Classics Reborn

He could make himself a real niche. Instead of uplifting happy xmas songs he could do bitter undermining xmas songs.

Haha, every writer at Blabbemouth would buy 5 copies!

I wasn't sure where else to put this, but for those too embarrassed at being called a peado when they admit to watching BabyMetal clips now there is an alternative. BabyMetal with a Cyborg from 2300 as the guitarist.

 

[redfly]

Hold on, let me put some anime on. God between Japan and Norway metal's becoming a gimmicky joke.

 

[Slammed]

It's kind of funny, it appears to be set up by the guitarist and he's made a big back story (set in the future) about how all music no matter what kind connects people. I don't really know if it's quite as manufactured as BabyMetal but Doug Aldrich had the guy at his NAMM show and one of the girls was slotted as a replacement from one of the BabyMetal girls. They've only got a few songs out by the look of it so it's a bit hard to tell how talented the musos are.

 

[redfly]

He is a good player. Just jeans and a tshirt. That's all you need. But he is Japanese!

 

[Slammed]

Having a gimmick isn't a bad thing for some bands and given the number of bands in Japan the guy might actually be onto something that puts him on a different pedestal to bands like BabyMetal and others.

 

[redfly]

I might think there are a thousand of him in Japan lol.

 

[Slammed]

And they probably all come from a different time and play a different brand of future music with female singers....if you believe in time travel of course

 

[redfly]

Hahaha, for some reason that sounds spot on.

 

[Slammed]

Maybe Marty Freidman is part cyborg and that's why he lives in Japan

 

[redfly]

If he wasn't when he got there he is now!

 

[Slammed]

Well he needs to go full cyborg and get a costume!

 

[redfly]

Haha! damn right! Iron Marty!

 

[Slammed]

Oh yeah he's going to be onto his lawyers immediately to get them to copyright that!

Oh look it's going to be a night of nostalgia filled with a bunch of annoying Trump rants and rants about whatever else is topical on the day!

 

[redfly]

I'd troll him about the thing with that politician. So they aren't going to play? What's the point.

 

[Slammed]

I wasn't sure what the idea was either. Sure for dedicated fans it might be good for a meet and greet but not playing seems silly. Although lets face it I'm not sure I'd want to hear Dee and JJ together on stage, and I definitely wouldn't want to hear them speak what's on their mind.

 

[redfly]

No it sounds really dull to me.
