Metal and Rock in China

[Azchael]

Hi there,

China is not only rich in culture of the past 5000 years, but has also present cultural pieces of art to appreciate. In the musical sector this also includes the Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk and Post Punk Scene. Even though rock music developed just within 15 years, the present scene is more rich than you might think.

The following webpage http://www.rockinchina.com is an English-language webpage dedicated only to Chinese underground music (esp. Heavy Metal), introducing bands, such as Ritual Day (Shi Jiao Ri), Tang Dynasty (Tang Chao), Hollow, Twisted Machine, Yaksa and many more.

Check out the development of Chinese Rock, Punk and Metal from the beginnings of Cui Jian via He Yong and Chao Zai up to the present Rebellion of Denial at http://www.rockinchina.com/History.html.

Have a look at China's present scenes, such as Beijing or Shanghai at http://www.rockinchina.com/Szene.html and if you have time then come to one of the following concerts:

June 19th, Shanghai The Ark: Rococo, sexy 4-girl punk band play for free.
July 1st / 2nd, Beijing, Extremem and Heavy Metal bands play a 4 hour tribute evening to Metallica.

The Chinese love metal. Almost any time I talk to somebody on SoulSeek, they're Chinese.

Suck it

rock died in china in the 90's.

The only "metal" that the chinese know of right now is Linkin Park. This is my impression from going back to the country.

I hope to be proven wrong though, I'm sure there's probably a worthwhile underground scene in china.

P.S. Xorv, what is it about chinese eyes that piss you off?

so you've got something against anyone with slanted eyes?
What if the guy was chinese and didn't have slanted eyes?
What if the guy was white and had slanted eyes?
What if the guy was black and had slanted eyes?
What if the guy was black and didn't have slanted eyes?
What if you found your long lost twin brother had slanted eyes?
What if your mother had plastic surgery and somehow got slanted eyes as a result?
What if you met the members of your fav metal band and found out - to your horror, that they have slanted eyes?

Hi there,

well, first of all: Chinese rock ain't that, check out www.rockinchina.com/history.html for the whole coverage on Chinese rock and metal history.

And to all those in this thread tham spam their racistic statements: I thought metalheads are tolerant or at least can accept other people's opinion. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Rock on!!!
