hey whats the worst metal state

[EricT]

Utah was an ok metal state... till most of the venues closed down and then the only remiaing ones were 21+ ones where you have to "pay a guy 25 bucks to get in." And witht here being only 21+ venues for metal, the crowds are tiny so none of the bands want to play here anymore.

Fuck Utah.

Fuck Utah in the ass with a large anvil.

Etc.

Idaho?

Heh. I grew up in North Idaho; had to come here to Spokane to see concerts. There are some shows here (well, Nevermore tomorrow night!) I think Boise has "quite a bit" going on as well....

Montana is a pretty good guess...

Er, any state without a good-sized city??

 

[Reminiscence]

Massachusetts isn't the greatest. There is way too much fucking metalcore here.

As far as local bands go..Michigan doesn't have a very good showing. The "scene" is a LOT of hardcore/metalcore/emo/screamo BULLSHIT. Fortunately, Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Flint draw good bands for shows on a somewhat regular basis. And amazingly, Necrophagist is playing in my town in June, and I heard Vital Remains was coming too.

 

[PlatypusJesus]

Arkansas has to come very, very close. Damn lucky we were to get Opeth, and I missed them. Damn it.

 

[zmetallica]

everywhere there is emo/metalcore/hardcore bands, don't factor those into the equation, it must be true metal alive

[Lunar Still]

Is it true that the area around the border of Michigan and Indiana is called "Michiana?"

Where I am, we're known as "Kentuckiana," the dumbest name on earth.

That's not relevant to this discussion.

 

[Lynn]

Sure it is!!! And there are some killer metal bands in Michigan, they just rarely surface in the sea of crap that is out there.

 

[alphacorvus]

I agree. The sea of crap is so deep you need a goddamn winch to tow yourself out of it.

What killer metal bands did you have in mind?

Philadelphia used to be a little bit better than it is now... but i'd have to agree with the whole NY/NJ... and throw PA in there... i can always find a show relatively close... if I don't go to Philly, I go to Atlantic City... if not AC, then I go to NYC.... so I have 3 fall back plans. And Delaware and Maryland aren't too far. So I could get to anything down there pretty easily.

 

[Super Mahrio]

California is a decent state for metal..but it kinda matters where you are in the state...most of the good metal is in and around the bay

PA has nothing but two cities, in this case we'll use philly, most of it's scene isn't really metal sadly. but they got a bunch of kick ass metal bands in there so i give em credit. it is all one small area. if we throw in MA and VA to the mix we got one killer area/scene

 

[neuroticandroid]

Texas has got to be one of the worst. I cant think of one redeeming quality of this hellhole.

um, what about pantera? texas at least has that much going for it. as for the worst, i'd say iowa, god i hate slipknot!!!

Russell, would it not be worse if we were referred to as "Indyucky?"

 

[Lunar Still]

Hell, at least then it would be funny.

worst metal state...is hawaii..does metal even exisit there?

i wouldnt give a fuck about metal if i was in hawaii

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

what about alaska....has a concert of any type of music ever happened there?

 

[slowdeath]

Kansas overall may be lame, but there is a good metal scene in Wichita and Lawrence. Too many wiggers in this freakin state.
