A slight bit of a rip off from the 'I buy you a pint - I know you forum' thread

A bit shitty unoriginal boring stuff to do really but it needs to be done as we've had a lot of new folk start posting on here recently. Maybe it's a bit late in the day to be doing this seeing as the forum is going to move soon but when it does eventually move then we can do it all again and improve it.

Here's what you gotta do:

I have been to metal gigs before that but I was young and the bands I seen were shit so i'm not counting them. hehehe

What Do You Hate In Metal: In metal!? Nothing! Out of metal... Big Trousers - any thing that feature the word 'remix' - Licsenced establishments that dont sell ale! - Any genre of music that i with my verylimited musical skills could create, i.e. Punk, Nu-Metal, Dance Music, All that other crap... - People who think they are metal but upon closer inspection reveal themselves to be utter wankers...

1st Ever Metal Gig: Its sad to say but i was seriously under nourished in metal until... Bloodstock 03! yes, twas my first metal gig...

Best Ever Metal Gig: Well it did rule rather so id say it was also the best!

Name: Sam Bloomfield (nice, no?)

Age: 17

What Sort Of Metal Are You into: Power, Progressive, Symphonic, Complicated stuff. I do have a few albums that span the spectrum though, I like at least one band of every type.

What Do You Love In Metal: Definately the community, Arguing with my mate Jono up there, THE HAIR, beer, epicness, losing it to super-riffs, the comedy aspect of it all and having a good time, and I suppose the fact I know I like the best genre in the world :)

What Do You Hate In Metal: As Jonoleth already put, plus the insanity of Stratovarius, a severe lack of Matt Barlow, and the fact there is only one Bloodstock a year.

1st Ever Metal Gig: Bloodstock '02

Best Ever Metal Gig: Bloodstock '03 because I was with my girlfriend (that's the kinda thing you have to put to keep things sweet)

--***if you're Metal enough you'll also include a pic of yourself***--

Name Mike Mullins

Age: 25

What Sort Of Metal Are You into: Heavy/Thrash/Death/Power/Black Metal

What Do You Love In Metal: Guitar solos, Keeping it true, The epicness of power metal and the fact that the metal scene is the best in the world and the friendliest. Patch jackets, leather, spikes, studded belts, headbanging!

What Do You Hate In Metal: Nu metal, people who will listen to something just cos they think its cool and not give a fuck bout the band, Narrow minded fools

1st Ever Metal Gig: Donnington 96

Name: Charlie, Chaz

Age: 44

What Sort Of Metal Are You into: Prog-Metal, Power-Metal, Goth-Metal, some Death Metal, some NWOBHM, Classic/Hard Rock, classic Punk, good AOR/Melodic Rock. Not really a huge fan of Thrash, Tech/Math-Metal or Black Metal

What Do You Love In Metal:
The guitars, the solos, the posing, the cheese

What Do You Hate In Metal:
All this 'true' bollocks - true metal, true black metal etc. Metal fans are enough of a minority as it is without further dividing ourselves up into fans of this genre and that.

Hair Metal - a slick marketing gimmick used to sell vaguely rock records to young impressionable women, based upon hairspray, lipstick and ballads. May it NEVER return!


1st Ever Metal Gig: Blue Oyster Cult @ Manchester Free Trade Hall, around 75 or 76

Best Ever Metal Gig: probably one of the many Dream Theater gigs I've been too

me-in-a-suit.jpg
 
Name: Lee

Age: 30

What Sort Of Metal Are You into: Any I think is good....there are only two types of music...good and bad (subjective of course)

What Do You Love In Metal:The diversity, the fact you can still see it played live,and of course the rubber, pvc, leather and fishnet clad laydees.

What Do You Hate In Metal: The elitism, the inabilty to accept/respect other genres of music...some good examples of these traits above!!!

1st Ever Metal Gig:Donington '88

Best Ever Metal Gig: Kiss at the NEC in full makeup was a dream come true!! Other highlights include Dream Theater doing SFAM, Clash of the Titans (Slayer/Megadeth/Testament/Suicidal Tendencies!!)

if you're Metal enough you'll also include a pic of yourself........obviously I'm not!!
 
Name: Lisa

Age: 38...39 by Bloodstock! The BIG 40 approacheth!

What sort of metal are you into: I'm quite open minded about what I listen to but mainly I love power, progressive, thrash and traditional!

What do you love in metal: The sense of community, great grinding riffs that catch you right in your solar plexus, seeing it all live and synchronised headbanging live a la Gamma Ray, Edguy and Primal Fear! I love all the fantasy stuff too...dragons, demons and wizards.

What do you hate in metal: Like Lee...the elitism! Surely slightly metal is better than not at all! Live and let live I say!

1st Metal Gig: Not sure if my first was metal.....more rock...I'll tell you the first two! UFO at the Middlesbrough Town Hall in 1980 followed by Saxon at Newcastle City Hall in 1981.

Best Ever Metal Gig: Bloodstock 02. The Rays were awesome! Best live band I have ever seen and I saw my favourite band Blind Guardian and met my favourite man Andre Olbrich! :D Ohhh...and Kai Hansen personally presented me with his guitar pick! :D I now carry it everywhere with me!

Pic: Unfortunately Eagle has posted a pic of me without my approval!

BTW I actually do know his age!! :D

1st Ever Metal Gig: Bwahahaa. This is going to sound so lame. Some shite punk concert my "friends" made me go to.

Best Ever Metal Gig: Once again, very lame. Probably Nu-Metal twatheads Spineshank, I seem to remember them being the best of Download 2003 :S

if you're Metal enough you'll also include a pic of yourself.

I'm not Metal enough. I'm only 30% metal, and 70% plastic.
 
Name: Vince ' stock

Age: 41 on Mothers day

What Sort Of Metal Are You into: Heavy (thats all that needs to be said!)

What Do You Love In Metal: Riffs, Vocals, Priest, Melody, Priest, Vocals, Riffs and Babes!

What Do You Hate In Metal: The older classic bands are getting old! Oh and not too keen on Death style vocals and metal bands who play songs that all sound the same! Oh and as someone else wrote, the division of metal - nu, goth, death, thrash, power, true (true - wtf is this?). Its all bloody HEAVY METAL to me!

1st Ever Metal Gig: Van Halen - Rainbow Theatre, London - 1979

Best Ever Metal Gig: Van Halen - Rainbow Theatre, London - 1979 then Bloodstock 2004, oh and possibly a band I saw a few days ago.

And you still didn't book them for this year? Hell you could have blown the entire festival budget on them alone and filled the rest up with a bunch of unknowns and I'd still have been in heaven. Oh well, maybe next year... :)
 
Name: Tet

Age: 33

What Sort Of Metal Are You into: Mostly trad and power metal, although my tastes are heading a bit towards the more extreme at the moment -- melodic black metal is well worth a listen these days.

What Do You Love In Metal: Ermm.... the music? Screaming twin guitar leads, soaring vocals, chugging riffs. The adreneline rush at a good gig.

What Do You Hate In Metal: Nothing. What I call "metal" has nothing to hate. If it's in Kerrang!, then it's probably not metal... (that said, apparently they gave "Devil's Ground" a 5K rating!)

1st Ever Metal Gig: Yngwie + Quireboys in 1988, I think.

Best Ever Metal Gig: So many to choose from, but if I had to pick one, it'd probably be W.A.S.P. at Rock City in 1997.
