal I think, what's the matter, is there not enough instructors or something? All the good stuff I've seen has been by artists such as Life of Agony, Type O Negative, new Sepultura etc. which isn't really metal in my eyes. Is there anywhere I can download Mother North (my favorite Satyricon song too btw)? I've been looking for Roadkill Extravaganza everywhere over here!
I don't think there're not enough instructors or vid-people. I think it depends on the status of metal itself. This music isn't really 'mass-compatible'. In Sweden is a really big fanbase, in Germany too, but that's not enough(in realtion to the other music such as pop, hip hop etc.). I mean, which hip hopper wants to see Satyricon? Only metalheads would like to see it. And these people normally avoid MTV and the other ones, except the station is famous for showing metal. I don't know how it is in the foreign countries, but in Germany its this way.
That's the problem. I mean, which TV-station would show Hypocrisy or Satyricon or Immortal? They only want money, and so they're forced to play this pop/techno/hiphop-shit, 'cuz no other kind of music would bring the money. Okay, sometimes MTV brought some Iron Maiden stuff, but not the harder ones.
Because not many people like metal, and a vid-production still costs alot no publisher (Metal Blade, Nuclear Blast etc) would take the risk and let the band make one, except for DVDs or stuff, 'cuz they know the fans would buy it. And the band which want to make one must be really famous, 'cuz a vid is still a risk.
I mean, just go to your sis, bro or something like that and ask them how they see metal, but that only functions if they're not into it
Okay, this test must be increased, but I don't think somebody here would go to the next teen and ask...
A poll would be great too...
Next test: Go to the next music-store, to the next supermarket and to the next department store and look in the music department. Look after metal and then compare the size of the metal section with the one of pop compatible music. You'll propably see the difference. At least in Germany you'll see it
Don't know how it relates in Sweden, Norway and other countries
Perhaps the AA guys could say something to this topic...when they would be here
Download Satyricon's Mother Nord? Try P2P progs such as WinMX, KaZaa Lite ('cuz the 'normal' version is spyware contaminated), EMule, EDonkey, Overnet. When you want Overnet and EDonkey in one programm, download the Overnet HYBRID. A 'normal' http or ftp server I haven't found
so the P2P version is a real solution.
Hope, its understandable and no thought misses
