If you had the power.

[NapalmForLunch]

Would you make metal mainstream and on radio? I know that I would try.

 

[nafnikufesin]

Absolutely. The only thing against it would be having to see my favorite bands in stadiums instead of intimate clubs, but ultimately, I want to see the bands I like be successful, I want other people to hear them and like them, and I want to be able to listen to the radio without puking on Britney and JLo.

 

[Aggressor]

Yes I would, would be cool to have a whole Metal army, instead of just a Metal militia
But, who would I then call gay, if everyone listened to Metal...?

 

[SculptedCold]

I don't think i'd want to make metal mainstream, because then in a way it wouldn't be special. =) Sorry, that sounds very elitist. I don't think i'd want the mentality of metal to be mainstream, i'll rather say. The music and bands, sure, the mentality, no. Every genre of music has a general mentality and attitude, and the world would probably suck if everyone was....'metal'. Who knows, capitalism and humankind would probably become extinct, I dunno.

Yeah really, I dunno.

That's what i'm gonna vote. I. Don't. Know.

Yay. Ignorance is bliss!

 

[Tranquil Chaos]

it would be pretty cool to turn on the radio and actually hear good music, or see those rare metal videos on tv, but if it were mainstream there would be more and more bands sounding exactly the same and it would start to suck and that would be bad. i dont know and thats what i voted

 

[manuelgv]

I don't know if I would
not because they would sell out but I never like the radio versions of some songs

 

[The Yngster]

If I could take something like Seismic Radio and put it on mainstream radio, I would definitely do it.

 

[Polyeidus]

Not after what happened to it in the eighties...

but I guess it's possible it wouldn't suffer.

But like Sculpted said, it might not be as special.

 

[Ethereal Sage]

I wouldn't put it on mainstream, because then the enjoyment of 'discovering' a new band would be lost, everything would just be fed to us....I think the genuine love of music is more about discovering, rather than having music forced on me.
On the other side of the coin, it would be of benfit to new bands as they would have more established and financial backing.

Different people have different reasons....who has the most beneficial reason?

 

[NapalmForLunch]

I think that metal bands need more money. That is why I would do whatever I could.

 

[Night]

damn, i dont know man...

 

[The Grand Wazoo]

Nooooo NEVAR!
All teh ............scary people will like it!
Noo
I like this.. exclusivity

 

[Taliesin]

Hey TGW... I just hand you this little note with my signature and whenever you say something you just add "oh yeah.. and NV thinks the same, I got that thingy here, so Im authorized so"
That would make everything easier for me

 

[xenophobe]

NO. That already happened in the late 80's and early 90's. It ended in disaster.

 

[R.I.P.2]

...No...

 

[DrBell]

i voted "i dont know" because i didnt see the question in the post and thought it was some kind of joke...i would vote yes

 

[Stoner Sioux]

No because it would ruin it. Death/Black/Doom metal is special because it is underground and not exploited by the media. Metal is on the radio, but it is Nu Metal or Hair Metal.

 

[the real thrax]

No, I would not, because... I don't know I just wouldn't, that would suck.

 

[no country for old wainds]

I don't particularly like the idea of mindless morons obsessing over my favourite bands, without having the mental capacity to appreciate the music. So no.

 

[forevernin]

I said yes because it would be better than what they are playing on the radio right now
